Chapter 224: Xuanwu Shocking Changes
The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Chu Mofeng met with Wang Hui in the East Palace in the East City Wine Shop, and found out the news he needed from Wang Hui's mouth, and also unexpectedly learned that someone in Tiance Mansion had bought Wang Hui with a lot of money, and then Chu Mofeng disguised himself alone, went to Pei Lian's mansion in Taipingfang, and successfully brought Pei Lin to Jing Zhaoyin's cell, and under the safety of his family as a bargaining chip, Chu Mofeng successfully controlled Pei Lian.
On the other hand, everyone in Tiance Mansion gathered together to discuss related matters, but unexpectedly Qin King Li Shimin retreated, Chu Mofeng saw this and decisively arranged various matters, asking everyone to support themselves to ascend the throne after the matter was completed, and when everyone was about to express his position, Wang Hui was invited to the Qin Palace, and told the non-existent conspiracy, and then Li Shimin finally woke up, so he firmly believed and decided to compete with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Things went according to the plan in an orderly manner, who knew that after Li Shimin secretly played the prince and the king of Qi to Li Yuan to disturb the harem, Li Yuan sent an envoy to the mansion of the relevant personnel to pass the edict, and one of the envoys was Zhang Jieyu's confidant, and after the edict was passed on, Zhang Jieyu was quickly informed of the matter, so the door of the palace was locked and could not move, and Zhang Jieyu had no choice but to wait until dawn and send his cronies to the East Palace to report the news.
At the beginning of the third day of the ninth year of Wude, the main hall of the West Palace, the main hall of the Chengqian Hall was brightly lit, and the palace guards with five hundred distinctive armor were surrounded by dense turns.
Martial law has been imposed in the palace of the king of Qin, palace dependents, maids, guards, chamberlains, clerks, miscellaneous servants, soldiers and all kinds of people are not allowed to move around at will, the palace is densely guarded, and the three palace gates are guarded by heavy soldiers.
At this moment, Chu Mofeng was sitting quietly in the mansion located in Yiningfang, his full armor had already been dressed, and he was sitting quietly with a pestle in his hand, sitting quietly like this, and Liu Feiyan and others on the side had also put on masks, each holding a weapon and sitting in a precarious position.
The Xianwang Mansion is also under martial law at this moment, and in view of the small number of people in the mansion, each room is managed separately, and all the people in the mansion are properly settled.
In Chang'an City, Chu Mofeng had already sent people to the West Market to greet the underground forces of the Hu people, and tomorrow the West Market would be closed for one day, and no one would be allowed to enter or leave the city no matter what changes there were. As for those Jianghu sect families, as well as Ma Weiping and Mo Liluo, Chu Mofeng had already issued an order, and the East Market was closed for one day, and all merchants in the city were not allowed to go on the streets.
And Chu Mofeng also did his best to settle all the people under his command, and then ordered his subordinates, the Longcheng Army, and the ally East Route Army to lie dormant.
A group of people were waiting quietly in the house, only to see Shi Hanshuang and Dou Jingyan walking in fully armed, Chu Mofeng stood up and looked at the two of them when he saw this, and said: "You two don't go out tomorrow, especially Jingyan, since you belong to the emperor's relatives and have been named the county lord, if Your Majesty learns about it, won't it make him feel cold?"
Dou Jingyan nodded, and raised the overlord bow in her hand, "That concubine is in the mansion and Feng'er to protect the safety of the mansion." Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Shi Hanshuang, who was already wearing a mask, and said, "Have you thought about it?"
"Since you decided to take the other side flower this time, then as a member of the other side flower, I definitely can't stand by and watch, I am relieved that Feng'er and Jingyan are in the house. Shi Hanshuang nodded, then put on his mask, and then sat aside.
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng walked over to Dou Jingyan and whispered, the latter nodded and quickly left here.
On the other side, the action of infiltrating the Taiji Palace was extremely smooth, Li Shimin led the twelve generals and 200 personal soldiers from the Yong'an Gate out of the West Palace when the fourth son of the first month, and turned out of the imperial city from the Anfu Gate on the west side, along the city wall all the way to the north, through the Fanglin Gate into the West Inner Garden, and entered the Xuanwu Gate smoothly under the response of the 100 North Gate Forbidden Army led by Chang He himself.
Along the way, although he encountered two cases of interrogation by the Southern Guard patrol, he was immediately repelled by Li Shimin, who was dressed in the crown uniform of the prince, and met a city defense team before entering the Fanglin Gate, but he did not ask and turned a blind eye. At three o'clock, the soldiers and horses of the Qin Mansion had successfully driven to the Linhu Palace.
Splitting the copper lock and entering the hall, Li Shimin glanced at the hall with an expressionless face, and then walked up the ladder to the second floor. Pushing open the windows on the north and south sides, Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, what Concubine Yang said was true, this is indeed the best place to monitor the Xuanwu Gate and the Hall of Eternal Life. He turned to the eldest grandson Wuji who came upstairs and said, "That's it, you guys go and arrange it, I'll take a break and rush to the Hall of Eternal Life immediately, King Xian is still waiting for me over there." ”
At three o'clock, Chu Mofeng led the other side flower team to leave the mansion in Yiningfang, and before leaving, Chu Mofeng instructed Dou Jingyan not to open the door until midnight tonight. Then he turned on his horse and walked straight to the palace.
Through Yining Fang's Li Zheng opened the door, Chu Mofeng and others quickly left Yining Fang, all the way through Anfu Gate to Chengtian Gate to Xuanwu Gate, Chang He, who was in charge of guarding, saw a few horses coming quickly, and immediately was shocked, thinking that it was a leak, and hurriedly led people forward to stop it.
After a few horsemen stepped forward, Chang He was about to ask, but he saw the mask of the leader by the light of the fire, and immediately ordered someone to open the Xuanwu Gate without saying a word, and then only heard the person pass by and said: "Today, there is still a Tiance army that needs to borrow the way, and I hope General Chang will dredge one or two." ”
Then this person took a few horses behind him and smoothly entered the Xuanwu Gate, and in the depths of the woods on the right side of the Xuanwu Gate, he found that Yu Chi Jingde led seventy elite cavalry to hide here, and when he saw Chu Mofeng coming, Yu Chi Jingde nodded.
I saw Wei Chi Jingde whispering: "His Royal Highness King Xian, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Eldest Sun Shunde, Duan Zhixuan, Qiu Xinggong and others led more than 700 people as front-line support, waiting near the private house not far from the Xuanwu Gate. ”
"Defend it, success or failure is here, I am going to rush to the Palace of Eternal Life to find King Qin now. Chu Mofeng hugged the head of the jade lion in the night, turned over on the horse's back, and then clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and walked straight in the direction of the Hall of Eternal Life.
At this moment, in the Hall of Eternal Life, Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan in a nightgown with a resentful face, and Li Yuan was also surprised with a little anger, and the father and son looked at each other quietly. After a while, Li Yuan regained the majesty of the emperor, and said with a cold snort: "Why did Erlang enter the palace at this time? Why is he holding a sharp blade? Are you trying to do a great rebellion?"
I saw that the sword in Li Shimin's hand was not unsheathed, but looked at Li Yuan and said angrily: "Father, the son has the courage to ask, how many battles have the sons fought for the Tang Dynasty over the years, how many contributions have they made? Why has the father and emperor become more and more alienated from the sons and daughters in recent years? Could it be that the sons have done something wrong?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, just ......" Looking at his second son in front of him, Li Yuan sighed lonely, remembering the conversation between himself and Chu Mofeng in the imperial study, and couldn't help but feel helpless.
"It's just because Erchen is too dazzling and covers Li Jiancheng's waste, right?" Li Shimin slammed the scabbard in his hand to the ground and yelled at the top of his voice: "Because of this, you can turn a blind eye to the harem of the waste and the two sluts Yin and Zhang; because of this, you can laugh at the waste who has repeatedly designed to frame Erchen; because of this, the officials loyal to the Tang Dynasty under the command of Erchen just had a quarrel with the father of the slut surnamed Yin, but they were beaten up for no reason...... ”
Speaking of this, Li Shimin wiped a handful of tears, and then looked at Li Yuan coldly, " In fact, father, these things can be ignored, after all, you wanted to set up your son as the prince three times, and it was the son who resigned first, not that the son did not want to be the prince, but the fall of the Sui Dynasty was a lesson from the past, and the son also wanted to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous for a long time, so the son repeatedly refused, but who knew that the outside world still thought that the son wanted to fight for this prince, and the son repeatedly tolerated it, if it wasn't for Chu Xiaozi to defend the son everywhere, I'm afraid this year is already the death day of the son of the son, how do you let the son of the minister?"
Li Yuan heard the words and was about to speak, but he heard a commotion outside the door, and then the door of the Hall of Eternal Life was slowly pushed open, only to see Chu Mofeng wearing that armor slowly walked in, as soon as he saw Chu Mofeng coming, Li Yuan lifted his spirits and said loudly: "Chu boy, you came just in time, Erlang came to ask Master Xing for his guilt, you two brothers have always been good friends, quickly persuade him." ”
"Your Majesty also knows that our two brothers have always been good friends, do you think I should go back and persuade him?" I saw Chu Mofeng slowly step forward, pull out the burning sky behind him, and then slammed a pestle towards the ground, uncovered the cover and said slowly: "Actually, Your Majesty, since before Jinyang raised the army, this day has been expected by the boy, but I didn't expect the second child to endure until today." ”
"You, you already knew that Erlang would be like this, so why didn't you stop him early? After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Yuan suddenly became annoyed and angry, and looked at Chu Mofeng coldly.
Who knew that Chu Mofeng didn't care at all, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please allow the minister to tell you a story...... and then Chu Mofeng concisely started from Gao Xi's suicide note, until Li Shimin was in distress a few days ago, and finally Chu Mofeng said slowly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister doesn't persuade the second child, but do you think that with the prince's various behaviors, he can establish the prosperous Tang Dynasty in our hearts?"
Chu Mofeng's words made Li Yuan fall into deep thought, yes, what are his sons like, can he not know? If it weren't for the experience of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan really wanted to make Li Shimin the crown prince regardless of the obstacles, but he didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't let the Tang Dynasty perish in just three generations like the Sui Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan slowly sat on the dragon chair, sighed and said: "In this case, I don't care about the two of you today's affairs, and step back first, and after I discuss with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military tomorrow, can I change Erlang to the crown prince?"
"Father, it's late, the last time you said that you wanted to make your son the crown prince, your son didn't refuse, but it was your father who broke your promise, just because that waste and King Qi pleaded in your ear, you broke your word. Li Shimin smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said in a daze: "Actually, at that time, Erchen also felt that it didn't matter, and then his father was ready to send Erchen to the Eastern Capital to guard, and Erchen also felt that it was nothing, and it was good to hide far away, who knew that those two wastes slandered you again, but you left Erchen in the capital, and since then, Erchen knew that if he and his son did not get rid of him, he would definitely not give up." ”
As soon as Li Shimin said this, Li Yuan was suddenly furious, and immediately pulled out the sword on the side and rushed towards Li Shimin, Li Shimin was about to draw his sword when he saw this, but he was held down by Chu Mofeng, and then Chu Mofeng blocked in front of Li Shimin, and when Li Shimin was stunned, Li Yuan's sword was already on Chu Mofeng's armor.
Seeing that Chu Mofeng was between the father and son, Li Yuan couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Why do you want to block the sword for this rebel? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you together?"
"Your Majesty, the minister and the king of Qin are not here today to stage a cannibalistic battle between father and son to force the palace to usurp the throne, if that is the case, the world will definitely be in chaos, and the people will be devastated by the war again, this is not what the minister and the king of Qin want to see. Seeing that the tip of the sword could not advance in the slightest on the armor, Chu Mofeng immediately smiled and said: "What the minister and the king of Qin yearn for is that the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no war in the border fortress, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty where the countries of the Western Regions come to the dynasty, so Your Majesty, the minister implores you to rest for the time being, and if you want to kill or kill in the future, the minister will listen to the court." ”
Hearing only a loud bang, Li Yuan threw the saber in his hand on the ground, and then, as if because of anger, his blood surged up for a while, and he only felt a dizziness on his head, and he stumbled and fell backwards under his feet. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly helped him up, and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon body." ”
Seeing this, Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, only to hear Chu Mofeng shouting outside the door: "Someone." Immediately, the people from the other side of the flower and Wang De entered the Hall of Eternal Life together, and when they saw Li Yuan falling in Chu Mofeng's arms, Wang De hurriedly trotted forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, don't scare the old slave." ”
I saw Chu Mofeng whispering: "Shuang'er, you and Xiu'er stay here, and later I still need to take Zhen'er and them to Xuanwu Gate with King Qin, remember, as long as it is not someone under me and King Qin, anyone who wants to approach His Majesty will be killed." ”
Shi Hanshuang nodded, and then saw Li Shimin beckoning his people in, and said to the eldest grandson Wuji, who came to inquire about it: "From this moment on, you will deploy the manpower here, and other things will be subject to the instructions of the eldest princess, there is a dock on the edge of the East China Sea Pool, and there are two dragon boats tied to it, you take someone to ask Your Majesty to move to the lake, each boat can carry about forty people, You row both boats to the center of the lake, and then send people to guard the Palace of Eternal Life and the dock." You must quickly send someone to inform Xuanling's side, and when the Zaifu arrive, escort them into the palace immediately, remember, without the order of me or King Xian, the emperor's imperial boat cannot land on the shore. When the Zaisukes came, they took them to the middle of the lake in another boat, and let them talk to the emperor on the boat. ”
Then the eldest grandson Wuji took out a yellow box inlaid with gold, Li Shimin saw this and handed it to Chu Mofeng, took out the jade seal of the three heavenly sons to inspect it, and handed it to Li Shimin to use the seal on the edict that had already been prepared, Li Shimin handed the edict to the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "Hurry up and urge Xuanling to go there." Then the two of them walked towards the Linhu Hall with some of their men.
At this time, it is already two o'clock, and the political hall where the prime ministers usually discuss politics is very lively at this moment. Xiao Yu, Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun, Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi and the six ministers of the imperial court sat in the center of the hall on the left and right, surrounded by a circle of dense Xuanjia guards, led by Pang Qingyun and Zhang Shigui, two murderous generals. Among the crowd, only Yu Wenshi and Yu Wenshi had gotten some rumors in advance and guessed a rough idea, so at this moment he looked calm and calm.
And the other four people still don't know what happened, Xiao Yu's face is full of anger, Chen Shuda raised his face and didn't look at the sergeants around him, Yang Gongren's face was pale and uneasy. Only Feng Lun took the teacup and tasted it carefully, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't mean to be anxious and confused, and there was no trace of Pei Lin in the crowd, which made the rest of the people a little surprised.
Just when everyone was thinking about it, I saw Fang Xuanling hurriedly walk in, handed the edict to everyone, and then gave a salute and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, by the king's order, please hand over the personal seal you carry......"
On the other hand, Li Jiancheng received a report from Zhang Jieyu's cronies, and then called Li Yuanji, as soon as they met, the two hurriedly got together, and were waiting to recruit Wei Zheng to come, but Li Jiancheng remembered that Wei Zheng was already sick and recuperating at home, and then ordered someone to call 'Mr.' to come, but was told that Mr. had disappeared the day before yesterday and had not returned.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanji said angrily: "Your Highness, my brother still thinks that things are not so simple. Just in case, you might as well summon Wanche back to the city. With him by your side, I'm still more sure!"
I saw Li Jiancheng wave his hand, "If you urgently summon him to Beijing at this moment, it's already too late, don't worry, I still have the Feng brothers." ”
We should immediately organize the armies of the two prefectures and prepare for battle," Li Yuanji was ruthless in his heart when he saw this, and immediately said to Jiancheng angrily, "Then he said that he was sick and could not go to the court, and he would see the situation clearly." ”
"By all means, if this is the case, wouldn't it prove to our father that we have ghosts in our hearts?" Li Jiancheng waved his hand when he heard this, "Let's leave for the palace immediately, and cry bitterly in front of our father, saying that Li Shimin made false accusations, and my father will definitely believe us at that time." ”
Li Yuanji nodded when he heard this, when it comes to the current level of trust, Li Yuan will still believe in the two of them, and then the two of them got up and prepared to rush to the palace.
Then Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rode towards the Taiji Palace, who knew that they walked to the Linhu Palace, which was about 100 zhang away from the Xuanwu Gate, and suddenly saw a horse carrying a longbow flashing out of the woods on the right side of the Xuanwu Gate, and this person was Li Shimin.
Seeing that Li Shimin appeared here, the two suddenly felt that the situation was abnormal, and decisively turned their horses' heads and galloped away.
Seeing this, Li Shimin called out loudly to the two of them, while chasing forward, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji dared to answer when they heard this, they just ran desperately towards the Xuanwu Gate, and on the way to run, Li Yuanji drew out a bow and arrow and prepared to shoot Li Shimin, who knew that when he panicked, three arrows in a row all missed, and Li Shimin took out an arrow, pulled the bowstring and loosened it, only to see that the arrow quickly submerged into Li Jiancheng's heart, and immediately shot Li Jiancheng under the horse.
Then Li Shimin didn't care about investigating, and then shot another arrow, right in Li Yuanji's shoulder, in addition to the pain, Li Yuanji also fell off the horse, who knew that Li Shimin's side only cared about archery, and the horse under the crotch charged hard, and actually lost control from the road into the forest, was tripped by the branch, and the horse's legs fell to the ground.
Li Shimin was dismounted by a huge force, and he was dizzy for a while, and he wanted to struggle to get up and pursue, but he was unable to move for a while when the pursuit was held down by the horse.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji, who fled in a hurry in the distance, turned back with a hideous face, picked up the longbow on the ground, and strangled Li Shimin's neck with the back of the bow.
Li Yuanji glanced at the immediate death of the soul, this person is Li Shimin's die-hard lieutenant Chi Jingde, seeing that Li Shimin was suppressed by Li Yuanji, Yu Chi Jingde immediately rushed up, and Li Yuanji saw this and hurriedly let go of the longbow, got up and ran forward, Yu Chi Jingde saw this and picked up the bow and arrow behind his back and chased forward, waiting to go behind Li Yuanji, Yu Chi Jingde immediately shot an arrow, the arrow flew to Li Yuanji's neck like a meteor, and then an arrow came out of Li Yuanji's Adam's apple.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered someone to move the horses that were pressed on his body, and then walked to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to check, after confirming that the two were dead, Li Shimin looked in the direction of Xuanwu Gate, only to see Chu Mofeng walking slowly over with the burning sky in his hand, the originally bright armor was already stained with blood, and the flowers on the other side behind him were all stained with blood on their masks and clothes.
At the same time that the two of them finished dealing with the Xuanwu Gate, the sound of horses' hooves outside the Xuanwu Gate sounded like a storm. The armies of the East Palace and the Qi Palace's Mansion had already attacked.
The East Palace is not far from the Xuanwu Gate, and from the guards who fled back, Feng Li, the general of the Yiwei chariot cavalry, and others learned of the death of Jiancheng, and everyone's faces immediately turned dead gray.
Feng Li sighed and said to Xue Wanche, who came after hearing the news: "Is it true that someone is alive to accept the favor of others, and if someone dies, they will flee!"
Xue Wanche nodded when he heard this, and then roared, "Avenge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Then he was about to gather everyone and rush towards the direction of Xuanwu Gate, but as soon as he went out, he was stopped by Wei Zheng, who rushed over, only to see Wei Zheng's eyes roll and whisper: "You can't let the people below know that the prince is killed, otherwise once the news leaks, someone will inevitably have strange thoughts." ”
Xue Wanche nodded when he heard this, gathered the soldiers together and said loudly: "Everyone, the King of Qin has launched a rebellion, let's go and save His Majesty and the crown prince now, and everyone will be rewarded in the future." Then the army rushed in the direction of Xuanwu Gate.
Seeing this, Wei Chi Jingde commanded the seventy cavalry around him to shoot a rain of arrows, Xue Wanche ordered the army to shoot back, and then waved the army to rush over, and then Wei Chi Jingde led the army to rush into the enemy formation and fight hard. Xie Shufang, the general of the East Palace, led hundreds of infantry to the Xuanwu Gate, and the six people of Changsun Wuji, Zhang Gongjin, Liu Shili, Gongsun Wuda, Dugu Yanyun, Du Junxuan and dozens of guards under Chang He resolutely resisted. Due to the small door, the soldiers of the two prefectures could not charge intensively at all, so Uncle Xie conveniently ordered the soldiers to retreat, and gathered a group of archers to shoot arrows at the gate, Zhang Gongjin and others hurriedly hid on both sides of the gate, and the arrows flew straight to the palace inside the gate.
At this time, Li Shimin sat on the chair in the east wing, listened coldly to the shouts outside, and then raised his head to look at Chu Mofeng and said: "I estimated that there are about two thousand people on the other side, and there are few of us at the moment, I hope you can get an idea of what to do next." ”
I saw Chu Mofeng slowly walk out of the palace, holding the burning sky and pushing away the oncoming arrows, he took out a dart from his arms and threw it into the air, only to see the dart fly into the air with a terrible cry, Xue Wanche, who was in charge of the impact, seemed to remember something terrifying, and immediately shouted: "Divide a part of the people to defend behind you, be careful that the other party still has an ambush." ”
At this time, outside the imperial city, a heavy sound of horses' hooves sounded, Xue Wanche looked from afar, only to see a big banner printed with the word extinguishing erected high, and immediately shouted in shock: "It is the Tiance Army under the command of King Xian." ”
Hearing the arrival of the Tiance Army, the soldiers had no courage to fight, at this moment Chu Mofeng sneered and whispered to Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin called Wei Chi Jingde to explain a few words, and after a while, Wei Chi Jingde walked over with the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
Looking at the brothers who had grown up in the first mother, who had already been in a different place at this moment, Li Shimin felt a little disgusting in his heart, Chu Mofeng saw this and came to the Xuanwu Gate with his head, and a swallow drilled into the clouds to the top of the Xuanwu Gate.
After Chu Mofeng left, Li Shimin said to Wei Chi Jingde: "Go to Your Majesty's side quickly to prevent the other party from holding Your Majesty hostage." Hearing this, Wei Chi Jingde took the order and left.
After seeing Li Yuan, Wei Chi Jingde first gave a salute, and then reported the situation outside, saying that the crown prince and the king of Qi led the troops to rebel, and the king of Qin was quelling the rebellion at the moment.
After listening to Wei Chi Jingde's words, Li Yuan didn't understand the truth, it must be that the second child and Chu Xiaozi had already controlled the situation, so they sent someone to tell themselves, and the hostages on the side saw this, and they already knew in their hearts that the overall situation had been decided, and immediately implored Li Yuan to appoint Li Shimin as the prince.
Here, Chu Mofeng stood alone at the highest point of the Xuanwu Gate carrying the heads of the two kings, and coldly looked at the people below and shouted: "Everyone below, listen, the prince and the king of Qi have been ambushed for rebellion, the head is here, and the rest of the people are unknown to the facts, if they put down their weapons at this moment, this king can guarantee that Rao Er and others will not die." ”
Seeing Chu Mofeng carrying the two heads, the people who were attacking couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and Wei Zheng was about to refute when he saw this, only to hear the deputy protector Xue Yun shouting: "Prince, the last general has failed to protect you, and the last general can't stand you." Then he knelt on the ground.
Xue Yun's words completely convinced everyone's hearts that Chu Mofeng's head was the crown prince and the king of Qi, and then they dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground, only to see Chu Mofeng jump down from the Xuanwu Gate, hand the head to Xue Yun, and then looked at Wei Zheng coldly and said: "The surname Wei, just now you want to open your mouth to refute me, and then let this group of unsuspecting soldiers continue to send them to death? I see that you are really ruthless, go to the prison and reflect on it." ”
Immediately, the Tiance Army stepped forward and began the work of collecting the prisoners, and Li Yuan also understood that the wood was already in the boat, so he immediately nodded and agreed with everyone's words.
On the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, the Tiance general Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Chu Mofeng, the king of Xian, led the army to launch a palace rebellion in the Xuanwu Gate, put the Wude Emperor under house arrest, and killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji, which is known as the "Xuanwumen Change" in history.
On the same day, Li Jiancheng's five sons, Li Chengdao, King of Anlu, Li Chengde, King of Hedong, Li Chengxun, King of Wu'an, Li Chengming, King of Runan, Li Chengyi, King of Julu, and Li Yuanji's five sons, Li Chengye of Liang, Li Chengluan, King of Yuyang, Li Chengyu, King of Pu'an, Li Chengyu, King of Jiangxia, and Li Chengdu, King of Yiyang, were all executed.
Wei Zheng, a subordinate of the crown prince, was imprisoned, and the right Xiao cavalry general Xue Wanche led the left and right guards of the East Palace, Feng Xu, the left Changlin general, Feng Li, the right Changlin general, and Xie Shufang, the chariot and cavalry general of the Qi Palace, fled, and Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, fell into the control of Li Shimin.
On the sixth day of the first month of June, Emperor Li Yuan of Wude condemned himself, saying, "I don't know anyone, which caused the heavens to warn me and the sun was too white, causing a tragic change in the palace gate, which made me feel like I was expressive!" On the same day, Emperor Wude issued an edict, announcing that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, would be appointed as the crown prince and promoted to the throne of the East Palace.
Standing outside the Taiji Hall at this moment, Li Shimin looked at the scene in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little excited and sad in his heart, excited that he finally got what he wanted, and sad that this road was bloody walking, and when he was secretly hesitating, he saw Chu Mofeng slowly step forward from behind, patted his shoulder and said: "Remember the agreement between you and me, if you don't create a prosperous Tang Dynasty, then I will be very disappointed." ”
"No, this prosperous Tang needs you and my brothers to create together, I hope you can continue to help me. Turning to look at the righteous brother beside him, Li Shimin bowed respectfully to Chu Mofeng, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, "How dare you disobey what you invite?" As soon as the words fell, the two of them immediately laughed......
As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, and watch Li Shimin reward him lavishly, and then watch Li Yuan amnesty the world, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
