(There is also a change)

Prison.

Wei Zheng and the others reported to Li Chengqian the evidence they had related to Xu Jingzong and Li Tai, but Liu Feixu called Li You aside alone and whispered to him.

Li You nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's him." ”

Liu Feixu didn't speak, she quietly waited for Li You's instructions.

Li You pondered for a while, and said to Liu Feixu: "You are like this in this matter...... Remember, remember. ”

Liu Feixu nodded and immediately left the prison.

Seeing this scene in Li Chengqian's eyes, he knew that something extremely important had happened again. However, he completely trusted Li You and didn't ask.

After Wei Zheng and the others left, Li You pinched his eyebrows with his hand, carefully considered all the details, and checked for any other possible mistakes that he hadn't thought of.

At this moment, they have done their best to do what they should do, just waiting for Li Shimin to come and summon them, and the two sides will make final negotiations.

7:40 p.m., Nancheng, Flying Tiger Army Station.

Ma Lin, the general of the Thousand Bull Guard, came to the garrison of the Flying Tiger Army with 200 elites of the Thousand Cow Guard, and he hid on a street corner, looking at the gate of the Flying Tiger Army's camp, feeling uneasy.

He said to a eunuch beside him: "Gonggong Li, according to what we said, you go and pass the decree first." ”

Gonggong Li walked towards the gate of the Flying Tiger Army.

At 8 o'clock, a group of knights came out of the gate of the Flying Tiger Army, including Gonggong Li, who carried the lantern and shook it slightly a few times regularly as he walked.

It's a sign that things are going well.

Ma Lin's heart was much more steady, and after he waited for Gonggong Li and the others to go away, he walked towards the gate of the Flying Tiger Army's garrison with his soldiers and horses.

"Stop, who's who?" The guard at the door shouted.

"I'm Ma Lin, the general of Qianniuwei, and I'm ordered to enter the Flying Tiger Army on business." Marin said.

The guards examined the decree in Marin's hand and let them in.

Soon after, Marin and the others came to the official office of the Flying Tiger Army, and he secretly arranged for his subordinates to disperse, forming a siege of the official office, and he himself walked in with 30 guards.

At this time, an officer on duty from the Flying Tiger Army greeted him, and Ma Lin asked, "What about General Hou and General Gao?" ”

The officer on duty said, "They have just been passed by His Majesty's decree. ”

Ma Lin was still a little uneasy just now, but at this moment he was sure that Hou Cheng and Qualcomm had been transferred, and he was relieved. He raised the holy decree in his hand and said: "Your Majesty's holy decree is here, I am Ma Lin, the general of Qianniuwei, and I am ordered to take over the Flying Tiger Army. You immediately inform all the officers of the Flying Tiger Army to assemble at the official office, and this general will convey His Majesty's will. ”

The officer on duty said: "No, the general has an order, and without his own order, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier of the Flying Tiger Army." The matter of convening a meeting of officers must be ordered by the general himself. ”

Ma Lin said: "Hou Cheng and Gao Tong have been removed from their posts, and now they have been imprisoned, and I was ordered to take over the Flying Tiger Army, and now I am the supreme commander of the Flying Tiger Army, do you dare to disobey General Ben's orders?" ”

As soon as Marin's words fell, the soldiers beside him immediately drew their knives and put them on the neck of the officer on duty.

"Pat pat pat pat pat

At this moment, someone clapped his palms and walked out, and he smiled: "What a majesty! General Ma. ”

As soon as Ma Lin looked at the person, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - the person who came turned out to be Zhang Guigui, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army. After receiving Li You's order, Zhang Guigui galloped day and night, and finally rushed back to Chang'an at noon today.

Qianniuwei is actually the so-called Royal Forest Army, which is specialized in serving the powerful, and if it really starts, the Flying Tiger Army can destroy them in minutes.

At this moment, although Ma Lin saw that there were only two people in this hall, Zhang Guigui and the officer on duty, and there were 30 soldiers standing behind him, he still did not dare to move the idea of attacking Zhang Guigui.

He said with a smiling face: "General Zhang, brother, I am acting on orders, and I still look forward to General Zhang Haihan." ”

At this time, the sound of a large group of people running and the impact of knives and guns sounded outside. Soon, the Flying Tiger soldiers of the brigade poured in.

Marin was secretly glad that he didn't do it, otherwise, his life would have been over by now.

Then, Hou Cheng and Gao Tong also walked in, and behind them was Gonggong Li with his head drooping.

Ma Lin can understand it, it turns out that the Flying Tiger Army has already been prepared, and this is the rhythm of changing the dynasty.

Zhang Guigui said: "General Ma, wronged you and the people you brought to the living room to drink tea. ”

Marin said with a smile on his face: "Don't be wronged, you should be." After speaking, he obediently followed the Flying Tiger officers and soldiers who led the way.

Zhang Guigui said: "Qualcomm, you immediately enter the palace to report to His Highness." ”

Outside Chang'an City, the right Xiaowei station.

Under the stage, 10,000 soldiers in helmets and armor had gathered, holding weapons in one hand and torches in the other, and the firelight illuminated the young faces that looked a little nervous and excited.

Li Zhixian, the general of the Right Xiaowei, walked up to the platform, and he said loudly: "The brave soldiers of the Right Xiaowei are brewing a rebellion in the Great Wall, and I have received the order of Your Majesty, and the Right Xiaowei will enter the city tonight to quell the rebellion."

Right Xiaowei followed His Majesty to fight in all directions in his early years, and was a heroic army with brilliant achievements and glorious traditions. Now there is a rebellion in Chang'an City, His Majesty is in danger, and the people are about to fall into dire straits.

At this moment, Your Majesty has entrusted us with the glorious task of entering the city to quell the rebellion, and we must not live up to Your Majesty's expectations and this honor. ”

After speaking, he took the lead in shouting: "Defend Chang'an, protect Your Majesty." ”

The soldiers shouted with him: "Defend Chang'an, protect Your Majesty." The sound resounded in the sky.

Subsequently, the army of the right Xiaowei drove to Chang'an.

At Zuo Weiwei's station, the same scene happened. The general Huang Zheng took the soldiers to take the oath, drove out of the camp, and headed towards Chang'an City.

At this moment, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and Li Daozong also took their cronies and secretly assembled in Chang'an City.

In the garrison around Chang'an City, many people received orders from the generals Li Jing and Li Jing, and all of them were in a state of high combat readiness.

In the mansion of Chai Shao, the Xianggong of the State of Shengye Fang, near the palace, thousands of heavily armed soldiers were ready to go. The leading Wei general, Duan Zhan, and the Zhonglang general Chai Zhewei were waiting for Li Ke's final order.

At this moment, at the gates of Chang'an City, including the Imperial Palace, a large number of guards and soldiers have set up bows and crossbows and prepared rolling wood and thunder stones to prevent someone from attacking.

Liangyi Palace.

After dinner, Li Shimin came to the Liangyi Hall again, where he wanted to meet Li You and give him a last chance to stop.

Since 8:40, Li Shimin's premonition has been a little bad. Ma Lin, the general of Qianniuwei, went to take over the Flying Tiger Army, and there should be news coming, but there is still no news.

The minutes and seconds passed, and it was almost 9 o'clock, and there was still no news from Marin. Li Shimin couldn't sit still, and he shouted: "Ma Xuanliang." ”

"The minister is here." Ma Xuanliang came in in response.

Li Shimin said: "You immediately send someone to the Flying Tiger Army garrison to see what Ma Lin is doing?" ”

Ma Xuanliang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has arrived. ”

Li Shimin understood that something must have happened to Ma Lin.

Li You came over at this time, which showed that he had mastered the overall situation, and he was able to calmly come out of the prison and come to the Liangyi Palace, which showed that Li You was also in control of everything in the palace.

A sense of failure arose, and Li Shimin sat down in his chair dejectedly.

He said angrily: "Let him go away, I don't want to see him." ”

At this time, a person walked in, and it turned out to be Empress Changsun.

When Empress Changsun came to Li Shimin, she did not salute him according to the etiquette stipulated in the palace as before, but walked directly to his side, and said with a worried face: "Erlang, You'er is outside the door, you can meet him." If there's anything to talk about, you father and son should talk about it. ”

Li Shimin was not angry.

Seeing that he did not object, Empress Changsun said tentatively, "The concubine went and called him in." ”

Li Shimin still did not speak.

Empress Changsun got his approval, walked quickly to the door, and said to Li You, "You'er, come in." ”

Then, she said to Wang De, Ma Xuanliang and others: "You leave here for the time being, let the others leave here too." No one is allowed to come near here without my permission. ”

In the study, Li You saluted and said, "The son of the emperor sees his father." ”

Li Shimin pulled his face and didn't raise his eyelids.

Li You smiled and didn't care.

Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly played a round, and she beckoned: "You'er, come, sit next to your father." ”

Empress Changsun was originally worried that Li Shimin would hurt Li Chengqian and Li You, but now that she had understood the situation, she was a little worried that Li You would hurt Li Shimin. She now finds that Li You is really a powerful person, and even Li Shimin is not his opponent.

Li You sat next to Li Shimin and said, "Father, the retainer knows that you have an opinion on the retainer, but the retainer still has something to say to you. ”

He didn't care whether Li Shimin allowed it or not, so he said directly: "Father, you don't like your sons since you were a child, and you just ignore ...... except for reprimanding."

Li You babbled about his experience over the years, and he said: "Father, for so many years, how much have you contributed to the Tang Dynasty and for your father, and what have you asked for from you?"

Yes, later you trusted your sons very much, and for this trust, your sons forgot to die, and established countless feats. ”

Empress Eldest Sun also felt sorry for Li You, she said: "Yes, You'er has saved her concubines and other children more than once, and she has also saved Erlang you.

During the first Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, if You'er hadn't sent someone to rescue you, Erlang, you would really be in danger.

You'er has made too many contributions for Datang and Erlang, and in all fairness, no courtier in Datang has made more contributions than You'er. ”

Li You said: "Father, the sons don't ask for anything in return, and they don't want you to be close to the sons, but they won't force the sons and eldest brother to death for the sake of a Li Tai, right?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun said, "You'er, what you said is a bit too much. Although your father favors Li Tai, he has no intention of harming you. ”

Li You took out the evidence compiled by Wei Zheng and others, not only exposing Li Tai's crimes now, but also shaking out all the previous things.

He said with some sarcasm: "Father, this is your favorite son, how many people around him have he killed?" How many of the people who supported him in the past ended well? Yan Li was originally Li Tai's master, why did he hate him so much now, doesn't this explain the problem?

Why did my eldest brother and I oppose him, and why did the ministers oppose him? If he gains power, we will all die without a place to bury.

I'm really surprised, Li Tai is like a snake and scorpion, a despicable and shameless villain, you regard it as a treasure, and those of us who love you wholeheartedly, you treat it like dung and want to put it to death. ”

The more Li You spoke, the more angry he became, and he began to get excited.

He said: "Father, you don't care about us, let Li Tai punish us to death, we will never agree." ”

Although Empress Changsun knew that Li Tai had been persecuting Li Chengqian and had been targeting Li You, she didn't expect Li Tai to do such a vicious thing. She really sympathized with Li Chengqian and Li You, and began to hate Li Tai.

She said, "Erlang, Li Tai has gone too far. ”

Li Shimin was also a little moved when he heard Li Tai do so many vicious things, but he couldn't resist that in his heart, this is the father's love for his son, even if his son is heinous, he is still an angel in his heart.

Although Li Chengqian and others are also his biological sons, he just likes Li Tai in his heart, this kind of liking is unreasonable, it is a natural fate.

Moreover, Li Shimin will not be coerced, he is now in a weak position, and he is even more unwilling to be forced to deal with Li Tai.

He finally spoke, and he said, "Li You, what do you want to do, what do you want to do with Li Tai?" ”

Li Shimin's words made Li You very disappointed, he originally thought that Li Shimin had seen Li Tai's true face clearly and would uphold justice, but he didn't expect him to have such an attitude.

Li You was completely dead to Li Shimin, he gritted his teeth and said: "Either me and my eldest brother die, or he Li Tai dies." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was startled, but she did not persuade her. She knows Li You, for so many years, Li You has been treating her brothers and sisters well, and her brothers and sisters also respect Li You very much. Li Tai has done so many things against Li You in the past, but Li You did not attack Li Tai, with Li You's ability and his decisive character, if he wants to do this, 100 Li Tai will also die.

It seems that Li Shimin's attitude angered Li You.

Empress Eldest Sun is a smart person, she knows that if she persuades Li You at this time, Li You will also lose respect and trust in herself, and there will be no room for turnaround.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at her Tyrannosaurus rex husband, as well as the newly grown Tyrannosaurus rex, she was really at a loss.

Li Shimin was extremely angry, he wanted to kill Li You now, but he still kept some sanity and wanted to wait until the army outside the city entered the city.

Li You saw Li Shimin's attitude, it seemed that he was going to protect Li Tai to the death, he put his mind down, put aside all scruples, what the stability of the Tang Dynasty, what Li people, he didn't care about it all. He was determined to mutiny. As long as Li Shimin is overthrown, isn't it still a hand to let Li Tai die? !

He stopped talking nonsense with Li Shimin, he glanced at him coldly and walked towards the door.

At this moment, Li You's heart was really broken, he really didn't expect that everything he had done for Li Shimin for so many years was worthless. In Li Shimin's mind, there is no such son as him at all, only Li Tai.

From this moment on, Li Shimin no longer had any status in his mind, and he was just a stranger to him.

Li You went out of the study and was about to go to the prison to pick up Li Chengqian, so he simply launched a mutiny and supported Li Chengqian to ascend the throne.
