    Chapter 12 One Night in Chang'an (2) Located in Longqingfang between Daozhengfang and Yongjiafang, which can also be called Prince Zheng's Mansion, there is a seven-story bamboo building called Zhaonan Pavilion.  In terms of height, Zhaonan Pavilion can be regarded as one of the top ten buildings in Chang'an City.  But its function is to be a place for Pei Cuiyun, Changsun Wugou and Mao Xiaonian to play with their children.  Looking south from here, you can have a panoramic view of Chang'an.  But everyone knew that the so-called Zhaonan was hoping that Li Yanqing, the king of Henan, who was far away in Lingnan, would return as soon as possible.  ¡°Whether it¡¯s Li Yuan or anyone else, they have no opinion on this.  But at this time, the people sitting in Zhaonan Pavilion were not Pei Cuiyun, Sun Wugou, Mao Xiaonian and others.  Chai Xiaohe took over the railing and looked towards the direction of the Suzaku Gate. He saw the faint light of the fire at the top of the palace city, and his eyes suddenly showed a bit of coldness.  "Are Wen Yudong and Long Qi ready?" "When we return to the library, Protector Wen and Protector Long are ready As soon as the fire breaks out in Zhaonan, they will take action immediately." "Madams, it's safe.  "Before dark, the three ladies and the prince secretly evacuated from Yanxing Gate. They were probably on their way to Tongguan by this time." "Very good!" Chai Xiaohe nodded and continued to stare in the direction of the imperial city.  .  There was no expression on his face, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  Chai Xiaohe only got an order from Li Yanqing, ordering him to disrupt Chang'an tonight But what would be Li Yanqing's back-up plan?  Chai Xiaohe didn't know.  But Chai Xiaohe believed that the final victory must belong to his lord.  Not for anything else, but for Li Yanqing's various calculations, you can see the truth.  Sun Wu said at the beginning of the Thirteenth Chapter: If you don¡¯t fight but have temples to calculate the winner, you have to count more More means you will win, less means you won¡¯t win, so what if you don¡¯t count?  Since the fourth year of Wude, Li Yanqing seemed to have known that this day was coming.  Li Yanqing successively arranged for Liu Heng and Zheng Dabiao to join the army, and later served as the guards of Yanxing Gate, while Wen Yudong and Long Qi successively became the Forbidden Army, which all showed Li Yanqing's foresight.  With so many calculations, how can the Lord not win?  Although Li Yanqing has not returned to Chang'an in recent years, what is the reality?  Li Yanqing's control over Chang'an has never relaxed for a moment After tonight, maybe everything will be revealed ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Li Shimin held a long spear in his hand and rushed towards Li Jiancheng menacingly.  Li Jiancheng finally came to his senses: Li Shimin is going to kill him!  "Stop him!" Li Jiancheng roared, scrambling to get the weapon.  But he forgot He was coming back from hosting a funeral, and he didn't carry any other weapons except a sword.  Although Tonomiya Konoe was powerful, this happened so suddenly that before he could react, the team was already scattered.  In addition to the elite Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers of Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin also had the tiger guards of King Zhao Li Xuanba.  These two troops are both brave warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. They are obviously much better than the East Palace Guards.  Li Jiancheng left the battlefield and returned to Chang'an three years after Wude.  The Black Armored Heavenly Soldiers and the Tiger Guards have never stopped their conquests in the past few years.  In particular, Li Xuanba's Tiger Guards were all elite soldiers selected from the border army.  All of them were tall and strong, and what was even more frightening was the unique bravery and desperate temperament of the frontier army, which could not be compared with the pampered Toigong Guards.  In just an instant, the guards of the East Palace collapsed and fled.  "Prince, leave quickly!" Several guards tried their best to stop Li Shimin and shouted loudly.  Li Jiancheng finally came to his senses: Yes, why am I entangled with Erlang here?  He hissed and shouted: "Stop the rebels!" After saying that, Li Jiancheng turned his horse and left.  As Li Yanqing once said, at this point, Li Shimin is really stuck Li Yuan handed over the funeral of Princess Pingyang to Li Jiancheng, which is equivalent to sending a very clear signal to the outside world: Li Jiancheng is my heir. This cannot be more true.  It won't change either.  If Li Jiancheng becomes emperor, Li Shimin will be in trouble!  As a contender for the crown prince position, Li Shimin knew very well that once Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, he would surely settle accounts with him.  Even if Li Jiancheng had a generous temper, he would not be able to tolerate a brother who was vying for the throne to live happily.  Li Shimin didn't know that Li YuanI have already thought of a way out for him So what if I have already thought of it?  Li Jiancheng became the emperor, and it was easy to kill him.  What¡¯s more, the supporters behind Li Shimin will not allow him to stop just now.  Li Jiancheng may let Li Shimin go, but will he let go of those counselors and family ancestors who once supported Li Shimin against Li Jiancheng?  The answer is obvious So, when Li Jiancheng went to preside over the funeral, Tiance Mansion quietly issued instructions one after another.  After all, Li Shimin has been operating in Chang'an for many years, and he also has a certain degree of influence in the army.  Chang He, the guard of the Zhuque Gate, is nominally the guard of the East Palace.  But in reality?  He had already been bribed by Li Shimin and became a pawn he placed in the East Palace.  Li Shimin knew that if he didn't take action, he would die badly.  In this case, he had no choice but to take a risk At the same time, Li Shimin secretly ordered Qu Tutong to detain Li Yanqing in Luoyang. If Li Yanqing resisted, he could be killed on the spot.  After everything was arranged, he mobilized his troops and prepared for action.  Seeing that something big was about to happen, Li Shimin naturally couldn't let Li Jiancheng escape easily.  If Li Jiancheng is allowed to escape, he will be completely doomed!  "The prince has conspired to rebel. I have been ordered to fight against the rebellion and only kill the first culprit. The East Palace Guards surrender immediately, otherwise they will not be killed!" Li Shimin shouted sharply, which made the East Palace Guards hesitate.  After all, this is Chang'an, this is the imperial capital As a prince, how could Li Shimin rebel?  The only possibility is that King Qin really got the emperor's order and came to kill Li Jiancheng.  This is a habitual thinking. No one could have imagined that Li Shimin would seriously rebel.  Li Jiancheng also turned red-eyed, "Don't listen to the anti-thieves' monstrous words to confuse the public, he" Before he could finish his words, he only heard the sound of a bowstring.  Cheng Yaojin rushed out of the palace gate and killed Li Yuanji first. Seeing that Li Jiancheng was about to leave, he quickly picked up his bow and arrow and shot out.  Li Jiancheng has lived in a dignified life for many years, and his riding and shooting skills have long been put aside.  By the time he noticed the arrow coming, it was already too late.  There was a pop, and the sharp arrow hit Li Jiancheng's shoulder.  Li Jiancheng was not wearing any armor, and the sharp arrow pierced his shoulder. He screamed in pain and fell off his horse.  At the same time, Li Shimin had broken out of the siege and Pegasus came to Li Jiancheng.  After Li Jiancheng fell off his horse, he staggered up from the ground. Before he could stand upright, the horse in Li Shimin's hand was already in front of him.  "Erlang, you actually killed me" Li Jiancheng could not believe until his death that his brother could be so cruel.  Li Jiancheng¡¯s eyes widened as his long penis sank into his chest, with a look of disbelief still showing in his eyes.  Li Shimin, with a livid face, twisted the long stick in his hand and threw Li Jiancheng's body to the ground.  But at this moment, he didn't feel much joy In his mind, all kinds of things from his childhood emerged unconsciously On the vast grassland, Li Jiancheng hugged him, rode a horse, and galloped to his heart's content Brother, don't blame me!  The only blame is that you and I were born into an imperial family!  With tears shining in his eyes, Li Shimin slowly put away his long spear.  At this time, Liang Shitai came closer with a hammer and urged his horse. Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, he couldn't help but close his mouth and watch silently.  "Follow me to Tai Chi Palace to rescue him!" After a brief moment of sadness, Li Shimin quickly cheered up.  He turned his head and gently wiped away the tears on his face. He raised Ma Shan high and shouted sternly.  The guards of the East Palace died and surrendered, and they stopped resisting.  Li Shimin ordered Cheng Yaojin to clean up the mess, rushed into the Zhuque Gate with his troops, and galloped away along Chengtianmen Street in the imperial city.  However, no one noticed that shortly after the war at Zhuque Gate ended, a raging fire broke out in Longqingfang in the distance Chengtianmen Street, the main street connecting Zhuque Gate and Chengtianmen.  Entering through Chengtianmen is where Taiji Palace is.  The Suzaku Gate Incident happened so suddenly and ended so quickly that it was over before the other defenders got the news.  At this moment, Li Shimin's heart was filled with joy!  The guard of Chengtianmen is none other than Hou Junji, the general of the third brother King Zhao.  As for the origin of Hou Junji, Li Shimin also knew something about it.  It is said that Hou Junji was originally a general under Dou Jiande. After Dou Jiande was killed, Hou Junji fled to his hometown and prepared to hide his name.  But he didn't want to be captured by Li Xuanba, so he worked under Li Xuanba. Over the past few years, he had repeatedly made military exploits and became a good fighter.  Li Shimin dared to launch the Suzaku Sect rebellion, so he naturally got Li Xuanba's approval.  Otherwise, relying solely on the strength of Tiance Mansion??, Li Shimin may not dare to launch it so blatantly.  But with Li Xuanba, he naturally felt relieved.  Li Xuanba held the Chang'an Forbidden Army and controlled Beiya.  Without Li Xuanba's cooperation, it would be impossible for the imperial army in the city to remain silent until now.  Anyway, the prince and Sanhu are both dead, and the father has only one way to the Zen position.  At this point, Li Shimin has no way out.  If Li Yuan does not take the Zen position, he will be the next unlucky person.  Since he can be so ruthless as to kill his elder brother and brother, next, not even his biological father can stand in his way.  Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a little happy again.  The depression caused by being suppressed by Li Yuan for many years seemed to disappear at this moment.  Chengtian Gate was already in sight. Li Shimin urged his horse to come to the palace city, only to find that the palace gate was closed.  Logically speaking, Saburo should open the palace door?  Why is the door still closed at this time?  In my heart, an ominous omen suddenly appeared.  Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Where is Sanlang?" There were torches burning on the palace city.  In the firelight, as Li Shimin shouted loudly, Li Xuanba's figure appeared in Li Shimin's sight.  I saw Li Xuanba dressed in military uniform, wearing a golden helmet with a twisted lion on his head, wearing golden armor, holding a sword in his hand, looking down at the city with stern eyes.  "Second brother!" "Sanlang, why don't you open the door quickly?" Li Xuanba sighed softly and asked, "Where are the prince and Sanhu?" "Ah?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xuanba in astonishment, his face even more revealing.  A look of surprise.  "Sanlang, what are you talking about?" Li Xuanba showed a look of sadness and shook his head gently, "Second brother, I didn't expect you to be so heartless and crazy. You actually took advantage of the third sister's burial to raise an army to rebelSecond brother, you are too  You disappoint me, how could you do this? Even if Brother and Sanhu are wrong, you shouldn't Listen to me, quickly dismount, put down your weapons, and follow me to plead guilty to Father.  I am willing to guarantee your life, second brother!" Li Shimin shivered "Sanlang, what are you talking about?" "Second brother, when you asked me to borrow troops, you didn't say you wanted to.  Rebellion. If Liang Shitai hadn't sent someone to report just now, I would have almost Second brother, put down your weapons immediately, dismount and surrender. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!" There was a buzz in his head, and Li Shimin was stunned at that time.  Is the young man in front of me still the same Saburo who followed me back then, like his second brother when he spoke, and his second brother when he didn't?  "The most terrifying thing in this world is human lust It can change everything, turn father and son against each other, and make brothers enemies."  He could be ruthless enough to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, so couldn't Li Xuanba plot himself for the throne?  It¡¯s just that this brother is too tolerant Li Shimin doesn¡¯t even know when Li Xuanba started to have the ambition to seize the throne.  Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.  He glanced left and right and found that Liang Shitai was nowhere to be seen.  "Sanlang, what a good method, what a good method!" "Second brother, I say it one last time, get off your horse immediately and get tied up, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." "Sanlang, Sanlang, I always thought you had no ambitions and only knew about military affairs.  Martial idiothehe, but I don't think that among these many brothers, you are the most powerful one" "Second brother, get off your horse immediately!" "But Sanlang, if you want to be a fisherman, you are not that good.  Easy." Li Shimin suddenly took out a firework from his pocket and lit it quickly.  Just three bangs and bangs were heard, and three fireballs shot out from the bamboo tube, shooting straight into the sky, and then blooming in the night sky.  In the distance, there were waves of shouts of killing That was the signal for Qin Qiong to lead his troops and dispatch.  "My sons, follow me!" Li Shimin knew that it was unlikely that he would storm Chengtian Gate by force.  Fortunately, the Suzaku Sect is still in his hands. He can fight his way out of the Suzaku Sect and join Qin Qiong's men before making any plans.  "Second brother, do you still want to leave now?" Li Xuanba suddenly shouted from the top of the city, "Which one of you will take the head of the rebel thief for me?"  Kill two cavalry.  There are two knights on horseback, wearing black helmets, black armor, and black masks One is holding a sword in his hand, and the other is wielding a sword.  They arrived at Li Shimin's side like lightning. One of them used his long spear to challenge the soldiers behind Li Shimin, while the other wielded a broadsword and slashed at Li Shimin viciously."Li Shimin, do you still remember Xue Rengao?" Xue Rengao?  Li Shimin was stunned for a moment!  Isn¡¯t that Xue Ju¡¯s son?  After Xue Ju's death, Xue Rengao proclaimed himself king, but was defeated by Li Shimin and his whereabouts are unknown.  Why, he actually took refuge in Xuan Ba?  Speaking of which, Li Xuanba already had a disobedient heart when Li Yuan established Li Jiancheng as the crown prince in Dingding Pass?  ¡°Unexpectedly, after all his calculations, he ended up taking advantage of the seemingly innocent third child" Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly lost the idea of ??resisting.  He turned around and raised his eyes to look at the slightly thin figure on the Chengtian Gate.  For a moment, my mind went blank "Lao San, did you really win?"  The broadsword spit out cold light, and a burst of blood appeared.  At the moment when Li Shimin's head flew up, the imperial city suddenly burst into flames, and shouts of killing broke out everywhere.  Li Xuanba, who was standing on the Chengtianmen Palace, couldn't help but be stunned.  Not caring about Li Shimin's life or death, he turned around and quickly walked to the inner city palace wall and looked up.  But at this glance, Li Xuanba was shocked and immediately stunned!
