Seven days later, in the Eastern Palace.
"Big brother!" Li Yuanji said anxiously. Hurry up and make a decision. If you continue to hesitate, Li Changqing really won't be able to control him!”
On the main seat, Li Jiancheng slowly drank his tea, his eyes flickering.
"It has only been a few days since the opening of the Heavenly Policy Office, and they have already recruited dozens of talents! Big Brother, Li Jing and Du Ruhui, whom you value, have entered the Heavenly Policy Manor!
Li Changqing's 80,000 white robed soldiers were unparalleled in the world. In addition, he is now recruiting talents wantonly and his power is growing stronger. Big brother, can you really sit firmly on the position of Crown Prince?
He did not have the heart to fight for the throne now, but people's hearts would change! Even our second brother, Li Shiming, who is from the same mother as us, now sees us as enemies, let alone Li Changqing, this adopted son!
80,000 white-robed soldiers were stationed outside Chang 'an City to protect it. Once he had the intention to force the abdication and rebel, who could stop him?
Big brother! If you don't make a decision, you'll be in trouble! If you don't make a decision now, it'll be too late!"
Li Yuanji's voice became more and more agitated, and the last two sentences were almost shouted out.
"Kacha!"
Li Jiancheng crushed the teacup in his hand. His face was so dark that water was about to drip out. It was extremely ugly.
His eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Policy Prefecture in the east, and he didn't say a word.
After a long time, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes as he slowly spat out a few words,
"Sixth brother, Changqing, is the leader of the three armies. He has the courage of an overlord and has made great contributions to Imperial Father.
However, people's hearts were fickle. His mistake was that he had the strength to force the abdication and rebel!
As long as Li Changqing is not removed, my position as Crown Prince will not be stable.”
As he spoke, there was a bang. Li Jiancheng suddenly sat up from his chair, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Men! Quickly summon Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche to the Eastern Palace for a meeting!”
……
Heavenly Policy Prefecture, Martial Arts Practice Field.
Li Changqing monopolized Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Qin Qiong as he brandished his halberd. His attacks were fierce, and he actually had the upper hand in a one-on-three battle, making Cheng Yaojin and the other two miserable.
After barely fifteen minutes, Cheng Yaojin flashed out of the battlefield and shook his aching arm."
"Let's not fight anymore. General is invincible. We are not his match at all. It's too boring to fight.”
Cheng Yaojin jumped out of the battlefield, and everyone stopped.
Qin Qiong laughed and said,"Everyone says that General's horse is the best in the world, but they don't know that General's foot is even more valiant." Back when the Emperor revolted, the general and Princess Ping Yang sold their properties and provided relief to the victims. They quickly raised an army of more than 30,000 people, defeated the Sui army many times, and occupied a large area of Guanzhong.
In one of the battles, he faced the number one general of the Sui army, Yuwen Cheng. Zhijie, Jingde, you two didn't follow the general back then, but I saw it with my own eyes. The general killed Yuwen Cheng with three halberds, and the soldiers under him were so powerful that they defeated the 50,000 Yuwen soldiers in one fell swoop, laying an indelible credit for His Majesty's advance into Chang 'an.”
As soon as Qin Qiong mentioned this, Cheng Yaojin's face revealed a yearning expression. He sighed and said,""Killing Yuwen Cheng with three halberds, how glorious would that be? It's a pity that I didn't witness it with my own eyes. It's a great regret in life!”
Yuchi Gong also sighed, his heart filled with yearning.
Just as everyone was talking about Li Changqing's past glory, Li Jing rushed to the martial arts field.
"General, the Crown Prince has informed His Majesty that he wants Princess Ping Yang to marry Chai Shao!”
Hearing this, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong's expressions changed drastically, and they all turned to look at Li Changqing.
Li Changqing's face was as still as water." Prepare the horses," he said." I want to enter the palace."”
"General!" Li Jing quickly said. The relationship between the Heavenly Policy Manor and the Eastern Palace has always been tense…"
He was interrupted by Li Changqing.
"I don't care how he usually targets me and ostracizes me. But he knew about my relationship with Xiu Ning, but he suggested to Imperial Father to marry Xiu Ning to Chai Shao. I can't tolerate this!"
After saying that, he turned around and mounted the Wind Chasing Horse that Yuchi Gong had brought over, heading straight for the Imperial Palace.
……
The Great Tang Imperial Palace was made up of three parts.
Taiji Palace was in the middle, and the Eastern Palace and Yeting Palace were on the left and right.
Taiji Palace was the political center.
The Eastern Palace was where the Crown Prince lived, while the Yeting Palace was where the palace maids lived and where the families of the criminals worked. Xuanwu Gate was the north gate of the palace.
There were palace gates in the north, south, east, and west of the imperial palace.
The main gate was the Gate of Heaven Influence in the middle of the south wall, where the emperor held the grand ceremony of the outer court.
To the east is the Tongxun Gate, which leads to the Eastern Palace.
To the west are Jiayou Gate and Tongming Gate, leading to Ye Ting Palace.
The north gate was the Black Tortoise Gate.
Xuanwu Gate was located on the slope of Longshou Plain, which was the highest point of the Imperial Palace. Standing on the Xuanwu Gate, one could overlook the entire Chang 'an Fortress. Military status was very important.
When the emperor summoned his subjects into the palace, they all passed through the Xuanwu Gate.
At this moment, the Black Tortoise Gate was filled with a murderous aura.
Two armies were stationed in the Great Tang Imperial City to protect it.
On the south side of the palace, there was a group of Southern Yamen soldiers made up of sixteen guards.
To the north of the palace were the palace guards, also known as the imperial guards.
The Xuanwu Gate was an extremely important city gate in the military. It was guarded by both the South Ya Army and the North Ya Army.
The generals of the Black Tortoise Sect were the generals of these two armies, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, as well as the general of the Black Tortoise Sect, Chang He.
The three of them did not belong to each other but interfered with each other, thus preventing anyone from having evil intentions and threatening the safety of the Black Tortoise Sect.
Li Jiancheng used all means to deal with these three people without alerting anyone. He then transferred the Changlin soldiers of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace to the Black Tortoise Sect to ambush Li Changqing!
On the walls of the Black Tortoise Gate, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stared at the road ahead with solemn expressions.
"Fourth brother, the border is tight, and the Turks are eyeing us outside. It would be better to ask Imperial Father to send him to Youzhou to defend against the Turks.”
Li Jiancheng thought of Li Changqing's domineering and majestic posture that dominated the three armies and could not help but feel timid.
Li Yuanji saw his timid heart and quickly said in a deep voice,"Big brother, there is no turning back! Ever since he was young, his father had doted on Li Changqing.
Now, nearly half of the generals in the court listened to his orders. In addition, his prestige in the army could not even be compared to his father!
If Imperial Father has any disloyalty after a hundred years, you will never be able to sit firmly on the throne!
Moreover, his second brother was also eyeing the crown prince's position covetously!
Even if Li Changqing didn't have any disloyalty, he had a good relationship with his second brother. Once he helped his second brother, the situation would be overturned again!
The only plan now was to ambush and kill Li Changqing. Before his second brother could react, he would take control of the Imperial City at lightning speed and force his father to abdicate.
Only then will the situation be in our hands!”
Li Jiancheng took a few deep breaths, his eyes shining brightly.
"Li Changqing, you forced me!"
