Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

According to the "Old Tang Book", on the first day of June in the ninth year of Tang Wude (626), Prince Li Jiancheng held a night banquet in the East Palace and invited Li Shimin to attend.During the banquet, Li Shimin suddenly vomited blood after drinking a few glasses of wine, and almost died.Just three days later, the "Xuanwumen Incident" broke out, and the direction of history was completely changed.

In this regard, some people think that it is precisely because Li Shimin is destined to be the real dragon emperor that he was lucky enough to escape the fatal night banquet.In fact, there has never been a lack of doubts about this banquet.Many people think that this incident is purely a fiction of Zhenguan Shichen, and it does not exist in history.So, what is the truth?Is this banquet, which is enough to determine the direction of history, a fiction?

In fact, Chen Ying also had great hesitation about this.Before the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng completely suppressed Li Shimin, and planned to split up the generals in the Qin Palace. Under that circumstance, Li Shimin had already lost the chance to compete for the crown prince.

Even if Li Jiancheng wanted to poison Li Shimin to death, he did not dare to let him die at the banquet held by him, because it would be tantamount to blatant murder.At the time when Li Yuan still wanted to level the bowl of water, it was also very detrimental for Li Jiancheng to do so—poisoning his own brother was not a small crime.

Li Jiancheng, who has always had an advantage in the struggle, should not have made such a bad move.Therefore, Li Shimin was poisoned.Because although Li Shimin was poisoned, he did not die.Li Yuan did not believe that Li Jiancheng poisoned Li Shimin, because first, Li Jiancheng was lenient, and second, it was completely unnecessary.Third, this is more like Li Shimin's bitter trick.So Li Yuan didn't deal with Li Jiancheng either.

It seems that this is not like the eldest and the second taking the throne, I am afraid that Li Yuanji is not willing to be lonely.

As one of Li Yuan's three sons, if Li Shimin died of poisoning and Li Jiancheng couldn't get rid of the notoriety of poisoning his younger brother, then the most likely thing is that Li Jiancheng was abolished as the prince and died in seclusion, while Li Yuanji successfully counterattacked. Take the position as the fourth child.

Chen Ying had vaguely guessed, and seeing Li Yuanji impatiently instigate Chen Ying to fight back, it probably wasn't out of his help and loyalty to Li Jiancheng.In this context, Li Jiancheng's best solution is to stop his efforts.

Any disturbance in the wind and grass could trigger the final fight between Prince Qin's Mansion and the East Palace.

If Chen Ying was really treated unfairly, Li Xiuning would definitely not sit idly by, and she would definitely fight back. In that case, the court would probably be even more lively.

Li Yuanji left, and Chen Ying stood in front of the window, writing on a piece of paper.There was no ink on his pen, but there was a bowl of rice soup beside him.

On that piece of paper, the handwriting was everywhere, but there was no writing that should have been left.Zhou Qing stood beside him, frowning, watching seriously.

After Chen Ying finished writing, he put down his pen lightly, picked up the paper, dried it gently, and handed it to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing looked up and down the blank paper with no writing on it, and looked at Lin Fu in confusion.

Chen Ying took out a fire knife and flint from his bosom, lit the fire, lit the candles on the table, then stepped aside and waved his hands.

Zhou Qing stepped forward suspiciously, took the paper, and put it on the candle for a while.

Gradually, the handwriting appeared on the paper.

Zhou Qing looked at Chen Ying differently, and said softly, "Is this the way to transmit information in the military?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "It can be used for ordinary news, but for really confidential and important matters, there are even more secretive methods."

After saying that, Chen Ying took another small wooden box from the closet. Chen Ying sat down, looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Take this box with you, take it back to Chang'an City, and give it to A Lang!"

Zhou Qing said: "Is this the way to exchange news in the future?"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "Chang'an is about to have a storm, and Madam will use her righteousness at some point. If she gets involved, it may be difficult to get out. You tell Madam, I miss her, and let him bring the young master to the Western Regions." Bar!"

……

On the banks of the Yu River in Chang'an, there is a sparkling river surface and an official road made of asphalt and stones.

On the official road, a carriage was slowly moving forward, and there were sixteen healthy servants on horseback at the front and back of the carriage.

In the bushes in the distance, there are black shadows moving quickly from time to time.Several Tuomu longbows were bent into an arc, and the black triangular arrows shone coldly under the moonlight.

Lights flickered in the direction of Chenjiabao in the distance.

Li Xiuning was flipping through the ledger in the carriage, while He Yue'er held the lamp and sat beside her to illuminate her.

He Yue'er muttered, "Your Highness, the news in Chang'an City is very unfavorable to Lang Jun, but there is no news from the palace yet."

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "There is no news, but it is good news. This shows that Daddy still believes in Chen Lang. You should check it out and find out who the snobs are. You are going to die and practice..."

"You don't need to check the servants to know!" He Yue'er said angrily, "It's that fat man, Changsun Wuji, jumping up and down, wantonly!"

Li Xiuning said indifferently: "Guanyin's maidservant is a virtuous person, but this compatriot is really..."

He Yue'er lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, I'm not worried about Mr. Lang, but you have to be careful with Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Xiuning smiled coldly and said, "What? Does he still dare to rebel?"

He Yue'er approached and said: "I heard that Changsun Wuji provoked many people outside, it's nothing..."

Before the words fell, there was a piercing sound in the night sky.

call out--

Immediately after the sound of "dong", a feathered arrow shot through the wall of the carriage compartment.

Li Xiuning and He Yue'er stared at the triangular arrow piercing through the wooden wall, staring at each other in amazement.

He Yue'er immediately drew out the soft sword at her waist, shielded it in front of Li Xiuning and said, "Master Ma, leave two alive!"

At this moment, the sound of feather arrows piercing the sky sounded one after another in the night sky.

Li Xiuning took his time and pulled down a wrench on the wall of the carriage.There was only a loud click.

At this time, the arrow was nailed to the carriage, making a golden clanging sound.

The guards outside the carriage were hit by arrows from time to time, screaming and falling off the horse.

Ma Sanbao slashed two sharp arrows with his knife, and suddenly there was a messy sound of horseshoes.

Ma Sanbao's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Princess, go quickly, I will stay in the queen!"

Ps: I recommend a book, The End of the Han Dynasty, Becoming the King, Bloody Struggle for Hegemony, you can go and read it!

The first forty-fourth chapter of the city gate caught fire and the fish in the pond

"Dede..." The sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded in the middle of the night, and the sound of horseshoes became more and more urgent.

"Woooo..." At the same time, Li Xiuning's carriage also sounded the sound of sobbing horns.

On the tall city wall of Chenjiabao, there are four huge turrets.The top column is topped, the walls are hollow, an oil lamp is as big as an iron pot, and three wicks as thick as a baby's arm are also lit. The silk as thin as a cicada's wing is smeared with isinglass to make a lampshade to cover the wind. Looking from a distance, it is as bright as another round of bright moon hanging around the turret.

At this moment, the whimpering horn sounded.The guards on the Chenjiabao heard the frightening sound of the battle horn, and immediately rushed towards the sound of the battle horn with their weapons in hand.

Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of strong horses rushed to Li Xiuning's carriage, and the knights spread out to form an encirclement circle.

The one at the head had a beard and a long knife in his hand, with a fierce gleam in his eyes.He looked at Li Xiuning and yelled violently: "The head of Erlong Mountain is going down the mountain to do business, and those who don't want to die will kneel down!"

Ma Sanbao held the knife in his hand, and the rest of the dozen or so guards guarded Li Xiuning's carriage.

Li Xiuning pushed open the door of the carriage, and looked coldly at the bandits around, as if looking at a group of dead people.

The bandit leader looked at Li Xiuning's face and said: "Princess Pingyang is a hero among women, our master has admired her for a long time, please invite Princess Pingyang to drive up the mountain and have a good time together."

Li Xiuning was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and said slowly: "If you want money, the Chen family has plenty, as long as I give you a message, you can move here before dawn, I'm afraid you won't be able to move."

The bandit leader smiled grimly and said, "Our head of the family has said that we also need money and people, and we can't lose any of them."
