In Taiji Palace, Tang Emperor Li Yuan is discussing with Pei Lin on the left, Feng Deyi on the right, and Xiao Yu, the imperial historian. Suddenly, the Nighthawk Commander suddenly appeared and reported to the Tang Emperor Li Yuanyu: "Your Majesty, the left and right Qianniuwei and Zuo Xiaowei of the imperial capital Chang'an have moved, and now they have been controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Qin's henchmen Hou Junji and Qin Qiong, the situation is urgent, please make a ruling." ”

Tang Emperor Li Yuan and everyone present were all shocked.

Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Shimin controls the army? Is it finally coming? Is it finally coming this far? Flesh and blood kill each other, brothers kill each other, Shimin, did he still decide to make a move? ”

Pei Lin was frightened and at a loss, and Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu advised Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty: "Your Majesty's situation is critical now, Your Majesty should control the situation as soon as possible, so as not to get out of control." ”

Li Yuan suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly issued an edict: "The edict orders the guards stationed in the imperial capital Chang'an, King Qin, to rescue them, surround the Qin Wangfu, surround the left and right Qianniu Guards, and the left Xiaowei camps, disarm the left and right Qianniu Guards, and the left Xiaowei armed, and detain them on the spot." Those who resist will be killed on the spot. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Hou Junji, under the escort of the Flying Tiger Army, break into the Taiji Palace.

Emperor Li Yuan's eyes darkened, and he secretly said that it was not good. He pointed at Hou Junji and reprimanded angrily: "Hou Junji is bold, how dare you trespass into Taiji Palace without an edict?" Don't you know it's a capital offense? ”

Hou Junji bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the king of Qi are rebelling, and the ministers are ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to come to protect Your Majesty, and please stay in the Taiji Palace." ”

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty understood that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, began to act, he wanted to get rid of his elder brother Prince Jiancheng and his younger brother Qi Wang Yuanji, and he, as an emperor and a father, was controlled and imprisoned by his son Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and could not do anything but watch this extremely cruel scene happen.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has already set up a trap and is waiting for the arrival of the crown prince and the king of Qi, Yuanji. At this time, Chang'an City was on the fifth watch, the sky was dark, and everything was quiet. A crescent moon hangs alone in the night sky. The tall Xuanwu Gate was like a giant beast quietly shrouded in watery moonlight, like a false sleep, many people did not know that it would wake up in a terrible storm and let out its own earth-shattering roar.

In the early hours of the morning, the starlight fades away, and the waning moon will disappear. The bustling imperial capital of Chang'an wakes up from a quiet and fragrant summer night. In the morning light, colorful butterflies fly back and forth among the flowers, restaurants and tea houses in the streets have begun to unload the doors that have been closed overnight, and farmers in the suburbs of Beijing also push cartloads of fresh melons and fruits from the mist. It was a calm and peaceful morning, but also a morning of peace.

A clanging sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, along with the sound of swords and armor colliding, such a sound was clear, hard, cold, and unquestionable, this team of flying horses came from the Qin Wangfu, which had been sleepless all night, and they rushed straight to the Xuanwu Gate with a strong murderous aura.

Among this group of people are Li Shimin, the king of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan, Gao Shilian, the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Chi Jingde, Zhang Gongjin, and there is also a weak and heroic woman in the team, Princess Qin - the eldest grandson.

A few days ago, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, settled his family in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the princess of Qin, who had always been weak and obedient, was very unusual, and asked to stay in the imperial capital Chang'an, and stay with Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, comforted her and said: "Now, big things are about to start, the imperial capital has become a dangerous place, and it is not good for you to stay in the imperial capital." When things don't go your way......."

The eldest grandson interrupted the Qin King Li Shimin's speech, and said unusually resolutely: "Great king, if you win, you will be the emperor; defeated, the concubine will never be the only child. ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was silent. Yes, if you win, you will be the emperor, and if you lose, what if you settle your family in Luoyang, the eastern capital? Are they still alive?

In this way, Princess Qin stayed, followed the side of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and participated in all the major events planned by the king of Qin.

Xuanwu Gate, King Qin and his entourage had just arrived, and Qin Qiong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, Chang He, the guard general of Xuanwu Gate, and Gao Yaxian, the deputy general of Xuanwu Gate, who had been waiting here, immediately went out of the city to greet them.

At the head of the Xuanwu Gate, Qin Qiong pointed to an open space in the palace and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, that open space is our ambush location, that open space is the only place to go to the Taiji Palace, there is a forest on its left and right sides, the left side of the forest is ambushed by the Zuo Qianniuwei army, the right side is ambushed by the right Qianniuwei army, and the minister's Zuo Xiaowei army is coordinated to defend the Xuanwu Gate to block the entry of the outside army. ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, praised: "Well, yes, it's good to arrange it like this." It's just that the pressure on your Zuo Xiaowei army to garrison Xuanwu Gate will be relatively great, and in addition to us in the imperial capital Chang'an, there are also six guard troops, and you may be able to block it with a guard army. ”

Qin Qiong said: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Qin, as long as there are people alive in the army, the army outside will not let the outside army pass through the Xuanwu Gate." ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, lightly pounded Qin Qiong's chest and said, "Then the Xuanwu Gate will ask you, I will fight a quick battle and get rid of the prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji." ”

The sun slowly rose, shining its rays on every inch of the earth.

The figure of the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji slowly appeared on the gallop road of Xuanwu Gate. In the gatehouse of Xuanwu Gate, King Qin and his entourage stared at the two of them.

The crown prince suddenly tightened his horse stiffness and stopped suddenly. Qi Wang Yuanji also stopped.

Prince Jiancheng said to Qi Wang Yuanji: "Today, I feel very uncomfortable, and I always feel like something bad is going to happen. Otherwise, we will report to my father and reply to him another day. Anyway, this is all framed by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and we haven't done it, or we haven't done it. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and we have a clear conscience. ”

Qi Wang Yuanji looked displeased.

Since last night the King of Qin Li Shimin slandered himself and the crown prince Chengcheng, His Majesty the Tang Emperor - Li Yuan summoned the prince Jiancheng and himself into the palace. Qi Wang Yuanji and Feng Deyi discussed: this must be a sign that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, is going to make a move, the plan of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has not changed, the location he chose is still Xuanwumen, but the army he launched a mutiny has changed, not the original army of the left and right leading guards, and the right Xiaowei three guard armies, but another elite army. Since this is the case, he and Feng Deyi cooperated with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to play a scene, and together they lured the prince Jiancheng to the palace, as long as the Qin king Li Shimin got rid of the prince Jiancheng, he could justifiably kill Li Shimin in the name of crusading against the rebellious ministers, and then successfully ascended to the throne.
