According to the previous agreement between Li Yuanji and Li Shenrune, once Li Yuanji decided to act, Li Shenfu would withdraw all the Imperial Forest Army and hand over all the important places he was responsible for guarding to Li Yuanji's Xuanwu Jingwei, including the Nine Gates and the Imperial City.

Although after Li Xuanba left, Li Yuan, the son of heaven, appointed Li Daozong as the general of the right imperial forest army, but Li Shenfu did not let Li Daozong enter the military camp on the grounds that the procedures of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War had not been completed.

However, Li Shenfu was really unhappy in his heart, although he supported Li Yuanji as the crown prince, and even supported Li Yuanji to ascend the throne, but he was a royal family after all, and it was impossible for him to support Li Yuanji to launch a palace coup, at least he would not participate.

Therefore, Li Shenfu also made two preparations, once Li Yuanji launched a palace coup d'état and was at a disadvantage, he would not hesitate to fight back and kill Li Yuanji to ensure that he would not be implicated by Li Yuanji.

It's just that Li Shenfu didn't expect that Li Yuanji actually kidnapped his illegitimate son and his most beloved concubine yesterday and forced himself to stand in line.

Although Li Shenfu had to stand in line in order to save his son's life, and promised to fully cooperate with Li Yuanji to launch a palace coup, he was still very uncomfortable in his heart, and he immediately sent someone to secretly send a letter to his brother Li Shentong.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the barracks, Li Shenfu was drinking alone, he was also wearing armor and helmets, ready to attack at any time, he knew that something big would happen tonight, which side should he stand on? He still hadn't made up his mind in his mind.

At this time, a pro-soldier reported at the door: "Lord Qiqi, Luo from the Chu Palace's army is here, and I have something important to ask to see the prince." ”

Li Shenfu knew that this was Li Yuanji sending someone to warn him, although he really didn't want to see it, he still nodded and said, "Please let him in!" ”

After a while, two soldiers led Luo Yumin in, and Luo Yumin bowed and saluted: "See the prince!" ”

"Luo joins the army, please take a seat!"

Li Shenfu's tone was very cold, and he could see that he didn't welcome Luo Yumin, and Luo Yumin didn't care, and sat down opposite him.

Li Shenfu said coldly: "I have already taken back the Imperial Forest Army according to the request of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what is he not satisfied with?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is sincerely grateful for the help of the prince, in return, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will thank the prince again, he promised to give any county in the pass to the prince as a food town, except for the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian, other counties are at the mercy of the prince, in addition, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Jin, Shu and above the six kings, the prince can choose one."

Li Shenfu sneered for a while and said: "If this is the condition that Zhang Xuan gave me, of course I will be overjoyed, but unfortunately it is something given by Li Yuanji, it is just a flash in the pan, what is there to be happy about, I am not rare." ”

"Then what does the prince want? Treasure, land or woman? ”

Li Shenfu showed a hesitant look on his face, Luo Yumin saw that Li Shenfu did have what he wanted, so he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent me here to express his gratitude to the prince for him, let me say so!" As long as the prince does not seek the throne and the crown prince, anything else or anyone, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will agree. ”

"Sir, this is true."

Luo Yumin took out a gold medal and put it on the table, "This is the order of the king of Chu, seeing cards is like seeing people, what else does the prince not believe?" ”

Li Shenfu was not a loyal person in the first place, he just hated Li Yuanji for capturing his son and forcing him to participate in the palace coup, but he was also greedy for money and lustful, he was not rare about the throne and the county town because he knew that it would not last, but wealth and women were his hobbies, maybe he could use this opportunity to fulfill his dream wish.

He said slowly: "Since the king of Chu is so sincere, then I do have two ideas, if he agrees, then he will cancel the festival of kidnapping my son, of course, the premise is to return my son as it is, and he will return it before noon tomorrow, and then I will support him in a coup d'état to ascend the throne." ”

"Please rest assured, you don't have to wait until noon tomorrow, tomorrow morning you will return the prince's beloved son and concubine, they are doing well, they are very preferential, there is no grievance, please say two conditions."

Li Shenfu thought for a while and said, "First, after the King of Chu is completed, I will go into the treasury of the Son of Heaven to pick twenty treasures, this requirement should not be high!" ”

Luo Yumin smiled and nodded, "This requirement is indeed not high, even if you pick thirty pieces, the prince will agree." ”

"I'm not greedy, just twenty pieces, as long as he doesn't feel distressed."

Li Shenfu knew that a large number of peerless treasures were copied from the mansion of the nobles of Guanlong last year, such as the pearl of the night of the mother, such as the topaz screen, such as Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork, etc., there were hundreds of pieces, although he only had twenty pieces, but each one was a rare treasure that he had loved for a long time.

"Lord Wang, please say the second request."

"The second request, I want a woman, I'm afraid the King of Chu won't agree."

Luo Yumin smiled slightly, "As long as it's not the princess of Chu, I think the king of Chu will agree." ”

"Not necessarily! I want Concubine Yin De, is he willing to part with his love? ”

Concubine Yin De, this peerless stunner Li Shenfu has been coveted for a long time, but he is a courtier, how dare he beat the idea of the imperial concubine, his little concubine is because she looks a little like Concubine Yin De is favored by him in a thousand ways, not to mention that it is Concubine Yin Defei herself, it is not she who beat her idea, I heard that even Li Yuanji is secretly coveting, but now is an opportunity, since Li Yuanji wants to make his own request, Li Shenfu is of course not polite.

Luo Yumin nodded and said, "I'll go and report to His Royal Highness the King of Chu now, and there will definitely be an answer in half an hour." ”

"I'm waiting for the good news that Luo has joined the army!"

.........

At this time, Li Yuanji personally led eight thousand Xuanwu Jingwei to ambush in a forest in the West Inner Garden, he was waiting for the final negotiation results between Luo Yumin and Li Shenfu, although Li Shenfu had withdrawn the garrison from the imperial city, but if there was no final compromise, Li Yuanji was still a little worried that Li Shenfu would turn back at the last critical moment, that was 20,000 imperial forest troops, and he would let himself be defeated in the end.

At this time, a guard rushed to report, "Luo has returned from the army!" ”

Li Yuanji was overjoyed, only Luo Yumin came back, which meant that Li Shenfu had made a condition, and he immediately said: "Bring him to see me quickly!" ”

Not long after, Luo Yumin hurried over, and Li Yuanji stepped forward and asked urgently, "How are you talking?" ”

Luo Yumin made a look, Li Yuanji immediately retreated, Luo Yumin whispered to Li Yuanji about the two conditions, Li Yuanji didn't say anything for a long time, there was no problem with the imperial treasury, don't say that it is twenty, even if it is a hundred, he agrees, that is, Yin Defei He is really a little reluctant, and that is also the beauty he fancies.

Luo Yumin immediately understood Li Yuanji's thoughts, and couldn't help but scold in his heart, this Li Yuanji was really absurd and shameless, and he didn't even let go of his own mother, so he persuaded: "Since Your Highness wants to succeed to the unification, you still need the support of hundreds of civil and military officials, and there are some face-saving things that can't be done, Concubine Yin Defei is His Royal Highness's concubine after all, if His Royal Highness accepts her, it will make the world laugh, as long as he can get the support of Li Shenfu's 20,000 troops, why does His Highness care about a woman?" ”

Li Yuanji didn't care about the opposition of the hundred officials, but he really needed Li Shenfu's full support, although Li Shenfu was going to leave Concubine Yin De, but there was also an equally beautiful Zhang Jieyu, these two peerless beauties could get at least one of them.

Cui Wenxiang next to him also said coldly: "Exchanging a woman for 20,000 Imperial Forest Army, this is a good deal, Your Highness can agree." ”

In desperation, Li Yuanji had to agree, "Okay! You go and tell Li Shenfu that I have agreed to his two conditions, and that the time is urgent, and if he has no objection, ask him to light a torch on the gate. ”

"I'm going to talk about the lowly position, but please ask Your Highness to give the lowly position another token."

Li Yuanji took off his jade pendant and handed it to Luo Yumin, Luo Yumin hurriedly went, and soon, a torch was lit on the gate a mile away, which was Li Shenfu finally reached a compromise, Li Yuanji was about to order the troops, Cui Wenxiang grabbed him and said: "Open the door first and then send troops, just in case." ”

Li Yuanji nodded, and then ran to the Xuanwu Gate hundreds of steps away with three hundred cavalry, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate was Wang Xian, he got the joint guarantee of Lu Ping and Wen Yanbo, his current identity is already the general of the Zhou army, no longer the Tang army, the mentality has changed, he doesn't care about letting Li Yuanji enter the palace.

Wang Xian has been waiting for Li Yuanji to arrive, and the appointed time has passed at this time, but Li Yuanji has been delayed, he is a little anxious in his heart, if Li Yuanji does not come again, He Miao is likely to inspect here.

"It's coming!" One of the soldiers whispered as he pointed into the distance.

Wang Xian also saw that Li Yuanji was rushing towards Xuanwu Gate with hundreds of cavalry, and Wang Xian immediately ordered: "Prepare to open the door!" ”

Xuanwu Gate is the north gate of Taiji Palace, the palace wall is as high as three zhang, the palace gate is made of cast iron, it is very heavy, even if it is made of giant wood, it may not be able to hit open, there are Que Towers on both sides as arrow pavilions.

The soldiers were ready to open the door, but at this moment, Wang Xin's brother-in-law Wei Daming rushed over and said nervously: "He Miao is here!" ”

Wang Xian's face turned white, He Miao didn't come early or late, but at this time, the news must have leaked, he suddenly said urgently: "Open the door immediately!" ”

The heavy palace door creaked open, and a loud shout suddenly came from afar: "Stop, don't open the door!" ”

I saw He Miao, the general of Jin Wuwei, rushing over on horseback, followed by hundreds of soldiers.
