First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 453 Change of Changlin Gate
...

Everyone looked around and saw the white cat lying on the ground, its eyes were wide open, and the unfinished piece of fish was in the corner of its mouth.

"Hey, cat, what's the matter with you?" Gao Chong was "horrified" immediately, lay down on the ground to look, then got up and shouted loudly: "It's poisonous, this freshwater fish is poisonous, everyone, don't eat it."

Li Yuanji's face changed drastically, "Gao Youzhi, don't talk nonsense."

"Look, everyone, this cat died after eating half of the fish meat," Gao Chong said angrily, and then he kept on talking nonchalantly, "Prince, do you want to poison everyone here?"

Li Jiancheng turned pale with shock, and quickly denied it: "No, it is absolutely impossible, you don't want to talk nonsense."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became tense.

"Gao Chong, how dare you talk nonsense, maybe your cat is already sick," Li Yuanji said eagerly.

Everyone heard the words and felt that there was some truth. How dare Li Jiancheng poison and kill everyone here.

Gao Chong laughed out of breath, raised the wine glass in front of Li Shimin, and handed it to Li Yuanji.

"If King Qi dares to drink this glass of wine, I, Gao Chong, will apologize to you and will not be an official for the rest of my life. King Qi, do you dare to drink it?"

"I..." Looking at the glass of poisoned wine in front of him, Li Yuanji took a step back unconsciously, his complexion gradually distorted.

"His Royal Highness, do you dare to drink?" Gao Chong looked at Li Jiancheng who was in a panic and shouted loudly.

Everyone here is not stupid, seeing the expressions of the two, they immediately turned pale with fright.

"Brother, you, are you really poisoned?" Li Zhiyun looked at Li Jiancheng in disbelief.

"Kill", Li Yuanji suddenly jumped up, kicking the case table, "Whoever kills Li Shimin will be rewarded ten thousand times".

After the words fell, before everyone could react, fully armed soldiers rushed out of the apse.

"King Qin retreat quickly", Gao Chong reacted as early as Li Yuanji was retreating, opened the piano case and held two maces, closely guarding in front of Li Shimin.

Everyone present was shocked, even though Chai Shao and the others had courage, they had no weapons or armor, so they had no choice but to avoid danger as soon as possible.

Only Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong and Li Zhiyun, in a rage, picked up the desk and wine pot and threw them at the soldiers.

"Retreat to Changlin Gate", Gao Chong knocked over a soldier rushing forward with a mace, and picked up the horizontal knife that fell on the ground to Li Daoxuan, "The King of Huaiyang took the knife".

Li Daoxuan was brave, and after receiving the knife, he rushed to the front screaming, "You dare to rebel, you will die."

Li Shimin was unarmed and would not fight impulsively. He made a decisive decision and decided to rush out first, so that the protection of Gao Chong and others would be meaningful, and immediately went straight to the gate of the palace.

Gao Chong and Li Daoxuan stood behind him and tried to stop him side by side. After the panic, Chai Shao, Duan Lun and others also picked up weapons on the ground to stop him. Several people present were brave and fought side by side in this hall. Time is difficult to break through.

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to leave the palace, Li Yuanji was in a hurry, grabbed a horizontal knife and chased after him, "Li Shimin, stop going."

"King Qin, let's go", Duan Lun's eyes were sharp, and he stepped forward to stop Li Yuanji, "King Qi, you are rebelling, stop quickly."

"Duan Lun, step back quickly, I will protect you to be promoted to a noble rank." Li Yuanji swung his knife and slashed Duan Lun back.

Duan Lun was famous for his chivalry when he was a young man, and Li Yuanji was so shocked that his mouth was numb.

"Everyone retreat while fighting, go to Changlin Gate, the saint will be there soon," Gao Chong shouted.

The two maces in his hands are powerful, but the armored soldiers arranged by Li Yuanji are also elite soldiers. Gao Chong and others are no match for four hands. .

"You won't succeed." Seeing that Li Shimin had already run out of the hall, Duan Lun yelled through gritted teeth, and slashed at Li Yuanji with his knife.

Everyone retreated while beating, and quickly withdrew from the Ganlu Hall. The Liu rate of Donggong who was patrolling outside was shocked when he saw this, and stepped forward with his sword drawn.

It's just that after seeing the two sides in the battle, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, hesitating.

This guard belongs to the Prince Zuo Si Yu rate, responsible for patrolling the East Palace, not the rate of the Prince's left and right guards and the Prince's left and right internal rates that are directly under the Prince's control.

"King Qin is rebelling, stop him quickly," Li Yuanji shouted.

Li Jiancheng, who had just left the palace behind him, immediately realized, "I am alone here, and you will take down King Qin quickly."

"The prince mutinied and rebelled, tell the saint quickly." Gao Chong retreated while beating, limping, and had been stabbed in the leg, and shouted loudly: "Sue the saint, the prince mutinied, let the saint calm down the chaos quickly!" ".

In times of crisis, Gao Chong still maintains his rationality.

Although Gao Chong didn't know which group this patrol team belonged to, he knew very well that if they were asked to besiege and kill the prince, they would not obey. They certainly won't say no.

Sure enough, the patrolling guards immediately hesitated when they heard the words, not knowing how to deal with it, and a team hurriedly said: "You protect the prince, I will report to the saint."

In any case, the East Palace was in turmoil. As the guards of the East Palace, they immediately protected the crown prince and reported to the saint. This is always right.

Seeing that no one was stopping him, Li Shimin's heart relaxed, and he went straight to the Changlin Gate on the left side of the East Palace without stopping. Behind him, Li Yuanji screamed angrily and fought desperately.

Although Li Yuanji is thin and dry, with narrow forehead and pointed jaw, arched mouth and gills, it seems to be malnourished, but Li Yuanji's strength is not small, and later history records: "Strength against ten husbands".

Later, Li Yuanba, the "Living Thunder God" with a sick face, skinny face, and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks in romance novels, was created by combining Wei Wang Li Xuanba and Qi Wang Li Yuanji who died young.

Under the rage, Li Yuanji's strength increased sharply, and he slashed horizontally without any rules. Duan Lun was afraid of hurting Li Yuanji, so he didn't dare to kill him. He only cared about blocking and defending.

Li Yuanji cut the gap with the horizontal knife, and then, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he kicked Duan Lun's calf hard. With a bang, Duan Lun screamed and fell to the ground. His left leg was twisted irregularly. .

Seeing Li Shimin galloping in the empty square in front of the hall, Li Yuanji felt great hatred. He stepped forward and chopped down a patrol guard, and said in a harsh voice: "The king of Qin is making trouble, kill them quickly, and those who disobey will die."

Li Yuanji took the bow and arrow, opened the bow and set the arrow.

Seeing this, Gao Chong in the distance suddenly changed his color, and shouted loudly, "King Qin, be careful."

As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin could only hear the sound of bowstrings. Li Shimin looked back and saw that the arrow hit his shoulder, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was wearing soft armor, and the arrow got stuck in the soft armor, so the injury was not serious. .

Li Shimin hated him so much, he got up and glanced at Gao Chong and the others who were struggling to support him, and continued towards Changlin Gate.

Li Yuanji spat, picked up the quiver and continued to chase.

East Palace, Changlin Gate, gate tower.

Yuchi Gong stared intently at Leuke of the Quiver, and suddenly said: "Yizhen, the time is coming".

Cheng Zhijie stood up and stood up, "Let's go ahead of time", while preparing to go down the palace gate, he said to Li Junxian, the deputy chief of the Ma Jun: "Follow the etiquette and report to the saint".

After the words fell, Li Junxian looked at the front and said: "No, the saint Luanjia has come."
