Chapter 721: Poor Dagger
"Father, the next thing, it is inconvenient for the sons to be present, so I will retire first. Li Shimin said.
Li Yuan didn't speak, just waved his hand, obviously haggard.
Li Shimin stood up and tried his best to walk quietly.
Looking at Li Shimin's distant back, Wei Lianxiang in the shadow frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but at this moment, she couldn't leave Li Yuan's side to investigate the situation.
"Your Majesty, something seems wrong. Wei Lianxiang said softly.
Li Yuan suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I know, but the jade pendant is not fake. ”
When Wei Lianxiang heard this, she stopped talking.
Li Shimin's denunciation of Li Yuanji must not have a good heart. Wei Lianxiang knew this, and Li Yuan knew better.
But now it seems that Li Yuanji and Lin Xian'er are indeed true.
In this way, Li Yuanji has already fallen into death in advance.
............
Xuanwu Gate.
Li Shimin and Qin Mengyao came here, and the blood-clothed man was gone.
Chang He was not there, Xia Xueyi didn't rush over, and everything hadn't started yet.
Li Yuan had just sent someone to summon Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin was not in a hurry.
He had plenty of time to wait here.
Xuanwu Gate is not only a must to enter the palace, but also a must to leave the palace.
Soon, Li Shimin saw a personal eunuch beside Li Yuan, accompanied by several guards, holding a holy decree in his hand, wanting to leave the palace in a hurry.
"Grandpa Zhang stayed. Li Shimin took a step forward.
Zhang Danian is a slave of the Li family. After Li Tang established the country, Zhang Danian was ruthless and directly castrated himself and entered the palace.
With seniority and loyalty. Now Zhang Danian is also a figure among the eunuchs, and he is very trusted by Li Yuan.
That's why Li Yuan handed over the matter of the decree to him.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Qin, what did His Highness command?" After Zhang Danian saw Li Shimin, he hurriedly trotted a few steps to Li Shimin's side and asked respectfully.
"I don't dare to do it, I just want to remind Gonggong Zhang that His Royal Highness King Qi is now in the East Palace. It's not in the Qi Palace. Li Shimin chuckled.
Zhang Danian was stunned, and when Li Shimin reported to Li Yuan that Li Yuanji and Lin Xian'er had cheated on each other, only Wei Lianxiang was present. The others weren't there, so Zhang Danian didn't know what was going on.
Now that Li Shimin deliberately reminded him that Li Yuanji was in the East Palace, Zhang Danian reacted to the holy decree he received this time. It is very likely that it involves a feud between princes.
But it has nothing to do with me anyway. He just passed the word on his behalf, so Zhang Danian didn't care too much.
"Thank you His Royal Highness King Qin for reminding me, otherwise the old slave would really have to make an extra trip. Zhang Danian said.
"It's okay, it should be, my father is still waiting, and this king won't bother Grandpa Zhang. Li Shimin said.
Zhang Danian gave Li Shimin another salute, then turned around and walked towards the Wude Hall of the East Palace.
Li Yuan lives in the palace city "Taiji Palace". Its north gate is the Xuanwu Gate, and the center of it is the Taiji Palace. On both sides of the Taiji Palace, there are the "Ye Ting" where the concubine lives and the "East Palace" where the prince lives, the Ye Court is in the west, the prince ~ the palace is in the east, and the East Palace is also known as the "Wude Palace".
From the East Palace to the Xuanwu Gate, it is actually a very close distance.
As Zhang Danian's figure gradually disappeared, Li Shimin saw that the men and horses of the Golden Snake Battalion gradually took over the defense of Xuanwu Gate, and the generals of the Qin Wangfu gradually came to Xuanwu Gate.
At this moment, Xuanwumen has completely fallen into Li Shimin's control.
Silent.
To be able to do this, obviously, the strength of the Qin Wangfu will exceed many people's expectations.
The sergeant dressed as the commander of the Golden Snake Battalion saluted Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness, Chang He promised to hand over the defense of Xuanwu Gate to us, but he said that he must confirm the safety of his family. Because you didn't order the killing, Commander Xia is taking Chang He to see his family at the moment. ”
Li Shimin nodded, unimpressed.
Chang He was afraid that he also saw his own thoughts, but he didn't want to or dare to participate in this matter, so he simply withdrew from the matter.
In this way, Li Shimin is not a person who loves to kill, Chang He is not of any faction, and he is a neutral position in the DPRK and China.
"Take your own positions and wait for the crown prince and the king of Qi to pass through the Xuanwu Gate. Li Shimin commanded.
Those who can stand here are the elite of the elite. With Li Shimin's order, the surrounding area of Xuanwu Gate was already surrounded by water.
Li Shimin, Qin Mengyao, and the eldest grandson Wuji and other generals of the Qin Palace, waited quietly on the city tower.
Half an hour later, Qin Mengyao said to Li Shimin: "It's here." ”
Li Shimin and the others stared at each other, and after a while, they saw several figures coming from afar.
When they all entered the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin saw Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji walking in the forefront at a glance.
Li Shimin raised his right hand, and the soldiers of the Golden Snake Battalion understood, and the gate of Xuanwu Gate slowly closed.
Li Jiancheng and the others were trapped within the city wall below, unable to advance or retreat.
Li Jiancheng noticed the abnormality, frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Danian beside him: "Grandpa Zhang, why did the Xuanwu Gate suddenly close?"
Zhang Danian looked dazed and said, "The old slave doesn't know, Your Majesty has never given such an order." ”
At this moment, Li Yuanji raised his right hand, pointed to Li Shimin and the others on the city tower, and said to Li Jiancheng: "Big brother, you see, it is the King of Qin and the people of the Qin Palace. ”
Li Yuanji has been brave and martial arts since he was a child, and he is the first master among the Li family brothers, and in the entire Li family, his martial arts can also rank in the top ten, and his eyesight is naturally very comparable.
He glanced around, and almost instantly saw Li Shimin standing on the wall of Xuanwu Gate.
In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to dodge.
Li Jiancheng naturally also saw Li Shimin and the others, his face changed slightly, and then he said loudly: "Second brother, what are you going to do?"
At the same time, he whispered to Li Yuanji: "Things are wrong, protect yourself." ”
This time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji did not bring many people, except for Zhang Danian and a few guards brought by Zhang Danian, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also only brought one person each.
After all, the East Palace is also in the Imperial Palace, and it is not far from the East Palace to the Taiji Palace.
They don't need much defense.
But today, this may be their way to death.
Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "Big brother, my father ordered me to kill the two of you on the spot." ”
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's faces changed greatly at the same time, and Li Yuanji said angrily: "Li Shimin, you want to rebel?"
At this time, Li Yuanji even called Li Shimin's name, obviously angry to a certain extent in his heart.
Li Shimin's face turned cold, and he said, "It's not me who rebelled, it's you." Li Yuanji, what you have done, you know best in your own heart. ”
Brothers are on the wall, and the picture is poor. (To be continued......)
