Chapter 117: What do you mean by being a brother, come and chop me
Roll, roll, roll...
More than two hundred fully armed knights escorted a black carriage and slowly walked out of the Imperial City from Jiafu Gate. Each of these knights was tall, and their armor was polished and shiny, under the sun.
shining.
It can be seen from the banners carried by these knights that they are all Yiwei under the East Palace, and the leader is the fierce general Xue Wanche, who is the confidant of the current crown prince Li Jiancheng.
The carriage and the knight exited the East Palace from Jiafu Gate and turned right, arriving at the entrance of Yongchangfang in less than two steps.
Yongchangfang is located in the north of Chang'an City, in front of the Imperial City. When Chang'an was still called Daxing, this was where the dignitaries of the Sui Dynasty lived. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, only one or two families lived in Yongchangfang...
Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning and her pendant Chai Shao!
To be precise, taking the East and West Gates of Yongchangfang and the road that crosses it as the dividing line, to the north is Princess Pingyang's residence, and to the south is the residence of Huo Guogong, Princess Pingyang's husband Chai Shao...
One house and one house can truly be said to be rich, honorable, and favored, which lasts forever!
Just as Prince Li Jiancheng's motorcade and knights came in from the west gate of Yongchangfang, they heard a thunderous sound of hooves, and then they saw a group of dozens of knights in black armor galloping in from the east gate of Yongchangfang.
.
These knights on horseback all wore black black armor, and their faces were covered with black masks. Even their cloaks and horses were black, and they ran like a torrent of steel.
Although there are only a few dozen riders, the galloping momentum is like a thousand troops...
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves, this torrent of steel swept through like a mountain torrent, crushing the Yi Guards of the East Palace, causing the few East Palace Yi Guards standing at the front to shrink back involuntarily.
.
Snapped!
Xue Wanche rode up on his horse, struck a cowering Yiwei with his whip, and shouted loudly.
"They won't really come to kill you. You are so scared..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw that the charging black cavalry had already pulled away their horses and spread them to both sides like the wings of a wild goose. A sturdy young man with a curly beard on his chin, a broad forehead, and a vigorous young man was riding a horse.
He rushed out from the middle, turned over and dismounted, clasped his hands in fists, and bowed to the carriage in salute.
"The people of the world have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Second brother, you don't have to be like this..."
When these black armor cavalry just appeared, the black carriage had already stopped; just when Li Shimin turned over and dismounted, the door of the carriage opened; when Li Shimin began to salute, a man who looked very similar to Li Shimin also appeared.
A young man with a beard also happened to step out of the carriage; when Li Shimin finished his salute, the young man walked up to Li Shimin, held his hand, and pulled him up affectionately.
"You and I are brothers, why should we be so solemn? Get up quickly!"
On the long street of Yongchangfang, in front of the Princess Pingyang Mansion, Prince Li Jiancheng, the second most powerful figure in the world, and Li Shimin, the third most powerful figure in the world, held hands affectionately, with brotherly respect written all over their faces.
"Oh no! The relationship between these two brothers is really..."
Seeing such a touching scene between these two people, a little Taoist priest in white standing behind Princess Pingyang expressed heartfelt admiration in his heart.
"The King of Qin gave the Crown Prince a slap in the face when he came up, and the Crown Prince immediately retaliated. Waiting for the King of Qin to bow to the ground, he helped him up, no more, no less, which not only reflected his demeanor but also his humility.
Losing the other party’s face…”
The little Taoist priest gave these two brothers a thumbs up in his heart.
"They are all inefficient lamps!"
That's right, just when Kong Qing arranged everything and came to Princess Pingyang's residence as a guest, he realized that Li Xiuning, the third wife, had not only invited Qin King Li Shimin, but also Prince Li Jiancheng today.
Kong Qing gave Princess Pingyang a thumbs up directly.
The third wife is indeed a hero among women, aren't you afraid that the two brothers will fight directly in your own house?
Of course, this is actually impossible...
It is now the fifth year of Wude, and the conflict between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince has not yet reached the stage of a life-and-death struggle. Now they are basically just making small moves with each other.
For example, you can bribe the other party's confidants; you can secretly pour dirty water on the other party; you can slander the other party as incompetent...
In short, the dispute between the crown prince and the King of Qin in the fifth year of Wude was relatively peaceful. The two sides had to wait until the Yang Wenqian incident in the seventh year of Wude to reach the point where brothers broke up and fought to the death.
"Brother Bishamon, Jiro..."
After Li Jiancheng helped Li Shimin up with a smile, Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning also walked down the steps in front of the mansion with a hint of anger and said in a complaining tone.
"You two are quarreling again. We are all brothers and sisters. Is there anything we can't discuss carefully?"
"Yes, I am wrong!"
Looking at Li Xiuning's displeased face, Li Shimin smiled sheepishly and bowed to Li Jiancheng again. "I shouldn't have bumped into His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"What did you say?" Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning glared at Li Shimin.
"Okay, I shouldn't have collided with the prince brother." Li Shimin quickly changed his words, "Please forgive me, the prince brother!"
"It's okay. Erlang is young and energetic. It's human nature to want to show off." Compared to Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng had a gentle attitude and showed off his eldest brother's attitude. "Things between brothers are nothing to talk about.
Blame it or not."
"now it's right……"
After seeing his two brothers take a step back, Li Xiuning smiled with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hands to embrace them.
"Brother Bishamon, Jiro, please come in!"
Li Jiancheng nodded calmly, and then walked towards the gate of Princess Pingyang's Mansion. Li Shimin did not follow immediately, but looked at Li Xiuning with a surprised look on his face.
"It's strange, little brother, look at Third Sister, why are you different today from the past?"
"It's different..." Li Xiuning looked up and down at her clothes strangely. "What's different about me today? Am I not wearing a military uniform?"
"No, it's not this..."
Li Shimin touched the curly beard on his chin with his hand, looked at Li Xiuning's thoughtful look, and then clapped his hands suddenly. "By the way, third sister, your complexion is different today. You seem to be much more radiant than before.
"
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiuning couldn't help but touch her pink lips with her hands, and turned to glance at a Taoist priest in white who was standing in front of the mansion watching a play.
"Erlang, whatever you say, your face will be radiant. Come, please come inside."
While the three brothers and sisters Li Xiuning were chatting, the East Palace Yiwei and Xuan Jiaqi also dismounted and lined up on the left and right with the gate of Princess Pingyang's residence as the boundary, standing neatly.
"The Tang Dynasty deserves to be called Wude. Look at the military appearance. It is indeed full of Wude."
A certain white-clothed Taoist priest quietly shrank toward the door of the mansion, throwing away identification techniques and making random comments in his mind.
"This is Wang Gongxu... I've never heard of it, oh! He's actually King Qin's undercover agent. Let me see, in a few months he will die because he was drunk and exposed his identity... He deserves it. As an undercover agent, you
How dare you drink!
This is Xue Wanche...oh oh oh, I know this name, it's a famous person.
…
This is... Qiao Gongshan... He is also an unknown person. Oh, he is a young man who was poached by Li Shimin. King Qin is really good at playing, even undercover and poaching...
Let me take a look at this guy again. His name is really weird. It’s actually called Er Zhuhuan. What? This guy is actually an undercover agent sent by Li Shimin to Li Jiancheng, and he’s even become a general?"
Kong Qing wiped his eyes and re-read the information on some Dong Gong Yiwei.
"One, two, three, four, five...these people brought out by Li Jiancheng must be his confidants. Then Pindao randomly selected a few people and actually caught two young men who were bribed by Li Shimin.
Three undercover agents sent by Li Shimin...
King Qin’s tricks are not that profound!”
Kong Qing silently cast a caring look at Li Jiancheng.
No wonder the King of Qin, Li Shimin, was able to hit the Xuanwu Gate with one strike in history. His Royal Highness, your East Palace was penetrated into a sieve by the King of Qin!
Okay, Li Jiancheng, this is really a new version of the ship.
Come and chop me down if you are a brother!
"Look at Xuan Jiaqi's side again. This is Nan Yizhi, another guy I've never heard of. Oh, he will die on the battlefield against Xu Yuanlang this year.
This guy’s name is Zhai Changsun. I’ve never heard of him. Hey, he’s actually the commander of the Xuanjia Cavalry. Is this guy so awesome? Then why haven’t I even heard of him? Oh, I was on the wrong team at Xuanwumen before.
Yeah...
Who is this? Damn it, door god!"

"This is the door god..."
Kong Qing held his chin with his hand and looked at the protagonist of the romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
"Didn't you say that Qin Qiong has a yellow face? He doesn't look that yellow. Compared with the people around him, he seems a bit whiter. Oh, this horse looks very handsome, oh oh, this gun... this should be
It's a gun, oh, it turns out this thing is a horse gun, it looks so thick, the doorkeeper is indeed a fierce general!"
"Qingwei, where are you hiding and what are you doing?"
Just when Kong Qingzheng was standing next to the gate of the Princess Mansion, commenting one by one on the Black Armor Cavalry of Yiwei in the East Palace, the voice of Li Xiuning suddenly came to his ears. He turned around and saw Li Xiuning standing next to Li Jiancheng.
and Li Shimin were waving to him.
"Come this way!"
Kong Qing straightened his clothes slightly, then walked up to Li Xiuning's side and bowed.
"Pindao has met His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Qin, and His Highness the Princess..."
"Brother Bishamon, Jiro, let me introduce you."
After Kong Qing saluted, Li Xiuning patted Kong Qing's shoulder without hesitation.
"This is Qingwei, the current head of Qingdu Temple, and the only disciple of my friend Xuancheng..."
