Chapter 16: The Transformation of the Xuanwu Gate (2)

---- in front of the Xuanfu Gate

Xu Zhen's head rolled on the ground, trampled on a bloody blur, but he was not lonely, because there were more bodies by his side. The princess army, although the number is small, but it is one of the most elite armies in the Tang Dynasty, with the addition of three thousand princess army, the people of the king of Qin came one after another, and they were not able to defeat it.

However, Wei Chigong is a * annoyance. He danced among the soldiers with a big axe, and one was ten, and a brave person like Li Yuanji was also intimate. As a last resort, he couldn't catch it alive, Li Yuanji ordered the arrows to be released, and Wei Chi Jingde, who was pierced by a hundred arrows, scolded the prince for being hypocritical. After scolding, even if he was bleeding from all over the holes, he still lifted Da Yue and flew towards Li Yuanji. But human life is fragile after all, and he didn't even throw out a single zhang of his flying horse.

Princess Pingyang reoccupied the Xuanfu Gate, saw the tragic scene inside, and didn't know what Yu Chigong used to quietly knock down this place. Before, Pei Ju was able to enter, and he also entered through Xuanfu Gate.

"Fourth brother, hurry up and take someone to Xuanwumen to see if there is anything wrong with the eldest brother."

"Whoa!" Li Yuanji is very obedient in front of this sister.

At this time, the Xuanwu Gate stood at the gate of the Xuanwu Gate, confronting the hundreds of dead soldiers brought by the King of Qin.

"Shimin, I really didn't expect that our brothers could come to this point......" Li Jiancheng was on the horse, not knowing what to say, looking at his second brother, with a dead soldier like a tiger and a wolf, who was about to slaughter himself.

"Alas, big brother, four years ago, I had a deep brotherly relationship with you. I didn't expect it, you didn't expect it, and I didn't expect it. Li Shimin looked up at the sky and said: "Look at the sky, mother's stars, you tell me that my mother is watching us from the sky." However, all these years, my mother must have been lonely. Why don't you go and accompany him, big brother? ”

"Oh? Do you remember your mother? Li Jiancheng smiled, and his smile was full of sarcasm.

"Big brother, you don't have to say that about me, don't lie to yourself, in your heart, you have long wanted to put your second brother to death. Do you know how attractive the position of emperor is? I admit that you are good to me, and I admit that it is also good for you to be an emperor in the future. Li Shimin said ruthlessly: "Don't talk nonsense, today is either you or I die." If you cooperate, then I will leave you with all the corpses, so that you can go to see the queen mother! ”

Li Jiancheng raised his hand and said: "Slow, I still have one last question, if you can answer me, I will die without regrets." ”

"Tell me about it, huh?"

"How did you buy Xu Qing?"

"Hmph, how can Xu Qing be bought? I had him tied up, how? ”

"Are you so sure?"

"Don't believe me?" Li Shimin laughed and said: "Then the king will give you a chance, you call him three times to see if he can open the door for you, right?" ”

Li Jiancheng arched his hand and said: "Okay, thank you second brother, if there is no one, then it is really destiny that you are not with me." ”

Then, Li Jiancheng shouted: "Xu Qing...... Xu Qing, it's me, the prince...... Xu Qing! ”

At that moment, the iron gate swished upward, and then the gate creaked open almost simultaneously. Li Shimin was startled and hurriedly asked his archers to release their arrows, Li Jiancheng jumped off his horse, and then the horses made a cover. Rushed into the Xuanwu Gate, and bang, the gate closed again.

On the city wall, torches were lit, and Xu Qing appeared on the door.

"Xu Qing, you, how could you ......" Li Shimin looked at Xu Qing on the city wall in disbelief, and Xu Qing glanced back at Li Yuan, and looked at the hard crossbow in Li Yuan's hand, and smiled: "Emperor, Emperor, is this okay, don't have a fault, that crossbow arrow." ”

Li Yuan slightly tilted the head of the crossbow arrow downward and said: "The prince is fine, you persuade King Qin again, if King Qin is dead, I will still shoot you through the hole." By the way, I can't say ...... I'm here."

Xu Qing's soldiers have a problem, although they are very loyal, but because Xu Qing's duke is selfless, they are loyal to the imperial court, Li Yuan, not Xu Qing. So as soon as Li Yuan appeared, he asked the people on the city wall to shoot everyone in the school field. Then, he took a hard crossbow and forced Xu Qing to save Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's lives.

No, as soon as Li Jiancheng entered the Xuanwu Gate, he saw corpses all over the ground. And on the city wall, Xu Qing Xu Qing smiled and said: "King Qin, give up, the destiny of heaven belongs to the prince, you can be your idle king with peace of mind." Don't you think about yourself, not for the inheritance, not for the soldiers who were born and died with you? If you do this, how many heads will fall to the ground. ”

Li Shimin was shaken, and now, he is no longer desperate, but hitting a stone with an egg. Because, with Xu Qing's strength, it was completely impossible for him to attack it. However, if you surrender now, isn't it just a matter of killing you? He asked: "Xu Qing, you and I both know that the current matter has reached the ears of my father, can you forgive me?" ”

Xu Qing had nothing to say, he also opened the price code by himself just now, and he really didn't think that Li Yuan would spare him. But at this time, Li Yuan said behind Xu Qing's back: "Let's just say that as long as he surrenders, today's matter can be said in another way." ”

So Xu Qing shouted: "King Qin, if you lay down your arms, today's incident will be even if your old subordinates who have died rebelled and will be subdued by you and the crown prince." It has nothing to do with you, as for the families of those dead generals, they also claim to be exiled, but in fact they are returning to their hometown and enjoying ordinary life. ”

Xu Qing clearly saw Li Shimin's face full of tears, but at this time, several more troops came in the distance, Xu Qing glanced at it, and there were still many people. The leader of the team is the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin from afar: "King Qin is unshakable, he will lead three thousand dead soldiers here, as long as he breaks through the Xuanwu Gate in one fell swoop, he can force the palace emperor, and tonight King Qin can inherit the unification!" ”

Li Shimin was stunned, but he didn't know what to say, and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't mean to wait for him, and directly said to the people under King Qin: "Everyone, now listen to my orders and start attacking the city!" ”

The ghost is confused, it can only be said that the ghost is confused, the eldest grandson Wuji walked towards the city wall with his soldiers, as if as long as he climbed the city wall, he could become one person and ten thousand people. Xu Qing waved his hand, ready to defend. At this time, Li Jiancheng also knelt in front of Li Yuan, bowed his head and did not speak, while Li Yuan looked at the sky coldly, and the crossbow that threatened Xu Qing in his hand also drooped.

Xu Qing also has 1,500 people in his hands, and there are only 3,000 people outside the door, even if they are dead soldiers with armor, it is difficult to attack the city wall. But no one could have imagined that at this moment, a sudden change occurred! On the city wall of Xu Qing, three teams suddenly turned around, one team killed Xu Qing, and two teams killed Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.

Xu Qing was also scared, if they succeeded, then King Qin would still be the last person to laugh. Could it be that this history really can't be changed? It's okay if Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are dead, but the master is dead, that's not good.

At this moment, Xu Qing also sacrificed his magic weapon to heaven, fire. Guns, in addition, the dark river also moved. Some casually took out a dagger from their sleeves, and they could kill one or two dead soldiers, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were not jealous, they pulled out a sword from their waists that was originally decorative, and entangled with the dead soldiers.

Father and son soldiers.

After a while, the dead soldiers were gone, a false alarm. The dead soldiers under the city are still attacking the city like ants, and they are being killed like ants. Li Shimin stood alone outside the Xuanwu Gate, watching all this, disheartened. Slowly, he raised the sword in his hand.

"Wow!"

"You coward!" A silver gun snatched away the suicide knife in Li Shimin's hand, followed by a slash and fainted. This one with that silver spear is naturally Li Yuanji who came from Xuanfu Gate.

I saw that he tied up Li Shimin well, led the troops to kill the dead soldiers who attacked the city, and captured the eldest grandson Wuji alive. Immediately afterwards, the father and son, plus a fainted Li Shimin, met on the city wall. Xu Qing was very knowledgeable, and left with all his people, leaving the bloody Xuanwu Gate city wall for them. Then, Xu Qing went to clean up the corpse.

In the second half of the night, it finally stopped raining in Chang'an City, and the streets were quiet. No one knew that in the Taiji Palace, something had happened that was enough to shock the government and the opposition. But on Suzaku Street, and where those officials and eunuchs lived, there were countless people awake. They only had to instinctively know that tonight must be an unusual night.

Xu Qing was busy until the early morning, first helped Li Yuan wash the ground, and then went to various places to clean up the remaining rebels, and then, Li Yuan appointed Xu Qing as the general of the family, and sealed the homes of the generals who participated in the rebellion, and all the family members were sent to prison.

Li Yuan did not choose Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng to do this, just to let Xu Qing leave a trace of life.

There are two kinds of posture of the winner, the first is that I am the winner, and for the loser, I toast you with a glass of wine and let you live. This kind of winner, obviously the person who has won more, will have this attitude. However, there is another kind, I win, and I am going to cut down all the people who oppose me. This kind of is just an upstart, it is to raise its eyebrows, and it is to relieve anger and revenge.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are naturally the former, they only hope that this mutiny can be suppressed as quickly as possible. The external claim is similar to what Xu Qing said, this time the King of Qin saved the car meritorious, although he used private soldiers, but he remembered that he was kind-hearted, and he did not investigate his faults, but he wanted to reward his merits. Li Shimin was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and the crown prince received the Shangshu order as the prince, so that he was familiar with government affairs. The princess saved the car and added 300 households. Li Yuanji added 100 households.

And Xu Qing, obviously there is no gift, he has the right to copy the house, what else do you want?

The fattest errand!

Xu Qing made a big deal, and the vacant officials in the DPRK and China were also filled by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan's own forces one after another, just waiting for the final results to be promulgated by the dynasty tomorrow. Li Shimin, except for a good-looking and unpleasant captain, everything else is gone, of course, Li Chengqian and others are not directly affected.

If Li Shimin can really live with peace of mind, glory and wealth are not a problem, and even children and grandchildren will not be difficult to enjoy the treatment of the royal family.
