The Storm Rises

In Chengqian Hall, Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji were having a banquet. After hearing such news, they stopped having fun.

"Brother, there's something wrong with this." Li Yuanji threw the wine glass in his hand on the table, "What kind of immortal descended to earth? When my mother and sister went there, I was by your side. There must be fraud in this. There is no way.

It must be a trick over there."

Li Jiancheng also put down his wine glass, "Sanhu (Li Yuanji's nickname), this matter is indeed strange, but it is definitely not your second brother's trick. Our mother and sister are the closest people to our brothers. If the second brother starts from here, he will

He has lost his mind."

"Brother, please be careful. I will go into the palace to find out the news from the Second Concubine Yin and Zhang." Li Yuanji stood up and left, but was stopped by Li Jiancheng.

"Sanhu, don't be impatient. Father is very smart. Since the wind has been released, it means that everything is under Father's control." Li Jiancheng picked up the wine glass that he had put down and said to Li Yuanji, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, Father

You will know how to tell the difference, you and I just need to wait quietly. If it is true, you and I will go to say hello, and we may not be able to get a touch of fairy spirit. If it is false, it seems inappropriate for you and me to be so eager, and it is inevitable that we will

Leave the second son with a mouth to criticize."

"Brother, are you just sitting here? If you listened to me and got rid of the scourge of the second brother early, why would there be so much trouble?" Li Yuanji returned to the desk and said angrily.

"Shut up, the second brother and you and I are brothers from the same mother, so don't talk nonsense." Li Jiancheng scolded.

"Hey, brother, brother, King Qin has great achievements, but has he ever seen you and me as brothers? Brother, don't you know the temptation of that great position? On the way to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, what kind of family ties are there? The son kills the father.

Are there not many cases of brothers killing brothers and killing each other?" Li Yuanji said.

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Sanhu, you are drunk."

"Brother, strike first to gain strength, and strike later to suffer disaster. The second brother has grown in size over the years and has countless elite soldiers and generals. Apart from the second brother, even if you ascend to Dabao, will you be safe?" Li Yuanji continued to shout,

"Even if the second brother is willing to be a good king, what about the arrogant and powerful generals under the second brother? Who wouldn't be jealous of the power of the dragon?"

Li Jiancheng drank a glass of wine silently and said to Li Yuanji, "I am the prince, and the prince is also a king. The King of Qin is a minister, and there is a difference between king and minister. He has many smart people under his command. I can't see this clearly. In terms of justice,

As long as I am still the king, if my ministers are in trouble, their personal ethics will definitely suffer."

"Righteousness is nothing." Li Yuanji said, "Brother, are you stupid in studying? When can you rely on great righteousness to intimidate those people in Tiance Mansion?"

"It's useless to talk more, Sanhu. What you said today will reach my ears. Don't mention it to others." Li Jiancheng said, "In the current situation, most of the soldiers and generals on the old guard have been transferred. Luoyang

Qu Tutong and Zhang Liang have been prosecuted, and they can hardly cause any trouble even if they have the title of general."

"The important ministers in the court only obey the will of my father. As long as my father does not replace me as the prince, the rightful title will be in my hands. Now you and I still have Xue Wanche, Feng Li and others in Chang'an, plus three

Thousands of elite soldiers of the Changlin Guards, not to mention having peace of mind, are as stable as a mountain."

Li Jiancheng paused and said leisurely, "The advantage is mine, don't cause too many troubles."

Li Yuanji wanted to say something else, but Li Jiancheng waved his hand to stop him, "Wei Xianma said that he has won over Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate. Later, you can pay a visit in person. Don't lose etiquette."

Li Yuanji looked unhappy and turned to leave.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji's back, picked up the wine glass, and showed a playful smile, "Fourth brother, do you really think that my brother doesn't know what you are thinking?"

In Prince Qin's Mansion, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Gong, and Hou Junji were anxiously watching Li Shimin, who was calmly teasing his daughter Li Lizhi in his arms.

"Your Highness, if it is really Empress Mu and Princess Ping Yangzhao, Your Highness should enter the palace as soon as possible. The princess and Your Highness have always been close to each other and must not lose their etiquette." Hou Junji said to Li Shimin, "If the princess is on His Highness's side, for

It should be of great help to His Highness in his current predicament."

"Why are you so anxious? We don't know yet. If it's fake, wouldn't it be a big joke?" Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "Maybe it's the prince's calculation. My opinion is to see the prince's movements. Now

In the city of Chang'an, our strength is empty. If the prince enters the palace, we will follow him closely and will not be the leader."

Then he saw a beautiful woman dressed in palace clothes come in from the door and shouted to Li Lizhi, "Your father and uncles are discussing important matters, so please don't make trouble here."

But she was Li Shimin's first wife, the eldest grandson who became a model queen in history.

Li Lizhi curled her lips and looked unhappy.

"It's okay. We'll discuss it later when the landlord comes." Li Shimin smiled and said, his voice giving off a gentle and firm feeling, "Li Zhi doesn't cry or make trouble, so there's no harm in staying here."

"You should stop pampering her. It's better for the girl to stay in the back house." Changsun Wugou said, "Be beautiful, be obedient, and go with your mother."

While they were talking, Fang Xuanling walked straight in from the door and bowed to Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wugao, "I have met the King of Qin and the princess."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Fang Gong, why do you need to be so polite? Today's affairs still need to be planned by Fang Gong."

Changsun Wuji smiled and greeted Fang Xuanling, took Li Lizhi and walked towards the back house.

Everyone watched the Changsun family leave, and then looked solemn before Changsun Wuji said, "Fanggong, what do you think about Queen Mu and Princess Pingyangzhao?"

Fang Xuanling asked Xu to think for a moment and said, "I have also heard about this matter, but the talk of gods is illusory and I am afraid there is fraud in it."

Li Shimin nodded, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said, "Fang Gong agrees with what I am thinking, but now we can't just be passive and passive. Only by taking the initiative can we seek changes and revitalize the chess game."

"You have to make a move, but you have to plan before you move. In my opinion, the first thing now is to confirm the identity of the nobles in the palace. Only when the identity is confirmed, can we make a good plan." Fang Xuanling said, "Prince Qin

Don't be anxious, if it is really Empress Mu and Princess Ping Yangzhao, I think Your Highness the Crown Prince, we should still be anxious at this time."

"If it's not my mother-in-law and my sister who are pretending to be thieves, I will go to Qiongbiluohuan to find the person behind the scenes, and I will kill him to pieces and cut him into pieces to put an end to this cause and effect." Li Shimin said bitterly,

"Teasing the living with the dead shows no regard for the laws of nature and human ethics. He really deserves to be killed."

"How to determine the identity of the people in the palace?" Hou Junji asked, "No matter who comes forward at this time, it is somewhat inappropriate."

Li Shimin suddenly laughed and said, "Ask Guanyin Maid to go and take Li Zhi with her. My father often said that Li Zhi looks exactly like my sister when she was young, but she went in to inquire about it in the name of paying her respects."

Fang Xuanling frowned, "No, the Princess of Qin represents the King of Qin to a certain extent. There is no difference between the Princess's appearance and the King of Qin's appearance in the eyes of the saint and the prince."

"Then what do you say, my Mr. Fang Da?" Yu Chigong, who had been silent for the whole time, said, "It doesn't matter if I go, it doesn't matter if I don't go. It's really disadvantageous."

"Wait, the saint should be more anxious about this matter than the prince and King Qin, waiting for a conclusion." Changsun Wuji said, "Once the identity of the saint is confirmed, we will enter the palace as soon as possible."

"This is a great thing to say." Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji exchanged a look, "We have to wait, and Donggong is waiting too. In fact, no matter what the outcome is, as long as Donggong doesn't get ahead of us."

"Then I'll just wait a moment." Li Shimin sighed, "I hope it's true. Grandma, sister, the people of the world miss you too."
