How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

When Wu Mei finished speaking.

In the corner, Li Chunfeng grabbed Yuan Tiangang's thigh and trembled with nervousness.

He didn't want some things to happen, but some things still happened inevitably.

He stared at the entire audience, and saw how completely silent they were.

Yuan Tiangang was grabbed by the thigh by Li Chunfeng, but he did not move at all and continued to eat the peanuts on the table silently.

For a moment, the only sound in the field was Yuan Tiangang's chewing.

Extremely weird and strange!

Why did everyone suddenly become silent?

It was because what Wu Mei said was too horrifying.

Wu Niangzi, General Zuo Wuwei, Duke of Wulian County, Wu'an County, Xuanwu Gate...

The string of Chinese characters for "Wu" made everyone think of the prophecy.

After the third Tang Dynasty, the female ruler, King Wu, ruled the world!

There is no way I can’t think of it!

Almost everyone in Chang'an City knew about this prophecy, but because the emperor didn't like it, they kept it in their hearts.

Coupled with today’s strange phenomenon of Taibai passing through the sky, everyone was already terrified.

Wu Mei's naked hint made everyone tremble.

Wu Niangzi, Wu... Wu... Wu...

A military general whose name sounds like a woman's, eventually overthrows the Tang Dynasty and rules the entire world?

It would be fine if people thought of this in private while drinking.

It actually appeared at a banquet for civil and military officials...

Everyone took a breath, their faces filled with fear.

Everyone can think of it, let alone Li Er and Li Shimin.

There was a click.

Li Shimin threw the wine bottle onto the table before he could put it down.

His face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he stared at Li Junxian in the audience.

Yes!

I...why didn’t I think of it!

That prophecy!

The female ruler, King Wu, ruled the world.

I always thought that a female general would overthrow the Li Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that a military general with a female name would overthrow my kingdom.

And how similar is the word "Wu" to the fifth brother's identity, name, and status?

Rumble, rumble!

Li Shimin only felt as if a huge thunder was roaring in his heart, his heartbeat accelerated, his mouth became dry, and he wanted to shout out loud.

But he can't.

How could an emperor behave so misbehavingly?

He could only stare at his fifth brother, unable to utter a word.

Fifth brother, are you the one who wants to overthrow my kingdom?

Li Junxian was also completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Li Er's stunned expression and the complete silence in the room, and his drunken brain immediately sobered up.

If he had a knife in his hand at this moment, he would have wanted to kill Wu Mei with one blow.

Fuck you, bitch, why are you saying all this for no reason!

Now that His Majesty suspects that I want to overthrow his Li Tang Dynasty, what should I do?

"Huh...huh...huh..."

For a moment, he was also gasping for breath, not knowing how to respond.

Wu Mei exclaimed at the right time.

"Oh! Your Majesty, did I say something wrong? Why did General Li's face change so much? Why didn't anyone say anything?"

"I deserve to die. I deserve to die a thousand times..."

As she spoke, Wu Mei knelt down and apologized to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't hear Wu Mei's apology at all, and his bloodshot eyes were still staring at Li Junxian.

Li Junxian was trembling all over when being looked at, and finally spoke.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I am old and can't handle the alcohol, so I'd like to take my leave and go back to rest..."

After saying this, Li Junxian didn't even wait for Li Shimin's response and ran out in a panic.

He stumbled along the way and knocked over many people's dishes.

Until he ran out of the hall, the whole place remained silent.

After seeing Li Junxian escape, everyone looked at each other and knew that the banquet could not go on no matter what.

As if they had the same idea, everyone slowly stood up and was about to say goodbye to Li Er.

who knew...

Li Shimin actually shouted: "You don't know the rules!"

Everyone was afraid to move.

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"

At his command, he did not let everyone leave, but instead asked the musicians and dancers to perform again.

But everyone no longer had the heart to drink and have fun, and could only sit there with sad faces.

What do you call this?

Everything was fine, how did it turn out like this?

Li Junxian fulfilled the prophecy and was afraid that he would not have a good death in the future. He would stay away from him no matter what to avoid being covered in blood.

"Mei Niang, what crime have you committed? Get up and come drink with me!"

Seeing Wu Mei still kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin gave her an order in a cold voice.

Seeing this, Wu Mei had no choice but to get up and sit next to Li Shimin to accompany him.

"Gao Quan! Go check on my fifth brother. He's drunk. I hope he can't find his way back home!"

Li Shimin gave another cold order, and the eunuch Gao Quan beside him immediately followed the order and went out.

that's it.

A very lively banquet turned into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Everyone was anxious and just hoped that the banquet would be over soon.

who knew...

The dancer hasn't finished the song yet.

But the eunuch Gao Quan, who had just run away, came hurriedly back in from outside the hall.

He trotted all the way to Li Shimin and leaned close to the emperor's ear to say something.

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"What are you doing sneaking around? If you have anything to say, don't say it in front of all the officials!"

Gao Quan was so frightened by Li Shimin's roar that he had to stand up straight and shout loudly.

"Reporting to the Emperor!"

"Left Guard General Li Junxian did not return to the villa to rest. Instead, he brought his close followers, rode his horse and knocked away the Jiucheng Palace guards, heading all the way to Chang'an City!"

boom!

The whole audience was shocked again.

Li Junxian ah, Li Junxian!

Are you crazy?

Your Majesty has come out to stay, who dares to return to the imperial city without an imperial decree?

Not to mention that you actually pushed aside the guard at the door and rode away on your horse?

What are you going to do?

"Hehehehe..."

Clang!

Li Shimin threw the wine bottle in his hand and stood up suddenly.

"My dear ministers, can you tell me?"

"My fifth brother, General Zuo Wuwei returned to Chang'an City in the middle of the night to continue guarding Xuanwu Gate? Ah!"

With a loud shout, all the civil and military officials present knelt down in fear.

"Your Majesty, please calm down... Your Majesty, please calm down..."

Li Shimin couldn't help but be angry!

Li Junxian was responsible for guarding the Xuanwu Gate.

Where is Xuanwu Gate?

This is the place where the Xuanwu Gate Incident broke out.

This is the place where Li Shimin shot his elder brother Li Jiancheng to death with an arrow and forced the previous emperor Li Yuan to retreat with a sword.

This gate leads directly to the depths of the imperial city and is the most important gate in Chang'an City!

If something happens at Xuanwu Gate...

The consequences could be disastrous!

Li Shimin put his entire life and property into the hands of Li Junxian.

But this person...

What on earth was he going to do when he returned?

The whole place was silent again, and only the nervous heartbeats of the people could be heard.

Li Shimin stood there, looking at the people bowing their heads and kowtowing below the stage, feeling so angry that he didn't know how to vent.

Fifth brother, ah, fifth brother!

Even if you come true to that prophecy, why are you running?

Even if I suspect you, the most I can do is to remove you from your position guarding the Xuanwu Gate and remove you from your official position, but I can ensure that you live a wealthy and free life for the rest of your life!

You said you...

Why are you running!

I have entrusted my life and property to you, why are you running away!

At this moment, Li Shimin's heart was filled with anger and heartbreak, and the fear of being betrayed!

But he suppressed this fear in his heart and dared not show it at all.

He wanted to issue orders several times, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that his fifth brother had followed him through life and death for decades, and he couldn't say it.

after all……

Civil and military officials in the audience risked their lives to stand up and shout loudly.

"His Majesty……"

"Li Junxian has long harbored rebellious intentions! This time he is running away on horseback, and will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"This man is in charge of the important Xuanwu Gate. If he intends to rebel, Chang'an City will fall in a moment!"

"Your Majesty, please make the decision and do not let this teasing succeed and let the world fall into conflict again..."

Someone said what was on everyone’s mind.

Li Er, it's already late, make a decision quickly!

If we hesitate any longer, perhaps all of us old idiots will be trapped to death in Jiucheng Palace.

If you hesitate any longer, our family members, even your concubines, your prince, and your descendants will all be beheaded.

Is it true that the Xuanwu Gate Incident is going to happen again?

"Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

"Your Majesty... please make the decision!"

"His Majesty……"

The whole place was filled with roars like thunder, and everyone kowtowed continuously, urging Li Shimin to make arrangements as soon as possible.

Li Shimin's heart was as cold as snow. Looking at the crowd cheering, he was so angry that he wanted to bite his steel teeth into pieces.

He finally forced the words out from between his teeth.

"Send an order...Order the 100 Cavalrymen to set out immediately! Make sure to catch up with Li Junxian and capture him and bring him back!"

Unexpectedly, everyone shouted again.

"Your Majesty, please think twice..."

Why bring him back?

Are you going to allow the other side to harbor evil intentions and allow your comrades to turn against each other?

You can't accuse him of treason just because he left the palace for no reason.

Who in the world can accept the situation of having their property confiscated and their clan exterminated for such a small matter?

Li Shimin looked at the people in the room, feeling hopeless, and could only shout with tears in his eyes.

"No need to interrogate, no need to bring him back!"

"Behead! Execute! Immediately!"
