Chapter 272 Li Shimin: Do you want to kill the king or kill the father

"Chen Ying!" This name instantly appeared in Li Shimin's mind, as well as Chen Ying's indifferent smile.

Li Shimin swore that if he had the opportunity, he would very much like to smash Chen Ying's handsome face. Originally, Li Shimin was a rare young man in Chang'an City, handsome and dashing, and suave, but since Chen Ying appeared, he, the first handsome man in Chang'an, was no longer handsome, and could only be relegated to the second handsome. The point is that everyone in the world remembers the first, if you ask the world's highest peak, ninety percent of people know that it is Mount Everest, but if you want to ask the second peak, it is estimated that most people can't answer.

Because Chen Ying is more handsome than Li Shimin, this makes Li Shimin very dissatisfied in his heart. This is not the most aggrieved person, the most aggrieved thing is that he could have become the invincible marshal of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army soldiers believed in their hearts, and the military god in their hearts, but Chen Ying stole his limelight again.

Du Ruhan nodded and said, "Not bad, Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang is in poor health, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Your Majesty will definitely summon him to enter the Taiji Palace to observe the New Year." ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled disapprerovingly: "What about Chen Ying? As long as he dares to go and pack it up, can he really have three heads and six arms? ”

"Chen Ying naturally doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he is also a mortal fetus, it will hurt if he is injured, and he will die if his head falls off!" Du Yan said with a wry smile on his face: "Haven't you ever thought about why Kan Ling single-handedly surrendered the hundreds of thousands of chaotic troops of the Jianghuai Army? That's because Kan Ling has established an invincible image in the Jianghuai Army, and anyone knows that Kan Ling is Du Fuwei's righteous son, and he also knows that he is the first fierce general of the Jianghuai Army, as long as he appears, it means victory, and hostility to him means defeat! Therefore, there are hundreds of thousands of Jianghuai soldiers, but no one dares to aim at Kan Ling with a blade! ”

In the era of cold weapons, the general's personal charm and prestige were very strong, and the fact that not only Kan Ling could make the old troops put down their swords and surrender, but even the enemy could not raise the will to resist. For example, Xue Rengui, the general of Zuo Xiaowei in the later Tang Dynasty, made great achievements in his life, and created a great reputation for subduing Goguryeo and setting the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows. Even with the defeat of Dafeichuan, it still does not reduce his invincible prestige.

In the first year of Yongchun (682), Shan Yu inspected the school in Duhufu (ruling the northwest of present-day Inner Mongolia and Lingel), and the tribal official Ashde Yuanzhen defected to Ashina Gu Dulu, who claimed to be the Turkic Khan. Ashide Yuanzhen invaded Bingzhou (now Taiyuan, Shanxi) and Shan Yu to the north of the Duhufu, and invaded Yunzhou, and Xue Rengui was ordered to conquer.

Xue Rengui took off his helmet to meet them, and the Turks were shocked when they took a closer look, and they all dismounted and lined up to pay respects, and gradually fled. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation to pursue, defeated the Turkic army, killed tens of thousands of people, captured more than 20,000 people (one made 30,000), captured more than 30,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep, and won a great victory in Yunzhou.

When Du Yan said this, Cheng Zhijie was suddenly silent.

Don't look at kung fu, Cheng Zhijie is not weaker than Chen Ying, but Chen Ying is definitely a hundred times stronger than him, once the Qin Wangfu guards deal with Chen Ying, except for a few Li Shimin's diehards, I am afraid that most of the soldiers will not dare to raise their swords at Chen Ying.

Fang Xuanling continued: "King, have you forgotten that Princess Pingyang and General Chen are husband and wife, one is prosperous and the other is lost, as long as Princess Pingyang raises her arms, how many young and strong people in the entire Chang'an City will be loyal to Princess Pingyang?" ”

This is the historical legacy of the Tang Dynasty, when hundreds of thousands of women's army was disbanded and reorganized, most of the soldiers because of the Tang Dynasty, obtained the opportunity and qualification to settle down and live in Chang'an, these people are Li Xiuning's old department, they are all blades and armor in their hands, and they are familiar with the military drills, as long as Li Xiuning gives an order, Chang'an City does not dare to say, at least can pull up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Originally, Li Shimin's troops were at an absolute disadvantage, once Chen Ying and Li Xiuningjia entered this chaos. I'm afraid that Li Shimin has absolutely no chance of success.

Li Shimin mused: "If we don't take action on Chinese New Year's Eve, then we must find a suitable reason to let the crown prince and King Qi all enter the palace, and the palace cannot increase vigilance!" ”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "We must find a way to create a situation and let Your Majesty summon the crown prince Qi into the palace, and at the same time, we can't let Your Majesty increase your vigilance, strengthen the palace ban defense, and even let Your Majesty publicize this matter with great fanfare, otherwise there will be other branches, or even startle the snake." ”

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone looked at each other, and the hall was suddenly silent.

Du Yan smiled bitterly: "This incident is not easy to make!" ”

Du Ruhui looked at Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the custom, there will be an additional team of guard posts in the palace, so the guard will be more strict, and the time cannot be set on Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "That's true, as the so-called long night dreams are many, and later there will be changes!" ”

Li Shimin said: "Then it is set for tomorrow night, you have to think about it, how to create this incident!" ”

Everyone thought hard and meditated, and suddenly in the hall, they sighed again and again, and cried out for bitterness.

At this moment, Princess Qin's eldest grandson, Wujian, entered with the maids.

The crowd quickly shut their mouths and stopped talking.

The eldest grandson Wujian asked the maidservant girl to distribute chicken soup to the civil and military generals present.

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and the eldest grandson Wujian suddenly said: "All the princes are talented, and women can't reach them, but women have women's methods, and maybe they can be useful."

Everyone unanimously looked at the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson said lightly: "If you report to Your Majesty secretly, in order to seek the great treasure, the prince and the king of Qi together secretly have an affair with Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieshu, and there is a ...... Something to do! ”

When Fang Xuanling heard this, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he looked at his eldest grandson Wujian in fear.

The eldest grandson was fearless and smiled faintly.

At this time, the words of the eldest grandson are undoubtedly like pouring a basin of cold water into a boiling oil pot, and it boils instantly.

If Li Yuan heard the news, whether it was true or not, he would definitely summon Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to ask the palace for clarification, and at that time, Li Yuan would definitely not make a noise until the matter was clarified. Once Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were ordered to go to Taiji Palace, Xuanwu Gate was the place to pass, otherwise he would need to go around half of the palace city and walk for half an hour to enter the Taiji Palace from Chengtianmen.

Solving the cause of the incident of Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng entering the palace, Li Shimin no longer hesitated, he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji understood and hurriedly took out a box.

Li Shimin waved his hand at the eldest grandson Wuji, walked to the back of the case, looked around the audience and said loudly: "Princes, the war to destroy the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty is about to begin, and it is still too late to regret it." Those who are unwilling to follow me to bear the great sin of the Nine Clans, they can come out at this moment and show their hearts, as long as they don't denounce in exchange for Juelu, I, Li Shimin, will never be strong. ”

Wei Chi Jingde, who was standing in the front row, shouted in a rough voice: "What is this king? The brothers have followed the king for so many years, and can they share in the riches and riches, and go their separate ways in adversity? ”

Hou Junji turned to face the generals and said, "When Xue Renguo besieged the Gaojaw camp, did the King of Qin leave you and escape alone?"

Duan Zhixuan and the others responded loudly: "No! ”

Hou Junji continued: "Under the city of Luoyang, the army is running out of food, Dou Jiande's 200,000 army is approaching the tiger prison, has the King of Qin left you and escaped alone?" ”

Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong and others responded loudly: "No! ”

Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile: "Happy, this is the brother who fought on the battlefield!" ”

Hou Junji turned to face Li Shimin and said: "King, you have never left your brothers to escape alone on the battlefield outside the pass, brothers, naturally you will not abandon the king on the battlefield inside this pass!" ”

Li Shimin raised his left hand and swore: "The princes will not abandon me Li Shimin today, and after the matter is completed, the rich and noble will share it." The people present today are not martial arts, knighted as princes, and have no less than 500 households. ”

Everyone knelt down and shouted, "Long live King Qin!" ”

Li Shimin's face showed confidence and fortitude, he lifted the box fiercely, took out a talisman, and shouted: "Gao Shilian! ”

Gao Shilian came out and hugged his fists and said: "The minister is here!" ”

"The key to tomorrow night's operation is the Xuanwu Gate!" Li Shimin said with a sinister face: "You lead five hundred princes' troops to meet near Fanglin Gate, if you see that Xuanwu Gate is in danger, immediately reinforce, if the place is safe, then press the army and wait for the next order." ”

Gao Shilian said in a deep voice: "Minister, take the order!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan again: "Fang Xuanling, Duan Zhixuan!" ”

Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan were listed.

Li Shimin took out a few silk edicts that had already been written and handed them to Fang Xuanling. He shouted in a deep voice: "This is the document that authorizes you to take over the three provinces of the Southern Ya Ten Guards and the Inner Court, and it has been stamped with the seal of the Shangshu Province and the Twelve Wei Generals on the left and right. Headed by Xuan Ling, supplemented by Duan Zhixuan, he led five hundred royal palace guards, and three hundred Xuanjia pro-army, two watches tomorrow night, out of Yong'an Gate, at the latest on the third watch day, must be lifted from the guards of the three provinces of Suwei, cut off the inner court and political affairs, and the outside world, and control the Shangshu, Zhongshu, and the three provinces under the door Yinxin. Around the fifth watch tomorrow, the auxiliary ministers will gather in the political hall, and you must keep them no matter what, and at the same time you must not hurt them. This matter is of great importance to the imperial court and society, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. Therefore, all actions should be arranged by Xuan Ling, and everything no matter how big or small it is, must be consulted by him first, and then implemented. Do you understand? ”

Duan Zhixuan said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Zhang Liang, Lei Yongji!" ”

Zhang Liang and Lei Yongji were listed.

Li Shimin said: "You each lead three hundred palace guards to monitor the East Palace and Qi Mansion, if it does not move, you will not move, if it pours out of the nest to support Xuanwu Gate, you quickly report to General Chang He, and then immediately send troops to attack the palace, and you can't let the East Palace and Qi Mansion run away from a single henchman." ”

Hou Junji and Zhang Liang: "The last general takes orders!" ”

Li Shimin said: "Du Ruhui! ”

Du Ruhui came out and said: "The minister is here!" ”

Li Shimin said: "The battle tomorrow night is not only about the Tang Dynasty, the rise and fall of the society, and the luck of the temple, but also about the lives of my Li Shimin, the whole house, men, women and children, and the families of the generals." The Qin Wangfu is our old camp, and the old camp cannot afford to be lost. Your duty is to lead the 300 royal palace guards, protect the Xifu, protect the brothers' families, and my Li Shimin's wife and children. All matters in the palace are carried out by Du Ruhui, and no one shall violate them. Since I left the house, from the princess and prince, down to the soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, all of them have been controlled by Lord Du. Do you understand? ”

Du Ruhui arched his hand.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "There are too few troops, so they should be used at their discretion." ”

Du Ruhui said: "The minister should do his best!" ”

At this moment, a voice came from behind, this voice was full of anger, and said with a look of indignation: "The king looks down on me Hou Mo Chen Xu? ”

Li Shimin followed the voice, and saw Hou Mo and Chen Xu looking at Li Shimin angrily.

Although Hou Mo Chen Xu and Hou Mo Chen should be cousins, let alone cousins, even if they are brothers, they are their own masters, such as Duan Zhixuan and his brother Duan Zhigan, although they belong to the East Palace and the Qin Palace, Li Shimin still believes in Duan Zhixuan. Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Zhang Liang and Lei Yongji have fewer soldiers and horses, Du Ruhui handed over the three hundred Qin Wangfu guards to Zhang Liang, and the whole Qin Wangfu is up and down, I will entrust you Hou Mo Chen Xu, once the matter is completed, the title of Duke of Liang Guo will be you!" ”

Hou Mo Chen Xu was overjoyed and said: "There are eight hundred ministers and wolf soldiers here, unless they step on the corpse of the last general, no one will want to rush into the Qin Palace!" ”

Li Shimin continued: "The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, you follow me, tomorrow night before the palace gate is locked, enter the imperial city from the Xuanwu Gate, and in the future, whether the Qin Wangfu will go to Huangquan together, or share the wealth, it depends on our success or failure tomorrow night!" ”

……

Since Chen Ying taught Li Yuan mahjong, Li Yuan went directly to Chen Ying's ivory mahjong when he returned to the city, and in desperation, Chen Ying only had to let people carve dozens of mahjong with big fruit rosewood, this big fruit red sandalwood is the Huanghuali of later generations, Chen Ying has seen his boss's coffee table in later generations, it is said that a pair of Huanghuali coffee table, is actually worth a suite in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

When Feng Ang surrendered to Li Yuan, he sent people to transport a large amount of property, including dozens of precious southern pearls, jade, ivory, rubies, sapphires, etc., among which there were hundreds, almost two thousand large fruit red sandalwood, which were thrown in the Pawn Office and no one cared about them.

In fact, the time when Huanghuali really became popular was very late, about the middle and late Qing Dynasty, that is, the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, and then it became more and more expensive and unmarketable.

Chen Ying effortlessly got these two thousand pieces of red sandalwood from the pawn office, and he didn't think about what furniture he wanted to build at the beginning, and now he is just using it to carve mahjong.

The mahjong of the big fruit red sandalwood here has just been built, and Chen Shuda sent the steward to buy a pair with 4,000 yuan.

Pei Lin was even more ruthless, and directly bought four pairs of mahjong for 10,000 yuan.

Since then, mahjong has become a new game for the aristocratic class.

It's just that mahjong is easy to get started, and the imitation speed is particularly fast, and it only takes a few days to make mahjong made of bamboo, jade, and even bone and copper and tin alloy in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

On the night of the twenty-sixth day of the sixth month of Wude, Li Yuan pulled his old friend Pei Lone, Zhongshu Lang Yu Wenshi and Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun to play mahjong in the Wude Palace.

The key is that Li Yuan's luck is too good, either sixty-four, thirty-two, and the last is sixteen. Never play a lot.

Li Yuan touched three times in a row, and Feng Lun was about to be used as pants.

Feng Lun smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the palace gate is about to be locked, and the ministers will leave!" ”

Li Yuan's face was stiff and said: "Feng Qing, Pei San, don't go back, anyway, there is a place in the palace for you to live!" ”

Yu Wenhua said: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules! ”

"What rules!" Li Yuan said unhappily: "My words are the rules...... Play cards, play cards! ”

Pei Lin and Yu Wenhua are not only bitter smiles but also bitter smiles.

At this moment, a eunuch covered his head and hurriedly ran into the main hall, and before he could speak, Li Yuan scolded with his head and face: "What kind of system, are there any rules?" ”

The little eunuch didn't speak, and Li Yuan was slightly stunned.

At this time, behind the little eunuch, Li Shimin strode into the Wude Hall with a sword. Li Shimin's expression was angry, blue tendons appeared on his forehead, and his right hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

Li Yuan took two steps back, leaving a reaction distance for the left prison guard, and looked at Li Shimin coldly, Li Yuan forcibly suppressed and shouted in fear: "When you enter the palace, you neither salute nor kneel, you hold a sword in your hand, and you are murderous!" What do you want to do? Do you feel that your wings are stiff and your status is high, and your old father has become a stumbling block for you, and you want to move this stone away, to kill the king, to kill your father? ”

Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and Li Yuan said: "Daddy, as the saying goes, there are unfilial sons in the world, but there are no fathers who are not." If you want your son to die, how can your son disobey? This sword was given to me by your old man himself when I was crowned king, and now I have brought it, if you want to kill me, you should use this sword! ”
