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

Seven days later, East Palace.

Li Yuanji said anxiously:"Brother! Make your decision quickly. If you continue to hesitate, Li Changqing will really be unable to control it!" In the main seat, Li Jiancheng drank tea slowly, his eyes flickering.

"Just a few days after Tiance Mansion opened its office, it has already recruited dozens of talents! Big brother, Li Jing and Du Ruhui, whom you value most, have all entered the Tiance Mansion!

Li Changqing's 80,000 white-robed troops are unparalleled in the world. In addition, he is now recruiting talents and his power is getting stronger and stronger. Brother, can you really hold your position as the prince?

He has no intention of competing for the throne now, but people's hearts will change! Even our second brother Li Shimin, who is from the same mother as us, now regards us as enemies, let alone Li Changqing, our adopted son!

Eighty thousand white-robed troops were stationed outside Chang'an City to protect Chang'an. Once he wants to force the palace to rebel, who can stop him?

Brother! If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos! If you don’t make a decision, it will be too late!"

Li Yuanji's tone became more and more excited, and the last two sentences were almost shouted.

"Click!"

Li Jiancheng crushed the tea cup in his hand, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip with water. It was very ugly.

He looked eastward in the direction of Tiance Mansion without saying a word.

After a long time, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, Slowly spit out a few words:

"The sixth brother, Changqing, is the leader of the three armies, has the courage of an overlord, and has made great contributions to his father's success in conquering the country.

But people's hearts are fickle, and his mistake was that he had the ability to force the palace to rebel!

As long as Li Changqing is not removed, my position as the crown prince will not be secure."

As he spoke, he heard a bang. Li Jiancheng suddenly sat up from his chair, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Someone come! Quickly send word that Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche have come to the East Palace to discuss matters!"

……

Tiance Mansion, a martial arts arena.

Li Changqing monopolizes Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Qin Qiong, and makes the tiger dance like a tiger with a halberd in the sky. He attacked fiercely, even with one against three, he still had the upper hand, and the fight made Cheng Yaojin and the others miserable.

Before he could hold out for a quarter of an hour, Cheng Yaojin stepped out of the battlefield, shook his sore arm, and said:

"No fight, no fight, the general is invincible, we are no match at all, it would be too boring to fight."

Cheng Yaojin jumped out of the battlefield, and everyone stopped.

Qin Qiong laughed and said:"Everyone says that generals are the best in the world when fighting on horseback, but they don't know that generals are more brave when fighting on foot. When His Majesty revolted, General Pingyang and Princess Pingyang sold their properties to provide relief to the victims. They quickly raised an army of more than 30,000 people, defeated the Sui army many times, and occupied a large area of ​​​​Guanzhong.

In one of the battles, he faced Yuwen Chengdu, the most powerful general of the Sui army. Zhijie and Jingde, you two did not follow the general at first, but I witnessed it with my own eyes. The general killed Yuwen Chengdu with his three halberds, and his soldiers were as powerful as a rainbow. They defeated 50,000 Yuwen's army in one fell swoop, laying an indelible contribution to His Majesty's advance into Chang'an."

As soon as Qin Qiong talked about this past event, Cheng Yaojin's face showed a look of yearning, and he sighed:"Three halberds killed Yu Wen in Chengdu, how elegant it must be. It's a pity that I couldn't witness it with my own eyes, which is really a great regret in life!"

Yu Chigong was also filled with sighs and longing in his heart.

Just as everyone was talking about Li Changqing's past style, Li Jing hurried to the martial arts arena.

"General, the Crown Prince advises Your Majesty to marry Princess Pingyang to Chai Shao! Hearing this

, the expressions of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong changed greatly, and they all turned to look at Li Changqing.

Li Changqing's face was calm and he said:"Prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace."

Li Jing said quickly:"General!" Tiance Mansion already has a tense relationship with Donggong……"

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Li Changqing waving his hand.

"I don't care how he targets and excludes me on weekdays. But he knew clearly about my relationship with Xiuning, yet he advised my father to marry Xiuning to Chai Shao. I can't stand this!"

After that, he turned around, stepped on the wind-chasing horse led by Captain Chi Gong, and headed straight for the palace.

……

The Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty consists of three parts.

There is Taiji Palace in the middle, and East Palace and Yeting Palace on the left and right respectively.

Among them, Taiji Palace is the political center.

The East Palace is where the prince lives, and the Yeting Palace is where the palace maids live and the women of criminal bureaucrats' families work. Xuanwu Gate is the north gate of the palace.

There are palace gates in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the palace.

The main entrance is Chengtian Gate in the middle of the south wall, where the emperor held foreign court ceremonies.

To the east is Tongxun Gate, leading to the East Palace.

To the west are Jiayou Gate and Tongming Gate, leading to Yeting Palace.

The north gate is the Xuanwu Gate.

Xuanwumen is located on the remaining slope of Longshouyuan, which is the highest point of the palace. Standing on the Xuanwu Gate, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City. The military status is very important.

When not in court, when the emperor called his ministers to enter the palace, they all passed through the Xuanwu Gate.

At this moment, there was a murderous atmosphere on the Xuanwu Gate.

In the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty, two armies were stationed to protect the safety of the Imperial City.

To the south of the palace, there is a Nanya soldiers composed of sixteen guards.

To the north of the palace was the Yulin Guard directly under the emperor, also known as the Beiya Forbidden Army.

As a city gate with extremely important military status, Xuanwu Gate is guarded by the Nanya Army and the Beiya Army.

The generals of Xuanwu Gate are Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, the generals of these two armies, plus Chang He, the prison general who is stationed at Xuanwu Gate.

The three people are not subordinate to each other but interfere with each other, thus preventing any of them from having evil intentions and threatening the safety of Xuanwu Gate.

Li Jiancheng used coercion and inducement, and used all means to get rid of these three people without alerting anyone. He transferred Changlin soldiers from the Prince's East Palace to Xuanwu Gate without permission to ambush Li Changqing!

On the wall of Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stared at the avenue ahead with solemn faces.

"Fourth brother, the border is tight, and the Turks are watching eagerly outside the border. Why don't you ask your father to send him to station in Youzhou to defend against the Turks?"

Li Jiancheng thought of Li Changqing's domineering and majestic appearance across the three armies, and couldn't help but feel timid.

Li Yuanji saw that he was showing cowardice, and quickly said in a deep voice:"Brother, there is no turning back when you fire your bow! Ever since he was young, his father had always doted on Li Changqing.

Today, nearly half of the military commanders in the DPRK obey his orders. In addition, his prestige in the military is not even comparable to that of his father!

A hundred years from now, if your father has other intentions, you will never be able to secure your position!

What's more, the second brother is also watching covetously, coveting the position of prince!

Even if Li Changqing has no dissent, he has a better relationship with his second brother. Once he helps his second brother, the situation will collapse again!

The only solution for now is to ambush Li Changqing and before the second brother could react, take control of the imperial city with lightning speed and force his father to abdicate.

In this way, the situation can be in our hands!"

Li Jiancheng took a few deep breaths, his eyes shining brightly.

"Li Changqing, you forced me!"
