Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 861
Chapter [-] Regardless of victory or defeat, life and death are equal
Li Yuanji rode a fast horse and rushed towards Qinglin like a gust of wind.Li Yuanji entered Chen Ying's study just after the servant of the Huangmen left.

Seeing Li Yuanji's panic-stricken arrival, Li Jiancheng looked at the disturbed Li Yuanji in astonishment and asked, "Sanhu, what happened?"

Li Yuanji said anxiously: "Zhang Jieyu sent a servant to send the news that the second child is in front of His Majesty, falsely accusing us two brothers of messing up the court."

Li Jiancheng chuckled: "Although this matter is unimaginable, it is not so great. Father is wise and decisive, how can such a small trick be hidden from his old man?"

Li Yuanji looked at Chen Ying anxiously.

Li Jiancheng smiled disapprovingly and said, "It was Qiao Gongshan and Er Wenhuan last time, and it's the same this time. Erlang has been in the army for a long time, and he is very proficient in using this method! It's a pity that there is no idiot like Yang Wengan waiting to give it to you this time." He puts his back. The two armies are facing each other, and this kind of suspicious tactics can be effective. It is a pity that the situation in the court is different after all, and this method will not work if it is used in Chang'an!"

Li Yuanji said slowly: "Although so, I always feel that the situation is not right."

Chen Ying took a look at Li Yuanji, after all, Li Jiancheng hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem until now.On the surface, this is an ordinary case of false accusation, but it is actually very difficult for Li Shimin to prove the charges against Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.After all, what is false is false and will never be true.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji with some puzzlement.

Li Yuanji said angrily: "Soldiers are deceitful, and deceitful ones change! You can't cheat with accomplices!

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji in surprise.

Li Yuanji continued: "This is what Erlang said to me in Cijian that year. Against the same enemy, a strategy that has been used once must never be used again. Against the same enemy, use the strategy that has already been used. The strategy is tantamount to putting your head together and letting others chop it off"

Li Jiancheng lowered his head thoughtfully.

Li Yuanji said: "So it stands to reason that if Yang Wen failed in what he did the year before last, and instead made a false accusation, he should have discarded it. How could it happen again inexplicably on the eve of my expedition?"

Li Jiancheng's eyes widened, he looked at Li Yuanji carefully and said: "You can think about this level, and it is not in vain that the father and I are so kind to you. What Erlang said is right, and your consideration is also reasonable. But in the final analysis, the battlefield is the battlefield, and the court is the court..."

Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, Chen Ying said with a smile: "Have you ever thought about it, if His Highness Prince Qin set up an ambush in the palace to assassinate the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Qi, then if he succeeds, to say something disrespectful, once the Crown Prince and King Qi encounter disasters?" , the dead cannot justify right and wrong!"

Li Jiancheng said dumbfounded: "No way, Erlang would be so bold?"

But Li Yuanji said: "The third brother-in-law is right, the second brother has been fascinated, there is nothing he dare not do!"

Li Jiancheng still didn't believe it.

Chen Ying explained: "Your Highness, why don't you think about it. If it weren't for this, and the truth will be revealed in a confrontation tomorrow, would Your Majesty tolerate a king of Qin who destroys the reputation of the harem as a means?"

Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded.

He has no way to explain this, because once Li Yuan finds out that Li Shimin made the false accusation, he will definitely not let Li Shimin go. That is to say, it is fine to falsely accuse other crimes. This is Li Yuan's taboo and Li Yuan's rebellion.

If you touch it, you will die.

Li Jiancheng's face became serious.

The problem before Li Jiancheng is a choice, but he has no choice.Knowing that there is an ambush in Xuanwu Sect, if you go to Taiji Palace, you will definitely be caught by yourself.

But if you don't go, then Li Shimin will be accused of adultery between Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Concubine Yin De.This is a fundamentally unsolvable decision. No matter what choice Li Jiancheng makes, his opportunity has been lost, and it is a dead end.

As time passed by, Chen Ying paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.A maid brought tea to Li Jiancheng and Wei Ting. Wei Ting picked up the tea and put it down slowly.

Li Jiancheng walked to Chen Ying's side, and said with a wry smile, "Jiangcheng has made the general embarrassing!"

Chen Ying smiled awkwardly.

Li Jiancheng said: "There are some things that are not what you want. I also ask General Chen to stay out of it."

Chen Ying was slightly taken aback, looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise, and said, "Chen...thought...that the crown prince was going to serve His Highness.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Everyone has difficulties, and everyone's life is difficult. Let's be considerate to each other."

Chen Ying said to Li Jiancheng with emotion: "His Royal Highness, since you say so, Chen Ying can't just stand by and watch!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying strangely and said, "You..."

Li Jiancheng is also very strange. His struggle with Li Shimin is now when the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.

In fact, the last thing Chen Ying wants to see is that the throne of the Tang Dynasty is transferred in this bloody way, and the entire Li and Tang courts will continue to be bloody and entangled in the future.Later, Li Shimin's sons were still fighting to the death. Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke all died of injustice, and Datang also fell into greater turmoil because of it.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Come on, please come here, princess!"

After a short time, Li Xiuning came here with all her clothes on, and Li Jiancheng was shocked when he saw Li Xiuning's heroic appearance and no signs of illness.

"Mistress, you!"

Li Xiuning waved his hand and said, "Da Lang, don't ask any more questions, I will explain to you later when I have time!"

Li Jiancheng smiled wryly.

In fact, when Li Xiuning first started pretending to be sick, Li Xiuning simply wanted to take advantage of her illness to make Li Yuan feel compassionate, so that Chen Ying could escape from the battle for the heir apparent.But unexpectedly, because of Li Xiuning's illness, Li Shimin completely forgot the existence of Li Xiuning.

So, now Li Xiuning has become a key weight in the balance of war.

At this time, behind Li Xiuning was not only He Yueer, but also Li Daozhen in military uniform. Li Jiancheng watched Li Xiuning come in, and said slowly, "Sanniang, you are..."

"Time is too tight, we don't have much time to waste!" Li Xiuning pointed to He Yue'er, who understood, and hurriedly took a huge map and spread it out on the table.

He Yue'er explained to Li Jiancheng, Chen Ying, Wei Ting and others: "It was a very coincidental chance that the Hong Niangzi (Yuwen Zhaoyi) in Yuanzhou sent a "human stick" to our house."

The human stick is a very cruel punishment. It cuts off the limbs, gouges out the eyes, cuts off the tongue, cuts off the limbs, deafens the ears, and leaves only the body.

Li Jiancheng couldn't help frowning, he really wanted to ask who was so cruel, but He Yue'er continued: "This person is none other than Wang Shichong's puppet minister Youcheng Yuwen Rutong, although Yuwen Rutong is deaf He also had his tongue cut off and his eyes gouged out, but he still had a mouth and could write with a pen. He brought us an amazing news. He claimed that his father's tomb had been dug up, and The map of Daxing Palace City and Taiji Palace left by father Yu Wenkai was stolen."

Li Jiancheng's eyes suddenly fell on the map in He Yue'er's hand, and he suddenly discovered that it was actually a map of Tai Chi Palace.

He Yue'er laughed and said, "Yu Wenkai left more than one copy of the map of the Taiji Palace. This copy is just a sketch when it was not built, and it is probably not much different from the map!"

Li Xiuning pointed to the map and said: "If Erlang wants to ambush in the palace, the Xuanwu Gate Square is too empty. Although he has Chang He's inner support, the palace guard is not a Chang He who can be restrained. From ambush to mobilization, it is not possible to disturb the palace." It's simply impossible!"

Chen Ying really didn't know much about the internal situation of Tai Chi Palace, after all, he was just a foreign minister, not as detailed as Li Xiuning and Li Jiancheng.

Li Xiuning continued: "If Erlang wants to lay an ambush, the only place is here!"

Chen Ying looked in the direction of Li Xiuning's finger and exclaimed, "Linhu Hall?"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "That's right. There is one general and two Zhonglang generals in the Xuanwumen camp. Chang He can only control one-third of the troops. The only thing he can do is change the defense of Xuanwumen at midnight." At that time, Erlang's ambush soldiers entered the Xuanwu Gate, but two hours later, at three quarters of Yin time, Chang He's troops had to change their defenses. Once they changed their defenses, the ambush soldiers hiding in Xuanwu Gate would definitely be discovered... The only place where Erlang could hide his ambush soldiers was It can only be in the Linhu Palace, the imperial road on the west side of the Linhu Palace, where there is water on one side and pavilions and forest platforms on the other, it is an excellent place to set up an ambush."

If Li Shimin was here, he would be extremely surprised, because Li Xiuning's speculation was exactly the same as Li Shimin's arrangement.

In fact, it is very easy to calculate that Linhu Palace is located between the East Palace and Taiji Palace, facing the Taiye Pond. It is the palace where Li Yuan escapes the heat in summer, enjoys lotus flowers by the lake, and fishes. Basically, it will not be used in winter, and no one will. Pay attention here.

Li Xiuning judged that Li Shimin would definitely ambush his soldiers here, because although the Linhu Hall is only more than 12 steps long, 800 steps wide, and covers an area of ​​about 2830.3 square meters, although it is not large, it secretly hides 1492.1 thousand children in the Linhu Hall. People are not a problem. (To make a digression, Tang Taiji Palace is really big, 420 meters wide from east to west, [-] meters wide from north to south, covering an area of ​​[-] million square meters, about [-] mu)

Li Xiuning said: "Tomorrow morning, the crown prince will go back to Chang'an first, and then he will join King Qi and enter the palace along the Xuanwu gate. In the east palace, there should be someone who is similar in stature to Dalang!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Yes!"

"It's the best, so let's pretend to be fake!" Li Xiuning pointed to the road map and said: "Tomorrow, the fake prince and the fake king of Qi will go the same way as planned. One step from Chengtianmen to Taiji Palace!"

Li Xiuning's plan is actually to try not to bleed as much as possible, it's best not to die.

However, this idea is very naive.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "There is another place, didn't His Royal Highness think of it?"

"East Palace?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's right, it's the East Palace!"

"What's so difficult about this!" Li Xiuning said with a smile: "Let He Yue'er enter the palace and tell His Majesty that the palace's deadline is approaching, and if you want to see Chengdao and Chengqian's nephew for the last time, let the princes of Qi and the princes of Qin My son, and Dalang's sons, came to Qinglin overnight!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's fine!"

Li Xiuning looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Da Lang, there is one thing you must promise me!"

"What?" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning suspiciously and asked.

Li Xiuning sighed and said, "It's the bottom line that the wife and children are worse than the disaster!"

……

In the imperial study room of Taiji Palace, Pei Ji walked to the door of the imperial study room, but heard the sound of objects being smashed inside.

The servants at the door were all terrified and did not dare to speak aloud.

Pei Ji walked into the imperial study.

Li Yuan was holding a sword, sitting on the table and panting heavily.

In the imperial study room, the floor was in a mess.

Pei Ji: "Why is Your Majesty getting angry?
Li Yuan threw the sword to the corner of the wall, then put his hands on the table, bowed his head and said nothing.

After a long time, Li Yuan still told Pei Ji about Li Shimin reporting Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Yin Defei's affair.

Pei Ji said with a face full of horror: "What the King of Qin said is too unbelievable, the old minister really can't believe it."

Li Yuan gasped and said: "If this matter is true or not, you can tell if you ask. If Erlang speaks nonsense, this son... I will not want it."

Pei Ji sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it's about the face of the royal family. Don't make a big fuss about it. Whether it's dealing with the crown prince or the king of Qin tomorrow, you can't do it in this name. Asking evidence tomorrow, idlers, etc. should be screened."

Li Yuan tensed his face and nodded heavily.

At this moment, Chen Qi, the Zhongchang attendant, scrambled into the imperial study room and shouted in fear: "Your Majesty, something is not right..."

Li Yuan looked at Chen Qi with a sharp gaze, and Chen Qi was furiously stared at by Li Yuan, crying: "Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang!"

Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he said anxiously: "What's wrong with Pingyang?"

Chen Qi choked up and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang sent her maid to enter the palace to ask to see Your Majesty. The time limit for Your Highness is approaching..."

Li Yuan only felt a buzzing in his head, and instantly lost his hearing, and staggered to sit on the throne.

Pei Ji hurriedly said: "What's going on, didn't you get better the day before yesterday?"

"Your servant does not know!" Chen Qi pointed to the direction outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, my servant does not know either. Princess Pingyang's maid is waiting at the door!"

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Quick pass!"

He Yue'er entered the imperial study room fifteen minutes later and bowed to Li Yuan.

At this time, He Yue'er's face was full of tears, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had already cried.

Li Yuan stared at He Yue'er and said, "How is San Niang?"

He Yue'er said pitifully: "His Royal Highness is coming to an end, and her life is not long. The only thing she is worried about is Cheng Dao, Cheng Qian and other nephews. Her Highness wants His Majesty to grant her permission to see some nephews again." ,niece……"

Speaking of this, He Yue'er broke down in tears.

Li Yuan hurriedly walked to his case, picked up a pen and sketched it hastily, then handed it to He Yueer and said: "Now you take my handbook and go to the East Palace, Qi Wang Mansion, Qin Wang Mansion, and all the direct descendants of the Wang Mansions, All go to Qinglin to see you!"

He Yue'er was overjoyed, and then said: "His Royal Highness also hopes that His Majesty can bury Her Royal Highness with military ceremonies!"

Li Yuan said with a sad face: "I'm sure!"

……

In the school grounds of King Qin's Mansion, all the guards of King Qin's Mansion stood silently in the school grounds. They didn't light torches, but they were all in armor, their bows and crossbows were stringed, and the cold light was shining.

Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde and others led the horses and waited in the yard.

Li Shimin rode his horse and walked up to the crowd, only to find that the grandson Wugou was wearing armor and also leading the horse, standing at the end of the queue heroically.

Li Shimin was startled, dismounted and walked in front of Changsun Wugou.Said in a deep voice: "Guanyin maidservant, this trip is dangerous and unpredictable, you should stay in the mansion and take care of the children."

The eldest grandson Wugou shook his head, looked at Li Shimin with firm eyes and smiled and said, "My concubine is like every lord, following the king to go out, regardless of victory or defeat, life and death are equal."

Li Shimin's Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he was trying to suppress the intense and turbulent emotions in his chest. He didn't say anything, but shook Changsun Jiluo's hand secretly, then turned around, and strode towards his own war horse with a straight back Perseverance.

At this moment, a member of the Huang family shouted at the gate of Prince Qin's mansion: "Princess Qin accepts the order!"

Li Shimin was taken aback.
