Chapter 8 Xuanwu Gate!

On the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude, at about five o'clock in the morning, Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin stood here early, Hou Junji and Wei Chi Jingde, two generals, accompanied by the left and right, Li Shimin looked left and right, and then walked a few steps forward, the guard in front of the Xuanwu Gate raised his head, and one of the generals nodded vaguely.

Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, the person of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Of course, this is all superficial, in fact, Chang He was the person who Li Shimin placed next to Li Jiancheng a long time ago, which is why Li Shimin chose Xuanwumen.

This kind of practice of inserting people's hands under each other's hands has long been unusual, this kind of thing has always been repeatedly forbidden, as long as the people sent out are loyal to their masters, or take the handle of others, there is no need to pay anything.

In the ancient environment, anyone would do this kind of business with low investment and high returns.

Therefore, Li Shimin only brought his absolute henchmen today, adding up to only a dozen people who are qualified to go to the court, and Wei Chi Jingde led dozens of Xuanjia army guards to wait in front of the door, this is all he has.

Looking around and confirming that his arrangements were in place, Li Shimin whispered to Hou Junji and Wei Chi Jingde: "Remember, as soon as the city gate is closed, Jingde, you lead the Xuanjia army to quickly surround from the side, Hou Junji will follow me to capture the prince and the king of Qi, and immediately take them to the fiefdom outside the city after catching them, and then put them in the backyard, strictly guard, and wait for the matter to settle."

Wei Chi Jingde and Hou Junji nodded in response: "Huh."

Li Shimin nodded: "Today is the last fight of you and my brothers, success is life, defeat is death, each cherishes it."

Wei Chi Jingde led the accompanying guards to enter through the side door and hid in ambush on the side of the palace.

Hou Junji's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, he didn't know what he was thinking, he lowered his head and followed Li Shimin into the Xuanwu Gate, walked all the way to the city gate, took out the prepared crossbow arrows and put them at his feet.

Li Shimin wore an official uniform and a close-fitting software inside, standing on the city tower and looking at the sun, half an hour later, at the time carefully selected by Li Shimin, the prince and the king of Qi came with their heads held high, what else did the two say, Li Jiancheng's voice was not high, but Li Yuanji, as a member of the fierce general, would not deliberately lower his voice in front of outsiders.

"The second brother made another move this time, but I'm afraid that my second brother is dizzy, and he can use any trick, this is not like his usual style" I only heard Li Yuanji's voice coming from afar.

I don't know what Li Jiancheng said, Li Yuanji answered: "Big brother, you are kind-hearted, the second brother has treated you like this, why are you still protecting him like this, he won't be like this, each of the eighteen bachelors in his prince's mansion is not a fuel-efficient lamp, they are all staring at your position, if you want me to say that we can't wait, why do you want to slow down."

Li Yuanji and Li Shimin are born to deal with each other, I can't say when it will start, Li Shimin says one, he Li Yuanji must say two, that is, he will fight against the second brother.

Li Shimin frowned and didn't speak, watching the two Li Jiancheng brothers walk in step by step, their fists clenched tighter and tighter, their nails cut through their palms, and drops of blood flowed down the cracks in their fists.

Time seems to stand still, every step taken by others seems to be a long time, Li Yuanji smiled sarcastically, and Li Jiancheng was helplessly persuading Li Yuanji.

Everything seems to have returned to the original, when the family lived in Taiyuan.

At that time, the eldest brother Li Jiancheng was gentle and elegant, steady and atmospheric, as a big brother, he took his younger brothers and sisters to practice literature and martial arts, and he was very good to everyone, and he was once Li Shimin's idol.

At that time, the third Li Yuanba was still there, whenever someone was bullied, he carried his big hammer to the door, the little man didn't know where to get such a big power, a hammer smashed a door, and then a hammer down is a broken bone and tendon, father Li Yuan was very sad about this.

Sister Li Xiuning is the most naughty, the little girl has a heroic spirit that only a man has since she was a child, she is the most favored, everyone in the family likes her, if she is still there, things will not get to this point.

Li Shimin felt that he had recalled it for a long time, and he felt that he had recalled everything from childhood to adulthood, but in reality, time only passed for a moment.

The crown prince and King Qi stepped into the Xuanwu Gate, and under them, Li Yuanji's voice was still so arrogant, and the voice of the eldest brother Li Jiancheng was also clear. But Li Shimin didn't have the heart to listen, and when he saw the two people leaking out from under the door, his heart tightened in vain.

"Close the city gate" Li Shimin drank.

The sound fell, the creaking of the gate shut, and with a final bang, the door closed tightly.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji reacted after hearing Li Shimin's voice, and easily snatched the bow and arrow weapon from the guard next to them, Li Yuanji shouted at the city tower: "King Qin, what do you want?" ”。

Li Shimin shouted: "The prince and the king of Qi are in trouble in the harem, the matter is exposed and the intention is to enter the palace to rebel, the human and material evidence is gathered, and the people below listen to the order and take it down for me."

Although Li Shimin has Chang He, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, as an undercover agent, the people who guard the imperial city, according to the carefully selected people of the Ministry of War, can only enter the city defense troops if they are innocent soldiers with family backgrounds, and only after working hard for so long can there be a few henchmen who are willing to follow Li Shimin to fight for wealth and wealth, and now these people are guarding the city gate early and dare not act rashly.

What Li Shimin needs to do is to take the lead and suppress the rest of the defenders with righteousness.

Sure enough, the guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and Chang He fanned the flames on the sidelines, and they all laid down their weapons and prepared to wait and see how things unfolded.

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Wei Chi Jingde rushed out with the Xuanjia army, and more than a dozen civil and military officials brought by Li Shimin drew their swords and slowly walked towards Li Jiancheng and the others from all around.

"You dare to do this, Li Shimin, what are you going to do to us, you are plotting rebellion!" Li Yuanji shouted hoarsely.

Let him be brave, but he is still not an opponent of nearly a hundred people.

Li Shimin looked at him and didn't speak.

Li Yuanji saw that he was about to be taken down, so he picked up the bow and arrow he had just grabbed in his hand and shot it at Li Shimin.

Li Yuanji's archery skills are extraordinary, Li Yuan is very good at archery, Li Yuanji is even better than blue, coupled with the sudden counterattack, Li Shimin was a little caught off guard, and an arrow hit Li Shimin's chest steadily.

Li Shimin fell down in response, and Hou Junji, who was guarding on the side, shouted when he saw this: "Protect the King of Qin" Then set up a weapon in front of Li Shimin, looked back to check Li Shimin's injury, and was relieved to see that the arrow was bounced off by Li Shimin's personal armor, and then the long sword in his hand pointed down slightly.

The Xuanjia army suddenly rushed up the two of them, and rushed up from behind Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, a trace of cold light flashed in their hands, and the two daggers sank into the chests of Li Jiancheng and the two respectively.

It is worthy of the famous Xuanjia Army, killed with a knife, without the slightest delay, the assassin of Li Yuanji also slashed hard after inserting it into Li Yuanji's chest, and Li Yuanji was killed when he arrived.

When the two assassins rushed out of the Xuanjia Army, many people saw that Wei Chi Jingde didn't have time to catch up because he was guarding the door in the rear, and some of the dozen or so generals led by Li Shimin stopped after taking a few steps, and some people were stopped by the people next to them after a few steps, and everyone knew what the assassins wanted to do.

Although it was beyond the expectations of these people.

But, this is a good thing, isn't it, King Qin only wants to seize power and doesn't want to take the lives of these two people, and he also wants to release the two after he succeeds to the throne, so that he will either be rich in the world, or the power will be in the opposition.

Where is there such a good thing, as long as people are alive, there will always be endless accidents.

The safest is still the dead, the person is dead, the wanton reward, the posthumous name, the money can not be given, except for the money, all the honor in the world can be given, the dead are dead, and they don't give people a decent person, and the king of Hades can't spare him.

It's just that King Qin has always insisted on not hurting people's lives before, and as a subordinate, he can't say anything, so he can only try to keep the impact of the incident to a minimum, and they originally planned to arrange the two of them under their noses after they were caught, and keep an eye on them all the time, let alone think that they would be in power.

But in the end, there is no safety for the dead, and once it is over, it will cut off all the thoughts of others.

No one stopped it, and the people who wanted to stop it before also reacted after a while, and this is the best result, isn't it? I don't know who is so bold to dare to arrange it like this.
