Chapter 277: The eldest brother let the younger brother one last time

Li Xiuning sat and walked slowly towards the Taiji Palace, while Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were dressed as small soldiers, located on the left and right sides of Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning frowned slightly and said, "At such a critical juncture, why don't you see Wei Xuancheng?" ”

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's face changed greatly: "It's broken!" ”

Li Xiuning asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Three days ago, Ling Jing claimed that he had used the secret method to pickle a jar of vinegar celery, and invited Wei Zheng to taste it!" Li Jiancheng said with a gloomy face: "Since then, Wei Zheng has not been heard from, that Ling Jing has betrayed the palace!" ”

Li Yuanji pouted and said: "Ling Jing is Dou Jiande's confidant, if the second child puts Dou Jiande's death on your head, it will be strange if Ling Jing does not betray!" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "How can Dou Jiande's death have anything to do with me, I have repeatedly pleaded with Your Majesty for him, but Your Majesty will not allow it!" ”

Li Yuanji said: "The second child has no other skills, and his ability to reverse black and white is not small, Ling Jing must have betrayed you!" ”

Li Xiuning glared at Li Yuanji fiercely.

Li Yuanji's head shrank and he stopped talking.

Li Jiancheng said worriedly: "Although Wang Hui is said to be quite similar to this palace, Chang He is an old acquaintance with this palace, how can he escape his eyes?" ”

Li Xiuning shook his head and said: "Da Lang, you have to have confidence in Yue'er's disguise technique, when she made up her face in the palace, did you and Daddy find any clues?" ”

Li Jian was speechless when he was established, he really didn't notice Li Xiuning's abnormality at the beginning, and he really thought that Li Xiuning's deadline was approaching.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I'm not worried, Cen Wenwen's brother, Uncle Cen Wen is originally very similar to me, with a little makeup, I'm afraid Concubine Yang can't tell the truth from the fake, no, this matter is over, I must castrate Uncle Cen Wen!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji in surprise, he really didn't know what was going on in his head.

Looking at Li Jiancheng looking at himself, Li Yuanji hurriedly explained: "Big brother, you don't know, this Uncle Cen Wen looks too similar to me, if Concubine Yang recognizes the wrong person, wouldn't it be bad for my bloodline, no, I will definitely castrate him!" ”

Li Xiuning couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know what happened to Daddy!" ”

……

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, Wang Hui and Cen Wenyue dressed up as Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji respectively, and slowly walked towards the Xuanwu Gate with their personal guards.

Wang Hui was nervous for a while, but it was more natural to pretend to be Uncle Cen Wen of Li Yuanji.

The Xuanwu Gate slowly opened from the inside.

Chang He walked out of the door with a large group of forbidden soldiers.

Uncle Cen Wen reined in the horse's head, frowned and said, "Today's Xuanwu Gate guard should be Jing Junhong, why can't you see his figure?" What's going on here? Did my father change the rotation? ”

Chang He was a thief with a weak heart, and he didn't dare to face the eyes of "Li Jiancheng", bowed his head and hugged his fists and saluted: "The last general is in armor, and he can't give a full salute to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Wang Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's out of the way." Today's forbidden army, isn't General Junhong on duty? Why are you standing here? ”

Chang He said nervously: "Back to Your Highness, today's north gate, it is Lao Jing on duty, he stayed here last night, and he closed the team at this moment, and he went to eat for the lecture, and he should come back in a moment." The last general is on duty today, so here he is! Please ask His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness King Qi to show their waist cards.

Wang Hui nodded, took out a gold and bronze medal from his arms, and then asked, "Does Your Majesty have a morning class?" ”

Chang He's tone was a little distorted, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to have a morning class today, and half an hour ago, he has already ascended to the Liangyi Palace. The ministers came earlier than the two highnesses, and they should have already entered at this moment. ”｜

Uncle Cen Wen can confirm that the palace has already been as expected, and it has long been tired.

The two looked at each other in the air.

Wang Hui asked, "Which courtiers have already entered?" ”

Chang He's hands and feet couldn't help but tremble. Although he was ordered to break into the interior of the East Palace, he fell in love with Li Jiancheng for a long time, Li Jiancheng has always been good to him, and he can be regarded as a good favor, but now he sees that Li Jiancheng is about to die.

Chang He was very entangled in whether to tell Li Jiancheng and let him get out of this trap. As long as Li Jiancheng turns around and returns now, he will definitely have nothing to do.

However, remembering his oath of allegiance to Li Shimin at the beginning, Chang He only suppressed this thought.

Chang He bowed and said: "Pei Xiangguo, Xiao Xianggong, Feng Xianggong, Yang Xianggong, Chen Xianggong and Yuwen Xianggong have all entered, and those who have entered together are also in Zhongshu Province, and Yan Shigu, the Zhongshu Sheren who drafted the edict. His Majesty gave a special edict to the last general last night, and today, only in the Liangyi Palace, he received the crown prince and the prime ministers of the kings, and the other ministers were exempted from the Hajj. ”

Uncle Cen Wen said without pretending: "What about King Qin?" ”

Chang He replied: "His Royal Highness King Qin is just like the two highnesses, he came a moment earlier, he came alone, he didn't bring a guard, only the eldest grandson Langzhong, and an unknown seven-rank official by his side, they all went in at this moment, I'm afraid they haven't arrived at the Liangyi Palace." ”

Uncle Cen Wen finally showed a relaxed smile and led the horse into the Xuanwu Gate.

Wang Hui followed behind Uncle Cen Wen, and a group of guards also rushed in.

Chang He waved his hand.

The soldiers slowly closed the Xuanwu Gate.

……

Gao Shilian led a team of soldiers of the Qin Palace's guards to the gate of the death row of the Yeting Palace.

A jailer greeted him and said, "Stop! ”

Gao Shilian waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Qin Wangfu Protector behind him raised the bow and arrow in their hands.

The prison guards usually suppress the prisoners in the prison is okay, but in the street battles with the army, it is too bad, these jailers don't even have leather armor on their bodies, they are injured and killed when they shoot arrows, and they are injured when they touch the knife, but the light bows and inferior swords in their hands are slashed at the well-equipped soldiers of the Qin Wangfu Protectors, as if they are tickling them.

Although the guards of the Qin Palace's palace and the jailers of the Heavenly Prison were equal in number, the battle lasted only a quarter of an hour, and hundreds of jailers were either killed or thrown on their knees and surrendered.

Gao Shilian saw that the overall situation had been decided, and the guards of the Qin Wangfu successfully took the prison of the Yeting Palace.

Gao Shilian smiled: "Open the prison door and release all the prisoners." ”

A large number of soldiers from the Qin Wangfu Protectors rushed into the heavenly prison, and the cells were opened one by one with the cell boss.

The death row inmates poured out of their cells one after another, and were driven to the center of the city by the guards of the Qin Palace.

Gao Shilian stood on a high place, with a bird's-eye view of the prisoners.

Gao Shilian was born in the Northern Qi royal family Gao Clan, and was the grandson of Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He has been reading the Bible since he was a child. At this time, Li Shimin's troops were overstretched, and Gao Shilian naturally thought of the method of arming prisoners as an army.

Of course, this is not Gao Shilian's innovative invention, as early as the late period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu avoided his own mistakes for Prince Wei, and began to clean up the power of the Wei group, so as to avoid Wei from becoming a strong relative of the Han Dynasty like the Lu family and the Dou family.

It's a pity that Liu Ju didn't understand Liu Che's painstaking efforts, so he took risks and led his troops to rebel. This led to the most tragic bloodshed since the witch plague. Liu Ju did not have soldiers and horses at that time, so he relied on the prisoners in Chang'an County to arrive in prison, issued them with arms, and let them serve as soldiers. As a result, this was the same as the Lishan prisoners led by Zhang Han at the end of Qin, and the soldiers of the Han army under the command of Liu Quyak, the prime minister of Zuo, were defeated. If Liu Che hadn't come forward to order the Northern Han Army to dispatch, Liu Ju would not have been defeated.

Gao Shilian stood on the prison city and looked at the prisoners and said loudly: "I know that you people, either in the palace of the palace, are not honest, or you are not dedicated to serving errands, and you have committed a crime, so you were sent to the court to do hard labor. When you enter the court, you are so tired that you vomit blood, and you don't want to have it again in this life, and you will see the light of day again. Most of you probably don't know me, my name is Gao Shilian, and I am the uncle of Princess Qin, the prince of Anyang County in Yongzhou. Today, I was instructed by the King of Qin to lead the troops to calm the chaos. I have already ordered someone to open the arsenal of the palace, and one of you will pick up a piece of the guy who takes advantage of it, and follow the old man to the rebellion. As long as you are willing to work hard, as soon as today's incident is over, the old man will definitely tell the King of Qin, simply pardon you, and all of you will be admitted to the military and seek a career. If there is anyone who doesn't work hard, the old man doesn't need to tell His Highness, just cut it directly! ”

The condemned prisoners looked at each other, and soon scrambled to raise their hands and shouted: "I'll go!" I'll go! ”

Gao Shilian looked at this scene and was overjoyed.

In just half an hour, he received more than 3,000 prisoners.

Gao Shilian waved his hand, and dozens of big cars slowly entered.

These carts were loaded with a large number of blades and armor.

These prisoners were immediately distributed, wearing armor and armor, and pulling out horizontal knives, and everyone was ready to move, ready to follow Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to follow the dragon gong.

At this moment, the ground trembled slightly.

The sound of heavy footsteps sounded "knock knock ......".

Gao Shilian followed the prestige, only to see hundreds of hoplites wearing Mingguang armor and carrying Mo knives appear at the end of the long street, and these hoplites, like humanoid tanks, stepped forward.

Gao Shilian looked at the front of this group of humanoid tanks, and he was dressed in a bright red coat with a silver mask on his face, but looking at his figure, he didn't seem to look like a man.

A thought rose in his head, could it be Princess Pingyang?

Thinking of this, Gao Shilian couldn't help but be heartbroken.

Almost at the same time, the four alleys and eight lanes of the long street appeared one after another, and the sound of neat steps appeared one after another, and these sounds were uniform. A full one or two thousand men came with crossbow machines.

These archers had already opened their crossbows, and the frighteningly sharp arrows had already been embedded in the arrow slots, pointing straight at the prison city of the Yeting Palace, and a cold bloodthirsty aura swept through the city, shocking Gao Shilian and the Qin Wangfu Protectors, including these prisoners who were ready to make meritorious contributions and mix with the dragon's merits, their faces changed up and down.

The heroic female general on the horse slowly unveiled her mask, it was none other than Li Daozhen, Li Daozhen looked at the prisoners and said: "Put down the blade and go back to the cell, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Gao Shilian saw that it was not Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, seeing these prisoners put down their swords one after another and return to their cells by themselves, Gao Shilian sighed and sighed.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

The soldiers of the Modao Army under Chen Ying are famous all over the world, which is enough to reach a hundred.

Especially in the face of a rabble like the Qin Wangfu guards and these prisoners, it would be difficult to have any impact on them unless the physical strength of the soldiers of the Modao Army was exhausted.

Li Daozhen looked at Gao Shilian and said, "Gao Zhizhong, don't let me be rude!" ”

Gao Shilian smiled bitterly and slowly walked down from under the prison city.

……

A group of Xuanjia soldiers from the Qin Palace, escorting Li Yuan, who was wrapped in a quilt, walked slowly.

Li Yuan looked at the surrounding Qin Wangfu guards, and bitterly persuaded everyone to be loyal to him, the emperor, and defected. Li Yuan is both an official and a wish, but the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is the most loyal part of Li Shimin, and they don't listen to Li Yuan's words at all.

Li Yuan was angry and helpless.

At this time, a young general looked at Li Yuan and said with a disdainful smile: "Your Majesty, don't waste your saliva, you knew today, why bother in the first place!" The last general was originally a hereditary prince, His Majesty once had an edict, and the family of the last general was removed from the list and never used!

The smile on Li Yuan's face gradually disappeared, and he said coldly, "Are you?" ”

Liu Shuyi bowed and said: "The last general, Liu Shuyi, Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister, can't remember the son of the offending minister!" ”

Li Yuan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Although Liu Shuyi can't be remembered by Li Yuan, Liu Shuyi has grown up after six years, but he has a bit of his father's demeanor. Li Yuan still felt strange, he felt that he was so familiar.

At the beginning, when Pei Lin wrote a letter to impeach Liu Wenjing for rebellion, Li Yuan pushed the boat down the river, and without interrogation and no evidence, he killed Liu Wenjing on trumped-up charges.

Because, at that time, the Tang Dynasty could do without King Qin, but it could never do without Li Jiancheng.

If it weren't for Li Jiancheng reaching an agreement with the Hedong and Guanzhong clans, and the Hedong and Guanzhong clans would have contributed money and people to arm an army of 100,000, Datang would not have been able to overcome this hurdle.

Liu Wenjing used his protégé and former officials to build momentum for Li Shimin, and bewitched the imperial court to abolish the crown prince and replace it with the king of Qin, so at that time, Liu Wenjing had to die.

Li Yuan thought that Li Shimin actually used Liu Wenjing's son to spy on him, and suddenly layers of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he was terrified.

He was really afraid that Liu Shuyi would cut himself with a knife, and Li Shimin would kill Liu Shuyi to avenge himself.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Yuan calmly: "Your Majesty has never seen King Qin on the battlefield with your own eyes, and today you saw it?" ”

Li Yuan was protected by a group of armor warriors and slowly approached the observation deck of the Linhu Palace.

The cold wind blew, and Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble.

However, look down the observation deck.

At this time, "Li Jiancheng" and Li Yuanji in the distance were walking slowly along the Linhu Palace Road unguardedly.

The Protectorate around Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji was full of less than 200 people.

Li Yuan looked at this scene and roared heartbreakingly: "Da Lang, Shiro, run...... There is an ambush! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed when he heard this.

The distance was too far, and it was useless for Li Yuan to shout through his throat.

The eldest grandson Wuji asked Li Yuan to watch Li Shimin kill Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, just to attack his heart and make Li Yuan understand that Li Shimin is for the throne, since he can kill his brother and brother, it is not impossible to kill his father, only in this way will Li Yuan compromise.

……

In the Linhu Palace, the originally closed windows suddenly opened.

Li Shimin rode out slowly. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji continued to move forward as if they didn't feel the danger.

Li Shimin smiled: "Big brother, fourth brother, where are you going!" ”

Uncle Cen Wen pretended to be panicked and took off his bow and arrows.

Li Shimin rode towards Li Jiancheng.

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, and when Li Yuanji's arrow flew in front of him, he waved the longbow in his hand and flicked it casually. Arrows swirled past Li Shimin's ears.

Li Jiancheng was stunned and looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin bent his bow and aimed at Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin said: "Big brother, from childhood to adulthood, you have always let me, today, let my brother again." ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin raised his bow and arrow and slowly wound it.

At this time, Wang Hao hurriedly reached out and touched his face, and the sound of silk pulling sounded.

Wang Hui regained his face.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Hui and said, "Who are you?" ”

Uncle Cen Wen also regained his face.

Looking at this scene, Li Shimin shook his horse twice and almost fell.

PS: I'm very sorry, Lao Cheng broke his promise last night, and said that he had two more and nine thousand words, but there was only one change, there was no way, the management urged the draft, and Lao Cheng stayed up late tomorrow night to catch up with the script, and it was written at half past five this morning, and he couldn't hold on, so he lay on the table and slept for a while. Keep working on codewords today.
