Yinshi card.

It is the time of dawn when the rooster crows.

If it's summer or autumn, it's already dawn. But it is a cold early spring, and at five o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark.

The reason why Mu Tingxue chose this time to launch a palace coup was because he discussed it with a group of his subordinates and confidants. At this moment, it is the time when the guards of the Jinwu Guards are at their most relaxed. The night shift guards have been patrolling all night, and they are very sleepy. They will take over the shift in another hour. At this moment, the civil and military officials have not yet gone to the palace or various yamen. At this moment, Emperor Xie Xuanchen was still sleeping soundly in Taiji Palace and did not wake up.

My uncle Yan Xi also supported this time.

Therefore, yesterday at noon and afternoon, when Xie Xuanchen issued a sentence to the Qin family and ordered all members of the Cui family and the Yan family to be exiled, everyone temporarily tolerated it in order to cooperate with the progress of the plan.

The relatives are very angry and desperate in their hearts.

But none of the relatives asked the eldest princess to take action in advance!

In the afternoon, the palace is the most heavily guarded, and all the Imperial Guards are in high spirits. If the eldest princess's 30,000 soldiers scattered among the people were to act on a large scale, they would probably have been discovered and arrested by the imperial army patrolling the imperial city on the streets of Yundu before they reached the first Huangji Gate.

The Forbidden Army is divided into the central leading army and the outer protecting army.

The central army is dedicated to guarding the palace, numbering 60,000.

The Outer Guards are specialized in guarding the imperial city area outside the palace, including the five city gates of Yundu, numbering 40,000.

In other words, if Mu Tingxue launches an attack on the palace before dawn, the 30,000 coup troops under Mu Tingxue will directly face only 60,000 leading troops!

As long as she moves fast enough and makes a quick victory, the palace guards are already in a panic before the guards outside even notice what's happening!

After the Huangji Gate was breached.

The sound of Balista forcing open the palace door will definitely attract the attention of the palace.

Mu Tingxue did not stop for even a second, and immediately led the army and rushed towards Simamen!

She was sitting on the chariot, her expression extremely serious, and her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Her soldiers strode quickly along the dark palace road.

tonight.

He was not the guardian of Simamen, but General Jingyang of Zuo Jinwu Guard was on night shift.

However, he treated the Youjinwu guard general who was supposed to be on duty at night to a meal of fine wine and meat, and gave him three hundred taels of silver.

The general Youjin Wuwei Zhonglang, who was a descendant of the Lijia clan, did not doubt Jingyang at all, thinking that he was really going back to his hometown to celebrate his father's fiftieth birthday tomorrow day, and happily accepted the three hundred taels of silver. Bribe and agree to change shifts with him.

Jingyang's hometown is a desolate small village outside Yundu City.

My father died a long time ago.

This is obviously a lie.

Ever since the eldest princess recommended him and was promoted to the third-level general guarding Simamen, Jingyang knew that it was time for him, the thorn in the Forbidden Army, to play a role for his savior!

"This thief is so cold."

A Jinwu Guard officer who was guarding Sima Gate sneezed three times in a row, and his nose was filled with runny nose.

"Li Juncao, I've warmed up a jar of hot wine here. Do you want to have a drink?"

Jingyang enthusiastically initiated the invitation.

Lord Li, the sixth-rank military officer who was guarding Sima Gate together, did not doubt him and happily agreed: "Okay, Lord Jing is so polite."

Many middle and lower-level officers in the Forbidden Army like to make friends with Jingyang.

Because Jingyang is very "generous" and has no airs, if anyone is short of money and encounters some difficulties and asks Jingyang to borrow money, he will definitely give it to him. And not only will I lend you a loan, I will also treat you to a meal of fine wine and meat. Men in the army love wine, and what Jingyang brought out was always extremely fragrant and high-concentration liquor, which made everyone drink it very happily. As time went by, Jingyang's reputation among the Forbidden Army improved, and everyone said that he was upright.

In addition, Jingyang was originally a close subordinate of Xie Yi, the king of Qinling, and Xie Yi was the son-in-law of Li Fan. Therefore, these soldiers who left the party did not doubt his position and identity at all and got along with him.

But actually.

Bribing the generals of the imperial army and lending money to middle and lower-level officers and soldiers were all sponsored by the eldest princess.

Not to mention those high-concentration liquors were originally invented by the eldest princess and brewed by Cui's Youzhou Winery. Every month, the eldest princess would order someone to send a hundred jars to Jingyang, asking him to look up and down himself.

After Jingyang took over Simamen, he was still the same.

He invited two thousand soldiers guarding Simamen to drink and eat meat. Not only did he lend money to middle- and lower-level officers, but he also lent money to ordinary imperial soldiers, and he never even asked for repayment.

The superior officer's surname is indeed Li.

But most of the lowest-ranking Forbidden Army soldiers and even lower-level officers are not named Li. They just regard serving as soldiers to defend the imperial city as a "job" that can get paid.

"Good wine!"

The sergeant surnamed Li drank three large bowls of warm wine and ate half a bowl of cooked beef, and his body warmed up. "Master Jing is so righteous. I have never seen such a generous person like you." And your boss. You don’t know that almost all the Forbidden Army soldiers now want to break away from the relationship and transfer to our Simamen."

What could be more comfortable than serving as a soldier under Master Jing?

The other senior officers of the Forbidden Army are basically the wandering children of aristocratic families. They all have eyes on the top of their heads, and no one looks down on them. The lower-level soldiers were hardly treated as human beings, and beatings were a common occurrence.

"Master Li, I'm so impressed. Eat two more bowls."

Jingyang picked up the wine cup and toasted two more glasses.

Na Lijuncao didn't hesitate and gulped down the food. His eyes were filled with darkness, and he fell over on the table like a dead pig.

There is Mongolian sweat medicine in this drink.

After killing his colleagues, Simamen was left with only one officer in Jingyang.

"General Jing, it's bad. A lot of fully armed soldiers came down from Simamen. They are not in the uniforms of the Forbidden Army. They look like rebels!" A Forbidden Army came over anxiously to report, "What should I do? Do you want to go quickly? Inform the leader of the Forbidden Army, General Zuojin Wuwei, Li Yuan?"

"No need."

Jingyang stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, and strode to Sima's door, "Open the door."

"what?"

The soldier was stunned, his eyes were bigger than bells, and he had an expression that said, "Fuck you."

"Today, the Holy One is deceived by treacherous ministers. The treacherous ministers are in power, taking bribes, perverting the law, and harming the loyal! How can the Xie family's society and all living beings fall into the hands of the despicable and treacherous ministers? Send this general's order! Open the Sima Gate, welcome the eldest princess into the palace, and join in the righteous deeds. !”
