Chapter 276: The Prince's Rebellion
At the top of the power, the place is too small, only a square inch of land.
It is not possible to accommodate two people at the same time.
Those who compete for the top of power will either gain a firm foothold in this square inch, or they will be squeezed down and shattered.
------
Thinking about the terrible danger of the road ahead, thinking about the failure of the battle for the heir, the old and young women and children of the family are afraid of dying, Guanyin shuddered, and tears filled her eyelashes in the dark night.
Li Shimin gently kissed the tears on Guanyin's cheeks, and comforted her in her ear, "Auntie believes in Brother, with Auntie help, there is nothing in this world that Elder Brother can't do."
Guanyin felt that Li Shimin's left hand was holding her right arm, transmitting an invincible force to her. Then the hand slowly let go, gently caressing Guanyin's shoulder, fingers gently brushing her neck, gently pinching Guanyin's earlobe.
That big hand has endless strength and indescribable tenderness.
------
Li Shimin's lips kissed Guanyin's cheeks and touched her sideburns. The fingertips caressed Guanyin's maiden jade's skin, ironing out the uneasiness in her heart.
Guanyin regained the sense of security she trusted the most.
After a gentle gust of wind and clouds, there is an irresistible masculinity that strikes Guanyin like a sea of mountains, showing her strength and confirming to her the strength of her lover.
With the most powerful man in the world guarding herself, why can't Guanyin feel at ease?
------.
On the third day of the sixth month, Li Yuan will drive the Lucky Renzhi Palace.
Before leaving, Guanyin told Li Shimin Yinyin, "Brother Shimin should be extra careful on this trip, and there must be no mistakes. I hope that Brother Shimin will return safely."
She untied a sachet from her waist and let Li Shimin look at it, Guanyin's flower-like delicate face, with determination in perseverance, "Awen puts the poison in the sachet and takes it with her at any time, if the Shimin brother is not secret, Awen is not alone."
Li Shimin held Guanyin's shoulders with a pair of big hands, and said confidently, "Auntie believes in Brother, everything is under Brother's control."
------
On the third day of the sixth lunar month, the Son of Heaven will set off at five o'clock.
Two days before the trip, Taile Ling set up drum music in the palace.
At six o'clock, a drum was struck, and the police were under martial law for the first time.
At the right moment, the second drum was beaten, and the second martial law was transmitted.
At three o'clock, three drums were beaten, and the police were alerted for the third time.
After the three-way drum sounded, the twelve guards and guards each held a gun and a halberd in front of the Taiji Palace.
Hundreds of civil and military officials stand above the court.
The servant and the book order greeted the holy car on the west side of the gate of the Taiji Palace.
Take the Yellow Ring facing south station on the north side.
General Qianniu held a long knife and stood in the middle of the road facing north.
------
Everything was ready, and the imperial servant served the Tang Emperor Li Yuan to board the car.
General Qianniu stepped forward to hold the bridle, and the servant and the middle secretary stood on both sides.
Luan drove to start, vigilated, transmitted the sound with drums, summoned everyone, etc., guarded and guarded, and cleared the way.
The car drove out under the guidance of the Huangmen squire and Yizan, and General Qianniu walked quickly with a horse bridle in his hand.
------
Luan drove out of the Shuntian Gate, and the Yellow Gate squire played, "The car stops for a while, please ride the horse."
After asking Li Yuan for instructions, the courtiers were allowed to mount.
The courtiers and guards were all ordered to get on their horses, and the squire of the Yellow Gate asked to set off.
The Wannian county order is the forerunner in front of the head.
Jing Zhaomu, Taichangqing, Situ, Yushi Dafu, and the military department Shangshu were all equipped with honor guards according to their respective grades and walked in front.
------
Before Luan, there were all kinds of honor guards, flags, and guards of various classes, totaling no less than 2,000 people.
Behind is the Luan car ridden by the Tang Emperor Li Yuan.
The Son of Heaven was driven by six horses, driven by the Imperial Servant, and there were thirty-two drivers.
General Qianniuwei accompanied him with a long sword in gold armor, and one general on the left and right sides of the guard rode a horse to escort on both sides.
------
After Luan's driving, there are still all kinds of honor guards.
Then, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the princes, princesses, and concubines who accompanied them drove the honor guards.
Then there was the guard of honor of the accompanying civil and military officials.
Behind them were the twelve guards.
------
When the Son of Heaven traveled, the honor guard, the accompanying officials, the guards, all the personnel totaled tens of thousands.
Out of the Beijing Division, heading north, all the personnel went in turn, stretching for more than ten miles before and after.
Wherever the car goes, the whole road is guarded, the guards are on guard, and the road is cleared.
This is the majesty of the Son of Heaven's travel.
------
Yizhou Phoenix Valley Renzhi Palace, three hundred miles north of Chang'an.
The car of the Tang Emperor Li Yuan lasted five days to reach the Renzhi Palace.
Because the Renzhi Palace is built poorly and the place is small, the accompanying officials and guards are camped outside the palace and guarded outside.
------
At the end of June, the crown prince Yiwei Fulang general Er Quansheng and the school captain Qiao Gongshan sued the prince Li Jiancheng and instructed Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, to plot rebellion.
Li Shimin originally thought that Li Jiancheng could use Li Yuanrenzhi Palace to escape the summer and do an earth-shattering event, but Li Shimin was greatly disappointed.
Before Li Jiancheng could make any movement, the matter was revealed.
To Li Shimin's disappointment, because the rebellion had not yet been put into practice, Li Yuan might not convict Li Jiancheng of rebellion.
-------
Why did Prince Li Jiancheng want to rebel?
If you want to understand the whole story, you have to start with Feng Deyi arousing Li Jiancheng's murderous intent.
That time, Li Jiancheng invited Feng Deyi to the East Palace to discuss how to deal with Li Shimin.
Feng Deyi told Li Jiancheng the story of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, "a piece of the pie", and he reminded Li Jiancheng that "for those who are from all over the world, they do not care about their relatives", which aroused Li Jiancheng's heart to kill Li Shimin.
------
After Feng Deyi left, Li Jiancheng discussed with Li Yuanji how to formulate a plan to get rid of Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji believed that in Chang'an, the capital division, Li Shimin's power was too great and his strength was too strong, and they had no chance of getting rid of Li Shimin at all.
After hard thinking and meditation, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came up with the opportunity to take advantage of Li Yuan's summer vacation to Renzhi Palace, kidnap Li Yuan, and kill Li Shimin.
------
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's plan was to let Yang Wengan, the governor of Gyeongju, lead Gyeongju's soldiers and horses to raid Yizhou Renzhi Palace, and Li Yuanjili should cooperate with the outside world and get rid of Li Shimin in one fell swoop.
That's why they arranged it this way, with the following two considerations.
------
The first thing to consider is that Yang Wengan is Li Jiancheng's cronies, and he followed Li Jiancheng when he was in Hedong, and he is a core member of the prince's party, and he is Li Jiancheng's most trustworthy person.
The last time Li Jiancheng recruited warriors, Yang Wengan gave strong support and sent hundreds of people to Li Jiancheng.
Because Yang Wengan was loyal to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng relied on him very much, and just ascended to the position of prince, let Yang Wengan be in charge of the guards of the East Palace.
Later, Li Jiancheng tried his best to promote Yang Wengan to the position of governor of Gyeongju, holding the military and political power of Gyeongju, making Gyeongju the strongest force on Li Jiancheng's side outside Chang'an.
------
The second consideration is that Gyeongju is located in Longdong, more than 400 miles away from the Phoenix Valley Renzhi Palace in Yizhou, and there is only one Bonju between the two places.
If cavalry is sent from Gyeongju to carry out a surprise attack on Inji Palace, it will only take one day to arrive at Inji Palace from Gyeongju, and the effect of a surprise attack can be achieved.
------
After the plan was preliminarily determined, Li Jiancheng sent someone to contact Yang Wengan, and Yang Wengan obeyed Li Jiancheng's arrangement, but he proposed to send troops from Gyeongju, and he could only send cavalry.
If you send infantry, the road is too long, the march time is long, so many people will soon be discovered, and before they reach Yizhou, they will be intercepted by the state and county garrisons along the way.
-----
However, if the cavalry is dispatched, with the power of Gyeongju alone, the cavalry that can be summoned can not exceed 1,000 people.
In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack with a thousand cavalry, it is necessary to send heavy cavalry with strong combat effectiveness.
The cost of equipping heavy cavalry was high, and Gyeongju could not afford it at all, so he had to ask the crown prince Li Jiancheng to provide the armor needed for knights and war horses.
------
Li Jiancheng received Yang Wengan's request, and also deeply felt the importance of equipping Yang Wengan with heavy cavalry, if the army sent from Gyeongju did not have a certain combat effectiveness, to raid Inji Palace was tantamount to a moth to a fire.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji tried their best to collect hundreds of sets of heavy cavalry armor from the guards of the East Palace and the guards of the Qi Palace, and prepared to send the prince Yiwei Fulang to send Er Quansheng and the school captain Qiao Gongshan to Gyeongju.
------
However, after hundreds of sets of heavy cavalry armor were collected, how to transport them out of Chang'an City became a difficult problem.
Hundreds of sets of heavy cavalry armor is not a small number, it takes dozens of vehicles to load, and it is a trouble for such a large number of ordnance to be transported out of Chang'an City.
The gates of Chang'an City were guarded by the prison guards, and the guards were under the control of Li Shimin, and if they brazenly transported these armors out, they would definitely be stopped by the prison guards.
-----
In desperation, Li Jiancheng thought of Cao Duyan, a soldier of the Tiance General's Mansion, and Du Yan was Li Shimin's subordinate.
Li Jiancheng inquired about Du Yan and asked him if he could come up with a solution.
Du Yan promised Li Jiancheng that he had a personal relationship with the prison guards and could spend a lot of money to buy off the prison guards on duty to smuggle the heavy cavalry armor out of the city.
Li Jiancheng gave Du Yan a lot of money to open up the joints, and Du Yan lived up to Li Jiancheng's expectations and successfully completed the matter.
------
After Li Yuan led people to drive the Inzhi Palace, Li Jiancheng began to plan for Gyeongju to send troops to raid the Inzhi Palace.
With the help of Du Yan, Li Jiancheng sent the crown prince Yiwei Fulang to send Er Quansheng and the school captain Qiao Gongshan to secretly transport the heavy cavalry armor from Chang'an City and send it to Gyeongju City.
------
Er Quansheng and Qiao Gongshan are also Li Jiancheng's cronies, and the two followed Li Jiancheng when they were in Hedong, and they once cooperated with Li Jiancheng to rectify Li Yuanji and stimulate Li Yuanji to learn martial arts.
The two of them have been following Li Jiancheng for so many years, and now they have also mixed with the military attachés of the fourth and fifth ranks.
The fourth and fifth grades are not considered big officials in Chang'an, but when they arrive in the local area, they are equivalent to the history of a state.
------
Before Er Xuansheng and Qiao Gongshan took refuge in Li Jiancheng, they were outlaws, but the two of them were shrewd and not stupid at all.
After the two became officials, the bigger the officials, the more they spared their lives, they were no longer the bachelors of the year, and now they have beautiful wives and concubines, countless family homes and properties, and more concerns, so they will weigh the pros and cons and calculate the gains and losses in case of trouble.
------
Er Xuansheng and Qiao Gongshan escorted the heavy cavalry armor out of Chang'an.
Walking on the road, the two of them summed up in their hearts, whether the prince Li Jiancheng could succeed in doing this, if he didn't succeed, the consequence would be to raid his family and destroy the door.
