Volume 3 Taihang Mountain Chapter 805 Xuanwu Gate

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The palace of Li Tang was called Da Nei, which was the Daxing Palace originally built by the former Sui Dynasty.

    After Li Yuan took over, it was renamed Taiji Palace, and the common people and Chang'an officials also called it Beijing University.

    There are ten gates on all four sides of the Tai Chi Palace wall.  There are five gates in the south, the middle one is Chengtian Gate.  One door to the east.  Two doors to the west.

    There are two gates in the north, the Xuanwu Gate in the middle and slightly to the west, and the Anli Gate in the east.  Since Taiji Palace is located at the northernmost end of Chang'an City, the north wall of the palace city is the outer wall of Chang'an City.

    Because the Xuanwu Gate and Anli Gate in the north are also the north gate of Chang'an City. They are located on the remaining slope of Longshouyuan and the terrain is relatively high. From the Xuanwu Gate, you can overlook the entire Taiji Palace.

    Therefore, occupying the Xuanwu Gate is like occupying the Tai Chi Palace.  The defense of Xuanwu Gate and Anli Gate is the top priority in the protection of the palace.

    Li Yuan¡¯s chariot returned to Chang¡¯an from Lishan Hot Spring Palace.  The imperial driver and his party did not return to Chang'an, but entered the palace directly through the West Inner Garden and Xuanwu Gate.  First enter the sleeping hall, then go to the Taiji Hall to convene the ministers to discuss matters.

    The five thousand men and horses accompanying them were led by Jing Junhong, the general of the Beiya Imperial Army, and Lu Shiheng.

    Although he did not take special precautions, Li Tang made the most comprehensive arrangements for the emperor's travels. For example, Xineiyuan is where Li Yuan's most trusted Beiya Imperial Army resides. This army followed him when he raised troops from Taiyuan.  The Yuancong Forbidden Army is among Li Tang's most loyal and most effective troops.

    The Beiya Imperial Guards were stationed near Xuanwu Gate. After arriving at Daxing Palace and it was safe, Li Yuan mobilized the Nan Ya Imperial Guards stationed in the south of the palace. This force was the elite selected from the Twelve Guards.  Two forbidden armies, one in the south and one in the north, ensured Li Yuan's absolute safety.

    ??????????????? However, not all the Nanya Imperial Guards were outside the palace, the Nanya Imperial Guards were also responsible for guarding the various palace gates.  The people who served as palace guards were the left and right Qianniu Guards from the Nanya Forbidden Army.

    ??And those stationed at Xuanwu Gate today are from the Nanya Forbidden Army.  Chang He was appointed as the Zhonglang General of Zuotun Guard.  Chang He was originally from the Wagang Army, and accompanied Li Mi to defeat Zhang Xutuo.  There are Beiya Imperial Guards stationed near Xuanwu Gate.  The guard of Xuanwu Gate is the Nanya Forbidden Army, and the two sides supervise each other to ensure that Xuanwu Gate is foolproof.

    Li Yuan had a brief understanding of these things and didn't really care. In his mind, how to deal with the conflict between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince was the big deal, not his own safety on the way back to Tai Chi Palace.  Since the news of Yang Wenqian's incident, the prince and the king of Qin in the capital have criticized each other, and memorials of impeachment of each other have been flying like snow flakes.

    The prince's party criticized the King of Qin for his self-respect in raising scholars.  The plot is evil, and this time he follows Yang Wenqian's example and bribes the East Palace guards to frame the prince.

    Supporting the prince's faction were Qi King Li Yuanji and Li Yuan's harem concubines who took turns interceding on behalf of Li Jiancheng. The foreign ministers of the court also included Pei Ji, and Feng Deyi tried every means to rescue Li Jiancheng.  Many civil servants in the DPRK and China, including Pei Ji, spoke for Li Jiancheng.

    Li Yuan understood why Li Jiancheng had so many people supporting him. He had been the prince for many years and had the power to supervise the country.  What's more, although this son has some small thoughts, he is still a decent person and will not easily use his power to suppress others.

    Therefore, the civil officials still hope that Li Jiancheng will inherit the throne.

    And most of the memorials attacking Li Jiancheng were clearly labeled as members of the King of Qin's party in Tiance Mansion.  Needless to say, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

    They all advised Li Yuan to take advantage of Yang Wenqian's rebellion to depose the crown prince.  The king of Qin was made the crown prince.  Even Taishi ordered Fu Yi to use today's celestial phenomena to offer prophecies to Li Yuan.  It is said that when Taibai sees the division of Qin, the king of Qin should rule the world.

    Even Li Shimin himself came forward to criticize the prince for seducing the harem.  He was not on good terms with his brothers and persecuted himself many times.

    Li Yuan kept all these memorials, and through the intelligence network in his hand, he also learned a lot of clues.

    First of all, Wang Hao, who held the position of Chief Minister in the East Palace, was taken to Dali Temple half a month ago. Under torture, he learned that he had been bribed by the King of Qin and became the King of Qin's spy in the East Palace. He sent countless news about the East Palace to the King of Qin.

    In addition, according to the other party¡¯s confession, King Qin¡¯s informants in the East Palace were far more than just him.

    After Yang Wen's defeat, Wei Ting and the prince's minister Xu Shimo persuaded Li Jiancheng to occupy the capital and launch an army.  Zhao Hongzhi, the chief secretary of Zhan's affairs, advised him to remove the crown prince's driving uniform, exclude his entourage, and go to his own place to admit his guilt.

    In the end, Qiao Gongshan unexpectedly surrendered, causing Li Jiancheng to choose the latter approach.

    Li Yuan is a discerning person and saw that someone was clearly setting up a trap for Li Jiancheng to jump inside.

    Who is Wei Ting? As a prominent family in the Guanlong clan, the Wei family has actually taken refuge with Li Shimin.

    Li Shimin had already married two women from the Wei family as concubines. Changan knew this news, but Li Jiancheng still trusted Wei Ting so much.

    Li Yuan knew the temperament of his two sons. From Li JianchengJudging from the situation, and the embarrassing appearance when entering the Hot Spring Palace, Li Yuan judged that it was absolutely impossible for Li Jiancheng to rebel.

    So someone definitely framed him for this matter. As for who it was, Li Yuan didn't want to think about it. He would rather blame Yang Wenqian than think about it.

    Regarding Yang Wenqian, the governor of Qingzhou who was at the forefront of this matter, Li Yuan had sent General Qian Jiulong of Zuowuwei and Yang Shidao, the governor of Lingzhou, to lead two armies to approach Yang Wenqian.

    If Yang Wenqian understands the situation, he will surrender; if he does not, he will only be destroyed.

    After dealing with these foreign affairs, he was exhausted mentally and physically. This time he returned to Taiji Palace and summoned Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, Dou Dan, Yan Shigu and others, in order to clarify the matter in front of the ministers and warn him at the same time.  King Qin, you can only take what I give you. You can't take what I don't give you, and you can't even think about it. On the other hand, to appease the prince, he must have suffered from being pressed so hard by King Qin in the past few years.

    Li Yuan thought to himself that since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the most powerful people in the world have formulated the rules and demarcated the longitude and latitude.  The order of elders and younger ones is the rule, and this cannot be messed up. Even if the King of Qin is ten times more outstanding than the prince, he cannot change this rule. This is an iron law.

    ¡°If everyone has the strength and wants to re-establish the rules, then the world will not be in chaos.  In the previous dynasty, Yang Guang thought he was ten times smarter than Yang Yong, but so what, the Great Sui Dynasty was ruined by his cleverness.

    With Li Yuan thinking like this, his carriage and horses had already entered Xiyuan. Under the protection of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army, his carriage drove slowly to Xuanwu Gate.

    The palace gate was already wide open, waiting for the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and his entourage.

    ???????????? The emperor is driving with honor, and the tiger soldiers are leading the way. A general on the side of the road loudly announces: "The last general of the Zuo Tun Guards, the middle man, Chang He, pays homage to the emperor!"  Long live my emperor!  ¡®

    Li Yuan knew the name Chang He, but he was just an insignificant person. There were ten gates in Taiji Palace, and each gate was guarded by a guard. It was rare for Li Yuan to have heard the name.

    So the name Chang He just passed by Li Yuan's ears.
