The night was already deep, the palace gate had been closed, and the originally brightly lit palace was slowly quiet, and even the lights were extinguished one after another, and the entire palace forbidden place seemed to be asleep.

However, on this quiet night, the lights were still on in Li Chengqian's bedroom in the East Palace, and the young and impulsive Du He stepped forward with an anxious face at this time and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Su Gan Chengji has been arrested, although he is implicated by the King of Qi, but no one dares to guarantee that he will not poke out our affairs, so I think it is better to start it in advance to avoid any changes!" ”

"Brother Du is right, I have contacted Hou Junji and Li Anyan to prepare in advance, and the assassins raised in the palace have also been prepared, as long as His Royal Highness gives an order, he can be killed in the palace immediately, and when His Majesty dies, this world will be the crown prince!" At this time, I saw that Zhao Jie also opened his mouth to persuade.

The news of the arrest of Rigan Chengji was first blocked, and they only found out about it yesterday, and then they immediately came to the East Palace to discuss with Li Chengqian, because on the surface, Li Chengqian's personal guard was actually one of the assassins raised by Li Chengqian, and even the main force to assassinate Li Tai, so he knew everything about Li Chengqian's rebellion.

"This ......" saw that Li Chengqian showed a hesitant expression at this time, since he saw that Chengxin was killed by Li Shimin that day, he had died for Li Shimin, and even had a grudge.

In fact, Li Chengqian's resentment towards Li Shimin is not just because of satisfactory things, but because Li Chengqian's dissatisfaction with Li Shimin has erupted in a concentrated manner for so many years, after all, he has been made a prince since he was a child, and in order to be a qualified prince, Li Chengqian also spent too much time and energy, but later Li Shimin doted on Li Tai, causing Li Tai to fight with him everywhere, and what made him even more chilling was that Li Shimin had always been in a laissez-faire attitude towards Li Tai, which made Li Chengqian finally die and decided to take back what belonged to him by himself.

Speaking of which, a large part of the reason why Li Chengqian had the above ideas was because Li Shimin had set a bad example for him, since Li Shimin was able to seize the throne by coup d'état, Li Chengqian felt that he could do the same, so he worked out a plan with Du He, Zhao Jie and others to assassinate Li Tai and Li Shimin.

In addition, Li Chengqian also co-opted Hou Junji and Li Anyan and other generals, among which Hou Junji has a prestige in the army, but he was punished for Gaochang's affairs before, and now he is not allowed to run the army at home, which makes Hou Junji also resentful, as long as Li Chengqian assassinates Li Shimin, Hou Junji will immediately go to the army to take over the power of the army, and Li Anyan is the official to worship the general of Zuotun Wei Zhonglang, in charge of the palace guards, can help Li Chengqian launch a coup d'état, and control the situation in the palace.

It can be said that Li Chengqian's rebellion has been completed, and it is owed to the east wind, but Li Chengqian has always been ruthless to launch a coup d'état, in fact, let alone him, when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen coup, he also hesitated for a long time, until he was about to be cornered, and Li Chengqian was far less decisive than Li Shimin.

It was also when Li Chengqian hesitated that Li You's incident happened, and Li Chengqian still looked down on Li You very much at that time, and even said to Du He and others around him: "The west wall of the East Palace is only a few dozen steps away from Da Nei, if we want to do big things, how can we get his turn to be a little King of Qi?" ”

It's a pity that Li Chengqian never dreamed that it was Li You who ruined his big thing, because Li You conspired against him, and Su Gan Chengji was arrested and put in prison, which made Li Chengqian also panic, Du He and Zhao Jie persuaded him to launch a coup d'état in advance since yesterday, so as not to have more dreams of the governor, but he has not been able to make up his mind.

"Prince, don't hesitate any longer, Su Gan Chengji has already been sentenced to death, maybe he will poke out our affairs in order to protect himself, and then it will be too late for you to do it again, prince!" At this time, Zhao Jie saw that Li Chengqian was still hesitant, and immediately stepped forward again to persuade him.

"Prince! If we don't do it again, tomorrow we may be greeted by His Majesty's butcher's knife! Du He also said sharply at this time, he was originally Du Ruhui's son, and he was Li Shimin's son-in-law, it can be said that he was born extremely noble, even if he doesn't do anything in the future, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

But as the so-called people's hearts are not enough, Du He was ambitious at a young age, and he was not willing to be only a noble horse captain, and even he had an unknown secret in his heart, that is, he had always taken Li Xiu as an example, not only to be a horse, but also to be an important minister under one person and above ten thousand people in the court, and if you want to realize this wish, the most likely way is to assist Li Chengqian to ascend the throne and make a contribution to the dragon, otherwise with his ability, don't think about it for the rest of your life.

Hearing Zhao Jie and Du He's persuasion again, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be a little shaken at this time, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart, because Su Gan Chengji was one of his most trusted henchmen, and this person was known for his bravery, plus it has been a while since Su Gan Chengji was arrested, and he has not confessed himself until now, so he feels that the other party may be tight-lipped and will not betray himself.

"Why don't you wait, isn't it too hasty to do it now?" Li Chengqian pondered for a long time before finally speaking.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't wait any longer, otherwise you and I will die without a place to be buried!" Zhao Jie saw that Li Chengqian still refused to make a decision, and he was also angry and anxious at the moment, and suddenly knelt down in front of Li Chengqian and pleaded.

Seeing Zhao Jie kneeling, Du He next to him also knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My subordinates know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking, but you and I can't all hope for the lives of this reckless man, in case he confesses the prince, it will only be cheaper for King Wei!" ”

Du He's last sentence finally stung Li Chengqian, after all, what he hated most was not Li Shimin, but his own brother Li Tai, to put it mildly, even if he couldn't be the prince, he would never want Li Tai to sit on the throne of the prince.

Thinking of the above, Li Chengqian finally said ruthlessly: "Okay, pass my order, everyone get ready, the big thing is on this night!" ”

With Li Chengqian's order, Du He and Zhao Jie also showed ecstatic looks, and then the two of them shouted to Li Chengqian, and then turned around and left here, and told everyone to get ready, for Du He and others, tonight is their gamble on everything, becoming the emperor and general, and if they lose, they will naturally have nothing, which makes all the people involved in this matter naturally feel extremely nervous.
