According to the previous agreement between Li Yuanji and Li Shenfu, once Li Yuanji decides to take action, Li Shenfu will withdraw all the imperial guards and hand over all the important places he is responsible for guarding to Li Yuanji's Xuanwu Jingwei, including Jiumen and Imperial City.

Although after Li Xuanba left, Emperor Li Yuan appointed Li Daozong as the general of the Right Imperial Guard, Li Shenfu did not allow Li Daozong to enter the military camp on the grounds that the procedures of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War were not completed. According to various procedures, Li Daozong must at least take office after the day of taking office. This is also because Li Yuanji did not take Li Daozong to heart, and Li Daozong could not pose a threat for the time being.

However, Li Shenfu was indeed very unhappy. Although he supported Li Yuanji as the crown prince and even supported Li Yuanji ascending the throne, he was a royal family after all, and he could not support Li Yuanji in launching a palace coup, at least he would not participate.

So Li Shenfu also made two preparations. Once Li Yuanji launches a court coup and is at a disadvantage, he will rebel without hesitation and kill Li Yuanji to ensure that he will not be implicated by Li Yuanji.

But Li Shenfu didn't expect that Li Yuanji actually kidnapped his illegitimate son and his beloved concubine yesterday and forced him to stand in a row.

Although Li Shenfu had to take the lead in order to save his son's life and agreed to cooperate with Li Yuanji to launch a palace coup, he was still very uncomfortable. He immediately sent someone to secretly send a message to his brother Li Shentong.

In the central tent of the military camp, Li Shenfu was drinking alone. He was wearing armor and helmet, ready to attack at any time. He knew that something big would happen tonight. Which side should he stand on? He still had no idea in his heart.

At this time, a personal soldier reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Luo Zhanjun from the Chu Palace has arrived, and you have something to ask for a visit to the prince."

Li Shenfu knew that Li Yuanji sent someone to warn him. Although he really didn't want to see him, he nodded and said, "Please come in!"

Soon after, two soldiers led Luo Yumin in, and Luo Yumin bowed and bowed, "See the Prince!"

"Please sit down by Luo!"

Li Shenfu's tone was very cold. It was obvious that he did not welcome Luo Yumin, and Luo Yumin didn't care, so he sat down opposite him.

Li Shenfu said coldly: "I have taken back the Imperial Guard as required by His Highness the King of Chu. What else is he not satisfied with?"

"His Highness of the King of Chu is sincerely grateful to the prince for his help. In return, His Highness of the King of Chu will thank the prince for his honor. He promised to grant any county in Guanzhong to the prince as a fief. Except for the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian, the prince can choose any other county. In addition, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Jin, and Shu, the prince can choose any of the six kings above."

Li Shenfu sneered for a while and said, "If this is the condition given to me by Zhang Xuan, I will certainly be happy. Unfortunately, it is something given to me by Li Yuanji, just a flash in the pan. Is there anything worth being happy with? I don't care."

"What does the prince want? Treasure, land or woman?"

Li Shenfu showed a look of hesitation on his face. Luo Yumin saw that Li Shenfu really had something to want, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness the King of Chu sent me here to express his gratitude to the prince on his behalf. Let me say that! As long as the prince does not seek the throne and the position of prince, His Highness the King of Chu will agree to anything else or anyone else."

"Sir, take this seriously."

Luo Yumin took out a gold medal and placed it on the table, "This is the order of the King of Chu. Seeing the plaque is like seeing someone. What else does the prince not believe?"

Li Shenfu was not a loyal and righteous person. He just hated Li Yuanji for arresting his son, which forced him to participate in the palace coup. However, he was also greedy for money and lustful. He did not care about the throne and county because he knew it would not last long, but treasures and women were his hobbies. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to realize his dream wish.

He slowly said, "Since the King of Chu is so sincere, I do have two ideas. If he agrees, then the holiday he kidnapped my son will be cancelled. Of course, the premise is to return my son intact, and he will return it before noon tomorrow, and then I support him in a coup to ascend the throne."

"Please rest assured that you don't have to go until noon tomorrow. You will return your beloved son and concubine tomorrow morning. They are doing well and are treated very favorably. There is no grievance at all. Please tell me two conditions just."

Li Shenfu thought for a while and said, "First, after the King of Chu is accomplished, I will go to the emperor's imperial warehouse to pick twenty treasures. This requirement should not be high!"

Luo Yumin nodded with a smile, "This requirement is indeed not high. Even if you pick thirty pieces, the prince will agree."

"I'm not greedy, I only need twenty pieces, as long as he doesn't feel sorry for me."

Li Shenfu knew that last year, he copied a large number of peerless treasures from the mansion of the Guanlong nobles, such as the Night Pearl of the Mother and Child, the Topaz Screen, the original works of Wang Xizhi, etc. There were hundreds of them. Although he only had twenty pieces, each of them was a rare treasure that he had long loved.

"Prince, please give me a second request."

"The second request is that I want a woman, I'm afraid the King of Chu will not agree."

Luo Yumin smiled slightly, "As long as it is not the Princess of Chu, I think the King of Chu will agree."

"Not necessarily! I want Concubine Yin De, is he willing to give up his love?"

Li Shenfu, a peerless beauty like Yin Defei, has been coveting for a long time, but he is a minister, how dare he attack the imperial concubine? His concubine is favored by him because she looks a little bit like Yin Defei, not to mention Yin Defei herself. The only one who attacked her was not the only one. I heard that even Li Yuanji was coveting secretly, but now it is an opportunity. Since Li Yuanji wants to make his own request, Li Shenfu is of course not polite.

Luo Yumin nodded and said, "I will report to His Highness the King of Chu now, and there will definitely be a reply within half an hour."

"I'm waiting for good news for Luo to join the army!"

At this time, Li Yuanji personally led 8,000 Xuanwu Jingwei to ambush in a forest in Xi Neiyuan. He was waiting for the final negotiation result between Luo Yumin and Li Shenfu. Although Li Shenfu had withdrawn the garrison from the imperial city, if there was no final compromise, Li Yuanji was still a little worried that Li Shenfu would turn against the water at the last critical moment. That would be 20,000 imperial guards, which would make him lose the final result.

At this time, a guard rushed to report, "Luo is back!"

Li Yuanji was overjoyed. Only Luo Yumin came back meant that Li Shenfu had offered a condition. He immediately said: "Take him here to see me!"

Soon, Luo Yumin hurried over, and Li Yuanji stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How are you talking?"

Luo Yumin winked, and Li Yuanji immediately stepped back. Luo Yumin whispered to Li Yuanji's two conditions. Li Yuanji didn't say anything for a long time. There was no problem with the imperial warehouse. Not to mention twenty pieces, he agreed even if it was one hundred pieces. Even Yin Defei was a little reluctant. He was also the beauty he liked.

Luo Yumin immediately understood Li Yuanji's thoughts and couldn't help but curse in his heart. Li Yuanji was really debauchery and shameless, and even his concubine's mother did not let go. He advised: "Since your highness wants to succeed the throne, you still need to get the support of civil and military officials. Some things cannot be done with shame. After all, Concubine Yin De is the concubine's mother of Your Highness. If Your Highness accepts her, it will make people all over the world laugh at. As long as you can get the support of Li Shenfu's 20,000 troops, why should you cherish a woman?"

Li Yuanji didn't care about the opposition of all officials, but he did need the full support of Li Shenfu. Although Li Shenfu was about to leave Concubine Yin De, there was also a Zhang Jieyu who was also extremely beautiful. These two peerless beauties could get at least one of them.

Cui Wenxiang next to him also said coldly: "It is a good deal to trade a woman for 20,000 imperial guards, and your highness can agree."

Helplessly, Li Yuanji had to agree, "Okay! Go and tell Li Shenfu, I promised him two conditions. Time is very urgent. If he has no objection, please ask him to light a torch on the gate as a sign."

"I will talk about it now, but please give me another token of Huyi."

Li Yuanji took off his jade pendant and handed it to Luo Yumin. Luo Yumin hurried away. Soon, a torch was lit on the gate a mile away. This was Li Shenfu finally reached a compromise. Li Yuanji was about to order troops to send troops, Cui Wenxiang grabbed him and said, "Open the door first and then send troops to prevent it."

Li Yuanji nodded and rushed to the Xuanwu Gate hundreds of steps away with three hundred cavalry. The guardian of Xuanwu Gate was Wang Zheng. He received a joint guarantee from Lu Ping and Wen Yanbo. His current identity is already the General of the Zhou army, and no longer the Tang army. His mentality has changed, so he doesn't care about letting Li Yuanji enter the palace.

Wang Zheng has been waiting for Li Yuanji to arrive. The agreed time has passed, but Li Yuanji has been delayed. He was a little anxious. If Li Yuanji doesn't come again, He Miao will probably have patrolled here.

"Here you come!" A soldier pointed to the distance and whispered.

Wang Zheng also saw it. Li Yuanji and hundreds of cavalry were running towards Xuanwu Gate. Wang Zheng immediately ordered: "Prepare to open the door!"

Xuanwu Gate is the gate to the north of Tai Chi Palace. The palace wall is three meters high. The palace gate is made of pig iron and is very thick. Even if it is made of giant trees, it may not be able to be opened. There are also que Towers on both sides to serve as arrow pavilions.

The soldiers were ready to open the door, but at this moment, Wang Zheng's brother-in-law Wei Daming rushed over and said nervously: "He Miao is here!"

Wang Zheng's face turned pale. He Miao didn't come early or late. But when he came at this time, the news must have been leaked. He immediately said anxiously: "Open the door immediately!"

The heavy palace gate creaked open, and a stern shout suddenly came from the distance: "Stop, don't open the door!"

The Jinwu Guard General He Miao rushed over, following hundreds of soldiers.
