Southern history is diligent and trusting too much, while Northern history is able to doubt the ancients but its knowledge is too simple... Those who can integrate the strengths of the north and the south and remove their shortcomings are the first to recommend Wang Guowei and Chen Yuan."

Who is that person?

This is also the doubt in our hearts. It is a bit far away, so we can only see a contour, which looks very similar to Li Jiancheng. Whether it is face or figure, it is at least 90% similar. Combined with Rong Jiaojiao's words just now, this must be the last move of the Ming Zunshu.

"Your Highness, where is your jade contract?" Wei Zheng reminded.

"The jade contract? It's naturally on the prince." Li Jiancheng hurriedly pulled into his sleeves, then his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Where is my jade contract? Why is it gone?"

Looking at Li Jiancheng's panic, I roughly understood that the reason why the fake Li Jiancheng outside was able to mobilize the city defense force was that he had an ID card.

In this era, there were ID cards. Of course, ordinary people did not count them. They were just for officials. This ID card was a proof of the rank of officials. During the Sui Dynasty, it was made of carved wood and had all kinds of shapes. However, since the founding of the Li Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan had abolished the tiger talisman because his grandfather was named Li Hu, so he abolished the tiger talisman and changed it to a fish talisman, or a fish deed, which was shaped like a fish, and was cast with brass or gold and silver.

Generally, the fish talisman used by officials below the sixth rank is made of brass, silver is used above the fifth rank, and gold is used by the prince. As a prince, it is naturally different from ordinary ministers. His ID card is made of jade, called jade charity, and the emperor uses it as a dragon talisman. These ID cards cannot be mistaken, otherwise it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor and beheading.

I have seen this fish talisman. It is about 6 cm long and about 2 cm wide. It is divided into two halves on the left and right. There are "same"-shaped mortise and tenon in the middle to match the identity information of the talisman holder, including the name, the yamen and the grade of the official. Half of the fish talisman is stored in the local public security management department, and the other half is carried with you. This is to prevent fraud. As long as the two fish talismans are matched, the identity of the holder can be confirmed.

This is not only a proof of identity, but also a symbol of rights. Senior officials can verify subordinate officials with fish talismans, and also have the right to mobilize local garrisons.

Now that Li Jiancheng's jade contract is lost, if the fake Li Jiancheng outside has the jade contract, then he will become real. As the prince of Li Tang, he has the right to mobilize the city defense force, this should be the plan of the Ming Zun Sect.

The reason why they chose to act before dawn was probably because they were afraid that the battle between the three Li brothers to fight for the throne would end too quickly and affect their subsequent plans.

Among these major forces, the Ming Dynasty's supreme sect is the weakest, and it is almost impossible to seize power with a thousand Uighurs. So they created a fake Li Jiancheng and asked Li Jiancheng to mobilize the city defense force to deal with the three brothers of the Li family. This is the best interpretation of using the power to fight.

This can also explain why they trapped us here and why they chose such an opportunity to take action. First of all, they could not let Li Yuan continue to take power, so they killed Li Yuan, and secondly, they could not let the Li brothers decide the victory before dawn, so the winner would gain control of the imperial guards and control the entire Chang'an City. Therefore, they disrupted the battle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin for the throne, and delayed time with the poisonous gas and the bravery of the Uighurs, waiting for dawn.

At this moment, they gained the initiative. Li Jiancheng without jade certificates is not recognized. The Li Jiancheng outside is the real Prince of Li Tang. This is what makes me feel ironic.

The ID card is a proof and a restraint. Having an ID card means being recognized by the society, and not having an ID card means being abandoned. In later generations, those black household registrations cannot even go out to work. This is a tragedy as a human being, and it is a manifestation of social injustice. As a free person, he has been shackled by the society. Now Li Jiancheng is a black household registration. I think he will definitely be able to deeply understand this.

So, back to the original question, who is the person outside?

"It seems to be Yang Xuyan." Meixian guessed, "That look does not belong to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng's look is cruel, but his look is cold and indifferent to everything. This is the look of a killer."

Meixian reminded us to look back. It is indeed a bit like Yang Xuyan. I didn’t pay attention to it in the past. Now I think about it. Yang Xuyan and Li Jiancheng are really a bit similar. They are actually related. Their grandmother is a sister. Yang Jian’s wife and Li Hu’s wife are both Dugu Xin’s daughters, and the blood of the Dugu family flows in their bodies.

Yang Xuyan is familiar with Li Jiancheng. He is the core figure in the Prince's Group and eliminates dissidents for Li Jiancheng. Therefore, only Yang Xuyan is familiar with Li Jiancheng's tone and gait. Many of his usual habits and have the opportunity to steal Li Jiancheng's jade contract. Jade contract is very important to Li Jiancheng and is usually carried with him. Yang Xuyan must have seen it. It can be done whether it is imitation or stealing.

Thinking about this, Yang Xuyan's plan was not to use Dong Shuni to do what Lu Buwei did back then and assist his child in becoming emperor, but to pretend to be Li Jiancheng and sit on the throne directly. After all, it takes too long to let the child grow up, let alone not knowing whether the child is a man or a woman.

As an assassin, observing and imitating are basic skills. It seems that Yang Xuyan has been preparing for this day for a long time. Today, he transformed into Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, with the city defense force in his hand and is encircling us. We are trapped in the Tai Chi Hall and unable to escape. Everything outside is under his control. As long as everyone in the hall is eliminated, he will become the actual controller of Li Tang. The Daming Zun Church becomes Li Tang's national religion. This is indeed a good plan.

Although this move is risky, it has great benefits and is worth a try.

The dense rain of arrows made us retreat continuously. Behind us is Li Yuan’s residence, and there is no place to hide. The Tai Chi Hall where Li Yuan ascended the throne was about to become the tomb of the Li family. It is really a pity that we don’t want to be buried here. We really have to leave the secret passage in the Tai Chi Hall when we had no choice but to leave.

This secret passage can directly lead to Yin Zuwen's mansion and Yang Su's mansion in the past. This is what Yang Su made for rebellion. Another place is Yang Gong's treasure house. We also know from Lu Miaozi. Bian Bufu and An Long are taking people in the secret passage, but they just don't know what the situation is now.

"His Highness of the King of Qin arrived, and the city defense force stopped immediately." At the moment of crisis, another surprising voice came from outside.

Your Highness, King of Qin?

We looked at Li Shimin, and he also showed a puzzled expression. There was already a fake prince outside, and now another fake Qin King appeared. Arrow feathers stopped. We looked out. King Qin Li Shimin brought dozens of people to the outside of Tai Chi Hall, facing Li Jiancheng on the viewing platform.

We know this Li Shimin. He is Xu Ziling who pretended to be Li Shimin last night, and Chai Shao beside him is Kou Zhong. They both disappeared after being injured by Bi Xuan last night. Unexpectedly, they appeared at this critical moment.

Yang Xuyan treated Xu Ziling and the prince treated Qin Wang with false against false. If he had not experienced a series of changes last night, he would have been unable to identify them.

I looked back at Li Yuanji...

"Don't doubt the Holy Lord, I am true." Li Yuanji defended.

The city defense force outside had stopped, which gave us a chance to breathe. The imperial guards began to rush out of the Tai Chi Hall, and we were about to leave this dangerous place.

"Don't stop and destroy these rebels for this prince." Yang Xuyan urged with a bad voice.

"Who dares? My father is still in the Tai Chi Hall. Do you want to rebel?" Xu Ziling shouted sternly.

These two people are really involved in the role. The people from the Daming Zun Sect began to rush towards Xu Ziling. Xu Ziling was accompanied by the generals of the Tiance Mansion, and the imperial guards rushed towards the Uighurs. The real Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin appeared outside the Tai Chi Hall, causing an uproar and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Yang Xuyan's plan went bankrupt.

"I have a dragon talisman in my hand, so I will kill these Uighurs on the spot." Li Shimin took out the dragon talisman and said angrily.

No wonder he was annoyed. If Xu Ziling had not appeared in time, then Li Tang's Jiangshan would probably have fallen into the hands of others. No matter how his brothers fought, this Jiangshan was still the surname Li, and he would not allow outsiders to get involved.

Success or failure is only a moment. Yang Xuyan was full of confidence the moment before, but failed the next moment.

"You dare to ruin my big deal!" Yang Xuyan on the viewing platform said with a hatred, "Today I will wash the Tai Chi Palace."

Yang Xuyan soared down from the viewing platform, his palms came out together, and headed straight for Xu Ziling, who was pretending to be Li Shimin. As a result...

"How is that possible?" Wanwan said in surprise, "Xu Ziling didn't even catch a move."

Yes, Xu Ziling flew out directly, and with Kou Zhong, Yang Xuyan's body movements were too fast and his skills increased greatly. I finally understood why Li Yuan died last night. Because of Yang Xuyan's speed, everyone did not react. Last night, because of the short time, I didn't see clearly, but today's move was so shocking that he showed his magical body movement to the extreme.

Yang Xuyan's performance continued, his body movements were running through the crowd like ghosts. He really died if he touched them. Moreover, the dead were all dry and died. He was absorbing the essence of these people. Although I have never seen this situation, I know it.

"The Star-Absorbing Technique." I took a deep breath and sighed, "I was a little worried when I gave him the "Immortal Seal Method". I didn't expect that I really practiced it for him. I absorbed the internal energy of others for my own use. The key to the "Immortal Seal Method". Unfortunately, he practiced it in a wrong way."

The difference between "Bei Ming Divine Art" and "Star Absorbing Technique" is that the first one has no additives, which is green and harmless, while the second one is like a poison. It is not only poisonous, but also addictive and can't stop until he...

"He is possessed." Zhu Yuyan said in a deep voice.

That's right, Yang Xuyan is indeed a little abnormal at this moment. As he inhaled more internal energy, every move was made with all his strength, and he was not distinguished from each other. Even the people from the Ming Zun Sect were injured. I know that some villains will make a final counterattack after failure. That's what Yang Xuyan is like now. There is no one in the field who can join forces with him. After defeating Xu Ziling, he rushed towards the real Li Shimin, and he was knocked away by him.

If Bi Xuan’s breakthrough last night was surprising, then Yang Xuyan’s performance is now terrifying.

"Demons are rampant, do real people still have to watch from the wall?" Fan Qinghui said softly.

"In this way, I will eliminate demons and maintain the peace of the world." Ning Daoqi sighed.
