After Li Yuanji saw that he couldn't get Wei Chi Jingde, he found another excuse to frame Cheng Biting Jin, the head of the Left First Horse Army of Li Yinjin's Palace, and Li Yuan issued an edict to release Cheng Biting Jin as the Assassin of Connecticut.

Cheng Yanjin dragged on the pretext of going to the table, and said to Li Yin: "The king's assistant ministers are about to run out, how can the king himself last long!" I swear not to leave the capital, and I hope that the king will decide on the plan as soon as possible. ”

Li Yuanji also used gold and silver cloth to lure Luo Shixin, the governor of the Ma army, and Luo Shixin gave all the things given by Li Yuanji to the beggars on the street.

Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuanji: "Among the wise and resourceful characters in the Jin Palace, the ones worth fearing are Fang Xuanling and Song Zhengben, only by getting these two people out of the Jin Palace, we can sit back and relax." ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji then framed Fang Xuanling and Song Zhengben to Li Yuan, causing them to be expelled.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling and Song Zhengben left the Jin Palace, Li Jiancheng was very happy with Li Yuanji and thought that the Jin Palace, so he did not send anyone to monitor the Jin Palace.

On this day, Li Yin's brother-in-law, Sun Wuji, and his uncle, Gao Shilian, who ruled Yongzhou, came to Chengde Hall together and persuaded Li Yin to make a decision and achieve great things as soon as possible!

The eldest grandson Wuji was still worried that Li Yin's heart was not firm enough, so he asked Li Yin: "What kind of person does the king think Yu Shun is?" ”

Li Yin said: "It's a saint." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "If Yu Shun did not escape the poisonous hands of his father and elder brother who filled in the soil on the well when he dredged the well, he would have turned into the soil in the well, and if he had not escaped the poisonous hands of his father and brother who set fire to the granary when he was decorating the granary, he would have turned into ashes on the granary, how could he make his grace spread all over the world, and the law would be passed on to future generations!"

Therefore, Yu Shun endured it when he was beaten by his father with a small stick, and fled when he was beaten by his father with a big stick, which is probably because Yu Shun was thinking about the world's major events. ”

After Li Yin heard this, he said with a slight expression on his face: "You don't have to worry about the auxiliary machine. ”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji left with confidence.

On this day, Li Yuanji once again secretly asked Li Yuan to kill Li Yin, and said: "The son of the King of Jin, whose name is Xiaohu'er, has committed the name of Emperor Taizu Jing (Li Hu), and he has no ancestor and no king, and his opposition has already been revealed.

Moreover, when he was quelling Liu Wuzhou's rebellion last year, he waited and watched the situation, refused to return to Chang'an, distributed money and cloth, established personal kindness, and disobeyed his father's order, not a rebellion, what is it! ”

Li Yuanji's two reasons for suing Li Yin this time, I have to say, they are all targeted, and they are much stronger than the words that were made out of nothing before, and they were obviously guided by clever people.

The person who pointed out Li Yuanji was the current crown prince Xima Wei Zheng.

After Wei Zheng returned from Hebei, he was appointed by Li Yuan as the crown prince of the East Palace, and when the East Palace was at odds with the King of Jin and the King of Qin, Wei Zheng repeatedly offered advice to Li Jiancheng, but it was basically not adopted.

Last night, Li Jiancheng convened the East Palace Bureau, ready to suggest to Li Yuan again to kill Li Yin, and asked everyone about the strategy, Wei Zheng said two things, Li Jiancheng thought it was very good, so he adopted it.

After Li Yuan listened to Li Yuanji's words, his face was cloudy for a while, but in the end he sighed and did not answer Li Yuanji's request.

But after Li Yin learned about this, he was uneasy, so he planned to start the plan in advance.

On this day, Fang Xuanling and Song Zhengben, who were originally expelled from Chang'an City, put on the clothes of Taoist priests, and entered the Jin Wangfu with the eldest grandson Wuji, while Yu Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin and others also quietly arrived at the Jin Wangfu by other roads one after another.

After Li Yin discussed the plan with the others, someone suggested that someone should decide whether they should take action.

But Li Yin took the tortoise shell and threw it on the ground, and reprimanded: "Divination is to decide difficult things, and now things are not difficult, what else is divination!" If the result of divination is unlucky, is it possible not to take action? ”

When the people heard this, they said no more.

On the third day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Wude, Li Yin played to Li Yuan, saying that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's harem concubines, and asked Li Yuan to find out the matter so that he could go down tomorrow.

After Li Yuan saw the song, he was very angry, and replied to Li Yin, promising that he would be anxious about Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji tomorrow to interrogate the matter in the early dynasty, and asked Li Yin to also go to the court.

The Chengde Hall where Li Yin lived, the Chengqian Hall where Li Shimin lived, and the backyard of the Wude Hall where Li Yuanji lived were originally unimpeded.

However, in view of the increasingly bad relationship between the princes, Li Yuan ordered people to block the more passages at the beginning of spring this year.

In this way, one place that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji must pass through to enter the palace is Xuanwu Gate.

On the fourth day of the first month, Li Yin led the eldest grandson Wuji and others to enter the court early and ambushed the troops of the Jin Palace's palace in Xuanwumen.

Yesterday, Zhang Jieyu secretly learned about Li Yin's play, and hurriedly went to tell Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng called Li Yuanji to discuss the matter, and Li Yuanji said: "We should command the troops in the East Palace and the Qi Palace, and pretend that we are sick and do not go to the court, so as to observe the situation." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "The army's defense is already very tight, and you and I should go to the court to see and inquire about the news in person." ”

So, the two entered the court together and walked towards the Xuanwu Gate. At that time, Li Yuan had already summoned Pei Lian, Xiao, Chen Shuda and others to prepare to inspect this matter.

When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came to the Linhu Hall near the Xuanwu Gate, they faintly heard the neighing of war horses, and noticed that the surrounding atmosphere was strange, and felt that things were not good, so they immediately turned their horses' heads and prepared to return to the East Palace and the Qi Palace.

At this time, Li Yin took the armor soldier and rode a horse to appear in the field of vision of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Without saying a word, Li Yuanji pulled out his bow and shot Li Yin, two or three times in a row, but he didn't pull the bow full because of nervousness, so none of the arrows could hit Li Yin.

Seeing this, Li Jiancheng no longer hesitated, and immediately patted his horse and galloped away into the distance.

Li Yin opened his bow and aimed at Li Jiancheng, so everyone who saw this scene held their breath.

Li Yin's expression was very complicated, and a thousand thoughts came to his heart, but he knew that if Li Jiancheng didn't die today, he would die, so as soon as he let go of his hand, the bow and arrow flew out!

After the sound of arrows, Li Jiancheng, who was galloping forward, fell off his horse.

The bow and arrow ran through Li Jiancheng's back, and immediately the blood flowed, and after a few breaths, he left this world with endless unwillingness and remorse.

Wei Chi Jingde led hundreds of cavalry to pursue Li Yuanji, and the soldiers around Yu Chi Jingde first shot Li Yuanji off his horse, and then Wei Chi Jingde rode up and cut off his head with a knife.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died one after another.

Subsequently, Li Yin commanded the men and horses, controlled the main roads of the palace, and let Wei Chi Jingde take the lead in leading the troops into the palace as a guard.

When Li Yuan saw Yu Chi Jingde wearing armor and holding Changyu with blood stains in his hand appearing in front of him, he immediately guessed what was going on, and the whole person sat on the dragon chair as if he had lost his soul......

On the third day after the Xuanwumen Incident, the remnants of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had basically been purged by Li Yin.

In the chaos of that day, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and his men tried to break into the palace for a while, but in the end they were unsuccessful, and when Li Yin slowly took control of the situation, he left Chang'an with his men.

After Li Shimin left Chang'an, he originally planned to go to Luoyang to raise troops to resist Li Yin, but he learned that Tongguan, Wuguan and other important places in the customs were already full of troops loyal to Li Yin, so he reluctantly turned around and went to the northwest.

On the sixth day of the fourth month, Li Yuan issued an edict to establish Li Yin as the crown prince, and issued an edict saying: "From today on, all affairs of the army and the state, no matter how big or small, will be handed over to the prince for decision, and then reported to me." ”

At this point, the power of the Tang Dynasty was transferred from Li Yuan to Li Yin.

Half a month later, Li Yin, in the name of Li Yuan, wantonly rewarded meritorious ministers.

Li Yin appointed Su Dingfang, the protector of the Qin Palace, as the general of the left guard, and appointed Cheng Yanjin as the general of the right Wuwei, Wei Chi Jingde as the general of the right Wuhou, Luo Shixin as the general of the left guard, Zhou An as the secretary of Taiyuan Daoxingtai, and Liu Hongji, Zhang Liang, Huang Junhan and others also had their own rewards.

Subsequently, Li Yin appointed Gao Shilian as the servant, Fang Xuanling as the Zhongshu Ling, Xiao as the left servant, Yu Wenshi and the right servant, the eldest grandson Wuji as the secretary of the ministry, and Song Zhengben as the secretary of the military department......

After using this series of appointments, Li Yin firmly controlled the center of the Tang Dynasty in his hands, and Li Yuan became a completely empty shelf.

On April 28, Li Yuan promulgated a document to appoint himself as the emperor and pass the throne to the crown prince Li Yin. Li Yin repeatedly refused, but Li Yuan refused to agree, so Li Yin reluctantly agreed.

On the first day of the fifth month of the fifth year of Wude, Li Yin was the emperor in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, and he granted amnesty to the world, with the crown princess Guanyin as the queen, and the Guannei area and Puzhou, Ruizhou, Yuzhou, Taizhou, Shaanzhou, and Dingzhou were exempted from rent and transfer for two years, and the rest of the places were exempted from forced labor for one year.

Although Li Yin succeeded to the throne as emperor, the world was still in turmoil, because he had to be wrong, and all places rose up against him.

Among them, the most powerful was Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who occupied Hexi, Lingzhou and other places at this time and raised troops to resist Li Yin.

The first thing Li Yin did after ascending the throne was to appoint generals to conquer the Quartet.

Li Yin took Su Dingfang as the general of the expedition to the east, crusaded and pacified the area east of Tongguan, took Li Shiji as the general of the expedition to the west, and led Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin and other fierce generals to the northwest to fight with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is a master of the art of war, and many of his subordinates are capable of fighting, and there are also the advice of Du Ruhui and other strategists, Li Shiji did not achieve good results in the early days of the war with him.

But with the passage of time, Li Yin slowly stabilized all parties in the Tang Dynasty, and the war potential began to be stimulated.

A year later, Li Yin personally conquered Hexi, and fought with Li Shimin for several months, Li Shimin was defeated by Li Yin in the decisive battle due to the narrow land and few soldiers, and finally exhausted, and continued to flee westward with the remnants, and the northwest of the Tang Dynasty settled down.

Li Shimin has fled to the Western Regions, was recruited by the king of Gaochang as a fast son-in-law of Chenglong, and the major affairs in the country were entrusted to his hands, Li Shimin after more than ten years, with the strength of Gaochang State, annexed the countries of the Western Regions, and then competed with Li Yin.

However, until Li Shimin died, he never had a chance to return to Chang'an City.

In the next two or three years, under the coordination of Li Yin, the Tang army began to continue to sweep the Quartet, Liu Heimin, who once again disturbed the situation in Hebei, the auxiliary duke who opposed the Tang Dynasty after seizing the power of the Jianghuai army, Li Mi, who fled to Gao Kaidao after the defeat of Dou Jiande, and the capricious Luo Yi......

The princes who divided one side after another were wiped out by the Tang army one after another, and the land of China was once again unified!

Subsequently, Li Yin issued an edict to recuperate, and a few years later, the population of the Tang Dynasty gradually became fuller, the people gradually became richer, and the country was strong and strong, and the Quartet came to the court.

A prosperous era that will be remembered forever by future generations is coming......

After the world was peaceful, Li Xiuning took off his military uniform and left his home in the Baiyun Temple of Shaohua Mountain, and over the years, Shaohua Mountain has also been the most fortunate place for Emperor Li Yin.

On this day, when Li Yin returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, he came to Shaohua Mountain again, and when he hiked to the top of the mountain, he saw Li Xiuning standing in the wind, beautiful as a fairy, just like when Li Yin first saw him......
