"Your Majesty has thought about it a lot, the King of Qin asked me to come because he was worried that His Majesty would be frightened, so he specially asked me to escort His Majesty, and when the King of Qin put down the rebellion, he would come to see him in person," Wei Chigong finished speaking, standing on the side of the boat and guarding, not talking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As an emperor, Li Yuan's mind is of course not ordinary, and he fixed his mind at this moment: "Eunuch Pei, what is the matter now?" ”

"Your Majesty, now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is better to push the boat with the water...... Pei Lian's meaning is obvious, the crown prince and the king of Qi are dead, only Li Shimin, the king of Qin, can inherit the throne, it is better to be a favor and save his life.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the crown prince and the king of Qi did not participate in the strategy of raising volunteers to resist the Sui Dynasty, and they did not make contributions to the world. They were jealous of King Qin's great merit and prestige, so they planned a treacherous conspiracy together. Now that the King of Qin has denounced and killed them, the King of Qin has covered the universe and the world has returned to his heart, if His Majesty can decide to make him the crown prince and entrust him with national affairs, there will be no more incidents. Xiao Yu next to him said righteously.

Chen Shuda: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

The rest of the people: "The ministers also seconded the proposal." ”

Li Yuan looked at a few people coldly, and suddenly had a feeling of betrayal and separation, and felt lonely in his heart, as if he was a little old: "Since all the secretaries think so, I can rest assured, this is originally my wish." After speaking, he coughed a few times, and his face became more and more pale.

Wei Chigong was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he heard that the battle in Xuanwumen had not subsided, he was afraid that something would happen, so he said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, at this time, all the barracks must be panicked, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict, and all the soldiers and horses will be at the disposal of King Qin." ”

Li Yuan saw that the big thing had been decided, so he said: "Okay, just like General Wei Chi said, it will not increase the casualties of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and come to write and ink." ”

Li Yuan quickly put down his pen, completely lost his usual enthusiasm, and after writing it, he instructed: "Yu Wenshi, you go to the East Pavilion to announce the edict, and Supervisor Pei will bother you to go to the East Palace to appease everyone, remember to take care of my grandson." After saying that, he leaned heavily on the backrest.

Wei Chigong saw that the matter had been decided, and hurriedly rushed to Xuanwu Gate, at this time the war had not stopped, there must have been an accident, and he took the heads of the prince and the king of Qi and went straight to Xuanwu Gate.

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, the morale of the Su Guard Army was low, Zhonglang General Lu Shiheng had also been killed, the East Palace guards slowly gained the upper hand, Xue Wanche saw that the Xuanwu Gate could not be attacked for a long time, and personally beat the drum and gathered troops to attack the Qin Palace. Everyone in the city was shocked, as soon as the Qin Wangfu was broken, he would be slaughtered, and he couldn't get out of the relationship.

Wei Chigong hurried over and hurried up to the city tower, seeing that the guards of the East Palace were about to storm the Qin Palace. Yu Chigong roared: "The crown prince and the king of Qi have been ambushed, and the head is not ready to tie up here......"

shouted three times in a row, everyone in the city was shocked, the elite offensive of the East Palace slowed down, and when they saw the things in Wei Chigong's hand, they suddenly lost their morale and quickly collapsed.

Xue Wanche looked at the head of the crown prince, tears welled up wildly, seeing that the elite of the East Palace had been defeated and the general trend had gone, he led the guards to gallop towards Zhongnan Mountain.

Feng Li secretly sighed and said to his subordinates: "I'll kill Jing Junhong, which can be regarded as a slight repayment to the prince." Then he threw away his weapon and fled.

In front of the East Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji led the troops directly into the palace, the East Palace guards resisted, but the number was not many, they were all killed, the eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand to the soldiers, and the soldiers rushed in, from time to time there were exclamations and screams of women, children and children in the East Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled coldly and led the troops to the Qi Palace......

Li Shimin in the sea pool was called, Li Yuan looked at the second son standing in front of him, he had mixed feelings in his heart, cheered up, and showed an ugly smile: "Shimin, there has been a gap between you and me these days, and it almost made me no longer trust you, and now the prince and the king of Qi are rebelling, or you are here to save the driver, it seems that you are my most trusted son." ”

Li Shimin's eyes were red and he threw himself into Li Yuan's arms and cried, and only after a long time did he get up and persuade: "Father must be tired from this fright, so let's go back to the palace to rest." ”

Li Yuan sighed and nodded, "Okay, don't be too tired." After speaking, he was helped up by the inner attendant and walked towards the Ganlu Hall step by step, his steps were extremely sluggish.

Li Shimin wiped away his tears, his eyes sparkled, and he asked without looking back: "Has Wuji been dealt with?" ”

"His Royal Highness, everything has been dealt with, and the palace has been calm."

"Well, go home."

So far, the curtain has come down on Xuanwu Gate.

---------------

When night fell, in the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Yuan sat behind the dragon case and looked at His Royal Highness's Pei Lian, and asked for a long time: "Eunuch Pei, how is my grandson?" ”

"It's... When the old minister rushed to the East Palace... The East Palace is no longer empty... Your Highnesses have been... Already..."Pei Lin didn't know how to say it, and he was afraid that his old friend would be angry, and if something went wrong during this sensitive period, he couldn't afford to be guilty.

"Okay, Eunuch Pei, you can step back first." Li Yuan's tone was very calm, calm and terrifying.

After Pei Lin retreated, Li Yuan's body suddenly shook and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and he passed out...

On the second day, Li Yuan failed to make an early dynasty and announced a holy decree: from today onwards, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, will go to the title of Qin king and be crowned crown prince, and all affairs of the army and the state, no matter how big or small, will be entrusted to the crown prince to handle and decide, and then report to me.

At this point, Li Shimin became the crown prince and installed cronies in the imperial court, and Li Shimin also recalled Wang Gui and Wei Ting from Shanzhou (now Xichang, Sichuan), and both of them served as counselors together with the former crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng.

Gao Shilian is the servant, Fang Xuanling is the middle secretary, Xiao Yu is the left servant, the eldest grandson Wuji is the secretary of the ministry, and Du Ruhui is the secretary of the military department.

At this point, the members of Li Shimin and the officials who supported Li Shimin controlled the key departments and positions of the Tang Dynasty, and completely controlled the military and political power of the Tang Dynasty.

He also issued an edict pardoning the former crown prince Li Jiancheng and the remnants of the party under the command of the king of Qi, and sent the counselor Wei Zheng to pacify the area east of the Kunshan Mountains, allowing him to act at the opportune opportunity.
