Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 461
Princess Pingyang dropped these words and left. Xu Qing counted the antidote in the bottle until he had finished counting.But what is the meaning of Princess Pingyang's words?
Could it be that these things of King Qin are all fake?Did he want to take the opportunity of this handover to paralyze Li Jiancheng and others, and then launch a mutiny?Yes, this seems more reasonable. Xu Qing thought that he traveled to the Tang Dynasty. Although he changed some things, he could not change the human nature of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng in the end.Especially Li Shimin, he will never give up easily.

However, when Li Shimin chose the final successor, he said a word, "Tai Li, Cheng Qian and King Jin will not survive, Jin Wang will stand, and Thailand will inherit Qian together without any problems." Xu Qing seems to have made a decision on this matter, If the king of Qin is established, neither the king of Qi nor the prince will survive, and if the king of Qin is established, then both the king of Qi and the king of Qin will survive.For Xu Qing, it doesn't matter who wins the competition between the king of Qin and the prince. The feeling of the king of Qin and the prince in Xu Qing's heart is actually the same. If they can protect the life of the second child, there will be no regrets.

As for the rule of Zhenguan, which may disappear, with Xu Qing around, it won't make any difference to give him a prosperous Kaiyuan era.

Xu Qing ordered that the defenders of Xuanwu Gate should be raised to 5000 people, and a team of people would still patrol outside, and the extra people would all stand on the school grounds.

But at this time, the sky was thundering, dark clouds were billowing, and then pouring rain came.There was a protruding canopy around the school grounds. Xu Qing ordered the soldiers to squeeze as much as possible. If they couldn't fit, they used shields to cover their heads from the rain.

"Boom, boom, scold!"

The night covered everything.

It was almost midnight, outside the Zhide Gate of the Prince's East Palace, there was also a vast forbidden garden, where the Prince's army and King Qi's army were stationed.At this time, tens of thousands of troops were ready to go at a place more than five miles away from Zhidemen, and the one in front was Li Yuanji, who led the troops north this time.

The heavy rain poured down, but these sergeants remained unmoved, and melted together like the surrounding forest.

After a while, a group of cavalry flew from a distance, and it was Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty who was approaching.He saw Li Yuanji and said: "Yuanji, how are your preparations? This dispatch of troops is no better than returning to the court after victory. We can only go out while the rain is heavy to cover up our voices and the shadows of the night are hiding. I'm sorry for you."

Li Yuanji was drenched in the heavy rain, but his heart was warm. He replied: "Brother, don't worry, it's not the first time I've gone to war. You still treat me like a child more than ten years ago." ?”

"Hehehe..." Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Isn't it the first time to go out alone? By the way, are those in the Tiance Army honest?"

"Brother, don't worry, those people from Tiance Mansion have been transferred out, and the soldiers are all our own. After tonight, we leave Chang'an and see how I deal with them!" Li Yuanji said with a smile, very confident.

But Li Jiancheng still sighed and said: "Yuanji, it's still what Xu Qing said, the imperial court cannot do without the Tiance Army. But the most important thing is that it cannot do without these generals, they are the pillars of the imperial court , and also made great contributions to Datang's Southern Expedition and Northern War, if you can subdue them, don't kill them. As for those diehards, just deal with them."

"Brother, everything else is fine. They seem to want to make a move. As long as you add more bargaining chips, you won't be afraid of their disapproval. But..."

"But what, you just promise, money, women, land, official titles, or the care of your children and grandchildren, as long as they are willing to submit to me, everything is easy to talk about." Li Jiancheng showed his domineering imperial aura, and asked Li Yuanji: "Who else do you want to remain unmoved?"

"When giving gifts, Changsun Wuji pretended to be sick, Yu Chigong chased me with an axe, Zhang Gongjin was also stubborn, and Qin Qiong, although willing to see me, refused to accept the gift. The worst thing is that bastard Cheng Yaojin , I gave him anything, he smiled and accepted it, but after accepting it, he immediately turned his face and kicked me out."

"The power behind Changsun Wuji is too great. If he can't be subdued, he should be put under house arrest. Zhang Gongjin is a stubborn one. Qin Qiong is a loyal minister of his second brother and father. He is the same as Xu Qing in this matter. No offence. Cheng Yaojin, don’t worry about this person, Yu Chigong is the last one left, you have to be careful with this kind of person Yuanji. I know you have a hot temper, if he proposes to compete with you, you must not agree.” Li Shimin said, his eyes became more and more fierce: "If it's not enough to pay attention to the thatched cottage, you can do it. They are good heroes, but my Tang Dynasty has no shortage of heroes!"

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "During the time I went to the north, it was better for the elder brother to be in Chang'an. Don't worry about me, but beware of the second elder brother. He can do anything, elder brother, or else we are leaving Before, put him..."

"Shut up! I won't do what you said. I, Li Jiancheng, have nothing to do. I failed to handle the relationship between brothers. However, I, Li Jiancheng, still have his brother in my heart. If you want me to kill him, how can I do it? go hand?"

"Brother, you, oh, let's not talk about it, brother, you will suffer once from this woman's kindness."

Seeing Li Yuanji scolding him for being a woman, Li Jiancheng was not angry, but sighed and said, "You don't know, when your mother died, you were still young, and she told me to take care of you, third sister and second brother, I If you do something like brother to brother, how will you see your mother when you go down?"

Li Yuanji was silent. When his mother died, he was still very young and had almost no image.And Li Yuan couldn't take care of him because he was busy with other things, only this elder brother was the closest person to him.In his memory, it was Li Jiancheng who always took them in Chang'an or Taiyuan, whether it was studying, playing, or looking for places.So up to now, he and Li Jiancheng don't distinguish between you and me, and follow Li Jiancheng closely.

Today, it was the first time he had heard Li Jiancheng mention these things, and he finally understood why Li Jiancheng was so kind to Li Shimin.This is the brother's uncontrollable love, the resonance of the same blood in the veins.At the same time, he despised Li Shimin even more.

"Okay, Yuanji, we must come back with a big victory!"

"Brother, take your leave, my younger brother will return with a big victory!"

The two looked at each other, they both knew the meaning of this great resort.

But at this time, there was a sound of horseshoes behind them, and then the sound of horseshoes stopped in front of them, and they cupped their hands and said, "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Xuan will enter the palace immediately!"

"Oh? I don't know why the father called Gu?" Li Jiancheng showed the aura of a prince.

The cavalryman cupped his hands and said: "I don't know about the end general, the emperor only told me to come to the prince to enter the palace and meet him in the royal study."

Li Jiancheng waved his hand: "You go first, I will toast Yuan Ji with a glass of Zhuang Xingjiu, and then I will come."

The cavalry general hesitated for a moment and said, "Prince, this..."

Li Jiancheng was not polite, and he whipped his horsewhip: "You bastard, how dare you disobey Gu's orders!"

"Here!"

After the cavalry general left, Li Yuanji immediately asked: "Brother, what's the matter, why did the emperor call you over overnight?"

Li Jiancheng thought about it for a while, he hadn't done anything these few days, why did Li Yuan call him over, could something big happen to the court?He remembered two things about this matter. One was the Yang Wengan incident a few years ago. Li Shimin made a false accusation and transferred him from Chang'an to Renzhi Palace.The second one is that when Dong Zhuo died, it seems that he was killed by Lu Bu when he entered the palace and proclaimed himself emperor.

He didn't know why these two things appeared in his mind, but even if they did, combined together, he had a bad feeling.

Seeing Li Jiancheng's flustered expression, Li Yuanji couldn't help worrying: "Second brother couldn't have caused this matter again, right? If that's the case, elder brother shouldn't go. Wait until tomorrow in the barracks. What's the matter, father?" Can't tell you clearly?"

"No, Father may really be in a hurry. If someone really set me up and I don't go at this time, wouldn't it be true? If it's the same as last time, someone falsely accuses me of treason, that would be a serious crime." gone."

Li Yuanji knew what kind of virtue his elder brother had, so he said: "You can go, but I won't go, I will accompany you. I will also bring a team of soldiers to protect your safety."

Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji: "No, if something happens to me, you are still here. If someone catches us both, all previous efforts will be for naught."

Li Yuanji also became stubborn: "No, when I was young, I would go wherever you were, big brother, and we would be together when my father scolded me. This time we brothers have to be together."

"Oh," Li Jiancheng sighed, "Okay, let's go together, brothers."

Where do we go then?

This question appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time.

The entire Taiji Palace is divided into three parts, from east to west are the East Palace, Taiji Palace, and Yeting Palace. The East Palace and Taiji Palace cannot communicate with each other.If the crown prince wanted to see Li Yuan, he could either detour through the Chengtian Gate and enter through the Taiji Hall, or he could go through the back door in the northern Forbidden Garden.There are two gates, a small gate on the east side, called Xuanfu gate, guarded by Xu Zhen, the son of general Xu Shiji.After entering Xuanfu Gate, and then passing through a long underground palace road, you can enter Li Yuan's imperial study.

The door to the west, even the Xuanwu Gate guarded by Xu Qing, can enter the Imperial Study Room without going through a long palace road to enter the Xuanwu Gate.Of course, to enter the two places, you need to go through many checkpoints in Li Yuan's hall.

"Yuanji, bring five hundred archers and five hundred swordsmen, and we will enter through the Xuanwu Gate..."

"Brother, no, Xu Qing is the defender of Xuanwu Gate. The second brother went to Xuanwu Gate and stayed for a long time on the day when he handed over his military power. Brother, this son is very evil and unbelievable. The guard of Xuanfu Gate is Xu Zhen , Xu Shiji's son, should be credible."

"Xu Qing..." Li Jiancheng had a complex expression in his eyes, he finally nodded and said: "Then, according to Yuanji, let's go in through Xuanfu Gate?"

After a while, Li Yuanji ordered his own army, some of the most trustworthy people, and Li Jiancheng went to Xuanfumen.

The sky is still raining relentlessly, and thunder and lightning are still there. It seems that it wants to frighten the monsters in the lower world who want to make trouble, and it seems that it wants to remind the lost people in the world—the lamb.
