Tang Dynasty woman

Chapter 24 Love and Lore
3. Brotherhood of Xuanwumen
Prince Jiancheng tried his best to finally obtain Mrs. Peng's body, but he always felt that there was a fly in the ointment, that is, every time he was in ecstasy, he always loved and loved her when the beauty was asleep, but she didn't know anything. How fascinating, joyful and fascinating it is to meet her with smiles and kisses and kiss each other in words.It just so happened that at this time I heard that Mrs. Peng's family invited a group of eminent monks and Taoists to do rituals to exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil spirits.

Naturally, he would find a time when General Peng would never be in the mansion when he was away on an expedition. Sure enough, when Mrs. Peng heard that the crown prince had arrived in the inner courtyard, she hurried out to the central hall to greet him through the curtain.The crown prince saluted courteously outside the curtain, but Mrs. Peng bowed deeply inside the curtain, dignified and dignified.But as soon as he sat down, the prince's frivolity showed a little unconsciously, and said: "When the lonely king and his wife were in the palace, didn't they meet several times a day? Now there is a curtain, it's vague, really I'm about to die of suffocation. Quickly ask Madam to remove the curtain!"

Mrs. Peng thought that what the prince said made sense, she had met several times in the palace, and now that they met, there was no need to hide it; so she ordered the maid to remove the curtain.When the prince saw Mrs. Peng in full attire, she became more and more graceful and extremely gorgeous, and immediately dreamed of it.

Mrs. Peng felt very embarrassed when she saw the prince's eyes fixed on her pink face, so she lowered her face and said dignifiedly: "Qiantui, please sit in the study outside." Hearing this, he hurriedly came forward to guide the prince zigzagging from the outer courtyard around the garden and into the study.

The prince saw that he couldn't get close to Mrs. Peng, so he made this trip for nothing, so he lied that he came to the mansion today to worship Buddha, and because Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin Defei had some confidantes to tell me. Pass it to Madam, please come quickly!Joining the army did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the inner courtyard to tell his wife.

Mrs. Peng hesitated for a long time when she heard the words, but she refused to leave the hall, but the prince was sent by the order of the noble concubine, and he was difficult by nature, there was no way to avoid it, so she had to bite the bullet, and took a little maid to walk around from the accompaniment Go to the study.The prince sent word again, just to keep the servant girl in the outer room, and only Mrs. Peng was allowed to visit.

When Mrs. Peng walked into the room to have a look, only the prince was sitting in the room.When he saw Mrs. Peng, he asked at the beginning: "Are Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De are very close friends with Madam?" I know." The crown prince then asked: "Madam should also know about Zhang Jieyu, Concubine Yin De's marriage with the lonely king, right?" At that time, the crown prince's attitude was very frivolous and ambiguous when he said this. He even half-closed one eye and made a face at the dignified Mrs. Peng.

Mrs. Peng suddenly couldn't prevent the prince from asking this question, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she lowered her head and was speechless.

When the prince saw it, he took a step closer to Mrs. Peng, fixed his eyes on her and said: "Do you know that you have also walked on the same path with Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei? Now Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei are King Tuogu sent a message to his wife, asking her to cherish this person who loves you." The prince said and stretched out his hand to pull Mrs. Peng's slender hand.

Mrs. Peng hurriedly withdrew her hand, stepped back, and suddenly changed her face, saying: "Chitui must be more careful, the general knows, but it's not right." The prince laughed lightly and said, "What's wrong?" It's not right, the madam's body has already been intimated by the lonely king, now it's okay to squeeze her hands!" Saying this, she wanted to rush forward to be flirtatious again.

Mrs. Peng hurriedly shrank back and hid behind the bookshelf, and from a scabbard hanging diagonally from the corner of the bookshelf, she pulled out a sword with a whiz, blocked the prince's body, and said sharply: "Qiantui can't slander my concubine like this!" Body! May I ask what evidence Chitose has to say such frivolous words?"

The prince who was blocked by the sword smiled again: "Madam, do you want to ask the lonely king for evidence? That's easy, just look for it on Madam. Isn't there a little bright red mole under Madam's left nipple? This is Proof! Madam’s trousers are embroidered with mandarin ducks on one end and ducks on the other end. This is also loosened by the lonely king himself for Madam. Isn’t this a proof?” How to sleep and dream after returning to the mansion, how to use a scheme to send a knight robbing a beauty to the secret room of the prince's mansion in the middle of the night, how to let him be frivolous. The relatives have suffered more than three or five times, and now I have come to explain to my wife face to face, begging my wife to continue this good relationship in the future, so that we will not be unhappy with each other secretly.

After the prince finished speaking, he chased after the bookshelf, and was about to hug Mrs. Peng, but she called out cruelly: "General!" She returned and wiped the sword edge on the pink neck, and at the same time, a wisp of blood splashed out, She also fell to the ground and closed her eyes.The prince, who was as bold as the sky, was also frightened. After a long while, he went back to the house embarrassingly.

The next day, it was rumored in the capital that General Peng's wife had died of a sudden illness. Prince Li Jiancheng felt uneasy, so he quietly told the inside story of the matter to Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. People, besides, he has a large army in his hands, and his nature is very strong. Once the truth of this matter is revealed, I am afraid that the world will be turned upside down." The prince was even more flustered, and then it was Li Yuanji who came up with a plan, and quickly ordered Yang Wengan, the governor of Qingzhou, to recruit [-] warriors. Secretly sent to the capital to ambush.When General Peng returns to the court, just do nothing. If there is any action, he will order three thousand warriors to besiege the general's mansion.Li Jiancheng even said a good plan!Good plan!Then follow the plan.

At the end of the year, the Emperor Tang, who had made a big circle, stopped hunting from Mingdu Spring and returned to the court.General Peng led tens of thousands of soldiers to escort them along the way.Qin Wang Li Shimin also returned to the court from Puzhou. In the middle of the night, General Peng suddenly came to see him.The two meet in the secret room.

Li Shimin saw General Peng's expression was not right, so he asked him what was on his mind. General Peng said coldly: "I fought for your Li family all my life, and I almost lost my life. Now there is a wife and child in the family, and your Li family can't tolerate it." , was threatened to commit suicide by your prince alive."

Li Shimin was shocked, and hurriedly asked what was going on?General Peng recounted the tragic death of his wife by the crown prince in detail. When it came to anger, he gritted his fists;He only thought that the prince wanted to do something wrong and forced his wife to death, but he never knew that there was also a frivolous part of stealing a beauty into a secret room.

"General, please calm down! Xiao Wang is going to play the emperor tomorrow, and he must ask the emperor to abolish this wicked prince!" General Peng heard the words, pulled out his sword, and snapped the sword in two. , Said: "If you don't help Qiantui to expel this obscene prince with all your strength, there is such a sword." Then the two of them had some confidential conversations, and General Peng left and went home.

The next day Li Shimin went to the palace alone, met his father in the hall, and was about to report about the crown prince when Du Feng sent in the manuscript, which said that Yang Wengan, the general manager of Qingzhou, had rebelled and led 5 people to the capital.Tang Huang hurriedly showed the memorial to Li Shimin.While Li Shimin was watching, he suddenly saw Xiao Huangmen rushing in and said: "An army came from nowhere and besieged General Peng's mansion. General Peng Renjie was killed by the rebels. Now the rebels are besieging the Taihe Palace. Listen The wind said that King Qin was going to be arrested." Emperor Tang became flustered without realizing it, but Li Shimin said calmly: "Only the crown prince knows about this matter, and the emperor hastened to tell the crown prince to come into the palace."

Prince Li Jiancheng was dispatching troops with Li Yuanji in the mansion, when he suddenly saw an order from the palace to summon him, he simply ordered two thousand warriors from the mansion, intending to rush straight into the palace and kill Li Shimin.Just as he was leaving the mansion to get on his horse, Zhao Hongzhi, the chief secretary of Zhan's affairs, went forward and grabbed the prince's horse, repeatedly admonishing him not to move rashly.He also said that the emperor treats a thousand years old well, and he must not frighten the holy car.

Then the prince followed Zhao Hongzhi's words and brought a few bodyguards into the palace.But Tang Huang was full of anger, and his younger brother Qin Wang also stood aside angrily.Li Jiancheng immediately knelt down in front of his father and apologized.The sound of soldiers shouting to kill outside the palace gate came directly into the palace.King Qin couldn't help kneeling on the ground, begging his father to kill the child to relieve the siege outside the palace.

Tang Huang saw his two brothers kneeling side by side under his Highness, he couldn't bear it, and ordered Huangmen officials to help them up, the sound of killing outside the palace became more ferocious, so he sent an order to Wei Zheng to quickly quell the rebellion in the capital.

After the rebellion subsided, corpses littered the ground outside the palace gate, and blood flowed into canals.

It didn't take long for the border customs to report an emergency, saying that the Turkic troops were approaching the border with a huge force.Li Jiancheng recommended Li Yuanji to lead the army in the north.This was originally a plan of the two of them, which enabled Li Yuanji to command the army in the name of conquering the Turks. As soon as he left the capital, he surrounded the capital and ordered the king of Qin to be arrested. No clearance.

Unexpectedly, King Qin's eyes and ears are very long, this plan has already been seen through by Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji and other counselors and warriors in King Qin's mansion.That year Du Ruhui was dismissed by the Emperor Tang and expelled from the capital because of Concubine Yin De's father's finger-cutting incident. The King of Qin quietly called him back into the mansion, and secretly planned and planned, which was quite remarkable.Du Ruhui was the first to notice what happened now.Then everyone discussed a way, and Li Shimin quietly entered the palace through the back door.

It was dusk at this time, the lights in the palace were bright, and the Emperor Tang was eating in the harem.The Huangmen official newspaper said that the King of Qin had something to ask for an interview, and the Emperor Tang sent a message to the King of Qin at the dinner table.When King Qin saw his father, he knelt down on the ground, with tears streaming down his face, saying that his father would save his son's life soon!When Emperor Tang saw this situation, he hurriedly retreated to the left and right, and called King Qin to come to him for questioning.Qin Wang asked at the beginning: "Father, did you ever send Yuan Ji to conquer the Turks?" Emperor Tang nodded and said: "I have approved the prince's memorandum for this matter, and I must make an order tomorrow morning."

The King of Qin hurriedly said: "If the emperor loves the lives of his subjects, he must not issue this imperial decree." Then he explained the strategies of the prince and Li Yuanji, and simply stated that the prince had been fornicating the concubine, raping the women, and committing crimes. I talked about all kinds of bad deeds of the common people and the wives of officials who raped officials, and finally said that if the ministers have half a lie, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth!
The Emperor Tang roared with anger, especially the ambiguous relationship with Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De, so that Prince Jiancheng turned into a sharp sword and stabbed at the most painful spot of Emperor Li Yuan, in great pain and shock , Li Yuan yelled again and again how dare they do such a thing? !

Li Shimin hurriedly seized the opportunity, and then said that once Prince Jiancheng invited him to the mansion for a drink, but he had a stomachache as soon as he drank the cup. Back to West Palace.As soon as he went back, he vomited for a while, and the vomit was full of blood. Thanks to the poison Li Jiancheng had given was not too severe, and he had asked a doctor for timely treatment, he finally recovered slowly.Li Shimin had already burst into tears when he said this, and said that if he hadn't been on guard everywhere, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see my father long ago"!
Li Yuan, who was so excited, wanted to send Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji into the palace overnight to interrogate him.Li Shimin said again: "The prince has a lot of cliques, so in a hurry, I'm afraid there will be disasters. When the minister goes out of the palace to gather soldiers and protect the palace, it will not be too late to summon the prince."
