Chapter 43: The Sledgehammer on the Throne
At the end of 623, the auxiliary prince, who had revolted with Du Fuwei, plotted to rebel! Li Yuanji, as the commander of Huainan, treated his soldiers like slaves, and killed several soldiers in the name of martial arts, almost causing a mutiny in Huainan! With the help of Li Jiancheng, the dissatisfaction of the Huainan soldiers was suppressed by killing! Du Fuwei relied on his previous prestige to persuade the soldiers, but the former brother Fu Gongfu looked down on Li Yuanji at all, thinking that the Li family was using Li Yuanji's hand to clear the old Huainan department in order to achieve the goal of completely controlling Huainan! Sooner or later, they are going to die......
Du Fuwei persuaded the Huainan soldiers with a few words, which made Li Yuan and them very jealous, this Du Fuwei's prestige was too high! After Du Fuwei left, under the pretense of Du Fuwei's order, the auxiliary prince instigated the Huainan soldiers to finally drive the Tang army guards desperately to protect the seriously injured Li Yuanji out of Huainan in the middle of the year!
Li Yuan didn't know the inside story of Huainan's rebellion, but he went to Du Fuwei once and rebelled when he came back, doesn't this mean that Du Fuwei instigated! conceited that he was the emperor and Li Yuanba's father, Li Yuan ordered to go to Li Yuanba's mansion to arrest Du Fuwei, regardless of life and death, and had no wife or son!
Who will take such an order? It's a conundrum! The civil and military generals below, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come forward!
"Huh? Didn't anyone dare to take the order to arrest Duvowe! Who took the initiative to ask for help? Do you have to name me or I personally lead the troops to arrest the thieves?! As soon as Li Yuan's words came out, he basically named Du Fuwei as a thief, and righteousness took the lead!
"Father, son-in-law, please arrest the thief Du Fuwei!" The righteous and awe-inspiring voice comes from Li Shimin, the king of Qin!
Li Shimin, who was overjoyed by Li Yuan, said to the opposing subordinates: "Actually, I have considered this matter!" This time, I am standing on the righteousness, whether this thing succeeds or not, I will only have good and no harm! If my third brother does not prevent us from arresting Du Fuwei, I will do a great job, and he will be laughed at by the whole world; If he comes forward, I will immediately go back to the palace to plead guilty, and my father will never blame me, only anger him! And the people of the world will also disrespect him, and use force to shield the anti-thief and scold him in unison, so I took the initiative to ask for help! This remark was unanimously recognized by his subordinates, and Li Shimin waved his big hand in a rage: "All the soldiers obey the order, follow me to arrest the thief Du Fuwei, dare to resist, and kill on the spot!" ”
But as soon as Li Shimin and his people left the house, they were blocked at the door of his house by Li Yuanba, who was almost crazy! Li Yuanba put down the sledgehammer without saying a word, stepped forward to break Li Shimin's legs, kicked and smashed a few ribs, and made him faint to death in the arms of the soldiers who followed behind! The fierce god went straight to the palace without looking back!
The current Li Yuanba can be said to be full of talents, Li Daoxuan and they rely on Li Yuanba's name to wantonly recruit his subordinates in the world, so that Li Yuanba can know any news he wants without going out. On the contrary, the news that is unfavorable to Li Yuanba has been reported to Li Yuanba by others! After Li Shimin received the order, there was his eyeliner in the palace hall, and Li Yuan wanted to send someone to kill his father-in-law, without taking into account Li Yuanba, and even owed advance notice! And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to accept the order, so his good second brother dared to come forward!
Du Fuwei also heard the news, and took his wife and Du Qing to kneel down to his son-in-law and state his wrongs: "Yuanba, the old man's only daughter is married to you, after Lingyue's death, the old man was disheartened and left the great forces he had laid down back then to retire here, did the old man ever complain about your Li family?" How did your brother treat my old department, and did I ever say half a sentence about your Li family? The old man personally went back to Huainan to persuade the old department, all in full view, and after calming down, the old man avoided suspicion and rushed back non-stop, so he could meet the rebellious brother in private? Now that the emperor wants to kill me, I haven't wanted to resist, but my wife and children are also implicated, and the old man is really unwilling! I want to bring them here now to ask you to keep my wife and children safe for Lingyue's sake, and the old man is willing to be arrested and disposed of by your Li family! ”
Li Yuanba was at a loss to help his father-in-law and mother-in-law and Du Qing up, and his mother-in-law Shan Yunying's long-standing resentment also broke out, and without waiting for Li Yuanba to help her, she stood up and pointed at Li Yuanba and scolded: "You ungrateful dogs!" My poor daughter has never complained since she married into your family! The bleak wedding and the attitude of your family, I knew that our Du family was finished! Was your father-in-law's power ever weaker than your Li family? Now condemn my Du family for rebellion, this is not a big joke! Your Li family's power is so huge, how can you not protect my unjustly killed Lingyue! Look at you, this wretch! Is the world invincible, and everyone is afraid? I see you as a wretched, pathetic, hateful, damned coward! Now who can't see that you are in the Li family is a thorn in the eye and a nail in the flesh! In the past, your invincible force could help them, but now that the world is about to be unified, what use do you have for them! If you are invincible for a lifetime, you are just a fool who is used by others! Husband, he can't protect himself now, and you still expect him to protect us? Let's go, let's kill back to Huainan, even if we die, we will add to the blockage of their Li family! ”
Du Qing looked at Li Yuanba with tears in her eyes, didn't say a word, and only repeatedly pulled the broken splendid handkerchief......
Shan Yunying's words were filled with a trace of uncontrollable true qi, and the people in the entire mansion could hear them clearly! Before they could wake up from these words, they shouted angrily and deafeningly!
"Ah~~~~~~~~h My mother-in-law is right, but they are my family, and I don't even dare to think about some ideas! But don't worry, whoever dares to hurt you in the world, I won't let anyone go! Wait a minute, I'll come when I go! ”
It is said that you can do whatever you want, and you can kill decisively! But who can bear the sin of killing his father and killing his brother? Although there are many things like this for the great talents who fight for the throne, but if Li Yuanba is not forced to a certain extent, Li Yuanba can't even think about it! Although he wanted to kill Li Shimin on the throne, why did Li Yuanba give Li Shimin so much time? There was still a glimmer of hope in his subconscious, and it seemed that this hope was very slim...... Killing one's father and brother is not as simple as imagined!
Li Yuanba restrained his anger and killed Li Shimin, knocked Li Shimin unconscious, and rushed to the palace! From afar, I saw the sledgehammer with the surname, the palace gatekeeper and the patrol. They all gave way to the passage as fast as they could, and the people who didn't have time to react were all smashed into pieces!
Li Yuan and the ministers were waiting for Li Shimin's news in the main hall, and the ministers below were talking one after another, converging into a wave of unease, suspicion and rejoicing, constantly beating the ears of those present, and everyone's hearts were beating violently in such a depressing atmosphere!
Li Yuan was tormented by impatience, remorse and restlessness, but he still used all his strength to suppress his performance, making it look like he was waiting for something calmly......
Impatient, Li Yuan desperately wanted to kill Du Fuwei quickly! Remorse, I really shouldn't have let my favorite son kill Du Fuwei! What is disturbing is that the reaction of the third son!
Li Yuanba rushed to the main entrance of the main hall, and smashed the main entrance as he stopped the air behind him. The main hall across the long square in the field of vision is like that that makes Li Yuanba want to smash it to hell with a hammer!
Recovering from his frantic mood, Li Yuanba raised a sledgehammer......
Du Fuwei's old teenage hair hung down on his shoulders, and his depressed tone made people feel a sense of twilight: "Yun Ying, your words are ...... over."
Shan Yunying was silent for a while, and said with a hint of regret: "I just can't get used to their Li family's style!" It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, is this emperor so selfish and ruthless? Why can't they even tolerate their own sons! ”
"Hey! When I revolted, I was forced to do so! But when I became powerful, and I couldn't even let my daughter marry the person I liked, I realized that power was terrible! At that time, I thought that if my power developed to the point where I could ignore everything, I would be able to let my daughter find her own happiness! When this child came strongly, I knew that when my power arrived, my daughter's happiness would have been lost long ago! The ** of people is endless, if I sit on the emperor, when I find that there is a power around me that is completely not in my hands, no matter what this power is, I will try to eliminate it, if I can't eliminate it, I will do everything possible to keep this power away from my own power, until this power is not felt, I will rest assured! It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but this is not absolute, especially for those in high positions......"
Du Qing raised his head worriedly and asked, "Father, did you say that Yuanba would kill his brother and father?" This is the wrath of man and God! It would be nice if Yuan Ba was born in an ordinary family......"
Du Fuwei stroked his daughter's head and said, "Qing'er, even if he was born in an ordinary family, the force he feared in the world at that time doomed him to a bumpy fate!" The tiger is not harmful, but don't people have the intention to kill the tiger? ”
"This time, it's up to God to let me bear the sin of killing my father! If you don't die, I hope you can understand my determination! After Li Yuanba finished speaking, the sledgehammer came out of his hand and smashed straight into the center of the hall, rushing away!
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Li Yuan, who seemed to be calm, was pushed away from the throne by the eunuchs beside him, and a violent scream accompanied by the snapping sound of the main entrance of the main hall being broken by a huge force filled everyone's ears in the hall!
Qi looked at the throne, there was a sledgehammer standing on the intact throne, and the corpse of a eunuch with blurred flesh and blood underneath! Li Yuan, who was sitting next to the throne, barely spit out three words with a pale face and purple trembling lips: "Why ......"
After saying these three words, the sledgehammer completely penetrated most of the throne and plunged into the ground three feet! The purple sledgehammer exudes the owner's imminent madness, as if to say: "There is no next ......"
