Chapter 2009 Hey!
There are three gates on the east wall of Chang'an City. The middle one is called Chunming Gate. Entering Chunming Gate can directly lead to the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace.
Go through the Suzaku Gate and head west to the west gate, the Jinguang Gate, and you will be out of Chang'an City.
At this moment, Chunming Gate had been closed, and the city walls were filled with guards on high alert. Their expressions were solemn, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Opposite them was an elite cavalry wearing full armor.
"Has the news been reported?"
At this time, a general walked up to the city wall and asked a general.
"General, the news has been reported." The general saluted and replied.
"Okay." The general agreed.
This general was none other than Changsun Wuyi, the right general of the guards who was demoted by Li Shimin, and the half-brother of Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuyi came to the edge of the city wall and looked at the square formation below with a frown.
The formation was neat and uniform, even the carriages at the back were the same. Thousands of people stood together in silence, and the horses sitting down did not even flatter.
It can be seen how strict the military discipline of this army is. Even the imperial guards cannot do this. Orders are strictly enforced and military orders are as heavy as mountains.
Even if he didn't understand military affairs, he could see that this was an elite among the elite, but such an elite army did not belong to the imperial court.
He had heard of this army but had never seen it. He always thought it was similar to ordinary government soldiers.
What he could not have imagined was that such a threatening army had been stationed on the edge of the capital for a long time.
What he couldn't have imagined was that the court actually allowed it. What on earth was His Majesty thinking?
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? What if they take the opportunity to rebel?
Just as Changsun Wuyi was deep in thought, he saw a young general in a white robe riding out from the opposite team.
He was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, a white robe, holding a bright silver snake spear, and riding a pure white Dayuan horse. The horse's feet stepped on the black clouds and slowly came to the front of the two armies, shouting:
"Hey~~~, who is on the city wall? Tell me your name."
The sound is like a huge bell, surging, sonorous and exciting, resounding through the sky, with an unstoppable momentum that makes people's hearts excited.
"Your humble servant, General Changsun Wuyi of the Right Marquis Guard, greets His Royal Highness Prince Ji. I wonder what His Royal Highness Prince Ji wants to do by bringing thousands of troops here?"
Changsun Wuyi stood on the city wall, bowed in the air, and asked loudly.
"Changsun Wuyi?" Li Shen was stunned when he heard it at first, and then he remembered that he had heard a few months ago that Changsun Wuyi was demoted by his father.
He was demoted from the rank of General Yunhui to the rank of General Youhouwei.
My father's blow was really ruthless.
"It turns out to be General Changsun. I have been ordered to go to the Anxi Protectorate. Please open the city gate quickly and let us pass?" Li Shen shouted.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, do you have any official letter from the Ministry of War, or a handwritten order from His Majesty?" Changsun Wuyi asked.
"I have an imperial decree from His Majesty asking me to go to the Anxi Protectorate. How about you come down and take a look? Do you think I would fake an imperial decree?"
Li Shen scolded angrily.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, if this is just an imperial decree to the Anxi Protectorate, please forgive me. I cannot let you enter the city."
Changsun Wuyi already had some complaints against Li Shen, and he was demoted because of Li Shen.
Li Shen had a bad relationship with his brother, he was just implicated.
"Asshole!" Li Shen was furious when he heard this. "I hold an important position. I advise you to open the city gates obediently. Otherwise, if the military intelligence is delayed, I am afraid you can't afford it."
Changsun Wuyi was not at all flustered by Li Shen's threat, and even showed disdain on his face:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I am doing my duty. Don't you know that the army cannot enter the city without permission?"
You must be kidding. If I let Prince Ji in, I would be the sinner. If a rebellion breaks out, I would be the first person to be considered as an accomplice of Li Shen and would definitely be executed immediately.
The young prince in front of him is really lawless. He dares to lead troops into the city without reporting, and even dares to block the city gate.
The East City Gate, which was bustling just now, now has no merchants to be found. They have all been scared away.
"How dare you! I have no right to tell you what to do. I have His Majesty's order. If you don't believe me, you can go to His Majesty to verify it."
Li Shen waved the spear in his hand in front of him, appearing even more murderous.
Changsun Wuyi, however, was not afraid at all and looked nonchalant.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, as the General of the Right Guard, I have the important task of protecting Chang'an City. Your Highness Prince Ji should know that the army cannot enter and leave the imperial city at will.
If His Royal Highness Prince Ji insists on doing what he wants, then I have to doubt His Royal Highness Prince Ji's intentions."
Changsun Wuyi sneered in his heart and took this opportunity to show his loyalty to others.
The implication is also to imply that Li Shen is planning to lead troops to rebel.
"Okay, General Changsun is so loyal to his duties that I admire him the most. Let's wait for news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
After Li Shen finished speaking, he stopped talking to Changsun Wuyi and turned around to walk back to his team.
His purpose was to make a big fuss, and it would be interesting only if it became a big event. Anyway, he would leave for the northwest soon.
Even if my father found out about this later, he wouldn't catch up with me and punish me for such a small thing, right?
Before leaving, Li Shen had to create some trouble for Li Chengqian, otherwise he would not be able to relieve his hatred.
Li Shen felt unbalanced as he was about to travel far away, away from his wife, children and warm home, while Li Chengqian could stay at home with his beautiful wife and concubines.
In fact, when Li Shen went out just now, he really wanted to shout, "You are surrounded, open the door and surrender quickly."
But he was also afraid of being charged with treason.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere on the city wall became more and more depressing. The soldiers had just heard what Li Shen said.
It is not allowed to bring troops into the city without an imperial decree. This is the rule. Even ordinary guards like them know this, so how could King Ji not know it?
This time, Prince Ji's troops were at the gates of the city, and it was obvious that he did it on purpose.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard. Changsun Wuyi looked back and saw Wang Zhong hurriedly running up the city wall.
He came to Changsun Wuyi and opened the scroll in his hand:
"Pass on the Crown Prince's order! General Zhangsun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that the city gates be opened to allow His Royal Highness Prince Ji and the Prince Ji's Palace Guard Battalion to enter the city."
"What?" Zhang Sun Wuyi was a little shocked. "Let them in? Does His Royal Highness know that these are elite soldiers?"
Changsun Wuyi couldn't help but ask, he felt that the prince didn't know how much impact these guards from Prince Ji's Mansion would have on Chang'an City.
“General Changsun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince certainly knows that these people are elite soldiers and strong generals, otherwise why would he order His Royal Highness Prince Ji to go to the Anxi Protectorate?
Your Highness the Crown Prince allowed Your Highness Prince Ji to enter the city in order to hold a ceremony for His Highness Prince Ji to go to war. So, open the city gates and don’t delay the time.”
