From the East Palace to the Xuanwu Gate, the distance is not short, but although Li Jiancheng is not as good at marching and fighting as Li Shimin, he also knows the truth of the speed of soldiers, so in less than half an hour, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came to the Xuanwu Gate under the escort of Li Xiaochang and other troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As one of the palace gates guarding the palace, Xuanwu Gate naturally has many guards guarding it, and seeing that suddenly such a large group of people rushed towards the palace gate, all the guards were also startled, and hurriedly closed the palace gate tightly, and then climbed up to the lookout above the palace gate, and shouted to the army that had rushed to the palace gate: "Big, bold!" Dare to rush into the palace! Don't you know that this is a great sin for the Nine Clans? ”

When he arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng also walked out of the guards of the soldiers, raised his head to look at the lookout, and shouted: "I am Li Jiancheng, the prince of the East Palace!" There is something important to enter the palace to face the saint! You haven't opened the palace gate yet! You can't afford to delay my business! ”

Those guards can guard the important post of the palace gate, so they naturally recognize Li Jiancheng, the prince of the East Palace, and when they look at it, it is not the prince himself! Suddenly, these guards all secretly complained, prince, prince, you said that if you want to enter the palace, you will enter the palace, why do you bring so many people? You bring so many soldiers and horses, who dares to open this palace gate! These guards didn't dare to open the palace gate, but they didn't dare to offend Li Jiancheng, so they could only shout with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" This, this, if the prince wants to enter the palace, please also ask the prince to disperse the soldiers and horses behind him, otherwise, the villain really doesn't dare to open the palace gate! ”

"Bastard!" Hearing that the little guard dared to order him to do something, Li Jiancheng immediately frowned, and Li Yuanji, who was behind him, stepped forward directly and shouted at the top: "Little guard, dare to talk to us like this!" I think it's you who really wants to punish the nine clans! Don't get down for this king, open the palace door! ”

Those guards looked down, this is not His Royal Highness King Qi! Suddenly, these guards felt that their heads hurt even more, although Li Jiancheng was the prince, but Li Jiancheng usually acted gently and bowingly, so these guards were not very afraid of Li Jiancheng. But Li Yuanji is different, everyone in Chang'an City knows that Li Yuanji has a short temper, and if something goes wrong, he will add punches and kicks! It may be nothing to offend Li Jiancheng, but if you offend Li Yuanji, then you will really suffer! It's just that I'm afraid to be afraid, this opens the palace gate, if so many soldiers and horses rush into the palace, then their heads will definitely not be saved! So no matter what, they still don't dare to open this palace gate!

"Fifth brother!" Li Jiancheng immediately snorted, stopped Li Yuanji behind him, and looked at the lookout above with a frown, it was obvious that if he didn't disperse these soldiers and horses, then these guards above would never open the palace gate. But after an assassination just now, it is impossible for Li Jiancheng to disperse these soldiers and horses used to protect his life! In this way, the two sides seemed to be deadlocked, but Li Jiancheng did not panic, he frowned and shouted: "What about your general? Call him to talk to me! ”

Until now, the palace door can only be opened through Chang He, Chang He is Li Jiancheng's henchman, and Li Jiancheng is also confident that Chang He can obey his orders. Obviously, the guards on the lookout also knew that they couldn't be the master, and when Li Jiancheng reminded them, they immediately rushed to find their boss. It didn't take long for a very ordinary-looking general to appear on the lookout, glanced down, hesitated for a moment, and shouted: "The last general is always here!" See His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Seeing that Chang He finally came out, Li Jiancheng was also a little impatient to wait, and immediately shouted at Chang He: "Chang He! It's good you're here! I have something important to go to the palace! You open the palace door for me immediately! ”

"This ......" Chang He looked at the nearly three thousand soldiers and horses behind Li Jiancheng, his face was full of hesitation, and after a long time, he said: "Your Highness, you have brought so many people, this is to ......"

"Chang Ho!" Seeing that Chang He didn't open the door immediately, Li Jiancheng didn't have time to say anything, and Li Yuanji, who was next to him, couldn't help it, and immediately shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!" Let you open the palace gate, and you will open the palace gate for me! If something is delayed by you, can you afford it? ”

Being drunk like this by Li Yuanji, Chang He's face became more and more ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything to Li Yuanji, and hesitated for a long time, Chang He gritted his teeth and shouted to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, please wait!" The last general immediately opened the palace door for His Highness! After speaking, Chang He's body turned around and disappeared from the lookout.

And after hearing Chang He's words, Li Jiancheng also showed a smile, and Chang He was finally willing to obey his orders. It didn't take long for the palace gate of the Xuanwu Gate to be slowly opened, and I saw Chang He walking out of the Xuanwu Gate quickly, clasping his fists at Li Jiancheng and shouting: "Your Highness!" The door of this palace will be opened, but His Royal Highness wants to bring so many people into the palace, this, this is really inappropriate, right? Please think twice, Your Highness! ”

Chang He didn't stop himself, he just made such a suggestion to himself, which made Li Jiancheng more acceptable. In fact, he didn't mean to bring so many soldiers and horses into the palace, the purpose of his entry into the palace was to complain to his father, not to force the palace to his father! The purpose of these soldiers and horses is just to protect the safety of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji along the way! Now that he has entered the palace, no matter how bold Li Shimin is, he will not dare to send a killer to the palace, right? Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng also nodded and said, "Okay, as you said, I will enter the palace alone with King Qi!" ”

"Your Highness!" Hearing Li Jiancheng say this, Li Xiaochang, who was behind Li Jiancheng, immediately changed his face, stepped forward immediately, and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens!" Since King Qin dared to assassinate His Royal Highness in the East Palace, it was difficult to guarantee that he did not arrange assassins in the palace! Please be careful, Your Highness! ”

Hearing Li Xiaochang say this, Li Jiancheng also hesitated, what Li Xiaochang said is not unreasonable, after all, if something happens and then regret it, it will be too late for anything! At this time, Li Yuanji also immediately said to Li Jiancheng: "Big brother! You might as well take Yang Wengan and Yu Wenbao and lead more than ten of the best guards in the East Palace into the palace! If there is any problem, we can also have room to turn around! ”

As soon as Li Yuanji's words fell, Yang Wengan and Yu Wenbao immediately came out of the ranks, clasping their fists at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, as the guards of the East Palace and the Qi Palace, these two people are naturally not weak! Especially Yu Wenbao, who is tall and burly, with an iron lance in his hand, has the courage of ten thousand people! And after seeing these two generals, Li Jiancheng also nodded lightly, and immediately asked Yang Wengan to order more than ten of the best guards, and then turned to Chang He and said: "I was assassinated with King Qi in the East Palace, I must be careful, these people must protect me with me, and they must follow me into the palace!" ”

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Chang He seemed to be very embarrassed, looked at Li Jiancheng, looked at Li Yuanji again, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to persuade something, Li Yuanji immediately glared at him, and at the same time, Yang Wengan and Yu Wenbao both raised the weapons in their hands! Seeing this, Chang He immediately shrank his head, and finally hurriedly moved his body out of the way and said to Li Jiancheng: "Since His Highness insists on doing so, then the general will not dare to stop him!" Your Highness please! ”

Although Chang He was a little disobedient before, Li Jiancheng didn't blame him, after all, this matter was also a bit against Chang He's duties. Nodding slightly, Li Jiancheng took the lead in walking towards the palace, and Li Yuanji also snorted coldly at Chang He, and with a wave of his hand, he followed Li Jiancheng into the palace with Yang Wengan, Yu Wenbao and others. As for Li Xiaochang and the others, they hesitated for a moment, and led the troops directly at the gate of the palace to line up, waiting for the news of Li Jiancheng.

As for that Chang He, after sending Li Jiancheng and the others into the palace, he straightened up again, turned to Li Xiaochang is fist salute, glanced at the soldiers and horses behind Li Xiaochang, and said to Li Xiaochang: "This, King Yi'an, so many soldiers and horses are displayed outside the palace gate, the last general really can't afford this risk, can you ......?"

Regarding Chang He's request, Li Xiaochang didn't think about it, so he directly shook his head and vetoed it. However, Li Xiaochang was not as domineering as Li Yuanji, and he was polite to Chang He, and said: "General Chang, it's not that I don't give you face, it's really that today's situation is too special!" The assassination of the crown prince in the East Palace is simply unheard of! The prince is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and we, as the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, should protect the prince's safety! So we are resolute not to leave here, if the prince has any accident in the palace, we have to rush into the palace to protect the prince, even if it is because of His Majesty's questioning, then it is not a please! ”

Li Xiaochang's words have all been said to this part, so Chang He has no reason to let Li Xiaochang withdraw from the army, and in desperation, Chang He can only say to Li Xiaochang: "King of the county, since this is the case, then the general can only temporarily close the palace gate!" This is really not that the last general is unwilling to do things for the prince, but the responsibility of the last general is really helpless! But don't worry! If the prince has any accidents, the last general will definitely open the palace gate and follow the county king to escort him! ”

Although he was a little unhappy that Chang He was so stubborn, after all, people were also standing in Li Shang, and Li Xiaochang didn't have much to say, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed. Immediately, Li Xiaochang told him again and again, if something happened in the palace, he must open the palace door, Chang He nodded again and again, patted his chest and agreed, and then entered the palace gate, and soon, the palace gate of this Xuanwu Gate was closed!
