The entire Taiji Palace is to inherit the pattern of the palace that has always been the front and the back. The Xuanwu Gate of the North Gate naturally leads to the back bed, and there are mostly palace gardens here.

When Li Yuan passed through the Xuanwu Gate, when he glanced at the soldiers of the Xuanwu Gate, he suddenly revealed a trace of wrongness.

Because the soldiers of the Xuanwu Sect are too formal, the swords and guns are sharpened and shiny, and the armor is very tightly worn, not the set that is taken out during the usual guards, but the regular wear for fighting.

Li Yuan was just stunned, but then relieved, at present, it is rumored in Chang'an that Li Chong's 920,000 troops are coming, so the forbidden army has strengthened its vigilance, which is also a matter of course.

Li Yuan relieved his doubts at the moment. But he didn't see a few soldiers standing on the road of the city gate, their hands clutching the hilt of their swords, and sweat oozing from their foreheads. This is very abnormal, this is a cold spring, how can a soldier sweat for no reason?

Li Yuan drove his party forward slowly, he did not go to the Taiji Hall first, but prepared to go to Beihaichi to change clothes first. And the crown prince, the king of Qin, and the king of Qi went directly to the Taiji Palace.

The car drove slowly, and the Beiya forbidden army followed Li Yuan into the palace and stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate, generally speaking, the Beiya forbidden army could not enter the city, and the city was guarded by the Nanya forbidden army, so there were only more than 100 guards who followed Li Yuan into the Beihai Pool.

And with the King of Qin, the crown prince, and the king of Qi, there were only a few dozen guards who went to the Taiji Palace, and they were all guards belonging to each palace.

Li Yuan's three sons are all riding horses, which is also the martial style of the Tang Dynasty, and he disdains the Southern Dynasty ministers to ride in cars, not to mention the sedan chairs that take people as animals in later generations.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, looked calm at the moment. He didn't look back at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's faces. Yang Wengan's change is a strategy that he has carefully laid out for many years, from Er Zhuhuan. Wei Ting's bribery, as well as many eyeliners inside the East Palace.

Engaged in the beginning of the change came later. Li Yuan's anger and Li Jiancheng's reaction were all expected by him. If Li Jiancheng could listen to Wei Ting's words at that time and defend Chang'an and support the army, then the end of Li Jiancheng would have come.

At that time, after Li Jiancheng was defeated, it is still two to say whether he can protect his life, but the storage position of the East Palace will definitely not be saved. At that time, he can justifiably be promoted from the King of Qin to the crown prince, whether it is from the order of the eldest and youngest, or his own ability and military exploits, this position will be he sitting sooner or later.

As long as then. Li Shimin believes that the entire Li Tang is integrated under him, enveloping the Guanlongmen valve, and then using the power of Guanxi to fight against Li Chongjiu's current forces, it is not without the power of a battle. At that time, as long as Li Chongjiu made a mistake and fought two or three defeats when attacking the Tang Dynasty, then Li Shimin was confident that he would have the power to turn the whole situation around. Even if you can't destroy Da Zhao, there is no problem with separating one side.

It's a pity that in the end, Yu Zhining didn't look at Qiao Gongshan, and Qiao Gongshan escaped. Unbelievable, he actually killed dozens of his cronies guarding the ship by himself, and finally appeared in front of Li Jiancheng. even testified in front of Li Yuan for Li Jiancheng to clear his grievances.

Li Jiancheng did not stand on his own feet according to Chang'an City, but went to the Hot Spring Palace to ask Li Yuan for his guilt. Even the killer sent by Yu Zhining to assassinate Yu Wenying was destroyed halfway. The real dominant person behind this qiē, Li Shimin knows who it is. Who else is there besides Li Chongjiu.

After Li Shimin heard this, he said in his heart Li Chongjiu, Li Chongjiu, how jealous you are of me, you use so many tricks just because you don't want me to inherit the throne.

Afterwards, Li Yuan was a smart person, after the initial anger, after tracing the beginning and end of the matter, he would inevitably pursue himself afterwards. Although Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan would not move himself, his trust in him was completely lost, so in the future Datang, he would be excluded from the edge forever.

Li Yuan didn't trust himself, Li Jiancheng suppressed himself, Li Chongjiu plotted against himself, and a series of blows made Li Shimin not discouraged, but more determined. Today, he is ready to make a desperate bet, although Li Chongjiu is very dangerous to persecute himself, even if the military admonition is successful, the Tang Dynasty will also be greatly damaged because of this incident.

But Li Shimin will never be obscure, he will die in the exclusion, and he would rather die in silence than in silence.

Li Shimin's eyes were cold, his hand pressed the long sword, and Li Yuanji, who had been observing Li Shimin, couldn't help but be surprised. Li Yuanji was in a very worried mood today, because before yesterday he secretly received a letter from the general Wu Shi Tong, who was captured by Zhao State.

When he was stationed in Jinyang, Wu Shi Tong was a general under him, and the two had an old relationship, so they had a lot of contacts. And the sudden letter from the samurai Tong surprised him very much.

The warrior Tong told Li Yuanji that after being investigated by Zhao's secret spy, Li Shimin was likely to be in Xuanwumen, killing him and the prince, and then forcing Li Yuan to abdicate, so that he could immediately tell Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng and let them take immediate precautions.

After Li Yuanji received the letter, of course, he regarded him as a desolate night talk, and Wu Shi Tong was now a prisoner of the Zhao people, and he would kindly remind himself. Li Yuanji was going to burn the letter, but after thinking about it, he still found the crown prince Li Jiancheng, handed him the letter, and asked him what he meant.

I don't know that Li Jiancheng didn't look at it after seeing the letter, he directly tore it to pieces, and scolded Li Yuanji, it's really confused, this is obviously either Li Chongjiu's discordant plan, or he set a trap for himself to drill. If he told Li Yuan about this matter, but said that his prince was not a good brother, it would make his current situation worse and he would be severely punished.

After Li Yuanji listened to Li Jiancheng's words, of course he didn't dare to mention it again.

Now the three brothers have their own thoughts, after entering the Xuanwu Gate for a hundred steps, there are two small lakes on the left and right in front of them, and on one side of the lake is the Linhu Palace.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from the Xuanwu Gate behind them, and everyone turned around, but saw that the Xuanwu Gate was actually closing.

At this moment, both the crown prince and the king of Qi changed their faces. The fact that the Xuanwu Gate closed for no reason is absolutely abnormal. At this moment, outside the Xuanwu Gate, the Beiya Forbidden Army stationed outside, seeing that the gate was rumbling closed, found something unusual.

A general of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army shouted: "It's not yet night, how can the gate of the White Sun Palace be closed without authorization." ”

No one answered inside the door, and the Nanya forbidden army guarding the palace gate on the left and right pushed the palace gate hard, and the palace gate closed inch by inch. The thousands of Beiya forbidden troops stationed at the gate saw that the big thing was not good, and rushed forward one after another.

But they were greeted by a rain of arrows!

A row of crossbowmen stood on the castle tower, knocking over the dozen or so people who rushed towards them. However, the Beiya Forbidden Army was tasked with guarding the royal family, so how could they retreat because of the arrow attack, and when they saw the city tower to stop it, they rushed forward even more.

"Prince, the king of Qi rebelled and wanted to murder His Majesty! The armies are not allowed to act recklessly without being ordered, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate, stood on the city tower and shouted.

The Beiya Forbidden Army was stunned when they heard it, but when they saw Chang He announcing it loudly, everyone was suspicious.

After a moment of hesitation, the Xuanwu Gate was gradually closing.

"Don't listen to them." A confidant general in the forbidden army went to grab the door and held the last moment before the gate closed, but when he saw that the other party threw blood and fell away, someone actually killed him and cut him out, and then forcibly closed the Xuanwu Gate, and thousands of Beiya Forbidden Army were blocked out of the door.

After the Xuanwu Gate was closed, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were in a panic.

After hearing Chang He shout, the crown prince, the king of Qi rebelled and wanted to murder His Majesty, Li Jiancheng was almost so frightened that he was about to fall off his horse, but saw Li Shimin slowly pull out his knife and lead the guards of the Qin Wangfu to stop in the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

At this time, there was a lot of killing on both sides of the Linhu Palace, but they saw that Liu Shili, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junxuan, Zheng Rentai, Li Mengwei, Zhang Shigui and others led hundreds of people from the Qin Palace, and they came out from near the Xuanwu Gate and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

At this moment, Li Yuanji grabbed Li Jiancheng's horse head and said, "Prince, King Qin is really going to rebel, let's flee!" ”

"Run?" Li Jiancheng was stunned and asked, "Where are we fleeing to?" ”

If it was plain, Li Yuanji would definitely not be able to answer, but today he reminded the warrior Tong, so he had already made a draft.

The Chengqian Hall of the West Palace is the residence of Li Shimin, and the East Gate is the East Palace of the Prince, there are six rates of the East Palace in the East Palace, more than 2,000 people, led by Xie Shufang, Li Jiancheng came to see Li Yuan this time, and the six rates of the East Palace stayed in the mansion, but this is also the place where the most ambushes are located.

Only the Wude Hall in the south is slightly better, this is the residence of the King of Qi in the palace, Li Yuanji is not only very familiar with here, but also dozens of Qi palace guards guarding the palace.

At that moment, Li Yuanji said: "Prince, let's go to the Wude Palace." ”

Li Jiancheng's general, Feng Li, led dozens of guards in the East Palace and said, "The prince will go first, and I will hold the King of Qin here for a while." Li Yuanji's general Yu Wenbao also got Li Yuanji's order and turned back to kill.

Li Shimin, who was riding on a horse, watched these shrimp soldiers and crabs coming, and just snorted coldly, and at that moment, the general of the Qin Wangfu led hundreds of elite Qin Wangfu guards to kill together.

Li Shimin led more than a dozen light horsemen to bypass the interception of men and horses, and pursued Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji alone.

On the horse road in the palace, Li Shimin galloped on horseback, and soon caught up with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, looking at the backs of the two of them fleeing in a hurry.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say in his heart, if Li Yuanji is willing to pass the throne to himself, how can he come to this day without being young and orderly, if Li Jiancheng knows that he is incompetent and is willing to take the initiative to give up the position of the prince, why should there be today, if Li Yuanji is not on the side of the prince and persecuts himself, who are they, this qiē is all their own fault.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin opened his bow and took an arrow, and shot an arrow at Li Jiancheng's heart!

In Beihaichi, Li Yuan had just finished changing clothes, and he could hear the sound of killing outside the wall, as well as the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

When Li Yuan saw it, he immediately shouted to Chen Fu, the eunuch in the palace: "What's going on outside, go and see it immediately!" ”

Chen Fu agreed and immediately ran out.

"Quick, armor me."

Li Yuan, who had been fighting horses for many years, immediately knew that there would be a mutiny in the palace.

At this time, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, Feng Lun, Dou Dan, Yan Shigu and other ministers asked to see outside the palace at the same time. (To be continued......)
