The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Tiance Mansion.

Half a stick of incense has passed since Li Changqing left. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Qin Qiong were restless and walked around the hall anxiously.

The White Robe Army has Li Changqing as the commander-in-chief and Li Xiuning as the deputy commander-in-chief.

The two grew up together since childhood and supported each other in troubled times. Their relationship is extremely deep.

If they hadn't been worried about the incest between brother and sister, which would cause shock in the world and affect the reputation of the royal family, the two would have broken through the last layer of window paper and got together.

Li Jiancheng, knowing full well the relationship between Li Changqing and Li Xiuning, turned to Li Yuan and married Li Xiuning to Chai Shao. This move was too heartbreaking.

Cheng Yaojin and other old White Robe Army generals are most worried about the intensification of the conflict between Li Changqing and Li Jiancheng, triggering an irreconcilable conflict.

"Thump thump!"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a thin figure appeared at the door. It was Li Jing who had gone to the palace to inquire about news!

The three of them immediately turned their attention to the door and asked in unison:"Pharmacist, how is the situation in the palace?

Li Jing's face was filled with gloom and he said in a deep voice:"Everyone, something big has happened!" The prince and the King of Qi set up an ambush at Xuanwu Gate and ambushed the general with two thousand Changlin soldiers! I was outside the door, and all I heard was shouting from inside the door,"Kill Zhentian!""

"What!"

Everyone was shocked and their eyes burst into tears when they heard this!

Cheng Yaojin punched out and broke a pillar in the hall. They stared angrily and cursed:"How dare the prince do this!"

Yu Chigong directly picked up the horse and walked quickly outside the Tiance Mansion. He said angrily:"The general was ambushed. What are we waiting for here? Hurry up and rescue!"

Cheng Yaojin also picked up his weapon and walked out side by side with him.

Li Jing dodged and stopped in front of the two of them, saying:"Xuanwu Gate is heavily guarded. Once the gate is closed, it cannot be broken without an army of thirty thousand! If you and I go forward, we can't even enter the city gate, so how can we rescue the general?"

Cheng Yaojin screamed anxiously and scratched his head and ears.

"Then what do you say? You can't just stay in Tiance Mansion and do nothing!

Li Jing said:"I have a method that may save the general.""

Yu Chigong quickly grabbed Li Jing's arms and asked hurriedly:"What method?"

Li Jing said with an extremely solemn expression:"There are 80,000 white-robed troops stationed outside Chang'an City to protect the safety of Chang'an. I will go to the military camp as soon as possible, lead an army of 80,000, and storm Xuanwu Gate!

But such behavior is tantamount to conspiracy! If your Majesty pursues this case, both you and I will be killed! Cheng

Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Qin Qiong did not hesitate for a second, and said in unison:"If we can rescue the general, what if we die?""

The voices were loud and loud, and they all ignored life and death.

Suddenly, Qin Qiong seemed to have thought of something. His face was full of panic, and he frowned and asked:"Pharmacist, what you just said is that the general was trapped in Xuanwu Gate and was with the prince's guard Chang Lin. Soldiers fight.

I'm going to move reinforcements outside the city now, and the round trip will take at least a stick of incense. So long, General... General……"

When Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong heard this, their faces all darkened, and their expressions were very ugly.

Li Jing got on his horse, pulled the reins, and said:"The general is unstoppable, I hope he can hold on until we arrive!"

Looking at Li Jing's leaving figure, Cheng Yaojin and others quickly got on their mounts and rode with the last words. Leave the city as quickly as possible and rush to the White Robe Army camp

……

The residence of King Qin.

After listening to a soldier's report, Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his sword eyebrows raised, and ordered the general Duan Zhixuan who was waiting for orders:"The prince is so bold to ambush and kill General Tiance! Zhixuan, immediately summon the Xuanjia Army and follow me as quickly as possible. To Xuanwu Gate!"

"yes! King Qin!"

Duan Zhixuan accepted the order and walked down quickly.

At this time, Changsun Wuji, who was kneeling on Li Shimin's right hand side, suddenly stood up and reached out to stop Duan Zhixuan.

Li Shimin was confused and looked at Changsun Wuji in confusion and asked:" Auxiliary machine, what do you mean? Changsun Wuji chuckled and said,"

King Qin, the things you and I have been plotting against each other every day have finally turned around."

Li Shimin frowned and said,"How do you interpret the auxiliary machine's words?" Changsun Wuji said unhurriedly:"

As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit." Nowadays, the prince and general Tiance are at the peak of their power in the court.

In terms of status, the prince is the eldest son, you can't compete with him. In terms of merit, General Tiance defeated Yangsu and destroyed Wagang, and his achievements are outstanding. You are far inferior to him.

The Xuanwumen Incident is an excellent opportunity for us. As long as we operate it properly, we may be able to turn around."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's pupils suddenly shrank, he looked at Changsun Wuji with horror on his face, and murmured:

"The purpose of assisting me is to let me sit back and watch my sixth brother die!"

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard with one hand and said nothing, just nodded lightly.

Li Shimin's eyes kept flashing, and finally a look of determination appeared on his face, and he said:"I have a question, please ask the assistant to clarify it."

"King Qin, please speak"

"If the sixth brother dies, the position of the eldest brother as the prince will definitely be unstable. Why would he take the risk to ambush his sixth brother? Changsun

Wuji said:"Xuanwu Gate is an important place in the palace, and is guarded by the Nanya Army and the Beiya Imperial Army."

But now it was the prince's guard chief Lin Bing who ambushed and killed General Tiance at Xuanwu Gate.

If the Nanya Army and the Beiya Forbidden Army were secretly controlled by the prince, there would be no need to dispatch Changlin soldiers from the East Palace and just let the elites of the two armies ambush them.

It can be seen that the prince did not control the two armies. However, Jing Junhong of the Nanya army stationed at Xuanwu Gate and Lu Shiheng of the Beiya imperial army had already defected to the prince.

It is a serious crime to ambush and kill General Tiance. How could the Crown Prince and the King of Qi not know this!

Knowing it was a serious crime but still committing it shows that they were fully prepared!

Li Shimin hurriedly asked:"What are the preparations?""

Changsun Wuji slowly took a sip of tea, and then slowly uttered two words:"Forcing the palace.""

"Forced into the palace!"

Li Shimin's body suddenly froze, as if he had received an electric shock.

His originally rosy face instantly turned pale.

Changsun Wuji had already reached this point, how could he still not understand what Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were planning to do!

Just stand aside, Duan Zhixuan, who was sweating profusely, glanced at Changsun Wuji and continued:

"First, I went to His Majesty to marry Princess Pingyang to Chai Shao, lure General Tiance into the palace, and set an ambush at Xuanwu Gate, the only way to enter the palace.

When General Tiance died, the 80,000 white-robed troops outside the city were leaderless. Lin Bing, the commander of the Prince's Guards, forced him to the Taiji Palace and forced his Majesty to abdicate. At that time, King Qin, even if you have the Xuanjia Army, you will not be able to save the day.

There is a good counselor beside the prince! I don’t know whether it was Wei Zheng or Wang Gui who came up with this plan."

While he was speaking, Duan Zhixuan, who had received the signal from his eyes, held a horizontal knife and killed all the servants who were serving tremblingly at the side one by one.

They were about to die after hearing such a conversation.

Li Shimin seemed not to have seen Duan Zhixuan's massacre. Just like the servants, they just looked at Changsun Wuji with wide eyes and said in a trembling voice:

"Auxiliary machine, what you mean is... we will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, wait until the prince kills the sixth brother, then lead the Xuanjia army to annihilate the Changlin soldiers, and then force the Taiji Palace to force the father to abdicate!"
