It's early morning on the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude.
There were two hours left before the Xuanwu Gate Incident. As a confidant of Prince Li Jiancheng, I had just been force-fed a glass of intestinal poison.
Outside the door, Li Shimin's dead men have already arrived; inside, the princelings are preparing to take me as a backstop.
Death on both sides?
Amidst the violent beating of my heart, I awakened my "listening ears." As long as the other person breaks down emotionally, I can hear the most deadly secrets deep in his heart!
"The commander who led the poisoning team, your letter of liaison with the Turks was hidden under the bed board, right?"
"General Yuchi, are you still afraid to face the shadow of your past killings and taking merit?"
…
When dawn broke, the Xuanwu Gate was filled with blood.
I walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, walked up to the trembling Qiangu Emperor, and whispered in my ear:
"Your Highness King Qin, you don't want the secret of killing your brother and forcing your father to be known to the world, right?"
I will not be cannon fodder in this life, I will make the civil and military forces of the Tang Dynasty and Manchu Dynasty become my puppets!
