The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

The night was dark, covering the entire city of Chang'an like ink.

Chang'an City implemented a curfew seven days ago. If you look down from above Chang'an City, only the Imperial Palace and Tiance Mansion are brightly lit, facing each other from a distance, like the sun and the moon competing for brightness.

Tai Chi Hall.

Although it was late at night, Li Shimin was not sleepy at all. Li Changqing's early arrival forced him to arrange his plan for Li Changqing in advance.

In the Taiji Hall, Duan Zhixuan, Chai Shao, Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Liang, Changsun Shunde and other Li Shimin's confidants gathered here, as well as Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, the two Li Tang clan members.

Everyone stood on both sides of the Tai Chi Hall, bowing their heads and saying nothing. Only their eyes were focused on Li Shimin, who was in the first place.

They all know why they are here tonight.

If successful, they will all be ministers of the dragon, with infinite glory. If you fail, you will be stigmatized as a traitor and turn into powder.

This is a game, and each of them is a gambler who puts their wealth and life on the gambling table.

Although some of them did not dare to ambush Li Changqing.

However, it is a grasshopper on a rope who has already boarded Li Shimin's pirate ship.

If they dare to retreat, Li Shimin will not let them live without Li Changqing taking action.

Li Shimin sat at the top of the list. He had not slept for several days. The tremendous pressure and excitement brought about by ambushing Li Changqing made him dare not sleep.

He was afraid that once he woke up, he would lose this courage

"I invite you all to come here tonight to prepare for the ambush of King Wu tomorrow. The arrangements need to be completed all night long."

"King Wu's bravery is unparalleled in the world, and it is impossible to kill him head-on. Therefore, I will hold a banquet for him in Mingde Hall and poison the wine to kill him."

"However, King Wu is not a human being, and I am afraid that he might hurt someone before his poison breaks out, so for the sake of safety..."

Li Shimin paused and looked at one of his confidants:"Chai Shao!"

"The end will be here!"

Chai Shao said in a deep voice and stepped out of the queue.

"This king orders you to lead three hundred swordsmen and axemen to lie down outside the palace, and use this king's throwing cup as a sign to surround and kill King Wu!"

"The general takes command!"

"Changsun Shunde!"

"The end will be here!"

"This king orders you to lead eighteen elite generals to lie down in the palace together and follow orders to come out! Keep me safe!"

"yes!"

"Brothers Xiaogong and Daozong, you two lead 30,000 imperial guards to blockade the imperial city. Anyone who makes any move will be killed without mercy!"

"Please obey the king’s orders!"

"Duan Zhixuan! You have 300,000 people waiting outside the city of Chang'an. Even if it is a bird, you are not allowed to let it in or fly out!"

……

Murderous orders were issued one after another from Li Shimin, and this killing plan against Li Changqing was gradually perfected.

After completing all the arrangements, Li Shimin was filled with pure murderous intent and a hint of madness.

He looked at everyone with his bloodshot eyes, then pointed to an empty seat beside him and said:"There should be an auxiliary machine here! But his loyalty to the king wavered, and he had to be placed under house arrest for the sake of the overall situation.

But I don’t blame him! Once Li Changqing dies, he will know who is the true chosen master of the Tang Dynasty!"

"At that time, I had to kill Hou Junji, but I never forgot him, and so did you!"

"Once this is done, you will all become ministers of the dragon, and your family will enjoy eternal glory!"

Li Shimin's words shocked everyone's heart, making their blood boil with excitement and emotion.

Changsun Shunde was the first to kneel down and said angrily:"I am willing to die for the King of Qin!"

He is not the younger brother of Changsun Wuji. If he does not show his loyalty at this time, the Changsun family may be destroyed!

Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison:

"I am willing to die for King Qin! Vow to kill King Wu Li Changqing!"............

The next morning.

Li Changqing rested all night in Tiance Mansion. Because he was worried about Li Yuan, he took a bath and changed clothes early in the morning and went to the palace.

As soon as he arrived at Chengtianmen, Li Changqing met Li Shimin who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Sixth brother, are you here so early?"

Li Shimin said hello with a smile, looking particularly friendly.

"Why are you here again?"

Li Changqing frowned. Li Shimin stopped him here several times, which made him suspicious.

A trace of worry flashed on Li Shimin's face and he said:"I served my father before the collapse last night and stayed up all night. My father always slept lightly. I woke up with a start, and I didn't dare to leave until he fell into a deep sleep, and was about to go back to rest."

Li Changqing was slightly startled when he heard this. He took a look at Li Shimin and found that he had deep dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was haggard. He couldn't help but believe his words, and his resentment also disappeared a lot.

He noticed the change in Li Changqing's expression. , Li Shimin smiled at the right time and said:"Father is sleeping deeply, it's better for my sixth brother not to disturb him now.

You and I haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, why don't we go to Mingde Hall for a glass of wine? I have a lot to talk to you about."

Li Shimin spoke sincerely, as if he had turned into the humble King of Qin before the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Li Changqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Li Shimin's invitation, and went with him to the Mingde Hall, where he happened to have a breakfast.

Ming Dynasty Hall of Virtue.

Li Shimin and Li Changqing took their seats, ordered their servants to arrange the banquet, and then smiled at Li Changqing and said:"Sixth brother guards the border for Xu of the Tang Dynasty. I really admire you. This glass of wine congratulates me, King Wu of the Tang Dynasty!""

He picked up the wine glass, saluted Li Changqing from a distance, and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Changqing returned the glass and said calmly:"It is my duty to maintain peace for the Tang Dynasty for all generations."

"Hahaha! As expected of your sixth brother, your father said when you were a child that you were a very human being and had Huo Qubing's aspirations, but now, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing are far behind you! Li

Shimin laughed heartily, picked up the wine glass again and said:"With this glass of wine, I respect my father and wish him good health, a speedy recovery, a long life, and witness the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty!""

Li Changqing nodded and had a drink with Li Shimin again.

He found that he had not seen Li Shimin for half a year, and Li Shimin had returned to the second brother he knew and admired before. After two glasses of wine, Li Shimin filled himself up with another glass of wine. Suddenly He let out a long sigh and said:"Although our country, the Tang Dynasty, is now at peace and prosperous, there is still a serious problem that keeps me awake day and night, like a ray of light on my back."

The strong sense of crisis in Li Changqing's heart became more and more intense. He drank the third glass of wine and frowned at Li Shimin:"I wonder what the serious problem that the second brother mentioned is the most serious problem in his heart?"

Li Shimin didn't answer immediately. He just drank the wine in his glass and then murmured:"After three rounds of drinking, it's time for you and me to be honest with each other. He stood up, pierced Li Changqing with his sharp eyes, and said slowly:"The biggest problem in my heart...is the sixth brother...you!""

After finishing speaking, the wine bottle in his hand was thrown to the ground with a clear sound, like cracked silk._
