Fang Xuanling was the first to wake up from the shock, saluted Li Chengqian, and said sonorously: "Where is the old minister's mistake, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for advice." ”

Li Chengqian no longer concealed it at this time, and snorted coldly: "Could it be that Liang Guo has forgotten our argument in the Governor's Mansion?"

At that time, King Gu said that where to recite the scriptures on which mountain, to deal with the Mobei people, you must use the Mobei rules to deal with them. ”

When Li Shimin and the ministers heard Li Chengqian say this, their hearts were bright, Li Chengqian was foreshadowing at that time, and this could have nothing to do with him.

"The old minister wants to hear His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talk about the rules of Mobei, is it cruel to freeze everyone to death?" Fang Xuanling was also ruthless at this time, and directly ridiculed Li Chengqian for being cruel and murderous.

Li Chengqian, who had entered the battle mode, was not affected by Fang Xuanling, and sneered and said loudly: "Liang Guogong is really old and confused, and he has forgotten everything. At that time, Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan wrote to his father and said, 'The Tang Dynasty has destroyed the Turks, and the Turks should be slaves and maids to the Tang Dynasty, and they will never be able to turn over.' 'Today, the Tang Dynasty destroyed Xue Yantuo, and Xue Yantuo's remnants should be slaves and maids.

This is exactly the way of responding to Confucius's 'repaying grievances with straightforwardness', why should Liang Guogong oppose it?

I'm afraid I have other intentions, right?"

As soon as Li Chengqian said that Fang Xuanling had no intentions, tens of thousands of soldiers kneeling on the ground below shouted long live to Li Shimin Mountain.

Li Shimin and the others couldn't help but look down, not knowing what they were going to do.

After a while, the mountain shouting stopped, and a military man stood up and said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty Fang Xuanling is the traitor who framed His Royal Highness the Prince, please quickly behead Fang Xuanling." ”

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, looked at the strong man and said loudly: "What? Do you make it clear?"

The soldier wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and loves the people...... The soldier first praised Li Chengqian, and then told some rumors in the military camp these days.

At this time, even the most dull people knew that this matter was planned by Li Chengqian.

After the strong man finished speaking, the tens of thousands of soldiers below shouted in unison again, asking Li Shimin to cure Fang Xuanling's crime of rebellion.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling's face turned pale with fright, knowing that he was speechless, he looked at Li Shimin with tears in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister didn't ......" Before he finished speaking, he fell on the ground and cried bitterly.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and couldn't bear it, stepped forward to help Fang Xuanling, and solemnly assured him: "Xuanling rest assured that I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, how can I be coerced by villains." ”

After that, he turned around and said in a deep voice: "Someone is here to send the prince back to recuperate." ”

Li Shimin actually wanted to put Li Chengqian under house arrest, and none of the ministers dared to speak.

Li Chengqian's eyes widened and he looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.

Before Li Chengqian could react, several forbidden soldiers were about to step forward to send him back when they heard the order.

Wang Fangyi stepped forward and stood in front of Li Chengqian, drew the sword at his waist and shouted, "Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

Wang Fangyi's shout followed the East Palace guards who came up one after another, and formed a confrontation with the forbidden army.

Li Shimin was furious when he saw this, and pointed at Wang Fangyi and the others and said loudly: "Are you going to rebel?"

Hearing this, Wang Fangyi turned his hand upside down, clenched his fist and bowed his head: "The minister doesn't dare, but what His Majesty gave just now was a chaotic order, and the minister swore to death." ”

When Li Shimin was shocked by the boldness of Wang Fangyi and others, he saw Li Chengqian take off a jade pendant from his body and throw it down the city wall.

As soon as the tens of thousands of troops below saw Li Chengqian's jade pendant, they all stood up with a bang.

Then I heard the slogan "Protect the prince, punish the adulterer" in the crowd.

This change suddenly attracted the attention of everyone on the city tower under the city wall, only to see these unarmed soldiers rushing to the city gate with their bare hands.

"Your Majesty!" Li Shiji looked at Li Shimin and wanted to ask him for an idea.

Li Shimin looked at the big-headed soldier who was kneeling and kowtowing to him just now and stood up, only to realize that the situation was serious, and looked at Li Chengqian and said in a trembling voice: "Chengqian, do you want to follow the changes of Xuanwumen?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, absolutely not!" Fang Xuanling straightened up, and persuaded Li Chengqian in an anxious voice.

The other ministers also looked at Li Chengqian, not knowing what choice he would make.

Li Chengqian stood behind the guards of the East Palace, calmly looked at everything in front of him, and said lightly: "Erchen never thought of letting his father be the emperor. ”

"You're going to kill me?" Li Shimin's voice was cold.

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "My father's words are serious, how dare my sons and daughters do such a rebellious thing, and these soldiers are all loyal and brave people, how can they help a person who kills the king and kills his father?"

Today, the sons really just want to advise their father on the national policy, so the soldiers are unarmed——"

As Li Chengqian was talking, he heard someone in the city shouting "protect the prince", and it was obvious that the soldiers outside the city had rushed into the city.

Li Chengqian turned back to Liu Kui and said, "Don't let them rush indiscriminately, so as not to hurt people's lives." Liu Kui hurriedly walked to the city wall to give the order.

The sound of the rushing and killing below became smaller, and Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and continued: "It's just that I didn't expect my father to be so stubborn, and he always suspected that his sons and daughters were plotting rebellion."

If Erchen is brought back today, I'm afraid he will die without a place to bury, right?"

At this time, of course, Li Shimin couldn't admit it, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "I just want to teach you a lesson." ”

"Haha, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, father and son, everything is a misunderstanding." Yang Hongli stood up and said with the mud.

Li Chengqian ignored him and directly scolded Li Shimin: "Even if my father doesn't kill his sons, what about others?"

Saying that, he looked at Fang Xuanling.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't reveal your whereabouts." Fang Xuanling also felt very wronged.

Li Chengqian sneered and said: "You didn't reveal the whereabouts of the lonely king, why did you send someone to see Po Yan and order him to play his father in public, 'It was Tumidu that day, I saw my father charging in person, and I guessed that it was the lonely king who was surrounded by Wusu'?"

Li Shimin and the generals all looked at Fang Xuanling in shock when they heard this, only Hou Junji's indifferent smile on his face flashed away.

Fang Xuanling was shocked when he heard this, and said, "When will the minister send someone to see Po Yan?"

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice when he heard this: "Take the mother-in-law!" ”

"Cheng Qian, since you found out that Xuan Ling sent someone to see Po Yan, why didn't you come to report it to me?" Li Shimin felt that there was something inside.

Li Chengqian said angrily: "Has my father seen his sons and ministers these days?"

Li Shimin had an embarrassed look on his face and muttered, "I've been so tired these past few days. ”

Li Chengqian immediately said sarcastically: "So after coming to Lingzhou for so many days, you don't say a word about the leakage of your son's whereabouts?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt even more sorry and didn't know what to say, but he saw Liu Renliang escorting Po Yan to the city tower.

As soon as Li Shimin saw Po Yan coming up, he asked murderously: "Say! Who told you to say that Tumidu saw me charging and guessed that it was the prince who was surrounded by Wufu?"

Li Shimin can be said to be quite dissatisfied with this, because it was his fault to say that Li Chengqian was almost captured.

Po Yan didn't know what was going on, and was stunned when he heard this: "It is indeed my father who saw Tian Khan charging into battle and guessed that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty was surrounded. ”

Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, and he looked at Li Chengqian with his eyes like fire.

"Why don't you report to Your Majesty who has seen you in the past two days, and what promise did he make to him?" Liu Renliang knew that Po Yan was timid, and hurriedly reminded him.

Hearing this, Po Yan suddenly said: "Liang Guogong's relatives came to see me, and said that as long as I told my father in public about seeing Tian Khan and guessing the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, I would be allowed to go back to Mobei to be Hui Khan." ”

"Ahh

There was a gasp from the castle tower.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said sadly: "Xuanling! I have never failed you, just now I ordered the prince to be locked up in order to defend you. With tears in his eyes, he was obviously very sad.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin believing Po Run's words, his face was discouraged, and he paused before he said in a hurry: "No, the minister!" As he spoke, he took a few steps on his knees, grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve and said, "You can let all the ministers' entourage confront him face to face......

Fang Xuanling is really afraid, Li Chengqian wants to punish him for any crime, but if he is involved in collaborating with the enemy and sentencing the country, it will be stinking for 10,000 years.

At this point, Li Shimin had nothing to say, and immediately ordered Fang Xuanling to be imprisoned, and ordered Li Chengqian to take full authority to deal with the matter of the surrender of the Mobei tribes.

Leave the rest to Li Shiji and Yang Hongli and leave in a hurry.

Maybe he was angry because of Li Chengqian's domineering, maybe he was sad because of Fang Xuanling's betrayal, maybe it was ......

Anyway, Li Shimin fell ill on the second day after he went back, and Li Chengqian had no choice but to go to the main courtyard three times a day to ask for peace while dealing with Mobei's affairs.

This time, Li Shimin did not refuse to see him again, but every time he met and said a few words, Li Chengqian was blown out, and during this period, Li Ke and Li Zhi took turns to serve in front of the bed.

Li Zhi moved directly from the east courtyard to the main courtyard, and never left Li Shimin's side day and night.
