Chapter 261: The Change of Xuanwu Gate
Chu Zhen watched Zhang Jieyu being threatened by the eldest grandson Wuji, and then sent her back to the palace to accompany Li Yuan.
Zhang Jieyu's face was pale, her hand was covering her throat, and she staggered back, wanting to shout at Your Majesty, but a group of people outside the door were eyeing her and ordered her not to disturb Your Majesty.
"Damn the eldest grandson Mowgli! Damn King Qin! ”
Zhang Jieyu was in a hurry to walk back and forth in the palace, she knew that if she didn't think of any other way, Her Majesty would be finished!
King Qin is plotting rebellion!
He led his troops into the palace late at night and surrounded His Majesty's bedroom!
How did he bring the soldiers in? The defenders of the city are dead!!
Zhang Jieyu wanted to wake up the sleeping Majesty several times, but was frightened by the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Dare to alarm Your Majesty, she will die.
She knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was delaying, but the palace was surrounded by King Qin's soldiers, once His Majesty was alarmed and went out to check, what would she do then?
King Qin is not even afraid of rebellion, and he is still afraid of killing her?!
"The only chance now is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will immediately transfer troops to quell the chaos after learning the news...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must hurry up and ......"
Zhang Jieyu kept reading His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her mouth.
Chu Zhen didn't continue to listen, his vision turned to the Fanglin Gate, Gao Shilian and Qu Tutong sat here, Yu Wenshi and a few people came down the rope ladder, but there was no movement, just wandering between the Xuande Gate and the North Gate military camp in the East Palace.
He also held a walkie-talkie in his hand, waiting for Li Shimin's order.
Chu Zhen then turned his vision to the Xuanwu Gate.
Li Shimin waited in the grove with Wei Chi Jingde and 50 soldiers, all sat down to drink water and rest, and no one talked.
Cen Pingzhong and the others stood guard at the city gate, as usual.
Outside the city, Hou Junji gathered 400 people to also sit and rest in the woods.
The battlefield that should have been tense turned out to be quiet.
"Sir, what's going on?"
Beside Chu Zhen, Du Ruhui asked in a low voice.
The eldest grandson has also been concerned about the development of the situation, but he is not good at asking too much, for fear of disturbing Mr.
"The Temple of Manna has been controlled."
In a simple sentence, everyone present was greatly encouraged.
But soon it quieted down again, and continued to wait patiently.
Minutes and seconds passed.
After Chu Zhen finished writing a message to Sister Lin, a bell suddenly rang from Hongyi Palace.
"It's time!"
Fang Xuanling said, his tone was a little nervous.
Chu Zhen turned his perspective to Chang'an, there were several bell towers in the city, "Bell! Clang! Clang! The loud bell rang throughout Chang'an City.
"Open the gates!"
On the Xuanwu Gate, Cen Pingzhong ordered.
At the same time, the gates of Chang'an City are also slowly opening, and the city that has been sleeping all night is awakened by the sound of bells.
Chu Zhen looked at the sky in the distance, the sky had not yet dawned, and there was only a faint white fish belly in the east.
In the Xuanwumen grove, the team was restless, but they were suppressed by Li Shimin, and everyone continued to wait.
Inside the Temple of Manna.
"Your Majesty!!"
Zhang Jieyu, who was completely desperate, knelt in front of Li Yuan, who woke up, whimpering and crying.
"Why is that?"
Li Yuan was puzzled at first, but when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji standing at the door, holding a sword, staring at the eunuchs and palace maids who were rushing in with their clothes, he woke up like a dream:
"Mowgli, you!"
Li Yuan's expression changed drastically.
The eunuchs and palace maids bowed their heads, holding the items used for washing in their hands, as well as clothes such as yellow robes and scarves.
The hall was frighteningly quiet, only Zhang Jieyu was crying.
"Your Majesty!"
The eldest grandson Wuji stood at the door, bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Please change your clothes and go to Linhu Hall with your ministers!" ”
"You're plotting against !!"
Li Yuan didn't know whether he was angry or afraid, his body trembled, and he looked directly at the eldest grandson Wuji at the door, his face flushed.
No one spoke.
Deathly silent.
The eldest grandson Wuji gave his hand again: "Please change your Majesty's clothes!" ”
"Mowgli!"
It didn't work, Li Yuan's tone softened again: "I am in-law with you, what was the dissatisfaction with the past, now even if I say it, I will forgive all of them!" ”
"Change clothes for Your Majesty!"
The eldest grandson Wuji ordered coldly.
The eunuch palace maid didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please change your clothes!" ”
Chai Dong, the commander of the long ball, persuaded: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, please take care of your body first." ”
Saying that, give them a look, so the palace maids and eunuchs stepped forward and began to strip Li Yuan of his pajamas and scrub his body with a towel.
"Who is the rebellion? Isn't it King Qin?! You answer me! Isn't it him?! ”
Li Yuan asked one after another, but except for Chai Dong, no one dared to answer him.
After changing clothes, Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu were surrounded and walked out of the door, and saw the heavily armed soldiers in front of the palace gate.
Li Yuan recognized at a glance that Gongsun Wuda, Liu Shili, Zheng Rentai and other generals were all from the Qin Palace!
"Erlang!! You're rebelling! ”
Li Yuan refused to go any further, and shouted: "Tell you King Qin to come to see me!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Chai Dong, who hurriedly asked several eunuchs to push and carry him, lifted Li Yuan up, and walked towards the Linhu Palace.
Moreover, there have been eunuchs who have found out several treasure seals of the Tang Emperor and respectfully dedicated them to the eldest grandson Wuji.
Chu Zhen suddenly thought that the jade seal of the country was not in the Tang Dynasty, but still in DTZ, and was taken away by Queen Xiao.
Li Yuan was taken to the Linhu Palace, during which he changed several tones and used several reasons to promise the position of prince, but the people of the Qin Palace's mansion still ignored him.
"Your Majesty, please get on board."
The eldest grandson Wuji made a gesture of invitation, and finally said to him: "Wait for His Royal Highness the King of Qin to quell the rebellion between the crown prince and the king of Qi, and then come and explain the reason for the matter to Your Majesty!" ”
"The prince rebelled?"
The current situation, how can Li Yuan believe it?
"Your Majesty, let's get on the boat first!" Chai Dong persuaded him, and signaled to a few eunuchs, asking everyone to send His Majesty and Zhang Jieyu onto the boat together.
The eldest grandson Wuji gave an order to the eunuchs on the ship: "Without my order, the ship is not allowed to dock, otherwise, you will be killed by random arrows!" ”
The soldiers of the Qin Palace, who were lined up by the lake, raised their longbows.
"Yes."
Several eunuchs hurriedly began to row, carrying the distraught Li Yuan towards the lake.
After doing these things, the eldest grandson Wuji had time to look in the direction of Xuanwu Gate.
Chu Zhen also looked at the Xuanwu Gate.
In the grove, Li Shimin leaned back against the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, holding rice balls and a kettle in his hands, but only half of the rice balls were eaten, and the rest of the people ate them.
"The King."
Wei Chi Jingde called him in a low voice.
"Are they coming?"
"Not yet, it should be soon."
"Keep waiting."
After Chu Zhen glanced at him a few times, he turned his gaze to the Ganlu Gate, Cheng Yanjin and the others were there, and in the entire Taiji Palace, only the Xuanwu Gate was opened, waiting for the fish to come in.
At half past five in the morning, Xiao Yu, Pei Lian, Feng Deyi, Dou Dan, Yan Shigu, Chen Shuda and others came to Xuanwu Gate one after another, and entered the door under the gaze of Cen Pingzhong and others.
It's business as usual.
It wasn't until they were led by the eunuchs to the Linhu Hall that they saw the soldiers and horses of the Qin Wangfu lined up on the shore.
Xiao Yu's face was calm, and he saluted the eldest grandson Wuji, and then walked to the Linhu Hall and waited there.
Pei Lian's expression changed and changed, and he said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "It has come to this point, Your Majesty should listen to my persuasion and let King Qin be the crown prince, and it will not develop to the current brother...... Now the crown prince and the king of Qi are going to rebel! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also asked him to wait in the Linhu Palace.
Feng Deyi sighed: "The prince is narrow-minded and can't tolerate the King of Qin, so that he wants to usurp the throne today, but fortunately, the King of Qin is calm...... Later, I will strongly persuade Your Majesty to make King Qin the crown prince! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also invited him to Linhu Palace.
Chu Zhen smiled, if it was Li Jiancheng who was present, Feng Deyi would have a different face.
The lake hall was quiet.
Li Yuan was boating on the sea pool, beside him was Zhang Jieyu, who was determined to be in a daze, and by the lake was the soldiers and horses of the Qin Wangfu with bows and arrows, and dozens of light horsemen were constantly patrolling the lake.
In the Taiji Palace, the doors of each palace were closed, and the concubines had already learned about this morning's events from the eunuchs and palace maids, and no one dared to take a step out of the palace gate.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yuanji set out from the Qi Palace, left Chang'an from Jianfu Gate, and walked towards the Xuande Gate of the East Palace.
After a while, the crown prince Li Jiancheng walked out of the East Palace, and the two of them walked towards the Xuanwu Gate with dozens of relatives.
At this moment, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at them.
The soldiers on the city walls looked at the prince.
The Qin Wangfu scouts outside were also watching from afar.
Chu Zhen's vision was condescending, watching Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji enter the Xuanwu Gate with only four people, and the rest of them stayed outside to wait.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Cen Pingzhong, as usual, came down from the city gate tower to greet the prince.
"Has King Qin arrived?" Li Jiancheng asked him on his horse.

"It's already here, with Your Majesty in the Linhu Palace."
"I asked."
Li Yuanji stopped his horse and looked at Cen Pingzhong coldly: "Yesterday, I saw you drinking wine and eating meat, and asked you what was the matter, and you replied that Jing Junhong gave birth to a son in his family, but I went back and asked, and no one in his family was pregnant at all!" What's going on? ”
In an instant, the soldiers all looked over, and the expressions on the faces of many people changed.
Cen Pingzhong was shocked in his heart, but there was no panic on his face, he covered it up with frowning thoughts, and quickly replied to him with a smile: "It was General Lu's family who gave birth to a child last night, who mistakenly remembered that General Jing's family gave birth to a child?!" He also replied to His Royal Highness King Qi indiscriminately! ”
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads.
Cen Pingzhong used accountability to hide the panic on the faces of the soldiers guarding the door.
Chu Zhen saw that Li Shimin and the others in the grove had already squatted down and bit the piece in their mouths again, but this time they removed the cloth wrapped around the horse's hooves and put their hands on the pieces held in the horse's mouth, as if they were going to pull it out at any time.
Under the Xuanwu Sect.
Li Yuanji finally dispelled his doubts and entered the Taiji Palace with Li Jiancheng, the two little eunuchs were waiting from afar, and led them in front of them to the Linhu Palace.
Get out of the way.
Li Jiancheng suddenly asked the two eunuchs, "Why do you always keep your heads down?" ”
The two eunuchs panicked, and they ran to the Linhu Palace.
"Chase!"
Li Yuanji took out his bow and arrows, a cruel smile appeared on his fierce face, and rode his horse after him, as if he was hunting.
When he was in Jinyang City, he had hunted people like this.
Arrows, bows, arrows flew out at such speed that they could skim the face of a eunuch.
He fell to the ground in fright, and couldn't help but shout: "His Royal Highness King Qin save me!" ”
"King Qin?"
Li Yuanji shot him in the leg with an arrow and sneered: "He can't save you either!" ”
Bang!!
Suddenly, the Xuanwu Gate in the distance closed heavily, Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng looked back in shock, looked around again, and saw dozens of horses slowly walking out of the grove next to them.
The leader is none other than Li Shimin, the king of Qin!
The two brothers looked at each other from a distance, and nothing needed to be said.
"Let's go!!"
Li Jiancheng rode his horse to the east gate of Taiji Palace, and the two followed closely behind.
Li Yuanji froze.
Li Shimin rode a horse and chased after his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, as fast as the wind, the longbow in his hand was full, his feet were on the stirrups, he was half-bent over, he raised his bow to aim, and shot an arrow.
Burst!
Blood flowers bloomed from the back of Li Jiancheng's head, and he flew up from his horse and fell heavily to the ground.
"King Qi, !! to die"
Wei Chi Jingde arrived on horseback, stabbed forward with the horse lance in his hand, picked him off the horse, and then turned around and hit him on the chest, beating Li Yuanji to the ground completely, and then stabbed him three times with the tip of the horse lance in his left chest, piercing the dark armor he was wearing inside, and the tip of the gun passed through the heart before pulling it out.
The four members of their entourage were soon attacked and killed by the rest of the group.
Six bodies lay on the ground.
Chu Zhen saw that Li Shimin's hands were trembling, and he wanted to get off the horse, but his legs seemed to be weak, and he fell down on the horse, and Wei Chi Jingde and several people hurriedly went to help him.
"The prince is dead."
Chu Zhen said softly.
The eldest grandson, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Dugu Yanyun and others had different expressions.
seemed to want to breathe a sigh of relief, but because it was the prince who died, he had to restrain himself a little and retain some respect for the prince.
Chu Zhen watched Li Shimin come to Li Jiancheng's corpse and knelt down, looking at his remains, but he couldn't say a word.
Wei Chigong stood with a lance.
Chu Zhen suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
For the Tang Dynasty and history, the death of a Li Jiancheng is a matter worthy of special mention, and there will be countless people in the future who will study this incident and analyze every detail, and the changes in Xuanwumen will also become an extremely important part of the history of this time and space.
Millions of people will be affected.
But at this moment, it was only Li Jiancheng who died.
He was killed by Li Shimin with an arrow, which was not much different from Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.
His body was placed alongside five others.
History, however, has thus turned a new chapter.
Li Shimin stood up and soaked up the early morning sun.
In Chang'an City, the streets began to be lively.
They would never have thought that the Tang prince had died in the Taiji Palace.
"Go and tell everywhere, and say that the prince has made trouble with the king of Qi and has been killed."
Li Shimin regained some composure, began to direct the follow-up affairs, took out the walkie-talkie, and told Hou Junji outside the city, Gao Shilian of Fanglin Gate, and Hongyi Palace.
One went to the south gate to tell Cheng Yanjin, one went to the Xuanwu Gate, and another went to inform the eldest grandson Wuji.
The news soon spread to the Linhu Temple.
The eldest grandson Wuji waved to the boat in the lake, and when the boat got closer, he saluted Li Yuan and told him: "Your Majesty, the crown prince has been killed by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please write an edict and ...... the order."
He didn't go on.
Because Li Yuan on the ship had already fallen on the deck of the ship, his face was pale, pointing at him, trembling and unable to speak.
The surroundings of the lake hall are quiet and quiet.
How can there be any "Gaozu Yi Nai'an".
Li Yuan died of the sons of two in-laws, even if they really rebelled, they would be distressed for a while.
Chu Zhen looked outside the Xuanwu Gate.
After the gate was closed, the prince knew that something bad was going on, and they hurriedly ran back to the prince's mansion, and soon someone went to the Changlin army camp not far away, and began to gather soldiers to prepare for the attack on Xuanwu Gate!
In the Prince's Mansion, the sound of gongs sounded.
Soon after, many soldiers from the Qi Palace, which was in Chang'an City, also rushed to Xuanwu Gate to kill together.
Yu Wenshi ventured into the forbidden army camp and announced to them that the crown prince had been killed for rebellion with the king of Qi.
"The King of Qin killed the crown prince and the king of Qi?"
"In the future, King Qin will be the crown prince?"
"Haha, good!"
"What's going on in the palace? What about Your Majesty? ”
"Report - the prince's Changlin army is attacking Xuanwu Gate!"
Time goes by little by little.
The eldest grandson Wuji began to get anxious, and then started to play: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the king of Qi have been ambushed, please write an edict to amnesty the prince and the rest of the king of Qi, and hand over the affairs of the military state to the king of Qin!" ”
Li Yuan on the boat scolded: "Let him come and kill me too!" This is not a filial son, a usurper who seeks to usurp the throne! Shame on the ancestors of the Li family! ”
The king of Qin not only killed the crown prince King Qi, but also asked him to write a pardon, saying that he was killing people at his behest, and that he also wanted to seize military affairs.
Isn't this just rebellion!?
"Your Majesty!!"
The eldest grandson Wuji shouted: "The crown prince and the king of Qi want to kill His Royal Highness the King of Qin in Kunming Pool, and now they have been ambushed, and if Your Majesty does not issue an edict, I am afraid that Chang'an will be in turmoil, resulting in countless deaths and injuries to the people!" ”
"I'm here! Let that unfilial son kill me!! ”
Li Yuan's gaze frequently looked in the direction of the Xuanwu Gate.
Chu Zhen saw it, he wanted to wait, and he was also gambling.
Bet that Li Shimin would not dare to kill him, and wait for the Xuanwu Gate to be broken by the forbidden army.
However.
Chu Zhen saw that Hou Junji led 400 people to kill and began to attack the prince's mansion Changlin army, and soon after, the Xuanwu Gate was opened, and Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng joined Cheng to bite Jin and led 500 soldiers to kill, and attacked the Changlin army before and after, killing it to a great crush.
The forbidden army camp sent a few scouts, and after reading it, they returned to the barracks to give a confession.
"Hold still."
Several generals made a decision, and they did not need to be involved in the matter without an edict.
Zhou Xiaofan, the general of the chariot cavalry, sighed: "We have always received a lot of favors from His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but now that the King of Qin has been persecuted to such an extent, shouldn't we repay His Highness today?" ”
The crowd was silent.
"I am willing to lead the troops for the Prince of Qin and the remnants of the King of Qi!!"
Zhou Xiaofan said to everyone.
Several generals did not speak, acquiescing to his actions.
Zhou Xiaofan got out of the camp tent, returned to the camp under his jurisdiction, and shouted: "Prince Zhu of Qin, who is willing to go with me to help His Royal Highness King Qin, immediately put on armor and weapons, and follow me to Xuanwu Gate!" ”
Suddenly, the barracks were mostly empty.
The turmoil spread to Chang'an City, and everyone was in danger, but the matter of King Qin's killing of the crown prince King Qi spread immediately, and everyone looked forward to King Qin's victory.
The gate of the East Palace was closed, and the Changlin army fled into Zhongnan Mountain, south of Chang'an.
Inside and outside the Xuanwu Gate, it became quiet again.
"Your Highness, I'll take a look!"
Wei Chigong clenched the horse lance and wanted to go to the Linhu Hall to see if Li Yuan could write the edict or not!
"Nope."
Li Shimin stopped him, began to take off his armor, threw away his weapon, and walked towards the Linhu Hall on foot.
Everyone was taken aback, and His Royal Highness took the initiative to avoid the Linhu Hall before, because he didn't want the father and son to see each other.
Can ...... now
In the eyes of everyone, Li Shimin came to the sea pool of the Linhu Palace, and respectfully knelt down towards Li Yuan, who was "boating in the sea pool" in the lake:
"Father!!"
The voice was quietly choked.
Chu Zhen knew that Li Shimin's mood at this moment must be extremely complicated.
