2nd of June, night.
In the Heavenly Policy Prefecture, dozens of generals had gathered together, and the air was filled with a heavy killing intent.
The Second Prince of the Great Tang, the King of Qin, and the General of the Heavenly Policy Office, Li Shimin, wore a golden armor and a brocade robe. He stared at the generals with grief and indignation.
"Everyone, the Crown Prince is unkind and King Qi is unjust. This king thinks of brotherhood, the righteousness of monarch and minister, and has been patient again and again. King Qi's anger was piqued as he attempted to resolve the Crown Prince's grievances.”
"However, the two of them took advantage of the situation and tried to frame our two thousand Heavenly Policy soldiers for treason.”
"His Majesty's treacherous officials are in power, colluding with the Crown Prince and King Qi to distort right and wrong.”
"Fellow brothers, now that we are facing such a desperate situation, what do you think this king should do? Should he surrender and let the traitor disrupt the court, or should he escape overseas and spend his life?”
Li Shi Min's speech immediately aroused the anger and pride of the dozens of soldiers who had been suppressed for a long time.
"The Emperor has been deceived by a traitor. We are not willing to wait for death. We are willing to remonstrate with the army to revitalize the court.”
"King Qin, please give the order to get rid of the crafty sycophants and wash away all the shame.”
…………
"This Li Er is indeed a rare monarch in thousands of years. His impassioned speech actually made my blood boil.”Xiang Yu, who was wearing the Goose Feather Armor, listened to the angry roars of his colleagues beside him. An unprecedented heroic spirit surged in his heart.
Just as Xiang Yu was sighing, Li Shimin issued his orders one after another.
"Zhangsun Wuji, you, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui will guard the Heavenly Policy Manor. I'll give you twenty scouts to relay urgent military matters at any time.”
"I accept your orders." The three bowed and left.
At this moment, Gao Shilian, who was dressed in Confucian robes, walked out and reminded,"" King Qin, although Chang 'an City is in the east, west, and north, we still need capable people to guard it just in case.”
"Mr. Gao is right." Li Shi Min was shocked and continued to order.
"Liu Zhenghui, guard the west gate of Chang 'an Fortress.”
"I accept your orders."
"Zhang Gongjin, guard the north gate."
"I accept your orders.“
"Qu Tutong, guard the north gate."
"I accept your orders."
"The three of you guard the city gate. Before noon tomorrow, even if the army outside the city calls for battle, you are not allowed to open the city gate.”Li Shi Min's eyes were filled with killing intent as he requested.
"Yes, King Qin, we swear to die with the city gate.”
Everyone knew that the 200,000-strong army outside Chang 'an City was now in the hands of the Crown Prince and King Qi.
If these soldiers were allowed to enter Chang 'an, even if 2,000 of them were powerful, they would not be able to resist the hundreds of thousands of Tang elites outside the city.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling also walked out." King Qin, the general guarding the south gate of Chang 'an is the younger brother of Noble Consort Zhang. He is His Majesty's man... Although this person usually accepts a lot of bribes from us, we can't completely trust him.”
Du Ruhui was also worried."This person is greedy. I'm afraid he was just pretending to be polite to us. According to the information he had gathered, this fellow had apparently received a Yangzhou thin horse from King Qi a few days ago.”
Li Shi Min's expression was gloomy as he sighed helplessly,"But he's His Majesty's man…If we touch him, wouldn't we be rebelling?”
"Qin Wang, do you remember the fate of the Western Chu Overlord? Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times must not be soft-hearted.”Gao Shilian also stood up and advised.
Cheng Yaojin shouted,"King Qin, what are you hesitating for? Send someone to kill that guy and replace him with one of our people."”
"King Qin, I am willing to be the vanguard and swear to kill that filthy Zhang Yong.”
…………
All the generals begged for orders, and their words were sincere.
Li Shimin hesitated for a while and finally said,""Then let's change it to Zhang Yong. When this matter is over, this king will ask Imperial Father and Noble Consort Zhang for forgiveness.”
The generals in the hall were delighted when they heard this.
As a result, the entire Chang 'an Fortress was under the control of the Heaven's Policy Army.
"Then who will go and 'subdue' that Zhang Yong?”Li Shi Min inspected the generals again.
This time, all the generals fell silent.
Although they were all willing to sacrifice their lives for the King of Qin, the real highlight was to go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow to remonstrate. Only there could they make outstanding contributions.
Cheng Yaojin thought of something and walked out."Your Highness, Zhang Yong and Hou Junji are from the same village and have a good relationship. We can send Hou Junji.”
Li Shimin was overjoyed and turned to Hou Junji."General Hou, are you willing to make a trip on behalf of this king?”
Hou Junji couldn't help but grimace as he inwardly cursed Cheng Yaojin for his shamelessness. Who said this fellow was thick-headed? He was simply very shrewd.
One could imagine that this task was simply a thankless one.
The general guarding the city, Zhang Yong, was the Emperor's man. Moreover, he would definitely not surrender without a fight. He could only kill him on the spot.
In this way, if he succeeded, the King of Qin would definitely punish him a little in order to give the Emperor an explanation.
Hou Junji wanted to refuse, but when he saw Li Shimin's expression change, he could only agree."I accept your orders."
Although he was furious, he couldn't flare up.
But Hou Junji was a crafty man, and he suddenly had an idea.
He couldn't help but stride forward." King Qin, that Zhang Yong is also a valiant general. I'm not afraid of him." However, just in case, I would like to ask someone to lend me a hand.”
Li Shi Min thought of Zhang Yong's martial arts and nodded,""Alright, who do you want?"
"It's the sixth grade commandant Xiang Yu. With this child helping me, Zhang Yong will definitely be captured.”Hou Junji's eyes were like scorpions as he stared at Xiang Yu.
"No, this child will follow this king to the palace tomorrow to 'meet the Saint'.”Li Shi Min refused without hesitation.
Hou Junji's face turned ashen. The nervous Cheng Yaojin finally calmed down.
Who knew that Xiang Yu, who was standing at the back, would walk out."Qin King, please allow me to go with General Hou to persuade Zhang Yong. I promise to rush back immediately after this matter is over and not delay tomorrow morning's court session.”
Hou Junji was overjoyed."Commandant Xiang's loyalty is commendable.”
Li Shi Min hesitated. He really liked Xiang Yu. Moreover, the matter of entering the palace tomorrow was very important. There must not be the slightest mistake. With this kid following him, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.
"This general has made a military pledge to return to Prince Qin's mansion in the middle of the night.”Xiang Yu was afraid that Li Shimin would not agree, so she asked again.
He was worrying about how to achieve the achievement of killing a hundred people tonight! If he stayed in the Heavenly Policy Prefecture, wouldn't he fail both the main and side missions?
Although he knew that Hou Junji didn't have good intentions, he had fused with the West Chu Overlord's heroic soul, so he didn't care about Hou Junji's schemes.
In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and plots were paper tigers.
