Chapter [-] Big Brother Let Little Brother One Last Time

Li Xiuning sat and walked slowly towards the Taiji Palace, while Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji dressed up as soldiers, standing on the left and right sides of Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you see Wei Xuancheng at such a critical moment?"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's face changed greatly: "It's broken!"

Li Xiuning asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Three days ago, Ling Jing claimed that he always used the secret method to pickle a jar of vinegared celery, and invited Wei Zheng to taste it!" Li Jiancheng said with a gloomy face: "Since then, Wei Zheng has not been heard from, so Ling Jing, Betrayed the palace!"

Li Yuanji curled his lips and said: "Ling Jing is Dou Jiande's confidant, if the second child puts Dou Jiande's death on your head, it will be no wonder Ling Jing doesn't betray him!"

Li Jiancheng smiled wryly and said: "How could Dou Jiande's death be related to me? I have repeatedly pleaded with His Majesty on his behalf, but His Majesty won't allow it!"

Li Yuanji said: "Second brother has no other skills, but his ability to turn black and white is not small. Ling Jing must have betrayed you!"

Li Xiuning gave Li Yuanji a hard look.

Li Yuanji shrank his head and stopped talking.

Li Jiancheng said worriedly: "Although Wang Jun said that he is quite similar to Bengong, but Chang He and Bengong are old acquaintances, how can they escape his eyes?"

Li Xiuning shook her head and said: "Da Lang, you have to have confidence in Yue'er's disguise technique. Back then, when she made up Bengong into a sickly face, did you and Dad ever find out?"

Li Jian was speechless at the beginning. At the beginning, he really didn't notice Li Xiuning's abnormality, and he really thought that Li Xiuning's time was approaching.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "I'm not worried. Cen Wenwen's elder brother, Cen Wenshu, is very similar to me. With a little makeup, Concubine Yang may not be able to tell the truth from the fake. Castrated!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji in surprise, really wondering what was going on in his head.

Seeing Li Jiancheng looking at himself, Li Yuanji hurriedly explained: "Brother, you don't know, this Uncle Cen Wen looks too much like me. If Concubine Yang recognizes the wrong person, wouldn't it damage my blood? No, absolutely. Castrate him!"

Li Xiuning couldn't help but sighed and said, "I don't know what happened to Father!"

……

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, Wang Yan and Cen Wenyue dressed up as Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji respectively, and walked slowly towards the Xuanwu Gate with their personal guards.

Wang Yan was nervous for a while, but Uncle Cen Wen dressed as Li Yuanji was more natural.

The Xuanwu Gate slowly opened from the inside.

Chang He walked out of the door with a large group of Imperial Guard soldiers.

Uncle Cen Wen reined in his horse's head, frowned and said, "Today the guard of the Xuanwu Gate should be Jing Junhong. Why can't he be seen? What's the matter with Chang He here? It's the emperor's order to change the rotation." ?”

Chang He felt guilty and dared not look "Li Jiancheng" in the eyes, bowed his head and clasped his fists in salute: "The last general is wearing armor, so he can't give the full salute to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Wang Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face, "It's okay. Isn't General Jun Hong on duty for the forbidden army today? Why are you standing here?"

Chang He said nervously: "Reporting to Your Highness, Lao Jing is on duty at the north gate today. He stayed here last night as a guard, and now he is withdrawing from the team. He has gone to lecture and eat, and he will be back in a while. The last general is on duty today. Therefore, Here! Your Highness and King Qi please show your badges.

Wang Yan nodded, took out a gold-inlaid bronze medal from his pocket, and asked again: "Does Your Majesty have morning classes?"

Chang He's tone was a bit distorted, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to have a morning class today, and he was promoted to the Liangyi Hall half an hour ago. The ministers came earlier than the two Highnesses, and should have already entered by now." |
Uncle Cen Wen can confirm that, as expected, the palace has already been troubled.

The two looked at each other in the air.

Wang Yan asked, "Which courtiers have already entered?"

Chang He's hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.Although he was ordered to break into the East Palace, he has been in love with Li Jiancheng for a long time. Li Jiancheng has always been kind to him, which can be regarded as a kind encounter. Now Li Jiancheng is about to die.

Chang He was very entangled in whether to tell Li Jiancheng and let him get out of this trap.As long as Li Jiancheng turns around and returns now, nothing will happen to him.

However, thinking of his oath of allegiance to Li Shimin back then, Chang He just suppressed this thought.

Chang He bowed and said: "Pei Xiangguo, Xiao Xianggong, Feng Xianggong, Yang Xianggong, Chen Xianggong and Yuwen Xianggong have all gone in, and there is also Zhongshu Sheng, the Zhongshu Sheren Yan Shi who went in with him. Gu. Your Majesty issued a special decree to the last general last night. Today, he will only meet the crown prince and the prime ministers of the kings in the Hall of Liangyi, and the other ministers will be exempted from the pilgrimage."

Uncle Cen Wen said without any pretense: "What about King Qin?"

Chang He replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin came a moment earlier than the two Highnesses. He came alone, without any guards, only Changsun Langzhong, and a seventh-rank official whom he didn't know were by his side. They have all gone in now. , I’m afraid I haven’t arrived at Liangyi Hall yet.”

Uncle Cen Wen finally showed a relaxed smile, and led the horse into the Xuanwu Gate.

Wang Yan followed Uncle Cen Wen, and a group of guards also filed in.

Chang He waved.

The soldiers slowly closed the Xuanwu Gate.

……

Gao Shilian arrived at the gate of the death cell in Yeting Palace with a group of guards from the Palace of Qin.

A jailer came up to him and said, "Who stop!"

Gao Shilian waved his hand, and the guards of the Qin Palace behind him raised their bows and arrows.

The prison guards usually suppress the prisoners in the prison, but it is too bad to fight in the streets with the army. The light bow and low-quality sword in his hand were hacking at the well-equipped Qin Palace guards, as if they were tickling them.

Although the guards of King Qin's Palace and the prison guards of the Heavenly Prison were equal in number, they fought for only a quarter of an hour, and hundreds of jailers were either killed or surrendered on their knees.

Gao Shilian saw that the overall situation was settled, and the guards of the Qin Palace successfully took down the Heaven Prison of Yeting Palace.

Gao Shilian said with a smile: "Open the prison door and release all the criminals."

A large number of guards and soldiers of Prince Qin's Mansion filed in, rushed into the sky prison, and opened the cells one by one with the head of the cell.

The death row prisoners poured out of their cells one after another, and were driven into the center of the city by the guards of Prince Qin's residence.

Gao Shilian stood on a high place, overlooking the prisoners.

Gao Shilian was born after the Gao family of the Northern Qi royal family, and was the grandson of Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty.He has been familiar with scriptures and history since childhood.At this time, Li Shimin's troops were stretched thin, and Gao Shilian naturally thought of using the method of arming prisoners as an army.

Of course, this is not Gao Shilian's innovative invention. As early as the late period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu avoided his own mistakes for Prince Wei and began to clean up the power of the Wei family group to prevent the Wei family from becoming the leader of the big Han like the Lu family and the Dou family. Domineering relatives, domineering.

It's a pity that Liu Ju didn't understand Liu Che's painstaking efforts, so he took the risk and led his troops to rebel.Thus triggered the most tragic bloodshed since the disaster of witchcraft.Liu Ju didn't have any soldiers at that time, so he relied on the criminals who arrived in the prison from Chang'an County, issued them armed, and asked them to serve as soldiers.As a result, this was the same as Zhang Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty leading the prisoners in Lishan, defeating the generals of the Han army under the command of Zuo Prime Minister Liu Quyu.If Liu Che hadn't come forward to order the Great Han and Northern Army to dispatch, Liu Ju would not have been defeated.

Standing on the prison wall, Gao Shilian looked at the prisoners and said loudly: "I know that you people are either in the mansion and your hands and feet are dishonest, or you are not doing your best in serving errands. Sent to Yeting to do hard labor. After entering Yeting, you will be exhausted until you vomit blood, and you will never see it again in this life. When you see the sun again. Most of you probably don’t know me. My name is Gao Shilian is the uncle of Concubine Qin, the governor of Yongzhou, and the Duke of Anyang in the imperial court. Today, according to the instruction of King Qin, he wants to lead the army to calm the chaos. I have ordered people to open the arsenal of the palace. One of you, pick up a guy who is handy Take it, and follow the old man to calm the chaos. As long as you are willing to work hard, after today's incident is over, the old man will definitely report to the King of Qin and simply pardon you, and all of you will be enrolled in the army and find a family background. If there is anyone who doesn't work hard, The old man doesn't need to tell His Highness, just cut it off!"

The death row prisoners looked at each other, and quickly raised their hands and shouted, "I'm going! I'm going!"

Looking at this scene, Gao Shilian was overjoyed.

In just half an hour, he had obtained more than three thousand prisoner soldiers.

With a wave of Gao Shilian's hand, dozens of carts entered slowly.

These carts are loaded with a large number of weapons and armor.

These prisoners were distributed immediately, those who put on their armors, those who drew their horizontal knives drew their knives, everyone was gearing up, eager to move, ready to follow the king of Qin, Li Shimin, to become a dragon.

At this moment, the ground trembled slightly.

"Boom..." heavy footsteps sounded.

Gao Shilian followed the prestige, and saw hundreds of heavy infantrymen wearing bright armor and carrying mo knives appeared at the end of the long street. These heavy infantrymen, like human tanks, came stepping forward.

Gao Shilian looked at the front of the group of human tanks, and he was the first to wear a bright red cloak and a silver mask on his face, but his figure did not seem to be a man.

A thought popped into his head, could it be Princess Pingyang?
Thinking of this, Gao Shilian couldn't help but his liver and gallbladder split.

Almost at the same time, the four alleys and eight lanes of the long street heard the sound of stepping one after another, and these sounds were uniform.A full 2000 people came with crossbows.

These archers have already opened their crossbows, and their frighteningly sharp arrowheads have already been inserted into the arrow slots, pointing straight at the prison city of Yeting Palace, a cold bloodthirsty atmosphere swept across the city, terrified Gao Shilian and the guards of the Qin Palace. The faces of the army, including those prisoners who were preparing to make meritorious deeds and become a dragon, all changed.

The heroic female general on the horse slowly lifted her mask. It was none other than Li Daozhen. Li Daozhen looked at the prisoners and said, "Put down your weapons and go back to your cell, or you will be shot!"

Gao Shilian was relieved when he saw that the person who came was not Li Xiuning, Princess of Pingyang.

However, watching these prisoners put up their weapons one after another and return to their cell, Gao Shilian sighed.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

The soldiers of the Modao Army under Chen Ying's command are famous all over the world, and one of them is worth a hundred.

Especially in the face of mobs like Qin Wangfu's guards and these prisoners, unless the strength of the soldiers of the Modao army is exhausted, it is difficult to affect them in any way.

Li Daozhen looked at Gao Shilian and said, "Gao Zhizhong, don't make me rough!"

Gao Shilian smiled wryly, and slowly walked down from the prison wall.

……

A group of Xuanjia soldiers from Prince Qin's Palace escorted Li Yuan, who was wrapped in a quilt, walking slowly.

Li Yuan looked at the guards of the Qin Palace around him, earnestly persuading everyone to be loyal to him, the emperor, and defect.Li Yuan was both an official and a wish, but Xuanjia Cavalry was the most loyal part of Li Shimin, they didn't listen to Li Yuan's words at all.

Li Yuan was angry and helpless.

At this time, a young general looked at Li Yuan with a contemptuous smile and said: "Your Majesty, don't waste your saliva. If you knew today, why bother! The last general was originally a hereditary Duke, and His Majesty once had an imperial edict , the family members of the last general will be expelled from their names and memberships, and will never be used!

The smile on Li Yuan's face gradually disappeared, and he said coldly, "Who are you?"

Liu Shuyi bowed and said: "Liu Shuyi, the last general, as the Son of Heaven, His Majesty is the prime minister, so he will never forget the offending minister's son!"

Li Yuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Although Liu Shuyi couldn't be remembered by Li Yuan, Liu Shuyi has grown up after six years, but he has a bit of his father's demeanor.Li Yuan still felt strange, he felt so familiar to him.

At the beginning, when Pei Ji wrote to impeach Liu Wenjing for treason, Li Yuan followed suit and killed Liu Wenjing on trumped-up charges without interrogation or evidence.

Because, at that time, the Tang Dynasty could have no King Qin, but Li Jiancheng was definitely not possible.

If Li Jiancheng hadn't reached an agreement with the Hedong and Guanzhong clans, and the Hedong and Guanzhong clans would provide money and personnel to arm an army of [-], Datang would not have been able to overcome this hurdle.

Liu Wenjing used his protégés and old officials to build momentum for Li Shimin and confuse the court to abolish the prince and replace him with the king of Qin, so at that time, Liu Wenjing had to die.

Li Yuan thought that Li Shimin was actually using Liu Wenjing's son to spy on him, and suddenly there were layers of cold sweat on his forehead, and he was terrified.

He was really afraid that Liu Shuyi would kill him with a knife, and Li Shimin would kill Liu Shuyi in a hypocritical manner to avenge himself.

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Yuan calmly: "Your Majesty has never seen King Qin on the battlefield with his own eyes, did you see it today?"

Protected by a group of soldiers, Li Yuan slowly approached the viewing platform of Linhu Palace.

The cold wind blew, and Li Yuan couldn't help shivering.

However, look down along the viewing platform.

At this time, "Li Jiancheng" and Li Yuanji in the distance were unsuspectingly walking slowly along the palace road of Linhu Palace.

The guards around Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had less than 200 people.

Li Yuan looked at this scene, and shouted heart-piercingly: "Dalang, Shiro, run...there is an ambush!"

Changsun Wuji laughed out loud when he heard this.

The distance was too far, even if Li Yuan yelled, it was useless.

Changsun Wuji let Li Yuan watch Li Shimin kill Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng in order to attack his heart and let Li Yuan understand that since Li Shimin can kill his brother for the sake of the throne, it is not impossible to kill his father. Only in this way will Li Yuan compromise.

……

In Linhu Hall, the originally closed windows suddenly opened.

Li Shimin rode out slowly.Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji didn't seem to feel any danger, and continued to move forward.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Brother, fourth brother, where are you going?"

Uncle Cen Wen pretended to be panicked and took off his bow and arrow.

Li Shimin rode his horse towards Li Jiancheng.

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth. When Li Yuanji's arrow flew in front of him, he waved the longbow in his hand and flicked it casually.The arrow swirled past Li Shimin's ear.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin in a daze.

Li Shimin bent his bow and took aim at Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin said: "Brother, since you were young, you have always let me go. Today, let me let you go again."

With that said, Li Shimin raised his bow and arrow, and slowly wound it.

At this moment, Wang Yan hastily stretched out his hand to touch his face, following the sound of Sisi Lala.

Wang Yan regained his face.

Li Shimin was taken aback, looked at Wang Jun and asked, "Who are you?"

Uncle Cen Wen also recovered his face.

Watching this scene, Li Shimin shook his horse twice and almost fell down.

PS: I'm very sorry, Lao Cheng broke his promise last night. He agreed to two updates of 05 words, but in the end there was only one update. There was no other way. I couldn't hold on any longer, so I lay down on the table and fell asleep for a while.Continue to work hard today.
