A small group of knights rode on the street to announce the order to open the door, and the soldiers on night watch had not yet gone off duty.
The gates of each team had just been opened a crack, and the soldiers on the street corner were yawning and stretching, waiting for the arrival of their comrades who were changing shifts. After a hard night of duty, the sergeants on duty were extremely exhausted at this time.
This is the capital city after all, and these sergeants don't dare to cheat while on duty here. Otherwise, if something happens, they may end up with their heads on the ground.
The streets in the city are deserted and deserted with few pedestrians, seeming to foreshadow the grimness of what is about to happen next.
Early in the morning, Li Shimin's operation went very smoothly. He, Hou Junji, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Pugu Huai'en and other generals of Tiance Mansion set out from the Qin Palace with 300 horses.
With Qibi Heli's support, he successfully passed through the Xuanwu Gate.
Along the way, although they encountered two teams of patrol soldiers from the palace who stopped and questioned them, they were all shouted back by Li Shimin, who was wearing the robes of a prince. With Li Shimin's prestige, these little soldiers were not something that could be offended.
Although Li Shimin only dispatched 300 cavalry for this operation, these 300 cavalry were all his black armored cavalry, and they were also the most elite part of the black armored cavalry.
Each of these three hundred people can be counted as ten. If any one of them is taken alone and placed in an ordinary army, he can become a captain-level being.
It can be said that if there are no accidents in this operation, these 300 people will be enough. Moreover, if there are too many people, it will be inconvenient at this time, and the possibility of the plan being exposed will be greater.
As for Li Wonba, the reason why Li Shimin temporarily asked him to follow Li Guangbi and Eulji Mundeok instead of letting this humanoid nuclear weapon follow him was because of his own cautious considerations.
Although Li Yuanba does listen to his words the most, and his words are also the most effective for Li Yuanba. However, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who are going to take action this time are also Li Yuanba's brothers, and the blood connection is not so easy to break.
, if he puts Li Yuanba next to him and something happens again, he will have no place to cry.
After entering the Xuanwu Gate, the soldiers guarding the Xuanwu Gate turned a blind eye to Li Shimin. Since Zhi Huan Si Li had already helped him deal with Qibi Heli, these soldiers could naturally be replaced by a temporary group. Li Shimin
After years of fighting, he still couldn't even produce a team of men who were absolutely loyal to him.
"See you, Your Highness!" Zhi Huan Si Li and Qi Bi He Li saluted together when they saw Li Shimin arriving.
"No need to be polite, please get up quickly. Now that time is running out, I will make a long story short. I will leave the Xuanwu Gate to you. As soon as the Crown Prince and King Qi enter the door, you should immediately close the palace gate and isolate the East Palace from the guards of King Qi. What can you do?
Are you there?" Li Shimin took off his outer robe and put on a piece of armor that had been prepared before, and asked Zhi Wan Si Li and Qi Bi He Li.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness." Zhi Huan Si Li and Qi Bi He Li vowed together. They must do what Li Shimin said. If they can't do what Li Shimin said, there is no need for Li Shimin to punish them. They will also
They don't have a few days left to live. Ever since they got involved in this matter, they have no other option but to succeed.
"Okay, your task is to guard the Xuanwu Gate and not let anyone into the palace. Even if the soldiers from the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion come, you can just stay in seclusion and guard it tightly. Do not go out to fight to prevent the palace gate from being damaged!" Li Shimin
Explain again and again.
As long as Li Shimin can get rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the guards of the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion will naturally be leaderless and scattered. Therefore, they don't need to defeat these guards of the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion. They only need to block them from the Xuanwu Gate until everything
When things are over and the dust has settled.
…………………………………………
There was silence in the palace, but Li Shimin's heart became more and more nervous. After all, the step he had taken was really too big.
The King of Qi, Li Yuanji, accompanied Prince Li Jiancheng on horseback.
"Brother, for some reason, I always have some ominous premonitions today, as if something bad is going to happen." Li Yuanji reined in his horse and said with a gloomy expression.
Since last night, Li Yuanji's right eyelid has been twitching, making him so restless that he didn't have a good rest all night. Even the concubine he had just taken in was tormented by the anxious Li Yuanji.
all night.
"Get your energy together. Our father has summoned us to confront our second brother in court today. We must not let our guard down today!" Li Jiancheng said, thinking that Li Yuanji was in low spirits.
Today, they don't need to completely prove that Li Shimin has an affair with the harem, they just need to continue to deepen Li Yuan's suspicion. This will be enough to make Li Shimin unable to turn over.
To be honest, if we talk about being the emperor, Li Shimin is indeed more qualified than Li Jiancheng. If nothing else, in terms of ruthlessness, Li Jiancheng has been surpassed by Li Shimin by several blocks.
Until now, although Li Jiancheng has been continuously using various means to suppress Li Shimin to maintain the stability of his position as prince. However, Li Jiancheng has never thought about killing Li Shimin. The most he thinks about is waiting for him to ascend the throne.
, completely depriving Li Shimin of all rights and letting her become a wealthy prince.
However, Li Shimin, when he had no choice but to take cruel measures, did not blink at all. At this time, he had even prepared a dead end for Li Jiancheng. At this moment, the gap between the two people had already emerged.
Already.
Even in terms of ruthlessness, Li Jiancheng was far inferior to Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji had already made several plans to ambush Li Shimin before, but in the end they were all rejected by Li Jiancheng.
"Then why don't we mobilize a group of more guards from the mansion just in case." Li Yuanji said still worried.
"Third brother, I need to worry too much. This is my Li Tang Palace. The palace gate guards and palace guards are all my father's imperial guards. No matter how prestigious my second brother is, he has no ability to get involved. How could he possibly do this?
What happened!" Li Jiancheng said disapprovingly.
He never thought that Li Shimin would kill him and Li Yuanji, and that he would kill him and Li Yuanji inside the palace. Therefore, he never thought about what would happen today.
