Chapter 165: Speechless Li Shimin
Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin and the cavalry had come to the front, and the speed had slowed down, so he stopped and waited.
When Li Shimin and the others stood a few feet away, Li Chengqian waved to him and said, "The ministers will see the emperor." β
Li Shimin didn't say anything, looking at Li Chengqian calmly facing his thousands of troops and horses, I really don't know if he is fearless, or really open-minded.
Li Chengqian also paid attention to the people around Li Shi at this time, and saw that the horse heads of Hou Junji and Li Daozong were only half a head behind Li Shimin, and the horses ridden by the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhang Shigui were a little behind.
Li Chengqian secretly said in his heart: What is the situation, such a big formation?
"What is the prince doing here?" Li Shimin hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the eldest grandson Wuji next to him asked first.
Li Chengqian knew that the style of painting was wrong, so he immediately sneered at each other: "Didn't Uncle Eldest Sun think about it behind closed doors at home?"
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that he had torn his face, and said unceremoniously at the moment: "How can you let the old minister think about it behind closed doors at home, the prince is so that the court will be turned upside down, right?"
"Presumptuous, eldest grandson Wuji, are you talking to Dang Chaotai?" Gao Jifu, who followed behind, scolded loudly.
"Prince, he has done these evil things, where is he still worthy of being a prince?
Your Majesty has already told you that he will depose his crown princeship. "The eldest grandson Wuji said without concealment.
"Eldest grandson Wuji, how can you leak the forbidden words?" This time, not only Gao Jifu was unhappy, but even Yang Shidao jumped up, even if he wanted to abolish the prince, he couldn't say it in public here, who knows what Li Chengqian has behind him?
Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard this, looked at Li Shimin and said loudly: "Father, what did the son do wrong, and the father wants to abolish the crown prince of the son of the son?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with complicated eyes, seeing Li Chengqian standing alone at this time, he felt a little unbearable, opened his mouth and didn't say anything after all, turned his head to the side and stopped looking at Li Chengqian.
The hearts of the ministers who supported Li Chengqian behind Li Shimin also sank to the bottom.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is all ready, do you want to test fire?" Xue Rengui shouted loudly from the wooden tower.
Li Chengqian calmed down a little when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Test launch immediately!" β
Li Shimin's side didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to test, and thought that Li Chengqian really wanted to rebel, Hou Junji and Li Daozong hurriedly jumped forward to block Li Shimin behind them.
Li Shimin's eyes showed a cold glow, and he snorted contemptuously and looked at Li Chengqian murderously, he wanted to see how Li Chengqian killed his father when he was alone in the face of his thousands of troops.
Just when everyone's hearts were raising their throats, they only heard a "bang" sound from the side of the tower, and everyone looked up, only to see a large ball thrown from the tower into the distance, and then the ball fell about 300 steps away, and there was a burst of black smoke and fire in the local area, and at the same time, the people who "boomed" with a loud bang almost jumped up.
The war horses ridden by Li Shimin and others were even more panicked and neighing, because dozens of generals close to Li Shimin were very close to each other, and they did not dare to hit Li Shimin and others in front of them immediately.
Li Chengqian kept looking at Li Shimin's side with an expressionless face, and when they barely stabilized their horses, the original formation was already in chaos and had not yet been sorted out.
Li Chengqian bowed to Li Shimin again and asked loudly: "Please also ask my father to make it clear what his sons have done wrong, and my father and the ministers will discuss the abolition of the prince's position?"
Li Shimin was upset and irritable at this time, and when he heard this, he saw Li Chengqian, who was questioning him by the neck, and he was about to step forward to reprimand Li Chengqian, but Li Daozong next to him grabbed the reins of the horse.
Li Shimin looked back angrily, only to hear Li Daozong pleading with him: "Your Majesty, you must not be rash in this matter!" β
Hou Junji also hurriedly stepped forward to stop Li Shimin and said, "Please let Your Majesty calm your anger!" β
Li Shimin was even more angry in his heart, but he didn't step forward and turned his head to the side without looking at Li Chengqian.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian slowly took two steps forward and said: "Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, asked his father to make it clear, what mistakes did his sons make, and the father and the minister discussed to abolish the sons?"
Li Shimin snorted when he heard this, and almost vomited blood, but he just endured it and kept silent.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Gao Shilian rode out from behind, looking at Li Chengqian's eyes with a look of pity.
Li Chengqian looked at him calmly, waiting for him to continue.
Gao Shilian's lips trembled for a long time, and he said sadly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you really want to rebel?"
Li Chengqian was furious when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Shilian and said loudly: "Gao Shilian, don't spray people with blood, when did the Lone King rebel?"
Li Shimin and the ministers were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't say anything when they glanced at the tower over there.
Gao Shilian was unmoved when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden pagoda built by Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no objection, what is that for?"
Li Chengqian snorted coldly when he heard this: "That is the new siege weapon made by the Lone King, and the Lone King experimented with the new weapon to prepare for the war against Goguryeo and Xue Yantuo, when is it going to rebel."
If the Lone King wants to rebel, he only needs to stand this thing on the west wall of the East Palace and throw a few cannons at the Taiji Palace, why do you need to move this thing outside the palace?"
Li Chengqian said and looked at the generals beside Li Shimin as if his eyes were provocative, the generals only saw the power of this cannon just now and did not see the shortcomings of this cannon, and at this time, seeing Li Chengqian's gaze, none of them dared to make eye contact with him.
Li Chengqian smiled slightly when he saw this, and then said with a solemn face: "I also asked my father to make it clear what major crime my son has committed, and my father and the minister will discuss abolishing my son?"
"The prince is not ready to rebel? Then why did you just cast an evil spell and shake the mountains in the Liangyi Palace? The eldest grandson Wuji jumped out again.
"Eldest grandson Wuji, you are rare and strange, and you slander the lonely king, that is Xue Dading is using gunpowder to open the mountain." Li Chengqian said to the eldest grandson Wuji with great contempt.
The eldest grandson Wuji was furious by Li Chengqian's attitude, and was about to say more when he heard Yang Shidao behind him ask, "What kind of mountain to drive?"
When Li Chengqian heard this, he pointed to a flat ground in the distance and said: "Xue Dading led the people to repair the canal, there was originally a small hill there, and they buried explosives underneath, which is the kind of thing you saw exploding just now, and then blew up the small hill, and the lonely king didn't expect that the power of this explosive was so great that even the Liangyi Hall could feel shaking." β
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief when they heard this, but they didn't dare to provoke Li Chengqian at the moment, so they didn't dig deeper.
Li Chengqian looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said coldly again: "The eldest grandson Wuji just thought about it behind closed doors at home for slandering the lonely king a few days ago, waiting for the officials to discuss the crime, why did he run out?" said that without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued: "Why is it not enough for your eldest grandson Wuji to hide in the mansion and stir up the wind and rain, and you still go to your majesty to tell right and wrong?"
When Li Chengqian asked him this, everyone looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why did the prince say that the old minister stirred up the wind and rain?" It's not that the eldest grandson Wuji has a low IQ, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian would send someone to spy on him, in the Tang Dynasty, when he arrived at Wu Zetian, people usually took the initiative to inform, or guessed the above meaning and made up a reason to slander the other party, and few people would send people to spy on political enemies.
Li Chengqian smiled coldly when he heard this: "Still don't admit it? The lonely king asked you, what did you do when you saw Linghu De? What is your son's eldest grandson running to Yu Zhining Mansion in three days?
The Lone King asked for a reduction in the tenant rent in the morning, and at noon Cui Dunli and Yu Zhining went to your house to discuss secretly, and when they came back, more than 1,000 officials jointly signed a petition to oppose it, and the gentry of Chang'an City knelt outside the Chengtian Gate and begged to abolish the Lone King, which one did not make trouble behind your back?"
All the ministers believed Li Chengqian's words, because there was such a big turmoil in Chang'an City, and it was impossible to say that no one targeted Li Chengqian.
It's just that Li Chengqian moved all the interests of the gentry this time, so it is difficult to find out who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, but now that I think about it, Changsun Wuji happens to have this motive and this ability.
Only Li Shimin listened to Li Chengqian's words and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji angrily, you must know that he trusts the eldest grandson Wuji extremely much, even in the matter of the prince, he is obedient to him, and this time he is almost going to meet Li Chengqian.
The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked when he saw this, and when he didn't know how to explain to Li Shimin, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.
The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't believe the prince's provocative words, he must have asked someone to transfer troops." You heard that his rescuers were coming, take down the prince first......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw that the eyes of the people around him had changed, because others had also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked back, there were only more than ten horsemen, and when he got closer, he saw that the people were Zhu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong and others.
Li Chengqian found these civil officials to rebel?
Just when the eldest grandson Wuji was embarrassed, Zhu Suiliang and others had already come to the middle, several people dismounted and first saluted Li Shimin, and then walked in front of Li Chengqian, Zhu Suiliang took out the test papers of the candidates of the Jiade Hall from behind, held them in both hands and said to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the answer papers of the candidates of the Jiade Hall have been read, and the rankings are arranged, please let His Royal Highness the Prince make a decision." β
Li Chengqian waved his hand when he heard this: "Please make a decision to your Majesty, Your Majesty will issue an order to abolish the Lone King......
"What?" Zhu Suiliang and the others were shocked when they heard this, and after a while, Zhu Suiliang turned around and saluted Li Shimin, and said in a sonorous voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and wise, benevolent, filial piety and virtuous, why did Your Majesty come up with the idea of abolishing the establishment?"
Li Shimin was very embarrassed when he heard this, and he wanted to say anything but couldn't say a word.
