As for what the prince said, why did Li Yuanji's attitude change so much that he turned his head to deal with King Qin?

Without him, just because Li Jiancheng promised, once he ascended the throne and sat in the palace, he would crown Li Yuanji as the emperor's younger brother, and his brother would end his life.

This is undoubtedly a powerful medicine for the ambitious Li Yuanji! Right in his hands!

With the prince's guarantee, the capricious and mercenary Li Yuanji naturally stood with him with an iron heart.

Li Yuanji was anxious to express his position in front of the crown prince, and Li Lingzhi was in a daze, so he simply wanted to kill the king of Qin.

Pei Ju was shocked when he heard this, although King Qin was the prince's henchman, and he had long hoped to get rid of him, but now was not the best time to get rid of King Qin.

First, the King of Qin still held the military power in his hands at this time, with outstanding merits, and his prestige in the army was not small.

Second, King Qin also has a lot of support in the court, and his foundation is not shallow. If he killed the King of Qin at this time without removing his wings, how could those people under him give up?

Immediately, the government and the opposition will be shaken, and if it is not good, it will hurt the country. This is not what the prince wants to see, it is a matter of course for the prince to ascend the throne and sit in the palace in the future, everything is based on safety, after all, no one wants to take over a mess.

According to the prince's original plan, the Qin king's military power should be cut first, and his wings should be cut off, so that the Qin king would fall into an isolated and helpless situation. Finally, the king of Qin and the king of Qi were eliminated to achieve the goal of a smooth transition.

But this King of Qi is really reckless and impulsive. If it is messed up according to his ideas, it will not be a big matter for the prince.

Pei Ju hurriedly dissuaded, but Li Yuanji was stubborn and self-conscious, thinking that one was one out, but it was just one of the straw bales in Jinyu, so how could he listen to his dissuasion.

Li Yuanji was full of the prince's promise at this time, and he couldn't wait to kill the king of Qin immediately and let the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that he could also taste the taste of being the emperor's younger brother.

Leaving behind Pei Ju, who had been persuaded to no avail and was about to cry urgently, Li Yuanjixing rushed out of the secret room, walked quickly to the front hall, and as he walked, he commanded loudly, "Yuwenbao!" Yuwenbao! Where the fuck are you! Don't hurry up and get over to this king! ”

As the commander of the left and right guards of the Qi Palace, Yu Wenbao is responsible for protecting the safety of the King of Qi, and has always been around Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji was hot-headed by the three words of the emperor's brother, and ordered, "You go and choose fifty henchmen and guards, hide the sharp blade, and ambush in the Chaolu Palace." Later, when I feasted the King of Qin, I smashed the cup as a number, and then led people to rush out, and I must kill the King of Qin here! ”

"Whoa! The prince can rest assured, the last general will personally lead the team, and he will definitely chop the King of Qin and them into pulp! Yu Wenbao slapped his chest on the mountain, swearing a promise.

Li Yuanji nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yuwenbao, if you do this, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!" This king is the general of the Sixteen Guards, and it is not difficult! ”

When Yu Wenbao heard Li Yuanji's words, he was also excited, took the order, went down to count the manpower, and secretly laid an ambush.

Besides, Li Mingyu, who sat in the house with sore legs and numb feet, said hello to Li Shimin, and came out of the courtyard to breathe.

Out of Li Yuanji's study, he walked into the courtyard. Although this Li Yuanji is not a well-educated person, the courtyard of this study is really good.

The courtyard is connected with the road, the mountains and stones are embellished, the lake water pavilion is close, the spring water is secluded, although the flowers are withering in winter now, through the ingenious arrangement, it also looks quiet and elegant, plus a snowfall last night, wrapped in silver, there is a different flavor.

Mingyu walked around the courtyard, enjoying the winter garden scenery while moving his muscles and bones.

Just turned a rockery, and suddenly saw a palace maid hurriedly approaching, Mingyu was stunned, only felt that this maid's appearance was familiar, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere, but suddenly he couldn't remember.

In a moment, the maid had already passed by him, and only heard the maid's thin voice coming into his ears, "Tell King Qin, Chaolu Palace, Hongmen Banquet!" Come on! ”

Mingyu was stunned, he naturally knew the allusion to the Hongmen Banquet, but what kind of place was this Chaolu Palace? Coupled with the maid's brainless words, it was clearly giving him a warning.

But Li Yuanji has obviously said in person that he has broken with the prince and come to their side, could it be that there is something wrong with it?

Yes! Mingyu patted his head, and suddenly remembered, isn't this maid one of the several maids who follow Princess Qi? No wonder it looks familiar, I only saw it not long ago. Could it be that Princess Qi got some clues, and someone wanted to be unfavorable to King Qin, so she was sent to report the news?

Could it be that Li Yuanji's subordinates were bribed by the crown prince and made their own decisions, wanting to assassinate the King of Qi, or was it simply Li Yuanji himself who turned his face ruthlessly and betrayed his promise?

Thinking of this, Mingyu frowned, and he didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard. Quicken your pace and walk to the study, wanting to discuss a countermeasure with your second uncle, Li Shimin.

As soon as he returned to the door of the study, he saw Li Yuanji, who had returned, holding Li Shimin's hand and walking out.

Li Yuanji said as he walked, "Second brother, I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, so I will treat it as a junior brother to make amends for today's recklessness and make amends for the second brother!" It's rare for our brothers to have time to get together, and we will not get drunk today! ”

Li Shimin was about to continue to woo Li Yuanji during the banquet to talk about the unfinished matter, but he also nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked in front, and Wei Chigong followed closely behind. Although Mingyu was anxious, he was helpless, and there were some things that he really couldn't say in front of Li Yuanji. Could it be that your wife sent someone to inform you that someone like you is going to be unfavorable to King Qin? Then Li Yuanji is afraid that it is possible to turn his face on the spot.

Mingyu sighed secretly, and now he had to act at the opportunity, taking one step at a time. pressed the handle of the Hongming knife, and if the secret path was true, he would let go and kill a bloody way!

Not long after walking, before coming to a large-scale palace in the palace, I looked up and saw that the huge golden silk nanmu plaque had gold characters on a black background, and an iron painting silver hook, which read the words "Chaolu Palace"!

Looking at the name of this hall, Ming Yu's heart tightened suddenly. Looking at Li Yuanji again, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his expression was different, his eyes flickered, and he held Li Shimin's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would go away and enter the hall when he stepped forward.

"Second uncle...... Mingyu said something to remind Li Shimin to be careful of deception.

Before Li Shimin could answer, Li Yuanji had already pulled him in and out of the door, and said with a smile, "Mingyu, come in!" The fourth uncle has prepared a banquet, and he will have a few drinks with the fourth uncle later. With that, he pulled Li Shimin into the Chaolu Palace.

Mingyu was anxious in his heart, this Li Yuanji was so cunning, and he didn't give him the opportunity to talk to Li Shimin alone.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pull Wei Chi Gong beside him, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Wei Chi, beware of no good wine, no good banquet!" I can't say that you have to learn that Fan Xue today! ”

Wei Chigong was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood. The tiger's eyes widened, sneered, and said, "Just rely on him Li Yuanji?" A certain borrowed two guts from him! You can rest assured! With your old black uncle here, no one will want to hurt half a hair! With that, he shook his spirits and followed in.

Mingyu listened to what Wei Chigong said, and there was also a sense of pride in his heart. Remembering that a few of them followed Li Shimin to the camp of Dou Jiande's 100,000-strong army to reconnoiter the enemy's situation before the Tiger Prison Pass, Dou Jiande dispatched thousands of iron cavalry to help them, but instead lost his troops and lost his generals. Just Li Yuanji, why be afraid! If he dares to make a move, it's a big deal that the master will kill him upside down, and the blood will stain the Qi Palace!

Thinking of this, Mingyu also relieved himself and strode into the Chaolu Palace.

The scale of this Chaolu Hall is really not small, the length and width of the main hall alone are thirty or forty zhang, magnificent, graceful and luxurious.

Yunding sandalwood is used as a beam, and golden silk nanmu is used as a column. There are crystal lamps hanging on it, and the candles are bright. There is a huge night pearl embedded in the treasure top of the hall, which is reflected by the lights, shining brightly, and the brilliance is brilliant.

The ground is covered with a cashmere carpet from the Western Regions, which is more than an inch thick, walking gold and silver threads, delicate and gorgeous, and well-made, and people walk on it, soft as if stepping on the clouds.

The doors of the side halls on both sides were tightly closed, and I could see if there was an ambush inside.

Several people had already sat down, and when they saw Mingyu coming in, Li Yuanji beckoned and said, "Mingyu, take a seat!" ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the rich and noble families with status all implemented the food sharing system, and the Qi Wangfu was naturally no exception. Li Yuanji sat on the main seat, while Li Shimin sat on his left hand side, facing east.

Wei Chigong's identity is not enough, so he can't sit at the same table with the two of them and sit at the door. And there was also an empty seat opposite him, which I thought was reserved for Li Mingyu.

When Mingyu saw this seating arrangement, he secretly frowned. I don't know if this is the case with the ancient rules, or if Li Yuanji specially arranged it, their case is still five or six zhang away from Li Shimin. If someone at the banquet takes the opportunity to break out, they are afraid that they will not be able to reach the whip.

Which line is that? The most important task at the moment is to ensure that Li Shimin is safe and sound, and there can be no mistakes.

Wei Chigong was limited to his status and was not easy to propose, but Mingyu was not afraid, he was cheeky and said with a hippie smile, "Fourth uncle, how did you arrange your little nephew to be so far away from you?" Aren't you afraid you won't be able to drink me? ”

Every time Li Yuanji heard him call the fourth uncle, he felt unhappy with the boss in his heart, phew! Something that climbs along the pole is shameless! I don't know where the third child picked up the wild seeds, and I still want to be related to this king! Are you worthy? But after all, he has a bit of a city government, and he said with a smile, "Oh, it's the fourth uncle's negligence." Come on, come on! Sit down to the fourth uncle! ”

After speaking, with a slap, a few waiters walked in outside the door, and rearranged the seats according to Li Yuanji's instructions.

After Li Mingyu sat down with Li Shimin's hands down, Li Yuanji slapped his hand again.

Two rows of maids walked in with wine and food, not big, cups and plates were listed, and the table was full of fine wines and delicacies.

More than a dozen musicians sat in the corner holding the pipa and silk bamboo. After the strings were slightly tuned, a burst of beautiful sounds came to my ears.

During the banquet, the bell is ringing and the music is melodious. The sandalwood rising from the smoker, the smoke fills the air. In the Chaolu Palace, the bell rings and eats, and the paper is drunk and golden.

Li Yuanji frequently raised his glass, talked and laughed uncontrollably, and kept persuading him to drink. Li Shimin also has the heart to get closer to him, and the wine is dry, and those who come will not refuse.

Mingyu saw Li Shimin's drinking glass after glass, his heart was about to rise to his throat, and secretly said My second uncle, your heart is too big, aren't you afraid that your good brother will poison you in the wine and food? However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no other way but to concentrate on vigilance, staring at Li Yuanji with his eyes tightly, ready to break out at any time once he makes a move.

When the wine was half-drunk, Li Shimin gradually realized that something was wrong. He deliberately mentioned several times that he wanted to establish an offensive and defensive alliance with Li Yuanji to fight against the crown prince, but Li Yuanji talked about him left and right and shirked the past. is full of wind and snow, compared with Li Yuanji, who gritted his teeth in the study before, and made a vow to be inseparable from the prince, it is like two people.

Li Yuanji also gradually felt that Li Shimin was a little impatient, and knew that the time was almost up, so he used the excuse to drink, but in fact, he raised his glass in his hand, looking at Li Shimin and sneering secretly, second child! Dick! Don't blame me for being ruthless, who made the big brother offer a higher price! Hum! You're going to stay here! Today next year will be your death day!

In the side halls on both sides of the Chaolu Palace, it was Yuwenbao with the armor soldiers who were secretly ambushing, and they were already ready with knives and guns, just waiting for him to drop the cup.

I saw Li Yuanji's expression sharpened, he raised his hand, and threw the wine glass on the ground!
