078 Dream of the Early Tang Dynasty (9)
Lin Tingyu said again: "That's it, the time is set for these two days, it just so happens that the two of them stick together all day these days, saying that the two of them do that indecent thing, and the emperor has nothing to refute, what do you mean?" ”
Li Shimin pursed his lips, and then said firmly: "Okay, just according to what you say." Otherwise, if I continue to hesitate, not only will I not be able to protect myself, but I am afraid that I will not even be able to protect you. ”
Lin Tingyu nodded with a faint smile and said, "Don't worry." Do you remember what I said to you when you brought me to the Qin Palace? ”
Li Shimin naturally remembered that if it weren't for that purpose, he wouldn't have been so good to Feng Yutong all the time.
Lin Tingyu said with a smile: "I said, from now on, I will be your person, and I will plan everything for you, so that you can live a calm life and be rich forever." ”
Li Shimin smiled freely and said, "Yu Tong, as long as I can be with you in peace, I have nothing else to ask for." However, even such a small wish, the prince will not allow me to fulfill it, I am really helpless! ”
Lin Tingyu sighed in his heart, this Li Shimin is not only handsome and graceful, but this mouth is also very pleasing. No wonder Feng Yutong fell into the love network he weaved, and in the end, even his own life was trapped to death by this love network.
Lin Tingyu will not be stingy with his love words, all kinds of love words that he has seen in novels and TV series before have all been thrown towards Li Shimin, and after a while, Li Shimin was a little fluttering.
The two lingered for a long time before Lin Tingyu said goodbye. Li Shimin has already set up tomorrow's action, and Lin Tingyu has turned back to his Shaohua Academy. Wait until nightfall. She summoned Lu Ying and withdrew from the rest of the group......
An hour later, Lu Ying claimed that she had been ordered by Miss Feng Yutong to go to the Prince's East Palace. Left the Qin Palace. Although she was serving Feng Yutong's palace, the commander of the guards of the Qin Palace's palace knew that she was actually Li Shimin's cronies, so he did not stop her.
At this time, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was in the emperor's palace, reporting that the prince had built a harem of fornication with King Yuanji of Qi, and committed indecent acts. Although Emperor Li Yuan was suspicious of many crimes such as corrupting the royal atmosphere, there were rumors in the palace about Jiancheng and Yuanji. Thinking that the two of them were too close, this attracted slander, so the next day Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were bound to go to the court to explain the matter.
The next day, that is, the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude. Li Shimin led his troops to ambush at Xuanwu Gate. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who had not been in court for a few days, but had to go to court today because they received a call from the holy decree, rode their horses to the palace hall.
Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and others were inevitably nervous. As soon as something happens here, whether it succeeds or not, they all open their bows and have no turning back, and they must carry out the plan to seize the throne to the end.
Li Shimin tightened the bow and arrow in his hand, feeling that his palms were sweaty.
Seeing that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were gradually approaching the Xuanwu Gate in the distance, they suddenly saw that Li Yuanji seemed to have noticed something wrong, reined in the horse's head, and turned around to return. No more entering the palace.
When everyone saw this, they immediately knew that it was not good. Li Yuanji is usually very keen. Maybe he sensed that the situation was abnormal, so he turned his horse's head and planned to return the way he came.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! Third brother! Li Shimin saw the opportunity and hurriedly appeared from the hiding place and summoned them.
Li Yuanji saw that the situation was not good, and immediately drew arrows to build a bow, but he may have been too nervous because he had always been extremely brave, and he failed to pull the bow to the full extent three times, and failed to shoot the arrow.
Li Shimin had already shot an arrow, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng, who was originally riding a horse and wanted to enter the palace, saw that the arrow was coming, but he didn't dodge or dodge, and the arrow hit him in the chest. He swayed and fell off his horse, blood gushing from the corners of his mouth.
Li Shimin faintly felt that something was wrong, Li Jiancheng had fought countless killing fields, although it was a sudden change at this time, but Li Jiancheng couldn't be stunned and wait for death, even Li Yuanji knew that he had fallen off his horse and escaped, why didn't he even say that he would hide from the arrows?
Killing his brother and seizing the throne is a matter of common anger among people and gods, and Li Shimin risked the world's condemnation to do such a dangerous thing, and his heart was not in ordinary panic.
Although an arrow successfully hit the target, he still had no bottom in his heart, especially Li Jiancheng felt weird. In a panic, Li Shimin's war horse under his crotch was shocked, and Jin Lingling galloped wildly.
When Li Shimin was already flustered, the horse was even more unstable when he was startled, and he actually fell off the horse.
Coincidentally, Li Shimin fell not far from Li Yuanji. Then Li Yuanji should have known that there were many ambushes here, and it was impossible for him to escape at all, so he immediately rushed up and planned to strangle Li Shimin's neck with a bowstring, so as to coerce Li Shimin's ambushed soldiers and horses to let him go.
"Don't hurt my lord!" Suddenly, I heard a general not far away shouting, which frightened Li Yuanji's hand unsteadily, and he actually dropped the longbow in his hand to the ground.
Li Yuanji's face turned pale with fright, and he turned his head and fled. But the loud general had already galloped after him.
Li Yuanji was shocked and exclaimed: "I'm not ......"
Who knew that before a word could be spoken, the general's arrow had already galloped and hit him in the throat. Li Yuanji's face was full of unwillingness, he fell to the ground and died, his big eyes were wide open, and he could be described as a very miserable death.
Li Shimin saw that Li Yuanji was also dead, and his heart was a little settled, and he heard someone not far away almost groaning and whispering: "Shimin ......"
Li Shimin was shocked, this voice ......
He finally sensed that something was wrong, and quickly turned to look at Li Jiancheng, who had just been shot in the chest by him. saw that "Li Jiancheng" had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on his face.
"You are?" Li Shimin couldn't believe it and asked softly.
"It's me." "Li Jiancheng" said softly, a very familiar look was handed over, and Li Shimin immediately understood. Although he couldn't understand why this person did this, he still waved his hand to keep his men a little farther away, and he walked towards Li Jiancheng and approached him.
"You're not the crown prince." Li Shimin said, his eyes were extremely painful, and he seemed to have been extremely hurt.
His heart is really painful, he obviously already believes in Feng Yutong, and he has already moved his true feelings for Feng Yutong, and plans to achieve great things in the future, so he will take her well and grow old with her, but why did she do this? Built for the crown prince?
That's right, the one who fell to the ground now is Lin Tingyu, who used the transformation technique he had practiced for a long time to incarnate Li Jiancheng. Although she can't become Li Jiancheng 100%, just her face, height and other general aspects have become Li Jiancheng, which is enough to deceive the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Shimin, are you angry with me? I actually replaced the crown prince and came to Xuanwu Gate to seek death...... Lin Tingyu is now more out of breath than in in, and obviously he won't live long, but he still tried to speak.
Li Shimin said: "I don't understand. ”
Lin Tingyu said: "No matter what, once today is over, Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji are already dead people, if their people don't want to surrender to you, there will be no way to live." ”
Li Shimin said: "Where is Li Jiancheng?" After a pause, he suddenly woke up and said: "That Li Yuanji is also fake, it is the man in the Qi Palace's palace who looks very similar to Yuanji, no wonder, he can't even pull the bow." "And he is as timid as a mouse, not as vicious as a tiger like the real Li Yuanji.
Lin Tingyu said: "Don't blame me...... I thought about it for a long, long time......"
Li Shimin sneered: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, how to save the crown prince?" ”
"Fool!" Lin listened to the rain's call, his eyes were gentle, "I did this for you." You don't have to feel guilty about killing your brothers and siblings, and you don't have to worry about retribution in the future. And I don't owe anything to Li Jiancheng anymore......"
"Yu Tong ......" Hearing Feng Yutong say this, Li Shimin realized something, thought of something, and unconsciously became sad, only to know how sad it is for this woman who is determined to plan everything for herself to pass away.
"Don't be upset. I said that what I owe Li Jiancheng I will pay him back. ”
"You are so good, you should have been the emperor. There's no one better suited than you......"
"I ...... I have known it for a long time...... I knew it from the moment I first saw you......"
Li Shimin cried sadly and called: "Yu Tong ......" but because of the crying, the voice could only be stuck in his throat, and it was not real.
Lin Tingyu said: "I learned the secret art of transformation from the Western Regions, even if I die, I can maintain my transformation for an hour, you can ask the emperor to come to the autopsy, and order him to promulgate the news that the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji are dead, and make you the crown prince."
Built with Motoyoshi, they have been sent by me far, far away and will never come back. ”
"Yu Tong, are you already ......" Li Shimin wanted to ask, did Feng Yutong let Lu Ying turn out Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji? Because someone reported him last night, Feng Yutong had sent Lu Ying to the East Palace.
At that time, the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji Ke were both in the East Palace. With the characters of the two of them, it is impossible to risk the crime of bullying the king and let people pretend to be themselves to go to court. The only possibility is that these two people are dead.
He couldn't imagine that in fact, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had already traveled far away. When King Yuanji of Qi went to the outskirts of the city to find a famous hermit doctor, Li Jiancheng disguised himself as Li Yuanji's escort and flew away with Li Yuanji.
And Li Yuanji, who returned to the East Palace with the hermit famous doctor, was already the imposter who had just died.
The imposter and the prince, who was no longer there at all, were closed all day, and only the little chestnut came in and out to serve, so naturally no one could know that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had actually left.
Li Shimin could not believe that the two of them would give up their glory and wealth and go away.
As for the "Lu Ying" who left the Qin Palace's Mansion last night and went to the Prince's East Palace, it was Lin Tingyu who used the transformation technique to transform, and the real Lu Ying has now become a corpse in Shaohua Garden.
Lu Ying is absolutely loyal to Li Shimin, and it is natural for her to sacrifice her life for his great cause. (To be continued......)
