Escape From the Library

【Dream Back to Tang Dynasty-03】

Yue Xingwen also has some understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty, and knows many famous people, such as Li Shimin's generals Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Yu Chigong, counselors Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, etc. General of Qin Palace", he really didn't know.

Jiang Pingce's interests are all in mathematics, and he probably hasn't heard much about General Qin's Palace.Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen asked, "What's the name of the character you're playing?"

Jiang Pingce said: "My surname is Zhang. Everyone calls me General Zhang. The Habayashi Army I am currently in charge of is a trusted army secretly trained by Li Shimin. There are only 800 people, but they are all highly skilled in martial arts."

Yue Xingwen smiled, and said helplessly, "I don't know that Li Shimin has General Zhang under his command. Perhaps, only Qin Miao knows who this person is."

Regarding the specific identity and background of this person, although he is not clear, he can be sure that this "General Zhang" must have played a pivotal role in the "Xuanwu Gate Change".

Yue Xingwen asked, "Is your coordinate system skill banned?"

Jiang Pingce nodded: "The triangle ruler and the coordinate system can't be released, but the sequence can be used. I counted the Habayashi army with the sequence skill, and quickly counted the number of 800 people." He paused and continued: " There is also a math blind box available, but I haven't had time to smoke it yet."

Sure enough, Pincer's coordinate system can't be used in this exam, otherwise he would definitely be able to sneak out of the yard to meet everyone at the inn.

Yue Xingwen continued to ask, "Have you met Li Shimin?"

"I met once. When I opened my eyes, I was in the Qin Palace. The library explained my identity to me, and then I met Li Shimin. He told me to take the time to count the Yulin Army, be vigilant, and not let any suspicious people enter the palace. .”

"That's why you patrol yourself in the middle of the night?"

"Yeah." Jiang Pingce paused, wondering: "Did something happen recently? Li Shimin is very wary and looks very cautious?"

"Because Li Yuanji led his troops to the Turks under the pretext of looking for someone important to the emperor, His Majesty approved Qin Shubao, Yu Chigong and others who originally followed Li Shimin to go out with Li Yuanji. Li Shimin must have noticed that Li Yuanji was taking this opportunity to weaken his power , Maybe there will be some action, so let's take precautions." Yue Xingwen said in a low voice: "Can you find a way to take me to see him?"

"He lives in the study tonight, and he told me before entering the room that no one is allowed to come near him. However, as his cronies, I should be able to enter." Jiang Pingce said in a low voice.

Zhuo Feng stood by and listened to their conversation as if there was no one else present, showing a blank expression of "who am I, where am I, and what should I do".

Yue Xingwen finally noticed Zhuo Feng, coughed lightly, and said: "Brother, why don't you go back first, although your identity is the guard of the palace, it doesn't make sense to be with us."

Zhuo Feng patted Yue Xingwen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I can't help anyway. Be careful and be safe."

When Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen were chatting today, he couldn't get in the way at all.The tacit understanding between the two of them, when they talked, they only looked at each other, Zhuo Feng always felt that he was superfluous.Since Pingce can take Xingwen to see Li Shimin, it is not easy for him to follow, so he will not make trouble.

Zhuo Feng pushed the door and went out, and quickly returned to his residence.

Only Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce were left in the room.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Pingce stretched out his hand, gently wiped off the dust on Yue Xingwen's face, and said in a low voice, "If I had known that I was the general of the Qin Palace, there was no need for you to make yourself look like this."

Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "I thought you were not in this time and space."

Jiang Pingce raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Is there anyone else not here?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Ke Shaobin Xinyan, Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Liu, Zhang Xiaonian, and Senior Sister Lan have not appeared so far. Qin Miao suspects that they are in another time and space and need to promote the development of another historical event. This time " There are likely to be several small tasks in the course of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty."

Jiang Pingce said clearly: "If this is the case, then our character is to assist Li Shimin?"

Yue Xingwen said: "That's right. The 'Xuanwu Gate Change' must be launched on time on the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude. Today is the first day of June, and we don't have much time left."

Jiang Pingce said decisively, "Okay, I'll take you there right away."

The two looked at each other. In order to do enough for the show, Jiang Pingce twisted Yue Xingwen's hands behind his back in the way of escorting a prisoner, tied them tightly with a rope, and then took Xingwen out of the study.

The study was pitch black, without any movement, Li Shimin was apparently asleep.

The situation was urgent, and Jiang Pingce didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Qin, I have something important to report."

The candlelight in the room was lit, and a moment later, a voice sounded in the room: "Come in."

Jiang Pingce led Yue Xingwen into the room, and saw a young man in his 20s sitting at the table wearing a cloak. He didn't look tired at all, but was very energetic.It seems that he has been in a state of anxiety recently, and has suffered from insomnia all night. It was almost 3 o'clock in the morning and he still hadn't fallen asleep.

Li Shimin picked up the tea on the table, and asked lightly, "It's so late, what's the important thing for General Zhang?"

Jiang Pingce said: "When my subordinates were patrolling the palace, they found this person sneaking outside the door, so they took him for interrogation. He said that he was an old acquaintance of His Highness, and he had something very important to report, but his subordinates didn't know the truth. Only then did he bring him here to confirm with His Highness. If what he said is false, the subordinates will immediately drag him to execution."

Although Yue Xingwen's hands were tied, Jiang Pingce's bet on him was very light, and he didn't feel any pain. This was all done for Li Shimin, lest Li Shimin suspect that they knew each other.

Of course, Ping Ce's play was privately "guided" by Yue Xingwen.Jiang Pingce pretended to arrest a suspicious person and asked His Royal Highness to confirm, Yue Xingwen was there pretending to struggle, the two cooperated very well, Li Shimin did not see any personal relationship between them.

"Raise your head." Li Shimin said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, it's, it's me, Wang Yan." Yue Xingwen raised his head and looked at the other party.

Seeing this historically famous emperor face to face, Yue Xingwen couldn't help feeling a little excited - he was just as described in the history books, young but with extraordinary momentum.

Li Shimin, who was less than 30 years old, led the Xuanjia iron cavalry to fight on the battlefield, and won countless battles. His prestige in the army far surpassed that of Prince Li Jiancheng.Although his expression was very kind, Yue Xingwen didn't dare to mess around with that aura of calmness.

I don't know how Wang Yan and Li Shimin communicated before, Yue Xingwen had no choice but to act respectfully, bowed his head and stopped talking.

Li Shimin put down his teacup and said, "General Zhang, you should step back first."

Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen pretending to be puzzled, and silently exited the door.

Only then did Li Shimin stand up, and walked behind him to help "Wang Yan" untie the rope, and said softly, "Why are you so embarrassed that you were tied up in front of me? Where is the informant you agreed to contact secretly?"

Yue Xingwen pretended to be nervous and said: "His Royal Highness, the matter is really urgent, and this subordinate is worried about telling any third party about it, so he sneaked out of the East Palace and came directly to report to you!"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"

Yue Xingwen cleared his throat with a cough, and said in a low voice: "The crown prince and King Qi conspired in the East Palace today, and the two agreed to send someone to assassinate His Highness at the practice banquet in Kunming Pool a few days later, and then lied that His Highness died of a sudden illness. They also want to take action against General Yuchi, General Qin and others, and plan to eradicate your cronies on the way to the expedition..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's usually gentle face suddenly became angry, the veins on the back of his hand popped up, and he crushed the teacup on the table forcefully!

Hearing the sound of ceramics shattering in his ears, Yue Xingwen immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

He knew that his mission had been accomplished.

Li Shimin obviously believed his report.The struggle between the princelings and King Qin had already reached a fever pitch, and both sides were waiting for the opportunity.Li Shimin is not willing to be the first to take out the butcher knife and kill his own brother, but since the other party plans to attack him first, he will not sit still.

This is the perfect time.

After a long time, Li Shimin took a deep breath: "Understood, I will remember your achievements today, let's step down first." Then he shouted to the door: "General Zhang, take him down so that he can settle down."

Jiang Pingce opened the door and took Yue Xingwen out.Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin said to him in a low voice: "Send someone to call Changsun Wuji and Yu Chigong to the Qin Palace immediately to discuss something important."

Jiang Pingce settled Xingwen in his residence, and then went back to Li Shimin's study.

He met many people, including Li Shimin's most trusted eldest grandson Wuji.

Everyone discussed overnight, and all Li Shimin's subordinates were furious when they heard the news that "the crown prince and King Qi planned to assassinate him in Kunming Lake" relayed by Li Shimin, and they all persuaded him to join forces.

No one knows what Li Shimin is thinking in his heart, but on the surface, he still shirks a bit: "Mutual fratricide is a great crime throughout the ages, and I don't want to be such a sinner through the ages."

The subordinates all came up with reasons such as "His Royal Highness should put the country and the country as the most important thing", "King Qi and the prince are not talents in charge of the world", and tried to persuade them.In the end, under the persuasion and even death pressure of everyone, Li Shimin finally decided to act first.

Jiang Pingce stood by and listened to their discussion, which gave him a headache.

Throughout the ages, many emperors who raised troops had behind them a group of counselors who persuaded them to raise troops.These counselors have excellent eloquence, talking about the past and the present, and citing scriptures, which are convincing.

After listening to their analysis, even Jiang Pingce felt that if Li Shimin did not kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he would be sorry to the common people and the Tang Dynasty.

After deciding to raise troops, Li Shimin immediately became decisive.

His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and he said calmly: "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to meet the emperor and tell the emperor that the crown prince and King Qi have an affair with the concubines in the harem. The emperor will be furious and call them Enter the palace for questioning. General Zhang led the [-] Yulin Army and ambushed at the Xuanwu Gate in advance, before the two entered the palace..."

He stretched out his hand and simply made a gesture of wiping his neck,

At this time, Li Shimin's eyes were calm and sharp. If he fails in this battle, he will be benevolent. For the forces of King Qin, this will be a desperate fight.

Jiang Pingce didn't expect that the identity assigned to him by the library was so important?

He immediately stood upright, and simply said: "Yes, Your Highness!"

On the fourth day of June, the Habayashi Army led by him must not make any mistakes.
