Wude Hall is Li Yuan's residence, although he is no longer the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he still lives here, but Li Shimin ordered that all his father's concubines and children were sent here to be guarded.

Li Yuan was playing chess with Concubine Zhang Shu's son Li Yuan at this time, this Li Yuan had to be made up, and at the age of eight, he could familiarize himself with the "Analects" and "Book of Songs", and could recite poems and lyrics by himself, which was liked by Li Yuan.

"Will!" Li Yuan said crisply.

"Ahh Li Yuan looked at the old handsome man who was about to die, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yuan'er actually killed me so much that I lost my armor, which really made my face shameless!" ”

"In that case, then I'll help my father get rid of this little bastard!" A hideous voice came, and then Li Yuan only felt that the sword light flashed in front of him, and he didn't know what to do.

His head was cut off in an instant and landed on the chessboard.

"Ahh Yuan'er! Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but lose his heart, raised his head and looked, but saw that Li Shimin was taking Cheng Zhijie and other guards of the original Tiance Mansion to his room.

"Shimin, what are you doing here, why did you kill your brother?" Li Yuan said angrily.

"Humph! If I don't kill him, this is the one who will sit on the throne of Tang in the future! Li Shimin said with a hideous face: "What I can't get, others can't even think of!" ”

"What Tang Wang?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Yuming only recognizes you, the emperor, but not me, the emperor, and said that because I killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, even if I will obey him in the future. The throne of the Tang King will also fall into the hands of your other sons......" Li Shimin said angrily: "Since I can no longer get the throne of the Tang King, then no one wants to be the Tang King!" ”

With that, he lifted the blood-dripping saber and approached Li Yuan step by step.

Li Yuan was so frightened that he immediately jumped up and stepped back. As he retreated, he said, "Li Shimin, what do you want to do?" I'm your father! ”

"Humph! Father? You father is incompetent! Li Shimin said angrily at this time: "Since the original army, whether it is entering the customs, exterminating Xuju, attacking Liu Wuzhou, occupying Bashu, and breaking Xiao Milling...... Which fierce battle is not presided over by me? Your favorite Li Jiancheng lost Hebei and Hedong in a row. Not to mention Li Yuanji. He never won a battle. But in your mind, I am not as good as Li Jiancheng, I don't make me do, I even set him up! Otherwise, how could I, Datang, be defeated step by step in the pattern of dominating the world? ”

"So, today I will let you know: if you have eyes but no beads, you don't know what will happen to you!" With that, Li Shimin waved the saber in his hand, raised it high, and slashed straight at Li Yuan's neck.

Li Yuan was taken aback, he never expected that his son would dare to kill his father. But it's normal to think about it, Li Shimin even killed his brother and younger brother, why wouldn't he kill him.

So, he hurriedly dodged to the left, trying to dodge the knife.

However, he has been pampered for a long time, his four bodies are not diligent, and his martial arts have long been abandoned. Although he tried his best to dodge, he couldn't dodge it, and he was still slashed in the shoulder by Li Shimin, his entire left arm was cut off, and blood sprayed wildly.

Even though Li Yuan fainted in pain, Li Shimin showed no mercy, and waved his saber again, directly cutting Li Yuan's throat, making the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty immediately swallow his breath.

"Zhijie, dragged the emperor's body out and buried it, saying that he had just died of illness, and posthumously named Gaozu." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

After Cheng Zhijie answered, he ordered two personal soldiers to drag Li Yuan's body out.

At this time, Li Shimin laughed again and said: "Everyone kill me well, all the people in the Wude Palace, all the men are not left, kill them all!" ”

His psyche was completely distorted, and he was doing the last madness before he perished.

At this time, the Tang army in Chang'an City also knew that the Zhou army would launch a general attack tomorrow, and Chang'an would definitely be lost immediately. They also lost the courage to continue fighting, and began to rob large families in the city, so that they could make a profit.

As a result, the Xijing of the Great Sui Dynasty and the capital of the Tang Dynasty were suddenly subjected to unprecedented disasters, countless shops were looted and even set on fire, and many merchants were killed by defeated soldiers because of resistance. Even the mansions of the ministers of the DPRK and China were not spared, and the homes of Wang Gui, Ma Zhou and others were ransacked.

The intelligence department in Chang'an City quickly reported the situation to the liaison officer of the intelligence department outside the city. Naturally, the officials of the Ministry of Intelligence did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Yuming.

After Yuming learned about this, he naturally didn't want Chang'an City to suffer such a catastrophe. Either way, this is his future turf. So, he gave the order to launch an attack in advance and no longer waited for Li Shimin to reply.

After the Zhou army launched an attack, they found that only a few Tang soldiers on the city wall were still on duty, and when they saw the Zhou army attacking, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The Zhou soldiers quickly climbed over the city walls and opened the gates.

As the four city gates opened, hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops rushed in, and began to clear the defeated Tang army in the city, extinguish the fire in the city, and restore normal order in the city.

And Yu Ming led the army to attack the palace, preparing to arrest Li Shimin.

The forbidden army of the Tang army defending in the palace almost surrendered to the wind after seeing the Zhou army attacking, and even the generals of the forbidden army expressed their willingness to bring a guide for the emperor of the Great Zhou.

"What about Li Shimin and Li Yuan? Where are they? Yu Ming asked in a deep voice.

"The Emperor went to the Emperor's residence. They should all be in the Wude Hall by now! He Chang replied tremblingly.

"Take me there!" Yuming Road.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of He Chang, Yu Ming and a cadre of Zhou soldiers came to the Wude Palace. But when they looked up, they were shocked.

Because the Wude Hall has already been lit with fire, and the corpses of the slain children can be seen everywhere inside and outside the hall.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Yu Ming hurriedly shouted.

The crowd immediately went to a nearby well to fetch buckets of water, and then managed to extinguish the fire.

Yu Ming, He Chang, Qin Qiong and others covered their noses and walked into the Wude Palace, and soon found Li Yuan's body.

"Ahh Li Yuan turned out to be dead! ”

"Who killed you?"

Everyone was amazed.

After He Chang checked the corpses of the children on the ground at this time, Fang was a little frightened and said, "Your Majesty, these dead children are all born to Concubine Li Yuan. It seems that he was killed not long ago. ”

"Strange, who did this? It seems that he has a deep hatred with Li Yuan. Even his youngness will not be spared! Yu Ming was also a little surprised.

At this time, Qin Qiong dragged a middle-aged man who was half-dead and wearing the armor of a military general of the Tang Army and walked in front of Yuming.

"Your Majesty, the last general found this guy and dozens of Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers behind the Wude Palace, and fought for a long time before taking it down, and then when I asked the people of the forbidden army, I learned that he was Li Shimin's confidant Cheng Zhijie." Qin Qiong arched his hand and said.

"Cheng Zhijie?" Yu Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly tugged at the hem of this person's clothes and asked, "You honestly tell me, where is Li Shimin??" ”

Cheng Zhijie was already out of breath and out of breath at this time, he glanced at Yuming and the others and said, "Don't waste your efforts, King Qin has already fled." You can't catch up! Cheng is here to intercept you! ”

"Uncle Bao, take this person down and torture him! Be sure to ask where Li Shimin fled to! Yu Ming let go of Cheng Zhijie, but he was a little annoyed in his heart. He knows Li Shimin's ability, if the tiger returns to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.

At this time, a cadre of the former Tang Dynasty military attachés, such as Pei Lian, Ma Zhou, Wang Gui, Yang Shidao, Qu Tutong and others all came to see Yuming with trepidation.

All of them were carrying thorns on their backs, **** upper bodies, and all of them looked frightened.

"See Your Majesty!"

"The sinner doesn't know that Da Zhou Tianwei didn't come in time, it's really a sin!"

"I hope Your Majesty will be magnanimous and forgive me!"

These ministers immediately knelt in the Wude Palace.

"Get up! I didn't bow down in my big week! Yu Ming waved his hand and motioned for these military attaches of the original Tang Dynasty to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone stood up, Fang was busy showing his loyalty, saying that he had been deceived and intimidated by Li Yuan before, so he was forced to be a thief, but now that Wang Shi came, they knew that they had done something wrong in the past and should not fight against Da Zhou. Now they are willing to descend to Zhou, thinking that His Majesty is loyal and doing something practical for the surname of the world.

Yu Ming naturally knew that these people wanted to continue to be officials in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty did lack officials now, and he also needed to use these people to balance the factional contradictions within his ministers and generals.

So, he said, "Since everyone is willing to be loyal to me, and I do need to be hired by my side. But when you arrive in the Zhou Dynasty, you have to start from scratch, no matter how big an official you were in the Tang Dynasty before. In my Great Zhou, I can only use it according to the rules of the Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty. If you can't accept it, go home to your own people! ”

Everyone didn't even dare to say that they would abide by the laws and regulations of the Zhou Dynasty and be loyal to Yuming, even if it was from the nine petty officials, they would not hesitate to do so.

"Good! Then you can clean up the gold and silver at home, arrange your family, and after a few days, you will go back to Luoyang with me! Yu Ming said loudly.

The ministers hurriedly shouted long live, and then retreated one after another.

After these Tang Dynasty ministers left, Qin Qiongfang stepped forward and reported to Yu Mingyu: "Your Majesty, you have been tortured!" Cheng Zhijie confessed that Li Yuan and those young people were killed by Li Shimin, because His Majesty refused to make him the king of Tang, and only recognized Li Yuan and Li Yuan's other sons, so he killed his father and younger brother in a fit of anger. ”

"What? Li Shimin was so mad that he was so mad? After hearing this, Yuming was also surprised. He never expected that Li Shimin would actually kill his father and brother.
