On the ninth day of April, early in the morning.

A huge black cloud was like a giant palm, tightly pressing down on Chang'an City.

Black clouds covered the top, and even if it was early in the morning, Chang'an City was still dim and there was no light.

The faces of the hundred officials outside the Taiji Palace were expressionless, waiting silently for the court.

Knock –

Knock –

……

The dull bell came out from the Taiji Palace, and an attendant came out to lead the hundred officials into the palace, and the hundred officials lined up neatly, and slowly walked into the Taiji Hall with heavy steps.

After the hundred officials stood up, Li Shimin's soft bridge was carried into the main hall by the four attendants, and it was not until under the throne that Li Shimin got up with the support of the attendants.

Then he snorted and shook off the chamberlain, took a deep breath, and calmly walked to the throne and sat down.

"See Your Majesty!"

In this oppressive atmosphere, the Chinese martial arts hundred officials shouted at the mountain.

"All the ministers are flat!"

Li Shimin's voice was hoarse.

When the civil and military officials got up, Li Shimin looked at the hundred officials expressionlessly, and waved his hand to signal the chamberlain to step forward and proclaim:

I bow to the mandate of heaven and keep the ancestors,...... The prince is young, young and loving, and he is induced. The teacher of the pro-family, the hope is new. However, he was fierce and stubborn, disobeyed his relatives, and killed ministers without permission. …… The crown prince Cheng Qianli recalled Chang'an, but he repented of the claustrophobic East Palace.

"Ahh After a decree was announced, there were exclamations in the hall, this is an edict equivalent to the abolition of the prince!

In the past, the charges and severity of the charges and words used by Li Chengqian can be said in the end: Abolish the crown prince and demote the crown prince......

"Your Majesty, this decree cannot be carried out!" Zhang Chengxing, the provincial servant under the door, was the first to stand up and object.

During the Zhenguan period, the edicts of the imperial court were all drafted by the Zhongshu Province, reviewed by the Ministry of Disciples, and then sent to the Shangshu Province for execution.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

……

As Zhang Chengxing spoke, dozens of ministers openly stood up against it.

These ministers include Shangshu Youcheng, Household Shangshu Cheng Mingzhen, Officials Shangshu Du Zhenglun, Ministry of Industry Shangshu Xue Dading, Ministry of Rites Lang Yu Suiliang, Zhongshu Sheren Liu Zheng, Ministry of Officials Liu Xiangdao and so on.

Some of these ministers were loyal to Li Chengqian, but most of them saw that Li Shimin was weak and worried that the crown prince would be moved at this time, and Li Shimin would die in chaos.

But Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, saw that a group of ministers came out to resist the order, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, and he said secretly: This rebel has won so many people's hearts?

Think about Longshouyuan, Lingzhou, Luoyang, and Yandu Daxingtai, and even the entire army of tens of thousands of Goguryeo, as well as some schools in Chang'an, as well as library buildings built in various places......

These are Li Chengqian's spheres of influence.

Rao is Li Shimin has experienced a hundred battles, and he is also shocked when he thinks of this.

Secret Dao: If I eat to prolong my life, my life will be boundless...... No wonder this rebel leaves no room at all.

The more Li Shimin looked at the minister who stood up, the more ugly his face became, and he secretly regretted that he did not use the strategy of the eldest grandson Wuji to pull out Li Chengqian's wings first.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin slowly turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was happy in his heart, raised his hand and stroked his beard lightly when he saw this, and then walked out slowly, saluted Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter involves His Royal Highness the Prince, and he should act cautiously, and what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done will be punished after the court discussion." ”

"Ahem...... Your Majesty, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beheaded Wang Wendu, he sent someone to send a note to ask for sin, and the song Shu explained in detail that Wang Wendu was rude and foolish in the camp...... Ahem...... Disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, several times violated military orders and never showed the holy decree.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered his beheading for the rules of the monarch's ministers and the military law of the battalion. ”

Ma Zhou saw the opportunity to intercede, but he was getting sicker and sicker recently, and he couldn't stop coughing.

Li Shimin said indifferently: "How can these be credible when these are his words?" Don't talk about anything else, just ask which of these Manchu civil and military dares to run rampant in front of him?"

Ma Zhou asked at once.

Oh, yes! Except for those who don't want to die, who dares to be presumptuous in front of Li Chengqian?

Isn't that looking for death?

Wang Wendu......

Yu Suiliang took a step forward and said with a stern expression: "Your Majesty, it is a chaotic fate for the ministers to send Wang Wendu as the general manager of the Liao expedition, Wang Wendu has no merit, and the other is incompetent, how can he bear the heavy responsibility of the Liao expedition?"

Li Shimin, who asked this, was also speechless for a while.

Although Wang Wendu has a good background, it is really inappropriate to send him as the general manager of the expedition to Liao.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't say anything, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The former Sui died due to the conquest of Liao, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been stationed in the bitter cold land for several years in order to destroy Goguryeo, so there is today's situation.

Now that it is done, but a rampant and incompetent person is sent to be the governor of the Liao expedition, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince return to the court with confidence?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince resisted the order to kill Wang Wendu, which was really a move to save the Tang Dynasty, and he was not guilty! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Li Shimin's eyes erupted with fire, and he looked at Baiguan coldly and said coldly: "Even if Wang Wendu is not in a thousand ways, he also went with my holy decree, not to mention that I am not an unreasonable person, if he just detains Wang Wendu and plays it to me, will I punish him so badly?"

Originally, Li Shimin was also a little dissatisfied with the eldest grandson Wuji sending Wang Wendu to Liaodong, but when he heard Yu Suiliang keep saying that Li Chengqian killed Wang Wendu right, that was the mistake he sent people.

How did Li Shimin endure it?

Moreover, in Li Shimin's view, if Li Chengqian did not kill Wang Wendu, even if he disagreed with him on the matter of conquering Liao, he would not have punished Li Chengqian so seriously.

When the hundred officials heard this, they also felt that Li Chengqian had gone too far, and the hall fell silent for a while.

Li Shimin saw that the ministers were silent, so he said forcefully: "Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, added the secretary of the military department, and the general manager of the Liao army, and immediately went north to transfer 8,000 soldiers and horses to the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion, drove Liaodong in the starry night, and assisted Zong Zhengqing to summon the prince Chengqian back to Chang'an. ”

Li Daozong walked out embarrassedly, saluted Li Shimin, and was embarrassed for a long time before he spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister-minister has been unwell this spring, and I am afraid it will be difficult to reach Liaodong alive." ”

Li Daozong covered his mouth and coughed a few times as he said to show that he was not in good health.

Li Shimin's eyes instantly sharpened when he looked at Li Daozong.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Daozong with a mocking look in his eyes, and said sarcastically: "What King Jiangxia said is not true, right?

I remember that the day before the death of the emperor's grandson, King Jiangxia also held a banquet in the palace, and for a whole day from morning to night, King Jiangxia personally entertained the guests.

At the banquet, drinking and laughing, he didn't look like a patient. ”

"Chengfan, don't you even listen to me?" Li Shimin looked at Li Daozong and asked.

Li Daozong and the eldest grandson Wuji have always been at odds, and when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji breaking through him in public, he was angry in his heart, and said in public: "Your Majesty misses His Royal Highness the Prince, and wants to call him back to Chang'an, why do you want to send a Wang Wendu who is not enough to do and more than to lose?"

Because Wang Wendu was not careful, he was angry that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed, and he sent his ministers to lead a large army forward, isn't this to force His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rebel?

If the minister is going, won't he become an accomplice in forcing the prince to rebel?"

Some ministers felt that they were very reasonable, and when they looked at Li Shimin, who was on top, they felt that Li Shimin just wanted to force Li Chengqian to oppose him, and he thought in his heart how he should stand in line......

"You!"

Li Shimin was speechless angrily.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji said loudly: "Dare Li Daozong dare to slander the monarch, provoke the relationship between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask Li Daozong to be punished for the crime of disrespect!" ”

"Ministers, please punish Li Daozong for the crime of great disrespect."

A group of henchmen of the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and echoed.

Li Daozong saw that the eldest grandson Wuji openly defiled himself, he was afraid and angry, and immediately refuted loudly: "Eldest grandson Wuji, you traitorous villain, you still dare to spew blood, you first invited the Taoist priest who entered the elixir to His Majesty, and then sent Wang Wendu to force His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kill people, and now he is instigating His Majesty to force His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rebel."

You see that Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, and he wants to kill the crown prince and then seek to usurp the throne! ”

Yu Suiliang saw that someone was starting, and he knelt down on his knees again and said: "Your Majesty, please think about it, all this is a conspiracy of the eldest grandson Wuji, if you can't bear the charge for him!"

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yingrui Shenwu is killed, how will you be written in the green history! ”

Qi Suiliang has always had the idea of Jun Yaoshun, and he is valued by Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, so he is very grateful to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian in his heart.

Based on this gratitude, he sincerely hopes that this pair of father and son, the most honorable father and son today, can be a father and a son, govern the Tang Dynasty well, and leave a good reputation in the history of the youth.

"Bang!"

Li Shimin, who had eased up, was furious, Huo Di got up and kicked down Li Chengqian's throne next to him.

There has always been a throne for Li Chengqian next to Li Shimin's throne, and although Li Chengqian has not been in Chang'an all these years, that throne has always been prepared for him.

He roared loudly: "He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shenwu Yingrui, am I incompetent and incompetent?"

Li Shimin roared back and forth in the main hall.

"He disobeyed my will and slaughtered the minister at will, I just wanted to recall him back to Chang'an and discipline him, and you jumped out and scolded me one by one, as if I was going to kill him."

Li Shimin said with tears in his eyes when he said this: "My grandson has just passed away, and that is the emperor's grandson." I am hard-hearted, and it is impossible for me to kill my own son at this time! ”

Li Shimin said that he actually cried in front of the palace.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly supported Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, don't be sad!" ”、

As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

The hundred officials below didn't know what to say when they saw this.

Li Shimin was helped back to the throne by the eldest grandson Wuji, and after a while, he wiped away his tears, raised his head and looked at Li Daozong, and said in a sad tone: "Chengfan, I don't have to worry about sending others to me, and Chengqian may not be willing to come back......"

"Your Majesty—" Li Daozong became more and more embarrassed when he heard Li Shimin talk to him like this, and he muttered for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Go to the minister!" ”

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said again: "You tell Cheng Qian, he doesn't care if his son dies." What if he doesn't live long, he doesn't even care about my throne?"

Li Daozong lowered his head and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's spirit relaxed, he suddenly felt drowsy, and tears and snot flowed down together.

The chamberlain, who had already been instructed, hurriedly waved his hand behind the throne.

Then the hundred officials, who were thinking about what Li Shimin had just said, saw the dusty Taoist who walked out from behind Li Shimin's throne.

Dao Yi held a tray in his hand, covered with a piece of red silk.

Some ministers have already guessed what is on it, and they think it is not good, but they know what to say.

Only Li Anren, the left concubine of the East Palace, saw Dao Yi, his eyes were red, and he wanted to pounce on him immediately and bite him to death.
