Chapter Seventy-Two: Poisoning

In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, the crown prince Li Jiancheng snorted coldly, and said to Li Yuanji in front of him: "Fourth brother, it seems that the second brother can't stay in Chang'an!" ”

Li Yuanji also smiled and said: "Yes, Li Shimin has been jumping up and down in recent days, contacting ministers everywhere, saying that he wants to move the Qin Palace's Mansion to Luoyang and merge it with Tiance Mansion!" He thought well, if he left Chang'an and went to Luoyang, wouldn't the land of Kanto be all his own? What was he at that time, the king of Shandong or the emperor of Shandong? ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, and continued: "The fourth brother is right. But fourth brother, you didn't do very well a few days ago! ”

He was talking about Zhang Liang a few days ago.

Li Yuanji suddenly "snorted": "How do I know how Zhang Liang can be so stubborn, he just doesn't say anything, and there are so many foreign ministers who will intercede for Zhang Liang!" ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly sighed and said: "A few days ago, when the Turks invaded the Kou, Li Shimin only fought one battle, and then made an alliance with the Turks, such a great contribution is really eye-catching!" And thinking of those fierce generals under him, don't talk about it, let's talk about this Zhang Liang, what benefits did Li Shimin give him, and let him be so desperate! What the second brother can give them, Lone can also give, and he can give more! Why don't they work for Lonely, you say? ”

Li Yuanji said: "Why don't the eldest brother use gold and silver and other things to buy those generals in the Qin Palace?" ”

Li Jiancheng listened, was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Then Li Yuanji said again: "Big brother, just buying generals is not a symptom of the problem, in my opinion, the cure is to kill Li Shimin!" As soon as Li Shimin dies, who else can he serve if the military generals under his account don't serve the eldest brother! ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes rolled, obviously moved.

Li Yuanji took the opportunity to say: "The junior brother got a poison a few days ago, put it in the wine and gave it to people, it will not attack immediately, but will have to wait for an hour. And when the poison attacked, the heart was crinuous and dizzy, very much like the appearance of vertigo! Do you want to get some? ”

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, fourth brother, I will have a banquet for Li Shimin tonight!" ”

When Li Shimin received the invitation from the East Palace, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. I will think that in the past few years, since I captured the two kings in one battle, swept away the land of Hebei, and made this groundbreaking contribution, it seems that the East Palace and the King of Qi have always had a hostile attitude towards themselves, and the two sides have done it a few times openly and secretly, but still no one can help anyone! Now, what's the deal with this invitation?

"Your Highness must not go!" When the eldest grandson Wuji saw this invitation, he immediately understood what Li Shimin was doing with his own people.

"Your Highness, do you remember the assassination of the Wu royal bureaucracy in the Spring and Autumn Period?" The eldest grandson Wuji said, "If His Highness dares to go to the East Palace and ambush the King of Qi with a sword and axe, then His Highness will not be in danger!" ”

Zhuzhu stabbed the king, and it was also Gongziguang who invited Wu Wangyi, secretly ambushed the knife and axeman, and let Zhuzhu's fish intestine sword hide in the belly of the fish, and when he served the food, he accidentally killed Wu Wangyi, and Gongziguang became the new King of Wu, and King Wu Lu.

"If His Highness doesn't go, wouldn't it seem that my Qin Wangfu is afraid of his East Palace?" Fang Xuanling said.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Zhang Yunwen sat at the end, listened to everyone's discussions, and suddenly remembered the poisoning of Li Shimin mentioned in the history books. Many scholars in later generations believed that this incident was fabricated by Li Shimin after he ascended to power in order to highlight the legitimacy of his ascension. But now it seems that there may be such a thing.

After rolling his eyes twice, Zhang Yunwen suddenly raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, I have something to say!" ”

The sound overshadowed the audience, and the hall fell silent.

"Oh, Yoonwen, what do you have to say?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

And everyone in the hall looked at Zhang Yunwen.

"Your Highness must go to this banquet!" As soon as these words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji reprimanded loudly: "Yunwen, you are fooling around, can Your Highness risk with your own life?" ”

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly stopped the eldest grandson Wuji from speaking, and continued: "Your Highness is not only going, but also poisoning back after you go!" ”

At this moment, many people in the hall heard the smell.

"Yunwen means that His Royal Highness went to the East Palace, pretended to be poisoned after drinking, and then came back?"

Zhang Yunwen nodded: "But don't drink anything, it's best not to eat anything, even if you drink, you have to fake drinking!" After sitting for a while, he said something like colic, or something like that, and then left the East Palace and went directly to the Chengqian Hall where His Highness lived when he lived in the palace, well, it is best to find two witnesses! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin suddenly smiled "haha": "Yunwen, you are a little clever!" ”

This pretends to be poisoned, first, you can quickly leave the East Palace, avoid any knives and axes, etc., and second, you can hit the East Palace, as long as you are poisoned in the East Palace, no matter who ordered it, whether it was poisoned or not, this black pot East Palace is decided.

As soon as Li Shimin said this, everyone in the hall suddenly looked at Zhang Yunwen with a kind of "teachable" gaze.

When night fell, outside the Changlin Gate of the East Palace, Li Shimin rode a high-headed horse and brought several fierce generals such as Wei Chi Gongcheng to the banquet.

Li Jiancheng, who got the news, also brought his subordinates from the East Palace to greet him.

The two faces and hearts did not agree with each other and slowly walked into the East Palace. While walking, those fierce generals of the Qin Wangfu were still observing on the side, seeing where to hide the sword and axe hands, which places to hide the archers, and where to set up the crossbow machine. However, to their surprise, there was no disturbance in these places where there might have been ambushes.

Before coming to a large table, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin sat down as guests of honor. The two of them were at a separate table, and the others were not qualified to dine at the same table with them for the time being.

Li Jiancheng clapped his hands, and suddenly saw rows of delicate palace ladies holding lacquer plates, walking lightly from outside with wine and food, and placing the delicacies in their hands, the elixir and jade liquid on the table.

"Come on, second brother, you and my brother haven't drunk together for a long time, and today is full of this cup! Hehe, this is a 'fairy drunk' produced by Natural Residence, but it's rare to see fine wine! Li Jiancheng picked up the wine utensils and greeted warmly.

Li Shimin secretly said in his heart: "Immortals are drunk"? What's so good about this, I drink this stuff every day!

Although he thought of it like this in his heart, his face was still full of smiles: "The eldest brother is polite, the younger brother should give the eldest brother a cup!" ”

"What is disrespectful, you and my brother, just drink!" Li Jiancheng raised his head and shouted, but his eyes were slanted at Li Shimin. I saw the latter holding the wine utensils in one hand, covering the wine utensils with the wide sleeves of the other hand, and raised his head to drink. The wine flowed from the corners of his mouth, the Adam's apple kept squirming, Li Jiancheng finally put his mind at ease, Li Shimin still drank this wine.

Seeing that Li Shimin drank the wine, Li Jiancheng warmly greeted him to eat.

As soon as the wine utensils were empty, the two palace ladies standing behind the two of them each held a delicate wine jug and filled their wine glasses.

However, what he didn't know was that Li Shimin didn't drink that glass of wine at all. Covering it with his sleeve when drinking, he was afraid that Li Jiancheng would see his movements. Under the cover of his sleeves, Li Shimin quickly spilled the wine on the placket of his clothes, and when there was still some wine left in the wine utensils, he poured it on his lips, and the wine stayed down his chin. As for the peristalsis of the Adam's apple, I believe that any person can do it!

Of course, Li Jiancheng would not be relieved of Li Shimin, and after greeting for a while, he raised the wine utensils and wanted to have another drink.

Li Shimin smiled, also raised the drinking utensils, and was about to drink, when he suddenly frowned, and his whole body suddenly froze.

There was a "clang" and the wine glass fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the fierce generals of the Qin Palace's mansion moved all of a sudden. "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a trace of bloodshot at the corner of Li Shimin's mouth.
