Chapter 312: The Eve of the Great Change

According to the plan discussed by Li Shimin and Guanyin, after obtaining Li Yuan's consent, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were lured to the harem of Taiji Palace and killed them.

The key to this plan is, first of all, to obtain Li Yuan's consent. In this way, Li Shimin can lead his soldiers into the harem and ambush in the harem.

Secondly, it is to make Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji think that there is no danger in going to the harem of Taiji Palace. The two of them were able to enter the palace boldly and arrive at the location where Li Shimin had set up an ambush.

Third, it is necessary to add the crime of rebellion to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. It is necessary to lure the soldiers of the East Palace and the Qi Palace, to attack the palace, and form the fact that the East Palace and the Qi Palace's Mansion are rebelling.

Fourth, Li Shimin came forward to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, creating a false appearance that Li Yuan did not know, so as to cover up Li Yuan's notoriety of killing his own son.

-------

After listening to Li Shimin's overall plan, Li Yuan nodded in agreement, and he said apologetically, "Erlang bears the notoriety of killing his brother alone, but he is actually taking the blame on behalf of his father."

Li Shimin comforted Li Yuan, "The battle for the heir is actually a matter between our brothers, and now it is unfilial piety to stir up Grandpa in it. If Grandpa is given the notorious reputation of killing his son because of his son, his son will be guilty for the rest of his life."

"Rather than let others think that our father and son are complicit, it is better to let the sons bear it alone."

Li Yuan said helplessly, "It seems that this is the only way."

------

After Li Yuan and Li Shimin finished discussing, when the day was approaching, Li Shimin said goodbye to Li Yuan and left Taiji Palace.

Li Yuan called Zifu according to the planned arrangement and instructed her, "You go and inform Concubine Yin De, I will be in the Great Ji Hall tonight."

This day is the third day of the sixth lunar month, and it should not be Concubine Yin De's turn to enter the imperial chamberlain, Zifu reminded Li Yuan, "Lord, today is the third day of the first lunar month."

Li Yuan knew that his arrangement broke the rules for the concubines in the palace to enter the imperial chamberlain, and said to Zifu, "No matter what the first day it is, you just have to arrange it."

When Zifu heard Li Yuan say this, she didn't want to ask too much, and after saluting Li Yuan, she went as promised.

------

Then, Li Yuan called the inner counselor on duty and explained to him, "Spread the edict of my hand, tomorrow morning, summon the crown prince, King Qin, King Qi, Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, Yu Wenshi, Dou Dan, Yan Shigu and others to discuss matters in the Wangyun Pavilion on the east side of the harem sea pool."

The inner prisoner's heart was also full of doubts, he wrote down the content of Li Yuan's explanation, and then repeated the contents of the handwritten edict to Li Yuan, asking Li Yuan to review, "Lord, is there a mistake in the slave's memory?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, you just pass it on like this." If someone asks me why I am in the harem, you will say that it is hot, and the sea pool is cooler."

------

Li Yuan arranged for the minister to enter the harem to discuss matters, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

According to the usual practice, the outer court proceedings are located in the Taiji Hall, and the inner court proceedings are located in the Liangyi Palace.

According to the rules of the palace, the minister was not allowed to enter the harem. Convening ministers in the harem is unprecedented since the opening of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan knew that his arrangement had broken the convention, and not only the inner counselor was puzzled, but the summoned person must also have doubts, so he specially explained that it was because the weather was too hot that he changed the discussion in the harem.

It is also understandable to change to the harem, because at this time in previous years, Li Yuan went out of Chang'an to the cool palace to escape the summer, and he did not go out to escape the summer this year, and it makes sense to find a cool place during the discussion.

------

From the two things arranged by Li Yuan, we can see three abnormalities.

One is that Japan should not be fortunate to Concubine Yin De, Li Yuan broke the system of entering the palace to enter the palace and concubine Yin De.

The second is that Li Yuan broke the rules of the palace and convened the ministers to discuss matters in the harem.

The third is that when I was supposed to go to the palace to escape the summer, I didn't go out of Chang'an to escape the summer this year.

But these anomalies are not abnormal for Li Yuan, because he is the emperor, and what he wants to do is a reasonable thing.

------

When Li Shimin left the Taiji Palace, the night ban had been lifted.

Because the order of the night ban is to close the city gate first, and then close the palace gate, so at this time, the palace gate and the gate of the imperial city are not related.

Li Shimin took Wei Chi Jingde and a group of entourage, out of the Shuntian Gate of the palace city, walked out of the Anfu Gate of the imperial city to the west, and walked along the west street of the imperial city to the Fanglin Gate in the north of Chang'an City, the city gate was closed.

The prison guards and city gate guards guarding Fanglin Gate, seeing that it was Li Shimin and others, checked the customs clearance talisman as usual, and then opened the city gate to let Li Shimin and others out of the city.

------

Li Shimin returned to Hongyi Palace, Guanyin, Gao Jian, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji and other confidants were still waiting anxiously in the Chengqian Palace.

Seeing Li Shimin come back, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin looked at Guanyin who stood up to greet her, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Li Shimin walked to Guanyin's side, and greeted everyone with a smile.

------

Guanyin stood there with a smile on her face, her eyes moving with Li Shimin's figure, although she was speechless, she was full of concern.

Li Shimin walked to the couch in the middle hall, came to Guanyin's side, smiled happily at her, and whispered, "Okay."

Three simple words have conveyed all the information to Guanyin.

------

Li Shimin and Guanyin sat down on the couch, and everyone also sat down.

Li Shimin understood the mood of the staff members at this time, they had been waiting here for a whole afternoon, and they must have been eager to know what happened to Li Shimin during his time in the palace.

He picked up what he could say, briefed all his aides on the process of persuading Li Yuan, and told them that Li Yuan had agreed to act according to their plan.

The staff were all very excited when they heard this, and they were all gearing up and eager to try, as if they were about to enter the palace immediately.

------

Li Shimin asked everyone to be quiet, and arranged for the eldest grandson Wuji to inform the eldest grandson Shunde and the eldest grandson Wuxian, and let them come to Hongyi Palace to listen to the dispatch.

Let the others go to have dinner first, and then rest for a while, and when the time comes, the civil and military officials of the Qin Wangfu above the sixth rank will gather in the Chengqian Palace.

After the explanation, all the staff members dispersed one after another, and Li Shimin and Guanyin returned to the Qinglu in the back garden together.

------

After dinner, it was already daytime, and there were still two hours left in the ion time.

For Li Shimin and Guanyin, this is a period of leisure time.

Li Shimin suggested taking this opportunity to relax in the garden, and he asked Guanyin, "Do you want to sit in the pavilion at the back of the garden for a while?"

Guanyin shook her head in disagreement, "That place is too far away, today is not as good as in the past, in case there is an emergency, no one can find where we are." Why don't we go to the Hexin Pavilion by the Pure Heart Lake, and let Hsinchu go there to find us if we have something."

------

After Guanyin explained clearly to Hsinchu and Zhanhua, she and Li Shimin went out of Qinglu together, passed the small bridge on the canal, stepped on the pebble path in the forest, and turned left to come to the Jingxin Lake.

Although it is already the middle of the day, the summer days are long, and the sky is not yet dark.

Just turn the woods, see the pure heart lake, Guanyin was stunned by the scenery in front of her, near the west side of the pure heart lake, actually opened half a pond of lotus, in the slight light of the dusk, one by one lotus flowers, curling Tingting, still can not hide the charm and charm.

------

Guanyin walked a few steps to the lake, pulled up her long skirt, and squatted down to watch. Only then did I realize that I looked at one flower next to another from a distance, but when I arrived in front of me, I was far away.

Li Shimin stood behind Guanyin and reminded with a smile, "Be careful, don't stumble and fall into the water." As he spoke, he gently held Guanyin's shoulder.

------

Guanyin stood up and complained about Hsinchu and Zhanhua, "The lotus flowers in the lake are blooming so well, Hsinchu and Zhanhua don't know to tell me."

Li Shimin smiled and complained about Hsinchu and Zhanhua, "The two of them are called by you every day, where do you have time to come here to play?"

Guanyin thought for a while, pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right, they follow me every day, I haven't been here for a while, so naturally they don't have time."

------

At this time, Guanyin made another surprising discovery, only to see a black water chicken leading seven or eight chicks, foraging among the lotus bushes.

Its body is so light, and its feet are walking on lotus leaves in the water, as if walking on flat ground.

Guanyin raised her face and asked Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, why do you say there are water chickens here?"

Li Shimin said with a smile, "Ah Wan forgot, the Pure Heart Lake and the canal are connected together, and they must have swam along the canal."

Guanyin nodded repeatedly, "Very likely."

------

The two of them were talking about the origin of the black water chicken, and Guanyin saw the big water chicken peck into the water violently, and successfully caught a very small fish.

The big water chicken did not swallow the small fish, but stepped on the lotus leaf and walked to the chicks, and let the chicks peck with their mouths.

Guanyin pointed to the water chicken happily and said to Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, look, it's feeding the chickens."

Li Shimin said, "The chicks are so small, how can they grow up if they are not fed?"

------

Looking at the scene of the water chickens feeding affectionately, Li Shimin touched the scene and thought of his father Li Yuan.

He said to Guanyin with some emotion, "I heard that when these chicks grow up, the big water chickens will drive them away from them and let them forage for food on their own."

"However, people are different, not only do they have to raise their children, but they also have to manage their children to get married and have children, and after getting married and having children like us, we have to worry about grandpa."

------

Li Shimin looked at Guanyin and expressed the worry in his heart, "This afternoon, when I saw Grandpa's temples like frost, I felt a little pitiful in my heart. If he watches me kill my eldest brother and fourth brother tomorrow, I wonder if he will be heartbroken?"

Guanyin comforted Li Shimin, "Grandpa has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is used to seeing life and death, and I believe he will not be defeated by this incident."

"Grandma thinks that the scene of killing the uncle and the fourth uncle should be tried not to be seen by the grandfather, after all, they are the sons of the grandfather."

Li Shimin nodded, "I will remember this matter, and try to avoid Grandpa when the time comes."

------

As soon as the murder was mentioned, Guanyin suddenly lost interest in admiring the lotus flowers, she took Li Shimin's hand and said, "Let's go to the Hexin Pavilion by the lake and sit down."

Li Shimin took Guanyin's hand, bypassed the south shore of Jingxin Lake, and came to the Hexin Pavilion in the east of the lake.

When she arrived in the pavilion, Guanyin sat facing west with Li Shimin, she looked up at Li Shimin and asked faintly, "Brother Shimin, do you remember that the maid told you not to laugh at life and death?"

------

Li Shimin stroked Guanyin's hand and said softly, "How can Brother forget what Auntie said? I remember if you said it on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival this year."

Guanyin nodded, it was indeed said that day.

Li Shimin recalled, "You said, those who kill people with pleasure cannot achieve the ambition of the world. Is that what you say?"

Guanyin pursed her lips and corrected in a coquettish voice, "What did the maid say? I was quoting Lao Tzu."

Li Shimin teased her, "Brother doesn't care if you quote it or not, as long as it comes out of the mouth of the maid, it is what the maid said."

------

Li Shimin teased Guanyin twice, then made a whole face and said seriously, "Brother must remember the words of the maid, don't laugh at life and death, and cherish every life. This afternoon, Grandpa said to me that it will soon be passed on to my ......."

Before Li Shimin's words were finished, Guanyin suddenly sat up straight, she didn't seem to believe that Li Yuan would say this, and asked in surprise, "Really?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Grandpa did say so. When the time comes, the people of this world will be my people, and I will let everyone live and work in peace and contentment, and fulfill my ambition to help the world and the people."

------

Guanyin sighed, "Grandpa can't bear to give up his two sons and hand over the world to you, if Brother Shimin can keep the world peaceful, he will be regarded as living up to Grandpa's hard work." I hope that tomorrow, I can kill fewer people and let Chang'an City return to peace as soon as possible."

Li Shimin assured Guanyin, "Don't worry, I have already thought that after tomorrow, anyone who is involved with the eldest brother and the fourth brother, as long as they keep their duty, the elder brother will not be held accountable."
