Located between Daozheng Fang and Yongjia Fang, Longqing Fang, or it can be called King Zheng's Mansion, has a seven-storey bamboo building called Zhaonan Pavilion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In terms of height, Zhaonan Pavilion can be regarded as one of the top ten buildings in Chang'an City.

However, its role is a place for Pei Cuiyun, the eldest grandson Wujian and Mao Xiaonian to play with their children. Looking south from here, you can enjoy the style of Chang'an. It's just that everyone knows that the so-called Zhaonan is looking forward to Li Yanqing, the king of Henan, who is far away in Lingnan, and will return as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether it is Li Yuan or others, there is no opinion on this.

But at this time, the people sitting in the Zhaonan Pavilion were not Pei Cuiyun's eldest grandson Wujian and Mao Xiaonian and others.

Chai Xiaohe subdued the railing, looked in the direction of the Suzaku Gate, and saw the faint light of the fire at the head of the Miyagi City, and there was a sudden increase in the coldness of his eyes.

"Are Wen Yudong and Long Qi ready?"

"If you go back to the museum, the Wen Protector and the Dragon Protector are already ready...... As soon as the fire is set in the south, they will act immediately. ”

"Ladies, are you safe?"

"Before dark, the three ladies and the prince secretly evacuated from Yanxingmen, and it is estimated that it is past Bashang at this time, and they are rushing to Tongguan."

"Very good!"

Chai Xiaohe nodded and continued to stare in the direction of the imperial city.

There was no expression on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.

The prince really didn't guess wrong, King Qin is now difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only break the cauldron and take a risk...... It's a pity that it is not clear who will win this victory. Chai Xiaohe only got Li Yanqing's warrant and ordered him to disturb Chang'an tonight...... But what will Li Yanqing's backhand be? Chai Xiaohe is not clear. But Chai Xiaohe believes that the final victory must belong to his father-in-law. If nothing else, just for Li Yanqing's calculations, you can see the difference.

Sun Wu said at the beginning of the thirteenth chapter: The husband is the victor without a fight...... More wins, less wins, what's more?

Since the fourth year of Wude, Li Yanqing seems to have known that this day has come.

From Li Yanqing successively arranged for Liu Heng and Zheng Dabiao to join the army, and later served as the guard of Yanxing Gate, and Wen Yudong and Long Qi successively became the forbidden army, all of which showed Li Yanqing's unpredictable prophet. With so many calculations, can the lord be invincible? Although Li Yanqing has not returned to Chang'an in recent years, in fact? Li Yanqing's grasp of Chang'an has never relaxed for a moment...... After tonight, maybe everything will be clear......―――――――――――――――――――――――― Li Shimin held a long lance and pounced on Li Jiancheng with a fierce momentum.

Li Jiancheng finally came to his senses: Li Shimin is going to kill him!

"Stop him!"

Li Jiancheng roared, scrambling to get the weapon. But he forgot...... He came back from the funeral and was not armed with anything but a sword. Although the Donggong guards were powerful, this happened so suddenly that before they could react, the team had already been dispersed.

The soldiers and horses in Li Shimin's hands, in addition to the elite Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers of Tiance Mansion, also have the tiger guards of Li Xuanba, the king of Zhao.

These two teams are brave warriors who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are obviously much more clever than the guards of the East Palace.

Li Jiancheng left the battlefield after three years of martial arts and returned to Chang'an. And the Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers and Tiger Guards have not stopped their expeditions in the past few years. In particular, Li Xuanba's Tiger Guards were all elite soldiers selected from the border army. They are tall, strong and powerful, and what is even more terrifying is the unique bravery and outlaw temperament of the border army, which is by no means comparable to the pampered guards of the East Palace.

In an instant, the guards of the East Palace broke up and fled.

"Prince, go quickly!"

Several guards desperately stopped Li Shimin and shouted loudly.

Li Jiancheng finally reacted: Yes, what am I entangled with Erlang here?

I saw him hissing and shouting: "Stop the thief for me!" ”

After speaking, Li Jiancheng turned his horse and left.

As Li Yanqing once said, so far, Li Shimin is really difficult to ride a tiger...... Li Yuan handed over the funeral of Princess Pingyang to Li Jiancheng, which is equivalent to sending a very clear signal to the outside world: Li Jiancheng is my heir, and this will never change.

Li Jiancheng became the emperor, then Li Shimin would be miserable!

As a contender for the crown prince's position, Li Shimin knows very well that once Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, he will inevitably settle accounts with him. Even if Li Jiancheng's surname is generous, it is impossible to tolerate a brother who is vying for the throne to be happy. Li Shimin didn't know that Li Yuan had already thought of a way back for him...... Even if you think about it, what can you do? Li Jiancheng became the emperor, and it was easy to kill him.

What's more, the supporters behind Li Shimin will not allow him to stop there.

Li Jiancheng may let Li Shimin go, but will he let go of those strategists and ancestors who once supported Li Shimin against Li Jiancheng?

The answer is obvious...... Therefore, when Li Jiancheng went to preside over the funeral, Tiance Mansion also quietly issued instructions one after another.

Li Shimin has also been operating in Chang'an for many years, and in the army, he also has a certain amount of power. The Suzaku Gate Keeper Chang He is nominally the East Palace Guard. But in reality? has already been bought by Li Shimin and has become a chess piece he has placed in the East Palace.

Li Shimin knew that if he didn't take action, he would not die a good death.

In that case, he had no choice but to take a risk...... At the same time, Li Shimin secretly ordered Qu Tutong to detain Li Yanqing in Luoyang, and if Li Yanqing resisted, he could be killed on the spot. When everything was arranged, he mobilized his troops and prepared for the operation. Seeing that something big could be done, Li Shimin naturally couldn't easily let Li Jiancheng escape. If Li Jiancheng is allowed to escape, then he will be completely finished!

"The prince conspired to rebel, this king was ordered to rebel, only the first evil, the East Palace guards surrendered immediately, otherwise they will be killed!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly, making the guards of the East Palace hesitate.

After all, this is Chang'an, and this is Yanjing...... As a prince, how could Li Shimin rebel? The only possibility is that King Qin really got the emperor's edict and came to kill Li Jiancheng. This is a habitual thinking, and no one could have thought that Li Shimin would seriously rebel.

Li Jiancheng also reddened his eyes, "Don't listen to the anti-thief gossip to confuse the public, he ......"

Before the words fell, I only heard the sound of the bowstring.

Cheng Yanjin rushed out of the palace gate, killed Li Yuanji first, and saw that Li Jiancheng was leaving, so he hurriedly drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow.

Li Jiancheng has been pampered for many years, and this riding and archery kung fu has long been discarded.

By the time he realized that Sharp Arrow was coming, it was too late. I only heard a pop, and the sharp arrow hit Li Jiancheng's shoulder. Li Jiancheng didn't wear armor either, the sharp arrow didn't sink into his shoulder, and he only screamed in pain and fell off the horse.

At the same time, Li Shimin had already broken out of the encirclement, and Pegasus came to Li Jiancheng.

After Li Jiancheng fell off the horse, he staggered up from the ground, and before he could stand firmly, the horse lance in Li Shimin's hand had already arrived.

"Erlang, you actually killed me......"

Li Jiancheng couldn't believe that his own brother would be so ruthless until he died.

The lance sank into his chest, and Li Jiancheng's eyes widened, and there was still a look of disbelief in his eyes. And Li Shimin blushed his face, twisted the lance in his hand, and threw Li Jiancheng's body to the ground. It's just that in this moment, he doesn't have much joy...... In my mind, I unconsciously think of all kinds of ...... when I was a child On the vast grassland, Li Jiancheng hugged him, rode a horse, and galloped indulgently...... Brother, don't blame me!

It's only to blame you and I for being born in the emperor's family!

Tears flashed in the tiger's eyes, and Li Shimin slowly put away the lance.

At this time, Liang Shitai hammered the horse to come closer, and seeing Li Shimin's appearance, he couldn't help but close his mouth and watch silently.

"Follow me to the Taiji Palace to rescue the driver!"

After a brief period of sadness, Li Shimin quickly perked up.

He turned his head and gently wiped the tears from his face, and the horse lance was held high and shouted loudly.

The death of the guards of the East Palace, the surrender of the surrender, have stopped resisting.

Li Shimin ordered Cheng to bite the gold to clean up the mess, rushed into the Suzaku Gate with soldiers and horses, and galloped all the way along the Chengtianmen Street in the imperial city.

It's just that no one noticed that not long after the battle of Suzaku Gate ended, a raging fire ignited in the Longqing Fang in the distance...... Chengtianmen Street, the main street that connects Suzaku Gate and Chengtianmen.

Entering from the Chengtian Gate is where the Taiji Palace is located. The Suzaku Gate Incident happened so suddenly and ended so quickly that the defenders everywhere had already ended before they could get the news. At this moment, Li Shimin's heart was full of joy!

The guard of Chengtianmen is the general Hou Junji under the third brother Zhao Wang.

As for the origin of this Hou Junji, Li Shimin also knows something. It is said that Hou Junji was originally a general under Dou Jiande, and after Dou Jiande was killed, Hou Junji fled to his hometown and prepared to remain incognito. But he didn't want to be captured by Li Xuanba, so he threw himself into Li Xuanba's work, and in the past few years, he has made many military exploits and is a good fighter in war.

Li Shimin dared to launch the Suzaku Gate Change, and naturally won Li Xuanba's approval.

Otherwise, with the power of Tiance Mansion alone, Li Shimin may not dare to launch it so blatantly. But with the addition of Li Xuanba, he naturally put his mind at ease. Li Xuanba held the Chang'an Forbidden Army and controlled the Northern Ya. Without Li Xuanba's cooperation, it would be impossible for the forbidden army in the city to have not moved until now. Anyway, the crown prince and Sanhu are already dead, and the father has only one way to the Zen throne.

So far, Li Shimin has no way out.

If Li Yuan doesn't take the Zen position, he will be the next unlucky one.

Since he can kill his brother and brother ruthlessly, next, even if it is his own son, he can't stand in his way.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt some happiness in his heart.

The depression that had been suppressed by Li Yuan for many years seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

Chengtianmen was already far away, and Li Shimin urged the horse to come to the palace city, but found that the palace gate was closed.

It stands to reason that Saburo should open the palace door? Why is it that at this time, the door is still closed?

In my heart, a hint of bad omen suddenly appeared.

Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Where is San Lang?" ”

On Miyagi, torches are lit.

In the firelight, as Li Shimin shouted loudly, Li Xuanba's figure appeared in Li Shimin's sight.

I saw Li Xuanba dressed in military uniform, wearing a twisted lion gold helmet, wearing gold armor, holding a sword in his hand, and looking at the city with burning eyes.

"Second brother!"

"San Lang, why don't you open the door quickly?"

Li Xuanba sighed softly and asked, "Where are the prince and Sanhu?" ”

"Huh?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Xuanba in amazement, and his face showed even more surprise.

"Saburo, what are you talking about?"

Li Xuanba showed a touch of sadness and shook his head gently, "Second brother, I didn't expect you to be so frustrated, and actually took advantage of the third sister's burial to rebel...... Second brother, you disappointed me so much, how could you do this? Even if there is something wrong with the eldest brother and Sanhu, you shouldn't ...... Listen to me, quickly dismount, put down the weapon in your hand, and go with me to ask my father for his guilt.

I am willing to be a guarantee, and my second brother will have no worries about your surname! ”

Li Shimin, Ji Lingling shuddered...... "San Lang, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"Second brother, when you borrowed troops from me, you didn't say that you were going to rebel. If it weren't for Liang Shitai who sent someone to report just now, I would have almost ...... The second brother immediately put down his weapon, dismounted and surrendered. If not, don't blame my little brother for being ruthless! ”

There was a buzzing sound in his head, and Li Shimin was stunned.

The young man in front of him is still the San Lang who followed him, opened a second brother, and closed a second brother?

In this world, the most terrible thing is that people's **......** can change everything, can make father and son turn against each other, and brothers become enemies. He can be ruthless to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, so can't Li Xuanba design himself again for the throne?

It's just that this brother is too enduring...... Li Shimin didn't even know when Li Xuanba started to have the ambition to win the heir.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.

He glanced left and right and saw that Liang Shitai was nowhere to be seen.

"San Lang, good means, good means!"

"Second brother, I'll say it one last time, get off the horse and tie it up immediately, otherwise Hugh blames the little brother for being ruthless."

"San Lang, San Lang, I always thought you were a martial idiot who had no ambition and only knew about military affairs...... Hehe, but I don't want you to be the most powerful one among these many brothers......"

"Second brother, get off the horse and tie it up immediately!"

"But San Lang, if you want the fisherman to profit, it's not that easy."

Li Shimin suddenly took out a firework from his pocket and quickly lit it. Listen to the sound of three bangs, three fireballs erupt from the bamboo tube, soar into the sky, and then bloom in the night sky. In the distance, there were bursts of shouts of killing...... That was the signal for Qin Qiong to lead the troops.

"Sons, come with me!"

Li Shimin knew that if he wanted to storm Chengtianmen, he might not have a big surname.

Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird Gate is still in his hands, and he will make plans after killing the Vermilion Bird Gate by himself and joining Qin Qiong's department.

"Second brother, do you still want to leave now?"

Li Xuanba suddenly shouted loudly at the head of the city, "Which one will take the head of the thief for me?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw two horses killed from the Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers. Two knights at once, black helmets and black armor, with black masks...... One holds a lance in his hand, and the other wields a broadsword. Coming to Li Shimin's side at a gallop, one of them picked up the soldiers behind Li Shimin with a long lance, while the other brandished a big knife and slashed at Li Shimin viciously.

"Li Shimin, do you remember Xue Rengao?"

Xue Rengao?

Li Shimin was stunned all of a sudden!

Isn't that Xue Ju's son?

After Xue Ju's death that year, Xue Rengao established himself as king, was defeated by Li Shimin, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Why, he actually took refuge in Xuanba?

Speaking of which, Li Xuanba already had a heart of disobedience as early as when Li Yuanding was in Dingding Pass and established Li Jiancheng as the crown prince?

Unexpectedly, I calculated in every possible way, but in the end, I cheapened the honest and straightforward third child...... Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly lost the idea of resisting.

He turned around and raised his eyes to look at the slightly thin figure on the Chengtian Gate. For a moment, the brain was empty...... Third, did you really win?

The big knife swallowed the cold light, and a puff of blood appeared.

At the moment when Li Shimin's head flew up, the imperial city suddenly burst into flames, and shouts of killing rang out.

Li Xuanba, who was standing on the Chengtianmen Palace City, couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't care about Li Shimin's life or death, turned around and walked quickly to the inner city palace wall, raising his eyes and looking out.

But at this glance, Li Xuanba was taken aback and was stunned!
