Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 364
The snow in Chang'an gradually increased.

Qin Tian was driving towards Duke Lu's mansion in a carriage, and there was a cold wind blowing from time to time along the way, making Qin Tian shiver from the cold.

Originally, the matter of Xuanwu Gate was between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. He didn't really want to intervene, and Li Shimin was clearly prepared.

One more of him is not much, and one less of him is not much. Li Shimin should be able to succeed.

However, Li Jiancheng actually wanted to kill him, so he couldn't just sit idly by.

Therefore, he felt that it was necessary for him to know something, only in this way could he feel at ease.

He can ask his adoptive father Qin Shubao about this kind of matter, but his adoptive father is sometimes too rigid, and asking about this will make him feel uncomfortable.

In comparison, Cheng Yaojin is much more interesting.

After arriving at Lu Guogong's mansion, the servants in the mansion directly led Qin Tian to the living room. As soon as he sat down in the living room, Cheng Yaojin came carelessly.

"Why do you come to my house when you have time?"

After sitting down next to Qin Tian, ​​Cheng Yaojin just picked up the hot tea, and Qin Tian smiled wryly, and said, "That's right, today I received an edict from the Holy Majesty to go out with the army."

"You also received it?" Cheng Yaojin was a little shocked. They received the order because Li Jiancheng wanted to kill them. He didn't expect Li Jiancheng to even Qin Tian.

Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Qi is the crown prince, if I go, I'm afraid I won't come."

Speaking of this, Qin Tian glanced outside and saw that there was no one outside the living room, so he lowered his voice and said: "The crown prince wants to kill His Highness King Qin, so it's impossible for His Highness King Qin to do nothing?"

Qin Tian knew about Li Shimin's affairs, and Cheng Yaojin also knew that Qin Tian knew about it, so when Qin Tian said these words, Cheng Yaojin didn't think it was too strange, he just hesitated for a moment, and then completely escaped from Li Shimin's plan.

"Of course, how can the prince watch us go to die? The prince has decided to find an opportunity to get rid of them at the Xuanwu Gate when the prince and King Qi enter the palace."

"Is the plan detailed?"

"Of course, it's very careful. Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, will be recruited by Li Ji. As long as Chang He is recruited and the Xuanwu Gate is controlled, then we can set up an ambush at the Xuanwu Gate..."

Cheng Yaojin told Qin Tian about the situation. After listening to it, Qin Tian felt that Li Shimin's arrangement was really seamless, and he couldn't raise any objections at all.

But after thinking about it for a while, Qin Tian still asked a question: "How can the prince be sure that the crown prince and King Qi will enter the palace together, and also know when they will enter the palace. If there is a slight deviation, the problem will be serious. .”

The crown prince and the king of Qi, if one person is not removed, Li Shimin may suffer, so if he wants to kill them, he must kill both of them.

In this way, there must be enough strategies to ensure that the two of them will enter the palace at the same time, and it must be at a time they can be sure of.

Otherwise, they had set up an ambush, but Li Jiancheng didn't go, so they would scare the snake away, and all previous efforts would be wasted.

"My lord, if you do something during the morning court, the two of them will definitely go to the morning court together, right?"

Qin Tian shook his head: "No, there were too many officials in the early court. In that case, the prince's crime of killing his brother and seizing power will not be cleared for the rest of his life. Moreover, there are too many people, and it is easy to change. You are in ambush. There are quite a few people in the court who support the prince, if they all protect the prince, you will not be able to kill him for a while, and it will be too late when the saint comes up."

After Qin Tian said this, Cheng Yaojin was suddenly stunned.

"Then what do you say?"

"I don't know about this either. You can tell the prince and let him arrange it."

After Qin Tian finished speaking in Lu Guogong's mansion, he rushed back in the wind and snow. He knew that as long as this question was brought up, Cheng Yaojin would definitely tell Li Shimin about it.

Cheng Yaojin hesitated at the mansion for a moment, then immediately prepared his car and rushed to Qin Wang's mansion.

In the cold wind, the Prince Qin's Mansion looked a bit cold. After Cheng Yaojin came in, he could feel that the atmosphere here was much more dignified than before.

After coming to the living room, after waiting for a while, Li Shimin came.

"My lord."

Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Why is Duke Lu here?"

"My lord, my old Cheng suddenly thought of a problem. If I don't solve it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"How to ensure that the prince and King Qi enter the palace together, and we can remove them as quickly as possible..."

Cheng Yaojin repeated what Qin Tian said just now to Li Shimin, after Li Shimin listened, his expression changed suddenly, before, he thought his plan was perfect.

But it didn't occur to me that this was overlooked.

Although according to their plan, in an ideal state, it is completely possible to succeed, but the premise is that in an ideal state, if there is a little mistake, they are unlikely to succeed.

Moreover, if he killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in full view, it would not be easy for him to ascend to the throne of God.

Li Shimin frowned deeply, thinking that this problem was too serious, fortunately he found it in time, otherwise it would be too late when he came to him.

When thinking like this, Li Shimin slightly raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yaojin, and immediately felt a little strange.

"Duke Lu came up with this?"

Cheng Yaojin showed a slightly flustered expression, then immediately stretched his neck and straightened his chest.

"This is what I came up with after thinking about it."

As soon as he saw Cheng Yaojin like this, Li Shimin knew that this was definitely not something he came up with. Although Cheng Yaojin was a bit clever, he was not good at such meticulous things.

But Li Shimin didn't point it out, just smiled and said: "Since it was Lu Guogong who came up with it, then Lu Guogong must know how to solve this problem, right?"

When Li Shimin asked this question, Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded. Even Qin Tian didn't know how to solve the problem, how could he know how to solve it?
"My lord, I just came up with this question. I don't know the answer..." Cheng Yaojin slightly raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin. Rolling his eyes, he immediately changed his mouth and said: "My lord, actually... that kid Qin Tian told me this, but that kid doesn't know what to do, he really isn't much better than me."

"Qin Tian?" Li Shimin's heart moved slightly, and then he showed a slight smile: "This Qin Tian is really a chicken thief, and I have to borrow your mouth for things that I can talk to this king directly."

"What does the lord mean?" Cheng Yaojin was a little confused and couldn't understand the meaning at all, Li Shimin sighed softly: "Forget it, if that's the case, then I should go to the Qin mansion."

"What to do in the Qin Mansion, that kid doesn't know..."
