"His Majesty has graced the Ninety Percent Palace with his presence. This time, all the guards must not slack off. Do not allow any mishap to befall His Majesty." In the Imperial Guard camp, Xi Junmai sat upright on the main seat and solemnly gave his orders.
For Li Shimin's visit to the Ninety Percent Palace, Xi Junmai was in charge of Li Shimin's safety. As usual, Xi Junmai was in charge of the defense of the entire Ninety Percent Palace.
"I obey!"
The group of officers and generals suddenly yelled.
Xi Junmai couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile when he saw the lieutenants express their agreement. Only then did he begin to assign the various guards.
"This general will personally guard His Majesty's safety. Qin Huaiyu will be in charge of ten percent of the Palace, Cheng Chumo will be in charge of twenty percent …" Xi Junmai ordered.
The ninety percent of the Ninety Percent Palace meant that there were either nine or ninety percent of it. The layout of the Ninety Percent Palace was roughly the same.
"I obey!"
Qin Huaiyu and the others loudly acknowledged the order. Soon, the arrangements for the various palaces were completed. Next was the area outside the Ninety Percent Palace, which was also the focal point of the defense. The various generals would need to take turns patrolling the area.
"… Ashina Society, you will be in charge of patrolling the area from midnight to dawn every day." Xi Junmai gave the final order to a Hu general.
"I obey!" The leader of the Ashina Society cupped his hands and stood up. However, there was a trace of resentment on his face. The period from Zi to Maoshi was late at night. It was when the sky was darkest and people were the most sleepy. The Ashina Society was assigned the most difficult work. This phenomenon was already normal. Among the generals, the Tang Generals were usually assigned the easiest work. The dirty and tiring work was usually done by the Hu Generals. Although everyone was harmonious under the name of the Heavenly Khan, the competition between the Tang Generals and the Hu Generals was very obvious.
After the meeting, Ashina Society's leader walked out of the tent. Looking at the generals in front of him, he couldn't help but sneer. Although he had been assigned the most difficult job, it was exactly what he wanted. Late at night was the best time to launch a surprise attack.
The Ashina Society quietly fell behind and left the military camp when no one was paying attention. They quickly rode to a secret manor outside Chang 'an. The manor covered a large area, but its style was very different from the architecture of the Tang dynasty. Instead, it was covered with yurts, which had a strong Turks style. This was the outer residence of Heluohe, the son of Tuli Khan.
The Ashina Society led the way to a luxurious yurt in the middle of the hall. Lifting the curtain, they walked in, and with a loud and clear voice they said, "My good nephew, Li Shimin has already traveled to Ninety Percent Palace, the opportunity to restore the Turkic Khaganate has come."
Inside the yurt, a young Turk about twenty years old suddenly stood up. His face was filled with ecstasy. This person was Heluohe. He was originally unwilling to take such a risk. However, he was a member of the royal family of the Turks and the heir of the Khanate of Turks in name. The Tang dynasty had intentionally or unintentionally weakened his tribe. Now, Heluohe only had the title of Khan but no real power. This made him extremely dissatisfied with Li Shimin. He Luohe was famous and the Ashina Society was powerful. Coupled with the fact that both of them had Satoshi Tani as a matchmaker, they hit it off and joined forces to rebel together.
"Good, Li Shimin has finally left the Imperial Palace!" Heluohe said excitedly. With Li Shimin in the Imperial Palace, they did not have the slightest chance. And going to Ninety Percent Palace was when Li Shimin's protection was at its weakest.
However, after the excitement, Heluohe said somewhat worriedly, "Uncle, what are the chances of success?"
Although the idea of restoring the Turks was great, the risk was equally great. Heluohe had inherited his father's position as Khan. In the Tang dynasty, he was already a Rank One existence. Moreover, he had the support of many Turks under his command. It could be said that he was living a good life.
If the rebellion succeeded, then it would be fine. But if it failed, then he would lose everything. He was already used to the prosperity of the Tang dynasty. Naturally, he was unwilling to lose everything.
"Don't worry. Uncle has already secretly gathered quite a few Tujue warriors who are willing to revive the country. Each one of them is a top-notch martial art expert. They will definitely be able to kill Li Shimin and the son of the School of Mo in one stroke. " Ashina Society Leader patted his chest and promised. Although Li Shimin was soft towards the Turks, the Turks had not been destroyed for long. Naturally, there were many people who missed the glory of the Turks. They were unwilling to submit to the Tang dynasty. Now that Ashina Society Leader took the lead, many Turks quietly responded.
"Kill Mo Jiazi? Why are we splitting up to kill Mo Jiazi? We are already taking a great risk to kill Li Shimin. If we split up to kill Mo Jiazi, then wouldn't we be taking double the risk? "Heluohe frowned. In his view, only by killing Li Shimin at full force and leaving the Great Tang leaderless would the Turkic Khaganate be able to successfully restore their country. Splitting up their forces to kill the son of the Mo Clan would create unnecessary problems, and they would be taking a lot of risks for no reason.
Ashina Society Leader sneered in his heart, "My nephew, you are the son of Tuli Khan. Naturally, you can call upon hundreds of people. If I want to gain a foothold in the grasslands, then I need Satoshi Tani's support. And it just so happens that Satoshi Tani's condition is to assassinate Mo Jiazi.
Of course, these words could not be said to Heluohe. Ashina Society Leader thought for a while and said, "Killing Li Shimin is naturally the most important thing. However, Mo Jiazi is also someone who must be killed. This person's existence is the greatest threat to the grasslands. The gunpowder he controls is the greatest threat to the cavalry. Even if we are lucky enough to kill Li Shimin and return to the grasslands to restore the Turks, the Tang dynasty will not give up. One day, Mo Jiazi will bring gunpowder to avenge Li Shimin. What can we use to stop him? "
Heluohe was shocked. He was in the Tang dynasty and naturally received more information. Naturally, he knew how powerful gunpowder was and how important Mo Jiazi was. Only by killing Li Shimin could they make the Tang dynasty leaderless and buy time for the Turks to restore the Turks. Only by killing Mo Jiazi and interrupting the Tang dynasty's prosperity could the Turks survive after the restoration of the Turks.
"Then I'm afraid we will need more Turks to succeed in this battle." Heluohe took a deep breath and said. This time, Mo Jiazi and Li Shimin would be in the Ninety Percent Palace together. This was the best opportunity to eliminate the threat of the Turks in one fell swoop.
"I will invite more Turks. This assassination will definitely succeed. We are the eagles of the grasslands. How can we be trapped by these high walls? Our Ashina clan is destined to laugh proudly in the grasslands and wipe away the shame of Xieli Khan, my Heluohe Khan." Ashina Gulu encouraged with all his might.
"Khan Heluohe?" Heluohe's blood boiled when he heard this. When he thought of the success of this assassination, he would be able to dominate the grasslands like his uncle Satoshi Tani. At that time, the Eastern and Western Turks would belong to the Ashina clan. He would definitely be able to reproduce the glory of his grandfather, Shibi Khan, and make the Tang dynasty bow down to him.
"For the Turks, let us uncle and nephew take a gamble today." Ashina Gulu said solemnly.
"For the Turks!" Heluohe's face was filled with fervor.
