Li Chengqian finally made up his mind to launch a coup d'état in advance, and at that moment Du He and Zhao Jie would immediately gather the assassins who had already been prepared, speaking of which, Li Chengqian also had six rates of troops in his hands, but Li Chengqian did not dare to use these people, because even the guards of the East Palace were selected from the soldiers of various prefectures, and they might not be willing to rebel with him, so Li Chengqian could only use the private soldiers he secretly recruited.

After a while, all the recruited private soldiers were assembled, the number was not very large, only more than a hundred people, but it was enough, because Li Anyan, who was in charge of the palace guards, was also his person, as long as they entered the palace, Li Anyan would naturally cooperate with Li Chengqian's actions and transfer the personal guards along the way, so that they could go straight to Li Shimin's dormitory Ganlu Palace.

At that moment, Li Chengqian personally led this private army to the palace gate between the East Palace and the Inner Palace, this palace gate is the passage between the East Palace and the Inner Palace, usually it is mainly convenient for him to enter the palace to see Li Shimin, but at night, this palace gate will be locked like other palace gates, and it is usually guarded by the guards in the palace.

However, the guards of this palace gate have also been bought by Li Chengqian, so Li Chengqian came to the palace gate before and after, and directly asked people to step forward and call the door according to the previous agreement, and at this time Li Chengqian also changed into a suit of armor, riding on a horse and holding a long lance, and the private soldiers behind him were also murderous, just waiting for the palace gate to open and immediately rush in.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that when the people who went to call the door knocked on the door at a special frequency according to the agreement, the general guarding the door should have responded and opened the palace gate, but after waiting for a while, there was still no movement on the side of the palace gate, which made the people on Li Chengqian's side couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Zhao Jie, are you sure that you have notified the gatekeeper to get ready?" Li Chengqian asked Zhao Jie beside him with a serious face at this time, it is already early in the morning, and it will be dawn in about an hour, it is the best time to raid, if you miss it, it will increase countless risks for them.

"My subordinates have confirmed that they have been notified, and Wang Heng, who is guarding the door, has personally assured me that he will be guarding the inside of the city gate all night, and as long as we call the door, he will personally open the door." Zhao Jie also replied with a frown at this time, but when he said these words, a bad premonition also surged in his heart.

However, as soon as Zhao Jie's words fell, he suddenly heard some movement from the other side of the palace gate, and then the originally closed palace door slowly opened with a "squeak", which made Li Chengqian, Zhao Jie and others all happy in their hearts, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

It's a pity that the smiles on the faces of Li Chengqian and the others didn't last long, but when the palace gate was opened, when they saw the situation on the other side, the smiles on their faces also froze there all of a sudden, and they saw a team of guards on the inside of the palace gate on the opposite side of the city gate lined up murderously, and in front of these guards, the first person was riding on a horse, and when Li Chengqian saw this person, his face changed greatly, and his whole body trembled and almost fell off the horse.

"Father...... Father~" Li Chengqian looked at the person in front of him and shouted in a trembling voice, he never dreamed that when the palace door was opened, he saw Li Shimin who was fully armed and the guards in the palace, especially at this time, Li Shimin looked at him with anger and disappointment, which made his whole person almost collapse.

Zhao Jie, Du He and others didn't expect to see Li Shimin here, they were all frightened and flew out of the sky, and some people even couldn't hold their weapons steadily, and they fell to the ground with a "bang~", their number was not much, but there were thousands of elite palace guards on the opposite side, so they didn't have any chance at all.

"What a good son of mine, when I received the news, I couldn't believe that you would really rebel, and even when I came here just now, I hoped to be able to keep an empty night, but I never expected you to come after all!" Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian with pain on his face at this time, and his voice was also filled with incomparable sadness and disappointment.

Under Li Shimin's gaze, Li Chengqian's body was already crumbling, but when he heard Li Shimin's words, he didn't know where he got the courage, and suddenly sat up straight, and his eyes stared at him without showing weakness and said: "Of course, Erchen is a good son of his father, because Erchen originally learned from your father!" ”

"Shut up!" Li Shimin didn't expect Li Chengqian to dare to fight back, and as soon as he spoke, he uncovered the deepest scar in his heart, but at this time, he seemed to feel that a voice in the dark was telling him that all this today was the retribution of the Xuanwu Sect at the beginning.

"Hehehe~Hahahaha~" In the face of Li Shimin's stern reprimand, Li Chengqian suddenly laughed, and the more he laughed, the more he laughed, the louder he laughed, which was extremely harsh in this silent court, and even Li Shimin was stunned by Li Chengqian's abnormal behavior.

After a long while, I saw Li Chengqian stop laughing, but he looked at Li Shimin with a sadness and indignation on his face and said: "Father, you can't believe that Erchen will rebel, but why don't you ask yourself, who forced Erchen to come to this point?" ”

"What do you mean, do you rebel or force you to fail?" Li Shimin also reacted at this time, and stared at Li Chengqian with a very ugly face at the moment and asked rhetorically.

"Hahahaha~, it seems that you still don't admit it, but I want to ask my good father, since you have made me the crown prince, why do you still favor the fourth brother so much, and the treatment he has received as a prince can be compared with me, which also makes him think that he can replace me and fight with me everywhere, but you, as a father, turn a blind eye at all, and let the fourth brother challenge my status, who do you say is caused by this?" Li Chengqian also let go at this time, and was not afraid of Li Shimin at all, but said all the things that he didn't dare to say before.

"You...... You rebel! Li Shimin was also trembling by Li Chengqian's words, Li You's rebellion made him very sad before, and now even the most proud son has rebelled, this kind of successive blows are not at all something that ordinary people can bear, and fortunately he is Li Shimin, otherwise I am afraid that he would have fainted in anger if he was another person.

"Rebel?" Li Chengqian suddenly showed a sad expression when he heard Li Shimin's accusation, and his eyes were overflowing with tears, and after a while, he spoke again, "Father, when I was only seven years old, I was made the prince by you, and I was taught to be a qualified prince since I was a child, so I studied hard since I was a child, and I didn't dare to slack off at all, and then I finally did it, everyone praised me for being a virtuous prince, but I don't understand what I did wrong, so that your father and emperor are more and more partial to the fourth brother, Now that I've come to this point, most of the reasons are to blame on you, Father! ”

In the face of his son's successive accusations, Li Shimin also felt that his anger was almost burning to the top of his head, and he couldn't listen to Li Chengqian's words at all, so he roared again at the moment: "Shut up, take it all down for me!" ”

With Li Shimin's order, the guards behind him immediately pounced like a tiger, but Li Chengqian had already given up resistance at this time, threw down his weapons and let the guards tie himself up, and a few people behind him wanted to be trapped beasts, but they were soon corpsed in two places, as for Zhao Jie and Du He and others, they all laid down their weapons and surrendered very wisely.

The arrest of Li Chengqian and others marked the complete bankruptcy of his rebellious intentions, but this matter is far from over, and it has even just begun, because Li Chengqian, who is the crown prince, wants to kill his father to seize the throne, and the subsequent impact of this incident is also extremely bad, and may even shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian was arrested for plotting against him, and he couldn't cover such a big thing at all, so the next day, the news had spread all over Chang'an City, and the whole Chang'an was also a sensation for a while.

Li Xiu of Chang'an City was also the first batch of people to receive the news that Li Chengqian was arrested for plotting against him, although Li Xiu had already been mentally prepared, but when he knew that this incident had finally happened, he still couldn't help but sigh, and then pondered for a while before he ordered: "Prepare the horse and enter the palace!" ”
