The person who came was Wei Chigong, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty and later named the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

He is one of the most terrifying people in Chang'an City today, and he is also the main force of Li Shimin's side in the Xuanwumen Change.

At this time, Li Tai, the fourth prince who was dressed in a light gold robe and had a heroic posture, was standing not far away.

With a light smile on his face, he silently watched the battle not far away.

It wasn't so much a fight as it was a slaughter by Yu Chigong, a group of well-trained killers as vulnerable as babies in front of him, broken bones and rivers of blood flowing everywhere he passed.

Next to Li Tai stood an old man with a thin figure and two impressive nasolabial folds on his face.

There was no expression on his face, but just standing there didn't make him angry.

This old man's name is Changsun Wuji, who is the most powerful Zhao Guogong at this time, and he is also the brother of Empress Changsun.

With the support of him and Wei Chigong, the battle for the crown prince is equivalent to a complete victory.

Li Tai couldn't help the excitement in his eyes: "Thank you uncle for coming to the rescue, Tai Ding will keep this matter in mind!" ”

"The four princes don't have to be polite, this is all Your Majesty's will."

The eldest grandson Wuji's voice did not have a trace of intimacy, and he deliberately accentuated the voice of the three words of the fourth prince, and Li Tai, who listened to it, felt a pang in his heart.

"What does Father mean? Could it be that His Majesty knew that Li Chengqian was planning this matter? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his face coldly: "Is the fourth prince called the wrong title?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince! ”

When Li Tai heard this, his mind was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what his uncle meant for a while, and whether he was really on his side.

"There is nothing in this Chang'an City that can be hidden from Your Majesty, so the four princes must also be cautious in their words and deeds!"

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Li Tai standing behind him and looking at his back in a daze.

East Palace.

The crown prince Li Chengqian is now just in his early twenties, which is the age of high spirits, but there seems to be sadness between his eyebrows, plus a hint of ruthlessness.

Since he suffered from foot disease three years ago, a group of old ministers led by Prime Minister Yu Zhining have not said half a good word about him in front of the emperor.

Building a house was said by them to be luxurious, and after playing with the eunuch for a while, they said that he was like Qin II, and he looked like a dead country.

Like other princes, he was fortunate to be too happy, and after the emperor knew about it, he beheaded him, saying that he was lucky to be a male pet, and he was a plaything.

After the death of his teacher Wei Zheng, his status plummeted, and he saw that the status of the crown prince was about to be taken away by his fourth brother Li Tai.

He sat on the Taishi chair, but his heart was up and down, the sick leg shook involuntarily, and sometimes he even felt that half of the reason why he fell out of favor was because of this leg.

In front of him sat an old man dressed in a dark robe, with a strand of long hair fluttering on his chest, exuding a unique aura of a famous general.

He is a disciple of Marquis Junji of Chen Guogong and Li Jing of Weiguo, a famous general today, a master in Chang'an City who is as famous as Wei Chigong, and also the backbone of the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Hou Junji's face was purple at this time, and he looked very angry.

"The prince is really confused! The Prime Minister admonished that, that was his duty. ”

Li Chengqian's face was unhappy: "That old thing Yu Zhining has long worn the same pants as Li Tai, and has repeatedly fought against the palace. ”

"No matter what, you can't send someone to assassinate you, and in three days it will be the time to do great things, and if this matter is caught, I'm afraid it will fall short."

Li Chengqian made a helpless look: "The matter has come to this, what can I do?" ”

"You are the crown prince, and there are 10,000 ways to kill him when you become the Son of Heaven in the future, and now you are too hasty to do it."

At this time, a man with a long figure and a very handsome appearance ran in, he was the son of the former prime minister Du Ruhui, and now the husband of Princess Chengyang, Duhe.

"Your Highness, someone just ambushed the killer in Xuanwu Gate and planned to assassinate the four princes!"

Li Chengqian was startled at first, and then involuntarily smiled on his face, he now felt that everything that was unfavorable to Li Tai was beneficial to him.

He hurriedly asked, "What is the result?" ”

"As a result, what dozens of killers were waiting for was General Wei Chi, who had already been killed!"

Hearing that Li Tai was still alive, Li Chengqian's face was obviously not as happy as before.

"Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know, but it's really unusual for such a large number of killers to appear in the imperial city."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It seems that I am not the only one in the palace who wants him to die, no matter what, this is a good thing." ”

Du He also smiled when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

Hou Junji's face did not show a happy look because of this incident, but became more and more uncertain.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Chen Guogong?" ”

"Oh no, it looks like someone is going to do something to us!"

"What does that mean?" Li Chengqian was puzzled.

"Your Highness thinks who in Chang'an City wants the four princes to disappear the most?"

Li Chengqian didn't think about it: "Then you still need to ask?" It must have been me, but Bengong only sent someone to assassinate Yu Zhining, and didn't send anyone to find Li Tai at all. ”

Hou Junji saw that he was ignorant, and sighed: "If the assassination of the four princes fails, who will be the first to be suspected?" ”

No matter how stupid Li Chengqian is, he knows that the first person to be suspected must be himself.

"But I didn't send anyone to assassinate me at all"

"Even Wei Chi Gong was involved, which means that His Majesty already knew about this matter, maybe it was he who let that old thing come out."

Li Chengqian suddenly got up: "I'll go to my father to explain." ”

If he is not the crown prince, he will soon become the emperor, Hou Junji really wants to give him a slap in the face, and then ask him to explain a fart.

If the deceit between the royal family can be solved by explanation, such a thing as the Xuanwumen Revolution will not happen at all.

But he was still the crown prince after all, Hou Junji took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.

At this time, a Jin Wuwei dressed in gold armor ran in, sweating profusely, as if he had something urgent to report.

Li Chengqian: "There are no outsiders here, just say what you have to say." ”

"Zhang Sizheng and Su Gan Chengji were arrested in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Hou Junji was furious when he heard this, and raised his hand to smash a coffee table.

When Li Chengqian heard that the two people who had been sent to assassinate the prime minister had been arrested, he immediately panicked and got up suddenly: "Guogong, what should I do now?" ”

"For the sake of the king, you must be calm."

Li Chengqian wanted to say that he didn't know how, but he was not a king now, and he was still a prince with an unstable position.

But it looked at Hou Junji's stern and calm gaze, and slowly sat back on the Taishi chair.
