At this time, the court meeting was held again in Chang'an City.

Sure enough, everything went as Gu Tianya guessed, and the officials of the aristocratic family were really making constant suggestions.

The so-called admonition is actually to achieve selfish desires. First, the officials took the lead and praised Li Shimin's great military achievements in Tiance Mansion. Then the conversation changed and they thought that rewards should be given.

There is only one way to say it, His Highness the King of Qin has worked hard and achieved great results, so he should be transferred back to the imperial capital of Chang'an to enjoy the rights in the court.

This seems to be an increase in power for Li Shimin, but in fact it is a reduction of power through overt promotion and covert reduction.

This plan was so straightforward that it could not deceive anyone with discerning eyes. Therefore, the Tiance Mansion launched a counterattack and refused to let the family's plan succeed.

Unfortunately, the aristocratic family has too much power in the court.

Or perhaps, Emperor Li Yuan 'seems' also felt threatened by his second son.

Therefore, I chose to accept the advice.

…

In the autumn of the seventh year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor issued an edict to reward the three armies. King Qin made great achievements and was granted the title of Super Three Dukes. He left Luoyang and returned to Chang'an.

People all over the city greet each other on the streets, the scenery is unique, and there are hidden nursery rhymes circulating.

However, only five days later, a concubine cried to the emperor, saying that King Qin was so domineering that he refused to worship the concubine when he saw her in the harem, made many teasing remarks, and behaved in a dissolute manner.

The emperor was furious and ordered him to stay and reflect on himself.

This technique of splashing dirty water was used by aristocratic families on Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. A few days later, during a night banquet at the Prince's Mansion, King Qin was poisoned and vomited blood and returned home urgently.

A few days later, officials reported that three thousand private soldiers were stationed in the palace of the King of Qin. This was an extraordinary move and the emperor should be vigilant.

The emperor was angry, scolded him, and cut off the palace guards, leaving only a thousand steps.

With all kinds of things like this, the aristocratic family's tricks are coming out frequently, just like the violent wind and waves, sweeping away one after another.

The generals of Tiance were very worried and had a feeling of imminent disaster.

It had only been half a month since we returned to Chang'an, and we were already struggling. The generals of the Heavenly Strategy were conferring with each other day by day, and the eldest grandson Wuji stood up with his sword drawn, roaring: "A man was born between heaven and earth. If I don't want to die, others will have to die."

Tiance's generals finally decided to fight back.

History seems to be repeating itself, and the trajectory of the Xuanwumen Incident has begun...

However, this was the seventh year of Wude, two years earlier than the actual historical time.

But few people know that the reason why such a huge change was brought forward was just because a young man wanted to calm down early and develop people's livelihood.

Gu Tianya didn't want to delay it any longer.

…

On this day, the Prince of Qin’s Mansion.

A group of scribes knelt on their knees, looking at Li Shimin with tears in their eyes, and kept pleading: "Your Highness, can you bear to watch us die?"

Li Shimin seemed to be unable to bear it, but his face was ashen and he said angrily: "You are forcing me to do this."

There was a roar.

Suddenly dozens of generals also knelt down on one knee.

Although they didn't say a word, everyone looked miserable.

Li Shimin roared angrily again and suddenly overturned the table.

But I heard Xu Shiji let out a long sigh and said in a desolate tone: "Your Highness, we have no retreat. We can die, there is no need to panic, but if the prince continues to act, I am afraid that your highness's life and fortune will also be destroyed."

Otherwise, we are not willing to see this kind of outcome."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, as if he had been persuaded by Xu Shiji. Suddenly he looked up at the sky, his eye circles were faintly red, he roared suddenly and said angrily: "Li Jiancheng, how dare you insult me ​​like this?"

Everyone in the audience was overjoyed and looked at each other frequently. Changsun Wuji took the opportunity to say: "Now that we still have the military power, if we take it off, we will be meat on the chopping block, so we should be ruthless."

The generals stood up suddenly, with cold eyes and said: "A man is born between heaven and earth. If I don't want to die, others will have to die. Your Highness, it's time to make up your mind."

Li Shimin took a deep breath again, and suddenly there was a fierce look in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Immediately send the message and order the Tiance Mansion army to approach Chang'an. They should be able to arrive in ten days. I am determined to arrive at that time

Rise up."

Unexpectedly, all the generals clasped their fists together and said urgently: "Your Highness, please do not use this order. The army of Tiance Mansion is already on the way."

Li Shimin was obviously startled and looked deeply at everyone. No one noticed that there was a flash of anger in his eyes.

But he concealed it very well, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, as if he was delighted and said: "Since the army is already on the way, it will probably arrive in the near future."

Changsun Wuji clasped his hands in his fists and confessed on behalf of everyone: "To prevent Your Highness from being soft-hearted, we made preparations half a month ago. To be honest, the army is in the mountains and forests outside Chang'an City."

"Which mountain and which forest?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed.

Changsun Wuji glanced at everyone, and then carefully replied: "There are also those in Qinling Mountains, Zhongnan Mountains, Lantian County, and in the hinterland of Lishan Mountain..."

Li Shimin slowly exhaled and said with deep meaning: "These four places were chosen with great care. They seem to be not far from where the soldiers and horses of the aristocratic family are stationed."

Everyone knelt down and confessed, saying without any hesitation: "To prevent Your Highness from being soft-hearted, we will overstep our bounds. After the great event is accomplished, we will allow Your Highness to accuse you. However, I can still do what I need to do. This time

The troops are arranged in formation, just about to capture all the soldiers and horses of the aristocratic family in one fell swoop."

Li Shimin slowly raised his head and looked upward. After a long time, he said: "You have prepared everything. How can I, the leader, be soft-hearted?"

Suddenly he lowered his head, looked at the officials of Tiance who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, I swear an oath."

All the civil and military officials in the audience bit their middle fingers, smeared blood on their faces, and loudly said: "I am willing to bear the infamy, otherwise I will die."

Li Shimin's eyes were cold and he said slowly: "Okay, I will die if I don't succeed."

…

Tiance's generals retired and left, everyone seemed impatient.

On this day, countless birds flew out of Chang'an and quietly rushed around to deliver military orders.

That night, Li Shimin stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the moonlight without saying a word for a long time, as if he wanted to look somewhere in the imperial city, or as if he was just admiring the beauty of the night.

The top floor of Taiji Hall, the highest point in the imperial city.

Li Yuan also put his hands behind his back, and the emperor was also looking up at the night sky. Suddenly he took a long breath and asked softly: "Is the time set?"

This question was asked without any clue, but someone behind him answered, but it turned out that all the core members of the Li royal family were there. Huainan King Li Shentong slowly said: "It's decided, tomorrow morning."

"Boss, are you ready?"

"Jian Jiancheng has already bathed and changed clothes, and happily welcomes his death."

"Oh, boss, boss..."

Li Yuan kept murmuring and suddenly burst into tears. He suddenly turned to look at everyone and said in a cold tone: "All of you, don't forget the boss in the future. All of you must remember that the Li family's

The future is bought at the cost of the boss’s life.”

All the royal family members present suddenly knelt down on one knee and saluted in unison in the direction of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

Suddenly, a young man walked out of the crowd, and it turned out to be King Li Yuanji of Qi, who had been kept out of the secrets. When he saw this young man walking up to Li Yuan and kneeling on his knees, for some reason his eyes burst into tears, and he cried: "Father,

I'm going to say goodbye. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to go on the road with my eldest brother."

Li Yuan tremblingly stretched out his hand and gently touched Li Yuanji's forehead. It was obvious that the emperor was crying, but his face was full of joy and said: "You have to thank your brother-in-law. It was he who woke you up. Although your ending is still the same."

Death, but death and death are different. In the past, you were a dog from a noble family. Now, you are a member of our Li family."

Li Yuanji kowtowed heavily and said, "I just hope that my brother-in-law can keep his word, and that he doesn't treat my son as a fool. He told me that he wants his descendants to enjoy wealth for five hundred years..."

Li Yuan kept stroking Li Yuanji's forehead and said warmly: "Don't worry, my father's eyes are not blind. I always see people very accurately. Your brother-in-law is by no means a cold-hearted person."

"That's good!"

Li Yuanji nodded slowly.

Suddenly this guy stood up from the ground, his body gradually bursting with strong fighting spirit.

He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, saying boldly: "I am the extravagant and lustful person, and I am domineering and domineering. Once someone wakes me up, I realize that I have been living in a state of confusion for the past eighteen years. Tomorrow morning, I am willing to fight for the future of the Li family, even if I am dead.

He died in the rebellious army, but he died well."

He laughed and left, and his figure gradually disappeared on the top floor of Tai Chi Hall. In the deep night, he heard his vow to die proudly, and shouted: "Brother-in-law told me, even if there are thousands of people, I will go to the fierce general. Tomorrow

In the morning, I want to kill five hundred people. If I can’t kill these people, I won’t die..."

More than a dozen core members of the Li family suddenly bowed down again, and both elders and common people saluted him to see him off.

There were tears in everyone's eyes, but their faces were full of joy.

The fierce tiger of the Li family is like a prodigal son turning back.

Although you will die in a blink of an eye, dying is different from death.

That relative who was born in Hebei, the whole family would like to thank him.

…

East Palace, Prince's Mansion.

Li Jiancheng slowly knelt down on the ground and paid homage with a solemn ceremony. Beside him was the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin. The Crown Princess also paid homage with a solemn ceremony and knelt on the ground with her husband.

Behind the two people were five children and two concubines, all of whom knelt down and worshiped with gratitude.
