Chapter 42: Success
After shouting for a long time, no one moved, Li Yuan suddenly realized, he pointed at Wei Chigong and said: "I see, I see, it seems that you are the ones who want to rebel!"
"Your Majesty, you are wrong, it is indeed the crown prince and the king of Qi who rebelled, we are just escorting!" Facing the angry Li Yuan, Wei Chigong said without changing his face.
"You are so bold!" Li Yuan, whose face was flushed, scolded angrily: "You are all wolf ambitions, and you actually want to seize my country, Wei Chigong, you tell me, what is going on with the prince and the king of Qi now?" ”
On the side of Xuanwumen, the war is still going on, there is only one King Yan on the prince's side, obviously inferior to these arrogant soldiers on the side of the King of Qin, fighting, there are many people who surrender on the battlefield, and there are more and more, and after a while, only the prince Qi Wang and Yan Wang are left standing back to back in the battlefield.
Li Shimin broke through the crowd and looked at the three people in front of him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, can you plead guilty?" ”
The prince understood that today's matter had been decided, so he was no longer afraid: "Li Shimin, what is the crime?" But you, my father will definitely know about today's events, and you will definitely see it then! ”
"I don't have to worry about it, His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to see that day!" ”
The prince originally thought that Li Shimin would only imprison him, but after hearing this, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he didn't dare to say anything cruel, but King Qi was quite bold: "Li Shimin, what if you get this thousand miles of country?" If I have any mistake with the prince today, tomorrow you will lose everything you hold dear, and your wife and your children will come down to bury us!" ”
Listening to the words of the King of Qi, Li Shimin was furious, he gritted his teeth and said: "If they make a mistake, I will crush your bones and scatter ashes, and leave no corpses!" ”
"Haha, Li Shimin, you also know that you are scared? Wait, maybe someone will teach your child's head to be delivered in a while, hahaha..."Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, shouted with laughter as if he were crazy.
Li Shimin was about to ask them what they were doing, when suddenly the voice of the herald came from behind him: "Report, King Qin, there were soldiers and horses just now, about 200 people, forcibly rushed out of the city gate and rushed in the direction of Li Jiaji!" ”
Hearing this news, Li Shimin's face suddenly turned pale, then you are the hiding place of his family, although there are 100 elite soldiers there to guard, but these people left by the prince and the king of Qi must be some dead, how to cover up!
"Your Royal Highness, a certain family wishes that the handsome family will go to rescue the princess and them, and please go to the Taiji Palace immediately, don't delay the big thing!" Cheng Yanjin knew that Li Shimin had entrusted his family to Li Siyuan, and at this time, he saw that King Qin was in a dilemma, so he hurriedly took the initiative to come out and ask for help.
Looking at Cheng Yanjin, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Everything will be entrusted to you, they are very important to me, but you are as important to me, you must take care of yourself!" ”
Li Shimin's words brought tears to Cheng Jin's eyes, patted his chest and promised: "Your Highness, rest assured, with my old Cheng here, these thieves don't want to hurt the princess and their half of their cold hair!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned over on his war horse and led the hundred and ten people under his command to rush in the direction of Li Jiaji.
Looking at the direction of Cheng Biting Jin and their departure, Li Shimin prayed silently, hoping that Li Siyuan and them could hold out until the moment when the reinforcements arrived!
Putting aside the worries in his heart for the time being, Li Shimin ordered the three princes to be temporarily confined in the East Palace, and then with a wave of his hand, he led everyone towards the Taiji Palace.
At this time, Li Yuan and Wei Chigong had already learned that everything had been decided on the Xuanwu Gate's side, but the two of them had different complexions, Li Yuan's face was like ashes, but Wei Chigong's face was much more relaxed than just now.
"Your Majesty, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rebelled, and asked Your Majesty to make King Qin the crown prince, so as to calm people's hearts!" Yu Chigong knelt on the ground and said.
"What if I don't?"
Seeing that Li Yuan refused to agree, Wei Chigong stood up, his right hand had already grasped the handle of the knife, and he took a step forward and shouted: "Please Your Majesty make King Qin the crown prince." ”
Li Yuan watched Yu Chigong's movements and didn't speak, so Yu Chigong stepped forward again, half of the blade was already out of the sheath, and at the same time, he still shouted in his mouth: "Please Your Majesty make King Qin the crown prince!" ”
At this time, although Li Yuan had not yet spoken, a cold sweat had begun to break out on his face, and Wei Chigong did not get an answer, so he stepped forward and took another step, this step out, the distance between him and Li Yuan was only one step, and at the same time, the knife in his hand was completely unsheathed, and he held it high in his hand: "Please Your Majesty make King Qin the crown prince and take charge of the government!" ”
Although Li Yuan had also been on the battlefield, in the face of the murderous aura that leaked from Wei Chigong, a general of a hundred battles, he had to choose to give in: "Proposed Purpose!" Li Yuan turned his head to Liu'er and said: "Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rebelled, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, and now he is the crown prince, I was injured by the rebel army, and it is inconvenient to continue to take care of the government affairs, so the prince is in charge of the government during the period when I am recuperating from my injuries!" ”
After the draft was over, Li Yuan looked at Wei Chigong: "Are you satisfied?"
Taking the holy decree from Liu'er's hand, Wei Chigong did not answer Li Yuan's words, but said respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming, the Tang Dynasty will definitely become more and more powerful under the leadership of King Qin!" If Your Majesty doesn't give orders, the minister will go and proclaim the decree! Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, Wei Chigong turned around and was about to leave after he finished speaking.
Li Yuan watched Wei Chigong walk outside, and hurriedly shouted: "Tell King Qin, don't hurt my Jiancheng and Yuanji, if he doesn't listen, I won't forgive him in my life!" ”
Li Yuan shouted sadly, and Wei Chigong could understand his mood in his heart, so he nodded with his back to Li Yuan, and then disappeared in front of Li Yuan without hesitation.
After Wei Chigong left, Li Yuan sat down on the dragon chair, looked at Liu'er quietly and said, "When did you betray me?" ”
Seeing Li Yuan asking, Liu'er hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Liu'er was sent to the palace by King Qin before, don't you remember?" The family of Liu'er has been taken care of by His Royal Highness all these years, so this time His Highness asked me for help, how could Liu'er not help! Your Majesty, according to the old slave, King Qin is the one who should be the most deserving of the crown prince, Your Majesty, don't worry about these anymore, it is important to protect your body! ”
"I see, I see!" The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more sad he felt: "He really deserves to be my good son, what a step to see ten steps!" The prince is not wronged, not wronged, hahaha......"
Seeing Li Yuan's smile, Liu'er was about to slide down when he was sitting on the dragon chair, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the king of Qin are your children, no matter which of them sits on this dragon chair, isn't the surname Li in the world?" You must take care of your dragon's body! ”
Li Yuan turned a deaf ear to this, and shouted loudly: "Li Shimin, you have rebelled against me today, and your children will definitely rebel against you in the future, and the pain you will endure will be a hundred times more than that of me in the future, ten thousand times!" ”
Such a terrible shout frightened all the palace people present, and they all prostrated on the ground, but this voice seemed to have magical power, lingering in the Taiji Palace, and it did not disperse for a long time!
