Chapter 964: The Prince's Rebellion (I)

The army detains thunderbolts? Li Shimin only felt a bang in his head, and he was completely dizzy.

He had always thought that there was a problem with the warehouse where the Thunderbolt was stored, but he hadn't thought about it in any way with the army. But if the army has caught the thunderbolt, what can an army with the thunderbolt do? I can't imagine it!

Li Shimin was really scared, even if he was in the heavily defended palace, he still felt like a man's back and couldn't sit still.

Li Shimin walked around anxiously with his hands in his hands, and suddenly asked, "Chen Fei, do you have any evidence?" ”

Chen Fei shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister has no evidence, these are the minister's speculations, if the minister is wrong, please ask Your Majesty to atone for his sins." ”

Li Shimin glared at Chen Fei and said angrily: "Stinky boy, I didn't say that I would punish you, why are you always worried?" ”

After scolding Chen Fei, Li Shimin said to Wanfu: "Let all the generals above the fourth rank in Chang'an go to the Liangyi Palace, I have something important to discuss!" ”

Wanfu hurriedly left, Chen Fei's eyes lit up on the spot, if he could persuade Li Shimin to let him detain Hou Junji at this time, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of the prince's arms, and the risk of the prince's rebellion would be greatly reduced!

Thinking of doing it, he cleared his throat lightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are only so many generals who have gone out to lead troops and fought during this time. Investigate clearly, and then let go? “

Li Shimin was quite moved when he heard this, and he was also afraid that some generals had bad intentions, and it was in line with his mind to detain these generals.

It's just that...... These generals are all powerful figures in the army, will it cause them to misunderstand if they look at them like this? If one of them really wants to rebel, what if he is provoked to rebel directly?

Chen Fei saw Li Shimin's worries, he tried to persuade Li Shimin to make up his mind, otherwise the opportunity must not be lost, and he silently said sorry to Cheng Yanjin in his heart, he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, temporarily wronged the generals, if they have no ghosts in their hearts, I am afraid they will not be dissatisfied, and please ask Your Majesty to give an order to temporarily cut off these generals from the outside world, and at the same time pay close attention to the dynamics of soldiers and horses near Chang'an City!" ”

Li Shimin hesitated slightly, and then nodded fiercely: "Okay!" Just do what you say! ”

On the same day, Li Shimin secretly summoned Li Jing and asked him to temporarily take over the garrison of Chang'an City and the imperial palace, and mobilize troops to defend it tightly.

At the same time, all the officials above the fourth rank in the court were invited to the Liangyi Palace. There is only one exception - Hou Junji!

He already knew that the prince had used thunderbolts to assassinate Li Tai. The crown prince hadn't told him about it before, so now he was more furious than shocked!

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are too inconsiderate! The minister risked his life to detain a box of thunderbolts, which was intended to be used until the last moment, and if you take it out to deal with King Wei now, wouldn't it be tantamount to exposing us in advance? Sooner or later, Your Majesty will suspect you and me! Now His Majesty summoned me to the palace, I'm afraid it's because of this! And I suspect that His Majesty has already speculated on me! ”

Li Chengqian calmly took a sip of wine, and said unhurriedly: "General, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry, we will have to take this step sooner or later, right?" ”

"That's not right now! Early exposure doesn't do us any good! ”

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said calmly: "General, this is a bad word. Lone originally wanted to blame Chen Fei for the thunderbolt fire, but after thinking about it, his father would probably not be fooled stupidly, so... Just kill Li Tai and directly launch a mutiny! ”

Hou Junji's eyelids jumped suddenly, he suddenly found that he was talking to a madman, and he had no reason at all.

"Your Highness, now that we have been exposed, as soon as the thunderbolt fires come out, Your Majesty will inevitably arouse alarm, and we have lost the opportunity! Back ......"

"Don't worry, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for." Li Chengqian interrupted Hou Junji's words and smiled faintly.

Hou Junji was puzzled, and Li Chengqian smiled and said: "General, now that my father has summoned all the officials above the fourth rank in the court to the palace, don't you think this is our opportunity?" ”

Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian in shock and said in surprise: "Your Highness, what do you mean?" ”

"It's better to hit the day than to hit the day, I'm ready, General, what about you?"

Thinking that he had no way out, Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "In this way, I am also the opposite!" Your Highness is waiting, and I will go and gather the soldiers and horses! ”

Hou Junji drank a glass of wine, slapped the table and got up to go out.

Li Chengqian shouted from behind: "General, Zhao Jie led the troops to fight the vanguard, you take advantage of the chaos to call the army, meet Zhao Jie outside the Xuanwu Gate, and enter the palace from the Xuanwu Gate!" ”

Hou Junji waved his hand with his back to Li Chengqian and strode away.

Li Chengqian sat down in his position and drank a glass of wine violently, because he was excited, his fingers tightly clasped the wine glass and did not let go.

Sixteen years ago, his father launched a mutiny, fought all the way from Xuanwumen to the palace, successfully ascended the throne, and ruled the world. He watched every scene at that time. So what now? Can he also follow his father's example, lead the army from Xuanwumen all the way to the palace, force his father to abdicate, and successfully sit on the coveted throne?

"The Throne...... It has to be mine! No one can compete with me for the throne! Li Chengqian's face was extremely hideous......

When the military generals were summoned by Li Shimin and gathered in the palace, Zhao Jie, a subordinate official of the crown prince, led more than 100 princes to rush to an army garrison in Chang'an City with a knife.

The soldiers in the garrison did not know what was happening, and suddenly they were gathered together by the generals, and they only heard the generals say to follow them, so they took their weapons and followed the generals to kill.

They didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, and rushed all the way through Chang'an Avenue to the palace.

The yamen on the road saw this group of murderous soldiers, and didn't ask much, because there were many troops in Chang'an City today, although the number of soldiers in this group was a bit large, but no one was surprised. The rebel team rushed all the way to the front of the Xuanwu Gate with a swagger!

"Stop! Who are you? "The guards of the Xuanwu Gate discovered the abnormality for the first time, they didn't receive the dispatch order at all, such a large wave of soldiers rushed over, the number was thousands, it was too abnormal!

"The man who killed you!" Zhao Jie's face turned cold, and he rushed to the front of the general on duty, and slashed down with a knife.

The general on duty was not slow to react, and immediately drew his sword to block the oncoming sword, and at the same time shouted to the back: "Someone rebelled!" Close the Xuanwu Gate! Defend the palace gate and go for backup! Fast! ”

"It's too late!" Zhao Jie couldn't strike a blow, so instead of laughing, he took a few steps back and glanced at the soldiers behind.

The subordinates who followed Zhao Jie out took out a thunderbolt fire from the cloth bag, lit it under the frightened eyes of the guards on duty, and then ...... Thrown!
