Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 372 The Change of Xuanwu Gate

Li Yuanji advocated forcing the palace.

He has always done things simply and rudely.

What's more, he also wants to change his title. Now he is His Royal Highness King Qi, but if Li Jiancheng ascends the throne as emperor, then he will be the king side by side.

The side-by-side king is almost the same as the emperor, and he feels majestic when he thinks about it.

Li Jiancheng didn't know what Li Yuanji was thinking, but he didn't point it out. After pondering, he said, "What both of you said makes sense. It's better to be more cautious about this matter. In this way, tomorrow, the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Qi will bring Feng Immediately waiting to enter the palace, Mister Song, Xue Wanche and others are in the East Palace with soldiers and horses at any time, if something unexpected happens, how about going to the palace immediately to help?"

Feng Li and other generals are amazing in force. With them protecting Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, they will be safe in the palace for the time being. The East Palace is very close to the palace. If something goes wrong, Song Gongqing can immediately send people into the palace to rescue them.

Furthermore, Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate in the palace, belonged to them. It was too easy for them to enter and leave the palace.

"Okay, listen to His Highness the Crown Prince, but for the sake of safety, His Highness the Crown Prince can enter the palace through the Xuanwu Gate tomorrow, and Chang He is one of us, so that His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Qi will be safe."

Li Jiancheng nodded, and after a detailed discussion, the group of people just waited for tomorrow's entry into the palace.

As night fell, the snow in Chang'an City became smaller and smaller.

Many places in Prince Qin's Mansion were already dark, and the Palace of Prince Qin, which had been tense for a day, was finally quiet.

The light was still on in Li Shimin's room, and Li Shimin sat on the head of the bed with a dazed and uneasy expression.

Princess Changsun sat aside, seeing Li Shimin like this, she wanted to say something to reassure him, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Time passed slowly like this, Li Shimin got up and paced back and forth in the room, sighing again from time to time.

There is going to be an incident tomorrow, but his heart can't be calmed down. He is a little worried, and even a little hesitant. He doesn't know whether tomorrow's incident will be successful.

The snow outside seemed to have stopped, but the wind was stronger, and the wind was whistling, and the snow on the branches in the courtyard fell one after another.

Xueluo's voice rustled. After hesitating for a long time, Li Shimin said, "Princess, I'm a little worried. Why don't you call Yuan Tiangang over for a divination?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin added another sentence: "Before the Taibai Jinxing appeared in the south, Yuan Tiangang said that the Venus is on the border of Qin, this is a sign that this king is in charge of the world, let him do a divination to see what happens tomorrow. Will it work, how?"

Li Shimin has ambitions, but he still can't settle down in such a forced palace.

Seeing her like this, Princess Changsun felt a little uneasy, but she knew that if Li Shimin continued like this, tomorrow's affairs might not be completed smoothly.

Thinking about it, Princess Changsun said: "My lord, since Yuan Tiangang has already said that it is a sign that the lord deserves to win the world, then tomorrow's event must be successful. If so, why do you need divination?"

Princess Changsun's expression suddenly changed when she said this, and she said: "Furthermore, divination is to decide difficult matters. Now it is imperative to do things, and there is nothing doubtful. The prince only needs to try his best tomorrow. .”

Princess Changsun is virtuous and reasonable at the same time. After Li Shimin heard her words, his heart immediately calmed down a lot. He grabbed Princess Changsun's hand and said, "What Concubine Ai said is very true, and Concubine Ai can see things clearly. ah……"
-
The snow really stopped.

After the heavy snow and the first clear sky, the city of Chang'an was silvery white. After dawn, a palace official named Ajiu hurried to the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion.

"There is an order from the Holy Spirit to let His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qi enter the palace."

This Ah Jiu belonged to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin made Ah Jiu fake this order.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji believed the news sent by Concubine Yin De yesterday to be true, thinking that their father wanted them to enter the palace to confront each other face to face.

So after Ah Jiu's edict came, the two of them didn't have the slightest doubt, and quickly led Feng Li and other generals into the palace from the Xuanwu Gate.

Chang He was on duty at the Xuanwu Gate at this time. After Li Jiancheng brought people in, someone immediately went up to explain to Chang He that if Song Gongqing led the troops, they could open the door quickly.

For this, Chang He naturally responded.

After receiving Chang He's words, Li Jiancheng finally settled down, and then continued walking inside with Li Yuanji.

But when he walked to the Linhu Palace like this, a loud shout came from the side: "Li Jiancheng, you sent someone to assassinate this king, and even had an affair with Concubine Yin De, are you guilty?"

The voice was loud, Li Jiancheng frowned when he heard the voice, and then he saw Li Shimin and the generals behind Li Shimin.

Qin Shubao, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and others, each of these people has a story of several days and nights.

They followed behind Li Shimin, their aura was indiscriminate, which made Li Jiancheng's heart tremble suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jiancheng was a little shocked.

"Li Shimin, you... aren't you poisoned, why are you here?"

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "If I am not poisoned, how can I stay here and wait for you to come and die?"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng secretly thought it was bad.

"go!"

Li Shimin had already set up an ambush here, and if he didn't leave, he would die. When Li Jiancheng gave an order, they quickly retreated in the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

As long as they retreat to the Xuanwu Gate, what should they do? They can attack when they advance, and they can defend when they retreat. If they can fight, they will take the opportunity to destroy Li Shimin. If they can't, they will return to the East Palace. Can't succeed.

However, before they retreated to the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin's people who had been lying in ambush on the road to the lake palace had rushed out and surrounded Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Feng Li and the others.

"His Royal Highness, what should we do now?" Feng Li held a big knife, his eyes were very firm, without the slightest fear.

Li Jiancheng was protected by a group of his own soldiers in the middle, and he shouted: "Lan Mou, you take people out, go straight to the father's place, and tell the father about Li Shimin's rebellion and forced the palace, and let him send people to rescue as soon as possible. Follow me to the Xuanwu Gate."

As soon as the order was issued, a burly military general immediately shouted, and then led the two of them to rush in one direction. However, just as they rushed over, Cheng Yaojin had already killed Li Shimin with a Xuanhua axe. Here comes.

"If you want to file a complaint, first ask Lao Tzu if he agrees with the axe."

Cheng Yaojin quickly formed a group with Lan Muru, and Li Jiancheng led people to break through the Xuanwu Gate, but Li Shimin's people were not easy to kill.

It is difficult to break through here, Qi Wang Li Yuanji suddenly shouted angrily: "His Royal Highness, go first, leave this place to me to stop, Li Shimin, take your life..."
