East Palace, Prince's Mansion. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Du He had already followed behind Li Shimin and came to the gate of the East Palace.

Looking at the plaque with the words East Palace hanging high, he knew that this was the Longtan Tiger's Den. A brute who lost his mind for power, completely insympathetic to a rebel son with his father's good intentions, plans to stage a drama of forcing the palace in this.

Li Shimin stood at the gate of the palace for a moment, sighed with a complicated expression, and then stepped into it firmly.

Du He and Li Chengqian have a deep prejudice, and he has only been to the prince's residence once over the years.

At that time, he came and went, and did not pay attention to the scenery around him. For the grass and trees here, it is extremely unfamiliar. Now he has no impression at all, he patrols left and right, sees the scenery around him, remembers it in his mind, and is ready for emergencies.

Li Chengqian rested in the bedroom, and under the leadership of the maidservant, they walked through the lobby and came to the backyard.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is resting in the house......" The maid pushed open the bedroom and called, but no one answered.

The maid looked strange.

Li Shimin sneered and walked directly into the bedroom, where was there a prince in the bedroom, and there was no one.

Li Shimin looked up at the red beams, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.

As an emperor, he should not come, but as a father, he must come.

It's not that he doesn't know that Li Chengqian wants to force the palace, but he is willing to take a risk, just because he still has a little hope in his heart, he hopes that Li Chengqian can turn back in time, and he hopes that this Li Chengqian can stop in time. As long as Li Chengqian can give up this operation, he can assume that it did not happen, and he can assume that he does not know. Even if Li Chengqian can't be the crown prince, at least he can retain the throne and live without worrying about food and clothing.

Looking at the empty bedroom now, he knew his hopes were dashed.

The sound of footsteps was heard, and more than 200 people rushed into the backyard, blocking the only way out.

Li Shimin quietly wiped away his tears, and from the moment the tears disappeared from his face, he was no longer a father, but the emperor of the Tang Empire, a king.

"Let's go out......" Li Shimin said lightly, his expression was calm, and there was no tear at all.

Li Shimin and Du He walked out of the bedroom, and the ten Qianniuwei who came with Li Shimin stood in front of Li Shimin without hesitation.

More than 200 people had gathered outside the bedroom, all of them dressed in strong armor and armed with sharp blades, and they had a battle-hardened aura on their bodies. The leader is none other than Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian's face is hungry at the moment, his mouth is chapped, and he is standing weakly, almost losing weight.

For this bitter plan, he also put a lot of effort into it. But his eyes were blazing and full of madness.

Li Shimin looked at the son in front of him quietly, with a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he didn't say a word. Having come to this point, Li Chengqian undoubtedly put up the banner of rebellion. It was useless for him to say anything.

"The sons and daughters meet their father......" Li Chengqian pushed away the Helan Chushi who was supporting him, and bowed deeply.

Li Shimin actually had a smile on his face at this moment and said: "I am a little relieved, in your eyes, there is still me, this father." ”

Li Chengqian's face also showed a look of guilt, but then let the power of ** replace him, and shouted with a red face: "All this is forced by the father and the emperor, and the son is the prince, but the father and the emperor do not look at the son, and let an outsider humiliate the son everywhere, the son is unwilling, unwilling, unwilling." He was a little crazy, holding on to the air with one hand, grasping the power that was about to arrive, "Or Hou Junji is right, everything can only rely on himself." Power is earned by oneself, not by others. Father, make an order, you have no way out, and the son implores his father to abdicate and pass the throne to the son. In addition, he ordered Du He to be executed, and Erchen wanted the world to know the fate of going against Erchen...... "It was at this time that he did not forget to kill Du He."

Du He looked at Li Chengqian with pity, he was so stupid that he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand how a person could be so stupid under the temptation of power. He thought that following the example of Li Shimin back then and forcing his father to abdicate, he would be able to become the emperor of the Tang Empire?

Miss by a mile.

The reason why Li Shimin succeeded was because the people of the Tang Dynasty were not united at that time, and Li Shimin's achievements were high, not to mention the expectations of the people, but in terms of military strength, no one was comparable, and no one had the strength to oppose him. What does Li Chengqian have now? There is only Hou Junji, and Hou Junji is a person.

The Tang Dynasty is now monolithic, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will listen to the orders of an emperor who forced his father to abdicate?

As long as Li Shimin gets rid of Li Chengqian's control, with just one sentence, the 12 generals of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Shubao, Li Ji, Wei Chi Jingde, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, Li Shimin's henchmen and veterans, call on hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty to respond, what can Li Chengqian do? And on what basis did he rebel......

Du He was curious and couldn't figure it out. But he knows the reason, because this kind of thing of hitting a stone with an egg is not uncommon in history, and there is only one thing that makes them crazy...... Supreme power.

Du He glanced at Li Chengqian, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you really think you can succeed?" Think about it, this is the palace, there are only two hundred of you, although we are not many in number, but it is more than enough to support the arrival of reinforcements, and when the reinforcements arrive, you will all become traitors, and at that point, nothing can be recovered...... Never too late to mend! ”

He had a bad relationship with Li Chengqian, and he didn't care what happened to Li Chengqian. But he said these words sincerely, because at the moment when there was no one in the house, he saw Li Shimin's tears......

The tears of an emperor, though only one drop.

This was the first time he saw Li Shimin crying, and he sincerely did not want Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to meet each other.

Li Chengqian's eyes were red, and he roared: "I don't need you to pretend, today I will break your body into ten thousand pieces, and I have avenged the revenge of my heart......" He said, and suddenly laughed: "Father, you all underestimate me, two hundred, do you really think that we only have two hundred?" I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, there are thousands of my men and horses all around the East Palace, and Zhongsun Zhi leads them to guard all parts of the East Palace, let us shout and kill the heavens here, with them, it will not alarm anyone...... Haha, since the moment you walked into the East Palace, the victory or defeat has been decided......"

"Zhongsunzhi?" Du He's expression changed drastically: How is it possible, isn't he the person recommended by Wei Zheng, how can there be a problem?

Suddenly, a person's name "Hou Junji" appeared in his brain, it was him, it was Wei Zheng who he used.

What a clever means!

If it is the person recommended by Hou Junji, he will definitely not be able to escape suspicion, but Wei Zheng is different, Wei Zheng is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and no one will doubt the person he recommends.

This is the case with Duhe......

Li Chengqian actually had 1,200 people, and including Li Shimin, there were only 12 of them......
