Princess Qin walked so abnormally, all the soldiers present felt extremely surprised, however, when all of them looked at King Qin's face, they found that King Qin looked at the back of the princess leaving, and also had an extremely strange look, and just when everyone was puzzled, Li Shimin turned around and shook them off, and went straight to the body of the dead King of Qi, probed into King Qi's arms with his hand, and then turned out a book wrapped in oiled paper, and then, Li Shimin had already opened the oiled paper on the surface of the book and held the book in his hand.
Shi Qingyi has never been clear about one thing, that is, Li Shimin is actually very familiar with her handwriting, and the reason for this has to be traced back to the days when Shi Qingyi just married into the Li family and fought with Li Shimin.
However, Shi Qingyi didn't know, and it was precisely because of this that Li Shimin paid special attention to Shi Qingyi's every move, and therefore, he soon knew that Shi Qingyi's pen could write a slender and elegant handwriting, and at that time Li Shimin was dreaming of being a general all day long, and he was under the cultivation of Mrs. Dou, but he only liked beautiful calligraphy, loved the house and Wuxia, and gradually had a good impression of Shi Qingyi's handwriting. Gradually, I also remembered it. In other words, Li Shimin's change in his impression of Shi Qingyi also started from Shi Qingyi's calligraphy.
So now, when Li Shimin took out the boxing book from his dead brother, and obviously saw that it was Shi Qingyi's handwriting in the past, this incident shook his heart. It is conceivable that at this time, because all his subordinates were around, Li Shimin's face did not show half an abnormality, he just opened the book, and then looked at it page by page, fortunately, although the book was all written by Shi Qingyi's handwriting, but the content in it. But it is just a martial arts classic, although the content is precious, but it is not taken to heart by Li Shimin at all, and therefore, as the pages gradually turn to the end, Li Shimin's mood gradually calmed down. Until, at the end of the page, he saw a portrait of a young girl.
It was a very ordinary girl. Yes, it's very ordinary. Ordinary face, ordinary posture, ordinary temperament, definitely belongs to the kind of person who will never be searched by anyone after blending into the sea of people. However, at this moment, the location of the girl in the painting. But not in the middle of the crowd or the city, but in a quiet woodland, I saw her sitting quietly on the trunk of a thick tree, with a quiet smile on her face.
The girl's gaze was looking down, and in what should have been ordinary eyes. At this time, there was a dazzling light, so that the girl who was originally ordinary immediately became extremely fresh because of that smart eye, revealing a spirit of beauty......
In the lower right corner of the portrait, there is a line of small characters, Li Shimin recognizes that it is the handwriting of his dead third brother, and those words are: Glimpse, my sister!
Li Shimin's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, because he had completely recognized it at this time, the girl in the portrait was Shi Qingyi, because of those bright eyes, so that even if her disguise was absolutely perfect, she still couldn't deceive Li Shimin, who was extremely familiar with her.
Of course, Li Shimin didn't know how his wife could be related to his younger brother, and he also left such a book and this portrait, but he clearly knew that after Shi Qingyi came to the Li family that year, because of the grievances between himself and his younger brother Li Yuanji, so that Shi Qingyi was also implicated because of this, and he was also hated by this younger brother, so naturally, since then, there will never be any more relationship between Shi Qingyi and Li Yuanji, besides, the girl in the painting is so young, This is also impossible for Li Shimin not to guess in his heart, but the acquaintance between the two of them was before Shi Qingyi entered the Li family......
At this time, Li Shimin's movements, as well as all the changes in his expression, naturally would not hide the eyes of all the subordinates who were staring at him, but although these generals under the King of Qin had obviously noticed that something was wrong, absolutely no one dared to come forward to ask, and then, the expression on Li Shimin's face had already returned to calm, but next, he put the fist scripture into his arms, instead of leaving it on the body of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who had died, as Fang Cai and Shi Qingyi said.
Li Shimin immediately began to issue orders to the generals, ordering them to further consolidate their own forces in the palace, while he himself, with a few henchmen, went to the place where Li Yuan was to force the palace......
In this way, not to mention Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi, who were full of thoughts because of that boxing scripture. At this moment, the king of Qi and the crown prince are already dead, so when things come to this point, the end has almost been announced, outside the Xuanwu Gate, the East Palace and the Qi King Guards, who have already understood their situation at this time, have collapsed one after another, and Xue Wanche and other generals have also lost the courage to fight, and have fled. In the palace, after learning of the death of the crown prince and the king of Qi, Li Xiaogong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, who knew that the general situation had been attributed to Li Shimin, finally had to give in to Li Shimin and ordered his subordinates to lay down their arms and surrender. As a result, Li Shimin's party was able to truly control the entire palace.
In this way, even if Li Yuan immediately learned the news that his two sons were killed one after another, so he resented Li Shimin so much in grief that he refused to agree to Li Shimin's conditions, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the shape at this time has been firmly in Li Shimin's hands. And the palace, which had experienced a big war, was finally able to calm down at this time. However, most people don't know that just outside the palace, there is a killing feast that is about to begin.
At this moment. With the attack on the East Palace of Xuanwu Gate, the collapse of King Qi's guards and the departure of most of the defenders of the city gate because of the search for Li Shimin, all the generals guarding the gate were only the eldest grandson Wuji, Chang He, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and a few others, and the eldest grandson Wuji was among all the remaining generals because he was the brother of Princess Qin. Dominant.
At this time, the guards of the Xuanwu Gate had already known the news that the King of Qi was killed, and that Li Xiaogong had finally surrendered to the King of Qin, and these news, coupled with the words of the guards of the Prince Qi who had already been defeated and fled in all directions, undoubtedly showed that the coup d'état at this time seemed to have won the final victory of the King of Qin, so in addition to cheering, the hearts of all the soldiers guarding the city gate were finally relaxed, and then, they showed their tired expressions. After all, the battle of Fang Cai was indeed an extremely severe test for the defenders, and Li Shimin's subordinates had almost completely overdrawn their bodies, so when the crisis passed, the tiredness of the body that was originally forcibly suppressed because of his own will was completely expressed because of the laxity in his heart. And for the state of these soldiers at this time. From top to bottom, all the generals and generals are also well aware, and because of this. As long as they were not obvious dereliction of duty, almost all the generals turned a blind eye to the appearance of the soldiers.
On the city wall, the eldest grandson Wuji was still making his rounds, but he seemed to be extremely absent-minded. As if he was thinking about something, it was only after a while that he suddenly made up his mind, and he immediately turned around. Walked towards Fang Xuanling, who was standing not far away.
The eldest grandson Wuji came to Fang Xuanling's face: "Are you willing, do a big thing with me!" He said to Fang Xuanling, and at the same time opened one hand into a knife and cut down: "Go and kill all the heirs of the crown prince and the king of Qi, and eliminate the troubles for the king of Qin!" Eldest Sun Wuji is not big, however, when Fang Xuanling heard this, his face immediately changed, and at this moment, he looked at Eldest Sun Wuji's gaze, and there was a trace of fear: "How dare you think so?" No matter what the prince and the king of Qi did to the king of Qin, they are all brothers of the same mother after all, especially at this time when the prince and the king of Qi have just been ambushed, the king of Qin will definitely not allow our subordinates to make such a proposition privately, once the king of Qin is angry, we will all have to bear the thunderous anger of the king of Qin!! Fang Xuanling replied in shock.
"That's why I have to do it now, hesitate a little, and wait for King Qin to react, such an opportunity will never be there again!!" The eldest grandson Wuji deliberately lowered his voice and said to Fang Xuanling: "The battle between the courts has always been extremely bloody, either you kill me, or I kill him, we do this just so that King Qin can get rid of all the troubles, today may cause King Qin to be furious, but only in this way can the whole world be absolutely safely transmitted to the hands of King Qin and his descendants, without the slightest shake!" ”
Eldest Sun Wuji's words are here, Fang Xuanling will not know what his true intentions are, that is, he is afraid that in the future, due to the soft-heartedness of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the heirs of the crown prince and the king of Qi will pose a threat to the heirs of the king of Qin and the princess of Qin, that is, the nephews of the eldest grandson Wuji, so as a precaution, it is better to take this opportunity to remove this unstable factor, even if it will go against Li Shimin's will because of this, which will attract Li Shimin's monstrous anger, he will not hesitate.
The brother-sister relationship between the eldest grandson Wuji and Princess Qin is deep, and it is no wonder that he will not hesitate to do this for the sake of his sister! Fang Xuanling thought in his heart. But even so, in this matter, he still didn't dare to rely on the eldest grandson Wuji, because the eldest grandson Wuji was the brother of Princess Qin, even if the Qin King Li Shimin was angry, he still had to have scruples about Princess Qin's attitude, however, he Fang Xuanling would never enjoy the treatment of the eldest grandson Wuji, even if Fang Xuanling was one of Li Shimin's most trusted advisers at this time, it was the same.
Fang Xuanling made a clear statement to the eldest grandson Wuji, saying that he would not provoke the anger of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, his attitude was very firm, but the eldest grandson Wuji only smiled slightly: "You will agree!" He said, and then stretched out his hand to point to Du Ruhui, who had reached the bottom of the city wall at this time and was lying under the shade of a tree near the Xuanwu Gate: "Seeing Du Ruhui's current appearance, even if you Fang Xuanling has always been wise to protect yourself, this time, don't you want to stick a knife in your friend's ribs once?" ”
It was like hitting Fang Xuanling's Achilles heel in one fell swoop, seeing this time, Fang Xuanling was obviously silent, he looked at the place where Du Ruhui was under the city gate again, and then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji many times, after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth violently: "Okay, my Fang Xuanling is this time, for the sake of fat friends, for the first time to disobey King Qin, I fully agree with your approach!" Fang Xuanling finally made a decision.
It turned out that Du Ruhui, who was lying in the shade of the tree at this time, seemed to be resting just because he was tired, but in fact, his body was already in extremely strict condition at this time, which was of course because in this coup d'état, Du Ruhui worked a lot, but the main reason was because of the fight between the King of Qin and the prince in the past, and Du Ruhui was beaten by the ruffians hired by the prince Qi Wang for no reason. At this time, Du Ruhui, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that he only has half a life, it is only because of the medical skills of Princess Shi Qingyi of Qin that she can prepare a prescription and hang her life every day.
In addition, during this period of time, due to the arrogance of the prince and King Qi's subordinates, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui actually had to rely on the protection of some friends who had taken refuge in the prince's door at this time to avoid persecution, during that period of time, not only had to stay away from Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but even the safety of his own family could not be guaranteed, although Fang Xuanling was more timid and afraid, however, the resentment accumulated during that period of time was also very deep. Therefore, in the end, Fang Xuanling agreed to cooperate with the eldest grandson Wuji and decided to do this thing that he would never dare to do before!
So, they separated a part of the soldiers and horses of the Xuanwu Gate, left the Xuanwu Gate by themselves, and marched towards the location of the Prince's East Palace and the Qi Palace, the original guard of the Xuanwu Gate, Chang He, was originally a person on the prince's side, although he made great contributions in this battle, but naturally he did not dare to disobey the order of the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the elder brother of the princess of Qin, and therefore did not dare to ask where he led the troops, and Du Ruhui, who was able to stop the action of the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, had already fallen into a fainting due to physical reasons, So that this time, no one could stop the actions of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji finally led the men and horses to break into the prince's east palace and the mansion of the king of Qi, and killed all the sons of the prince and the king of Qi......
