Liu Minyi was talking rhetorically, gushing about the "Xuanwumen Change":

Li Shiming made great contributions in the process of establishing the Tang Dynasty regime, and was canonized as the king of Qin by his father Li Yuan.

The contradictions between Li Shimin, the king of Qin, Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, have never been interrupted and intensified day by day.

Li Jiancheng was worried that Li Shiming's martial arts might replace him, so he teamed up with Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Li Shimin sensed this sign of danger and believed that Luoyang's terrain was superior and convenient; One day something happened, he left the capital to go to Luoyang, so he sent Zhang Liang, the general of the Qin Palace, to lead more than 1,000 people including his confidant Wang Bao to Luoyang......

After Zhang Liang arrived in Luoyang, he secretly befriended the heroes east of Kunshan according to the instructions of the King of Qin, and waited for the situation to change; also took out a large amount of gold and silver silk for the heroes to use.

Li Yuanji spied on Li Shimin's motives and accused Zhang Liang of plotting misdeeds; Zhang Liang was handed over to the judge for inspection and verification.

Zhang Liang didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the imperial court released him and let him return to Luoyang.

Li Jiancheng summoned Li Shimin at night, drank with him, and secretly poisoned him in the wine.

Li Shimin suddenly had a heartache and vomited several liters of blood, and Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, helped him back to the West Palace.

Gaozu came to the West Palace, inquired about Li Shimin's condition, and ordered Li Jiancheng: "The King of Qin has always been not good at drinking, and from now on, you can no longer drink with him at night." ”

Therefore, Gaozu said to Li Shimin: "First of all, you put forward the strategy of opposing the Sui, destroying the enemy, and pacifying the sea, all of which are your credits." I was going to make you the crown prince, but you resolutely refused. And Li Jiancheng is the oldest, and it has been a long time since he was made the crown prince, and I can't bear to take away his position as the crown prince! I see that your brothers seem to be incompatible, and there will definitely be disputes when you live together in the capital; I should send you back to Xingtai and stay in Luoyang; The vast area east of Shaanzhou is under your domination, and I will also let you set up the banner of the Son of Heaven, such as the story of King Liang Xiao of the Han Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin wept and excused himself on the grounds that he was unwilling to stay away from his father's knees. Gaozu said: "The world is all one family, the east and west are very close, as long as I miss you, I can leave there, you don't have to worry and sad."

When Li Shimin was about to leave, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji discussed together: "If the King of Qin arrives in Luoyang and has land and army, we will no longer be able to control him." It's better to keep him in Chang'an, so that he is just a puppet, and it will be easy to catch him. ”

So, they secretly asked several people to play Gaozu in a sealed cantata, claiming: "The people around the King of Qin were all overjoyed when they learned that the King of Qin was going to Luoyang; Looking at King Qin's intentions, I'm afraid he won't return to Chang'an. ”

They also instructed Gaozu's favored officials to persuade Gaozu on the pros and cons of the Qin king's stay, and Gaozu changed his mind; The matter of King Qin's trip to Luoyang was put on hold halfway again.

Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and the concubines of the harem kept framing Li Shimin to Gaozu day and night, and Gaozu believed it and was ready to punish Li Shimin.

Li Yuanji secretly asked to kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Gaozu said: "He has made a contribution to pacifying the world, and the fact that he committed a crime is not significant, what is the excuse to use?" ”

Li Yuanji said: "When the king of Qin had just pacified the eastern capital of Luoyang, he waited and watched the situation and refused to return, and distributed money and silk silk in order to establish personal kindness; and disobeying His Majesty's edict, what is it if it is not a rebellion! You should only kill him quickly, why worry about not finding an excuse!"

Gaozu did not agree. On the fourth Gengshen day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude (July 2, 626 AD), Li Shimin led the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chigong, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Liu Shili, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junxuan, Zheng Rentai, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Wenshiji, Gao Shilian, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Qu Tutong, Zhang Shigui and others into the court, and laid an ambush in Xuanwu Gate.

In the early morning of June 4, the ninth year of Wude, everything looked as usual.

After Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji converged, they approached Xuanwu Gate from the east, and Li Jiancheng was more relieved that the general guarding Xuanwu Gate, the most important location, was his own people.

However, he never dreamed that the generals guarding the Xuanwu Gate would either have a wait-and-see attitude towards the battle that was about to take place in front of him; or followed Li Shimin, but no one was willing to work hard for the prince.

What's even more fatal is that Chang He, who was on duty at Xuanwu Gate that day, was the officer Li Shimin won over from the prince's camp; And on this day played a key role.

When Li Jiancheng arrived at the Linhu Palace, he found that the situation was abnormal and immediately turned his horse back; But it's too late.

Li Shimin appeared and shouted to stop Li Jiancheng; When the war came, it was obvious that Li Shimin was much more calm than Li Jiancheng.

And Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji found that the situation was not good at this time, Li Shimin's ambush appeared, and they were fully armed and murderous.

Li Yuanji took off his bow and arrow first, but he was too nervous; Although the brothers were not in a position to fight, they never seemed to have expected such a scene.

Therefore, Li Yuanji's bow and arrow were repeatedly unbeatable, but he couldn't pull the bow and catch the arrow.

It was still Li Shimin who was calm, and an arrow was shot, and the arrow passed through Li Jiancheng's throat, and Li Jiancheng was killed on the spot.

Li Jiancheng was caught off guard by this arrow, he was stunned there, and only heard a string sound; Then the arrow pierced through the air, and with the sound of the wind, it came straight for it.

In an instant, Li Jiancheng heard the sound of his laryngeal bone cracking; His eyes should have been staring at his second brother Li Shimin.

this own brother, this own political opponent; At this moment, he drew his bow and shot arrows, his movements were skillful, chic and relaxed.

Li Jiancheng didn't understand until he died, why the second brother's archery skills were so clever; This was the first arrow of the Xuanwumen Incident, which was personally issued by Li Shimin, and this first arrow was the final decision and solved the most important opponent.

As Li Shimin's first arrow pierced through the heavy morning air of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin's ambush soldiers fired arrows together, and Li Yuanji fell from his horse with an arrow.

Although Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji did not have many followers, they also had a small team after all, and they should fight back.

The scuffle between the two sides begins, and the following footage appears.

Li Shimin's horse was frightened, ran into the jungle and was hung on a tree; For a while, the centaurs were trapped and couldn't get up.

This is not the action that Li Shimin should do, when he sent the first arrow; I was also stunned by this arrow.

The eldest brother's eyes didn't seem to blink, and he kept looking at himself with a round eye.

He watched as the eldest brother had the arrow he had shot in his throat, and he tumbled off his horse without a sound; It never moved again.

He knew that his own brother had let himself send this arrow away completely.

His heart must not be good, his heart is in chaos, and he has forgotten to control his mount.

When Li Shiming finally woke up, the horse had tripped over a branch, and he was trapped and couldn't move.

What he didn't expect was that the place where he was trapped happened to be very close to Li Yuanji.

When Li Yuanji saw this situation, he immediately rushed over, he took Li Shimin's bow and arrows, and prepared to strangle Li Shimin with a bowstring.

The two sides began to fight, and at the last moment, Wei Chi Jingde shouted while Pegasus arrived.

Li Yuanji saw that there was a huge disparity between the enemy and me, turned around and fled, he wanted to run back to the Wude Palace.

Of course, Wei Chi Jingde would not let it go, and immediately shot an arrow from his back......
