In Changan City, the former Grand Emperor Taizong of the Xuanwu Sect confidently handed the command to his third son, Li Ke. He sat on his horse and observed the battle. Li Kui knew that his father wanted him to make contributions in order to pave the way for his future succession. Li Kui was a very capable commander, and Li Kui was also a very good general. He inherited his father, Emperor Taizong, with nearly a thousand troops under his command.

The Black Tortoise Sect was the strongest and the most dangerous of the four gates. Li Kui, who was an expert in military affairs, naturally knew that it would not be easy for him to win. Moreover, the Imperial City was guarded by the most elite Imperial Guards, Armored Army, Thousand Ox Guards and Guo Guo Army. There were no less than two thousand of them, so it would not be easy to capture the traitors within the Imperial City.

At this moment, Li Qie commanded the three hundred soldiers of the Shen Ji Camp to use advanced crossbow bolts and escalators to suppress the guards guarding the city gates. He then commanded the remaining soldiers to attack the city gates with all their strength, hoping to break through the outskirts of the imperial city as soon as possible.

Although the Imperial City was guarded by nearly two thousand guards, due to the large size of the Imperial City and the connections to the outside world, Li Chengqian had evenly distributed the two thousand troops at the four gates, increasing the number and frequency of his daily patrols. In this way, there were nearly six to seven hundred people guarding the city gate, which was the same size as Emperor Taizong's men outside the city. When Emperor Taizong was young and became the King of Qin, the armies had already submitted to him. Now, after twenty years, his might and benevolence had already been deeply engraved in the hearts of the people. This time, they had been forced to follow the crown prince, Li Chengquan, in conspiring against him. Now that Emperor Taizong had returned safely, their hearts could not help but hesitate for a moment, their hearts still beginning to waver.

Although there were two thousand people in the Imperial City, most of them were loyal to the crown prince, and most of the guards were watching from the left and right.

There was a saying: When meeting on a narrow path, the brave wins, the morale of Emperor Taizong's side would rise. Although they ran all the way, in order to regain the throne, they would show their loyalty. Moreover, the layout was not normal, so how could it withstand the fierce attacks of the Mysterious God and the imperial guards? Not long after, all of the palace guards retreated as the Black Tortoise Gate was breached.

Seeing that they had won, the morale of Emperor Taizong's camp was like a fire filled with oil, burning even more fiercely. Without Li Kui making any arrangements, squads of three to five groups of people entered the imperial city from Black Tortoise City.

Meanwhile, the members of the Shen Lo Camp were escorting Emperor Taizong and Third Prince Li Ke straight into the Office of Internal Affairs. They were going to end this rebellion as soon as possible and restore peace to the world as soon as possible!

At the same time, in the imperial city's governance hall, the crown prince, Li Chengqian, was weakly sitting on a dragon throne with a haggard expression.

"Your Highness, Duke Chen led the Sixteenth Guard army to the south gate. They originally wanted to stop Emperor Taizong, but Third Prince Li Ji suddenly led the divine opportunity camp and rushed over. "The battle was reversed in one swoop. Duke Chen had died in battle, and the thousand men of the Sixteenth Guard that he brought along had been executed as well!" For some reason, this group of guards became the crown prince of Li Chenggang, who was sitting on the dragon throne.

"Your Highness Crown Prince, Emperor Taizong entered from the south gate, but took a detour to the vicinity of North City, and then attacked from the direction of Black Tortoise Sect!"

"Your Highness, the Black Tortoise Sect has fallen. The palace guards have retreated to the inner palace and are preparing to gather their forces to meet the enemy!"

"Your Highness, the members of the Shen Ji Camp are too fierce for the guards to stop them. Your Highness, I invite you to leave first, and come back to the beginning later!"

"Crown Prince, Third Prince Li Kui has already led the Shen Ji Camp to the vicinity of the Pavilion of Ascending Mist. However, he suddenly stopped! Your Highness should leave quickly! "

Li Chenggang, who was leaning back in his chair, listened to the piece of bad news nonstop as his heart trembled. He was weak and cowardly, but at this moment of life and death, he gained courage that ordinary people would not have. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a few generals of the Imperial Guards standing in front of him with flustered expressions on their faces. A flame rose in his heart and he shouted loudly, "What are you guys panicking for? Is the sky falling? " Several generals of the Imperial Guard had obviously not heard these words from the crown prince, who normally wouldn't even speak loudly. They all stood there dumbstruck, thinking to themselves, "I don't know about the sky collapsing for you, but for us insignificant people who support you in usurping your position, the sky has already fallen …"

Li Chenggang sat upright on a chair, his expression fierce and the muscles on his cheek constantly quivering. He hated them, just as his father hated that he couldn't be as good at learning and fighting as he was, and that he was more like him.

Perhaps every Enlightenment Sovereign wanted to find a son who was most similar to him as the successor to the throne. It was for no other reason but to let his son rule the country. How could his son not have a trace of himself on his body? And that feeling, it was as if the time had never passed and he had always worked hard for this country, forever becoming its master.

Emperor Taizong was such a person. He hoped that his eldest son would be like him. Not only could he conquer the rivers and mountains, he could also protect them. Among his four sons, the eldest, Li Chengquan, was a kind-hearted man who did things slowly but hesitantly. However, the Emperor Taizong, who always believed in being able to guard the mountains and rivers, had chosen his eldest son as the ruler. He knew that Li Chenggang had many flaws, but these could be made up for, so he was very satisfied with this storage.

In the office, a guard had to remind him again, "Your Highness, if you don't leave now, it will be too late!" Hearing the shouts from outside, Li Chengqian slowly stood up and waved his hand. With a long sigh, he slowly spoke, "Don't worry, royal father wants my life, not yours. After I have been pacified, with royal father's knowledge and ability, you all will at least be mediocre in the future, and won't be able to worry about the future at all. "

The guard who had urged the Crown Prince several times said, "Then where is the Crown Prince?"

Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who was standing in front of the imperial bodyguard seemed to not care at all and said, "Me?! He was naturally standing here with his hands folded, waiting to be caught! I've persisted through the rebellion till the end. Although I've achieved nothing, I'm still proud of myself! "

Everyone in the hall was stunned. They didn't understand what the Crown Prince meant, but the Crown Prince said, "You can all leave. Don't worry about me, I'm here to see my father. I've come to ask him a few questions myself!"
