It was Li Chengqian who sent people to collect them from village to village.

He treated these soldiers like his own brothers. They not only ate the best food, but also used the best things.

Every soldier has undergone rigorous training and can be considered an elite soldier.

This is a force that is not subject to any constraints and only obeys Li Chengqian.

He only needs to go through the baptism of war once to become an elite soldier!

This was so that when he wanted to take action against the aristocratic families in the future, he wouldn't have to argue so much in the court. Even if the imperial court didn't send troops, Li Chengqian still had his own private army.

Li Shimin probably would never have imagined that his Crown Prince, who seemed to be idle and not doing his job all day, had quietly built up his own power in Xianyang.

This is right next to my bed. No matter which dynasty it is, if any prince is discovered, it will be a taboo.

Moreover, the offerings from so many people are an astronomical figure, and no one can do it perfectly without revealing any flaws.

Unfortunately, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was formed when Li Chengqian was seven years old. By the time he and Li Shimin applied to go to Xianyang to study those strange and tricky skills, the entire Xianyang city, from top to bottom, had already been shaped like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It's not the shape of a prince, and now the grass on the grave is two meters high! His influence is like an invisible net, which has spread throughout Xianyang without him noticing, and all of this will become his powerful weapon in this power struggle.

The news of Li Shimin's sudden death was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves and catching everyone off guard.

Once this emperor, who was like a stabilizing force, fell, the ambitions that were usually suppressed by his majesty began to grow wildly and involuntarily like demons released from the darkness, and spread like weeds inside and outside the court.

As soon as King Li Tai of Wei received the news, he anxiously summoned all his confidants to his mansion.

There was an atmosphere of tension and excitement in his mansion, as if a fateful storm was about to brew here.

Li Tai sat in the upper seat, his eyes sweeping over his trusted followers sitting below. His brows furrowed slightly, as he pondered to himself that there were only a handful of people in the court, and even fewer who truly had a say.

Apart from Wei Ting and Du Chuke, who are somewhat influential, Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai, apart from their prominent family backgrounds that can add some prestige to themselves, really have no talents to show off.

Fortunately... Li Tai's eyes fell on the three middle-aged men in luxurious clothes sitting in front of him, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

These three people exuded an innate noble temperament, which was the unique aura of aristocratic families. Even when facing King Wei Li Tai, these people were not even a little bit behind.

Li Tai was unhappy, but he didn't show it.

"Everyone, I think you've all received the news. The entire palace is under martial law, and the Qianniu Guards have surrounded it tightly. My uncle has taken over the palace, and it's very likely that my father has passed away."

"I suppose you all already know why I called you here today?"

Li Tai broke the silence, his voice echoing in the quiet hall with a hint of eagerness and expectation.

"Your Highness, how sure are you?" The middle-aged man in the lead narrowed his eyes, his gaze as deep as a pool. He stared closely at Li Tai who was sitting in the upper seat, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

Li Tai shook his head helplessly, a wry smile on his face: "I'm not sure."

"The entire court is leaning towards my eldest brother, even though I've already earned the emperor's favor and moved into the Wude Hall. But none of those important officials are on my side. Instead, they're siding with a prince who spends all his time pursuing illicit tricks. Wouldn't a man like that, even if he became emperor, still be a tyrant?"
