Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 520 Rebellion ([-])
Hou Junji held the hilt of the horizontal saber at his waist and stood at the entrance to the mountain with his head held high, looking at the apricot-yellow canopy on the main hall from a distance, his eyes uncertain.

It stands to reason that the guard next to the emperor today will be his camp of Zuowei, but the emperor temporarily ordered him to lead his subordinates to guard the intersection of the mountain, which made Hou Junji feel a little bad.But after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like the emperor has noticed any troubles. If he suspects that he is Hou Junji, why should he order him to guard this throat, wouldn't it be better to just withdraw him?
The emperor has always been wise and wise, making Hou Junji's heart pass through a haze.

But the matter has come to this point, the arrow is in the air, and there is no way out!
Hou Junji looked up at the sky, silently estimating the time in his heart, waiting for a thunderous strike...

"Master, look!" The confidant beside him suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Hou Junji looked in the direction of his finger. On the viewing platform on the west side, someone suddenly waved a red flag. It looked like a certain excited audience was cheering on the craftsmen who were about to conduct a flight test.

Hou Junji clenched the handle of the knife tightly and said to a confidant, "You stay here, and I will stare at Fang Jun later. No matter where that kid is, lead someone to kill him!"

For Fang Jun, Hou Junji has long been unable to bear it, and his hatred is as deep as the sea!
The two most talented juniors of the Hou family died at the hands of this man, and Hou Junji hated them to the core.If this person can't be slaughtered, his Hou Junji's prestige, which has been severely hit, will be difficult to rise again!

The confidant general ordered: "Don't worry, Commander, the last general will not let his second room see the sun tomorrow morning!"

Hou Junji nodded, took a deep breath, and led more than twenty personal guards to the camp of Zuo Wuwei on the west side.

As a confidant of His Majesty Li Er, no one knows the combat effectiveness of the "Hundred Horses" better than Hou Junji.It is wishful thinking to launch a raid to capture or even kill the emperor under the heavy guards of the "Hundred Horsemen"!

Hou Junji also thought about launching a surprise attack when he was in front of His Majesty Li Er, but he never dared to make this decision.He is brave and true, but it does not mean that he is not afraid of death.Isn't everything you do now to become the first powerful minister of the Tang Dynasty who is under one person and more than [-] people, and control the name of the dynasty and go down in history?
What's the point of all this if you're dead?

The only way to hold the emperor down is to defeat Zuo Wuwei and kill Cheng Yaojin, so that his army of Zuowei can control the entire mountain top, and then cooperate with the Shenji Battalion, and make the elite "hundred horses". All beheaded!

Only then can the emperor be in his hands, forcing him to abdicate and the prince...

*****
Fang Jun was sitting beside His Majesty Li Er, feeling uneasy and uneasy.

He is very anxious now, his nerves are tense, and everyone around him looks like he will draw a knife and rush towards the emperor at any time...

It's not that his psychological quality is not good, but that he has lived for two lifetimes and has never experienced a rebellion incident that might happen right under his nose!Although the scale of the Turkic rebellion in Lishan Palace was not small, it was initiated in a hurry, and Fang Jun was involved in it in a confused way, and he had no intuitive feeling.

But this time is different!
The suffocating feeling of the impending storm made Fang Jun almost out of breath!
Although he is familiar with history and knows that His Majesty Li Er will be safe and sound, but who knows who rebelled and how many people there are. His Majesty Li Er may be fine, but will the traitor easily kill himself?
The viewing platform is very simple. It is built with thick trees that are short in front and high in the back, but they are very strong.

His Majesty Li Er sat in the seat specially built for him, glanced at Fang Jun, who was sitting a step behind him, and said displeasedly: "Where is the courage to fight against the Turkic Wolf Rider in the Western Regions? I remember that memorial. What is written on it is that you are not chaotic in the face of danger, and you will not change your face in the face of the charge of the Turkic wolf rider, is it possible that you are deceiving me?"

Fang Jun smiled bitterly, looked around, except Li Junxian and Wang De, the others were far away, and said, "This is not the same! At that time, the enemy was on the opposite side, face-to-face with gongs and drums. But now that Wei Chen has been swept away by His Majesty, who knows which one is the one with ulterior motives? The one who is the closest will draw his sword and face each other in the next moment..."

Li Junxian glared angrily.

The closest people are Fang Jun, Li Junxian and the old eunuch Wang De...

His Majesty Li Er didn't care, and pointed to the center of the venue: "It's started!"

Fang Jun then calmed down and looked into the field.

Liu Laoshi led a group of craftsmen and started to operate the hot air balloon according to the established procedures.

The iron furnace in the hanging basket ignited a stream of air with oxygen in it and poured into the furnace.

Waiting for the furnace temperature to gradually rise, Liu honestly in the hanging basket pulled the bellows with one hand and the rope around him with the other hand.

The shriveled sphere was inflated by the heat, which had already caused a burst of cheers from the audience.

But what shocked them even more came right after!

A quarter of an hour later, under the stunned gazes of everyone, the sphere swayed gently as if it was being lifted up invisibly by a hand and slowly floated upwards, and then rose higher and higher...

The scene was quiet at first, and everyone stared at the incredible scene in front of them, watching the craftsman in the hanging basket being carried by the hot air balloon. In the eyes of all the people, he slowly but firmly flew to the sky. !

Then, the entire top of the mountain seemed to be detonated, and there was a wave of cheers!

Many people were stunned by the miracle in front of them. When they recovered, they knelt down and kowtowed and prayed to the sky!

His Majesty Li Er was also a little unbelievable. Although he had already received the secret report of the success of the hot air balloon test, the scene that subverted all worldviews in front of his eyes made the emperor very passionate!
This is a miraculous scene, which shows that under the rule of Li Shimin, the Tang Empire has been favored and recognized by the gods, and such an unparalleled miracle will happen!
This is the same as the "auspicious" in the past dynasties, but the white deer, unicorns, and rice with nine ears of rice that were used as "auspicious" in the past... Compared with the super kongming lantern in front of me, they are all slag. Scum!
His Majesty Li Er was very excited. He was about to praise Fang Jun, and his expression suddenly condensed.

I saw that on the viewing platform on the west side, the merchants and people who were excitedly calling suddenly caused a riot, and then the riot spread to the entire west side of the grandstand like a hurricane swept through the rice fields!
Thousands of people are like a pot of boiling water, which is completely boiled!

At the same time, riots broke out in various stands, and the entire mountain top was filled with screams and confusion, and it was almost a mess in the blink of an eye!
Fang Jun stared dumbfounded at everything in front of him, is it finally here?
Before he could react, he felt the ground under his feet tremble suddenly, an earth-shattering roar rang in his ears, and the entire viewing platform collapsed in an instant.

Fang Jun was so frightened by the burning smell he could smell on his nose!

What a gunpowder explosion!
Could it be that Changsun Chong was going to rebel?

Almost at the moment when the explosion sounded, Li Junxian, who was beside him, threw himself on the emperor and shouted: "Guard!" , surrounded His Majesty Li Er to death, and another team pulled out a horizontal knife, pushed aside the wreckage of the wooden sticks around them, cleared a road, and protected His Majesty Li Er to rush down the intersection of the mountain.

Fang Jun was separated by the "hundred cavalry". He only felt that the smoke and dust in front of him were filled with dust and the visibility was only a few meters. He couldn't see the situation of His Majesty Li Er, so he had to shout: "Xi Jun buy! Xi Jun buy!"

Xi Junmai was leading the guards in Zhuangzi, who were separated by "hundred cavalry" more than ten meters away. Hearing Fang Jun's call, he quickly cleaned up the debris around him and approached Fang Jun.

When Xi Junmai and the others approached, Fang Jun led the team of family generals to chase after His Majesty Li Er and ran out of the collapsed auditorium, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief!
The entire top of the mountain has long since turned into a pot of porridge!
