Datang: Starting from Li Jiancheng

Chapter 1 Li Shimin's Sword Points at the Xuanwu Gate
In the ninth year of Wude, on the fourth day of June, Qin Wangfu.

The night was as dark as ink, and the banners in the courtyard were blown by gusts of evening wind, making a sound of hunting.

The bleak moonlight shone in front of the hall, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

A handsome young man dressed in white kept pacing in front of the hall, looking from time to time at the closed vermilion door not far away, with an anxious look on his face.

His name is Luo Bin, and his courtesy name is Lifu.He is the younger brother of the heroic general Luo Shixin.

He has been here for eight years.

Eight years ago, in the night of the Nine Stars in the year when Emperor Sui Yang passed away, consciousness possessed this waste that had never been noticed before.

You can't lift your shoulders, and you can't carry them with your hands.It can be called a waste person.

Even so, he still relied on his outstanding talent and knowledge gained from later generations to achieve great fame and unparalleled military exploits in the early Tang Dynasty.

Because he knew things like a god and defeated the enemy without any calculation, he was named Wuhou.

On the first day of June of this month, Luo Bin suddenly remembered that the exact date of the Xuanwumen Incident is today!
So, he drove a hundred miles and returned to Chang'an overnight to report to Li Shimin.

"Lifu, even if what you guessed is true, the crown prince and Yuanji are only targeting me. I'm not in a hurry, why are you so anxious?"

After listening to Luo Bin's explanation, Li Shimin frowned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

The civil servants sitting beside him couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Luo Bin's eyes turned cold, and his eyes skipped over Li Shimin who was at the top, and glanced at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Shinan and others who were laughing one by one.

"If today's matter fails, then not only the people of the world, but your body will be buried in a different place, the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and other civil and military personnel will all be buried with you!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room froze in laughter!

Although everyone knew that the prince and Li Shimin were at odds with each other, they really didn't believe in the idea of ​​killing his brother and eradicating the roots. Li Jiancheng was so indecisive that he could do it.

But thinking of Luo Bin's previous accurate predictions, everyone had to take it seriously.

Take the previous battle at Hulao Pass as an example. In that battle, almost everyone did not think that Dou Jiande, who was dominant in Hebei, would send troops.

On the other hand, Luo Bin advocated and suggested that Li Shimin be in command. He himself was the vanguard, and in the first battle, he used [-] troops to defeat the two major woes of the Tang Dynasty.

But after suppressing Dou Jiande, his elder brother Luo Shixin died in Gucheng because Li Yuan refused to listen to his advice.

"Shimin, if you think about it, things may not have reached the level that Risuke thought."

Changsun Wuji, who had been frowning and thinking, suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Bin with a cold expression.

Li Shimin's eyes swept over Changsun Wuji and Luo Bin's two most trusted friends, Wen and Wu, his brows were slightly frowned, and he fell silent.

"King Qin, two thousand Beiwei troops have already arrived outside the city! Don't stop, you will be subject to chaos!"

Luo Bin couldn't help admonishing him.

"King Qin?"

Li Shimin frowned even more when he heard this title that was rarely spoken from Luo Bin's mouth, and the two thousand Wei troops on his back.

"Bold! Luo Lifu, do you still dare to coerce the King of Qin?! If the King of Qin doesn't take action, how dare you personally lead your Beiwei army to force the palace?!"

Changsun Wuji, who heard the unfinished meaning of Luo Bin's words, immediately scolded him angrily.

"Enough! Stop arguing, Lifu, let me think again..."

Li Shimin got up suddenly, and when he turned his back, his eyes couldn't help being cold.

After a long time, Li Shimin raised his head and stared at the roof with a slightly bitter tone.

"Lifu, did you really bring back two thousand Beiwei troops?"

Back Wei's army, with one against a hundred, is recognized as the strongest soldier in the world today!

At the beginning, Li Shimin personally led the Xuanjia Army established by Luo Bin to fight hard for half a year but failed to put down Liu Heitai.

However, after borrowing the Beiwei army and using it as the vanguard, Liu Heita lost one hundred thousand elites in World War I!

More importantly, Bei Weijun only recognized Luo Bin and no one else!

Luo Bin was taken aback, feeling sad.

It was in vain that I worked so hard to help Li Shimin give advice.

But because of his great achievements, he has always had a grudge with him.

At this moment, the vermilion door was suddenly pushed open, and a majestic general with a black iron armor and a beard walked in with strides.

Li Shimin, Luo Bin and Eighteen Scholars cast their eyes on him at the same time.

The person coming is Yuchi Jingde, Li Shimin’s number one confidant!

Yuchi Jingde knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, his face flushed: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has an order to call you into the palace to discuss matters!"

"And according to the secret agent's report, the Crown Prince and King Qi have just led their troops into the palace from the Xuanwu Gate!"

Li Shimin's face froze, and all the civil and military officials in the hall looked at Luo Bin who looked normal.

Could it be that Luo Bin hit the mark again?

Luo Bin looked at Li Shimin seriously.

"boom!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he slammed the table, causing the solid sandalwood table to shatter in an instant.

"The crown prince and King Qi are not benevolent, so don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

"Pass me the military order! Gather all the soldiers and horses of the Qin Palace, and follow me to the Xuanwu Gate!"

"Ding, it has been detected that the famous historical event 'Xuanwumen Incident' has been triggered, and the historical celebrity and event check-in system is automatically activated."

"Friendly reminder, this system is automatically activated when it detects famous people and events in history."

"The first novice mission is released, and he will kill the Tang prince Li Jiancheng. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with a halo of junior luck. If you fail the mission..."

"...Damn it? This dog system can be counted! I thought I was the only special case among the traversers who didn't have a system!"

Luo Bin roared excitedly in his heart, but his eyes turned.

"Luck halo? What is that? Also, what punishment will there be if the mission fails? Will this dog system still get stuck?"

As if hearing Luo Bin's complaints, the mechanical voice in his mind sounded again.

"Ding, friendly reminder, if the task fails, the system will explode."

"... Self-destruct?"

Luo Bin was stunned.

This dog system can't afford it or is it deliberately deceiving people?
"Lifu, with Jingde and Zhijie here, your Beiwei army doesn't need to be transferred into the city. You are weak, just follow Jingde later."

Li Shimin turned around and noticed that Luo Bin had a strange expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded him with concern.

Luo Bin was overjoyed and looked at Yu Chigong.

If he remembered correctly, Li Jiancheng seemed to be shot to death by Li Shimin with a bow and arrow, while Yu Chigong killed Li Yuanji himself.

Now, he was going to kill Li Jiancheng with his own hands, and following Yu Chigong might not be without room for manipulation.

Yuchi Gong stood up and smiled honestly at Luo Bin.

……

"General, look over there... what's over there?"

The sharp-eyed guards spotted the army silently approaching the Xuanwu Gate in the night, and they hurriedly reported to the guard in fright.

The guard of Xuanwu Gate is Chang He, a strong man with a square face and honesty. He is the confidant of Prince Li Jiancheng.
