Xuanwumen Incident

Gengshen Day, the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude

In the early morning, there was a drizzle, and the city of Chang'an was hazy. The green willows by the pool were unusually green, with water droplets hanging on the leaves, and silk ribbons hanging down to soak in the water.This burst of drizzle temporarily swept away the scorching heat of the past few days, and the air in Chang'an City was exceptionally fresh.

The servant girl in palace attire came slowly, the steps on her hair jingling, she stopped at the entrance of the hall, bowed respectfully, and said softly: "His Royal Highness, the courtyard has been arranged."

The man stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his young face could not tell that he was almost forty years old, his two sword eyebrows slanting into his temples were slightly frowned, he turned around when he heard the maid's words, sighed softly, and walked slowly out of the hall.

A big bearded bed was placed in the yard, and a small table was placed on the bearded bed. There were pens and inks on the small table, and the fine flower paper exuded a faint fragrance.When the palace people saw him coming, they all saluted him.Just now the maid of honor pushed open the lid of the inkstone and started to grind the ink. Her movements were skillful, and the fragrance of the ink wafted away.

It coincided with today's vacation, and the affairs in the palace were almost handled, so he was able to have a moment of leisure to fiddle with pen and ink.He sat cross-legged on the Hu bed, took out the Langhao brush, rolled up his wide sleeve with his left hand, dipped it into the inkstone, the tip of the brush absorbed enough ink, and turned from pure white to black.

The brush rested on the paper, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, after a little thought, he was about to write.

"His Royal Highness," the palace servant hurried over, fell to the ground during the period, hurriedly got up, and didn't care to pat the dust off his clothes, and continued to run towards Li Jiancheng, "His Royal Highness..."

Li Jiancheng looked at him sideways, his interest was ruined, and his face was stained with sullenness, "Why are you in such a panic?"

"The emperor called His Highness the Crown Prince into the palace."

"What's the matter?" The ink was dry, and Li Jiancheng dipped in the inkstone again, his face calm.

"This... this..." The palace man hesitated, "Your Highness, don't ask..."

Li Jiancheng snorted coldly, and said coldly: "Say." He is usually gentle and doesn't get angry easily, but today he is in a bad mood and wants to vent his anger.

The palace man lowered his head, "Yesterday, King Qin wrote a letter to sue... sue the crown prince, King Qi... who is promiscuous... promiscuous... messing with the harem..."

The ink from the tip of the brush dripped onto the paper, blurring a dark ink dot.

Li Jiancheng slapped the young couple hard, the ink splashed and stained the white clothes, and the palace servants who were waiting were so frightened that they all knelt down. The always gentle prince seldom loses his temper. "Nonsense!" He scolded, not sure if he was talking about the palace man who came to report, or Li Shimin.

"Prepare the horse."

"Here." The palace man took the order and ran out in a hurry.

Li Jiancheng went back to the side hall and changed his court clothes, and when he left the East Palace, he saw Li Yuanji waiting there.The horses are ready, and the order calls for a dozen followers to go with them.He took the reins from the palace man and got on the horse.

As soon as I got on the horse, a sedan chair came up ahead, it was dark red, and the tassels on the top of the sedan chair trembled with the movement of the bearer. , a gorgeously dressed woman stepped out of it.The woman lifted up the pink veil that was hanging down by the scorpion, revealing a beautiful face, but she was Zhang Jieyu, the emperor's favorite.

"His Royal Highness," she lowered her eyebrows and asked, "But you want to enter the palace?"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

"My family is here to persuade Your Highness not to go. The King of Qin has more than a hundred soldiers in armor waiting at the Xuanwu Gate. I'm afraid that he will..." She pursed her lips, and finally did not say the word "seize the throne," Your Highness Don't take any chances."

Zhang Jieyu has a good relationship with Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng has a kindness with her, so when he saw Li Shimin deploying troops at Xuanwu Gate, he was afraid of fraud, so he came to inform Jiancheng.

Her persuasion was in line with Li Yuanji's wishes, so she complied and said, "Brother, this King of Qin is full of tricks. According to my younger brother, it is better to pretend to be sick and stay in the East Palace for a few days. No matter how courageous King Qin is, he would not dare to bring an assassin to kill him Enter the East Palace."

Li Jiancheng looked at it with a nod of his head, with a calm face, and said: "Jieyu is worried, the people of the world are not the ones who framed her brothers, and Kuanggu has a clear conscience. If he doesn't go to the palace to clarify now, he will be the one to talk about it in the future."

After finishing speaking, he urged the horse to go forward, and Li Yuanji had to go with him.This Li Yuanji is the most unattractive among the four brothers of the Li family. To put it bluntly, he is ugly, because he has a blue birthmark slanting across his face, and anyone who sees him for the first time will be shocked.

"Brother, King Qin is no longer the Shimin you knew back then. He has been coveting the crown prince for a long time, and he has done many things in secret over the years. It's just that the eldest brother is innocent by nature, so he can't tell."

"Don't talk nonsense," Li Jiancheng glanced at him, "A few days ago, I was having a good time with the people of the world, talking about all kinds of things, and it was very happy."

Hearing this, Li Yuanji laughed mockingly, and the blue birthmark on his face was torn apart, making him even more terrifying, "Brother, do you know how King Qin and his father described this happy drinking?"

Li Jiancheng looked at him sideways and asked, "How?"

Li Yuanji chuckled twice, "Brother really didn't hear about it, I'm afraid the only one in the world was kept in the dark. Qin Wang said that after drinking with his brother in the East Palace, he came home with a lot of abdominal pain and vomited ten liters of blood." , Eldest brother must have poisoned the wine, and said that elder brother, you are jealous of his great achievements and fear that he will take your crown prince, so you want to get rid of him."

Li Jiancheng didn't care about hearing gossip on weekdays, but now when he suddenly heard his brother say that, it was like a thunderbolt.In his heart, Shimin has always been the boy whose elder brother grew up with his younger brother...but this boy, his own brother, actually slandered his elder brother in this way...

"Brother," Li Yuanji saw that his complexion was not right, and knowing that his words had hurt him, he sighed softly and said, "You have a bad complexion, why don't you go back to the East Palace first?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head, unable to get rid of the depression in his heart, "When it comes to the credit for conquering the country, Shimin is indeed greater than me. He has conquered half of the Li family's country. It is only natural that he is more popular and praised."

Li Yuanji didn't know how to describe his kind-hearted elder brother. He was too generous. He was probably the most stupid prince in history. Great cause.He was indeed worried about this trip to the palace, and felt uneasy in his heart, and he was even more uneasy after hearing Zhang Jieyu's words just now.

The commander-in-chief of the imperial army on duty at Xuanwu Gate today is called Chang He, he is Li Jiancheng's confidant, with him around, Li Shimin will not be allowed to be presumptuous at Xuanwu Gate, thinking of this, I feel a little relieved.

They rode horses, entered the Xuanwu Gate, and walked to the Linhu Hall. Li Yuanji suddenly stopped the horse, and the white horse raised its front hooves and neighed.Li Jiancheng also stopped his horse, puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yuanji frowned, looked around, and looked flustered, "Brother, don't you feel something is wrong? Since we entered the Xuanwu Gate, we haven't seen a guard."

As soon as he finished his words, shouts sounded all around, and hundreds of soldiers in armor and sabers jumped out from behind the bushes, rushing towards them.The subordinates who followed Li Jiancheng immediately drew their swords to fight.

"Brother, run!!" Li Yuanji yelled, drew out his sword and threw his horse in front of Li Jiancheng's horse, "Run."

Li Jiancheng didn't take Zhang Jieyu's words seriously. At this time, the sudden appearance of a hundred soldiers made him startled.

Li Shimin also appeared from behind the bushes, riding a white horse, dressed in golden armor, and dressed up as a military uniform, as if an enemy and us were confronting each other.

Li Jiancheng stared at him fixedly as he raised his bow and raised his arrow... The arrow pierced through the air with a whistling sound and came straight to him, and he heard the sound of his throat bone shattering...

Killed with one arrow.

He died, yes, he died, he was shot with an arrow by his own brother.

He looked at Li Shimin with unbelievable eyes, and fell off the horse, feeling no pain.

Li Shimin was stunned. He thought it was a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that Li Jiancheng only brought a dozen followers, and the battle was over before it even started.He also didn't expect that Li Jiancheng looked at him and stretched his bow, but he didn't hide. He just... looked straight to this side, with those painful and unbelievable eyes.

The bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground, startling the white horse, which roared and galloped forward several meters, but he didn't respond for a moment, the horse got stuck in the tree, and even his people got stuck.

"Brother!" Li Yuanji let out a heart-piercing roar. His eyes were red with blood. Seeing Li Jiancheng fall from his horse with an arrow stuck in his throat, the tail of the arrow was blown by the wind. Blood welled up.

Li Yuanji jumped off his horse, went to Li Jiancheng's side, took the bow and arrow from his horse, and shot three arrows at Li Shimin, but because of the grief in his heart, he missed his aim, and none of the three arrows hit.At this time, he didn't care about anything else, took the bow and ran to Li Shimin's side, and strangled his neck with the bowstring.

Li Shimin was stuck in the tree and couldn't get out, and was strangled by Li Yuanji's neck, his face turned red and he almost died.The tension on his neck suddenly loosened, and he breathed greedily
