Li Hongyun looked at the light spot representing King Qin, left the Prince Qin's Mansion, and entered the Tai Chi Hall.
For King Qin, tonight was obviously the most dangerous night in his life.
The first dilemma he had to solve was the celestial event "Taibai Jingtian".
Sure enough, as soon as Liang Gaozu saw the King of Qin, he immediately asked him angrily: "The Taishi ordered a letter, Taibai saw that Qin was divided, and the King of Qin should rule the world. What does it mean!"
King Qin immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My father clearly knows this, but my son really doesn't know! My son has always been loyal to his father, how can he have the intention to conquer the world!"
However, such rhetoric obviously did not satisfy Liang Gaozu.
King Qin obviously had no choice but to play the emotional card, hoping to impress Liang Gaozu.
Li Hongyun, who was watching from the third perspective, couldn't help but frown slightly.
Obviously, the behavior of King Qin here was also buried in the game "Dark Sand".
If Li Hongyun sat idly by and ignored the matter, the father and son would argue and argue without any results, and Liang Gaozu's suspicion of King Qin would only become more serious.
Even an edict will be issued soon to take a series of measures to weaken and attack the King of Qin, and the King of Qin will no longer have any good reason to resist.
And the most important point is: if King Qin continues to be passive like this, Liang Gaozu will not call the prince and King Qi to the palace tomorrow, and then the Xuanwu Gate incident in history will not happen at all.
The premise of the Xuanwumen Incident was that King Qin led his men to ambush the Prince and King Qi at Xuanwumen first.
But if the prince and King Qi did not come to Xuanwu Gate unprepared, but guarded the East Palace fully armed, then the success rate of King Qin's action would be very low.
Because at this time, the prince had far more troops than the Prince of Qin's palace, both openly and legally, and privately recruiting troops.
No matter how good the King of Qin is in fighting, it will be difficult to quickly determine the winner when he is outnumbered.
What's more, once the two sides fight, Liang Gaozu will immediately send the imperial army to suppress it. When the time comes, will Liang Gaozu help the prince or the king of Qin? That's a no-brainer.
Therefore, if a player who doesn't know much about this matter hesitates for a moment and lets King Qin go back like this, the whole situation may completely collapse.
Thinking of this, Li Hongyun did not hesitate and immediately manipulated King Qin to give the answer given by King Qin in history, which was also the only standard answer to this matter.
"Father, I have something important to report!"
The King of Qin did not immediately respond directly to Liang Gaozu's question: "When Taibai sees the division of Qin, the King of Qin should rule the world." Instead, he changed the subject.
Liang Gaozu couldn't help but his face darkened and his brows furrowed deeply.
He could feel that King Qin was interrupting and was unwilling to answer his question directly, but wanted to hear what King Qin had to say.
"explain!"
King Qin knelt on the ground and said in a firm and decisive tone: "I would like to report to my father that there is a quarrel between the prince and the harem!"
Liang Gaozu was stunned for a moment, and then he got angry: "That's nonsense! You framed the prince, and you dared to frame the imperial concubine. How much life do you have! Do you really think that since you are my son, I won't punish you?"
King Qin's tone remained firm: "Replying to my father, I am definitely not making false accusations, I have evidence!
"On the tenth day of last month, my father went out on inspection, and the prince entered Concubine Yin De's palace and left after half a day.
"Also in March of this year, and even until the fifth year of Wude, the prince frequently visited the palaces of the two noble concubines Yin De and Zhang Jieyu every one or two months. If the father didn't believe it, he secretly summoned the maids of the two noble concubines to ask Ask around and you’ll find out!”
Liang Gaozu's expression suddenly froze on his face and he was stunned.
King Qin spoke in succession for a long time, and his tone was firm and conclusive.
Liang Gaozu carefully recalled several of these times and found that he was indeed not in the palace. Moreover, the prince did go in and out of the harem to meet Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De.
But before, Liang Gaozu never cared about it and thought it was a normal meeting and greeting between the prince and these concubines.
But now King Qin listed all the time points one by one, and with such a determined tone, Liang Gaozu himself was stunned.
Li Hongyun, who was watching on the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh secretly. This was indeed the standard answer for King Qin to deal with at the moment.
Liang Gaozu summoned the King of Qin to question him, apparently seeking trouble through celestial phenomena.
Although it is true that "Taibai saw the division of Qin", and the inference that "the King of Qin should rule the world" is also very consistent with the theory of the interaction between heaven and man, things like celestial phenomena still depend on how people interpret them.
If the Taibai Venus happened to fall on Qi at that time, and "the king of Qi should rule the world" was fulfilled, Liang Gaozu's reaction would not be so extreme.
Even Taishi Ling would not report like this at all.
It's hard to say whether Taishi Ling was prompted by the prince or purely out of professionalism.
But in terms of results, the Taibai Jingtian incident handed the Prince Group a sharp knife.
Liang Gaozu was already very suspicious of the King of Qin, and coupled with the Taibai Jingtian incident, he was already at a loss.
No matter how King Qin defends himself, it is impossible to change the facts of Taibai Jingtian.
Therefore, in this trap created by Liang Gaozu, it was meaningless no matter how hard King Qin struggled.
So the King of Qin jumped out of this trap, changed the topic, and attacked the prince for disrupting the harem.
Some historical materials do record that "the prince died after Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei", but Li Hongyun judged based on common sense that the authenticity of this matter was not high.
Because there is really no reason for the prince and these two concubines to get together.
The prince has so many beautiful wives and concubines, there is absolutely no need to seduce his father's women. This kind of behavior can no longer be described as playing with fire, it is completely seeking death.
It is impossible not to leak it at all, but once it is leaked, it may be more serious than rebellion.
Liang Gaozu could tolerate his rebellion, but he might not be able to tolerate him touching his most beloved concubine.
Therefore, the remarks made by King Qin were mostly false accusations.
But false accusation is the only method available at this time.
Several memory fragments of King Qin appeared in Li Hongyun's field of vision.
It's not that the King of Qin didn't have other dirty information about the prince. For example, before, the prince secretly recruited more than 2,000 evil men from Chang'an to form his own private army, named Changlin Soldiers. He also contacted the general guarding Youzhou and asked him to select 300 soldiers. Riding to Chang'an.
The prince has his own legal armed forces. Whether he forms a private army or secretly befriends a side general, it is a very taboo behavior and can even be regarded as treason.
However, after this incident was exposed, Liang Gaozu just called the prince and scolded him.
In Wude's seventh year, the prince made big news. Liang Gaozu went to Renzhi Palace to escape the summer heat, while the prince stayed in Chang'an. As a result, the prince actually sent someone to send armor to Yang Wenqian, who was stationed in Qingzhou.
In ancient times, concealing armor privately was a serious crime, almost equivalent to treason.
Yang Wenqian had previously served as a guard in the East Palace and was directly involved in the formation of the Prince's private army, Chang Lin Bing. Sending armor to Yang Wenqian was undoubtedly an effort to work together on something important.
As a result, the matter was leaked, and Liang Gaozu was angry and summoned the prince for questioning. The prince was frightened and didn't know what to do, and his subordinates even persuaded him to just do the opposite.
But the prince thought about Liang Gaozu, especially the King of Qin, who was eyeing the enemy and winning every battle, and felt that rebellion would be a dead end, so he went to plead guilty.
Liang Gaozu was so angry that he scolded him and even gave him only wheat rice that night. But even so, Liang Gaozu did not do anything to the prince in the end.
On the contrary, Yang Wenqian really raised an army to rebel in Qingyang, and then the King of Qin led his troops there before the fight started. As soon as Yang Wengan's followers heard that the King of Qin was coming, they gave him a hammer and dispersed.
Yang Wenqian was killed by his subordinates and was reported to Chang'an.
However, even so, the position of the prince is still as stable as Mount Tai, without any wavering.
There are historical records that before King Qin went to attack Yang Wenqian, Liang Gaozu once told him that after the peace was settled, he would make him the prince and depose the prince as the king of Shu.
But regardless of whether this piece of historical information is true or false, Liang Gaozu obviously did not fulfill it in the end.
This incident of the prince's rebellion seems to be full of doubts. There are two biggest doubts: first, the prince's rebellion was a bit too childish, and the confidentiality work was too poor, so he was exposed so easily; second, Yang Wenqian was Where did you find the courage to rebel?
Therefore, some people believe that this Yang Wenqian was probably an undercover agent installed by the King of Qin, just to create such a rebellion and naturally dethrone the crown prince.
But upon closer inspection, you will find that this statement is even more impossible.
It is true that the prince rebelled, otherwise he would not have gone to Liang Gaozu to plead guilty. For things like rebellion, if he didn't have the intention, simple frame-up would not be able to achieve such an effect.
And Yang Wenqian was indeed from the East Palace and helped the prince form the Changlin Army.
If Yang Wenqian rebels, he will definitely die. He must know this in his heart.
And judging from the fact that he conspired with the prince to rebel, it was obvious that he was very valued by the prince.
So the question is, if he really belongs to the King of Qin, then he would rather not have the trust of the prince and the glory and wealth he has already obtained, but would rebel and frame the prince, and use his own life or even the lives of his entire family to pave the way for the King of Qin?
This makes no sense, unless King Qin mastered brainwashing techniques.
Moreover, no matter who instigated it, it was indeed the prince who did it to give Yang Wenqian the armor. Even if he is encouraged by others, it is obvious that he wants to do something big.
Therefore, this rebellion seems stupid. The most likely thing is that the prince and Yang Wenqian are just so stupid. After all, there are not only stupid acts of rebellion in history, but many.
In short, after these several incidents, King Qin had no choice but to discover a fact.
That means that no matter how the prince tries to commit suicide, he will be safe and sound.
In this case, if he wanted to threaten the prince and find something that really hurt Liang Gaozu, he could only "evaporate in the palace".
Although the King of Qin did not have much conclusive evidence, he successfully aroused Liang Gaozu's suspicion.
Because the relationship between the prince and these two noble concubines is indeed too close.
The King of Qin has his own base, which is the military merit group. From the soldiers to the generals, everyone has no doubts about him. But the prince couldn't poach these people, so he could only consider other directions.
And these concubines in the harem are indeed important for the prince to make friends with.
The King of Qin had been away fighting all year round, so he was not familiar with these concubines, and he had offended them before due to the Luoyang Treasury incident. The prince often walked around, presented treasures, and often let Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin blow pillows on Liang Gaozu's side.
Therefore, it is true that the prince often visited the palace of the two noble concubines. In addition, the two noble concubines also kept saying good things about the prince in Liang Gaozu's ears. This made Liang Gaozu also suspicious and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter. .
Of course, it is impossible to convict him for this. After all, King Qin did not produce any really strong evidence.
This matter still has to wait until the prince and the concubine explain themselves to each other before the truth can come to light.
Therefore, relying on "Taibai saw the Qin division" and "The prince and the harem were in trouble", the prince and the King of Qin ended up in a draw in this incident.
Seeing that there would be no results, Liang Gaozu decided to let King Qin go back first. Early tomorrow morning, he will summon the prince and King Qi to confront King Qin face to face.
At that time, whether the prince had any trouble with the harem, and what happened when Taibai saw Qin Fen, they would all be settled in the court.
With this counterattack, King Qin not only bought himself one more night, but also gained the opportunity to intercept the prince and King Qi at the Xuanwu Gate at the same time.
…
After King Qin returned to his mansion, countless light spots immediately became busy.
Many of the discussions Li Hongyun saw about the Xuanwu Gate Change basically focused on the details of the Xuanwu Gate Change.
But in fact, the real coup process is often simple and straightforward.
After all, very complex conspiracies and conspiracies often exist in literary and artistic works, while conspiracies and conspiracies in reality are simple and direct.
Because conspiracies always require people to execute them, the more complex the plot, the higher the requirements for execution, and anyone in it may have problems.
Therefore, the key to a conspiracy is simplicity, directness, and efficiency, and to ensure this, efforts must be made in daily preparations.
Judging from the dense light spots in Prince Qin's palace, Prince Qin's preparations were obviously much better than those of the prince.
Of course, this does not mean that the prince was unprepared, or that the prince was at a disadvantage during the coup. In fact, the prince was the one with the advantage.
The military strength of him and the King of Qi was overwhelming to the King of Qin.
The prince's private soldiers numbered more than 2,000, and they were named Changlin soldiers. In addition, the King of Qi should also have private soldiers under his command. There is no historical record of how many there were, but there is a record that he "hid many strong men who were on the run and gave them generously and put them to use." According to common sense, there should be at least several hundred people.
The King of Qin also had his own private soldiers, but the number was about seven or eight hundred.
Yuchi Jingde once said, "More than 800 warriors raised by King Su are now in the palace." This can be used as evidence.
Eight hundred versus three thousand is obviously an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength.
More importantly, the imperial army guarding the entire palace was still theoretically under the orders of Liang Gaozu.
If all these forbidden troops are included, then the gap in strength between the two sides will be even greater.
Moreover, King Qin's goal was not just to use these 800 people to kill the prince and King Qi.
It is not difficult to kill the prince by ambush, but King Qin also has an important goal, which is to control Liang Gaozu.
Otherwise, if the prince and King Qi were killed but failed to seize power from Liang Gaozu, the subsequent problems would be even more troublesome.
Therefore, the King of Qin actually used only a dozen or so men to ambush the Crown Prince and the King of Qi. The remaining men had to complete the task of controlling Liang Gaozu, blocking the imperial army, and supporting the army of the Crown Prince and the King of Qi.
Calculated in this way, King Qin's manpower was even more stretched.
But judging from the results, King Qin's process of completing the Xuanwu Gate change was as delicate as a surgical operation, without any accidents at all, and it was even too simple.
This is obviously because King Qin's bargaining chip is not only on these 800 people, but also on more important things, he has already completed all the matters in advance.
Li Hongyun saw countless light spots patrolling back and forth in the palace. Those were the imperial troops responsible for guarding the palace.
And when observing them at close range, you can often see fragments of their memories popping up.
These memory fragments, almost without exception, are all about the heroic appearance of King Qin they saw when they followed King Qin to fight.
It is no longer just the obedience and trust of soldiers to their generals, but more like the admiration of ordinary people to gods.
When the civil war was basically calmed down, Liang Gaozu disbanded the imperial troops in Guanzhong.
Thirty thousand people were carefully selected from the palace soldiers to form the palace's forbidden army, responsible for guarding the safety of the entire palace. He also gave them the fertile fields next to Baiqu north of the Wei River and named them "Yuan Cong Forbidden Army".
The selection of the Imperial Guards in the past dynasties was the most stringent, and they were basically all sons of good families with innocent backgrounds or orphans of soldiers who died in battle.
There is no big problem with Liang Taizu's behavior. These soldiers in Guanzhong basically made great contributions in the process of Liang Dynasty's conquering the world, and their abilities and loyalty are full. It should be unreasonable to let them serve as the imperial army to guard the palace. What's the big problem?
But the only question Liang Gaozu didn't expect was: Are they more loyal to the emperor or to the King of Qin?
According to historical records, as early as two years ago, in the seventh year of Wude, King Qin had already begun to win over these forbidden troops.
But the effect of this wooing is actually not certain.
He couldn't ask these forbidden troops openly: The king is going to rebel. Do you support me or the emperor? It is even less possible to reveal specific details.
The gold and silver treasures were sent out, and the words were brought, but to what extent these forbidden troops could help him could only be known on the day of the incident.
Among the Forbidden Army, King Qin also focused on developing his own manpower.
There are fourteen guards in the imperial city. Among them, the King of Qin is the general of the twelve guards, which means he nominally leads the twelve guards including the left and right guards, the left and right Xiaowei, the left and right Wuhou, the left and right tuns, and the left and right leaders.
But the problem is that although these twelve guards are nominally obedient to the King of Qin, the King of Qin cannot rely on them to launch a coup. Because among the twelve guards, there are still many people who are more obedient to the emperor's orders.
During a coup, the only people you can rely on are absolutely loyal private soldiers, that is, the eight hundred people.
As for the twelve guards, it is very likely that they will not be able to command on the day of the coup.
Moreover, it is difficult to bribe the people of the Twelve Guards, because they have to take turns, and King Qin himself is not sure when the coup will begin. And if you buy them all, there will be too many targets, and it will be very easy for the news to leak out.
Therefore, King Qin targeted the two guards he had no control over in name, namely the left and right prison guards.
The gatekeeper of the left prison is responsible for entry, while the guard of the right prison is responsible for exit. When entering and leaving, you need to check the door, whether you have permission to enter and leave the palace, and what you need to do when entering the palace. All need to be carefully checked, otherwise the person will not be released.
In particular, Chang He's "Jian'er Changshang" has always been responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate.
Therefore, buying off Chang He is the most critical node for the success of Xuanwu Sect.
The reason why King Qin chose Xuanwu Gate to launch a coup was because except for some very important celebrations and festivals, the south gate of the palace was not open. If you want to enter the palace, you have to take the Xuanwu Gate in the north.
So since Chang He was so important, didn't the prince ever think of buying him off?
Of course I have thought about it, and in name, Chang He is still the prince's confidant and deeply trusted.
Therefore, the prince also thought that he was sure of victory. With Chang He, the Dinghai Shenzhen, at the Xuanwu Gate, if anything happened, he would definitely inform him, so he could rest easy.
But in fact, Chang He had been on the expedition with the King of Qin as early as the second year of Wude. In the seventh year of Wude, he led the Xuanwu Gate and bribed the Imperial Army. He had always been a double agent who only obeyed the King of Qin.
As a result, the King of Qin actually defeated the prince in Changhe and the Forbidden Army, but the prince still knew nothing about it.
This night, the palace of Prince Qin was brightly lit.
Although arrangements have been made in advance, it is still a very difficult task to gather all the people who support you overnight, formulate a complete and thorough plan, and ensure that no one leaks the secret.
In the previous struggle, the prince and King Qi were not idle either.
Although they were unsuccessful in falsely accusing Yuchi Jingde and the generals under King Qin, and were fished out by King Qin, they also continued to slander and asked Liang Gaozu to dismantle the configuration of King Qin's palace.
For example, counselors such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have been transferred out of the Qin Palace by Liang Gaozu.
Executing the Xuanwumen Incident requires a complete and thorough plan, taking into account all trends and situations. This is rebellion, not a child's play. If there is a problem in any link, these people will probably die.
Therefore, King Qin had asked Yuchi Jingde to invite Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others in advance.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui disagreed for the first time, saying that His Majesty's decree prohibits us from serving the King of Qin anymore. We cannot accept the King's teachings, otherwise we will definitely be convicted and die.
So the King of Qin was furious and asked Yuchi Jingde to go forward with his sword. So Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui put on Taoist priests' clothes and entered the Qin Palace.
These people began to intensively prepare for tomorrow's action in Prince Qin's Mansion.
On the other hand, looking at the side of the Crown Prince and King Qi, it was a completely different scene.
The entire Prince's Mansion has actually been infiltrated by King Qin like a sieve. For example, Wang Hao, the prime minister in the East Palace, has been bribed by King Qin. Previously, the prince and the King of Qi wanted to assassinate the King of Qin in Kunming Pool, and it was he who came to report the matter. While the King of Qin was alert, he quickly started planning.
The night before the Xuanwumen Incident, the prince and King Qi were still not alert.
They got the news from sources they trusted and believed that King Qin would not lead troops into the city tomorrow, so they did not take much precautions.
Zhang Jieyu even hurriedly came to the East Palace, called King Qi, and told the prince and King Qi that King Qin had filed a complaint against them in front of Liang Gaozu today, and told them to pretend to be sick tomorrow and not enter the palace, and to rectify the army to prevent unexpected events.
But the prince and King Qi didn't believe it.
Looking back in hindsight, the prince and King Qi lost the most precious opportunity to change history, but based on the analysis of the situation at the time, it was reasonable for them to make such a decision.
Because Zhang Jieyu was just guessing without any convincing evidence.
What's more, the Crown Prince and King Qi didn't only have information through Zhang Jieyu, they had many other channels to get information.
The information they got from these channels made them think that King Qin did not dare to take action in the palace, so they made such a decision.
Obviously, this is not just a coincidence, but a huge gap between the intelligence systems and popular support of both sides.
On one side was the countless light spots of Prince Qin's palace shining like stars, and on the other side was the darkness of Prince's palace. The victory or defeat of both sides was actually determined at this moment.
