A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 648 What happened is clear
At the Prince of Qin's Mansion, Li Shimin thanked Wang Xuanlie and Yuchi Jingde: "If it weren't for these two generals today, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the people of the world to walk out of that mansion!"

"Your Highness is so majestic and handsome, how can those young people dare to murder him?" Wang Xuanlie said with a smile.

"Those people are just a bunch of local chickens and dog ears. If brother Xuanlie hadn't stopped me, I would have pulled Li Yuanji down!"

"Your Highness, King Qi is holding a banquet and actually wants to take advantage of the opportunity to commit murder. It seems that he can't wait any longer. It's better to make a decision early." Fang Xuanling next to him said with a solemn face after hearing this.

"Yes, Your Highness, we can't delay it any longer. Now Li Yuanji has already taken action directly. If he didn't succeed this time, there's no guarantee he'll come back next time." Du Ruhui also advised.

Li Shimin's face was solemn, and he kept thinking about it in his heart, but he finally shook his head and said: "Yuan Ji has always been domineering and arrogant. This should be something he did without authorization. Let's take a look first."

Everyone listened, and even if they were unwilling, they still agreed. After all, they also know that this matter is too important, and once they take action, there is really no room for maneuver.

At the Prince of Qi's mansion, Li Jiancheng looked at the mess in front of him. The drunkenness he had just felt disappeared in an instant. He said with a grim expression, "Didn't I tell you not to do it? Why did you do it anyway?"

"Brother, if you have such a good opportunity, just kill it."

"Shut up!" Li Jiancheng shouted in a deep voice.

"Brother, how about we just send out the army without stopping?" Li Yuanji said.

"What are your plans?" the prince asked.

"Just what to do next?"

Li Jiancheng said with a gloomy face: "Since the defeat of Liu Heita, there have been two thousand warriors in the East Palace. With the support of my father, the court has been stabilized and the situation has been achieved. Now there are two thousand elites in Chang'an alone, and there are Luo Luo outside. Art echoes, how can the King of Qin compare?"

"Prince, why not clip his wings first!" Wei Zheng next to him suggested.

"You can't do this or that, what should you do?" Li Yuanji said angrily.

Li Jiancheng frowned. He knew very well that the relationship between the two parties was originally barely maintained, but now the fourth brother directly started to kill people, which was completely broken.

King Qin Li Shimin only has the guards of Tiance Mansion, with less than 200 people to mobilize.

"This is Chang'an, what are you going to do with the army?" Li Jiancheng's expression changed drastically.

"Even if you have to do it, you have to plan it carefully and not act hastily."

In Chang'an City, only Li Yuan has the ability to mobilize the army, and Li Yuan allowed Li Jiancheng to form the crown prince's guard, but these guards are not something you can mobilize at will.

No one who was ambushed and almost killed at a banquet would never give up, let alone his younger brother who had repeatedly made military exploits and was famous throughout the world.

Li Yuanji quickly calmed down.

"Brother, I know I was wrong!" Li Yuanji whispered.

"Although King Qin is powerful, it is because he has gathered a large number of talents around him. Why don't the prince write a letter asking your majesty to release the officials around King Qin."

"Either looking for charges to imprison Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, etc., or transferring them to other places. When the time comes, only the King of Qin will be left. No matter how powerful he is, what can he do if there is no one available? It will only take a few days to kill him. Just a guard."

When Li Jiancheng heard what Wei Zheng said, he suddenly felt enlightened and said immediately: "This plan is very good." Li Jiancheng received Wei Zheng's advice and wrote a letter early the next morning admonishing him to release the subordinate officials of the Qin Palace. Fang Xuan Ling and Du Ruhui were the first to bear the brunt.

The emperor ordered that the two of them were cured and left Chang'an to take up their posts. Seeing that the strategy was successful, Li Jiancheng was ready to continue his efforts.

Li Shimin immediately felt bad when he saw the officials and generals around him being released.

Li Yuan was about to submit a letter to Li Yuan about the banquet held by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to murder him. When Li Yuan saw it, he was shocked and angry, but he was worried that it was a false accusation, so he said: "I will personally interrogate this matter tomorrow. You three Everyone comes to the palace, I will question you in court!"

Li Shimin returned to Prince Qin's palace and discussed with everyone. After learning that the emperor did not believe Li Shimin's words, the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

"Your Highness, please send someone to rule immediately and secretly recall General Yuchi, General Qin, General Wang, Fang Du and others. We can't wait any longer!" Gao Shilian said.

Li Shimin also understood the urgency of the matter and quickly sent people to go. Fortunately, everyone had just left Beijing and was quickly caught up.

After learning that King Qin was planning to take action, everyone immediately disguised themselves and returned to Chang'an.

At the same time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also learned that King Qin had sued them in front of the emperor. Their faces were a little ugly, and they immediately felt guilty and panicked.

"What should I do, brother?"

"Why don't you just take action!" Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji felt guilty. After thinking for a long time, they finally decided to join forces with Concubine Li Yuan to sue Li Shimin first, and then wait until the test was passed before taking action.

Wang Xuanjing was the Crown Prince Tutor. After assuming this official position, he had always been on good terms with him, and even helped him make suggestions and help him step by step to force the King of Qin, in order to make Li Shimin see the reality clearly and take action as soon as possible.

At the same time, Wang Xuanjing helped Li Jiancheng plan while secretly planting nails in Li Jiancheng's east palace.

After learning that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji would go to the palace through Xuanwu Gate tomorrow, they immediately sent someone to inform King Qin of the news.

Li Shimin did not hesitate and secretly contacted the guard of Xuanwu Gate. Li Shimin had outstanding prestige in the army, and the gate officer of Xuanwumen also fought with Li Shimin.

Later, he was promoted due to his merit and became a gate officer of Xuanwu Gate. However, the King of Qin has been trying to win over these people. With the order of King Qin, these people immediately provided convenience.

The next day, before dawn, King Qin quietly led his people to the Xuanwu Gate to ambush. Because he was worried about being noticed, King Qin did not bring too many people with him.

There were only a few generals, and Yuchi Jingde was arranged to ambush outside the gate. At the same time, he also sent envoys to contact the troops outside the city.

When it got light, Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji were escorted by guards to the outside of Xuanwu Gate.

After seeing the Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji felt bad and wanted to retreat immediately. Seeing the two of them trying to escape, Li Shimin quickly shouted: "Brother!"

When Li Yuanji saw Li Shimin here, he raised his hand and shot three arrows at him, but Li Shimin dodged them all. Seeing that the two were about to run, Li Shimin didn't hesitate and shot arrows directly at them.

Li Shimin was already proficient in bow and horse, and had extraordinary martial arts. He hit Prince Li Jiancheng with an arrow and killed him directly. Wang Xuanlie rushed out of the door and killed Li Yuanji.

Although he was not riding a horse, Wang Xuanlie ran extremely fast. When Li Yuanji saw Wang Xuanlie, he was shocked and turned around to run away. The guards behind him wanted to stop Wang Xuanlie.

As a result, he was directly killed by Wang Xuanlie. Wang Xuanlie grabbed a spear and threw it at Li Yuanji who was escaping on horseback. The spear was carried by strong wind and penetrated his back instantly, causing Li Yuanji to fall off the horse.
