Chapter 4: The Wind of the Willows (Part II)

"Wait a minute!" Li Junxian shouted.

The soldiers present suddenly looked at Li Junxian, and even Li Shimin and the three of them all looked at Li Junxian, not knowing what Li Junxian wanted to do.

Li Junxian came to Li Shimin and the three of them, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, may I ask where is your waist card?" ”

"Waist card?" Li Jiancheng didn't know what was going on.

According to the previous emperor's order, anyone who enters the palace needs to enter and exit the palace. If you don't have a waist card, no one can get in. Even, if you don't have a waist card and break into the palace without permission, you can be punished according to the misdeeds. Misdeeds were extremely heinous in ancient times, and it was no problem to kill them on the spot.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, please show your waist card for entering and leaving the palace!" Li Junxian shouted.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Junxian as if he had seen a strange person. Usually, the three of them go in and out of the palace, and they don't need any waist cards, but now Li Junxian doesn't know what kind of wind to smoke, so he actually asks them for any waist cards. When the son goes to see Lao Tzu, he actually needs a certificate of entry and exit, which is also a bit ridiculous. Although rules are rules, there are many rules that no one will follow since ancient times.

"General Li Junxian, what kind of wind are you smoking? Actually asked us for a waist card? Li Yuanji asked.

"Your Majesty's will, you can't enter the palace without a waist card, so please show your waist card!" Li Junxian said righteously.

Li Yuanji said angrily: "Li Junxian, are you crazy? We are the princes of our father, do we need a waist card to visit our father? Do you mean to say that our princes are all idle people? ”

"Your Majesty's edict is that anyone who enters the palace must show a waist card to enter and leave the palace, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter the palace. I am doing this in accordance with His Majesty's will, please understand His Royal Highness King Qi. Li Junxian replied.

"Li Junxian, you ......" Li Yuanji was so angry that he couldn't speak.

And Chang He, the big brother, immediately ran over and apologized again and again: "His Royal Highness King Qi, General Li Junxian didn't remember many things because he fell yesterday. Because of this, General Li Junxian's mind couldn't turn around, and he asked His Royal Highness King Qi Haihan! ”

"Hmph, I don't bother with a fool!" Li Yuanji complained.

When Li Yuanji was about to enter the Taiji Palace again, Li Junxian stopped him again.

"Please show His Royal Highness the King of Qi the waist card!"

Li Junxian still refused to let go of Li Yuanji and asked him to show his waist card. Li Yuanji thought that he was not wrong, so of course he refused to show it, and if he showed his waist card, he would compromise and lose money. As a prince, if you compromise with your subordinates, this is too embarrassing for a prince.

"Good! Li Junxian, I have been to the palace so many times, and this is the first time I have met someone like you who asked me to show my waist card. Li Yuanji glared at Li Junxian and said fiercely.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, since this is the first time you have met you, then please implement the rules for the first time!" Li Junxian also said righteously.

"You!" Li Yuanji was so angry that he couldn't speak again.

The two sides were silent here, not saying a word. The scene was so deadlocked, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to be like a powder keg, which exploded at one point. The surrounding soldiers were nervous, for fear that the two sides would fight if they disagreed. If there is a fight at the gate of the palace, then no matter what you do, your side will be at a loss. After all, he is the emperor's son, will the emperor still use him to open the knife? Therefore, it is these officers and soldiers who are unlucky to guard the Xuanwu Gate.

At this time, the good old man Chang He immediately came over and persuaded: "His Royal Highness King Qi, Brother Jun Xian, don't rush like this!" Brother Junxian, we are all guarding the door for the emperor, His Royal Highness King Qi is the emperor's prince, no matter how you say it, you can't have any bad meaning for the emperor! Today's emperor and kings are all fathers and sons, and they are happy! Isn't it just a waist card? Why take it seriously? Brother Junxian, you apologize to His Royal Highness King Qi and ask His Royal Highness King Qi to forgive you. His Royal Highness King Qi has a large number of them, and they don't count. ”

Li Yuanji also stared at Li Junxian, wanting Li Junxian to soften. But Li Junxian had his own purpose in doing this, so he couldn't give in. If you soften this time, everything before will be in vain.

"His Majesty's order is that no one without a waist tag can enter, so I am carrying out His Majesty's order. Since I am carrying out the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, I am not wrong! Please show His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi to show their waist cards! ”

"Good, good! Are you going to learn your strengths? I'll see how hard your neck is! Li Yuanji said angrily.

Li Yuanji immediately shouted: "Come on, help me tie up this guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" ”

"Yes!" A group of Li Yuanji's bodyguards shouted.

Those bodyguards immediately came over, and everyone was worried about Li Junxian's fate. Although Li Junxian did nothing wrong, he offended the prince after all, and if nothing else, I am afraid he will be unlucky.

Li Junxian immediately pulled out a horse lance from the open space of the city gate next to him and pointed at the bodyguards who rushed towards him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the minister is now the general in charge of guarding the Xuanwu Gate, His Royal Highness the King of Qi wants to tie me up, and please ask for His Majesty's edict. Now that I am still the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, I naturally have to do my duty and guard the Xuanwu Gate. Someone wants to tie me up without authorization, this is the guards who attacked the palace, this is a plot against me. Please don't make a mistake with Your Royal Highness King Qi! ”

Li Junxian is a clear threat, if Li Yuanji insists on tying himself up, it is a rebellion. No matter what Li Junxian says, he is also a general guarding the palace, and he is on duty. If Li Yuanji tied up without authorization, it would be a bad plot. The crime of conspiracy was the biggest crime in ancient times, and Li Yuanji, the prince, could not afford it.

At this time, a young man in his twenties came and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't be angry, is General Li Junxian also enforcing the rules?" Isn't it just a waist card? What a big deal! ”

The young man came to Li Junxian's side and said apologetically, "General Li Junxian, thank you for the reminder!" Our brothers have violated the rules of the imperial court before, and I ask General Li Junxian for forgiveness. General Li Junxian won the true inheritance of the Xiliu Battalion of General Zhou Yafu of the Han Dynasty, and governed the army strictly. We didn't follow the rules before, we were wrong. This is my waist card, please check! ”

Li Junxian took the waist card with a serious face, pretended to check it, and gave it back to the young man, saying, "His Royal Highness King Qin, you can go in!" ”

This man is Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the future emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Jiancheng saw this situation, he also took out his waist card for Li Junxian to check, and soon went in. Li Yuanji couldn't, seeing that the two brothers were like this, he could only follow the rules and take out the waist card. However, Li Yuanji also glared at Li Junxian fiercely, as if to say that this matter was not over.

And Li Shimin turned his head to see this scene, and couldn't help but show some smiles in his mouth.
