"Your Highness!"
"For the Crown Prince to come to the banquet at this time…I'm afraid that they are up to no good!”Zhangsun Wuji said with a shocked expression.
Actually, everyone could see it.
Normally, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and the others were suspicious of each other.
Let alone inviting him to dinner.
Even if they met, they would feel unhappy if they didn't say a few sarcastic words.
What was going on today?
The Crown Prince had personally sent someone to invite him? How could they not be suspicious?
Although the reason was very good.
Tomorrow, Li Yuanji would personally lead his troops to the northern border.
But…
What did this have to do with him?
Therefore, it was exactly as the old saying went.
There is no good wine, no good banquet.
This was probably a trap.
Li Shi Min understood this, but…he still didn't want to fall out with his big brother and fourth brother.
Even though he had always made outstanding contributions because of her.
He was somewhat arrogant.
Especially in the fourth year of Wude, Li Yuan made him the Heavenly Strategy General and the King of Qin.
His position is above that of the princes.
He was also allowed to set up his own office.
This was supreme authority.
It could be said that in the Great Tang Imperial Court, besides Emperor Li Yuan, there was no one else.
Only Li Shi Min was truly awesome.
In the end.
This made Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji even more wary.
He wanted to get rid of Li Shiming.
Moreover, Li Yuan was indecisive.
He clearly knew that his sons were fighting openly and secretly.
He turned a blind eye.
Perhaps in his heart, even if they fought, what could they achieve?
It was also because of this thought.
This caused the decrees of the court to conflict with each other and indirectly sped up the war between the philosophers.
"Your Highness, it's better not to go!"
"That's right, Your Highness, this trip will be a narrow escape…"
"Your Highness…"
For a moment, the other strategists in the literature hall were all stunned.
They also advised Li Shimin not to attend today's banquet.
However, in the past, when they fought on the battlefield.
Li Shimin, who had repeatedly defeated all kinds of rebels, had seen all kinds of scenes.
How could he be scared away by such a banquet?
In the future, if word got out...
He would lose all face…
"So what if the Crown Prince and King Qi want to harm me?" he sneered.”
"On the battlefield, I also had a narrow escape. Today, I'm afraid of my own big brother and fourth brother? Wouldn't we be laughed at?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do. Let Jing De accompany me to the banquet tonight!”
"This…"
For a moment.
Everyone fell silent.
They looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Only Zhangsun Wuji frowned.
His eyes darted around as if he was thinking of a plan.
A moment later.
" Your Highness," he hurriedly stepped forward and said softly," Do you still remember the letter Lin Qiu, the general of Youzhou City, asked me to bring to you a few months ago?"”
"Why don't you bring it with you and open it at the banquet to see what's written in the letter?”
Hearing this.
Li Shi Min suddenly remembered.
A few months ago, he had Zhangsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin.
He secretly went to Youzhou City in the north.
He was going to see if the sweet potatoes and potatoes really existed and how much they produced.
When he returned, Zhangsun Wuji personally passed the letter to Li Shimin.
He also entrusted Lin Qiu's words to him.
Don't open the letter unless you have no other choice.
In the past few months.
Although Li Shi Min, the Crown Prince, and King Qi had always been fighting openly and secretly.
However, it was not the time when he had no other choice.
But tonight was different.
Zhangsun Wuji was certain that if Li Shiming really went to the banquet.
He would definitely be doomed.
This was the time when he had no other choice.
Li Shi Min nodded, his expression suddenly understanding. He turned around and ordered a servant to bring the letter over.
After that.
Li Shimin carried the letter with him.
It was getting late.
He took Yuchi Gong and rode away from King Qin's mansion, heading straight for the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
…
In the Eastern Palace.
It was the palace where the Crown Prince lived.
Usually, after the princes came of age, they would be sent to their fiefs one by one.
If he was not summoned, he would not be allowed to return to the capital easily.
At the very least, people like Li Shimin and King Qi Li Yuanji would have to live outside the Imperial Palace.
Only the Crown Prince had the right to live in the palace.
Furthermore, the Eastern Palace was specially set up for him to facilitate his future and handle state affairs.
Tonight.
The Eastern Palace was bustling with music and dance.
In the dark, they were filled with killing intent.
Anyone could tell that the Eastern Palace was a little unusual tonight.
Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji.
There was also Prime Minister Pei Ji, Advisor Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Xue Wanche.
He drank and ate.
While watching the song and dance.
A servant hurried in.
"Your Highness, the King of Qin has arrived!”
"Oh?"
Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned at first, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.
After that.
He raised his hand and sent the dancers away.
"Hurry!"
"Please come in, King Qin!"
"Here!"
The servant bowed and hurried out.
At this moment, everyone present looked at each other.
They were all Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's men.
Even Prime Minister Pei Ji had always supported Li Jiancheng.
When they heard that Li Shimin had arrived…
All of them had a strange look on their faces.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji exchanged glances.
At this moment.
Two people walked in from outside the hall.
When they appeared under the light, it was Li Shi Ming.
And behind him, there was a person wearing armor…Yuchi Gong.
Yuchi Gong was Li Shi Min's trusted aide.
Even though Yuchi Old Hei had almost taken Li Shi Min's life.
However, it had to be said that after he submitted.
He was also loyal to Li Er.
He had a fierce appearance and a dark complexion.
After entering, he didn't smile.
Instantly.
Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and the others felt their hearts thump.
However…
A moment later, Li Jiancheng laughed loudly.
He walked around the table and walked towards Li Shimin.
"Hahaha…what did I say? Just now, you said that my second brother wouldn't be here today. Hmph, how can I not understand my own brother?”
"Public is public, private is private, how can we mix them up?”
"Come, Shimin, come to the seat!"
Li Jiancheng laughed and pulled Li Shimin into the hall.
Li Shi Min smiled.
When they walked to the main seat, they sat down separately.
Only that Yuchi Gong.
His expression was still extremely solemn.
He stood behind Li Shimin and didn't sit down.
It was as if he was a personal guard.
When Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and the others saw this, they felt a little unhappy.
With him around…the plan would not be easy to carry out!
