It's midnight.
The other princes all slept like dead pigs, and Li Tai was still hanging on his head and stabbing his buttocks.
Yes, there was an awl shining with cold light next to him. When he fell asleep, he would hit it on his thigh and his mind would suddenly clear up.
Her hair was tied up with a rope, and her bright little eyes were looking at "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in front of her and thinking about human nature.
Although he has read "The Art of War" countless times and can even recite some of its contents, he will have different insights every time he reads it.
Swish, swish, swish...
Pick up the brush and quickly write down your feelings.
"Your Highness, Your Highness... Your Majesty wants you to go there."
"Come in and talk."
The person who came was the deputy commander of the secret guard. Li Tai knew this person, but he was very confused, why did his father ask him to see him in the middle of the night?
The deputy commander of the secret guard looked at Li Tai's appearance with a strange expression.
Li Tai didn't care, he had to do this in order to kill his eldest brother and third brother.
He took his hair off the rope, tidied it up, and asked, "Did something big happen?"
"I don't know, but I'm asking the King of Yue to follow me to the Liangyi Palace. The other princes and princesses will also go."
The King of Yue was extremely confused, but he was sure that something big was going to happen tonight.
"Vice Commander, wait a moment, I will go change my clothes."
He walked into the bedroom, dug out a piece of silver soft armor, quickly put it on, then put on wrist and knee pads, and hid a dagger in the cuffs.
After thinking for a while, he returned to the cabinet, took out a packet of medicinal powder, and put on a pair of boots made of cowhide. These boots were not simple, they were made of hard material, and there were sharp knives on the toes, which were good things to save your life.
"Vice Commander, let's go!"
The deputy commander watched for a long time. Did the King of Yue change his shoes when he returned?
When the two came outside, the other princes touched their eyes, yawned, and cursed.
What a lunatic. Even in the middle of the night, you won’t let anyone sleep.
The study tasks are so heavy during the day, and the martial arts practice has to be done before dawn in the morning. Even in the middle of the night, people can't stop.
Damn it, they are not emperors, so why torture them like this.
"Fourth brother, what's going on?"
The other princes gathered around Li Tai, and Li Tai rolled his eyes: "You'll know when you go to Liangyi Palace, right?"
A group of princes, escorted by the deputy commander and a few others, finally arrived at the Liangyi Palace.
Li Tai looked at his father wearing a battle armor and holding a long sword. There were personal guards on the left and right, and there were thousands of Jinwu Guards and Qianniu Guards standing below.
Is this... a rebellion?
Holy shit!
Who the hell is so brave and dares to rebel at this time? Isn’t this life-threatening?
At this moment, in the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that the military has reached an unprecedented moment, and it will destroy a country at every turn to add to its prosperity.
The people stationed around Chang'an City are all the best of the best, especially the Xuanjia Army, the father's personal army, which is the ace among aces, known as the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.
"Father, who rebelled?"
"My son is willing to follow my father to exterminate the traitors."
Li Tai stepped forward and knelt on the ground and asked.
"Go back to the main hall and wait, otherwise you won't know how you died. If you kill the traitor, the traitor will come to kill you." Li Shimin looked at his sons now and felt angry in his heart.
ah?
Li Tai was stunned. Why kill him?
He is just a fourth prince who is not loved by his uncle and his parents.
But he still stood up obediently, turned back three times with one step, and walked into the hall. The other princes shrank in fear and followed closely behind Li Tai.
Li Shimin was waiting, waiting for Li Ke, the filial son, to send him news. After "attacking" the Changsun Mansion, he could take his people to act... to save the situation.
At the same time, I also want to knock Changsun Wuji. Why do you, the uncle-in-law, raise so many dead soldiers when you have nothing to do?
A wave of people had been burned to death before, but now there are still so many.
Humph, do you want to imitate Wang Mang and usurp the throne after my death?
Now that he, Li Shimin, is still alive, and the queen is still alive, he would not dare to give Changsun Wuji a hundred courages, but what if he leaves first, Changsun Wuji?
…
Changsun Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, only to find pairs of eyes staring at him, especially Changsun Chong's, which was pressed closely against his face, as if he was looking at something.
Changsun Wuji was startled: "You... what are you doing?"
"Father, what's wrong with your ears? Why are they beating all the time... they're as red as a monkey's butt..."
Others also nodded heavily.
Changsun Wuji touched his ears and found that they were very hot.
What's going on here?
"Go, go, maybe the basement is too dark and damp, and it's infected with wind and cold."
But he was murmuring in his heart, damn, is that bastard talking about him secretly?
It must be the bastard King Shu!
"By the way, how's it going outside?"
Just as he said this, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and then he saw Wang De at the entrance of the passage.
"Oh, Eunuch Wang, you finally came to the rescue."
"This damn King of Shu scared me to death. My lord, what on earth is the King of Shu going to do?"
Prince Li Chengqian also stood up quickly, his nervous mood finally relieved.
"Eunuch, my father's soldiers and horses have come to the rescue?"
"The King of Shu wants to murder me. He wants to rebel... He must be killed."
Before Eunuch Wang could catch his breath, everyone was asking endless questions.
He was extremely irritable, "My dear mother, you little brats are really worrying me to death."
He took a carriage from the palace all the way to Changsun Mansion, feeling frightened.
Do you know how our family survived this journey?
The old slave will be forty-eight years old after this year. The moment he entered the Changsun Mansion, he almost turned forty-seven.
Two arrows as thick as fingers were shot at his feet. He would have become disabled by just a little bit.
This was what he had shouted several times outside the gate, that he was the prince sent by His Majesty.
Damn it, shoot him?
Thinking of this, Wang De was also very angry and prepared to take revenge on Changsun Wuji.
"Lord Sikong, what do the Changsun Mansion want to do? Our family has already revealed their identities just now, and your people shot an arrow at our family, almost killing us."
"Shoot our family to death and we will consider ourselves unlucky. But are you really going to be that traitorous traitor?"
Changsun Wuji's lips twitched, and he quickly stood up and saluted: "Sorry, in this critical moment, I must protect the safety of the prince. The prince is the foundation of the country and nothing should happen to him."
"My lord, please tell me what your majesty means!"
Wang De finally regained his composure, clapped his hands, straightened his body and said, "Your Majesty has spoken, and everyone has accepted the order."
Everyone bowed and listened attentively to His Majesty Wang Dechuan's oral instructions.
"Your Majesty said that the people of Changsun Mansion should not resist and let the people of King Shu come in."
What the hell?
Everyone suddenly raised their heads and stared wide-eyed. They couldn't believe it. Changsun Wuji directly thought that Wang De had been incited by the King of Shu to rebel, and they were all ready to kill Wang De.
"Lord Sikong, come here. Your Majesty has something to say to you alone."
Changsun Wuji's heart was pounding, but he still put down the knife in his hand.
He slowly raised his steps and walked towards Wang De doubtfully.
The prince sat directly on the ground. Did his father really want to make King Shu the prince? Are you going to ask the King of Shu to kill him directly?
The prince's face turned pale and his head was buzzing.
Wang De whispered: "Your Majesty said that Qiwang of the Five Surnames took action. The mastermind behind this incident was the Zheng family of Xingyang. His Majesty asked you to accompany him in a play. He asked you not to resist and let the people of the King of Shu come in." , and then you pretend to kill the King of Shu."
Changsun Wuji was shocked. As he had guessed, Qiwang of the Five Surnames declared war on His Majesty.
But what is your Majesty's purpose in doing this?
Could it be that His Majesty wants to use the excuse of losing the King of Shu to attack the Zheng family?
But this doesn’t work either!
The five surnames and Qiwang are intertwined and have influence all over the world. The seven families are like one family. When dealing with the Zheng family in Xingyang, aren't you afraid that other families will target your majesty together?
Then there will be big trouble.
"The oral message has been passed down to you. Your Majesty said that when the King of Shu enters the Changsun Mansion, he will lead an army to come to the rescue. Lord Sikong does not need to worry."
Changsun Wuji looked ugly, what about the group of dead soldiers he raised?
King Shu, this damn little beast!
You tricked me again!
Now even if you want to send the dead soldiers out, there are people from the King of Shu outside, and you will die if you go out.
But when Your Majesty comes, how can we explain these two hundred dead soldiers?
