Chapter 54: Helpless Li Yuan
In the end, he is an emperor, and his mind and thinking are different from ordinary people.
In an instant, Li Yuan had roughly understood the ins and outs, and it was obvious who was causing the trouble.
Does it matter?
What can we do?
The eldest son and the fourth son are dead, and the second son must have been arranged for success.
Wei Chigong wore armor and saw a sharp driver, indicating that the palace ban was no longer safe.
At this time, if you insist on going your own way and ask Li Shimin to blame, what will be the result of the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry?
It is entirely possible for Wei Chigong to do it to himself, and finally put the charge of killing the monarch and killing his father on the dead Jiancheng and Yuanji, and it is logical for Li Shimin to ascend the throne in the name of quelling the rebellion and Kuang Fu Sheji.
Li Yuan spared his life, so he didn't dare to take risks.
In addition, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he must think about the future of the Tang Dynasty.
The eldest son and the fourth son have gone, and the other sons are still young and their abilities are limited.
He must accept a cruel fact, at the moment, only his second son Li Shiming can take over the country.
I have to admit that the second child is outstanding, even better than the eldest son.
Li Yuan didn't think about it, but with the orderly etiquette system of the eldest son, the eldest son's performance was not bad, so he had to give up!
But in such a situation, is there a choice?
Despite the grief and anger in his heart, he had to hold on and deal with it with great difficulty.
Asking the prime minister is just a routine move, just find a step down.
I don't know if he was shocked or entangled in his heart, Pei Lin was speechless for a while.
Xiao Yu said calmly: "The sage raised troops in Jinyang to resist the brutal former Sui, the prince and the king of Qi had no strategy to respond, and the other had no great military achievements, but they were jealous of the hard work and prestige of the King of Qin.
The two of them actually planned a treacherous conspiracy together, intending to rebel and endanger the saint and His Royal Highness King Qin, which is an unforgivable crime. ”
Xiao Yu had already had a close relationship with the Qin Palace, and when he heard the news at this moment, it was clear that he was supporting Li Shimin.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stepped into the mud with one kick, and became useless, and they were definitely jealous and jealous, and conspired to usurp the big hat.
The expected reaction, Li Yuan just listened silently and nodded slightly.
Chen Shuda continued: "Sage, the prince and the king of Qi are in trouble, but fortunately, they were discovered by the king of Qin in time and denounced and killed.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin has made outstanding contributions, and the world has returned to the heart, for the sake of today's plan, if the sage takes the King of Qin as the prince and entrusts the government and society with major affairs, there should be no more incidents, and the country and the people will be safe. ”
Li Yuan glanced sideways slightly, it was no secret that Xiao Yu had always favored King Qin, but Chen Shuda, who had always been fair and respectful, was also ......
Is he an old man?
Or do you see that the situation is not good and fall with the wind?
Or he has long been Li Shimin's man.
Otherwise, he would not have launched Sun Fujia in the matter of Chen Yu and opposed Zheng Shanguo recommended by the East Palace.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan's only remaining extravagant hope was gone.
The palace ban was charged, and the prime minister was on the side of the second son, and he had no authority as the emperor, so naturally he had no other choice.
Li Yuan sighed secretly: "Good, this is also my wish." ”
"Sage, the East Palace and the rebels of Qi Mansion are still in turmoil, I implore the sage to issue an edict, and the King of Qin will restrain the soldiers and horses of Chang'an, rectify the chaos, and calm Sheji."
Seeing that Li Yuan had loosened up, Wei Chigong immediately asked for an order.
"As it should be."
Li Yuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Later, Sima Yu, a scribe from the Tiance Mansion who rushed to the palace, immediately drafted the holy decree, and Li Yuan ordered Fu Baolang to use the seal without even looking at it.
Seeing that Yu Wenshi and left with the holy decree, Pei Lian, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was a little panicked.
Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda have all clearly expressed their support for King Qin, but they didn't say anything, and King Qin will inevitably be suspicious of himself afterwards, and even hold a grudge.
Offended the future prince, no... Emperor, how's it going?
Pei Lin hurriedly said: "Sage, it is inevitable that there will be some ignorant generals in the East Palace and Qi Mansion, I am afraid that it will be difficult to comprehend the holy will for a while, and I will resist stubbornly. ”
"Okay!"
Li Yuan did not stop him, and in an instant, the prime ministers showed favor to the second son, and he, the emperor who was high above, suddenly seemed to have become an empty shelf.
Status, authority, and even the throne, I'm afraid I can't keep it, all this partiality was still taken away by his son with violence, Li Yuan really didn't feel good in his heart.
Wei Chigong also acquiesced to Pei Lian's approach, at this time, calming people's hearts and restoring order is the key, and the prime minister's appearance is undoubtedly better.
……
However, it was said that the East Palace and the Qi Palace's soldiers and horses hurriedly attacked the Qin Palace.
A few soldiers and horses arrived at the forward, but the main force led by Xue Wanche, Feng Li and others was intercepted at Fanglin Gate.
They never expected that more than a thousand prisoners would pour out here.
All of them were ragged, but they were all serious outlaws, and after being released and promised by Gao Shilian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, they all came to play with their lives with swords.
They don't know what happened, they only know that as long as they fight today, all their sins can be written off without blame.
For most of the prisoners who cannot escape the capital crime, it is undoubtedly a great attraction, and it is better to fight for death.
As a result, blood flowed in front of Hong Lim.
There were many casualties among the prisoners, and in the end, they really couldn't withstand the strong East Palace Six Rates and the elite of the Qi Palace.
Xue Wanche and Feng Li broke through the Fanglin Gate and rushed to the Qin Palace, but they were already half an hour late.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji and Dugu Yanyun immediately arrived, holding the heads of Jiancheng and Yuanji in their hands, and the blood was ticking.
"Jiancheng and Yuanji have committed rebellion, and they have already been awarded the head, are you still obsessed?"
When the soldiers of the East Palace and the Qi Mansion saw the head, the luck and extravagance in their hearts suddenly disappeared, the crown prince and the king of Qi were dead, who else could they fight for?
What is the point of continuing to resist stubbornly and besieging the Qin Palace?
Not only is it useless, but it is also a great disaster.
I didn't want Xue Wanche to insist: "Before the prince was alive, we waited for a lot of favors, but now that the prince is dead, will we be ungrateful and flee to avoid disaster?" ”
"Xue Wanche, don't be obsessed."
The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked, he thought that the completion of the Yuanji head was here, and everyone in the East Palace and the Qi Mansion should be scattered, who would have thought that Xue Wanche would be so loyal and insistent.
Xue Wanche ignored it and continued to rush towards the Qin Palace.
Some of the soldiers immediately followed, but most of the soldiers and horses began to hesitate, and when Yuwen Shi and Pei Lin both arrived and the holy decree was revealed, the situation was completely settled.
When Pei Lin shouted "Put down your weapons, don't blame the past", most of the soldiers immediately responded, and for a while, the sound of soldiers falling to the ground came and went.
Xue Wanche and Feng Li looked up to the sky and sighed: "That's it, it's worthy of the prince." ”
The two led a few personal guards to break through and run to the outside of Chang'an City.
At this time, the situation was still critical, and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't care about the pursuit, and hurried back to the Qin Palace.
After confirming that his sister and three nephews (daughters) were safe, the eldest grandson Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, Erlang him?"
The eldest grandson, who had been in suspense for most of the day, hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, the general trend has been decided, His Royal Highness King Qin will enter the palace to see His Majesty."
The eldest grandson Wuji chuckled: "Scared me to death, fortunately you are safe." ”
"There is no danger."
The eldest grandson Wuji exclaimed: "Uncle is really old and spicy, and at a critical moment, he can actually stop the enemy with a prisoner, wonderful!" ”
"No..."
The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "Brother, I can't hide it, this matter is not my uncle's idea. ”
"Huh?"
"It's him!"
Seeing his sister pointing at Chen Yu, the suspicious eldest grandson Wuji's eyes suddenly widened.
