Chapter 47 Xuanwu Gate

In the early morning of Gengshen Day on the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude.

The central door of King Qin Tiance's mansion was wide open, and Li Shimin, dressed in royal clothes, led a group of generals out of the mansion.

There was a faint trace of nervousness on the faces of everyone, Li Shimin looked around at the generals behind him, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yuwen Shiji, Hou Junji, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin and others, basically It has already accounted for half of the combat power of King Qin's Tiance Mansion.

Li Shimin nodded to Cheng Yaojin, the guard behind him, got on his horse with everyone, and headed towards the palace.

The King of Qin was born in the army, he never liked red tape, he always travels lightly, he doesn't like publicity, he rarely uses the halogen book, today is His Majesty's call, and he should act in a low-key manner.

The group was speechless all the way, and when they arrived at the Linhu Hall, Cheng Yaojin drove forward and said softly to King Qin Li Shimin, "Your Highness, there is something abnormal here, you need to be careful."

Li Shimin grinned, "It would be wrong if there is no abnormality. If the crown prince doesn't make trouble at this time, it will be difficult to have a chance to make trouble."

"Your Highness, you should be more careful. After all, swords have no eyes." Cheng Yaojin said.

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin and said with a smile, "Do you know why I brought you into the court today but not Yuchigong?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, "Your Highness naturally has His Highness's considerations, but it's not something the general can easily guess."

"Everyone says that Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, is a messy and unreasonable person. But you, Cheng Zhijie, are a character who is all-round and exquisite." Li Shimin said, "Although Yu Chigong is brave and loyal, but after all Born in the land of Yanzhao, it is different from Shandong heroes like you."

"Although I haven't been squeezed out, I'm always alone, so in order to keep my position in the Qin Palace, I always have to do everything first, so it seems reckless and unscheming, but in fact it is quite calculating."

"For today's matter, if I bring him here for the sake of merit, then Heitantou will definitely spoil my calculations, and it will not be beautiful at that time."

Cheng Yaojin remained silent, he and Heitantou belonged to colleagues, but it was not easy to comment.

There are only a handful of people in the Tiance Mansion of the King of Qin who can hold Heitan's head. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others have said that he cannot beat him, and Qin Qiong, the second brother of Qin, can beat him, but he is injured , has rarely used force now.

The others behind the two seemed to have sensed the abnormal atmosphere around them, and they all looked around vigilantly, with their hands already on the hilt of their swords.

"What should your Highness do now?" Changsun Wuji drove forward and asked Li Shimin, "Is it because the crown prince has not arrived yet? If so, why don't we set up an ambush first?"

Li Shimin said with a smile, "It is impossible for the crown prince to be such a waste. His subordinates Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche, and Feng Li are not easy to get along with. At this time, the situation is calm, and there is nothing more than a bigger disturbance brewing."

While talking, a cold arrow went straight to Li Shimin's face from the side.

The generals didn't have time to warn, they saw Li Shimin crawling on the horse and rushing towards Xuanwu Gate.

For a moment, everyone was a little flustered, and hurriedly drove the war horses under their crotches to chase after Li Shimin in the direction where Li Shimin disappeared.

Hearing a whistle, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji turned out from the Linhu Hall, and saw Li Yuanji wearing a battle armor, holding a bow in his hand, and a horse on his back, and then shot a cloud-piercing arrow towards the sky Immediately, hundreds of soldiers from the Changlin Army surged up all around, and surrounded the generals of Tiance Mansion.

"Now go to His Highness first, after I'm done, you break through quickly." Cheng Yaojin roared, motioning everyone to leave first.

The crowd no longer hesitated, and under the charge of Zhang Gongjin and Hou Junji, they opened a gap and rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate.

Seeing this, Yao Jin took off the Xuanhua ax hanging beside the horse, drove the horse towards the soldiers surrounded by the Changlin army, and rushed over. With a swing of the axe, several soldiers of the Changlin army were cut in two , Another wave forced back several sergeants who came forward to besiege.

This is a battle-tested veteran who understands the principle of taking the lead. How could the Changlin Army's cockroaches and thieves be able to resist the fierceness of the battlefield?

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's bravery, everyone in Chang Lin's army flinched.

Li Yuanji yelled, "Don't get entangled with him, hurry to Xuanwu Gate and kill Qin Wang Li Shimin."

The Changming army immediately divided into two parts, one group surrounded Cheng Yaojin and dared not go forward, and the other group quickly chased and killed Li Shimin in the direction where Li Shimin was leaving.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji got on their horses and ran towards the Xuanwu Gate, leaving only Cheng Yaojin rushing left and right in the Linhu Hall, but it was difficult to kill him.

Jian Jian and Yuanji rushed to the outside of Xuanwu Gate to see the Tian Ce of Prince Qin's Mansion. The generals surrounded Li Shimin through Xuanwu Gate and headed towards Wude Hall.

Changsun Wuji's mournful cry was heard from a distance, "The arrow is poisonous, King Qin may not be able to last for a long time, so go to the Hall of Martial Virtue and seek His Majesty's protection."

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Yuanji when he heard the words, and seeing Li Yuanji's eyes beaming with joy, he couldn't help but said to himself excitedly, "Brother, my bow and arrow have quenched the arrow poison from the Nanman. Escape to death."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's very good, you go and attack the Qin Palace together with Xue Wanche, and the big thing is settled. I will take people to the Wude Hall to have a look, and I still have to give an explanation to the Queen Mother."

After finishing speaking, he drove the war horse under his crotch, and galloped like the wind through the Xuanwu Gate towards the Wude Hall.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Jiancheng's back, wanted to pick up the bow several times to shoot an arrow, but finally let it down again, the timing was not enough, if Li Jiancheng was killed at this moment, the soldiers behind him would definitely disperse, today Entering the palace, but most of his cronies are supporting from the outside. I don't know if Li Jiancheng believes it, but he still looks down on the few crooked melons under him.

Forget it, let Li Jiancheng bear the crime of killing his brothers first, and then contact the aristocratic family to completely ruin his reputation. In this way, the wicked will do it, and I will pick the fruit.

Li Yuanji said to the lieutenant behind him, "Tell Xue Shi, the guard, to take my troops from Prince Qi's Mansion to support Xue Wanche. Today, we must break through King Qin's Tiance Mansion, kill the second son's heirs, cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so as to protect Xue Wanche." There will be no future troubles."

The lieutenant bowed his head to accept the order, turned around and headed towards Prince Qin's mansion.

Li Yuanji didn't plan to go to King Qin's Tiance Mansion by himself, because Xue Wanche was there, and the two disliked each other, Xue Wanche only obeyed the order of Prince Jiancheng, if he went there, he would only be making fun of himself.

Second, he wanted to see with his own eyes how Li Jiancheng faced his father in the hall. Now that King Qin was dead, it was time for him to fight for the throne with Prince Li Jiancheng. It was also a good choice to give Li Jiancheng some eye drops in advance.

Just as he was about to pass through the Xuanwu Gate, he saw a fully-clothed general leading a pair of men and horses turn out from the edge of the Xuanwu Gate, closing the Xuanwu Gate and guarding the gate firmly.

"Chang He, what do you mean?" Li Yuanji frowned, "Why do you want to block my way? Who gave you the courage?"

The general on the opposite side was Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, and he heard Chang He say, "By His Majesty's order, the Xuanwu Gate will be closed. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy."

"Bold!" Li Yuanji yelled at Chang He, "You, a little guard, can stop this king from entering the palace. Didn't Wei Zheng tell you? If you spoil the plan of the prince and this king today , it will definitely make you unable to eat and walk around."

"The salary of eating the king is a matter of loyalty to the king. His Royal Highness King Qi offended today."

Li Yuanji glanced at Chang He resentfully, turned around and said to the soldiers behind him, "Break the door for this king, and whoever takes Chang He's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold."

Chang He heard the words, looked up to the sky and smiled, "His Royal Highness, attacking the Xuanwu Gate is regarded as conspiracy, have you thought about it?"

"Aren't you just a watchdog of my royal family? If I give you face and call you a general, do you really think you are someone?" Li Yuanji said, "Attack, today the king must use your dog's head to accompany wine !"

The soldiers behind Li Yuanji rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate like a tide.
