Chapter 399: Forcing the Palace
Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.
Li Shimin was very angry when he heard that Du Hebing was besieging the palace. He smashed everything on the table and everything he could, and sat down in his chair panting. With trembling fingers, he pulled open the drawer of the table and swallowed the last two pills.
He shouted: "Ma Xuanliang, why didn't Sun Simiao come?" ”
Ma Xuanliang was a little sad when he saw Li Shimin's situation, and said in his heart: "The emperor is a little confused, the palace is surrounded, how can Sun Simiao come in, the wise and martial emperor, he can't even figure this out." ”
He stepped forward and said, the minister has already sent someone to invite the old immortal, it's too chaotic outside, I'm afraid he won't be able to come. ”
Li Shimin glared at him and didn't say anything.
Li Shimin's current situation is just as Ma Xuanliang saw. He is now a drug addict, an addict who has been greatly affected by drugs, both physically and mentally. ”
He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, waiting for the pill to kick in.
Ma Xuanliang deeply loved Li Shimin, and when he saw Li Shimin like this, he silently shed tears.
He now knows that the reason why Li Shimin became like this is because he was harmed by the pills of Li Tai, Ding Shenming and Yuan Tiangang.
Ding Shenming and Yuan Tiangang are dead, and the anger in his heart now is also concentrated on Li Tai.
After a long time, Li Shimin regained his spirits, and he asked, "Is Gongsun Wuda's armed police force here?" ”
Ma Xuanliang shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”
He knew in his heart that the armed police force could not be counted on. Because he had already received a report that the troops of the army surrounding the palace outside, in addition to the Flying Tiger Army, also saw the figure of the troops of the Military Academy Training Support Regiment.
Ma Xuanliang knew that the general trend was gone, and he didn't even tell Li Shimin about this, so as not to be stimulated.
Two o'clock in the afternoon, the Royal Palace.
Outside the gate of the palace, thousands of court officials gathered in the square, and they stood there silently, waiting for the appearance of Emperor Li Shimin.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the palace guards on the palace wall were the children of court officials, and when they saw their father or grandfather standing outside, they had already put down the bows and arrows in their hands.
Officials outside also saw their own children and grandchildren on the palace wall, and everyone hoped that it could be resolved peacefully and avoid the cannibalism of their relatives.
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Shimin still did not show up.
At this time, Wei Zheng had already returned from Jingzhao Mansion, and he stood at the front of the queue of ministers, waiting silently with them.
At this time, Li Shimin had already recovered his spirits. Ma Xuanliang reported the situation outside to him.
Li Shimin glared and asked, "What are they going to do?" ”
Cen Wenwen and Ma Xuanliang did not dare to say anything.
Li Shimin pointed at Ma Xuanliang and said, "You say, what are they going to do?" ”
Ma Xuanliang pondered for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment, the minister will ask now." ”
Ma Xuanliang came to the door and called a little eunuch who delivered the news into the study, and he said to the little eunuch: "You go and tell the emperor what the ministers said." ”
The little eunuch came from the gate of the palace, and he said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have asked to hand over Li Tai, the king of Wei. ”
Li Shimin was furious, stood up, flew up, and kicked the little eunuch down. said: "These damn guys, dare to persecute me like this, they all deserve to be killed." ”
When Ma Xuanliang saw the fate of the little eunuch, he secretly congratulated himself in his heart for being smart!
Li Shimin now knows that Li Tai is the source of the catastrophe, and as long as he hands over Li Tai, he will be able to quell this turmoil.
However, he could not tolerate it, and the ministers forced themselves in this way.
Since Li Shimin became emperor, he has spoken the same thing in the Tang Dynasty and has supreme authority. After his conquest of Goguryeo, this authority had reached its zenith. He is full of ambition, preparing Mount Tai to seal Zen and show his prestige as an emperor through the ages!
He never dreamed that in a short period of time, his prestige would plummet, to the point where this kind of thousand people were pointing in front of him!
All of this started with him shielding Li Tai.
He wanted to back down, but he felt that he could no longer back down, believing that if he agreed to the ministers' request to hand over his own son, then his authority would cease to exist.
He was determined to fight to the end.
Actually, that's not the case. If he is still the wise and martial Li Shimin in the past, and he has made mistakes, as long as he has the courage to admit his mistakes and correct his mistakes, he will still be able to win the love of the ministers.
It's a pity that he is now nothing more than a drug addict, an addict, and a dictator with imperial power above all else.
In Li Shimin's mind, he is still in the minds of the ministers and has a supreme position, so he doesn't believe that the ministers dare to do anything to him. ”
Outside the palace gates.
Li Su is standing behind the ministers now, he did not stand in front of the ministers, because he was saving face for Li Shimin, and he didn't want to see the father and son directly clash.
His heart was also full of anxiety, and he hoped that Li Shimin would be able to hand over Li Tai and quickly calm down the incident.
He was very worried that Li Shimin would resist to the end, how would it end up next? He really hadn't thought it through.
What if Li Shimin refuses to hand over Li Tai? Do you want to send troops into the palace to arrest Li Tai?
Li Su felt a splitting headache and couldn't help but reach out and knead his head.
In the study.
Seeing the silent Li Shimin, Cen Wenwen said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion, please go to the palace wall and talk to the ministers, with your prestige, you should be able to solve this problem." ”
Li Shimin thought for a while, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go out and meet them and see what they want?" ”
When he walked to the door, he turned his head and said to Ma Xuanliang: "You send someone to the East Palace to bring Li Su's evil princess to the palace wall." He dared to threaten me, and I showed him what it was like to be threatened. ”
Hearing this, Cen Wenwen and Ma Xuanliang glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but shake their heads, extremely disappointed in their hearts.
Ma Xuanliang said: "Your Majesty, isn't this very good? ”
Li Shimin glared and said, "Ma Xuanliang, do you also have to disobey the holy decree?" ”
Ma Xuanliang reluctantly arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Li Shimin walked out, Cen Wenwen followed, in the corridor, he saw a little eunuch standing next to him, taking advantage of Li Shimin's unpreparedness, whispered a few words in his ear, the little eunuch, nodded, and walked in the direction of the Lizheng Palace.
Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Li Shimin, who happened to turn around, and he shouted: "You stop!" ”
The little eunuch hurriedly stood up and came to Li Shimin's side.
Li Shimin said: "What did he tell you just now? "Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
