Chapter 240: Epilogue
Li Yuan really didn't expect that he worked hard to balance the relationship between the two brothers, and even gave half of the court to Li Shimin, but he still couldn't satisfy Li Shimin's ambitions!
Unexpectedly, he still repeated the mistakes of Yang Jian, and even more tragic palace disasters than Yang Sui's royal family!
Why on earth is this happening? Is it because you haven't done a good job as an emperor? Or did the crown prince push King Qin too hard? Or has Li Shimin been planning for a long time?
It's just that these no longer mean anything to Li Yuan at this moment, Xiao Yu on the side finally spoke, and the cold words were like an awl, wantonly stabbing Li Yuan's heart!
"The crown prince and the king of Qi did not contribute to the uprising at the beginning, and at this moment they were jealous of the high achievements of the king of Qin and planned to kill the king of Qin. [Ran^Text^Library] Today, the King of Qin is righteous, and he is punished with tears, which is really a righteous act, and the King of Qin has made great achievements in the world, and the world is in the heart, Your Majesty should really crown the King of Qin as the crown prince! Xiao Yu said.
What Li Yuan wants to hear is this sentence, at least for now, he really wants to hear it, this sentence can only be said from the mouths of his subordinates!
"What Aiqing said is very true." Li Yuan muttered, "This is exactly what I thought!" β
"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to hand over the military power of the world to the King of Qin for moderation!" Wei Chi Jingde knelt down and said respectfully, but the clanging sound of the armor made Li Yuan feel unconsciously frightened, threatening!
As the supreme ruler of Li Tang, how could Li Yuan not know what his son was going to do next? Show the military power, followed by the prince, and then the imperial power!
At this moment, Li Shimin has fully taken over the military power of the Beijing Division and controlled the palace!
It's over, and that's the end of the Xuanwumen Change!
No, it's not over yet! Xu Ziling found that Li Shimin still seemed to be making a major decision, his face was full of struggle and pain, Xu Ziling knew that every time Li Shimin appeared with this expression, something bad would definitely happen next.
"Xu Ziling listens to orders!" Li Shimin's struggling face suddenly turned into a strangeness that Xu Ziling had never seen before, this feeling was ruthless and ruthless!
"Yes." Xu Ziling clenched his fists.
"Hurry up and take the special task force to the prince and the Qi Palace!" Li Shimin said, "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" β
After Xu Ziling heard Li Shimin's words, he trembled, children, they are all a group of children! Xu Ziling is not afraid to go into battle to kill the enemy, but if he wants to let himself wield a butcher's knife and play the role of an executioner to slaughter unarmed children, Xu Ziling can't do it!
Xu Ziling's whole body is now revealing coldness, this feudal king who looks amiable on weekdays, but he has always hidden a ruthless heart in his bones!
But now Li Shimin can't be blamed, Li Shimin must be difficult to make this kind of decision, but no matter how difficult it is, the result is still the result, and Li Shimin's ruthless heart can't be concealed! That's your own nephew! When they were born, you must have hugged and kissed your own nephew!
"The King...... This, a group of children, shouldn't be any threat, right? Xu Ziling prayed to Li Shimin in an extremely small voice, so small that he couldn't hear it.
Li Shimin listened to Xu Ziling's words and smiled, at first he just laughed silently, but gradually the laughter became louder and louder, and tears were already all over his face.
"You weren't born in the emperor's family, you don't know the cruelty of political struggle, you're still too kind after all!" Li Shimin said: "Where is Hou Junji? β
"In! By the King's command! Hou Junji was excited, his face was full of excitement, he succeeded, and in the near future, he will become famous!
"Take the troops to the Crown Prince Qi Palace!"
"King, think twice!" Xu Ziling persuaded again, Xu Ziling only hoped that this would be right to his conscience, but Xu Ziling knew that it was useless!
For the first time, Xu Ziling felt the difference between the feudal emperor's autocratic society and the legal democratic society of later generations, which was a society in which the emperor's personal will controlled life and death!
Li Shimin glanced at the blood-strewn Xuanwu Gate, where the corpses were in disarray, and walked towards the palace with his hands behind his back.
In the huge palace, panicked eunuchs and palace maids can be seen shuttling back and forth everywhere, and in the empty Wude Palace, Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, is bowing his head, his eyes are full of holes, waiting for Li Shimin's arrival.
Is it a lifetime, or a moment, Li Yuan raised his head and found that Li Shimin, who was covered in armor, was already standing in front of him, with determination in his eyes.
The father and son stared at each other blankly, and there were too many indescribable things mixed in their hearts.
A few seconds later, Li Shimin hurriedly knelt down and said, "I've seen Your Majesty!" At this moment, Li Shimin, who has always called "Aya", coldly changed his name.
Strange, Li Yuan has never felt so strange! Terrible, Li Yuan has never felt that his son is so terrible!
Li Yuan waved weakly to Li Shimin, let Li Shimin come to him, stretched out a trembling hand to help Li Shimin's neck, and said: "These days, I was almost mistaken by a traitor, and I committed the "confusion of throwing a tree". β
Many years later, when Li Yuan recalled this sentence, he would definitely feel sincerely disgusted!
After Li Shimin heard Li Yuan's words, he knew that Li Yuan had compromised and compromised his son.
Li Shimin cried bitterly, it was over, and this coup d'Γ©tat was completely over. Maybe most of Li Shimin's cries are false, but there will definitely be his true side!
Li Shimin said goodbye to Li Yuan, walked in the palace with Xu Ziling, and breathed in the quiet atmosphere that had never been seen before.
"I'm not a ruthless person, but I have to kill the children of the eldest brother and the fourth brother!" Li Shimin's sudden words startled Xu Ziling behind him.
"I'm not worried that these dozen or so children will rise up when they grow up, and in such a long time, I am confident that Datang will be built into a peaceful and prosperous world, and they will not succeed." Li Shimin said, "But what I'm worried about is that there will be people with ill intentions who will take advantage of their hatred and make waves under their banner!" β
I had already used this trick when I was against Sui, in order to keep the Tang Dynasty forever, let me do it this wicked man, even if I have a reputation for cruelty, I don't regret it!
Xu Ziling didn't know if this was Li Shimin's excuse, because Xu Ziling couldn't peek into Li Shimin's heart, but Xu Ziling would rather believe that this was not Li Shimin's excuse, but his true thoughts, so Xu Ziling was unwilling to analyze whether this sentence was logical, and it was over, it was over!
This is a game destined to be cruel, so someone is destined to be sacrificed, the struggle for power is like this, within such rules, everyone can't help themselves, not only Li Shimin, but also Xu Ziling!
Maybe Xu Ziling can choose, but once the path to start is chosen, what kind of result will be in the future will be doomed and irreversible!
