When Xue Wanche and Feng Li arrived at the Xuanwu Gate with two thousand elites, Zhang Gongjin happened to close the city gate. www.biquge.info In this way, Xue Wanche and others can only surround the Xuanwu Gate.

Seeing that these people had been around for a long time and did not retreat, Li Shimin was anxious, and immediately put Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji at the head and threw their heads down the city gate, intending to dissipate the morale of the army, so that these people could retreat without a fight.

However, Li Shimin miscalculated. For a long time, he underestimated Li Jiancheng's personality charm, and at this time, it was naturally not a big loss. The thousands of people under the city gate, when they saw Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's heads, not only did they not lose their morale, but shouted that they wanted to avenge Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Just now, they were just besieging but not attacking, and now these people desperately began to attack the city gate. For a while, Li Shimin's side suffered heavy losses despite occupying the benefits of the city gate.

Seeing that the Xuanwu Gate could not be attacked for a long time at this time, Xue Wanche and Feng Li shouted that they were going to attack the Qin Wangfu after killing the Yunlu general Jing Junhong. This time it made Li Shimin anxious. Although the Qin Wangfu is guarded by Duan Zhixuan and basically all the Qin Wangfu guards, but looking at it now, it is obvious that those people can't resist it at all.

Li Shimin couldn't help but open the city gate and fight with Xue Wanche and the others.

At this time, Wei Chigong arrived with Li Yuan's holy decree. It's easy to do now, organize the Qianniuwei in the palace, Li Shimin can be regarded as having some confidence in his hands, and immediately opened the Xuanwu Gate, ready to fight with Xue Wanche.

The gate was also opened, and Xue Wanche was retained. Originally, Xue Wanche saw that although Li Shimin had many generals under him, his troops were insufficient, and he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge Li Jiancheng, who knew that at this time, Li Shimin would gather Qianniuwei. No, the handover began.

However, in less than half a moment, the situation has changed a lot.

Gao Shilian finally got rid of the death row prisoners in the prison in Chang'an City at this time. At this time, they just rushed over, although these people who pulled up did not have formal military training, and there was no formation at all at this time, but from a distance, the black pressure was overwhelming, and there were definitely a lot of people.

At this time, Xue Wanche and Feng Li saw that the general trend had gone, so they could only decide to escape.

said to the soldiers who were still fighting hard: "If I kill Jing Junhong, I can repay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a little, everyone, let's disperse." "At that moment, he took his guards out of the encirclement and fled in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain. Li Shimin sent out a team of men, but he couldn't catch up, so he had to give up.

Seeing that the main general had broken through, the remaining soldiers were also disheartened and unable to resist, so they could only surrender. Seeing that there was no longer the strength to resist on the field, Li Shimin asked these soldiers to be put into custody.

With the holy decree in hand, it is very convenient for Li Shimin to mobilize troops and horses. The soldiers and horses in the capital at this time are not suitable for all of them to be dispatched, and the more this time, the more they must be pacified. Therefore, Li Shimin ordered that no one should move troops without permission unless he received his hand.

After settling down, Li Shimin had to deal with the affairs of the East Palace and the Qi Palace.

The manpower under his hands was already enough to deal with it, and the soldiers only waited for Li Shimin's order to start acting.

This order is definitely not easy to do, because it involves the wives and children of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Gritting his teeth, Li Shimin didn't have a trace of mercy at this time, just now when Xue Wanche and those people shouted to attack the Qin Palace, he had already seen it, it was better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

At the moment, he ordered: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

Those generals don't care whether Li Shimin's decision is good or not, anyway, they have killed people all these years, how can they care about these benevolent and moral people, as long as it is Li Shimin's order, just obey it. Kill a few people soon, even if these are the princes who Li Yuan personally sealed, and he didn't slaughter the prince just now, what is it to kill a few princes at this time.

However, at this time, Luo Yan didn't care how murderous Li Shimin was, regardless of the surprised eyes of others, he stood up and said: "If Your Highness wants to be a tyrant, the minister will not stop it, but in the future, because of this, the world will be disrespectful, the people's resentment will boil, and the rebellion will rise, so don't blame the minister for being unpredictable." ”

Originally, these civil and military generals thought that Luo Yan had come out to discuss with Li Shimin for the opportunity to raid his family and exterminate the clan, but at this time, he actually ignored Li Shimin's mood and forcibly prevented him from killing all the children of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

These people secretly said in their hearts: This product is really stupid and bold, compared to this product, Wei Chigong is simply a dish. What do you think, Li Shimin is angry at this moment, Luo Yan jumped out like this, and he didn't make his status in Li Shimin's heart plummet.

Luo Yan didn't care what these people thought, and then said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the villain." If we were out of righteousness, we would be understandable, but now our name is not right. Although the general trend has been decided, the prince's subordinates abound all over the world, that is, those who were like Xue Wanche just now, seeing the death of the prince, still want to attack the Xuanwu Gate, this kind of loyalty is unique to Xue Wanche. If His Highness wants to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, I am afraid that it will really lead to war. ”

"right, and then know the weight; amount, and then the short length. If Your Highness is like a reckless and willful person, how can it be done by a king? ”

After speaking, Luo Yan stared at Li Shimin like this.

At this time, although Li Shimin was annoyed for a while, he still pressed the killing intent in his heart and began to think carefully about what Luo Yan said. Li Shimin knows who Luo Yan is, except for the time when he was co-opted by Li Jiancheng, he didn't have anything to do with Li Jiancheng at all. And at that time, Luo Yan not only refused, but also told himself. Later, listening to the secret report from the eyeliner around the prince, Luo Yan also said, "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers." Therefore, Luo Yan definitely did not intercede for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family because of personal feelings.

Since Luo Yan has no personal feelings, Li Shimin can only think about what Luo Yan said.

Under this thought, Li Shimin was also shocked by his killing intent. Although cutting the grass and eradicating the roots will leave no trouble, one of the problems facing now is that the remnants of Li Jiancheng are not soft eggs. If you really provoke the ferocity of those people, even if you sit on the throne, the country will be shaken.

Moreover, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji's mansion, didn't know that there were still many good generals and a large number of soldiers and horses in the East Palace, and if he chose to attack, the loss would definitely not be small.

After calming down, looking at the many people who were still waiting for his order, Li Shimin made a decision: "Surround the East Palace and the Qi Palace, no one is allowed to enter or exit, wait for my order." Remember, until then, be kind to everyone in both places. Especially you, Jingde, don't follow this matter, it will be led by the two gentlemen Fang Du, one for each person. Other Wenchen, follow me to the Inner Palace. ”

Li Shimin asked Li Yuan to hand over his rights, and just now Wei Chi Jingde just wanted the right to command the soldiers and horses in the capital. However, this is far from enough, as I said before, the name is not right, as long as Li Yuan does not hand over all the rights to himself, Li Shimin will not be at ease for a day.

Walking into the inner palace, at this time, Li Yuan had already returned to the dormitory from Haichi. The fact that several of his sons killed each other was too big a blow to Li Yuan. Even if there were old ministers like Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda around him who kept comforting him, Li Yuan was only fighting his spirit, and he couldn't say anything at all.

Seeing Li Shimin come in at this moment, Li Yuan was also trembling, and his old tears were all over his body.

As a qualified actor, Li Shimin also accompanied Li Yuan at this time and began to cry. After waiting for a while, the others began to persuade him to stop crying and look at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan is not a fool, although he is really confused about his son's affairs, so that he caused today's tragedy, but as an emperor who can establish a stable Tang Dynasty from the troubled times, his IQ is definitely not low. Li Shimin came in at this time, and there were many staff and generals from the Qin Palace, so Li Yuan naturally knew what Li Shimin wanted to do.

Immediately put away his tears and asked, "Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family, what are you going to do?" "So far, Li Yuan doesn't want Li Shimin to be soft-hearted, he just wants to keep a trace of blood for the two of them.

After listening to Luo Yan's advice, and after calming down and thinking a lot along the way, Li Shimin pretended to be very generous at this time and said: "The first evil has been punished. The others, adjacent to the inner palace, built a new palace and let them spend the rest of their lives there. ”

Seeing that Li Shimin did not use extreme means to deal with the families of the two, Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin with some surprise. Seeing Li Shimin's affirmation, he relieved himself.

Since the bloodline of the two sons continues, then the next thing is naturally easy to discuss, after a long sigh, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin: "From tomorrow onwards, you will be in charge of the country as the crown prince." The edict will be issued tomorrow morning. Remember your promises. ”

Li Yuan didn't think about anything else at this time except that he was worried that Li Shimin would regret it. Anyway, even if he doesn't agree, looking at this posture, his son will forcibly seize power. Rather than putting his life in danger, it is better to follow Li Shimin's overtures and decide this matter like this.

Li Shimin immediately assured again: "The matter between the crown prince and the king of Qi has nothing to do with his wife and children, so naturally I will not do such an inhumane thing." ”

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then called Pei Lin over and ordered, "You go to the East Palace and let those subordinates surrender." Too much resistance is also creating unprovoked killings, and by now, there is no point in it. Pei Lin nodded yes.

Li Yuan waved his hand at this time, signaling that he was tired and let everyone out.
