"What?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin stood up and looked at the messenger with wide eyes.

Everyone in the whole courtyard was speechless in shock, and there was only one thought in their hearts: 'There has been a mutiny.' ’

But why the mutiny?

In the end, Li Shimin's gaze swept coldly over the ministers in the courtyard, and finally turned his gaze to Li Chengqian, but saw that Li Chengqian's old god was standing there, as if he had not heard tens of thousands of soldiers gathered at the gate of the city.

"Prince." Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian with murderous eyes.

"Father!" Li Chengqian no longer showed his teeth and claws like just now, but he still acted like he was nothing.

But the more he was like this, the more angry Li Shimin became.

"Rebel!" Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian and roared loudly.

Then, without waiting for Li Chengqian to answer, "all ...... all," he rushed all the way down the high platform, walked in front of Li Chengqian, grabbed Li Chengqian's collar, clenched his fist with the other hand, and couldn't get off his hands because he was shaking all over.

"What exactly do you want? I want the throne to be given to you now! ”

Li Shimin thought that Li Chengqian had rebelled, but he was really angry, Li Tai and Li You had already rebelled and died, and now Li Chengqian also came to rebel?

The problem is that he doesn't have any easy storage intentions at all now, so what are you rebelling against?

Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin was trembling with anger, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

If you are angry, you will beat your son a few times, don't be angry. ”

When everyone heard that Li Chengqian was still so shameless and refused to admit it at this time, they were powerless to complain in their hearts.

But some people saw that there was room for manoeuvre, Li Shiji hurriedly looked back, and saw Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi, Pei Xingjian and others all here.

Hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is angry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the generals of the East Palace are here!" ”

Li Shimin raised his head and glanced around when he heard this, and saw that all the generals of the East Palace were indeed here, and then thought that Li Chengqian had brought Li Zhi to ask for peace early in the morning, and it really didn't look like he was involved in this matter.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's anger subsided for a while, and he slowly lowered his fist, but he still grabbed Li Chengqian and didn't let go, and forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "You tell me the truth, did you instigate those soldiers outside the city?"

Li Chengqian was directly laughed at when he heard this, even if he is a thief, his father can't put any on his son's head?

What's more, I'm still the crown prince!

"Laughing at what? Say! Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian just sneered, and became angry again.

Li Chengqian was also furious when he saw this, and he slammed his crutches and took a step back to break free from Li Shimin's grasp.

Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted angrily and was about to arrest Li Chengqian again.

Li Chengqian saw it and said: "I don't know who instigated the gathering of soldiers outside the city, but I know that I brought the generals of the East Palace to destroy the Xue Yantuo Khan's tent. ”

These two things seem to be next to each other, but everyone present can hear that Li Chengqian is satirizing Li Shimin's unfairness. You didn't mention my great merit in destroying Xue Yantuo when you talked about the reward for meritorious deeds, and now whenever a soldier makes trouble, you will trap me.

Li Shimin also felt that he was at a loss when he heard this, but the more he did so, the more angry he became.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who looked aggrieved, his eyes were on fire, and he was about to step forward again.

"Your Majesty, it's important to appease the soldiers outside the city first." Li Shiji hurriedly stepped forward again.

"Yes, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do with this matter, Your Majesty still has to find a way to appease the soldiers outside the city as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling also walked out and said.

Li Shimin confirmed that it was not Li Chengqian who wanted to rebel and immediately resurrected with full blood, slowly walked to the high platform and turned around, looking down at the ministers below with an indifferent expression.

Seeing this, all the ministers felt cold in their hearts and did not dare to move, for fear that Li Shimin would regard them as the masterminds behind this matter.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers quietly for a long time before he slowly spoke, and said in a voice without a trace of emotion: "Li Shiji, the secretary of the military department, took the generals to the city gate to appease the soldiers and quickly return to the camp. ”

"Obey."

When Li Shiji heard this, he hurriedly saluted and received the order, and then immediately turned around and walked out without any delay, and the generals standing on the periphery also followed tacitly.

Watching Li Shiji walk out, Li Shimin was no longer in the mood to sit on the high platform and accept the congratulations of various ministries.

Flicked his sleeves and walked down the high platform from the side, and went directly back to the back of the conference hall.

Li Chengqian saw that he hurriedly led Li Ke and Li Zhi to follow, Fang Xuanling glanced at them and turned back to the ministers present and said: "The officials above the fourth grade and the people of the middle school are waiting at the door of the hall, and the other ministers are waiting here for the time being. ”

No one dared to leave after such a big incident.

Although Li Chengqian had just had a big quarrel with Li Shimin, it was impossible for the crown prince to wait outside the door, so he walked directly into the hall with Li Ke and Li Zhi.

Li Shimin saw them walk in, but he didn't see them, and sat on his throne sulking.

Li Chengqian didn't see outside, he found a place to sit down and was silent.

After a while, Fang Xuanling hurriedly walked in, saluted Li Shimin, and stood silently beside him.

Li Zhi, who was pressed by the deathly silence in the hall, couldn't breathe, so he walked up to Li Shimin and said: "Father don't worry, I think those soldiers heard that their father was rewarded for meritorious deeds here and wanted to see the face of the sky, and there was no main general in the camp to let them out of the barracks." Now Li Bingbu is leading the battalion commanders to go back, and they are naturally suppressed. ”

Li Shimin's face improved slightly when he heard this, and then he couldn't bear to look at Li Zhi, who had grown up by his side since he was a child. Stretched out his hand to pull Li Zhi to his side, stroked his shoulders, looked at him lovingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, there is a father and emperor!" ”

Fang Xuanling didn't know what the purpose was, and he also said: "The minister thinks that what His Royal Highness the King of Jin said is correct, the British Duke and the generals are all old people in the army, and it won't take long to appease the soldiers to return to the camp." ”

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this, ignoring them.

But Li Shimin saw his expression, and snorted angrily: "Do you have any lofty opinions that you can say, and let me hear them?"

Li Shimin regretted it as soon as he said this, after all, he was facing his son's loss of father's dignity by speaking like this.

But when he saw Li Chengqian's expression, he blurted out.

Li Chengqian didn't care about these at this time, he also regretted that he shouldn't show it, what if Li Shimin saw through it?

"Erchen thinks that Pheasant Nu and Liang Guogong have taken it for granted, so many soldiers gathered at the gate of the city to see their father, obviously there is something to ask, how can they be easily appeased." Li Chengqian felt that he was hiding it well.

Li Shimin snorted angrily when he heard this, indicating that he did not believe it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows what these soldiers want?" Fang Xuanling asked sincerely.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin immediately turned his head to look at Li Chengqian.

"How does King Gu know, maybe it's because of the unfairness of the merit presided over by Liang Guogong, so the soldiers are dissatisfied and want to see their father and the emperor to complain." Li Chengqian sneered at each other, and he was also afraid in his heart.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Since Fang Xuanling failed to dig a pit for Li Chengqian, no one in the hall spoke anymore, and everyone waited in silence.

Every two quarters of an hour people would come to report the news from the city gates.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers gathered at the gate of the city did not bring weapons, but only claimed that there was a traitor in the court, and they wanted to report to Your Majesty in person."

"Your Majesty, the British Duke and the generals have been persuaded for half an hour, and the soldiers gathered at the city gate sit on the ground, and they refuse to leave if they don't see Your Majesty."

……

……

After two hours in a row, the message was sent back over and over again, just a few words.

Li Shimin became more and more anxious, and finally scolded Li Shiji and the generals he had just rewarded today for being incompetent.

Seeing Li Shimin anxiously walking around the hall, Fang Xuanling quietly walked up and whispered in Li Shimin's ear: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most popular with the military, why don't you order His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go on His Majesty's behalf to appease the soldiers." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he glanced at Li Chengqian, who was sitting there pretending to be dead, and categorically vetoed: "No! I'm going to go and see what the soldiers have to say to me now. ”

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he strode outside.
