Chapter 274: No matter whether you win or lose, life and death are not lost

Li Yuanji rode a fast horse and rushed towards the Qinglin like a gust of wind. As soon as the waiter left in the Yellow Gate, Li Yuanji entered Chen Ying's study.

Seeing Li Yuanji's panicked arrival, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji with an uneasy face and said, "Sanhu, what's wrong?" ”

Li Yuanji hurriedly said: "Zhang Jieyu sent the inner servant to send the news, the second brother is in front of His Majesty, falsely accusing our two brothers of defiling the court. ”

Li Jiancheng sneered: "This matter, although it is incredible, is not a big deal. The father is wise and wise, how can such a little trick be hidden from his old man? ”

Li Yuanji looked at Chen Ying with uneasy frowns.

Li Jiancheng smiled disapprenousively: "The previous time it was Qiao Gongshan and Er Wenhuan, and this time it is like this again, Erlang has been in the army for a long time, and this set of methods has been used skillfully!" It's a pity that there is no fool like Yang Wengan waiting to cushion him this time. The two armies are facing each other, and this kind of suspicious tactic can be effective. It's a pity that the court situation is different after all, and this method will not work if it is moved to Chang'an! ”

Li Yuanji said slowly: "Even so, I always feel that the situation is wrong. ”

Chen Ying glanced at Li Yuanjigao, after all, Li Jiancheng had not realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. On the surface, this is an ordinary false accusation, but it is actually very difficult for Li Shimin to confirm the charges of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. After all, what is fake is what is fake, and it can never be true.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji with some puzzlement.

Li Yuanji said indignantly: "The soldier is treacherous, and the treacherous person has changed!" You can't use accomplices to deceive a person!

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji in surprise.

Li Yuanji continued: "This is a sentence that Erlang said to me personally in Cijian that year. For the same enemy, a strategy that has already been used once must not be used again. Against the same enemy, using the tactics that have already been used is tantamount to putting your own head together and letting people cut it off."

Li Jiancheng lowered his head thoughtfully.

Li Yuanji said: "So it stands to reason that Yang Wen didn't hit the matter the year before last, and he framed this hand, so he should have abandoned it, how could it be that on the eve of my expedition, I inexplicably came again so suddenly?" ”

Li Jianchenghuo's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Yuanji like a scrutinizing and said, "You can consider this level, and it is not in vain that my father and I are kind to you." Erlang is right, and your concerns are reasonable, but in the final analysis, the battlefield is the battlefield, and the court is the court ......."

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to finish speaking, Chen Ying smiled and said: "Has Your Highness ever thought that if His Royal Highness King Qin set up an ambush in the palace and assassinated the crown prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi, then once he succeeded, to say something disrespectful, once the prince and the king of Qi encountered an accident, the dead would not be able to justify right and wrong!" ”

Li Jiancheng said dumbfounded: "No, Erlang would be so bold?" ”

Li Yuanji said: "The third brother-in-law is right, the second brother is confused, and there is nothing he dare not do!" ”

Li Jiancheng still didn't believe it.

Chen Ying explained: "Why don't Your Highness think about it, if it weren't for that, if there is a confrontation tomorrow and the truth will be revealed, will Your Majesty still tolerate the next King of Qin who destroys the reputation of the harem as a means?" ”

Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded.

He has no way to explain this, because once Li Yuan finds out that Li Shimin is falsely accused, he will definitely not let Li Shimin go, that is to say, it is okay to falsely accuse other crimes, this is Li Yuan's taboo, and it is also Li Yuan's rebellion.

Death at all touches.

Li Jiancheng's face became solemn.

The problem in front of Li Jiancheng is a choice, but he has no choice. Knowing that Xuanwu Gate has already had an ambush, if he goes to Taiji Palace again, he will definitely be caught by himself.

But if you don't go, then Li Shimin will be convicted of adultery between Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Concubine Yin De. This is a fundamentally unsolvable choice, no matter what choice Li Jiancheng makes, his first opportunity has been lost, and advancing and retreating is a dead end.

Time passed minute by minute, and Chen Ying paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. A maid brought tea to Li Jiancheng and Wei Ting, Wei Ting picked up the tea, and then slowly put it down.

Li Jiancheng walked to Chen Ying's side and said with a wry smile: "The completion has embarrassed the general!" ”

Chen Ying smiled awkwardly.

Li Jiancheng said: "There are some things that are really undesirable, and I also ask General Chen to stay out of the matter." ”

Chen Ying was slightly stunned, looked at Li Jiancheng in surprise and said, "Chen...... I thought it was ...... The crown prince wants to serve His Royal Highness.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Everyone has difficulties, and no one has a hard time, let's be considerate of each other." ”

Chen Ying said to Li Jiancheng with emotion: "His Royal Highness the Prince, since you say so, Chen Ying can't stand by and watch!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying strangely and said, "You ......"

Li Jiancheng is also very strange, his struggle with Li Shimin, now when the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, in this case, Chen Ying does not help each other, but he can get the greatest benefits.

In fact, what Chen Ying didn't want to see was that the throne of the Tang Dynasty was changed in this blood-stained way, and the entire Li Tang court would continue to be bloody and entangled in the future. Later, Li Shimin's sons still fought to the death, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke all died unjustly, and the Tang Dynasty also fell into greater turmoil.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Come on, please come over!" ”

After a short time, Li Xiuning came dressed all over his body, and suddenly saw Li Xiuning heroic and sassy, without any pathology, Li Jiancheng was taken aback.

"Sanniang, you!"

Li Xiuning waved his hand and said, "Da Lang, don't ask again, I'll explain to you when I have time in the future!" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly.

In fact, when Li Xiuning first started pretending to be sick, Li Xiuning simply wanted to use his illness to make Li Yuan feel compassion and let Chen Ying get out of the war for the heir. But I didn't expect that because of Li Xiuning's illness, Li Shimin completely forgot the existence of Li Xiuning.

Now, then, Li Xiuning has become a key weight that will affect the balance of war.

At this time, Li Xiuning was not only He Yue'er behind him, but also Li Daozhen in military uniform, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning coming in, and said slowly: "Sanniang, you are ......"

"Time is so tight that we don't have much time to waste!" Li Xiuning pointed to He Yue'er, He Yue'er understood, and hurriedly took a huge map and spread it out on the table.

He Yue'er explained to Li Jiancheng, Chen Ying, Wei Ting and others: "It was a very coincidental chance that the red lady (Yuwen Zhaoyi) in Yuanzhou sent a "human stick" to our house. ”

The human stick is a very cruel punishment, which cuts off the limbs, gouges out the eyes, cuts off the tongue, cuts off the limbs, and deafens the ears, leaving only the body.

Li Jiancheng couldn't help frowning, he wanted to ask who was so cruel, but He Yue'er continued: "This person is none other than Wang Shichong's puppet dynasty Shangshu Yuwen Rutong, although Yuwen Rutong is deaf, his tongue has been cut off, and his eyes have been gouged out, but he still has a mouth and can bite the pen to write, he brought us an amazing news, he claimed that his father's tomb was gouged open, and the map of Daxing Palace City and Taiji Palace left by his father Yu Wenkai was stolen. ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes suddenly fell on the map in He Yue'er's hand, and he was surprised to find that this was actually a map of Taiji Palace.

He Yue'er said with a smile: "There is more than one copy left by Yu Wenkai of Taiji Palace, this one is just a sketch when it was not built back then, and it is probably not much different from the map!" ”

Li Xiuning pointed to the map and said: "If Erlang wants to ambush in the palace, the Xuanwumen Square is too empty, although he has Chang He's internal response, but the palace guards are not a Chang He can be controlled, from ambush to launch, it is impossible not to alarm the palace!" ”

Chen Ying really didn't know much about the internal situation of Taiji Palace, after all, he was just a foreign minister, not as detailed as Li Xiuning and Li Jiancheng.

Li Xiuning continued: "If Erlang wants to set up an ambush, the only place is here!" ”

Chen Ying looked in the direction of Li Xiuning's finger and exclaimed, "Linhu Palace? ”

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "Yes, there is a general and two lieutenant generals in the Xuanwu Gate camp, Chang He can only control one-third of the troops, the only thing he can do is that in the middle of the night, when the Xuanwu Gate changes guards, let Erlang's ambush soldiers enter the Xuanwu Gate, but two hours later, at three o'clock, Chang He's department must change the guard, once the guard is changed, the ambush soldiers hiding in the Xuanwu Gate must be discovered...... The only place where Erlang can hide the ambush soldiers is in the Linhu Palace, the royal road on the west side of the Linhu Palace, where there is water on one side and the palace pavilion forest platform on the other, which is an excellent ambush location. ”

If Li Shimin was here, he would definitely be surprised, because Li Xiuning's speculation was the same as Li Shimin's arrangement.

In fact, it is very easy to deduce that the Linhu Hall is in the middle of the East Palace and the Taiji Palace, facing the Taiye Pool, which is the palace where Li Yuan takes refuge in the summer, enjoys the lotus flowers and fishes near the lake, and basically does not open it in winter, and no one will pay attention to it.

Li Xiuning judged that Li Shimin would definitely ambush the soldiers here, because although the Linhu Hall was only more than 600 steps long, more than 200 steps wide, and the area was about 120,000 square meters, although it was not large, it was not a problem to secretly hide 800 people in the Linhu Palace. (As an aside, Tang Taiji Palace is really big, with a width of 2,830.3 meters from east to west and a width of 1,492.1 meters from north to south, covering an area of 4,220,000 square meters, about 6,400 acres)

Li Xiuning said: "Early tomorrow morning, the prince will return to Chang'an first, and then find King Qi to enter the palace along the Xuanwu Gate, and in the East Palace, there should be people with a similar figure to Dalang!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"If there is the best, then there is a fish eye bastard!" Li Xiuning pointed to the road map and said: "Tomorrow, the fake prince and the fake King of Qi, according to the plan, will move forward the same way, and then, the prince and the king of Qi will be mixed into the palace guards, and they will enter the Taiji Palace from Chengtianmen first!" ”

Li Xiuning's plan is actually to try not to shed blood, and it is best not to die.

The idea is very naïve, though.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Is there another place that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't think of?" ”

"East Palace?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, it's the East Palace!" ”

"What's so hard about that!" Li Xiuning said with a smile: "Let He Yue'er enter the palace and tell Your Majesty that the limit of this palace is approaching, and I want to see Chengdao and Chengqian's nephew for the last time, and let the sons of King Qi and King Qin, as well as the sons of Dalang, come to Qinglin overnight!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's fine!" ”

Li Xiuning looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Da Lang, there is one thing you must promise me!" ”

"What?" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning suspiciously and asked.

Li Xiuning sighed and said, "It's not a disaster for his wife and children, this is the bottom line!" ”

……

In the imperial study of Taiji Palace, Pei Lin walked to the door of the imperial study, but heard the sound of objects being smashed inside.

The attendants at the door were all frightened and did not dare to speak.

Pei Lin walked into the imperial study.

Li Yuan held the sword in his hand and sat on the desk panting.

In the imperial study, the floor is full of messes.

Pei Lian: "Why should Your Majesty be angry?

Li Yuan threw the sword into the corner, then supported the desk with both hands, bowing his head and saying nothing.

After a long time, Li Yuan still told Pei Lin about Li Shimin's report on Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Concubine Yin De.

Pei Lin said with a shocked face: "What King Qin said is too unbelievable, and the old minister is really unbelievable. ”

Li Yuan gasped and said: "Whether this matter is true or not, as soon as you ask, you will know, if Erlang is untrustworthy, this son ...... I don't want it. ”

Pei Lin sighed and said: "Your Majesty, it is a matter of royal face, this matter should not be made of great fanfare, whether it is to deal with the crown prince or the king of Qin tomorrow, it cannot be in this name, tomorrow will ask for evidence, and the idle people should retreat." ”

Li Yuan's face tightened and he nodded heavily.

At this moment, Chen Qi, the middle attendant, ran into the imperial study and shouted in fear: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good......

Li Yuan looked at Chen Qi like a lightning, Chen Qi was stared at by Li Yuan's gaze, and said with a crying voice: "Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang!" ”

Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he said hurriedly: "What's wrong with Pingyang?" ”

Chen Qi choked up and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang sent her maid to enter the palace to ask to see Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess is approaching......

Li Yuan's head only felt a buzz, and he was instantly deaf, and stumbled to sit on the throne.

Pei Lin hurriedly said: "What's going on, didn't it get better the day before yesterday?" ”

"Slaves don't know!" Chen Qi pointed in the direction outside the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't know, Princess Pingyang's maid is waiting at the door!" ”

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Spread quickly!" ”

He Yue'er entered the imperial study after a quarter of an hour and bowed to Li Yuan.

At this time, He Yue'er's face was full of tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried.

Li Yuan stared at He Yue'er and said, "How is Sanniang?" ”

He Yue'er said pitifully: "Her Royal Highness the princess is approaching, her life is short, the only thing she can't rest assured about is Chengdao, Chengqian and other nephews, Her Royal Highness the princess wants Her Majesty to give permission, let her see some nephews and nieces again......"

Speaking of this, He Yue'er couldn't cry.

Li Yuan hurriedly walked to his desk, picked up the pen and hurriedly sketched a few times, and then handed it to He Yue'er and said, "Now you take my hand and go to the East Palace, the Qi Palace, the Qin Palace, and all the direct children of the palaces to go to the Qinglin to see the driver!" ”

He Yue'er was overjoyed, and then said: "Her Royal Highness the princess also hopes that Your Majesty can bury Her Royal Highness the princess with a military salute!" ”

Li Yuan said with a sad face: "I'm right!" ”

……

In the school field of the Qin Palace, the soldiers of the Qin Palace's guards were standing gloomily in the school field, and everyone did not light the torches, but they were all in armor, and the bows and crossbows were wound, and the cold light was shining.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde and others led the horses and waited in the courtyard.

Li Shimin rode his horse to the front of everyone, but found that the eldest grandson Wujian was wearing armor, also leading the horse, and stood at the end of the queue heroically.

Li Shimin was startled, dismounted and walked in front of the eldest grandson Wujian. He said in a deep voice: "Guanyin, this trip is unpredictable, you still stay in the house and take care of the children." ”

The eldest grandson shook his head, looked at Li Shimin with a firm gaze and smiled: "The concubines, like the princes, follow the king on the expedition, no matter whether they win or lose, life and death are not lost. ”

Li Shimin's Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he was trying to suppress the fierce and surging emotions in his chest, he didn't say anything, just secretly shook the hand of Changsun Luo, and then turned around and strode towards his own war horse, with a tall and resolute back.

At this moment, a yellow gate shouted at the gate of King Qin's mansion: "Princess Qin takes over!" ”

Li Shimin was taken aback.
