A knife in love

Chapter 3266

Li Qiufeng wanted to know the origin of Xingtang Temple, so he patiently listened to Li Zongyang's words.But the more Li Zongyang said, the more bizarre he became. Finally, Li Qiufeng was impatient when he talked about Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's struggle for the throne, but it was difficult to interrupt Li Zongyang's conversation, so he had to bear it temporarily and did not speak.

I just heard Li Zongyang say: "After discussing with everyone, Emperor Taizong planned to lure Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to the palace first, set up an ambush outside the Xuanwu Gate, and kill them together. Changsun Wuji gave Emperor Taizong an idea. , and asked him to report to Emperor Gaozu that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were messing up the harem and plotting wrongdoing. Although Emperor Gaozu had the intention to favor the crown prince and King Qi, it was related to the secret affairs of the palace. Confrontation in the palace. At that time, everyone in the Qin Palace can lie in ambush outside the Xuanwu Gate. When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji enter the palace, the ambushes will come out everywhere, kill the two, and then explain the whole story to Emperor Gaozu. Emperor Gaozu is wise and powerful , must be able to understand King Qin's difficulties."

Li Qiufeng heard what Li Zongyang said, and thought to himself that what Changsun Wuji said was not true.Gaozu Li Yuan has always liked the prince Li Jiancheng, and never planned to abolish Li Jiancheng and make Li Shimin the prince.If he knew that Li Shimin was going to ambush Li Jiancheng outside the Xuanwu Gate, he might immediately send troops to destroy the Qin Palace.The eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's eldest brother-in-law, and he is extremely shrewd.He offered advice for Li Shimin. After getting rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he rushed into the palace immediately and forced Li Yuan to canonize Li Shimin as the prince.If Li Yuan refused to canonize Li Shimin as the prince, his life might be in danger.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Li Zongyang continue to say: "Sure enough, Emperor Taizong revealed to Emperor Gaozu that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were messing up the harem, Emperor Gaozu was furious, and ordered to summon the prince, King Qin and King Qi, and asked them to come to the palace Confrontation. After Emperor Taizong received the imperial decree, he immediately summoned all his subordinates and ordered them to ambush outside the Xuanwu Gate. When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji arrived outside the Xuanwu Gate, they immediately ambushed and killed them. Everyone thought To ambush the Prince and the King of Qi, once the matter fails, it is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. Therefore, although Emperor Taizong said that there must be great benefits after the matter is completed, everyone was in a state of anxiety, and no one spoke for a while. Only Yuchi Gong stood up, threatening to succeed this time.

"Emperor Taizong led the people to ambush outside the Xuanwu Gate. When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji approached the Xuanwu Gate on horseback, he bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot Li Jiancheng to death. Everyone in the Qin Palace saw Li Jiancheng fell from his horse to the ground. It was a done deal, and there was no longer any hesitation, so they all brandished their weapons and rushed up, fighting with the guards of the Prince's Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's guards were not weak in martial arts, and the defenders on the Xuanwu Gate also had Li Jiancheng's best friends These people knew that Emperor Taizong would not spare them after he succeeded, so they risked their lives to fight with everyone in Qin Palace, hoping that they could escape the death penalty by killing Emperor Taizong.

"Li Yuanji has always helped Li Jiancheng to deal with Emperor Gaozu. He is loyal to Li Jiancheng on the surface, but in fact he has other plans. It should be noted that Li Yuanji is not as good as Li Jiancheng in writing, Li Shimin in martial arts, and he is not the eldest son. It is more difficult than ascending to heaven. Therefore, Li Yuanji intends to provoke Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to fight each other. When the prince's mansion and Qin Wang's mansion are both defeated, he can take chestnuts from the fire and become the prince himself. He received the imperial decree from Emperor Gaozu to summon him into the palace. At that time, Li Yuanji guessed that the Prince Qin's Mansion was about to kill someone, and it was in his hands. He thought that the Prince Qin's Mansion would definitely kill Li Jiancheng and himself in order to protect itself. As long as the two parties fought, he would immediately flee into the palace. Ask Emperor Gaozu for help. At that time, no matter Li Jiancheng killed Li Shimin, or Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng, the person who was alive would definitely not be able to be the prince, and Emperor Gaozu could only canonize himself as the prince.

"Li Yuanji made up his mind. When the ambush in the Qin Palace was everywhere, he deliberately pretended to be panicked. In fact, he was overjoyed. He shouted to his guards and the guards of the Prince's Mansion, King Qin plotted rebellion. Killing the prince, and everyone failing to protect the prince, has committed a capital crime! Only by desperately resisting and killing the king of Qin and his gang of rebels, will the emperor forgive everyone's sins!
"The guards of Prince's Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion saw Li Jiancheng being shot down with their own eyes, and they were terrified. Hearing what Li Yuanji said, it was like a drowning man grabbing a piece of wood. In order to protect themselves, these people desperately fought against the ambush soldiers of Prince Qin's Mansion. And everyone in Prince Qin's Mansion also knew that it was at a critical moment. If the Prince's Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion could not be destroyed, no one would be able to escape. The catastrophe of extermination. The two groups of people were red-eyed. After rushing to one place, they brandished their swords and hacked indiscriminately. Only the screams of killing and screams were heard one after another. Outside the solemn and solemn Xuanwu Gate, it turned into The Shura field of bloody killings.

"Li Yuanji saw the guards of Prince's Mansion and King Qi's Mansion fighting with the ambush soldiers of King Qin's Mansion. He was overjoyed. He turned his horse's head and ran towards Xuanwu Gate. He had already made up his mind. Ren and the guards of the prince's mansion and the king's mansion of Qi rushed into the palace first to meet Emperor Gaozu, and only said that Li Shimin had launched a rebellion and shot and killed the prince Li Jiancheng outside the Xuanwu Gate. Emperor Gaozu was sad that the prince died when he heard the news. Mobilize the Yulin army to besiege Li Shimin. At that time, both the prince and the king of Qin will suffer, and he will naturally sit on the throne of the prince.

"It's just that when Li Yuanji took advantage of the chaos and fled, Emperor Taizong saw it. Emperor Taizong is so smart, he saw through Li Yuanji's plot at a glance, and knew that Li Yuanji must not be allowed to escape into the palace at this time, so he chased Li Yuanji on horseback. Go. Unexpectedly, the horse stumbled, and Emperor Taizong fell off the horse. Li Yuanji was overjoyed when he saw Emperor Taizong fall from the horse. Naturally, he refused to let go of this good opportunity to assassinate Emperor Taizong. He immediately turned his horse and rushed to Emperor Taizong, and jumped off the horse Later, he strangled Emperor Taizong's neck with a bowstring, trying to strangle him to death.

"Seeing that Li Yuanji was about to succeed, Yu Chigong, who had been staring at him, suddenly rushed behind him and chopped off his head with a single sword, saving Emperor Taizong's life. The guards of the Prince's Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion watched The prince and the king of Qi died in battle one after another. They were so frightened that they lost their fighting spirit. They uttered a cry and scattered like birds and beasts. Yu Chigong took Li Yuanji's man in his hand, and cut off the head of Li Jiancheng, who had been shot dead by Emperor Taizong. , Then he put the sword back into its sheath, grabbed Li Jiancheng's head from the ground with his right hand, turned around and said to Emperor Taizong, my lord will wait here, and the general will go to see the emperor right now."
