Originally, because of the successive battles and successes, after making countless military exploits, Li Shimin's prestige has surpassed that of the crown prince, and even because he has the right to open the palace, Tiance Mansion has more rights, and also has an army in Chang'an City.

Of course, the number of this army was small, less than two hundred. But these people are all elite veterans, with all armor and war horses.

However, after Li Jiancheng defeated Liu Heimin, he collected a large number of defeated troops, and Li Jiancheng formed the prince's personal guard, of which there were 2,000 people.

completely surpassed Li Shimin's strength in Chang'an City.

gained a huge advantage, and there were many supporters in the court, but Li Jiancheng was still not at ease with Li Shimin, he befriended Li Yuan's concubine, gave him wealth, asked Li Yuan's concubine to help him say good things, and slandered Li Shimin.

is the so-called three people become tigers, not to mention that Li Yuan's pillow people all say this, and as a result, Li Yuan is more and more dislike of Li Shimin.

Seeing this situation, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji became more and more proud.

Li Yuanji has made great contributions, becoming more and more arrogant, and because of his bad relationship with the King of Qin, he also ridiculed the generals of Tiance Mansion.

After seeing Li Shimin retreat, Li Yuanji was even more proud, so he wanted to kill Li Shimin in one go, and it was a hundred times.

So Li Yuanji held a banquet in the palace, and then invited the crown prince and the king of Qin to come to the banquet. Secretly, he prepared a knife and axe hand to hide in the inner room, and was ready to wait for the king of Qin to come, and then he smashed the cup as a number, and the knife and axe hand went out to kill the king of Qin.

Li Yuanji thought that his plan was in place, but his actions quickly attracted the attention of the Wang family.

Although the Wang family did not know Li Yuanji's specific plan, it was naturally better to be cautious at this time. planned to ask Wang Xuanlie to persuade Li Shimin not to go.

Wang Xuanlie came to the palace of King Qin and persuaded King Qin, but Li Shimin said: "Although Yuanji and I have an average relationship, we are brothers after all, and now he invites me and my eldest brother, this is a family banquet, you don't have to worry." ”

Seeing that King Qin insisted on going, Wang Xuanlie immediately said: "If Your Highness wants to go, then please allow the last general to go with him and accompany the guards." ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and agreed, so he asked Wang Xuanlie and Wei Chi Jingde to lead thirty guards to accompany him.

Li Jiancheng came to the palace of the king of Qi and was pulled aside by Li Yuanji to tell him that when he learned that Li Yuanji was going to kill Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng was shocked and hurriedly stopped him.

But Li Yuanji said: "Big brother, I will kill the murderer, and I will carry the punishment of my father when the time comes, and if I don't take the opportunity to kill him now, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future." ”

Li Jiancheng is still very sober, Li Yuan's series of operations have proved that he has no intention of abolishing the prince, and he is ninety percent sure of winning.

What's more, now that the world is undecided, if the crown prince and the king of Qin attack each other, I am afraid that the world will really be in chaos, and Li Tang is estimated to be unable to dominate the world.

At that time, if the King of Qin dies, the generals under his command Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiji, Wang Xuanlie, and Li Jing will be dismissed from their posts even if they do not die, and go home to retire, and the same is true for the civil officials Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Without these talents, the Tang Dynasty is estimated to be greatly damaged.

Li Yuanji said that he agreed, but he still planned to take the opportunity to kill Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin came to the Qi Palace, Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng greeted him at the door, and the three of them took Li Shimin into the house after a greeting.

After seeing King Qin enter, Wei Chi Jingde and Wang Xuanlie beside him immediately followed, and at this time, Li Yuanji's guards reached out and wanted to stop the two.

It's just that Yu Chi Jingde and Wang Xuanlie are both top generals, how can two guards stop them? Wei Chi Jingde and Wang Xuanlie were not polite at all, their arms were strong, and they directly overturned the two guards to the ground, and they were about to enter with the other guards.

When the three princes heard the movement and looked back, Li Yuanji immediately said angrily: "Bold, do you want to trespass into the Qi Palace?" ”

"We are the guards of King Qin, that is, the palace, and His Majesty has also given an edict to be able to escort the passage, what is the reason why these people block it for no reason?" Wang Xuanlie said in a deep voice.

"You"

"Third brother, don't worry, just let the two of them follow, and the others will wait outside the door." Li Jiancheng said casually.

"Today is our brother's family feast, just follow Jingde and Ah Lie, and you just wait outside the door."

"Yui!"

Everyone obeyed the order, and many guards withdrew from the door, only Wei Chi Jingde and Wang Xuanlie followed. Although the conflict was temporarily resolved, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was still unwilling, glared at the two fiercely, and then turned around and left.

Soon everyone came to the hall, and the banquet was already prepared in the hall, and the three of them sat down, while Yu Chi Jingde and Wang Xuanlie stood behind King Qin.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite harmonious, and Li Yuanji wanted to do it several times, but with Wei Chi Jingde and Wang Xuanlie there, he was worried that he would not be able to kill Li Shimin.

After seeing this situation, Li Yuanji suddenly thought of an idea, and then said: "Big brother and second brother, this time to defeat Liu Heimin, junior brother, I have recruited some Yan Zhao warriors, who are proficient in fighting, and today is just a feast, let them show and show, and add to the banquet." ”

After speaking, Li Yuanji didn't wait for the two to react, and said directly: "Someone!" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen tall and strong men walked in, these people were not wearing armor, but they were holding spears and horizontal knives, and they were full of murderous energy.

Li Jiancheng's face changed suddenly, and he was about to say something, when suddenly a voice sounded: "Warrior? His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I like to compete with warriors the most, so let me weigh these warriors! ”

After Wang Xuanlie saw those people coming in, he immediately rushed to the front, and Wei Chi Jingde also followed.

"It is said that my second brother's generals are all enemies, and today is just the right time to see and learn." Seeing the two of them blocking in front, Li Yuanji said directly without politeness.

"Fourth brother, these two generals of mine are both battlefield generals, and they are both the first generals of the Wan Army, so forget it." Li Shimin shook his head slightly.

"I see, then it's even more necessary to try it, let me open my eyes, little brother." Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Liang Chong, you compete with them!" ”

"Yui!"

After the leader responded, he immediately led someone with a gun and stabbed at the two without the slightest politeness.

Wang Xuanlie and Wei Chi Jingde roared, their bodies were like galloping horses, and they rushed forward in an instant, although there were only two of them, they were like thousands of troops and horses charging.

The two of them were quick-eyed, reached out and grabbed the spear that stabbed them, and the next second they used their arms to directly provoke the other person, and swept over the battle array.

However, in the blink of an eye, the two columns of soldiers were torn apart by the two of them.

Wang Xuanlie broke it even harder, directly broke all the spears in his hand, and then threw them in front of Li Yuanji. His eyes stared coldly at Li Yuanji's neck.

Li Yuanji suddenly only felt a chill in his neck, his eyes were frightened, and he didn't dare to say another word.

Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "Today's banquet is very enjoyable, and the competition is also very exciting, thank you for the hospitality of the fourth brother, if it is not early today, I am a little overwhelmed by the wine, so I will leave first." ”

After Li Shimin bowed his hand to the two, he got up and left the hall, Wang Xuanlie and Wei Chi Jingde saluted the two and turned to leave.

Seeing Li Shimin and the three of them leaving, Li Yuanji's face turned blue and changed back and forth, and then he slammed the wine glass on the ground: "A bunch of waste, get down!" ”
