Chapter 161 [Where is the location?] Xuanwu Gate! 】
At this time, in the city of Chang'an, the court meeting was re-held.
Sure enough, everything was as Gu Tianya guessed, and the officials of the family were really constantly admonishing.
The so-called admonition, in fact, is better to achieve selfish desires, first the officials took the lead, and praised Li Shimin's great achievements in the Tiance Mansion, and then changed the conversation, thinking that it should be rewarded.
There is only one saying, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has worked hard and should be transferred back to the imperial capital of Chang'an to enjoy the rights of the court.
This seems to be an increase in power for Li Shimin, but in fact it is a reduction in power from the top to the bottom.
How straightforward this plan is, how can it deceive the discerning people, so the Tiance Mansion fought back, refusing to let the family's plan succeed.
It's a pity that the power of the family in the court is too great.
Or, Emperor Li Yuan 'seemed' to feel the threat of his second son.
Therefore, I chose to admonish.
……
In the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty, in the autumn, the emperor issued an order to reward the three armies, and the king of Qin was highly meritorious, and he was crowned with the title of super three dukes, leaving Luoyang and returning to Chang'an.
The people of the city are all over the city, and the scenery is unique for a while, and there are hidden nursery rhymes circulating.
However, only more than five days, a concubine cried to the emperor, saying that the king of Qin was flying and domineering, but he didn't worship the concubine in the harem.
Emperor Boran ordered to be grounded for self-examination.
This technique of splashing dirty water, the family was used by Emperor Yang Guangye of Sui, and for a few days, the night banquet of the prince's mansion, the king of Qin was poisoned, vomiting blood and returning in a hurry.
In a few days, the official said, and there were 3,000 private soldiers stationed in the palace of the king of Qin, which was an extraordinary move, and the emperor should be vigilant.
Emperor Guo was angry, reprimanded him, cut the palace guards, and left only a thousand parts.
In this way, the family's tricks are frequent, like a raging wind and waves, swept wave after wave.
The generals of the Heavenly Policy are worried, and there is a sense of impending catastrophe.
Only half a month after returning to Chang'an, it was already difficult, the generals of Tiance discussed with each other day by day, and the eldest grandson Wuji drew his sword and stood up, roaring angrily: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, if I don't want to die, others will have to die." ”
The generals finally decided to fight back.
History seems to be repeating itself, and the trajectory of the Xuanwumen Incident has begun......
However, this was only the seventh year of Wude, two years earlier than the time in real history.
But few people know that the reason why such a big change is advanced is only because a young person wants to calm down early to develop people's livelihood.
Gu Tianya didn't want to drag it out any longer.
……
On this day, the palace of the king of Qin.
A group of scribes knelt on their knees, looked at Li Shimin with tears in their eyes, and kept pleading: "Your Highness, can you bear to watch our lives die in Huangquan?" ”
Li Shimin seemed to be unbearable, but his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Wait, force me." ”
Boom.
Suddenly, dozens of generals also knelt on one knee.
Although they did not say a word, everyone was sad.
Li Shimin snorted angrily again and suddenly overturned the table.
But he heard Xu Shiqi sigh and said in a gloomy voice: "Your Highness, we have no way to retreat." We can die, and there is no panic, but if we let the prince continue to do it, I am afraid that His Royal Highness's net worth and life will also be lost. This kind of outcome is not what we want to see. ”
Li Shimin took a deep breath, as if he was persuaded by Xu Shiji, suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes were faintly red, he roared violently, and said angrily: "Li Jiancheng, do you dare to bully me like this?" ”
Everyone in the audience was overjoyed, and looked at each other frequently, and the eldest grandson Wuji took the opportunity to say: "Now that the military power is still in hand, it will be the meat of the chopping board if you take it off, so you should be ruthless." ”
The generals roared, and said with cold eyes: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, if I don't want to die, others will have to die, Your Highness, it's time to make up your mind." ”
Li Shimin took a deep breath again, and suddenly his eyes seemed to shoot a fierce color, and he said slowly: "Immediately hand over the news and order the army of Tiance Mansion to approach Chang'an." It should be there in ten days, and the king is determined to start at that time. ”
How do you know that the generals clasped their fists together, and said eagerly: "Your Highness, don't use this order, the army of Tiance Mansion is already on the way." ”
Li Shimin was obviously stunned, his eyes looked at everyone deeply, no one noticed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
But he concealed it well, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, as if he was happy and said: "Since the army is already on the way, it must be possible to arrive in the near future." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji clasped his hands into fists and said on behalf of everyone: "In order to prevent His Highness from being soft-hearted, we have made preparations half a month ago, and we can't hide it, the army is in the mountains and forests outside Chang'an City." ”
"Which mountains, which forests?" Li Shimin's eyes sparkled.
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at everyone, and then replied cautiously: "Qinling, Zhongnan Mountain, Lantian County, and Lishan hinterland also have ......."
Li Shimin slowly exhaled a breath and said with deep meaning: "These four places have been chosen very carefully, and they seem to be not far from the stationing of those soldiers and horses of the family. ”
Everyone knelt down together to confess their guilt, and said without hesitation: "In order to prevent His Highness from being soft-hearted, we will overstep our responsibilities and act on our behalf, and after the great event is completed, we will let His Highness commit crimes." However, I still have to do what I should do, and this time I am arranging the troops, just to wipe out the soldiers and horses of the family."
Li Shimin slowly looked up at the top, and after a long time, he said: "You have prepared everything, how can I, the leader, be soft-hearted." ”
Suddenly, he lowered his head, looked at the Tiance officials who knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Even so, swear." ”
The civil and military officials in the audience all bit their middle fingers, smeared blood on their faces, and said loudly: "I am willing to bear an infamy, this matter will not be a death." ”
Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "Okay, don't die." ”
……
The generals of the Heavenly Policy retreated, and everyone seemed impatient.
On this day, countless birds flew out of Chang'an and quietly rushed to the surroundings to deliver military orders.
That night, Li Shimin stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking up at the moonlight for a long time and was silent, as if he wanted to look at a certain place in the imperial city, and as if he was just enjoying the beautiful scenery of the night.
In the imperial city, the top floor of the Taiji Hall is the highest place.
Li Yuan also took his hands behind his back, and the emperor was also looking up at the night sky, and suddenly let out a long breath and asked softly, "Is the time set?" ”
This question was headless and brainless, but someone behind him answered, but it turned out that all the cores of the Li royal family were there, and I saw Li Shentong, the king of Huainan, slowly speak: "It's decided, it's tomorrow morning." ”
"Is the boss ready?"
"Jiancheng has bathed and changed clothes, gladly welcoming his death."
"Alas, Boss, Boss......"
Li Yuan kept muttering in his mouth, and suddenly became old and tearful, he turned his head to look at everyone, and said in a cold tone: "All of you, don't forget the boss in the future." All of you must remember that the future of the Li family was bought with the life of the boss. ”
All the royal cores present suddenly knelt on one knee and saluted in the direction of the East Palace Prince's Mansion.
Suddenly, a young man walked out of the crowd, and it turned out to be Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who had been abandoned from secrets, but when he saw this guy kneeling in front of Li Yuan, his eyes were full of tears for some reason, and he cried: "Father, my son is going to say goodbye." Early tomorrow morning, Erchen will go on the road with his eldest brother. ”
Li Yuan trembled and stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Yuanji's forehead, obviously the emperor was constantly crying, but his face was full of joy, and said, "You have to thank your brother-in-law, he woke you up." Although you still end up dying, death is not the same as dying. Previously, you were the dog of the family. Now, you are a member of our Li family. ”
Li Yuanji kowtowed heavily and said, "I only hope that my brother-in-law can do what he says, and I only hope that he doesn't treat his son-in-law as a fool." He told me that he would let the descendants of his sons enjoy prosperity for five hundred years......"
Li Yuan kept stroking Li Yuanji's forehead, and said softly: "Don't worry, my father's eyes are not blind, I have always been very accurate in seeing people, and your brother-in-law is by no means a cold-hearted person." ”
"That's good!"
Li Yuanji nodded slowly.
Suddenly, the thing stood up from the ground, and a strong battle intent gradually burst out from its body.
He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and said heroically: "I am the one who is poor and extravagant, and I am the one who is flying and domineering, once I am woken up, I know that I have been in a mess for eighteen years, and tomorrow morning, I am willing to fight for the future of the Li family, even if I am dead in the chaos, but I am worthy of death." ”
He laughed and left, his figure gradually disappeared on the top floor of the Taiji Palace, the night was deep, and his oath to die proudly came, and he shouted: "My brother-in-law told me that the fierce general, although thousands of people go to me." Tomorrow morning, I will kill five hundred people, and I will not kill enough of them, and I will not die......"
More than a dozen cores of the Li royal family suddenly bowed down again, and both elders and peers saluted him to see him off.
There were tears in everyone's eyes, but their faces were full of joy.
The Li family is a tiger, and the prodigal son is also looking back.
Although he dies in the blink of an eye, he dies differently than he dies.
The whole family has to thank him for the relative who was born in Hebei.
……
East Palace, Prince's Mansion.
Li Jiancheng slowly knelt on the ground and paid homage to people with a solemn salute, beside him, it was the crown princess Zheng Guanyin, the crown princess also bowed and knelt on the ground with her husband.
Behind the two of them were five children, as well as two side concubines, all of whom knelt on their knees with gratitude on their faces.
The person who was worshiped was also 'Li Jiancheng'.
The appearance is exactly the same.
Behind this 'Li Jiancheng' were more than a dozen leaders of the prince's mansion, who were also forced to stand there and accept the prince's family's big bows.
Li Jiancheng looked at 'Li Jiancheng', and then looked at more than a dozen soldiers who were like brothers and sisters, and suddenly there were tears in his eyes, and he looked up to the sky and cried: "Everyone, I'm sorry for you." ”
That 'Li Jiancheng' behaved dumbly, like a fool and could only laugh.
However, more than a dozen pro-soldiers knelt down at the same time, and said with a heroic face: "Your Highness, we can know that you can live, and even live in good health for decades, this kind of news simply makes us ecstatic." Although he died, he had no regrets. ”
One of the leaders of the pro-soldiers had a happy face, and said with joy: "The last general was born in poverty, but when the wedding was held, His Royal Highness personally presided over it, and the crown princess even deliberately opened my wife's face, so that I could earn enough face in my father-in-law's house." In this life, the last general has been satisfied. This time I can die for His Highness, and the last general will be indescribably happy. ”
Li Jiancheng burst into tears.
The crown princess Zheng Guanyin bowed down again, and also said with tears: "In order to prevent the family from detecting, the prince's mansion must make the most real resistance in major events, only in this way can we deceive those people who have been resisting, and in the resistance and fighting, all the soldiers and horses can be destroyed." In this battle, we will have 2,000 brothers killed. Concubine Zheng Guanyin said goodbye to the brothers in advance. It's a pity that I can't personally apologize to the two thousand pro-soldier brothers. ”
More than a dozen leaders of the pro-soldiers laughed and said, "Although it is necessary to hide it from the pro-soldier brothers, even if they know, they are willing to die for His Highness." What is a pro-soldier? His Highness's siblings are also ......"
Zheng Guanyin got up suddenly, picked up a bowl of wine from the table, raised his head and drank it all, and said crisply: "Since they are siblings, they are brothers, and let me, a woman who is a sister-in-law, send a line to your brothers." ”
More than a dozen leaders of the pro-soldiers raised their bowls at the same time, laughed after drinking the wine, and said heroically: "If there is a princess and sister-in-law, we can boast even under the Nine Springs." ”
Huo Ran turned around and left generously.
Though he died, his heart was not afraid.
Since ancient times, Chinese men have never lacked such loyal people.
What about death.
……
Zheng Guanyin stretched out his hand to hug Li Jiancheng's arm, and the husband and wife looked at the backs of the soldiers who gradually disappeared, and suddenly Zheng Guanyin sighed and asked softly: "Husband, where is the location?" ”
Li Jiancheng looked at the night from afar and said slowly: "Xuanwu Gate." ”
