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

It snowed heavily all night, and the sky and the earth were white.

This year’s winter seems to be coming earlier than before.

Heavy snow like goose feathers covered the entire city of Chang'an.

The city of Chang'an is covered in silver. Viewed from a distance, it is exceptionally beautiful.

The cold wind of the twelfth lunar month was biting, making people's cheeks hurt, and making people on the street tremble.

But there is one thing that is more terrifying than the cold wind in the dead of winter and can make one's soul tremble.

A chilling atmosphere filled the entire military camp.

The blood of the Xuanjia Army surged into the sky, and their murderous intent was overwhelming.

Thirty thousand Xuanjia troops, dressed in armor, are ready to go!

Just waiting for Li Shimin's order, these tiger and wolf warriors will attack the imperial city!

……

The Tang Dynasty followed the system of the Han Dynasty, which required a day off for bathing every five days.

Today is the day of rest. The emperor and his ministers can rest for a day without having to go to court early.

However, for a founding monarch, he wanted to seize all the time to deal with government affairs, and how could he give himself a holiday?

Li Yuan got up early as usual and started handling government affairs at five o'clock, and continued until noon.

In the afternoon, after lunch, I took a nap in the imperial study room for an hour.

After waking up, he began to review memorials and handle government affairs.

When he saw a memorial regarding the appointment of officials from Jiangnan Province, he said to Wang Chengren:

"Go and summon King Qin to see me"

"promise!"

Wang Chengren respectfully retired and ordered someone to summon Qin King Li Shimin.

After half a stick of incense, he went into the imperial study again and reported to Li Yuan:

"Your Majesty, King Qin caught wind and cold yesterday and is now bedridden."

"Infected with cold?"Li Yuan put down the memorial in his hand and asked quickly:"Is it serious?

Wang Chengren nodded and said:"According to the imperial doctor, it is quite serious and requires rest for half a month before recovery can occur."

Li Yuan said:"Go to the warehouse quickly, collect the thousand-year-old ginseng that was paid as tribute from the Western Regions, and send it to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.""

Li Yuan had many heirs, but he only had three favorite sons.

They were his adopted son Li Changqing, his eldest son Li Jiancheng and his second son Li Shimin.

Therefore, even though he had long been aware of Li Shimin's intention to rebel, he pretended not to know.

Because he didn't know. Once the last layer of window paper is pierced, how to deal with the relationship between father and son.

At this time, in a courtyard in the western suburbs of Chang'an.

Li Shimin led his personal guards to surround the courtyard. This is the courtyard where the deposed prince Li Jiancheng was imprisoned!

He is holding Li Jiancheng, who was reading a volume of ancient books, heard the sound of footsteps. When he looked up, he saw the not tall but majestic figure of Li Shimin.

He put down the book in his hand and said,"Second brother, why are you still here on such a freezing day?" Come to my place if you have time?"

Li Shimin didn't speak, but looked straight at Li Jiancheng, his eyes were slightly red, and some tears could be seen faintly.

When Li Jiancheng saw this, he looked at the fierce-faced guards behind Li Shimin, and he suddenly understood everything.

He He shook his head, smiled casually, and said:"Yesterday, my father decreed that my sixth brother was the King of Side by Side. My second brother must have been anxious and uneasy, just like me at that time. I never thought that my sixth brother spared my life, but today I would die at the hands of my second brother."

After the news that Li Yuan decreed Li Changqing to be King of Side by Side yesterday spread all over the world, Li Shimin came to visit today.

Li Jiancheng was once a prince, and he was very aware of Li Shimin's anxious mood at this moment.

He also guessed that he would launch a mutiny because he was afraid of Li Changqing, just like he did at that time. You want to force the palace!

Only by having the country firmly under your feet can you feel at ease.

Li Shimin exhaled heavily and said:"Brother, you will die on the day of the Xuanwumen Incident. Sixth Brother, I will spare your life and keep you alive to this day. You should have no regrets."

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, a guard took a jug of wine and placed it on the table in front of Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng picked up the jug and said:"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the royal family. From the day I launched the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny, I thought about what would happen today. He put the spout into his mouth and looked deeply at Li Shimin,"I only hope that my second brother will not hurt my father after he is done. I also hope that my second brother can let your sister-in-law and several nephews go.""

After that, he drank a pot of wine, and soon he was bleeding from all his orifices on the table.

Li Shimin turned his back to Li Jiancheng and murmured:"Brother, don't worry, I, Li Shimin, am not a beast. After my father abdicates the throne, I will fulfill my filial piety on your behalf and I will definitely let my father enjoy his old age in peace. After he finished speaking

, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Li Jiancheng asked him for two things. He only said that he would fulfill his filial piety in front of Li Yuan, but said nothing about Li Jiancheng's wife, children and children.

……

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Yuan was drinking warm tea while reviewing the memorial.

Suddenly, Wang Chengren came over and reported:"Your Majesty, Taiyuan left-behind Liu Zhenghui is outside the door asking for an audience." In the thirteenth year of Daye, Li Yuan was promoted to Taiyuan left-behind, and Liu Zhenghui's department was under his command.

Since Li Yuan's uprising in Jinyang, Liu Zhenghui has been following him.

Last year, Liu Wuzhou attacked Jinyang. Xue Shen, a local tycoon in Jinyang, opened the city to meet Liu Wuzhou. Jinyang City fell and Liu Zhenghui was captured.

At this juncture, Liu Zhenghui was loyal and unyielding. Although he was captured, he still did not forget to secretly inform Li Yuan of the enemy's military situation.

After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and established the Tang Dynasty, he granted Liu Zhenghui the title of guard in Taiyuan.

The relationship between the two as monarch and minister is very deep.

Li Yuan put down the memorial and said:"Xuan."

Soon, Liu Zhenghui entered the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the door, he saluted Li Yuan:"My lord, Liu Zhenghui, who is staying in Taiyuan, is here to see your majesty!"

Li Yuan laughed loudly and personally stepped forward to help him up.

After the two chatted for a while, Liu Zhenghui suddenly said with emotion:"Your Majesty, I came to Beijing to report on my duties. I just arrived in Chang'an today. When I passed by the Xuanjia Military Camp, I felt a murderous aura that made my heart tremble.

In such a cold winter, the soldiers are still wearing armor. Join me. King Qin leads the army well, second only to King Wu. If our armies of the Tang Dynasty are all like the white-robed army and the black-armored army, then why should we be afraid of foreigners!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression immediately changed.

The Xuanjia Army, unlike the Nanya Forbidden Army and the Beiya Forbidden Army, needed to guard the imperial city. On weekdays, you only need to be stationed in the military camp and train on time.

Today is the rest period, it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, but the officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are wearing armor!

Thinking back to Li Shimin, who was still full of energy yesterday but was seriously ill in bed today due to cold, layers of cold sweat broke out on Li Yuan's forehead.

He quickly issued an order:"Quickly pass the news to the palace!"
