Chapter 18: When the Mutiny Proceeds (1)

The time has reached the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Tang Wude, and according to Li Shimin's plan, a mutiny will begin soon. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have begun to encroach on Li Shimin's military power, Li Shimin's military power has been eaten away, if you don't want to fight desperately, then it will be a complete failure. The royal struggle for the throne was bloody, without the slightest mercy. Li Shimin didn't expect Li Jiancheng to let him go, so he was destined to fight to the death.

And Li Junxian and Li Shimin have communicated with each other several times, and they already have a plan in their hearts. Li Junxian used the troops trained under him to mutiny, but how to join the mutiny is very particular. Since ancient times, military coups have not been directly used as justifications, but with a high-sounding reason. If there is no high-sounding reason, then I am afraid that there will be no justice to speak of, which is to put oneself under the dangerous wall. And Li Junxian and Li Shimin discussed how to let Li Junxian get the righteousness of the mutiny.

And early in the morning, Li Junxian got up very early, and he didn't rely on **. Although he had followed the process before, it was his turn to rest, but he casually changed shifts with another general, and it was changed to today. There were many changes among the generals, so no suspicions were received.

"Soldiers, you've been training for almost a month, and I'm very satisfied." Li Junxian said first.

"Today, you cheer me up, this may be the last time we train together! Su Dingfang, it is possible that you will return to your own army to be a team leader in the future, but I hope you can remember today's events, and today you will reap the benefits of a lifetime. Li Junxian said vaguely.

Li Junxian did not tell his subordinates that he wanted to help Li Shimin to mutiny, because there were many people, and if there were more people who knew, it would be troublesome. Wait a minute, Li Junxian has his own way to pull these soldiers into the water and let them follow him to besiege Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

"Today, let's go to the Xuanwu Gate to practice, you come with me!" Li Junxian said.

The soldiers were taken to the Xuanwu Gate by Li Junxian like this, which was not unusual, because they were still outside the palace. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of troops guarding the palace, and Li Junxian is not in the eyes of those troops in the palace.

"Gooooo......oo

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, you are here!" Li Junxian said hello.

"Humph!" Li Yuanji snorted, obviously he and Li Junxian were a little bit at odds.

But Li Jiancheng seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and said, "General Li Junxian, what about King Qin?" Have you seen King Qin here? ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Qiyu, King Qin has never been here, and I don't know where King Qin has gone! The whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Qin are not something that a small Xuanwu Gate guard can take care of. ”

"Hmph, who knows where he's going to be ** happy! Even my father didn't come to visit him, what a good son of my father! I look at him, there is no more unfilial prince in the world than him! I'm afraid, compared to Yang Guang of the former Sui, hum! Li Yuanji said disdainfully.

"Fourth brother be cautious! Although King Qin is a little stubborn, he will not kill his father and seize the throne like Yang Guang. Although King Qin can't see the situation clearly, he is the son of his father after all, our brother! What do you mean by saying that about your brother? Li Jiancheng reprimanded.

Although Li Jiancheng was reprimanding Li Yuanji, Li Junxian could clearly see that the taste of Li Jiancheng's reprimand was not strong, and he did not look angry. Li Jiancheng's behavior is obviously to protect Li Yuanji, and it is for Li Junxian, an outsider, to see. Although they fought very fiercely within the royal family, they had to maintain the appearance of a brother and brother in front of the foreign ministers. If you don't even maintain this appearance, then the world will be in chaos, and this may be the hypocrisy of politicians.

"Li Junxian, can we go in?" Li Yuanji asked.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, you can go in. However, a few days ago, there was some accident in the palace, and an assassin entered the palace. However, we searched the palace for a long time, but we found no Assassins. Therefore, please be careful with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi! Li Junxian said.

"What, there are assassins in the palace? And, the assassin hasn't been caught yet? Something so big happened, how could I, the prince, not know about it? Li Jiancheng said in surprise.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can this kind of thing be said explicitly? If we catch assassins in the palace with great fanfare, then I'm afraid there will be rumors in Chang'an City. Rumors are all spread by falsehood, and the more they circulate, the more exaggerated they become. We are hunting down the assassins with great fanfare here, and I am afraid that in the eyes of the people, His Majesty has been assassinated. If the government is slower to refute the rumors, I'm afraid the ghost will know what will happen! Therefore, with the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor, he did not preach it everywhere, but just let us guards observe in secret. However, for the safety of the two highnesses, the two highnesses were also asked to bring ten guards to avoid any accidents. If there is any accident between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi, then the minister will be a great crime. Li Junxian said with a look of me being good for you.

"Bastard! My father and I trust you guards so much, but is that how you repay me and my father? There was an assassin in the palace, but he didn't catch it for several days? What is my father raising these rice buckets for? I'm telling you, you give me two more days to catch the assassin, or I'll suggest to my father that you, the Xuanwu Gate guard, don't have to do it. Li Yuanji said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes, the minister will definitely investigate carefully and give a satisfactory explanation to His Royal Highness King Qi! Please also ask His Royal Highness King Qi to enter the palace quickly, His Majesty the Emperor is a little impatient to wait, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi will not be easy to explain when the time comes!. Li Junxian said resignedly.

Li Yuanji's mind was more direct, and he didn't think of what Li Junxian meant. And Li Yuanji, with the idea that he would rather believe it than believe it, entered the Xuanwu Gate with ten palace guards. And Li Jiancheng didn't think of anything, and also entered the Xuanwu Gate with ten guards. And Li Junxian watched the two of them go in, and a sneer appeared in his mouth.

"Hmph, next year's day is your taboo! Wait, you'll have fun! Leading troops to force the palace, what kind of crime is this? Hum Hum Hum! Li Junxian thought to himself.
