Chapter 50: A Different Xuanwumen Coup (3)

The coup d'état is actually not a competition for military power and military proficiency. Of course, the power of troops and the number of troops can determine many things, but in the process of a coup d'état, it is not the army that really determines the outcome of the coup, but the information. The more information that anyone has, the greater the hope of victory. Therefore, the most important thing for a coup d'état is to grasp the power of information, so that the basic guarantee of victory is to ensure victory. If there is a time when they are all controlled, then the so-called military power is just a joke.

Now Shi Bufan suggested using a fake news to mobilize Li Jiancheng, and when Li Jiancheng heard the so-called plan of Li Shimin's mutiny being crushed, he would also think it was normal. Because Li Shimin has a motive for mutiny, there is a possibility of mutiny. Li Jiancheng has deprived Li Shimin of his military power, so at this time, Li Shimin's mutiny is not abnormal, but very normal. At this time, "Li Yuan" told him that Li Shimin's mutiny had been crushed, and Li Jiancheng's negligence would most likely think it was true. After all, this excuse is too good and too realistic. is also too in line with Li Jiancheng's ideas, because this reason is reasonable. Especially within the palace, Li Yuan has a lot of troops under his control, and it is not impossible to crush Li Shimin's mutiny, but it is very normal.

But Li Jiancheng never dreamed that Li Yuan was smart this time but was mistaken by being smart, and in the end, because he was paid attention to by Shi Bufan, Li Shimin made a time difference, so that Li Yuan was captured by Li Shimin when he was in a military vacuum. Therefore, this is why the Son of Heaven was coerced to make the princes happen.

"Crown prince, the emperor has crushed the rebellion of King Qin, and King Qin has been captured. Now ask the crown prince to go over and interrogate King Qin, and then punish him severely! ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he also laughed and said, "Second brother, second brother, you are finally not my opponent!" You are clever but you are mistaken by cleverness, and you launch a mutiny at this time, aren't you looking for death? The father is also in the palace, and the palace does not say that the guards in various places, but the Beimen Tun army is not easy to mess with. You actually want to start a mutiny, this is really looking for death! Originally, I thought it would take a little more effort to take you down, but I didn't expect to take you down so easily. You actually want to launch a mutiny in the palace, aren't you looking for death? ”

"Just now I was worried about how there seemed to be a fight in the palace. It turned out that you were mutinied, but you were taken down by your father's guards. Second brother, you dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, but in the end, he was about to fail. I'm the prince, you're in too much of a hurry! ”

Someone next to him immediately said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!" ”

The people next to him were also very happy, thinking that this time Li Shimin himself died and went to launch a mutiny, but was crushed by the emperor, and the crown prince would become the worthy heir of this empire. At that time, didn't following the prince get a dragon merit? So those cronies of the other prince's East Palace are also very proud, obviously feeling very excited about this, and the future glory and wealth are also in their own hands, can they not feel excited? Next, isn't it good to seal your wife and son, glorify your ancestors, and work hard for your family to be strong? Now, success is just around the corner.

"Crown prince, since the emperor has asked you to deal with King Qin, how should we deal with King Qin's party?" Wei Zheng asked.

"The three guys of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui must be dealt with strictly, because they are the masterminds. And other generals will depend on whether they know each other or not, and if they do, I can spare their lives. As for the others, they are also questioned one by one to see how deeply they are involved. However, ......, Shi Bufan can ignore him, he is just a Jiupin school scholar, and he also taught my two daughters, and he also has a lot of relationships behind him, so I don't deal with him, and then let him continue to teach them. Li Jiancheng said.

Li Jiancheng obviously thought that he was victorious, because this time it was Li Yuan who personally crushed Li Shimin's mutiny, and then they could all come over and directly obtain the inheritance. Li Jiancheng took his cronies and civil officials, and then quickly came to Xuanwumen, ready to participate in the disposal of the King of Qin.

After Li Jiancheng walked into the Xuanwu Gate with those civil officials, the Xuanwu Gate guard Chang He immediately closed the door.

"Chang He, what do you mean by this?" Li Jiancheng asked.

Chang He immediately said: "Prince, offended!" ”

Soon, when Li Jiancheng and those civil officials were not paying attention, Li Shimin came over with cavalry, and the ministers and generals around Li Shimin also followed him.

"You, you, you, ......you, Li Jiancheng pointed at Li Shimin and asked in shock.

Of course, Li Shimin said politely: "Big brother, you have caused trouble in the palace and fornicated with the concubine, which is really an unforgivable crime." Father has ordered me to arrest you and dispose of you! ”

Li Jiancheng didn't expect that there would be such a reversal in things, he originally thought that the overall situation had been decided, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Li Jiancheng immediately realized that he had been tricked, but now he doesn't know what to do. Li Jiancheng originally thought that the overall situation had been decided, and he didn't have too many guards around him, even less than in the original history. As a result, such a small number of guards was nothing in front of Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng saw this situation and just wanted to fight to the death. And at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji came over with the Beimen Tun army, and the Beimen Tun army had been mastered by the eldest grandson Wuji with the tiger talisman, so that the Beimen Tun army was mastered by Li Shimin, and then joined the ranks of besieging Li Jiancheng.

In the face of more than 20,000 Beimen Tun troops, Li Jiancheng's dozens of guards are simply not of a grade, Li Jiancheng knows that he is finished, and he is completely finished. He didn't expect the plot to be so reversed, and he was about to succeed, but he didn't expect that this was a game that the opponent deployed for himself, which was simply too surprising.

"Li Jiancheng, surrender quickly, don't make senseless resistance!" Shi Bufan hurriedly said.

Li Jiancheng saw this scene, and then he knew that it was useless for him to resist. Since Li Shimin has mastered the Beimen Tun Army, it means that the palace has been defeated by Li Shimin, and he has no chance to escape at all. If Li Shimin hadn't mastered the Beimen Tun Army, he might still have a chance to fight to the death, but now there are more than 20,000 people in the Beimen Tun Army, and each of them can drown him with a mouthful of spit. So it's useless to resist.

"Surrender!" Li Jiancheng said.

"Prince ......"

Li Jiancheng said with certainty: "Surrender, we have no chance!" ”

Li Jiancheng is not an absolute mediocrity, he naturally knows that the current situation has no room for him to turn around. So he surrendered voluntarily, which can be regarded as being disposed of. Li Jiancheng knew that if he took the initiative to surrender, he might be able to have a little hope of saving his life. But if you resist stubbornly, then in the end it is really ten deaths. Surrender may be nine deaths, but resistance is ten deaths. The difference in strength is too big, and with more than 20,000 troops in Beimentun, it is easy to drown him.

"Arrest them!" Li Shimin said.

Immediately, someone went up and arrested Li Jiancheng and those civil officials one after another, and then tied them up with various ropes. And Shi Bufan didn't know whether it was right or wrong in his heart, because this time his plan changed the original Xuanwu Sect. In the original Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and later forced his father to abdicate. And now, because of the extraordinary change of plans, Li Jiancheng chose to surrender voluntarily in the face of huge pressure, and did not continue to resist stubbornly, so he had a glimmer of life.

Li Shimin may actually wish that Li Jiancheng would resist desperately, so that he can use the pressure of the Beimen Tun Army to exterminate Li Jiancheng in a dignified manner, so that the excuses are ready-made, that is, Li Jiancheng stubbornly resisted and was arrested, and was finally killed on the spot. This kind of reason is normal, and Li Jiancheng certainly knows this, and he chose to surrender on his own initiative.

Although it is true that taking the initiative to surrender is also a life of death, there is always the hope of that "life". When the time comes, he surrenders, even if he loses the position of the crown prince and the throne, then Li Shimin may choose not to kill him because of the influence. So this is the most suitable choice for now, rather than choosing to resist the arrest and finally be killed on the spot, and then it is better to take the initiative to surrender, so that although the risk is also very high, but at least there is a little hope of survival.

"Okay, Shixiao Shulang, thanks to you this time! If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid the Lone King would really die without a place to bury. Li Shimin said gratefully.

If it weren't for Shi Bufan who saw through Li Yuan's plan this time, and then took advantage of the situation to plan and directly arrested Li Yuan, so that by seizing the soldiers of the Beimentun army, and then controlling the Beimentun army, he then forced Li Jiancheng to surrender under great pressure.

And Shi Bufan secretly thought: "You really should thank me, if according to the original history, you killed your eldest brother with your own hands, and then left an infamy in the history of later generations." And now Li Jiancheng is still alive, and it depends on you whether to kill or not. However, you can solve this pit yourself. ”

"King Qin, now the general trend has been decided, but I also ask King Qin to let the emperor issue an edict, and then let the emperor hand over all military and political affairs to you to deal with. Even, on the grounds of the cholera palace of the crown prince and the king of Qi, their identities were abolished and they were demoted to concubines. In this way, the king of Qin was made the crown prince, and it was enough to supervise the country as the crown prince. At that time, the emperor can be sick, and he must be sick, and then let him recuperate, and the major affairs of the state will be handed over to you, King Qin! Shi Bufan said.

"Okay, just do it!" Li Shimin said.

This plan is much better than the Xuanwumen coup d'état in the original history, at least this time there was almost no bloodshed in the process of the coup, and the most important thing is that the key people did not shed blood, which is fundamental. Li Jiancheng was not killed on the spot, and the people who were killed and injured were all Qianniuwei around Li Yuan, these little people would not have any status in history, so they were naturally ignored. In fact, as long as important people do not die, it can already be said to be a bloodless coup.

For a coup d'état, bloodshed and bloodlessness, evaluation and status in history are completely different things. If there is a bloody coup d'état, even if it is proven to be righteous by later history, the final evaluation will not be very high. Because all human beings yearn for truth, goodness and beauty, although everyone knows that the struggle for power is bloody. However, human beings are inherently benevolent, so the vast majority of people do not think highly of a bloody coup. However, if we can not shed blood, and make some relatively good achievements afterwards, then the evaluation of later history will completely become praise. No one would be too happy about a bloody coup, especially when it comes to the historical status of the future coup, so it is better to shed no blood than to be bloodless. At the very least, don't bleed the key characters, and that's fine.

And Li Shimin soon gathered all his subordinates, and then he was already sitting in the position of the prince of the East Palace, obviously taking this place as his own territory. And this East Palace is actually only a nominal East Palace, in fact, Li Jiancheng does not live in the palace, and Li Shimin is the same. Because Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, father and son love and kill each other, they all leave a hand for everyone. So how could Li Jiancheng live in the palace and put his little life in his father's hands at any time? The relationship between their father and son has long been very complicated, and Li Jiancheng naturally will not be stupid to live in the Taiji Palace for a long time, so it will be too late for him to run when he wants to run at a critical time. So the East Palace is just a symbol, symbolizing the position of the crown prince, in fact, Li Jiancheng rarely lives here at all.

"My father will soon issue an edict to abolish the eldest brother's position as the crown prince, and then canonize me as the crown prince!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin is not humble anymore, isn't it for this purpose for so many years? Anyway, at this time, modesty is useless. The so-called modesty is for outsiders to see, for history to see, that is to fool future generations, as for yourself here, there is no need to be modest.

As for here, everyone has participated in the mutiny with guns on their shoulders, and maybe they will share the spoils after the mutiny together in the near future. So I have carried a gun together, shared the spoils together, and I already have two of the four irons in life, so what is there to avoid?

"Let's talk about it, how should this waste prince Li Jiancheng be disposed of? Since the father and emperor let the lonely king be in charge of supervising the country, then this matter of disposing of the abolished prince Li Jiancheng will be handled by me, so how do you think it should be handled? You come up with a way, think about it, how to deal with this waste prince Li Jiancheng. Lone is really embarrassed, and I don't know what to do with this Li Jiancheng. It stands to reason that cholera palace is a capital crime, but after all, it is the eldest brother of the lonely king, and I am really ...... It's really ...... I can't bear to do it! Li Shimin said with a "heartbroken" look.
