Chapter 414: The Eve of the Xuanwumen Incident (Continued)

On the fourth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Wude, Li Errang had already bribed the Xuanwu Gate guards and opened the Xuanwu Gate Gate.

Xuanwu Gate is not only a palace gate, but there is a urn city inside. Xuanwu Gate's urn is not an outer urn city, but an inner urn city, and there are three levels. This is like a multi-level sluice gate. Once there is a policeman, the palace gate can be closed immediately. The enemy even breaks through the first gate, and there are two gates behind it. The three small urn city forms a solid defense, and it is also the best ambush position.

At this time, the imperial guards of the three guards of the left and right guards were guarding the three levels of urn gates, and the officials of the left and right guards were supervised, and they jointly controlled the palace gate talismans and keys.

What Li Yuan and the others never expected was that the generals here had already been bribed by Li Er.

Li Er led Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Gong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Wenshiji, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Qu Tutong and others to enter Xuanwu Gate.

The Changsun, who usually does not show up, unexpectedly appeared at Xuanwu Gate, distributing weapons and armor secretly transported into the palace to the soldiers, and calmly encouraging the soldiers. When the soldiers saw a princess personally participate in the coup, the soldiers were all grateful for the Qin princess' personal encouragement, so they worked harder and fearlessly.

When the Qin King's confidant general, 800 soldiers set up an ambush, they waited for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to come to court and pass here, and they were about to start an operation to kill the prince and destroy the King of Qi.

Li Yu stood in the void and watched Changsun deliver weapons there, and kept promising to reward them for their wealth and glory afterwards. He couldn't help but sigh in her bewitching ability.

At this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the Eastern Palace were discussing urgent matters because they had just heard from the second concubine.

Li Yuanji took Li Jiancheng's wine, drank it all, and said angrily: "The father summoned several important officials in the court, including several prime ministers, and asked us whether we had an affair with Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei."

"It seems that my second brother is really sick and seeking medical treatment this time!" Li Jiancheng smiled coldly and said, "Who are our brothers? There are so many beautiful women in the world. Will you have an affair with your father's concubines?"

Li Yuanji kept looking at him, suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, you really don't have anything to do with Zhang Jieyu and the others, right?"

"You bastard! Zhang Jieyu and the others are the concubines of their father. Although they have sent someone to show kindness to me, they just want to find a backer for the future and find a way out for them in the future. What's more, I haven't seen her a few times, so how could there be any personal affair?" Li Jiancheng scolded him very annoyedly after hearing this. It would be fine if others falsely accused him, but even his own brothers didn't believe him, which made him a little unacceptable.

Li Yuanji did not care about the elder brother's scolding, but smiled and said, "Brother, don't be anxious! This is not what I said, it was the second brother who reported you like this. If the elder brother has complaints, then go and blame the second brother!"

Li Yuanji was worried that his elder brother and the second concubine had an affair. The main reason was that the second concubine was so beautiful that he had his own thoughts about the second concubine.

Li Jiancheng didn't know what he was thinking, but after considering the causes and consequences of the past few days, he said, "The situation is gone now. Why did he finally tear his face? Do you think there will be a fraud?"

Li Yuanji suddenly felt nervous after hearing his elder brother's words, and said, "Brother, the situation is unclear now. Should we not rush to enter the palace tomorrow morning? It is better to send someone to contact the prime ministers first before making plans. I don't think it's too late?"

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji continued, "For some reason, I always feel very uneasy?"

Li Jiancheng frowned and sighed slowly and said, "If we don't enter the palace, we may have hit the second brother's trick. In the eyes of the father, if we refuse to go, it may be a sign of guilt, and it also confirms that we have an affair with the concubines in the palace. This charge is probably something you and I can't bear to bear!"

When Li Yuanji heard this, he nodded helplessly, feeling uneasy, and said, "Then...then we should be careful tomorrow."

Li Jiancheng stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry, your second brother is about to be finished. Maybe this is the last time we will see him."

After hearing his elder brother's confident tone, Li Yuanji put down his worries and said movedly: "Brother, do you think your father will really destroy his second child this time?"

Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly poured two more bowls of wine and said, "I have already received the news that my father will demote the second brother to the Nanyue Island this time. From now on, their family will stay on that deserted island for the rest of their lives. There will be no need to worry about your second brother again. Thinking about it makes people feel very happy."

Li Yuanji smiled gloomyly and said, "As long as there is no accident or something, the second brother can only end up waiting to be captured. We will no longer have to be wary of him."

Li Jiancheng breathed a long sigh, suddenly laughed, and said with a smile: "What else can he do? After the trial in the palace tomorrow, our brothers will clear the grievances, and the second brother will have to fuck his island king in the future."

"Brother, then congratulations, I can rest assured in the future!" Li Yuanjiyan was insincere.

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your good words in the fourth brother. Don't worry, as long as my elder brother gets that position in the future, I will not forget the contributions of my fourth brother."

"Then I'll wait for the day when my elder brother sits in that position. I'll give you a bowl of me first." Li Yuanji picked up the wine bowl in front of me and drank it all in one go.

Li Jiancheng finished the wine bowl in front of him and laughed: "Fourth brother goes back and has a good sleep. After tomorrow, our brothers will be in the world."

Li Yuanji stood up and bowed and planned to leave. He just walked a few steps, and walked back with a worried look on his face.

"Brother, is this a trap set by the second brother for us, let's get in?" Li Yuanji said with some concern. He felt extremely uneasy in his heart, as if a hungry wolf was rushing towards him in secret.

"Hahaha..." Li Jiancheng laughed loudly, "You are too proud of your second brother. His military power has been taken away by us. Your second brother's confidant generals are now in the military camp dozens of miles north of the city. Without your order, no one can call out a soldier. Almost all the ministers in the court surrendered to us. He wants no one. Even if he wants to plot against us, he is probably powerless!"

"This..." Li Yuanji saw that his elder brother was full of confidence and thought about it again. He didn't know where to start, so he nodded helplessly to agree with his elder brother's analysis and returned to his Wude Hall.

...

When the sky in the east turned white and as the sky was about to brighten, Li Jiancheng issued an order to the personal bodyguards. The guards of the East Palace were already ready and ready to go. After Li Jiancheng saw that they were ready, he turned over and prepared to enter the palace.

After experiencing Yang Wengan's incident, in order to detain Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan directly built a convenient passage on the palace wall between the East Palace and the Da Nei. Afterwards, Li Yuan was already prepared for him and did not order the demolition, so he had to go around a lot before entering the Da Nei.

Li Jiancheng had just left the palace gate and met Li Yuanji. Without greetings, the two of them brought together more than a hundred guards each.

They immediately set out towards the nearest north gate, and the guard of this palace gate was Li Jiancheng's men, which was enough to ensure their safety. This palace gate also has a special name - Xuanwu Gate.

The two of them came to Xuanwu Gate without panic along the way.

The guard commander who was bought by Li Er showed a sneer of unawareness on his face when he saw them, and then hurried over to salute him, saying, "I will pay homage to the prince and His Highness of Qi!"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said to the guard commander, "Is the King of Qin here?"

The guard commander hurriedly said, "It has been a while, and I guess he has entered the palace now."

Li Jiancheng focused on him and said slowly: "How many people did the King of Qin bring?"

"The King of Qin only brought eight subordinates, but not one more person."

When Li Jiancheng heard the guards and commander say that the King of Qin brought eight people, he immediately looked at Li Yuanji to relieve him.

Li Yuanji nodded, and his inner uneasiness relaxed a little.

Li Jiancheng was about to enter the palace gate when he beat a horse, but the guards stopped him and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has an order. You are not allowed to bring attendants into the palace today. Prince, see?"

Li Yuanji had dissatisfaction on his face and said, "Take a few guards to court, do you have to take care of it too? Get out of the way!"

Li Jiancheng didn't expect that the other party had betrayed him, so he waved his hand at Li Yuanji and said, "Fourth brother, this is the will of the father. Don't make things difficult for him. He just obeys the orders of his father. We will do it as we do, it's not a big deal!"

Since my elder brother has said that, Li Yuanji is not good at saying anything else.

The two guards were left outside the Xuanwu Gate. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led their personal guards to the Xuanwu Gate.

The guard commander followed the entrance and climbed the city gate again. When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's figure disappeared from afar, he raised a smile on his lips and said to himself: "I don't want to stay in this Xuanwu Gate all my life. I want to go out and make achievements."

The guard commander clenched his fists, turned to his confidant and said, "Tell me the order, close the Xuanwu Gate!"

...

After standing in the void and watching all this, Li Yu knew that the Xuanwu Gate incident had already been on the string and had to send it out. It was about killing the prince and the King of Qi.

I looked at the girls who were divided into two groups, hiding over the East Palace and Li Yuanji's bedroom.

Li Yu's body disappeared into the void.

After returning to the villa, he felt it was time to tell Li Xiuning the truth.

Li Yu returned to the hall and saw her sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Li Yu approached her and said slowly: "Xiu Ning! Don't be excited if you hear something later."

Li Xiuning browed and said, "How come you are mysterious in the morning? What do you want to say?"

Li Yu looked at her quietly and said slowly: "Your second brother, King Qin, rebelled!"

"What?" Li Xiuning was shocked after hearing this, then looked at Li Yu with a suspicious look and asked, "Master, you are not joking, are you? My second brother's poison injury just recovered, and the military power in his hand has been handed over. What is he using to rebel?"

Li Yu said leisurely, "Your second brother thinks he has no soldiers and no power. Don't forget that his prestige in the army is still there. There are also a group of generals loyal to him in the army. Besides, he doesn't need too many troops. He only needs thousands of people to ambush the prince and the King of Qi, and then enter the palace to force your father to abdicate."

This... this is impossible!" When Li Xiuning heard this, her face turned pale. She didn't want to believe this fact, but she also knew that Li Yu would not lie to her.
