Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4354 Three Thousand Flowers
When the Hall of Wude was close at hand, victory seemed to be within easy reach. An ambush suddenly burst out from the side door between the East Palace and the Hall of Wude and rushed into the flank of the rebels like wolves and tigers. Victory is just around the corner. The morale is boosted, and they are about to rush into the Hall of Wude to make contributions. When they are suddenly attacked, the army panics. Li Junxian, who retreats to the back door of the Hall of Wude, takes the opportunity to organize a counterattack, and the rebel army is in chaos for a while.

The number of ambush soldiers who fought out from the Eastern Palace was about three thousand, with colorful feathers on their heads, and Ge Ma clothes with narrow sleeves and short swings. Among them, there were occasional men in leather armor. At that time, the formation was not strict, but all of its soldiers were brave and fierce, and they killed the rebels to pieces.

Since Li Daozong had already guessed that His Majesty must be prepared, he did not panic in the face of this sudden surprise attack, and calmly ordered: "Pass down the order, organize the defense on the spot based on the army, gradually move closer to each other, concentrate our forces to stabilize the position, The driver counterattacked."

"Here!"

The captain went to deliver the order.

Yu Wenshi looked at Li Daozong who was calm and orderly, and admired him in his heart. Although Li Xiaogong was "the No. 1 handsome man in the clan", but more because of his seniority and age, he was trusted by the emperor Gaozu back then, so he entrusted him with important tasks. Later, His Majesty Li Er also highly respected him, which made Li Xiaogong's achievements and reputation early. If Li Daozong was a few years older and entered the army earlier, his achievements may not be much worse than Li Xiaogong's.

The Guanlongmen faction started as an army, but at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a lot of fighting led to the withering of talents. The most lacking is this kind of handsome talent who can plan strategies and stay calm in times of crisis.

Otherwise, how could it have come to this day?

"These ambush soldiers are dressed in strange clothes and have strange accents. I don't know who they belong to?" Yuwen Shiji looked at the unusually brave ambush soldiers and was a little worried. Although these ambush soldiers were not many in number and their battle formations were rough and rough, they were extremely brave individuals. The sudden attack on the top threw Li Daozong's army into chaos.

But searching for the memories in my mind, I have never seen or heard of such a troop...

Li Daozong watched the troops under his command gradually gather in one place in units of five in accordance with his military orders, and slowly stabilized their positions. The feathers on the top of their heads trembled and swayed during the ambush jumping and fighting, which was very eye-catching. He said calmly: "It was raised by the royal family of Silla." The Hwarang Army', all of them are the royal guards of the Silla King Hou Gongqing, who were killed by Fang Jun, and the rest disappeared after the Queen of Silla returned. I thought it was a long time ago The smoke disappeared, but it unexpectedly appeared here."

Yu Wenshi and Huan Ran: "It should be that Fang Jun secretly organized them to ambush in the East Palace in advance, right?"

There is only a wall between the East Palace and Taiji Palace, and the only gateway connecting the two palaces is on the east side of the Wude Palace, so the Wude Palace is one of the most heavily guarded palaces in the palace. After all, the emperor must guard against the prince's entry. In the palace, the act of murdering the king and conspiring against the king...

And His Majesty hid three thousand "Hwarangs" here in advance, but there was no news from the outside world, which shows that His Majesty has already made sufficient preparations.

Li Daozong snorted: "Except for that guy who thinks he's smart, who else can be? The Queen of Silla is already under his control. Since Silla has no hope of restoring the country, these remnants of Silla will naturally be taken into his hands, but these' Hwarang is brave if he is brave, but he is not familiar with fighting in battle, so it is difficult to become a great weapon."

Having said that, the three thousand "Hwarangs" were a fresh force after all, and they suddenly launched a direct line into the rear of the rebels in an ambush, causing chaos in the rebels' formation. Although they gradually stabilized their positions under Li Daozong's command, they also suffered a lot. Loss.

The many halls, pavilions, and gardens on the north side of Wude Hall became the battlefield for the two sides to fight repeatedly.

Jin Famin, who was in charge of leading the "Hwarang", took the lead and rushed back and forth in the rebel formation. His handsome face was stained with a few drops of blood, and he was very brave. Suddenly, a cold arrow shot from nowhere pierced his shoulder blade, causing him to groan in pain With a sound, his figure staggered, and more than a dozen rebels nearby rushed forward when they saw this.

Jin Famin put the saber in his left hand, gritted his teeth and tried his best to block it. Suddenly, a strong force came from behind him, and he retreated several steps backwards. The tips of several steel knives fell in front of him. Come out, he is not afraid of death, and he has already had the will to die today, but he must not die here in vain.

The burden of revitalizing Silla is as heavy as Mount Tai on the shoulders, no matter what, we must go there...

He took a breath, and looked back, it was Li Junxian who came from behind and pulled him back by the belt of his restraint armor, otherwise he would have been cut to pieces by the rebels at this moment.

"Thank you, General, for your help!"

"You don't have to thank me. If you sacrificed your life for His Majesty and bravely killed the thief, I should save you."

Li Junxian raised his hand to pat Jin Famin's shoulder, and saw a wolf-toothed arrow feather embedded in his shoulder blade. Every time he swayed, the opponent's face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. Worried: "I'm here, you go and treat the wound quickly."

Jin Famin endured the severe pain: "So please!"

Li Junxian stood up with the knife in hand: "Go."

Then Jin Famin withdrew from the battle formation with the support of several trilogy, and rested on the spot next to a hall in the north of Wude Hall. One trilogy took out the golden sore medicine, untied his armor, cut off the shaft of the arrow first, and then used Huozhezi roasted the knife, cut open the arrow wound, took out the arrow cluster embedded in the bone, disposed of it properly, applied golden sore medicine externally, and carefully bandaged it.

After finishing the disposal, Jin Famin raised his eyes to look at one of the parts, that part understood, looked left and right, walked forward dozens of steps along the base of the wall, and stopped in front of a small door. Stretching out their heads, the two looked at each other, without speaking, the servant backed away.

The servants hurried all the way through the door, and came to the vicinity of the imperial study on the west side of the Wude Hall, which was already close to the main hall of the Wude Hall, surrounded by tight guards, like a forest of knives and guns, and the defense was watertight, not even a fly could fly in.

The servant just stood at the door, and the other servant came to the front, the two whispered something, and the other servant walked around the imperial study room under the watchful eyes of the guards, and came to Wude. The main hall of the hall is entered from the back door.

The waiter walked lightly all the way, and when he saw someone making tea and sending it to the main hall in the back hall, he took the initiative to join in.

……

In the main hall, Li Chengqian sat in the middle, civil and military officials lined up on both sides. The atmosphere was very serious. After all, the rebels had successively captured Ganludian and the North Gate of Wude, which were only separated by a wall. They might break into the door in the next moment. How could they not be nervous? ?

It is said that "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face", but it is actually a matter of life and death, how many people can take it lightly?
However, even Li Ji was helpless at this moment. The Six Commanders of the East Palace had been standing still in Li Jing's hands. He didn't know what his intentions were. , the garrisons and clans all over the Guanzhong have unclear positions and attitudes. Looking around, none of the millions of troops in the empire can support the Taiji Palace nearby... they can only wait here to show that they will advance and retreat with His Majesty, live and die together.

Li Chengqian was in a pretty good mood. First, he had a backer, so the situation would not be in dire straits, and at this time, there were still people who could accompany him to sit here and watch success or failure, in times of crisis. He was quite qualified as an emperor.

Thinking back when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty died in Jiangdu, there was no loyal courtier by his side. It was a pity for the emperor to do that...

Several servants came out of the back hall with trays in their hands, and put the tea and some pastries on the table in front of the ministers. At this moment, the sound of killing outside the hall was loud and blood was flowing, and the tea and snacks in the hall were treated calmly. There is quite a bit of Wei and Jin legacy between them.

A servant knelt beside Li Chengqian, placed tea and snacks on the imperial case, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Jin Famin led the 'Hwarang' to fight the rebels in a bloody battle, causing heavy casualties. It shot through the shoulder blade and is currently being treated outside the palace."

Li Chengqian paused for a moment while holding the teacup, and looked at the waiter with murderous eyes.

Although the servant spoke in a low voice, the hall was quiet at the moment, and his voice was still heard by the ministers...

Li Ji, who was sitting under Li Chengqian, frowned and glanced at the servant, then turned to Wang De, who was standing behind Li Chengqian, and said, "Your man, take him down and be disciplined. Is there any room for eunuchs to speak in the hall?"

Wang De's face was flushed, and he bent down and said, "It's the servant who is incapable of training, and deserves death."

Then he stared at the servant, gritted his teeth and said, "Come with me."

Once again apologizing, he turned and went back to the back hall. The servant tremblingly followed him step by step with his head down...

Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said to the guards in the hall: "Decree, Xuan Jin Famin enters the hall."

Li Ji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."

He wanted to stop him, but Li Chengqian waved his hand and did not let him speak. He said softly, "Although Jin Famin belongs to the royal family of Silla, but now Silla is dead, and its queen leads the whole country and subjects to be attached to him, so he is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Now my son How can I be indifferent to the people leading the people to resist the rebel army and being wounded several times? Naturally, I should call in and try my best."

Now it is necessary for the army loyal to the emperor to fight to the death, and we must not chill the hearts of the people...

Li Ji hesitated to speak.

The servant's behavior just now was very strange. How could a mere servant dare to speak when the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers?Not to mention him, even if Wang Dedu, the head of internal affairs, stayed on the sidelines obediently, he might be misunderstood as "interfering in government affairs" and be severely punished if he coughed.

And it was his words that forced the emperor to summon Jin Famin, which was quite strange...

But the emperor had already said so, so naturally he couldn't stop it.

The imperial guard turned and went out, and brought in Jin Famin, who had untied his armor and exposed the wound on his shoulder blade.

When Jin Famin entered the palace, he wanted to kneel down and salute, Li Chengqian said softly: "Aiqing is injured, so there is no need to be polite. I don't know if the injury is serious? Come here, call the imperial doctor to come and give Aiqing a good diagnosis and treatment, and deal with the injury properly. .”

Jin Famin burst into tears: "I am a foreigner, and I can't repay His Majesty's care. I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Talking in his mouth, he took two steps forward and knelt down on the ground.

Li Chengqian comforted: "Silla has already been attached to the Tang Dynasty, and Aiqing is naturally a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. The land of Silla is also governed by my brother. For generations, it is within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. How can we transform the people outside the territory?" Say it?"

Jin Famin said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, it's my minister's slip of the tongue..."

At this time, the servant came to the hall with an imperial doctor. Jin Famin got up, and when the imperial doctor came forward to check the wound on his shoulder blade, he suddenly pulled out a gleaming dagger from his arms, and rushed towards Li Chengqian who was behind the imperial case. , with a ferocious face and a murderous look!
The officials in the palace might as well have such a drastic change, and they were shocked for a while.
