Shi Bufan and Xue Wanche said something, and ordinary people couldn't hear what they were talking about at all. That Qi King Li Yuanji was also extremely anxious when he saw all this, obviously not knowing what Xue Wanche was thinking. Now Li Yuanji needs Xue Wanche's support very much, especially since he has become a lost dog, and there are not many guards in his Qi Palace. At present, the main need is the guards around the crown prince Li Jiancheng at that time, and these guards are temporarily led by Xue Wanche, if Xue Wanche defects, then Li Yuanji will be alone in the end.

Xue Wanche finally separated from Shi Bufan, and then he came to Li Yuanji.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Prince Jiancheng has the grace of knowing me, and his kindness is as deep as the sea. I can't watch a few of the children of Prince Jiancheng get killed like this, so I want to borrow something from you! Xue Wanche said.

Li Yuanji immediately said, "What do you want to borrow?" As long as I can kill Li Shimin's traitor and put me on the throne, I can lend it to you! ”

"This thing is the head of His Royal Highness King Qi." Xue Wanche replied.

After Xue Wanche answered, taking advantage of Li Yuanji's lack of reaction, he immediately stabbed Li Yuanji's chest, abdomen and torso with a sword. And Li Yuanji didn't expect Xue Wanche, who was still his comrade-in-arms less than ten minutes ago, to suddenly attack himself. When Li Yuanji reacted, a sword had already been inserted into his chest. Xue Wanche was even more ruthless, he couldn't stab into Li Yuanji's body, and he turned the hilt of the sword, Li Yuanji was suddenly injured even more, and he died without saying a word of his last words.

"Prince Jiancheng has great kindness to me, but you don't have King Qi, so I can only do this!" Xue Wanche pulled out the bloody sword and said.

Shi Bufan knew that this Li Yuanji had to die, and Li Shimin would not let Li Yuanji go. Maybe Li Shimin can let go of Li Jiancheng's son, but it doesn't mean that he will let go of Li Yuanji. After all, Li Yuanji is one of his younger brothers and one of the generals of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is prestige, status or seniority, he is qualified to compete for power with Li Shimin. And Li Jiancheng's sons, although they have this identity, they don't have this prestige, so they don't necessarily have too many hidden dangers. Therefore, Li Yuanji is bound to die, and Li Jiancheng's son has such a glimmer of life, so he can only sacrifice a mortal person in exchange for a glimmer of life for Li Jiancheng's sons.

Xue Wanche took Li Yuanji's head and said in front of Shi Bufan: "I have killed the traitor Li Yuanji, please take me to the King of Qin!" ”

"Good!"

This Xuanwumen change can be regarded as a real and complete end. The Xuanwumen coup ended with Li Jiancheng being imprisoned, Li Yuanji being killed, and Li Yuan, the emperor, being "sick", and then handing over power to Li Shimin. However, because of Shi Bufan's involvement, the development process of things is a little different. Li Jiancheng did not die, but Li Yuanji still died. And Li Jiancheng's sons may have a glimmer of life, this can still be fought for, after all, Shi Bufan doesn't want such children to be killed like this, it's too inhumane.

Of course, Shi Bufan will not come forward in person, he doesn't want to stand directly on the opposite side of Li Shimin face to face, he just needs to make some indirect suggestions behind his back, he will not choose to stand on the direct opposite of Li Shimin, he still wants to live a few more years!

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin looked at this Li Yuanji's head, and he was very satisfied. And this time it is finally solved, and in the next few days, Li Yuan will also "due to illness" to take the throne into internal meditation, and then let Li Shimin ascend the throne and be the emperor, so that Li Shimin can officially become the emperor and go to the peak of power for a lifetime.

"General Xue was able to kill the traitor Li Yuanji, which is really a great achievement! May I ask General Xue, how do you want to reward Lone? Li Shimin asked.

Xue Wanche immediately knelt down and said, "King Qin, although the crown prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had an affair with the harem, the cholera palace, and plotted to rebel, the whole family should be exterminated. But after all, Prince Jiancheng has the grace of knowing me, and the kindness is affectionate, and I have to repay it. Although Prince Jiancheng has been imprisoned, the minister hopes that King Qin can open the net and not link the sons of Prince Jiancheng and bypass their lives! The minister would rather not have this reward, but just hope that King Qin can spare the life of the child who built the prince! ”

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, this Xue Wanche obviously wanted to use his credit for killing Li Yuanji as a promise that Li Jiancheng's sons would not be killed by Li Shimin. And Li Jiancheng's sons are also political banners, so there is a certain risk if they are not killed. But now that Xue Wanche has said this, it is not appropriate for Li Shimin to agree, but it is not appropriate if he does not agree.

However, soon, Li Shimin immediately replied with a smile: "Okay, General Xue is really loyal and commendable, and he does not forget the kindness of the old master, and he is really a model of loyalty for a generation." Very well, how can a few children have anything to do with his father? However, after all, the laws of the imperial court cannot be disobeyed, and they can avoid capital crimes, so let him accompany their father for life! ”

"Thank you, King Qin!" Xue Wanche said.

Xue Wanche glanced at Shi Bufan, and then thought to himself: "This Shi Xiaoshulang really calculated everything, and he even thought of this. According to his method, the king of Qin really spared the sons of the prince Jiancheng. However, although it is a lifelong captivity, at least their father and son can still be together in this life, and they are worthy of the crown prince. Hey—"

Shi Bufan knew that Li Shimin was actually a guy who "wanted to save face and suffer from crimes", and Shi Bufan happened to know this. Li Shimin's love of face is not ordinary love, Li Shimin is an emperor who loves face. Judging from the fact that he wants to revise the historical record, he is actually a face-loving emperor. In fact, all emperors who want to revise history are not shameless, but they are very face-loving. They are worried that their descendants will look down on them, so they want to protect their "face" by revising history.

Xue Wanche proposed to use his own merits in exchange for the chance to survive Li Jiancheng's sons, maybe if it was on weekdays, Li Shimin would find an excuse to find an opportunity to kill these Li Jiancheng's sons. But Xue Wanche said it in such a large public, which made Li Shimin very embarrassed. If Li Shimin wants to insist on killing those Li Jiancheng's sons, and the oldest of these children is only about eleven years old, if he kills them casually, I am afraid that Li Shimin will have a bad reputation. If no one picks it out, you can do it in secret. But now that he has been picked out by Xue Wanche, Li Shimin naturally has to worry about his reputation and face in the future.

It is naturally not appropriate to order the killing of a few children in public, so that others will question him in the future. Therefore, Li Shimin's only choice at this time was to "get off the donkey", and then agreed to this condition. And to commend the so-called "loyalty" of Xue Wanche, so that he can kill two birds with one stone to subdue Xue Wanche, a famous general at the end of the Sui Dynasty. And you can establish a political orientation, and then tell everyone to be "loyal" and loyal to the "old master". Those kings actually had very mixed feelings, on the one hand, they wanted their courtiers to be loyal to them, so they appreciated those who were loyal to their enemies.

Therefore, there are many cases where there are many generals who are loyal to the old master, and the victors often do not kill them, and then they will take the initiative to release them, and even make a lot of compromises in order to win their hearts. In fact, this is nothing more than trying to erect a banner and then promote the idea of loyalty. So Li Shimin praised Xue Wanche at this time, but in fact, he just got off the donkey, and then by the way, he could kill two birds with one stone, and he could promote the so-called loyalty.

However, this Xue Wanche obviously didn't have a very bright brain, and he actually looked at Shi Bufan at this time, which made Shi Bufan extremely depressed.

"Damn, Xue Wanche, what do you think I'm doing? Aren't you telling everyone that I came up with this idea? Shi Bufan scolded Xue Wanche in his heart for being a fool who actually sold himself at this time.

And there were not a few fools at the scene, Li Shimin saw Xue Wanche like this, and obviously knew that Shi Bufan was giving Xue Wanche an idea, so that Li Shimin also glanced at the corners of his mouth, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with Shi Bufan. And the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this situation, obviously very incomprehensible to Shi Bufan, a "fool". At this time, giving Xue Wanche an idea, isn't he giving Li Shimin eye medicine?

I'm afraid that everyone knows that Shi Bufan's so-called contribution to the dragon's merit this time is about to be blown. Originally, Shi Bufan was one of the biggest contributors to the Xuanwumen coup, even if his qualifications were not as good as those old ministers, but the future prospects would definitely not be low. Because Shi Bu is young, he is only nineteen years old this year, and he is just twenty years old, which is still very young. Anyone who is engaged in politics knows that youth is capital, and youth is the greatest capital. Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui is already an "old man" over forty years old, and Shi Bufan is obviously a generation or two younger than them.

Maybe if you can take advantage of this dragon work, and then ten or twenty years later, after Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are boiled to death, you may be able to go to such a high position as Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui. But Shi Bufan actually did this stupid thing here, and actually took the initiative to find a way to save Li Jiancheng's son's life, so he must be unlucky.

I'm afraid that this so-called dragon work will also come to an end because of this! There is no evidence, but it is certainly the case, and it is not necessarily that important for a king. There are many unnecessary things in this world, so as long as Li Shimin identifies it, there is no need to do too much evidence.

Although there is no evidence, and there is no suitable reason, it cannot be killed because of this. However, if nothing else, there may be no political future in this life.

Soon, everyone also dispersed, and many middle and low-level officials originally wanted to climb up to Shi Bufan, a hero who had made a contribution to the dragon's work. But now they have also chosen to take the initiative to bypass Shi Bufan, because this Shi Bufan is actually bold enough to give Xue Wanche an idea to keep Li Jiancheng's son, which must have offended Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin very unhappy. In the future, let alone what is from the dragon's work, I am afraid that I will have to "retire" in advance in this life. For this political "lame duck", no one wants to come close.

And after everyone dismissed the meeting, the eldest grandson Wuji finally said to Shi Bufan: "You can do it yourself!" ”

Obviously, the eldest grandson Wuji can say such a word to Shi Bufan, which means that the eldest grandson Wuji has "given up" Shi Bufan. Originally, they were all participants in the coup d'état in Xuanwumen together, and they were all so-called vested interest groups. Although they may represent different identity interests, they are also mostly people who have carried guns together. But now that Shi Bufan has done such a "stupid thing", the eldest grandson Wuji naturally wants to "cut" the relationship between them as soon as possible, so that Shi Bufan can "do it himself", which means that if there is anything in the future, don't come to me.

Shi Bufan also nodded, anyway, he didn't want to get mixed into any high-level positions, he still felt good about his current life. As for what to say to get into a high-level position and become a prime minister, then he has no idea at all at the moment. So he's better be honest and have a good day. I have a petty official to do, and a fifth-grade female official to be my wife, although the real power may not be great, but there will be no lack of material conditions. And then there is a lover who is in business, and he is considered to have no worries about food and clothing. So there is no need to risk joining this high-level political game, where is the political game of the country's high-level casually involved? Just follow the general trend and mix up a kid's day, and we'll talk about it later!

Either way, the rest of the situation was completely settled. Chang'an City has also returned to tranquility, and the gates of Chang'an City, which have been closed for almost four days, have been opened again, and the people outside can walk in. Although they had all heard about the coup, they didn't know why. Even a small number of people who know the specific process are very secretive about it, and they are reluctant to say more, hoping to keep these things in their stomachs. For those ordinary people, they don't care who the king is, what the surname is, and even the gender of the king can not be cared about, because they are all the ruling class.

However, the earth is still missing someone, so everyone is gradually returning to their daily life. And no one realizes that a new era has begun.
