当下英盖史回归太医院，连忙合好了香茹饮汤，奉旨送去。那天策府众将，因天气炎蒸，大暑逼人，各脱衣冠乘凉。忽见家将飞报进来道：「圣旨到了！」众将连忙穿戴衣冠，走出外边来，一齐俯伏接旨。那天使即开读诏曰：
朕处深宫，尚且不胜酷暑，想众卿在天策府，必然烦热。特命太医虔合
香茹饮汤，一体颁赐，以明朕爱士之心。钦哉！
读罢诏书，众将谢恩，太医院入朝复旨。那程咬金忙走过来，说道：「这是皇上赐的香茹饮汤，必定加料，分外透心凉的，我们大家来吃。」先是秦王吃一杯，然后众将各吃一杯，惟有尉迟恭与程咬金，多吃两杯。见滋味又香又甜，两人贪嘴，不觉又吃了十来杯。咬金道：「妙啊，果然爽炔，透心凉的！少停，我们再来吃吧。」众人各各分开去玩耍了。
看看到晚，众人肚中忽痛起来。咬金道：「这也奇了！难道我吃了十来杯香茹饮汤，暑气还不怎么？我再去吃吧。」走过去又吃了几杯，谁想愈加痛甚，只叫：「啊唷唷唷！不好！不好！要出恭了！」快走到坑上，泻个不住。自此为始，一日最少也有五六十遍。敬德泄泻也是如此。秦王众将，略略少些，却也泻得头昏眼花，手足疲软。这个消息传出去，殷齐二王闻知，暗暗欢喜。高祖在内宫，闻天策府将士，吃了御赐香茹饮汤，一齐泻倒，不觉大惊，就传旨叫太医院来医治。二王闻知，又嘱托英盖史，速速送他们上路。英盖史不敢推辞，口称：「遵命。」走到天策府中来医治，更把大黄巴豆放在药内，煎将起来，众将吃了，一发泻得不堪。
正在这时，却好救星到了。原来李靖云游四海而归，恰好到长安来见秦王。行礼毕，秦王告知：「诸将中毒泄泻，未能全愈，军师何以治之？」李靖道：「不妨。」随将几丸丹药，化在水中，叫众将士吃了。果然妙药，吃下去，就不泻了。当下徐茂公道：「我们中了诡计，服下泻药，才会如此。太医院英盖史是和这事有关的，从他身上可以获得水落石出。」众将倒也罢了，只有程咬金、尉迟恭不肯干休，就要出气。无奈泻了见日，两脚疲软，行走不动。将息了数日，方才平复如故。两人私下商议，如此如此，遂同到大理寺府中来。衙役通报本官，大理寺出来迎接，升堂见礼，分宾主坐下。咬金道：「我们两个，今日要借这座公堂，审究一事。」大理寺道：「遵教。」二人起身到堂中，向南坐下。咬金道：「贵寺请便吧。「大理寺道：「晓得。」说著里面去了。咬金唤过两名快役道：「我要你拿太医院英盖史回话，你可快去拿来。」快手禀道：「求老爷出签。」咬金道：「怎么要签，你速拿来，不得有违。」快手应道：「晓得。」他知程将军的性格，不敢回言，出了府门，一路思想道：「这个人是强盗出身，知什么道理？那太医院是朝廷命宫，怎么就好去拿？今我写一个帖子，只说请老爷吃酒，他一定肯来的，那时就不关我事了。」算计已定，来到太医院，把帖子投进去。只见一个家丁出来说：「你们先去，我老爷就来。」两个快手回去，不表。
再说英盖英不知底细，只道大理寺请，即上马往大理寺来，到了门首，不见来接，心中暗想道：「定是他又陪别客在内。」竟自进去。到了仪门下马，走到里边，看见程咬金、尉迟恭坐在堂上，心内大惊，只得上前打拱。咬金见英盖史来，便大声喝道：「你这狗官，怎么不下跪？左右与我抓他上来。」两边衙役答应一声，赶过来将他剥去冠带。英盖史大怒道：「我是朝廷命官，怎敢如此放肆？」咬金喝道：「你既是朝廷的命官，怎敢药死朝廷的将官？快把香茹饮汤之事招来，免受刑法。」英盖史听了，大惊失色，勉强说道：「这是万岁爷的主意，与我无干。」尉迟恭见他面上失色，遂叫：「程将军，不必与他斗口，夹他起来，不怕他不招。」咬金道：「是。」就叫左右把这狗官夹起来，两边答应一声，就把英盖史夹入夹棍内，尽力一夹。那英盖史号呼大哭，几乎痛死，心中想道：「今日遇了这两个强盗，招也是死，不招也是死，不著招了，也免一时痛苦。」只得叫声：「愿招。」咬金吩咐画供，那英盖史一一写在纸上，呈将上来。程咬金与尉迟恭，看不出是什么字，便叫：「大理寺出来，念与我听。」那大理寺躲在屏门后观看，闻得叫唤，忙走出来，清清白白念与二人听了。二人大怒道：「可恨这两个奸王，如此作恶，烦贵寺把英盖史监下，待我奏过朝廷，然后与他讲究。」大理寺道：「领教。」就把英盖史收监，二人辞别回府。
次早，二人上朝，细细奏闻。高祖大怒，即著人去召殷齐二王，并传英盖史。不多时，英盖史唤至殿前，叫道：「此是殷齐二王的主意，与臣无干。」二王亦到，见事发觉，只得朝见父王。高祖道：「又是你们两个！」二王道：「臣儿怎敢？这是英盖史妄扳臣儿，希图漏网，待臣儿与他对质。」就走下来，英盖史见了二王，忙叫：「千岁，害得臣好苦！」殷王忙拔出宝剑，把英盖史砍为两段。高祖见了大怒道：「此事尚未明白，怎么就大胆把他斩了！」二王道：「臣儿问他，他言语支吾，一时性起，把他斩了。」高祖见了这事，明知二人同谋，欲要问罪，却是不忍父子之情，遂大气回宫，染成一病，不表。
再说元吉闻知高祖有病，即来与建成商议道：「王兄，今乘父王有病，我们只说守护禁宫，假传父王圣旨，兴兵杀入天策府，把他们众人个个结果何如？」建成大喜，准备进行不表。
再说秦王知父王气忿成疾，十分忧惧，众将屡劝秦王早即帝位，秦三不肯。一日，徐茂公来见秦王，说道：「主公，臣观天象，那太白经天，现于秦分，应在主公身上。主公可速即大位。」秦王道：「军师差矣！自古国家立长不立幼，今长兄建成，现为太子，九五之位，自然是他的。军师如何说出这话来？」
茂公见秦王不允，只得出来与众将商议道：「我算阴阳，明日是主公登位吉期。我劝主公即位，主公说是国家立长不立幼，再三推让。如今二王谋害主公，我们不得不自行主张。」咬金道：「我们去杀了两个奸王，不怕主公不登宝位。」茂公摇手道：「小可，此非善计。今晚你们众将，可如此如此，自然成事。」众将听了道：「妙计！妙计！」
商议已定，到了三更时分，众将顶盔贯甲，一齐到天策府敲门。秦王明知有变，不肯开门，众将见门不开，就爬上门楼，将蝇索拴缚好了，大家用力一扯，把一座门楼，就扯倒了。众将一齐拥进，秦王骇然。即忙出来，尚未开口，被咬金扶他上马，拥到玄武门，埋伏要路。殷王闻知这事，急请齐王来，道知此事，元吉道：「王兄不必著忙。如今可速领东宫侍卫兵马杀出，说是奉圣旨要诛乱臣贼子，秦王自然不敢抗敌。岂不一举成功？」建成大喜，即出令点齐侍卫兵马，元吉也带侍卫家将。建成赶到玄武门，不料尉迟恭奉军师将令，埋伏在此，看见建成领兵杀来，遂拍马上前，大叫：「奸王往那里走！」建成一见尉迟恭，心下著忙，便大胆喝道：「尉迟恭不得无礼，孤奉圣旨在此巡察禁门。你统众到此，敢是要造反么？左右与我拿下。」东宫侍卫还未上前，尉迟恭大喝道：「放屁，有什么圣旨？都是你奸王的诡计。今番断不饶情，吃我一鞭。」建成见不是路，回马便走。尉迟恭就把箭射去，正中建成后心，跌下马来，咬金从旁抢出，就一斧砍为两段。
后面元吉带了人马赶来，早有秦叔宝出来，大吼一声，举起双锏，把元吉打死。那侍卫兵将大怒，各各放箭，两边对射。秦王看见大叫道：「我们弟兄相残，与你们众将无干，速宜各退，无得自取杀戮。」那众将同秦王传令，方才散去。时高祖病已小愈，忽见尉迟恭趋入奏道：「殷齐二王作乱，秦王率兵诛讨，今已伏诛，恐惊万岁，未敢奏行，遣臣谢罪。」高祖闻言，不觉泪下，乃问裴寂道：「此事如何？」裴寂道：「建成、元吉，无功于天下，嫉秦王功高望重，共为奸谋。今秦王亲讨而诛之，陛下可委秦王以国务，无复事矣。」高祖道：「此朕之夙愿也。」遂传位于秦王。秦王固辞，高祖不许。秦王乃即皇帝位于显德殿，百官朝贺，改为贞观元年，是为太宗。尊高祖为太上皇，立长孙氏为皇后。文武百官，俱升三级，秦府将上，并皆重用。犒赏士卒，大赦天下，四海宁静，万民沾恩。有诗为证：
天眷太宗登宝位，近臣传诏赐皇封；
唐家景运从兹盛，舜日尧天喜再逢。
