Qi Wang Yuanji said sneeringly: "Brother Prince, are you still afraid of him, King Li Shimin? Now the army of the left and right leading guards and the right guards controlled by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has been transferred from the imperial capital Chang'an by his father. The palace is also the territory of the father, isn't it just to enter the palace to confront him? Didn't he, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, dare to sprinkle and make trouble in the palace alone? ”

The crown prince's face turned red and his face was embarrassed.

Qi Wang Yuanji shook his head and said: "Since the prince's brother is worried, so let's do it, the courtier's brother immediately asked someone to fetch weapons and armor, and the courtier's brother personally escorted the prince's brother into the palace to ensure that the prince's brother is well-thought." That's all right. ”

The crown prince was still hesitant.

Qi Wang Yuanji gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said: "Brother Chen, let Yu Wenbao, the general of the Qi Palace's Protectors, take the five thousand guards of the Qi Palace, accompany the younger brothers, and escort the prince's brother into the palace, and at the same time let the six guards of the East Palace lead Feng Li, the leading generals of the East Palace, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, and the left and right Jin Wuwei generals Xie Shufang to lead their respective armies to wait outside the Xuanwu Gate. With such a careful arrangement, the prince's brother can rest assured. ”

After all the people and horses were arranged, the prince Jiancheng saw the five thousand Qi palace guards led by Yu Wenbao behind him, so he was relieved and walked slowly with Qi Wang Yuanji.

Approaching the Xuanwu Gate, when the crown prince Jiancheng saw that it was his subordinates who guarded the Xuanwu Gate, Chang He and Gao Yaxian, he couldn't help but relax completely. He showed a wry smile, he was still too cautious, too careful, too afraid of him Qin King Li Shimin.

Qi Wang Yuanji also lowered his head and showed a cruel smile, and he secretly said in his heart: "King Li Shimin, King of Qin, you should also be in the dark above the city tower, watching us." I sent you the prey of the prince, I hope you don't disappoint me. Get rid of the crown prince, and you will become my prey. Without you, the King of Qin who killed his brother and plotted rebellion, how could I justifiably ascend the throne as emperor and ascend to the throne? ”

The palace is a forbidden place. In front of the Xuanwu Gate, the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji continued to ride their horses forward, while their personal entourage and guards all stopped and dismounted and followed on foot.

After the crown prince was completed and the king of Qi Yuanji and his entourage entered the ambush site, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, stepped on the war horse, took his long lance, and pointed in the air: "Kill!" ”

The Xuanwu Gate slammed shut suddenly. The left and right Qianniu guards on both sides of the clearing at the ambush site suddenly slaughtered.

The crown prince was completed and the king of Qi Yuanji was shocked, and they understood: Li Shimin, the king of Qin, rebelled and launched a coup d'état.

The crown prince Jiancheng was nervous and at a loss, patted the war horse, and fled in a panic. And Qi Wang Yuanji showed a sneer, he commanded the five thousand Qi palace guards controlled by Yu Wenbao to guard himself in the center.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, put down the lance very skillfully, took out the bow, and put on the arrow, he aimed at the king of Qi Yuanji, and found that the king of Qi Yuanji had been guarded by the guards of the Qi Wangfu, and he aimed at the prince who fled in the wilderness. The crown prince fell to the ground like a stake, and the red blood seeped out along the shaft of the arrow that had submerged into the body, and a big red flower suddenly bloomed on the golden satin robe, which looked extremely bewitching and weird.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was stunned for a moment. He has always claimed that he wants to get rid of Prince Jiancheng and Qi King Yuanji, but until he shot Prince Jiancheng with his own hands just now. The blood oozing from the back of the crown prince made him suddenly sober up, he had just killed his own eldest brother with his own hands, and killed his own eldest brother who grew up and lived together in this world. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was weak, and the colored lacquered iron tire bow in his hand fell to the ground weakly, he hit his horse and rushed to the prince Jiancheng, jumped down madly, picked up the body of the prince Jiancheng, and cried loudly: "Big brother, big brother, how are you, how are you?" Wake up. ”

The crown prince Jiancheng could no longer open his eyes, and the blood flowed uncontrollably to his body along the shaft of the arrow, and then from his body to the body of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, with the residual temperature, flowing quietly. This made Li Shimin, the king of Qin, feel as if there was a fire burning through his whole body, making him suffer and suffer.

Qi Wang Yuanji was overjoyed when he saw that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had shot the crown prince Jiancheng, and he excitedly ordered Yu Wenbao: "Send a signal, mobilize a large army, and kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who killed the prince of the Tang Dynasty and plotted rebellion." ”

Yu Wenbao asked the soldier to take out the straw that had been prepared for a long time and was watered, and lit it with a fire fold, and a wolf smoke rose up.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, Feng Li, the commander of the six guards of the East Palace, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, the generals of the East Palace Guards, and Xie Shufang, the general of the left and right Jinwuwei, were shocked when they saw the wolf smoke, and a bad thought appeared in their minds. The crown prince and the king of Qi had an accident, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had an abnormality in the palace. The crown prince and the king of Qi are in critical condition.

They immediately ordered their own armies to storm the Xuanwu Gate and rescue the Tang Dynasty Prince Jiancheng and Qi King Yuanji.

In the palace, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was holding the corpse of the prince and crying bitterly, while the king of Qin, Yuanji, commanded the guards of the palace of Qi to slowly move closer to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and he knew in his heart that as long as he got rid of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, he could ascend to the throne as he wished, become the supreme son of the Tang Dynasty, and become the master of the world.

Qi King Yuanji walked behind Li Shimin, the king of Qin, slowly pulled out his saber, and raised it high, while Li Shimin, the king of Qin, fell into grief and was unconscious. Qi Wang Yuanji showed a cruel smile, and swung his waist knife down with both hands.

A long lance suddenly appeared, knocking off the waist knife of Qi Wang Yuanji. Yuan Ji looked up and found that it was the confidant of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the general of the right Xiaowei - Wei Chi Jingde. Yu Chi Jingde picked up the heartbroken King of Qin, Li Shimin, put it on his war horse, and walked away.

Qi Wang Yuanji saw such a good opportunity, but he was ruined by Wei Chi Jingde, and he was angry and stomped his feet again and again. He said helplessly to the palace guards: "Set up a round shield formation, defend, and wait for reinforcements." ”

King Yuanji of Qi was surrounded by guards layer by layer, and the guards were in the middle.

The left and right Qianniuwei were originally subordinates of the Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and were forced by Hou Junji to fight with Li Shimin, the king of Qin. At this time, when attacking the Yuan Ji of Qi and the round shield array that protected the Yuan Ji of Qi, they did not make any efforts, and let Wei Chi Jingde and Zhang Gongjin supervise the battle to the death, they still deliberately slacked off, for fear of hurting the guards of Qi Wang Yuanji and the Qi Wangfu. The round shield array that protected King Yuanji of Qi could not be attacked for a long time, and King Yuanji of Qi was also safe and sound, and the war reached a stalemate.
