Chapter 306: Two Invite Fang Du
In the ninth year of Wude, the second day of the sixth month, in the morning.
As soon as the hour arrived, the sky was already bright.
The early birds chirp in the garden.
Li Shimin and Guanyin only slept late last night, and they only slept for about an hour before they were woken up by chirping birds.
------
Because there were many things to do on this day, Li Shimin and Guanyin didn't dare to be lazy at all, so they got up early to shower and change clothes, wash and make up.
Outside Qinglu, the blue sky is like a wash, the time has not yet arrived, a round of dazzling sun has already hung in the east sky, it seems that it is going to usher in another hot day.
------
After Li Shimin finished washing, he went to the Chengqian Hall without breakfast, and asked people to call Qiu Xinggong, the hussar general who was on duty that night, and the palace housekeeper who was in charge of communication.
Li Shimin passed an order to Qiu Xinggong, ordering the entire Hongyi Palace to immediately impose martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without his permission.
He then arranged for the palace housekeeper who was in charge of communication, and immediately summoned the eldest grandson Wuji to Hongyi Palace, and handed over a list of palace housekeepers, and asked him to inform the people on the list to go to the Hongyi Palace Chengqian Hall in the morning to discuss matters.
Soon, the eldest grandson Wuji hurried to meet Li Shimin, and Li Shimin asked the eldest grandson Wuji to bring his warrant and personally summoned Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to come to Hongyi Palace to discuss matters.
After the arrangements were completed, Li Shimin returned to Qinglu and had breakfast with Guanyin.
------
Before the time came, Yu Wenshi, the eldest grandson Shunde, Gao Jian, the eldest grandson Wuxian, Wei Chigong, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Qiu Xinggong, Zhang Gongjin, Ding Jikan, Changsun Zhan and others had already come to the Chengqian Palace.
In the list listed by Li Shimin and Guanyin, there are also eldest grandsons Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui who did not come.
Everyone didn't know what to discuss today, but when they saw the presence of Yuwenshi and the eldest grandson Shunde, two high-ranking officials of the imperial court from the second grade, they knew that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had summoned them over this time, and the matter to be discussed must be extraordinary.
Because of the presence of Yu Wenshi and the eldest grandson Shunde, everyone was a little restrained, sitting on the low couch in the hall and not speaking, and the whole hall was quiet, revealing a bit of mystery and treachery.
------
The hour is approaching, and there is an unexpected scene at the back door of the main hall, and everyone's eyes are attracted to the screen behind the middle hall.
Li Shimin was followed by a peerless beauty, bypassing the screen and coming in through the back door of the Chengqian Palace.
I saw this beauty with a high combed bun, light makeup, green clothes and white skirts, elegant and dusty, not coquettish or charming, and her demeanor was square.
This peerless beauty is the wife of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the eldest grandson of the princess of Qin-Guanyin.
------
Because Guanyin rarely shows up outside, Wei Chigong, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Qiu Xinggong, Zhang Gongjin and others are the first time to see Guanyin at close range.
But as soon as they saw Guanyin's noble and elegant temperament, several people had already guessed that this peerless beauty must be Princess Qin.
Everyone wondered in their hearts, looking at today's scene, with the participation of court officials, it must be to discuss major matters, why did Princess Qin participate?
-----
Everyone in the hall saw Li Shimin with Princess Qin Guanyin and her maid coming in from the back door of the Chengqian Palace, and they all hurriedly stood up from the couch and bowed their hands to Li Shimin and Guanyin.
Li Shimin and Guanyin nodded with a smile, signaled to everyone, and then sat down side by side on the couch in the middle.
Li Shimin sat on the left, and Guanyin sat on the right.
Li Shimin looked at the people in the hall with a smile and motioned for everyone to sit down with his hand.
------
Some people may ask, why did Li Shimin and his confidants discuss the removal of the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, why did they let the princess Guanyin of Qin participate?
Maybe take a look at the people in the hall, and you will find that Li Shimin's arrangement of Guanyin to participate in this secret discussion has a special meaning.
In addition to the eldest grandson Wuji, who went to summon Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who had not yet returned, among the people sitting in the palace, the eldest grandson Shunde, Gao Jian, the eldest grandson Wuxian, Ding Jikan, the eldest grandson Zhan and others were all regarded as people who had a close relationship with the eldest grandson family.
------
The eldest grandson Wuji is the brother of Guanyin, and he is the chief of the Qin Palace;
The eldest grandson Shunde is the uncle of Guanyin, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, in charge of the imperial city and the palace city guard;
Gao Jian is the uncle of Guanyin, who is in charge of Yongzhou and is Li Shimin's deputy to Yongzhou Mu;
The eldest grandson Wuxian is the third brother of Guanyin, serving as the prison guard Zhonglang General, in charge of the imperial city and the palace city;
Ding Jikan is the son of Guanyin's maid and maid, and serves as the deputy protector of the Qin Palace.
The eldest grandson, Zhan, was the nephew of Guanyin and served as a lieutenant in the palace of the Qin king.
Li Shimin asked Guanyin to participate, first, to let Guanyin encourage the morale of everyone; The second is to let the people related to the eldest grandson family see that the matters to be discussed today are closely related to the fate of the eldest grandson family.
The people of his Li family are unreliable, and Li Shimin has to rely on the people of the eldest grandson family.
------
As soon as everyone in the hall sat down, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly came in from outside the hall.
He walked up to Li Shimin and bowed, and said apologetically, "Wuji is late, and it is insulting to the mission, so I didn't invite Mr. Fang and Mr. Du."
Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji came back alone, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not come together, so he asked strangely, "Why didn't Mr. Fang and Mr. Du come with the auxiliary machine?"
The eldest grandson Wuji said helplessly, "Wuji went to the palace of the two gentlemen to pass the warrant of King Qin, and neither of them was invited to come."
-------
Li Shimin was even more strange, "There is such a thing? Why won't they come?"
The eldest grandson Wuji replied, "Mr. Fang and Mr. Du both said that they can no longer serve the king of Qin by the decree of the lord, and if they meet privately, it will be a capital crime, so they cannot come on the warrant of the king of Qin."
When Li Shimin heard this, he looked a little annoyed, and reprimanded loudly, "Do the two of them dare to betray me?"
As he spoke, he slapped the saber on several cases with a "snap", and said to Wei Chi Jingde, "Jingde, you go with the auxiliary plane, if you still dare not come, you will cut off the heads of the two of them."
------
Wei Chi Jingde got up from the low couch, walked to Li Shimin, and persuaded Li Shimin to calm his anger with a simple smile, "The two gentlemen didn't come, I think they didn't know what the king was going to discuss today, and they were afraid that they would come privately and let the lord know and bring trouble to the king."
Li Shimin was still angry, and said in a protesting voice, "Jingde went to tell him that the two of them had made up his mind, and invited him and the two of them to come and discuss the plan. If you dare not come, don't talk nonsense with them, you can bring their heads to them."
Wei Chi Jingde grinned, picked up Li Shimin's saber from several cases, bowed down to Li Shimin and Guanyin, and went out of Hongyi Palace with the eldest grandson Wuji, and went to summon Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui again.
------
Wei Chi Jingde and Changsun Wuji each rode a horse, walked out of Hongyi Palace and walked not far west, to Fanglin Gate in the north of Chang'an City.
Yu Chi Jingde and the eldest grandson Wuji entered the city from Fanglin Gate, went south along the west street of the imperial city, and walked to the front gate street of the imperial city.
From the Qianmen Street of the Imperial City to the east, facing the Imperial City is Taipingli, Guangluli, Xingdaoli, and Wubenli.
Du Ruhui lives in Guanglu, and Fang Xuanling lives in Wuben.
It is said that "Chengnan Wei and Du are five feet away from the sky", and it seems that "Chengnan Fangjia" is also not far from the sky, these are all famous families in Chang'an City.
------
Wei Chi Jingde and the eldest grandson Wuji went to the Du Ruhui Mansion in Guanglu first.
Seeing Du Ruhui, Wei Chi Jingde originally relayed Li Shimin's words to Du Ruhui.
This time, Du Ruhui didn't say a word, and agreed to go to the Qin Palace, with Wei Chi Jingde and the eldest grandson Wuji.
Wei Chi Jingde was originally a sincere person, but he smiled and said to Du Ruhui with an unkind smile, "If Mr. doesn't go, Jingde won't kill you, you might as well stay in the mansion and wait for the king to come to the thatched house."
Du Ruhui said solemnly, "How dare you compare yourself to Zhuge Kongming, so ignorant of lifting, even if the king is not annoyed, maybe that Cheng Biting Jin will take the initiative to ask for his life, and if he comes over and doesn't ask about it, he will be cut down."
With that, the three of them couldn't help but laugh heartily. A few people have been waiting for this day for many years, and they are about to get their wish, how can they feel uncomfortable?
------
The eldest grandson Wuji said to Du Ruhui, "Jingde and I are going to see Mr. Fang, besides, it is too conspicuous for a few of us to walk together, it is better for Mr. to pretend to be a Taoist priest, go to Hongyi Palace first, and Jingde and I will go back after seeing Mr. Fang."
Du Ruhui nodded, "It's still the auxiliary machine that is the safest."
After discussing, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chi Jingde went to see Fang Xuanling in the book, and Du Ruhui went to Hongyi Palace after dressing up.
------
The eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chi Jingde came to Fang Xuanling's mansion in the book, and Fang Xuanling did not refuse, that is, he agreed to go to Hongyi Palace to see Li Shimin.
Fang Xuanling also pretended to be a Taoist priest and walked with the eldest grandson Wuji, while Yu Chi Jingde made a detour back to Hongyi Palace alone.
-------
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling came to Hongyi Palace after Yu Chi Jingde, and after the two of them arrived, the people on the list had already arrived.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Shimin first explained to everyone in the hall the purpose of summoning everyone to come.
He said slowly, "This king received news yesterday that the crown prince and the king of Qi want to use this expedition against the Turks to plot against this king and all the soldiers. The lord did not know the truth, and was confused by the two of them, and agreed to their request to transfer the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Qin Palace. Seeing that the army is about to go on battle, the lives of this king and all the soldiers hang by a thread."
"Some time ago, the crown prince and the king of Qi repeatedly slandered the lord and plotted to kill the staff of the Qin Palace, causing Jingde to be imprisoned, and the two gentlemen Fang and Du were expelled from the Qin Palace."
"This king thinks of brotherly affection, and he can't bear to kill the prince and the king of Qi, so he can't bear to bear them again and again."
"But the two of them have intensified, and have repeatedly attacked this king and his colleagues in the royal palace, and now they want to put us to death, and this king has no choice but to do so."
------
Next, Li Shimin gave a detailed introduction to the plans of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Everyone had been holding back their anger for a long time, and when they heard Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's vicious intentions, they gritted their teeth one by one, filled with righteous indignation, and demanded that Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and their comrades be wiped out.
