Chapter 174 Jiucheng Palace Change
Jiucheng Palace is located in the hinterland of Guanzhong. It should have been very peaceful in the peaceful era without powerful foreign enemies invasion.
Therefore, this time, in addition to the usual palace guards dispatched, the sixteen guards only dispatched two Zhechong Mansions to protect the outside world and nearby roads, and did not have as much war as they did during the last tour of Luoyang.
As for the internal defense of Jiucheng Palace, it was presided over by the imperial guards, the emperor's most trusted palace guards, and the outside was the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion who were stationed in rotation.
Because the rules of the palace are not as strict as those in the palace, and the guards did not expect that anyone would sneak attack the emperor's palace in the hinterland of Guanzhong, so the defense was somewhat relaxed.
In the evening, Sun Wukai, the captain of Zhechong Mansion, led his troops to guard the gate of Jiucheng Palace in a decent manner, with his eyes wide open, but his thoughts drifted a little far away.
When the family sent a message, his parents wanted to tell him a marriage, Qin, the daughter of an official in Wannian County.
Sun Wukai knew that this woman had met at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. She looked pretty and reasonable. She said that she was not good at the needle girl. She seemed to know a few words.
It was probably because of the time when the elder sister saw what she was thinking and asked her parents to come and propose marriage. If she became a jade and became a good thing, it would naturally be beautiful.
Unfortunately, the Qin family thinks that they have some background and don’t look down on themselves as a big soldier. Even if they have the status of a captain, they don’t take it seriously.
It is said that the Qin family planned to grant their daughter a house to the county magistrate to fill in the house and climb high. It is not wrong to just judge the high and low, but... the county magistrate is almost fifty, and the Qin family is only sixteen, so this is not...
well!
Sun Wukai felt regret and depressed for himself, and even more sad about the future of Qin, but what can I do?
Unless your status is greatly improved, you will be promoted after making military achievements...
It is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, and there is no chance at all! Military merit has always been an important way for the children of Guanlong to advance, but since defeating the Turks in the east, the court has rarely had large-scale signs of the palace soldiers and has fewer opportunities to fight. Where can I have the opportunity to make contributions?
So, making a meritorious service and getting promoted is almost an unattainable dream.
As for the incident of the Emperor's Palace, it seems glorious, but in fact it is of no benefit. Everyone has to follow the steps. It is already auspicious to make no mistakes in such matters, and they still hope to make contributions?
dream!
One wakes up, the other one shatters. It’s a bit cruel to Sun Wukai. Could it be that he can only watch Qin marry the old county magistrate who is about to be bald?
Unwillingness and helplessness surged into my heart. Sun Wukai was in a heavy mood, but his eyes were a little confused.
Then, in the confused eyes, several rough men suddenly appeared, with broad faces and eyes, as if they were carrying swords...
What the hell? In the slightly lowered night, Sun Wukai's first reaction was that he had read it wrong and had hallucinations. However, when he looked closely, he was suddenly extremely terrified.
Sun Wukai was sure that this was the most terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life. At the gate of the Emperor's Palace, a group of Turkic people rushed over with swords.
"With an assassin, protect the car!" Sun Wukai shouted, the first half of the sound was still terrified, and the second half had become a surprise.
An opportunity. I was just sighing that there was no chance, but I didn’t expect it to come in a flash.
The Turks attacked the palace and wanted to assassinate. So, will the merit be great? At that time, the rewards will be rewarded according to merits and futures will always be better than those of a county magistrate who is in twilight?
Then who would the Qin family marry their daughter? Thinking of this, Sun Wukai was extremely excited and rushed up with a horizontal knife.
As for how many Turkic assassins were, in addition to the dozens of people in front of him, Sun Wukai didn't think much about it at all, just kept slashing and slashing.
You must never let the Turks step into the palace, otherwise it will be a death sentence. On this basis, kill as many enemies as possible and gain more military merits.
...
The Turkic people fought very hard. Although there were few people, they were suddenly defeated by elites.
So in the first moment, he actually gained the upper hand, almost unable to resist the guards of Zhechong Mansion.
Asina's association led the way behind, occasionally slashing one or two Tang soldiers with a knife, and more often they urged Turkic warriors to charge.
That's right, he turned against it!
Since being humiliated in Xiuchunlou, Pingkangfang that day, Asina's association has hated the Tang people very much, and then he has properly recorded all his sins on Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
He wanted to take revenge very strongly, but how could he take revenge on His Majesty Li Er? Ashina's association rate had been thinking for a long time and could only kill him.
As long as Li Shimin is killed, there will be chaos in the world. At that time, the Turks will take advantage of the situation to rise again and will no longer have to bear the anger, thus restoring their former status and glory.
Thinking of it, Ashina's association rate was immediately put into practice. From this point of view, he was not procrastinating and was a decisive person.
But his mind was not very good, so he was stunned when he was about to operate it. Fortunately, that night, a kind-hearted person helped him before he fell down, and then gave him an idea at the right time!
Taking advantage of the emperor's summer residence in Jiucheng Palace and his weak guards were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something. After saying this, Ashina's association rate was immediately enlightened and he repeatedly said that it was.
Then he decisively brought his confidant generals to come, with a total of more than 40 people. He seemed to have no idea whether this manpower could conquer Jiucheng Palace, so he came in a hurry, perhaps with the determination to succeed if he fails.
However, before coming, he hijacked a man named He Luoyu, the son of Tuli Khan with great vision.
Asina's association rate probably thought of the Han people's actions. His behavior must be famous in order to attract people to participate. His personal grudges cannot be taken over, but the Turks' restoration of the country is enough.
He Luofu is the son of Tuli Khan, and is also a legitimate heir of the Turkic. If he can accomplish anything, he will raise troops in his name to gather generals, and then hold them in his hand as a puppet and issue orders by himself.
Yes, it is what the Han people said to use the emperor to command the princes.
Perhaps there is another meaning, that is, after failure, Heluo will inevitably be questioned, which is considered a revenge for Tuli Khan's "unkindness".
Of course, the premise is that Asina's association rate has considered failure and the consequences of failure.
Has he really considered it?
Taking advantage of the evening night and the slackness of the guards, the Turks quietly sneaked over the outer defense line and then launched a raid on Jiucheng Palace.
The battle at the gate of the palace was a bit tragic. The Imperial Guard was attacked without any defense, and the assassin was not weak, so someone was soon injured.
But how long did dozens of imperial guards die under the assassin's sword? If Sun Wukai had not led the remaining imperial guards to block the resistance, the Turks would have rushed into Jiuzheng Palace.
