Jin Wuwei's soldiers followed Xue Rengui, only to find that he did not go straight to the palace, but entered the Kaihuafang. They immediately became furious, thinking that they had been deceived, and shouted and chased after them.

Not long after, they saw Xue Rengui enter the Qi Palace, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they simply stayed at the gate of the Qi Palace, waiting for the Qi Palace's Mansion to give an explanation.

At this point, it was already 4:10.

Not long after, Li You, the king of Qi, came out, and when he saw Jin Wuwei's soldiers, he said, "Xue Rengui does have an urgent military report, so I will go to the palace to see the driver." You are very good at your faithfulness, and I will tell the Duke of Eguo that he will reward you. ”

The soldiers were very happy and took their leave, and Li You also hurried towards the palace.

4:40 a.m., Liangyi Hall, study.

Li Shimin was changing his clothes and was about to go to the reception banquet, Wang De and two palace maids helped Li Shimin sort out his clothes.

Li You hurriedly pushed the door in, he didn't bother to salute Li Shimin, and said to Wang De and the others, "You guys go out first." ”

After everyone left, Li Shimin asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li You whispered the information provided by Li to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's brows furrowed, he pondered for a moment, and his brows stretched. He said calmly: "It's okay, I have my own way, let's talk about it after the banquet first." ”

Li You admired Li Shimin very much, and said in his heart: "What is the meaning of Mount Tai collapsing in front and not changing." The first emperor of the ages is by no means in vain. ”

Five o'clock sharp, Tai Chi Hall Banquet Hall.

In the vast hall, there are many high-ranking friends and crowns. People who know each other well talk loudly, and the whole big store is as lively as a vegetable market.

At this time, if someone pays close attention to observing, they find that many of the generals of the military seem a little silent, and many people seem a little nervous.

"Your Majesty has arrived." With a sharp voice, the hall suddenly fell silent, and then, Li Shimin walked out.

The banquet began, and Li Shimin first delivered a passionate speech, in which he recalled that at the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the Tang Army sacrificed their lives and fought bloody battles to establish and consolidate the great cause of the Tang Dynasty. In particular, he remembered the generals of the Prince's Mansion who followed Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, full of hardships and deep comradeship.

Li Shimin was very emotional, and when he talked about emotion, he even wiped away tears.

Many of the generals of the Tang Army were moved by this, and some of the generals who participated in the military plan felt a little ashamed.

Li Shimin said: "The heroes of the Tang Dynasty, the great sacrifices you have made for the great cause established by the Tang Dynasty will never be forgotten by the imperial court. I, Li Shimin, swear to heaven here that I will share life and death with you, and as long as Datang exists for one day, I will ensure your glory and wealth. ”

As soon as he said this, many military generals were shaken.

Li You was full of admiration when he heard this, and said in his heart: "After all, Li Shimin is worthy of his reputation, his acting skills are extraordinary, and his heart-attacking tactics are really perfect." ”

After listening to Li Shimin's speech, Li also felt at ease, he had already understood, His Majesty must have received his early warning.

At this time, Li Shimin picked up his wine glass and said: "Today is the day to celebrate the success of my heroic Tang army soldiers to pacify Xue Yantuo and eliminate the hidden dangers in the northern borderlands. ”

With that, he stood up, took a glass of wine, and drank it down.

The generals in the banquet hall said in unison, "Your Majesty." He drank all the wine from his glass.

After Li Shimin sat down, Wang De shouted: "Go to dance and music." ”

With the sound of silk and bamboo, two teams of dancers in colorful costumes came to the middle of the banquet hall with graceful dance steps.

The first stage was the light and graceful soft dance "Qu Zhezhi".

"The pheasant is in the clear mirror, and Shi Yan goes to Yaojin. How can it be like a guest meeting, long-sleeved into China. The body is as light as boneless, and the viewers are all shrugged. The song is back to the body, and the waves are still paying attention. "The dancers are light, the autumn waves are flowing, and the dancing skills are superb and graceful, and the guests are fascinated by it.

However, those generals with evil intentions have no intention of appreciating and fidgeting.

Then, a rousing drum beat sounded, and a group of mighty armor warriors rushed out, they lined up in a neat line, stepped on the drums, and danced a vigorous dance. This is the famous "King Qin's Breaking Array Music".

"King Qin Breaking Array Music" was originally a military song of the Tang Army, which was created by Li Shimin, in 620 AD, after defeating Liu Wuzhou, its lyrics were revised, and many of the lyrics were filled in by the soldiers of the Qin Palace. Later, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he choreographed it into a dance.

This dance drum shook the sky, spread for hundreds of miles, the momentum was majestic, and the sky was moved. It is a symbol of the heyday of the ancient Chinese nation, and its momentum is extraordinary.

The officers and soldiers of the Tang Army liked this song and dance the most, and every time they saw it, they felt emotional, and they couldn't help but tremble, and they would join the dance when the occasion was right.

However, at this moment, the person with a heart felt a strong murderous aura, which filled the air.

Li saw that the mighty general Yang Zaiyuan was eager to try, and couldn't help but look at the general Li Jing, who was like an old monk at this time, looking intently at the wine glass in front of him. Li was anxious, but helpless.

Yang Zaiyuan and the others cheered each other with their eyes, ready to attack.

Finally, the song and dance are over.

Yang Zaiyuan stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, ...... minister"

Li You was nervous for a while, Li simply closed his eyes, and loved it.

"Isn't this General Yang Zaiyuan?!" At this moment, Li Shimin interrupted Yang Zaiyuan's words, and he said kindly: "General Yang, since you went to Youzhou in the 8th year of Zhenguan, we haven't met again. Today, I am very happy to see you, come, come, you guard the border for the Tang Dynasty, and I will toast you first. ”

Li Shimin drank it all, then turned the wine glass downward, indicating that he had drunk the wine in the cup.

Yang Zaiyuan said helplessly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." With that, he picked up his glass and drank all the wine in it.

Li Shimin didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "Today, there are many of my love coming from afar, and I am very happy. Today, I want to get drunk with all Aiqing. In order to drink and enjoy themselves, I now make a decree that no one should talk about anything unrelated to the feast. Come on, let's have a drink together. ”

Yang Zaiyuan and others originally wanted to take advantage of the banquet to suddenly attack, which caught Li Shimin off guard and forced him to agree to the implementation of the conscription system, but Li Shimin's holy decree disrupted their plan. Yang Zaiyuan did not want to rebel, so he did not dare to openly resist the decree.

Yang Zaiyuan and the others had no choice but to cancel the plan and wait until they went back to discuss it.

Li You, Li and Xue Rengui, who knew the details, were deeply impressed by Li Shimin's wit.

In this way, Li Shimin bought precious time to calmly deal with the crisis.

Liangyi Palace, study.

After the banquet, Li Shimin immediately summoned Li Chengqian, Li You, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Wei Zheng, Zhang Liang and others to urgently discuss countermeasures.

When Li Shimin reported that the generals were preparing to attack at the banquet, everyone was surprised.
