As soon as Li Chengqian saw her, he felt some warmth in his heart, his queen was not like his father and mother, but she had the demeanor of her own mother.

"Zhuyun, don't be so polite, we are also childhood sweethearts in my father-in-law's words. You should share blessings and misfortunes, like father and mother, you must not be so polite. ”

Cheng Zhuyun blushed and said: "I'm comparable to the Holy Empress, I'm a stupid girl, it's very good to help Your Majesty stabilize the harem." ”

"Zhuyun, don't say that, we studied together back then, you always had to be excellent in exams, and the teacher didn't take you as an example to teach us."

Hearing him talk about the past, Cheng Zhuyun sneered; Li Chengqian was also in a good mood when he thought of the past, and laughed; Shu Lang's laughter went straight to the sky, as if to take away all the unpleasantness.

Before dawn the next day, a well-equipped team came from outside the Xuanwu Gate; They came to the city and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, and follow the order of Chen Guogong, the general of the right guard, to come and garrison the Xuanwu Gate." ”

"Wait a minute! Let's report to General Shi! The man said yes and ran away.

After a while, the gate of the Xuanwu Gate Black Hole Cave was still closed, which made people feel a little chilled.

"Chen Guogong, there won't be any mistakes, right? Is Shi faithful? ”

"A few princes rest assured, that Shi Zhong's original name was Ashina Zhong, and he was originally a small tribal leader of the Eastern Turks, and over the years, Li Chengqian has targeted the Turkic nobles everywhere and promoted those original mud legs, which has long made them very dissatisfied.

Shi Zhong has taken refuge in me since a few years ago, and he has absolutely no problems. ”

As they were talking, suddenly the gates of Xuanwu Gate creaked open; At this time, Hou Junji landed with a stone in his heart and said: "I just said that there will definitely be no problem." A few princes, success or failure is here, please rush in with me and kill the faint king! ”

Everyone was overjoyed one day, and rushed to the Xuanwu Gate with a shout; As a result, as soon as they rushed to the door, a tall man walked out of the Xuanwu Gate.

Hou Junji and the others took a closer look and were so frightened that they almost fell off their horses; The person in front of him has an indigo face and red eyebrows, nine feet tall, broad shoulders and a round waist; In his hand he was holding a large axe the size of a wheel.

"How is he? Why did he come back again? Everyone's hearts flipped and they all felt that this time they were afraid that they were going to fail.

Hou Junji's face turned black, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. He pointed at Cheng Zhijie with the big knife in his hand and said, "Cheng Zhijie!" You have been dismissed by the first emperor and driven out of Chang'an, how can you come back here. You are disrespectful. ”

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said: "A certain family has been ordered by His Majesty today and has been reinstated. With me Cheng Zhijie in the second place, when will you rebels not get off the horse and surrender? ”

Hou Junji's face was cloudy, and behind him, Li Tai, the king of Wei, Li You, the king of Qi, Li Su, the king of Shu, and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, were even more frightened.

The soldiers behind him were very frightened when they heard that it was Cheng Zhijie, the first god of war in the Tang Dynasty, they secretly retreated one by one, and no one dared to come forward to fight.

At this moment, there was a sound of fighting outside the palace, and after a short time, the sound gradually disappeared, and soon a white-robed general, it was Xue Li and Xue Rengui, who hugged his fists and said: "Back to the county king, the thieves outside have all been subdued." Their families are also controlled by us. ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Hou Junji and the others.

Hou Junji knew that he was at a critical juncture of life and death, and he couldn't do it if he didn't make a move, he bit his teeth, and rushed up with a big knife in his hand, and slashed his head with a shout: "Cheng Zhijie, you give me here!" ”

Lao Cheng was not in a hurry, and when his moves were old, the big axe slammed up. "Dang!" With a sound, Hou Junji's big knife flew into the sky, and Cheng Zhijie's big axe let go forward, "Bang!" With a bang, Hou Junji was smashed off the war horse and spurted blood.

"How many of you, do you still want to resist?" Lao Cheng shouted. Li Zhen and Li Zhen sighed, rolled into the saddle, got off the horse, and said, "See the teacher." ”

Li Tai's face kept changing, but seeing that the Tang soldiers around him were gathering more and more, he had no choice but to dismount and give up resistance.

Li You shouted with a hideous face: "Cheng Zhijie, you are alone, but I have thousands of troops." I see you're covered in iron and can grind a few nails. Kill me as you please! ”

As soon as he gave an order, a few people rushed up with him, and Cheng Zhijie snorted coldly: "Yan Hongliang, Zan Junmo, Liang Mengbiao, the remnants of your Yin family still dare to make trouble." ”

Yan Hongliang shouted: "Hmph! At that time, our father was the general of the Yin family, and he witnessed the Li family slaughtering our whole family, and the young lady was also given to Li Shimin as a servant; Only the little boy escaped because he was young, how can this blood feud be forgotten?

We originally let King Qi get the Tang Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a breath of evil in our hearts. But today is the heavens that don't help me, and the little boy's plan has been ruined by you. But even if we can't succeed in having so many Li Shimin's sons to accompany the funeral, we will not live in vain. ”

They rushed to Cheng Zhijie's side, only to find that there were only a few people with them; Where would these people be Cheng Zhijie's opponents, he was axed down by him, and all of them were killed. Yan Hongliang, Zan Junmo, and Liang Mengbiao died, and Li You was also knocked unconscious and fell off the war horse unconscious.

"Stupid! Do you think that just you, just Li You, a stupid person, can call on so many princes to rebel? You're just pawns in someone else's hands! Aren't you two coming out yet? ”

With his loud shout, two people slowly stepped out from the back of the rebel ranks. The two of them took off the helmets on their heads, knelt on the ground in unison, and said, "See the teacher (father)"

Cheng Zhijie looked at them silently and said: "King Wu, Cheng Chengmo or Yicheng, how many years have passed, and you still can't forget the Great Sui; I also want to restore the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui through this method.

You think you are doing it carefully. But if people don't know what to do unless you do, everything you do is already under your Majesty's control.

Alright, get off your horse and surrender! I have promised Your Majesty to spare your lives, and if you are really obsessed, beware of my ruthlessness. Chengma, do you still want to compare yourself with your father? ”

Cheng Chengmo was so frightened that he hurriedly threw the big axe on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "The child doesn't dare, the child doesn't dare." ”

Li Ke was slightly disappointed, in his opinion, this cousin is strong in martial arts, and he is also famous in the army, which is his biggest reliance, Cheng Chengmo's surrender is really too big a blow to him.

"King of the Counties, why can't you help me? Our relationship should be further than Li Chengqian; And my father also said that I was more like him. I believe that I can govern Datang better; I can also crown you king, and we will share the world. ”

Lao Cheng pouted slightly and said: "Li Ke, your personality is most like your father, and your ability is not bad, but you don't have your father's heart and bearing, the country was handed over to you, and it was another Great Sui Dynasty." You better lay down your arms and surrender! ”

Li Su said with great grief and indignation: "Becoming the king and defeating the king, anyway, you have already made up your mind to protect Li Chengqian, and what we say is not right." Then kill us and show your loyalty to your master. Let him see how you carelessly killed your relatives. ”

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "You don't have to provoke me, how to deal with you is up to Your Majesty." They came and bound them up for me and gave them to your majesty's disposal. ”

Xue Rengui promised to lead people up and tie up Li Ke and the others. Then he brought down the Taiji Palace.

When Li Chengqian heard the shouting and stopped, he knew that the rebellion had been put down, and he had already come to the Taiji Hall to wait.

Seeing that Cheng Zhijie brought several of his younger brothers up, Li Chengqian let out a long breath. Looking at these anti-kings, Li Chengqian was angry and a little helpless at the same time, but what should be done with them? I have already made a promise in front of my father that the Jedi will not kill each other. ”

Seeing Li Chengqian's frown, Cheng Zhijie knew what he was thinking and said, "Your Majesty, what if you don't know?" Just hand them over to Wechen! ”

Li Chengqian was overjoyed and immediately crowned Cheng Zhijie as the Great Demon King, and the power was responsible for the trial of the case of the prince's rebellion.

Then, in accordance with Li Shimin's instructions, Li Chengqian summoned Li Jiqian to the assassination of Luozhou. Then he added the seal of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and ordered Li Tao to serve as a subordinate of Tongzhongshu and participate in the management of confidential affairs. In the same year, he became the central minister of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Cheng Zhijie's case of the rebellion of the kings had been dealt with, and the scope of this case was very small, and the rebellion of Li Ke and Li Su did not affect Yang Jier; Even Li You was only sowing discord by his uncle Yin Hongzhi and did not affect his mother Concubine Yin.

Soon Li Chengqian pushed this rebellion onto Yin Hongzhi's head, and destroyed his family, and several princes who participated in the rebellion were also cut to civilian officials and deprived of the princes.

Li Chengqian announced Cheng Zhijie to the palace and asked: "Father-in-law, why did you send a greeting to sail out to sea and leave the Central Plains?" ”

Cheng Zhijie smiled: "I'm old, and if I don't go out, I won't have time." I'm going to fulfill the promise I made to my husbands. I promised them that I would one day take them around the world.

I didn't expect that because of the busy affairs, my mother was seriously ill, and then Sixin also fell ill and left us, and this delay has come to this point. If I don't look at it again, I don't think I'll have a chance again.

Li Ke and a few of them I took away, the overseas place is big, let them toss casually! If anyone has the ability to lay down a territory for the Tang Dynasty, he can be a foreign king, which can be regarded as satisfying their wishes. ”

Li Chengqian couldn't persuade him, so he had to nod his head in agreement; In August of this year, Cheng Zhijie took a naval ship and set off from Panyu to start another long-distance trip. This time, there were 30,000 troops with him, as well as several anti-kings who were demoted to the common people, as well as Cheng Chengmo, Hou Junji and other generals who rebelled, as well as Princess Yicheng and others who were over the age of six.

waved goodbye to Li Chengqian and his wife who came to see each other off on the shore, Cheng Zhijie, roared, and the fleet set sail and sailed towards the deep blue sea, and went to open up a new legend of the Great Demon King
