Li Jiancheng carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the plan proposed by Ren Zheng, and found that Ren Zheng's suggestion was indeed highly feasible.

After all, as the eldest prince, he has long been familiar with how much his father and mother love their second brother Li Shimin, so he often feels jealous of his second brother.

Even Li Jiancheng would sometimes wonder, considering his father's love for his second brother and his own abilities and ambitions, why didn't his father directly make his second brother a prince instead of making him King of Qin?

Whenever Li Jiancheng thought about this question, a terrible answer would come to his mind, that is, his father knew how much he valued his position as prince and his succession to the throne.

Therefore, the father was worried that if Li Shimin was directly appointed as the prince, he would retaliate against Li Shimin because of his dissatisfaction, causing conflicts or even wars between brothers, leading to fratricide.

Therefore, the father first established himself as the prince to stabilize himself, perhaps until his father was about to die, or he had already drafted a will in advance. When he died, Li Shimin would directly inherit the throne.

Although this is just Li Jiancheng's own guess, and there is not even a bit of reason or evidence to prove his guess, but this guess is like a poisonous snake, which often harasses him and makes him feel desperate.

And now, Li Shimin was killed by himself. Perhaps he was not just killing his father's favorite son, but the heir to the throne of the Tang Dynasty that he had already predetermined.

Therefore, he had no way of guessing what kind of decision his father would make after learning about this matter.

If no one can prove that he killed Li Shimin, then as long as he kills him and refuses to admit it, then he has nothing to say. But Liang Shitai happened to find out the truth, and he couldn't defend himself.

Moreover, Ren Zheng had originally decided that if someone actually accused Li Jiancheng of killing Li Shimin, then he would be willing to take the responsibility on himself in exchange for Li Jiancheng's position as prince being more stable.

But the problem now is that Liang Shitai has seen with his own eyes that Li Jiancheng killed Li Shimin himself, so even if he wants to blame the murderer on Ren Zheng, it is impossible.

Therefore, after a short analysis, Li Jiancheng gradually accepted Ren Zheng's suggestions, began to sit down, think, and make the final decision.

Everyone looked at Li Jiancheng nervously and a little excitedly, waiting for his final decision. At this time, the house became extremely quiet, and even a leaf falling on the ground could be clearly heard.

Li Jiancheng also knew that no matter what he decided in the end, he had to make up his mind as soon as possible. Once dawn, Liang Shitai would definitely go to the palace and report the matter to Li Yuan as soon as possible.

Just when Li Jiancheng was still wavering, the harsh voice of the eunuch suddenly came from outside the palace:"Report to His Majesty the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has an order to inform you to go to Hanyuan Hall to discuss matters."

Li Jiancheng was worried about his affair being exposed, and suddenly heard the eunuch The voice made me tremble with fright, and I forgot to answer for a moment.

When the eunuch who delivered the order saw that His Majesty did not respond, he spoke again:"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has ordered you to go to Hanyuan Hall to discuss matters. Please prepare quickly, no." Only then did

Li Jiancheng react. He was deeply moved. He took a breath, tried to calm down his mood, and then asked:"Eunuch, do you know why my father asked me to go?"

The eunuch who delivered the order looked at Li Jiancheng strangely, shook his head and said,"Your Majesty didn't say that. , I don’t even know, your Highness, you will know when you go."

That eunuch was the eunuch commander around Li Yuan. Under the influence of Li Yuan, Li Shimin was more optimistic about his sincerity and ability, so he was a little displeased with Li Jiancheng, especially Seeing that he was taking his time at this moment, he spoke a little hastily.

However, Li Jiancheng didn't know what the eunuch was thinking. He just thought that Li Yuan already knew about his killing of Li Shimin, so he wanted to let him into the palace and take him down.

And the eunuch knew that his situation was over, so he was not so respectful to him.

This can't be blamed on Li Jiancheng. After all, no matter who he is, he will always be particularly sensitive when he has done something wrong and is worried about being discovered by others. No matter what others say, he will always think of the wrong thing he has done.

So Li Jiancheng was no exception, but he didn't show it. He just waved his hand and said,"Okay, I know. I will be here later. You can go back first."

The eunuch even looked at Li Jiancheng's pale face. She was already breaking out in a cold sweat. She gave him a strange look and thought, isn't it just to enter the palace to meet His Majesty? How could he be so scared?

However, he only took a glance and saw that there were many of the prince's confidants in the palace. He thought that he must have something to talk to these subordinates, so he turned and left without staying any longer.

Wei Zheng watched the eunuch leave and felt a little secretly happy in his heart. It was true that when he fell asleep, someone would hand him a pillow. Presumably, with Li Yuan's message, Li Jiancheng must have thought that the matter was exposed and would definitely make up his mind to force him into the palace.

Sure enough, after the eunuch left, Li Jiancheng's face immediately showed a fierce look, and he said to everyone:"It seems that I have no choice. Go and call the commander of the Yulin Army." After everyone heard this,

Li Jiancheng said He couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster after receiving the order. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince had indeed chosen Ren Zheng's second path and was preparing to ascend the throne directly.

The commander of the Yulin Army was also one of Li Jiancheng's supporters. After all, King Qin Li Shimin had many people who supported him, and as the prince, Li Jiancheng would not lack followers with military power.

It's just that although this Yulin Army follows Li Jiancheng, it is not included in Li Jiancheng's confidants, so it is not in the East Palace at this moment.

Because he only sided with Li Jiancheng after Li Jiancheng was established as the prince. It can be said that he was just greedy for wealth. After all, the prince is the future emperor. Who else can he follow if he doesn't follow him?

A quarter of an hour later, the commander of the Yulin Army trotted all the way to the East Palace. After seeing Li Jiancheng, he hurriedly asked:"Your Highness, it's so late, what are your orders for calling the officials?"

Li Jiancheng stared at Yulin. The commander of the army said word by word:"I will give you a stick of incense, and immediately summon all the Yulin troops under your command, and follow me into the palace."

The commander of the Yulin army was stunned when he heard Li Jiancheng's words, and then asked:"What happened in the palace?"

Li Jiancheng replied:"It's nothing. It's just that I want to force the palace father to abdicate!"_
