Late at night, Li Shimin sent someone to secretly bring Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong over.

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty. They were very talented in both strategy and talent, and they made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

The two of them are also members of the Li clan, and are Li Shimin's cousins ​​in terms of seniority. They are now in charge of tens of thousands of imperial guards in the royal city, and they are also some of Li Yuan's most trusted people.

If Li Shimin wants to ambush Li Changqing, he needs the help of these two people

……

Tai Chi Hall, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong arrived

"King of Qin."

Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at the two of them, and said,"Brothers are here, please take a seat quickly."

The two sat down, and Li Daozong asked:"His Royal Highness King Qin summoned us two people late at night. Why?"

In the past, Li Shimin had never summoned them so late or in such a hurry.

Li Shimin put down the ink-dropping pen in his hand and said,"Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just that I heard a very interesting story and wanted to talk to my two brothers. listen"

"There is a kind of bird, and its name is the dove. This bird is very cunning and always likes to lay its eggs in magpies' nests.

After the dove chick breaks out of its shell, it will push the eggs and chicks of the magpie around it out of the nest and kill it. It occupies the entire magpie nest and is fed by the mother bird.

I think this story is very interesting. What do the two brothers think?"

Li Xiaogong's eyes flickered and he said nothing, but Li Daozong raised his hands and said,"What does King Qin mean? Please make it clear.""

"Why do the two elder brothers pretend to be confused? Don't the elder brothers think that Li Changqing is like that dove bird?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, which made both of them tremble.

He then looked at the two of them sharply, and said coldly:"Now, the magpie's nest of Datang will soon be occupied by Li Changqing! The people in the world only know King Wu but not the Emperor. If things continue like this, who do the two brothers think will belong to the Tang Dynasty?"

"I have never heard what the King of Qin said. I say goodbye."

Li Xiaogong interrupted Li Shimin and was about to turn around and leave.

However, Li Shimin sneered and said:"Brother, don't forget that the blood of the Li family is flowing in your body!

Li Changqing is just the adopted son of my father, not a member of my Li clan. Do the two brothers really want to see me, Li Tang, give away my foundation?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiaogong stopped immediately, and Li Daozong lowered his head and remained silent.

After a long time, Li Daozong raised his head and looked at Li Shimin, and asked straight to the point:

"Your Highness, King Qin, what are you going to do? What should the two of me do?"

A smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, but the words he spoke made both of their hearts stop for half a beat.

"I will use the excuse of my father's serious illness to send Changqing to Chang'an. At that time, I hope that my two brothers will help me... to ambush Li Changqing!"

"Ambush and kill King Wu!"

Li Xiaogong took a breath and looked at Li Shimin with a shocked face, but saw that the latter's face was full of coldness and madness.

He wanted to say something else, but his hand was held and he said in a deep voice:"His Royal Highness King Qin You are right, King Wu is too powerful now, this country...can only belong to the Li family.

Li Xiaogong was shocked and speechless, but he also knew that when he heard Li Shimin's plan, he would be unable to get out.

Either die or cooperate!

In the end, the two chose to cooperate with Li Shimin!

Li Shimin bowed his hands to them and said:"My two brothers understand the great righteousness, and the people of the world should keep it in mind!"

……

After Li Shimin made the crazy decision to ambush Li Changqing, he took action the next day.

The first thing he did was to place Changsun Wuji under house arrest. He had already become suspicious of Changsun Wuji, so naturally he would not leave such a hidden danger outside.

This was just the first step. Then he blocked the news about the entire palace and Chang'an, and mobilized 300,000 troops to secretly station outside Chang'an.

At the same time, the imperial guards commanded by Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were allowed to take over the entire Chang'an to eliminate all hidden dangers.

After making all preparations, he just sent his confidants to Youzhou...

Please enter the urn

……

Forbidden City, Tiance Palace

"What? My father is seriously ill!"

Above the Tiance Hall, Li Changqing, who was presiding over the court meeting, suddenly changed his expression when he heard what the envoy from the King of Qin said below.

The envoy's lips were chapped and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he was tired of the world. He replied with difficulty:"King Wu, a few days ago Your Majesty occasionally felt cold. After the imperial doctor prescribed medicine, he thought he would be fine. Unexpectedly, your Majesty fell ill. The imperial doctor said that he would be fine in a few days.……"

He said no more.

Li Changqing still didn't understand what he meant, and felt infinitely sad.

He said angrily:"Didn't I ask Li Shimin to take good care of my father? That's how he took care of me!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is also very self-reproached. He waits in front of His Majesty's bed every day and asks the villain to send a message to King Wu. Please go back to see His Majesty for the last time. I will kill or behead him at your disposal afterwards!"

The messenger kowtowed heavily and said

"Nonsense! Father, the auspicious person and heavenly minister, how can something happen!"

Li Changqing waved his crown, and his anger surged into the sky. All the officials in the palace immediately prostrated themselves and cowered on the ground.

"I decided to rush to Chang'an quickly. Xuanling and Keming, you two are responsible for the military and political affairs of Youzhou Yiying! Fang

Xuanling and Du Ruhui stepped out with solemn expressions on their faces and said,"I will definitely live up to King Wu's orders!""

Among the officials, Li Xiuning's expression also changed drastically, his eyes were red, and he said anxiously:"I will go back to Chang'an with you!

Li Changqing said:"I will go first, Xiuning, take Taoist Master Sun on the road." Daochang Sun's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely be able to cure his father!"

Li Xiuning pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Sun Simiao is already old and cannot travel thousands of miles like Li Changqing.

After Li Changqing explained some things about Youzhou, he could no longer suppress his anxiety and led five hundred personal guards to rush to Chang'an. Go.

On the city wall, Fang Xuanling looked at the yellow sand rolled up when Li Chang led the dragon cavalry to leave, his face full of worry

"If His Majesty dies, the land of Kyushu may be at war again!

Du Ruhui also looked sad and sighed:"When your Majesty dies, the King of Qin must inherit the throne." The King of Qin was so talented and rough that he would never allow one country to have two masters, let alone share the country with King Wu. Fang

Xuanling took it seriously and said:"The day your Majesty dies is the day brothers break up their friendship." You and I are highly valued by King Wu, so start preparing for King Wu in advance."

Du Ruhui nodded solemnly._Fei
