Li Yuanji was once the commander of the army and was well-versed in siege. He ordered Pei Longqian and Ma Sanbao to guard Xuanwu Gate and Anli Gate separately, leaving them with the Eastern Palace Guards and some of the guards in the city gate.
The so-called fast as the wind, the Xu Rulin, invaded like fire, and was still as motionless as the mountain. Li Yuanji’s subordinates were mainly cavalry, so he would invade like fire and rushed directly to Li Shimin. He was deeply convinced of Ding Yi’s arrangement, but his personality determines his destiny. He still believed that the direct attack on the other party would be more sharp and bright. He was not allowed to ride a horse in the big palace. There were more than 900 elite cavalrymen. Li Shimin had at most a hundred cavalrymen. Who could stop him? He was confident that the Tai Chi Palace was not vast in size, and he could run back and forth with a little extra.
In the flying paper of characters, Li Yuanji put on a helmet and wore armor, and swore: “Li Shimin killed his father and king, and was rebellious. Heaven destroyed him, and the earth was disgusted. We will punish him on behalf of heaven and vow to destroy him!” After a brief pause, he said: “You guys, Li Er has the power, and we will die without a place to bury him, and our children have no place to go. All wives and concubines will enter the School of Education and Visits. I dare not work hard to move forward!”
The soldiers shouted together: “I wish to follow the King of Qi to fight against the thieves, and thousands of victories!” The sound shook the palace.
Li Yuanji waved his armor and spear, Li Anyan, Kedazhi, Geshujitong, Xie Shufang, Li Sixing, and Wu Shiyi deputy. Dozens of sharp soldiers held flags in one hand and swords in the other hand. Amid the shouts of the army: “The King of Qin killed the lord, avenge the emperor!”, he rode forward and headed straight for the central hall of Tai Chi Palace, ignoring the gates of various places.
Kedazhi and Geshujitong were famous Turkic archers. They each rode a bow and pinched two or three arrows between their fingers. They kept observing the left and right at all times, but there were enemies shooting and killing them.
Li Yuanji and others had just turned a corner of the hall. Li Chengdao ran to the crown princess Zheng Guanyin and shouted, “Mother, the fourth uncle rushed out, it’s better for me to take people to protect his retreat and consolidate the results of the battle!”
Zheng Guanyin hugged Li Cheng in tears and said, “My son is heroic, but he has no eyes. Your father just left me, don’t take risks again!”
Li Chengdao was nutritious and exercised enough, and was fast-growing. He was nearly 1.6 meters tall at the age of ten. He broke free from his mother’s arms and shouted, “Today’s situation is either the death of the King of Qin or I will die. Every little strength must be used. Uncle Fourth left too many people in the city, which was really a waste. Please order me to allocate two hundred soldiers. If you don’t fight at this time, there will be no future!” The four younger brothers surrounded my mother and looked at my second brother with admiration.
Zheng Guanyin was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and called Zhang Bi: “Guard my son, choose two hundred soldiers and go down the city with him!”
Li Chengdao danced with a horizontal knife and jumped to the city ladder. He suddenly remembered something again, stopped and ordered, “Call two hundred eunuchs, bring some orders and follow me downstairs!” The two hundred soldiers and two hundred eunuchs walked, and saw a palace along the way, and entered it, pulled out all the eunuchs and palace maids inside, gave them equipment, and allowed them to follow them to strengthen their power! Snowball is just like, and the number of people is getting more and more.
Later, these parade eunuchs and palace maids wereUnder Li Chengdao’s organization, he shouted slogans, and the palace was in a mess.
Taicang is a large warehouse for the capital city’s grain storage, responsible for the salaries of the imperial palace and civil and military officials and the grain and rice of officials from various departments. At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the hundreds of palaces and the imperial palace were very streamlined, and the scale of the Yeting Palace was barely enough. With the increasing population, the number of bureaucratic teams and personnel in the palace increased, the Tai Chi Palace was relatively low, and the limitations of not being able to store too much food were exposed. Moreover, the Yeting Palace was close to the Tai Chi Palace. For the emperor, the complicated Taicang was not safe, so a new site was chosen in the northwest of the imperial city to build a new Taicang, but the new Taicang had not been built yet, so the Yeting Palace Taicang had to continue to use it for no reason.
Taicang has a huge management organization, with more than 30 officials in charge. His safety is unified by the imperial guards. Taicang and the arsenal are generally important, so there are many guards. There are about 500 imperial guards here now. This army is not as useless as Li Yuanji said, but is extremely powerful and is also an elite soldier selected from the entire ** team. However, his person in charge is not satisfactory. According to what Li Yuanji said, you should know that Taicang is not very watery, and a guy without a foundation cannot be the commander of this army. Therefore, Dou Tongguang, who is actually in charge of the army, is a member of the Dou clan of the emperor Li Yuan’s wife, the Dou clan. This person has only made some military achievements on the battlefield and is not very good at martial arts.
As the saying goes: July is fire. This day is the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty (July 2, 626 AD). The sun is dazzling and the weather is too hot. Dou Tongguang is fat and not heat-resistant. He leans on the soft couch and asks a soldier to fan the wind behind him. He is still sweating like rain and is dizzy and sleepy. Suddenly, he hears shouts from outside, which are separated by many halls and walls. He doesn’t hear clearly, which scares Dou Tongguang. He feels uneasy and seems to have something to do. Today is too strange. The emperor’s eunuch came to spread the word. There are not many things today, and he doesn’t have to worry about anything. He is a little uneasy.
Li Yuanji forced him to inform him that Li Shimin had killed the lord and had already run away from the palace. This matter was too big. These people could not bear to resist and gave up their public office. They did not inform him as Li Yuanji thought.
