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

At night, stars dot the sky, and a crescent moon hides behind the clouds.

There was silence in Chang'an City, and the residents all fell asleep.

The palace of Prince Qin is brightly lit.

Li Shimin and his advisers and generals plotted late into the night.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone raised their heads and looked outside the hall.

I saw a group of Xuanjia troops leading a general inside.

This general is Liu Hongji, the deputy general of Xuanwu Sect!

Liu Hongji was greedy for life and afraid of death. In order to avoid Yang Guang's conquest of Goguryeo, he deliberately slaughtered farm cattle privately and was arrested and imprisoned. Later he defected to Taiyuan and followed Li Yuan.

When Li Changqing attacked Chang'an, Liu Hongji assisted, beheaded Song Laosheng, defeated Wei Wensheng, and awarded General You Xiaowei with his merits.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, two guards, Jing Junhong and Chang He, were killed by Li Changqing, and Liu Hongji and Qu Tutong were appointed as guards of the Xuanwu Gate.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw Changsun Wuji, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, Chai Shao and other old officials of the Qin Palace present. Liu Hongji felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he might be in trouble tonight.

He cupped his fists and saluted Li Shimin, and said respectfully:"Liu Hongji, the last general, is here to see His Highness the King of Qin!"

Li Shimin stood up with a smile on his face, pointed to the seat next to him and said,"Hurry up and take your seat, Hongji!"

Liu Hongji sat there anxiously. Next to Li Shimin, he asked:"I don't know why the King of Qin summoned the general to come late at night?"

Li Shimin smiled, just lowered his head to drink tea, and did not speak.

Changsun Wuji on the other side said with a smile:"General Liu, I came to see you late at night to discuss important matters!"

Liu Hongji felt shuddered in his heart, and he raised his hand to Changsun Wuji and said:"Please give me your instructions, Mr. Changsun. Exit."

Changsun Wuji looked serious and said with a solemn expression:"As the saying goes, a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a country cannot have two masters! Your Majesty is grateful for his family ties and has appointed a general to serve as the king.

This move is not good for the country, and it is not good for the country. The world is unfavorable, and it is unfavorable for China!

To the north, we have Turks repeatedly violating the border, and to the west, we have Tibet.

The land of China has just ended its civil war. Now it is at a time when people's livelihood is in decline and hundreds of wastes are waiting to be revitalized. It can no longer withstand any civil strife.

For the sake of the world , for the sake of the nation, General Liu was specially invited to conspire with us!"

The more grandiose Changsun Wuji said, the more Liu Hongji's heart sank to the bottom.

He had experienced the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and witnessed the era when the princes were separatist. He knew deeply that when those people rebelled, they would give a high-sounding reason.

It seems as if all of them are saints, and the rebellion is not for themselves, but for the people of the world!

When he was frightened and restless, Changsun Wuji stared at him closely with a pair of eagle-like eyes and said in a generous voice:

"King Wu stood side by side with the emperor and shared the country with the emperor. After Your Majesty, how should future kings face King Wu?

A country with two masters is bound to be in great trouble! On this occasion, the King of Qin wanted to nip the big trouble in the bud!

Tomorrow night, General Liu will be on duty at Xuanwu Gate. At that time, I hope to ask General Liu to open the city gates and let the Xuanjia Army enter the imperial city!"

"Bang!"

Liu Hongji couldn't sit still. The hand holding the teacup shook and the tea spilled on the floor.

Without the emperor's permission, no army except the imperial army was allowed to enter the imperial city, otherwise it would be regarded as treason.

The Xuanjia army entered the imperial city. Doesn't this mean that King Li Shimin of Qin wants to rebel!

Liu Hongji has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, how dare he participate in the rebellion!

He quickly waved his hands and refused, saying:"The last general is the guard of Xuanwu Gate, guarding the imperial city for comfort. Without His Majesty's will, he would never dare to Let the Xuanjia army enter the city."

His reaction seemed to be expected by everyone, and no one had any emotional changes.

Li Shimin was still sitting on the main seat, drinking tea silently.

"General Liu need not rush to answer immediately. Changsun Wuji showed a meaningful smile on his lips and said,"Drink a cup of tea first and think about it slowly." Although it's late now, we have already given instructions to your wife, so there is no need to leave the house alone."

Hearing this, Liu Hongji's expression changed drastically.

Changsun Wuji's words clearly told him that everyone in the Liu family was under control!

He had no doubt that if he refused to join the gang tonight, he would definitely leave. Not leaving the Qin Prince's Mansion.

The entire Liu family did not end well.

Liu Hongji's face was gloomy. After being silent for a long time, he stood up and bowed to Li Shimin, saying:

"The general has always admired the King of Qin's style, but he has never had the opportunity to serve under the King of Qin.

Today, His Highness the King of Qin has taken a fancy to me, and the general is very happy. I am willing to listen to King Qin’s orders from now on! Li

Shimin stood up with a long smile, held Liu Hongji's hands, and said:"With Hongji's help, great things can be accomplished!""

The Imperial Palace Forbidden Army is not as good as the Xuanjia Army.

If we attack the imperial city by force, we can capture it in three to five days.

If we can get the help of the Xuanwumen guards, we can control the imperial city overnight with lightning speed!

Even When the people woke up, they didn't know that there was a mutiny in the palace!

After forcing Liu Hongji to join, Changsun Wuji continued to conspire with the generals of the Qin Palace.

He would force the palace to rebel, and he would respond to all matters, big and small, and consider everything.

Everything was really ready, as long as Liu Hongji will be on duty at Xuanwu Gate tomorrow night!

The night is silent and the cold wind is howling.

The snow in Chang'an is getting heavier and heavier.

The roofs of every household are covered with white.

Li Shimin stood in the Qin Palace, with his back to a group of advisers and generals, heading south Looking at the majestic imperial city, he solemnly ordered:"Chai Shao and Hou Jun gather to listen to the order! After the army enters the imperial city from Xuanwu Gate, you two will lead an army of 10,000 to garrison Xuanwu Gate!"

Chai Shao and Hou Junji looked excited and responded loudly:"No!"

"Duan Zhixuan listens to the order! I order you to lead five thousand Xuanjia troops to control the Tongxun Gate!

Duan Zhixuan stood up and held his hands in his hands:"No!"

"Zhang Gongjin obeys the order! I order you to lead five thousand Xuanjia troops to attack from Yeting Palace and occupy Jiayou Gate and Tongming Gate!"

Zhang Gongjin stood up with a big sword and loudly promised

"Zhang Liang obeys the order! I order you to lead five thousand Xuanjia troops to attack Chengtianmen!"

"promise!"

A sharp light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. He looked in the direction of the imperial city and murmured:"I... personally led an army of five thousand people and headed straight for the Tai Chi Palace!"
