Early in the morning, Li Shimin had already left Qin Wangfu early and headed for Xuanwu Gate in Beicheng.
This is the route that the East Palace often takes. After all, in the eyes of Li Jiancheng of the East Palace, where is the Xuanwu Gate, it is the safest. So no matter what happened, Li Jiancheng entered the palace through the Xuanwu Gate.
Li Shimin brought his people to the Xuanwu Gate early in the morning and lay in ambush, waiting quietly. Time passed little by little, and the sun rose. On the other side, brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, under the escort of the accompanying guards, had already come to Xuanwumen.
Both Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked solemn.
Because it's a big deal today.
Once Li Yuan wanted to deal with them, after they survived this test, they would have to rebel and seize the throne directly. But this is the next step, a path that Li Jiancheng is unwilling to take anyway.
After all, he is the eldest son, the eldest son of the emperor.
Li Jiancheng's status naturally has an advantage, once the rebellion all advantages are gone. The two led the team and came outside the Xuanwu Gate. At this moment, the horse Li Jiancheng was riding fell to his knees on the ground with a single front hoof, and fell so suddenly that Li Jiancheng fell to the ground.
This is a blunder.
Li Jiancheng fell so badly that he stood up and looked at the fallen horse, and ordered it to be dragged away.
After the war horse was dragged away, Li Jiancheng frowned.
Entering the palace today, the auspicious omen is not good.
However, Li Jiancheng could no longer retreat when he reached the Xuanwu Gate. The large team of guards stopped outside the Xuanwu Gate, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led a small number of soldiers into the palace.
A group of people entered the Xuanwu Gate and went to the main hall where Li Yuan was.
After the team walked for a while, Li Jiancheng suddenly felt chills in his heart. He felt the hairs all over his body explode, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
He felt something was wrong.
Li Jiancheng didn't think that it was Li Shimin who wanted to do something to him, but that Li Yuan wanted to deal with him. Li Jiancheng made a decisive decision and said, "Fourth brother, retreat, we will retreat immediately."
He felt that the situation was very bad.
? After Li Jiancheng retreated, Li Yuanji and the rest of the few guards retreated together. At this moment, Li Shimin, who was hiding in the Xuanwu Gate and on the official road leading to Ganlu Hall, rushed out with his troops.
Li Shimin naturally couldn't let Li Jiancheng escape, he shouted directly: "Prince, King Qi, don't go!"
Li Jiancheng looked back.
Immediately, I saw Li Shimin and the soldiers beside Li Shimin. Although there were not many people around Li Shimin, there were nearly a thousand people at any rate, but so many people appeared in the palace in an open manner.
"No, I fell for it."
"Retreat!"
Li Jiancheng shouted.
As soon as he patted the back of the horse under his crotch, the new war horse galloped quickly.
The same goes for Li Yuanji.
Both of them ran out quickly.
As long as they rush out of the Xuanwu Gate, they still have a chance. The reason is simple, whether it is Li Jiancheng's military strength or Li Yuanji's military strength, they are all outside the Xuanwu Gate. As long as they rushed out of the Xuanwu Gate, they would have a chance to turn the situation around.
This is their only chance.
The two quickly retreated.
Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Jiancheng. He knew that now is not a time for indecision, success or failure depends on one action. Li Shimin is skilled in bow and horse. He rode on horseback, bent his bow and set an arrow, aimed at Li Jiancheng, and released the arrow like lightning.
"Phew!"
The bow and arrow pierced through the air with an ear-piercing sound, and they arrived behind Li Jiancheng in a blink of an eye. With a puff of the bow and arrow, they shot into Li Jiancheng's back, pierced through the back, penetrated into the chest, and pierced out from the front chest.
Li Jiancheng screamed, his body plopped, and he fell to the ground.
The appearance is extremely miserable.
"Brother!"
Seeing Li Jiancheng being killed, Li Yuanji's eyes widened with anger, and an angry expression appeared on his face. He looked back and saw that Li Shimin was the one who took the lead and rushed to the front. He knew it would be difficult to evacuate, so he simply turned his horse's head and rushed towards Li Shimin.
"It is impossible to attack King Qin."
At this moment, it was Yu Chigong who rushed out.
Yuchi Gong held a steel whip and went up to meet him. His speed was extremely fast, it was late when he said it, but it was fast at that time, and he arrived at Li Yuan in a blink of an eye.In front of Ji, the steel whip in his hand fell down fiercely.
"Snapped!"
The steel whip fell and hit Li Yuanji's chest.
Under the impact of the tyrannical force, Li Yuanji groaned, his body flew upside down from the horse's back, and fell to the ground with a bang. Li Yuanji wanted to get up, but when he moved, his body hurt so badly that it was difficult to get up.
"Die!"
At this moment, Yu Chigong swung his whip again.
"Snapped!"
The iron whip fell on Li Yuanji's head.
Immediately, the skull shattered, Li Yuanji's body twitched twice, and he had already lost consciousness. The accompanying soldiers stepped forward quickly and directly took down the guards around Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
At this moment, the situation is settled.
Li Shimin said: "Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui!"
"exist!"
Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui answered immediately.
Li Shimin said: "Lead the soldiers, go outside the Xuanwu Gate, and recruit Xue Wanche and the soldiers."
"yes!"
The three led the troops and left.
Li Shimin looked at Yu Chigong, and ordered: "Yu Chigong, you take the people and follow me into the palace. Erlang, you come with me, and follow me to see His Majesty."
"yes!"
Yu Chigong and Du Qi answered together.
The rest of the people followed Li Shimin.
When Li Shimin went to the palace, Yu Chigong had already led the soldiers to rush forward, and within a short period of time, he had already surrounded the Ganlu Palace. Even the Ganlu Palace has guards, but these guards are far from enough to resist.
Following this, the news spread to the Ganlu Hall.
Li Yuanduan sat on the main seat, and below were Pei Ji, Chen Shuda and others. When Li Yuan heard the news reported by the soldiers, it was Yu Chigong who said that the prince rebelled and that the Ganlu Palace was not safe, so he sent troops to protect the Ganlu Palace. What is actually going on, no one knows. Since Li Shimin has already said that Li Jiancheng rebelled, there must have been a conflict.
Li Yuan suppressed the panic in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "Where is the prince, where is King Qin?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know for now."
"Ask me!"
Li Yuan roared almost hysterically.
He still can't accept this fact, it's fine, but suddenly there is a conflict. In particular, King Qin's soldiers and horses have already taken control of the imperial city, which is simply surprising.
The soldiers hurried out to ask Yu Chigong, but Yu Chigong didn't answer, but strode into the hall. Yuchi Gong looked at Li Yuan, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin will arrive later. Because the crown prince rebelled, he has already been punished."
