Chapter 251: Broken City

Standing on the tower of Longmen Palace Palace City, you can look at the fire dragons everywhere in the city from afar, Di Renjie tried hard to calm himself down.

He narrowed his eyes, looked at the direction of Zetian Gate in Luoyang Palace, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Di Renjie looked at Li Xian and comforted him: "Your Highness, the King of Linzi is confused, so there is no need to worry about it."

Li Xian was so scared that he was trembling. The eunuch beside him thought he was suffering from the cold, so he hurriedly handed him a cloak.

Li Xian wrapped her cloak and said, "How can I see it?"

Di Renjie said, "They went to Luoyang Palace." He exclaimed and continued, "Your Majesty has long been afraid of the King of Linzi. In my foolish opinion, Your Majesty is just a guide but not to be released. Your Majesty must be prepared for this time. It would be fine if the King of Linzi was not good for His Highness Luling, but he was crazy and wanted to take the palace straight. His heart... is too big. I think the defense in the palace is very strict, and the rebels will be unable to capture it urgently. As long as they persist until dawn, the army and horses that reacted everywhere will start to encircle and annihilate the bandit army. Although the twenty guards in Luoyang also have imperial guards who have rebelled, the Wu family has also bribed many people, and there are also many Tiance troops who are loyal to His Highness Luling and are loyal to His Majesty outside the city. When the dawn begins, it will be the time when the rebels are destroyed. Your Highness is at ease. As long as you guard this place, your Highness can rest assured."

Li Xian did not breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the flames with concern and said, "Why is Linzi King... so stupid..."

This sentence was like a sharp sword, which pierced directly into Di Renjie's heart. Perhaps the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Di Renjie couldn't help but have an idea in his heart. Yes... Why is the King of Linzi so stupid...

When the King of Linzi was young, he would certainly be impulsive and commit a military taboo, but don’t forget it. If the King of Linzi was really just a momentary impulse, would the people behind him indulge him insult him to make trouble? Or should he say yes, would he be with him?

What's the problem...what exactly is it?

The cold wind blew, and there were already burning clouds in the sky, and all of this was strange.

“Look…”

Someone screamed: "The chaotic army has arrived at Zetian Gate."

Zetianmen...

Sure enough, when Di Renjie and Li Xian raised their eyes to look over, they found that countless rebels gathered into fire dragons with torches in their hands began to gather under Zetian's gate from all directions.

Di Renjie couldn't help but say, "Although the Jinwu General Wu Yizong...is not a famous general, the palace city has strict defense. I think it will be no problem to delay the rebels."

But what happened next was incredible. The fire dragon... actually passed through the Zetian Gate like a long snake...

Di Renjie was shocked. Li Xian grabbed Di Renjie's sleeve and said aiqi: "Di Gong... What's wrong with this..."

In Longmen Palace, a strange atmosphere gradually spread. A question rose and fell into a deadly silence.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Ziwei Palace, Wu Zetian was lying on the incense bed, and her fingers were on the slight edge of the bed. The people in the hall were all so generous that they dared not show their vigor, and everyone was silent.

The noise from a distant place began to appear in the palace.

However, when the lights of Ziwei Palace were all raised and a team of guards arrived here, the palace finally settled down.

Of course, the most important thing is the emperor's calmness, which is enough to soothe all uneasy people's hearts.

Shangguan Wan'er was serving silently.

Wu Zetian said lightly: "When is it?"

"Three minutes in the middle of the hour."

Wu Zetian nodded and said lightly: "Oh... it's getting late, are the riots running to Zetian Gate?"

"yes."

Wu Zetian closed his eyes and said slowly: "The King of Linzi really has great ambitions. He abandoned the Longmen and took the Zetian Gate. Should I say he has a future or should he say he is too big?"

Wu Zetian smiled self-deprecatingly, and then continued, "You must be thinking, is this Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan? You are wrong. Zheng Bo can defeat Duan Yuyan, not because Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, but because his younger brother is greedy. Now... the same is true for this Li Longji. I think I treat him well and keep him in Luoyang, and have fulfilled my grandmother's responsibility to my grandson. But he is forming a clique for personal gain and conspiring with others. Now... it is getting more and more powerful. He wants to fight for what I don't give him. If he breaks into Luoyang Palace, what will happen if he does not fight for it.

Treat me? Where is the human heart... this is the human heart. I have seen through it. People outside say that I am cunning and vicious. How can they understand it? How can they know what I have encountered since Emperor Taizong and entered this palace? I want to live. Isn’t I qualified to live well? But I have to struggle and demand life. If I want to not be imprisoned in that temple or the green lamp in the cold palace, I have to be more heart-to-heart than others and be more cautious than others, because if one step is wrong, there will be mistakes everywhere. The price of the mistake is death!”

Wu Zetian had a peaceful and peaceful face. He and the shouts of killing outside the palace seemed to be two extremes. She slowly opened her eyes and sighed quietly: "Forget..."

After a sigh, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall.

"The saint...The King of Linzi has entered the palace..."

Shangguan Wan'er was startled and couldn't help but say, "What, how could she enter the palace? How could she enter the palace easily..."

The eunuch kowtowed like garlic: "Yes... I've entered the palace..."

This time, even if the Zhizhu was holding Wu Zetian, she couldn't help but suddenly rise up, her face was gloomy and terrifying: "Where is Emperor Wu Yizong?"

This is obviously very unusual, it is really unusual.

The defense of the palace city in Luoyang City has always been extremely strict, and the one who guards Luoyang Palace is Wu Yizong. How could the King of Linzi come in so easily?

"General Jinwu... Wu Yizong... surrendered!"

This news was a bolt from the blue, completely messing up the two women in the hall.

Reduced?

How could he surrender?

All of this...is obviously too incredible.

Wu Zetian's face became even more gloomy. She suddenly grinned and said, "Did you see it? This is the heart of people. This is what people's hearts are. Don't be afraid, just a group of thieves!"

She shouted violently and said, "Guard Ziwei Palace, all the nobles in the palace are invited here. Wan'er, stay by my side, your fate is at any time, the sky cannot fall, it's nothing more than a mere Wu Yizong."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Time passed by bit by bit, and every moment seemed as long as a lifetime. Wu Zetian sat high in the main hall of Ziwei Palace.

With a wave of her hand, five hundred imperial guards had surrounded the place.

These guards were all dead soldiers and kept in captivity in the palace, which was the last barrier in Wu Zetian's hands.

It was indeed unexpected that Wu Yizong's sudden "rebellion" was indeed unexpected, but Wu Zetian's face was still as calm as before. She waited quietly, and had changed into a crown suit and a crown. At this time, the whole body exuded the majesty of the emperor coming to the court.

After a long time, the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, and later, they suddenly stopped abruptly.

The palace suddenly became quiet, and Wu Zetian couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't seem to be worried about the rioters, because she knew in her heart that Li Longji would not rush to attack because he had to take something, and only after he got this thing could he succeed.

But... this thing is in Wu Zetian's hands, so Wu Zetian is not in a hurry.

She took a bite of princess tea, and the fragrance of tea overflowed on her nose. She took a deep breath and became more energetic.

really……

Not long after, another eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty... King Linzi...please ask for your Majesty to meet you."

Wu Zetian narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the desk, saying without hesitation: "He came to see me in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"

"Yes... I want to greet His Majesty."

Wu Zetian smiled, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and said, "Is that so? I'm fine. It's okay for him to see me, but... I only have one request, I want to see Emperor Wu Yizong first."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian's voice became even colder: "You go and pass the message. If you don't see Wu Yizong, then ask the King of Linzi to lead his troops into this place, of course...the premise is that he has such courage."

The eunuchs had already left in a hurry.

Outside Ziwei Palace, Li Longji, who had just tasted the joy of victory, was still so excited that his whole body was trembling. After everyone arrived at Ziwei Palace, they all stopped. They looked at the brightly lit Ziwei Palace, and everyone showed excitement.

When Wu Zetian's request was sent to Li Longji, Li Longji fell into a trance.

After hearing this, Wu Yizong hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this may be the trick of the witch. Your Highness must observe it. Now, why not kill in immediately, and don't believe it..."

Li Longji looked at the nervous Emperor Wu Yizong, but was extremely calm: "General Wu, if he kills in now, if there is a good thing, then it is the palace change. Emperor Taizong seized the Xuanwu Gate and must get the abdication of Emperor Gaozu, so the overall situation has been decided. Once Your Majesty has something to do, you and I will rebel. Now... King Luling is still here, and the people of the Wu family and the Li family are still there. This time, we are taking advantage of the situation, but how many soldiers and horses in Luoyang City are loyal to me? Only by receiving His Majesty's edict can the great achievement be considered as the result. General Wu, can I ask you to serve me again?". (To be continued...)
