Chang'an, East Palace. The crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, who was dressed in a crimson official uniform, admonished the prince Jiancheng: "Now that the prince and the king of Qin are reconciled, the prince is the eldest brother, not tonight in this east palace, His Royal Highness will have a banquet for the king of Qin, in order to express brotherhood, and also show the outside world that His Royal Highness loves his brothers and has a generous mind." ”

The crown prince Jiancheng was in a good mood recently, so he readily agreed: "Okay, Lone will give an invitation to the people." ”

Chang'an, the palace of the king of Qin. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who received the invitation from the crown prince, wanted to go to the appointment happily.

Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, admonished: "The prince and His Royal Highness have just reconciled, the trust has not been fully established, and the people are unpredictable, I hope Your Highness will be more careful, and it is best to bring His Highness's personal guard, the Xuanjia Army, in case of emergency." ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, refused: "No. Now Chang'an is still the father's Chang'an, and the eldest brother will not mess around. He sincerely invited, how could I go with the Xuanjia Army? It's too small, so I took four or five people with my entourage, which was enough. ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, insisted on taking four or five entourage, and Gao Shilian was secretly anxious.

In the evening, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and his entourage had just left the gate of the Qin Wang's mansion and were ready to go to the banquet. The eldest grandson Wuji, who has always lived in a simple house and lived alone in the study, walked out and bowed to King Qin and said: "Wuji heard that the East Palace is luxurious, and I want to have a glimpse of the style of the East Palace, and I hope that King Qin will agree." ”

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was dressed in a scribe's uniform and had a good demeanor, and said, "Since Wuji wants to go, let's go together." ”

"Yes."

The eldest grandson Wuji let people bring their own white dragon horse. Behind the horse, the eldest grandson Wuji hugged his fist at Gao Shilian and saluted: "Uncle rest assured, Wuji will definitely protect King Qin and return safely." ”

Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always been bold and careful, and resourceful, Gao Shilian's hanging heart finally fell a little.

The East Palace of the Prince is brightly lit and lively.

The main hall of the East Palace is large and spacious, and the walls, beams, and pillars in the hall are all decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the demeanor is colorful, colorful, and beautiful.

Dressed in a bright yellow prince's suit, the prince is smiling, gentle, and has an extraordinary temperament, sitting on the top of the main seat, facing north and south.

The crown prince and the prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng sat on the right side of the prince's completion, while the Qin king Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji sat on the most noble left side of the prince's completion.

During the banquet, the prince and the king of Qin talked very happily, and the prince and the prince Wang Qi, the prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, and the eldest grandson Wuji were even more witty, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time during the banquet.

In Taiji Palace, Emperor Li Yuan, who was wearing a fur coat, stood unusually lonely outside the door of the main hall of Taiji Palace, which was raging in the cold wind, looking at the brightly lit East Palace of the Prince from afar.

The commander of the Nighthawk stood behind Emperor Li Yuan and reported: "Tonight, the crown prince invited the king of Qin to a banquet in the East Palace, and the king of Qin only brought four or five retinues including the eldest grandson Wuji to the banquet. ”

Li Yuan said with joy on his face: "Jiancheng took the initiative to invite, and he has the demeanor of an eldest brother; Shimin only brought four or five retinues to the banquet, and he was full of sincerity. Okay, after so many years, is there anything more pleasing to me than their brothers' harmony and love? ”

In the prince's east palace, the prince Jiancheng saw that the atmosphere was harmonious and happy, and he was in a happy mood, so he ordered the eunuch who was serving on the side: "Serve the food." ”

A piece of delicacies was served in front of everyone, and the prince Jiancheng said with a smile: "Today, the people of the world are here, and they are very happy. In order to let the people of the world be able to taste the deliciousness, Lone personally went to beg his father in the evening, and seconded Wang Qi, who is known as the first chef of the Tang Dynasty, in the imperial kitchen, to cook food for the people. Tonight, and taste it. ”

Hearing the prince say this, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, stood up and thanked: "Thank you for the prince's kindness." ”

Prince Jiancheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Shimin, sit, sit quickly." Come, let's taste the craftsmanship of my No. 1 chef in Datang. ”

After bowing, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, sat down.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, who had just picked up the chopsticks, whispered to King Qin, who was sitting down, "Your Highness, let's change the meal?" ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, frowned slightly, and his face was displeased.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said to the crown prince: "His Royal Highness the prince, I see that His Royal Highness the King of Qin's food seems to be more delicious than mine, Wuji is a gluttonous foodie, and I want to exchange meals with the King of Qin, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince can agree?" ”

The crown prince Jiancheng groaned, and then ordered to the eunuchs serving behind Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the eldest grandson Wuji: "Change." ”

The meals of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, were swapped with those of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Seeing that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, picked up the chopsticks he had just touched, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled.

A banquet, the guests and the host are happy, and everyone is happy.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Wuji, the eldest grandson, got up and said goodbye and left.

On the way out, Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "The first chef of the Tang Dynasty really deserves his reputation." Master Wang Qi's craftsmanship is really good, I have never eaten such delicious food. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji echoed: "It is really a great pleasure in life to be able to enter the Prince's East Palace today and taste the craftsmanship of Master Wang Qi, the "No. 1 Chef of the Tang Dynasty". ”

As soon as the two of them walked out of the palace gate, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, suddenly gritted his teeth, his face was painful, and he was in a cold sweat. Li Shimin patted the war horse and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Go, the food is poisonous, go home quickly." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pretended to have a sinking face, and then patted his horse to follow.

The entourage also followed King Qin and galloped wildly.

As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the Qin Wangfu, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly screamed and fell from the white dragon horse, unconscious.

"Mowgli." Li Shimin, the king of Qin, endured severe pain, got off his horse, and picked up his eldest grandson Wuji. As soon as he entered the gate of King Qin's Mansion, he ordered with a pale face: "Close the gate of the mansion, and the whole mansion is on alert." Summoned Gao Shilian into the house. Summoning the Imperial Doctor. ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was holding the eldest grandson Wuji, stumbled and just took two steps, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground on his back.

"King Qin, Your Highness." The entire Qin Palace's mansion was suddenly in chaos.

Soon, Gao Shilian and the imperial physician rushed to the Qin Palace. After some diagnosis and treatment, the imperial physician reported to Gao Shilian: "Lord Gao, King Qin and Eldest Sun Wuji were respectively hit by two different poisons, the poison in King Qin, although the attack was relatively fast, but it was very common and not difficult to treat; The poison in the eldest grandson Wuji, although the onset is slow, is very rare and violent, which is why someone wants to put the eldest grandson Wuji to death. But fortunately, the two of them found out early, and Chen happened to have the antidotes to these two poisons, and now they have been fed separately, I believe they should wake up soon. ”

"Two poisons?" Gao Shilian fell into deep thought.

Soon, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, woke up, and Gao Shilian informed him of the judgment of the imperial doctor.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, said sadly: "This is my own brother? Renxiao's own brother? wasted his father's hard work, he was a son of man and a brother in vain. ”

Soon, the eldest grandson Wuji also woke up, and Gao Shilian also informed him of the judgment of the imperial doctor.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "I didn't expect it, I changed meals with His Royal Highness King Qin, but I still couldn't escape the persecution of the prince." And in his heart, he secretly said: "Two different poisons? The poison in King Qin's chopsticks was contaminated by me, so what about the poison in me? Who ordered it? The people of the East Palace? The poison is violent, he is not as simple as me just trying to destroy the relationship between the prince and the king of Qin, he is trying to put the king of Qin to death. Who is this man? ”
