Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

"Zhang Shigui listens!"

Li Er's eyes moved to Zhang Shigui.

"Chen is here!"

Zhang Shigui stepped out and bowed.

"You will be solely responsible for the guarding of the Miyagi. Except for the special token I bestow, without my permission, no one is allowed to bring soldiers or weapons into the Miyagi!"

"promise!"

"Li Daozong obeys the order!"

Li Er looked at Li Daozong.

"Chen is here!"

Li Daozong hurriedly stepped out and bowed.

"You are in charge of guarding the imperial city!"

"promise!"

"Yichi Jingde listens to the order!"

Li Er turned to look at Yuchi Jingde.

"Chen is here!"

Yuchi Jingde stepped out and bowed.

"You are in charge of the defense of Chang'an City. Without my will or secret orders, no soldiers or horses are allowed to enter Chang'an City!"

"promise!"

"Cheng Yaojin obeys orders!"

Li Er's eyes moved to Cheng Yaojin.

"Chen is here!"

Cheng Yaojin came out of the queue, bowed and said loudly.

"You and Yuchi Jingde are in charge of the defense of Chang'an City!"

"promise!"

"The orders I issued just now, the ministers must carry out in secret!"

"promise!"

"All these arrangements are purely for a rainy day.

If after the investigation, it is found that the East Palace is fine, I will make another arrangement. "

"promise!"

"Wei Hao listens!"

In the end, Li Er gave Wei Hao the order.

"Chen is here!"

Wei Hao stepped out and bowed.

"You are in charge of using Hegan Chengji, and see if Donggong will attack him!"

"promise!"

……

East Palace.

Li Chengqian and Yixin are drinking and having fun.

Li Yuanchang hurried in without making an announcement.

Lying in Li Chengqian's arms, Yixin was stunned when she saw Li Yuanchang coming in suddenly, and then hurriedly sat down.

Li Chengqian seemed a little dissatisfied when he saw that Li Yuanchang came in uninvited and walked in without notifying him.

Li Yuanchang glanced at Xinxin, expressionless, and said in a commanding tone:

"You go out first!"

Yixin quickly stood up, glanced at Li Chengqian, and then backed out.

Li Chengqian stared at Li Yuanchang, and said lightly:
"What's the matter with Uncle Seven?"

"You don't know yet?"

Li Yuanchang asked back.

Li Chengqian stared at Li Yuanchang questioningly.

"Hegan Chengji has fallen into His Majesty's hands."

Li Yuanchang said in a solemn tone.

"Hegan Chengji?"

Li Chengqian couldn't think of this person for a while.

"Hegan Chengji, was once the hidden guard of the Eastern Palace."

"Hegan Chengji? The secret guard of the Eastern Palace? Oh, I have a little impression. Isn't this person killed by the Seventh Uncle?"

"The person who assassinated him lied to us." Li Yuanchang said with anger in his tone, "Not only was Hegan Chengji not killed, but he even took refuge in Li You."

Li Chengqian frowned.

"Does this person know many of our secrets?"

"That's right! Now that he falls into His Majesty's hands, I'm afraid it will be very bad for us.

I heard that when he was at the execution ground, he told the beheading officer that someone in Chang'an City was planning to rebel, and he wanted to face the saint and tell His Majesty himself.

Obviously, the person he mentioned as a traitor must be His Highness. "

Only then did Li Chengqian realize the seriousness of the matter, his expression changed, and he said anxiously:

"Uncle Qi Wang, what should we do?"

"I came here to discuss this matter with His Highness." Li Yuanchang said.

"Does Seventh Uncle have any countermeasures?" Li Chengqian stared at Li Yuanchang expectantly.

Li Yuanchang shook his head slightly:
"Haven't thought of it yet.

I have already notified Hou Junji, Zhao Jie, Du He, and Li Anyan to come and discuss with them when they arrive. "

"Okay." Li Chengqian frowned and nodded.

After two moments.

Zhao Jie, Du He, and Li Anyan arrived one after another.

They waited for almost half an hour, but did not see Hou Junji appear.

While waiting for Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang told Zhao Jie, Du He, and Li Anyan about Hegan Chengji.

After hearing this, their faces changed drastically.

Everyone scrambles to make suggestions.

Some people suggested killing Hegan Chengji, some suggested preparing for rebellion, and some suggested waiting and watching.

While they were discussing, Hou Junji's son-in-law Helan Chushi arrived.

Helan Chushi reported to Li Chengqian that Hou Junji was ill, and he specially sent Helan Chushi to represent Hou Junji to discuss.

Therefore, Helan Chushi joined in the discussion of countermeasures.

"Your Highness, my father-in-law asked my subordinates to suggest that Your Highness should make preparations to seize the throne as early as possible. Don't wait for His Majesty to be fully prepared before taking action, otherwise you will miss the opportunity."

Helan Chushi said in a quiet voice, cautiously.

"Seconded!"

Li Yuanchang said without hesitation.

"At this point, His Highness must act in advance."

The others nodded in agreement.

Li Chengqian frowned, as if he could kill a few flies.

He looked sad, not knowing what to do.

"Your Highness, please make a decisive decision."

Li Yuanchang continued.

"Your Highness, please make a decisive decision!"

Others chimed in.

"Do you have to go this far?"

Li Chengqian said helplessly.

"Hegan Chengji has informed His Majesty, if His Highness does not seek the throne in advance, there will be no chance."

Li Yuanchang persuaded.

"Your Majesty loves Li Tai very much. If you know that His Majesty is trying to assassinate Li Tai, His Majesty's position as heir apparent will be abolished."

"The father-in-law of the lower official thinks so too." Helan Chushi followed closely.

"Your Highness, we can follow His Majesty's method of launching the Xuanwumen Incident."

Du He looked at Li Chengqian, said in a quiet voice, and seemed cautious.

"His Highness can find an excuse to trick His Majesty to the East Palace, and then start a riot, and respect His Majesty as the Supreme Emperor."

"This plan is advisable!" Zhao Jie first agreed.

"Although this strategy is desirable, His Majesty will not give in easily."

Li Yuanchang said thoughtfully.

"What's more, after controlling His Majesty, Li Tai and his followers will definitely resist.

Apart from Li Tai, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and others were also difficult to deal with. "

"What the King of Han said is absolutely true!" He Lan Chushi agreed with Li Yuanchang.

"Does the King of Han have a better strategy?"

Du He looked at Li Yuanchang with disapproval in his tone.

Li Yuanchang glanced at Du He, and said unhurriedly:
"My king did not completely deny your plan. The plan you mentioned has merits. However, we still need a more detailed plan."

"I would like to hear the King of Han's opinion." Du He said lightly.

Li Yuanchang glanced at Du He again, then looked at Li Chengqian, and said slowly in a low voice:

"Your Highness, we can indeed take the method of the Xuanwu Gate Change, find a reason, and deceive His Majesty into the East Palace to control His Majesty.

At the same time, we want to seize military power, control the imperial city, and control all civil and military officials. "

After a pause, he glanced at Helan Chushi, and continued:
"Hou Junji's help is needed to control the matter of seizing military power."

"The lower officials will convey the words of the King of Han to the father-in-law." Helan Chushi said.

"At that time, you will lead the guards of the Eastern Palace to control His Majesty."

"it is good!"

"As for controlling the imperial city, Li Anyan is in charge."

As Li Yuanchang said, he glanced at Li Anyan.

Li Anyan nodded, expressing that she had no objection.

"At that time, this king will lead the dead soldiers of the palace to deal with Li Tai.

As for Du He and Zhao Jie, they were responsible for leading the dead to guard the main entrance and exit of the palace. "

Du He and Zhao Jun nodded.
