612 Becoming a king and defeating a king

Li Yuan was woken up from a nightmare, and he was severely sleep-deprived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When people are under great mental stress, they always have some strange dreams. Li Yuan dreamed that Xiao Buyi grabbed him, tied him up, and then cut off the flesh on his body with a knife.
The dream was very bloody, and after Li Yuan woke up, he was sweating profusely, and suddenly thought of something, and asked the palace people: "Why haven't the crown prince and the king of Qin come yet?" "Li Yuan knew that Li Jiancheng had arrived in Jingshi, so he had been waiting. Fighting as brothers, fathers and sons in battle, only his own son at the moment makes Li Yuan feel reliable and hopeful. Li Jiancheng had already arrived in Beijing, but he only asked his subordinates to say that there was still something to deal with, and that they would come to see him in a day or two, but now it was obviously past that time.
Li Yuan didn't know why he had an ominous feeling in his heart.
Got up and paced around the hall, looking at the map of Guanzhong hanging on the wall, and groaned for a long time. At present, Guanzhong is at an absolute disadvantage, and he can't think of any better way to fight against Xiao Buyi, who is like a rainbow.
Xiao Buyi was obviously his lifelong enemy, and every time Li Yuan thought of this, he lamented in his heart. This enemy of his life, from the deliberate wooing at the beginning, to the vanity and grievances in the middle, and then to the current poor dagger, every time he is haggard.
Since God asked him to take down Guanzhong, why did he arrange a Xiao cloth for him?
Book from the sky? These two words suddenly surged in Li Yuan's mind, and there was confusion in his eyes.
Looking at the red candle next to the lower hall, which burned half of it, Li Yuan finally couldn't help it, and summoned the palace people: "Go and see, why haven't the prince and the king of Qin come to see the driver?" ”
The palace people didn't wait to retreat, and another palace person came to say: "Qi Qi Sheng, Wen Daya is in a hurry to ask to see." ”
Li Yuan was slightly stunned, and Xuan Wen Daya came to see him. Wen Daya has always been responsible for guarding the prince, this time after returning from Baibi with the prince, he worked all the way, contracted the disease, and went back to the house to rest, but for some reason he hurriedly came to see him?
When Wen Daya saw Li Yuan, she was full of panic and said in a low voice: "Qi Qi Sheng, the situation seems to be a little wrong. ”
Li Yuan only thought that he was talking about the general trend of the world, and sighed: "The current situation is indeed not good for us. Xiao Buyi ......"
"I'm not talking about Xiao Buyi, it's that there is something wrong with King Qin and the eldest grandson!" Wen Daya said urgently.
Li Yuan was stunned, "What happened to King Qin and the Eldest Sun Clan?" "The eldest grandson clan is a big family in Guanzhong right now, whether it is in the court or in the gate valve, the influence is not small, otherwise the eldest grandson Wuji would not dare to cooperate with the eldest grandson Wuji to come to Li Yuan to ask for an explanation, for these gate valve clans, Li Yuan himself is helpless, he wants to unify the world, he can't rely on the support of these people, but many times, these gate valve clans take advantage of the support to quietly infiltrate all aspects of Li Tang. Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, any one can not be easily dealt with, Li Yuan can only be generous and courteous to them in an emergency, and even many times, for the arrogance of the gate valve, but turn a blind eye. The eldest grandson is the gate valve he personally pulled, so what's wrong with this?
"They seem to be plotting...... Plot a rebellion! Wen Daya said with difficulty.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled in a flash: "How is it possible?" What are they against? They have no reason. Hearing Wen Daya's whistleblowing, Li Yuan was slightly annoyed. If it weren't for Wen Daya, who was the hero of the first righteousness and had always been loyal to him, just by this sentence, he would probably be pushed out and beheaded.
"I don't know what they're against." Wen Daya hurriedly said: "After the old minister saw the saint, his body was not right, and he returned to recuperate for a few days, but he didn't expect to be dizzy in Beiya, so he could only rest for a while." But I overheard Zhonglang report Lu Shiheng secretly, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji asked him to move the camera, and then he and King Qin entered the Xuanwu Gate with close guards. He didn't understand the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji, and always felt that something was wrong, so he came to tell me. When the old minister heard it, he always felt that there was something here, so he hurriedly came to report it. ”
Li Yuan had already frowned, it turned out that Tang Chengsui system, Xijing's defense was similar to that of the Eastern Capital. Although the inner city is heavily guarded, it is also divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The land of the outer court is in the south, and the inner court is in the north. The gates in the northern part of the imperial city are of great importance to the safety of the inner court, and the Xuanwu Gate is even more important. Therefore, in order to prevent rebellion, Li Yuan set up two corridors outside the Xuanwu Gate, called Beiya. Many of the elite soldiers and palace guards of the guard house were guarding in the north to make an emergency. Relatively speaking, after entering the inner court through the Xuanwu Gate, the precautions were not as good as before. If the Xuanwu Gate is controlled by thieves, he will basically be able to control the inner court very quickly, that is, it will directly threaten his Li Yuan's safety, if what Wen Daya said is true, the intention of the eldest grandson Wuji can be said to be extremely suspicious.
Li Yuan was originally a scheming person, although he was already suspicious, but he was still unbelievable after all.
Because there is a cause and effect in the matter, he really can't think of why Li Shimin and the eldest grandson want to oppose him!
Thinking of something suddenly, Li Yuan asked, "Is Shimin still Shimin?" He asked strangely, Wen Daya was slightly stunned, and hesitated: "Of course it's King Qin, otherwise who can easily bring people into the inner court?" ”
Li Yuan immediately said: "Order the master of the guard to hide behind the palace, and take the cup as an order!" ”
Wen Daya immediately obeyed the order to do it, and for a while, Li Yuan's heart was pounding, his hand was on the table, and his face was cloudy. After the work of Zhuxiang again, a palace person came in and said: "Sun Heng'an, the assistant chief of the King of Qin, asks to see the saint. ”
Li Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Xuan them are here." ”
When Li Shimin entered the hall, his armor was neat and he was wearing a sword, Li Yuan saw it, and his heart sank, because he saw a rare resolute spirit on Li Shimin's face, and the face of the eldest grandson Hengan also represented that something big had happened.
What's going on?
There is no doubt that the people of the world are still the people. Li Yuan knew that Li Xuanba could disguise himself, but although he was old, he was never old and dizzy, and he was extremely familiar with Li Shimin, so he knew that the person in front of him was still his son at a glance.
But why are the people of the world full of murderous energy? What are they going to do? Li Yuan finally discovered many things that he couldn't control.
"Shimin, you've worked hard all the way. I don't know what is going on to see me? Li Yuan asked slowly.
Li Shimin's first sentence was shocking, like a thunderbolt ringing in Li Yuan's ears, "Big brother is dead." ”
Li Yuan was extremely calm, and after hearing this, Huo Ran stood up and said in a lost voice: "What did you say?" ”
"I said that the eldest brother is dead!" Li Shimin said word for word.
Li Yuan's body shook twice, his mind was blank for a while, he held on to the table, and muttered: "Jiancheng is dead...... I don't know how long it took, and then he asked with difficulty: "Who killed Jiancheng?" "He has worked hard all his life, only thinking about dominating the world, thousands of generations, and inheriting the great unification forever, Li Jiancheng pinned his hopes, how could he die like this?
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's the eldest brother killed by Yuan Ji!" ”
Li Yuan slowly sat down and asked, "What about Yuan Ji, why don't you come?" ”
"Yuanji killed the eldest brother and was killed by me." Li Shimin said.
Li Yuan was silent, Li Shimin also remained silent, the eldest grandson Hengan originally felt that Li Shimin was too direct and not tactful enough, but after thinking about it, the most important thing is to make a decision immediately, Li Shimin got straight to the point, it depends on Li Yuan's reaction.
Li Yuan didn't react.
He just sat behind the table, looking blank.
I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "Father, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”
"You killed it, didn't you?" Li Yuan asked suddenly.
Li Shimin was shocked in his heart, and he had nothing to say for a while. He didn't know how Li Yuan knew this, could it be that if the news leaked, wouldn't he have thrown himself into the net?
"It's your big brother after all...... Biological big brother. Li Yuan finally burst into tears and said in a mournful voice: "You said that when you talked about the death of Jiancheng, there was no pain at all, if the death of Jiancheng was not your reason, I really couldn't think of any other explanation." Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Yuan said bitterly: "Why don't you reply to me?" Seeing that Li Shimin was already panicked, he slapped the table angrily and said, "Say, why!" ”
Li Shimin had already made up his mind and was ready to take power himself, and then talk about other things, because he had already decided that he was not Li Yuan's son, and of course he did not feel guilty about doing all this. It can be seen that Li Yuan is sad and indignant, and there is panic in his heart, and he exclaims: "You ask me why, then let me ask you, why did Li Yuanji provoke me three or four times, but you were indifferent?" Why is the capital full of rumors that I am not your son, and you don't prohibit it? Why are they all your sons, and you favor one over the other? Why is the eldest grandson Wujian in the world, and his whereabouts are still unknown? Why did Li Yuanji poison Xuanba? Why are meritorious people always suspicious? Why until now, you still lied to me and said that I was your son?! ”
Li Shimin was furious, and he suddenly attacked, which was earth-shattering. After Li Yuan heard this, his eyes were pitch black, he had guessed some things, he came back to his senses, his eyes were full of sadness, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Shimin, who said that you are not my son?" ”
Li Shimin sneered: "Are you still going to lie to me now?" Who said that, don't you know? ”
Li Yuan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I see, I understand, I finally understand!" ”
"What do you understand?" Li Shimin was confused, as for forcing Li Yuan to abdicate, for some reason, it was very weak. In fact, he didn't want to force the palace, and he wanted to see Li Yuan not only because of the eldest grandson's sake, but also because he wanted to ask for an explanation for himself. What if he can sit in Li Yuan's position now? Li Shimin thought that it was difficult to resist the southward movement of the Western Liang army, in this case, what was the use of him as an emperor?
Li Yuan laughed sadly, "It turns out that it's all retribution!" As soon as he stretched out his hand, the table teacup had fallen to the ground, and Wen Daya, the queen of the palace, rushed out after listening to the order, and surrounded Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Heng'an.
The eldest grandson Hengan's face changed slightly, and he secretly complained bitterly. It turned out that they had always supported Li Shimin, and when they saw that Li Shimin's sword was poisonous, they poisoned Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in succession, so they always thought that Li Shimin had already had murderous intentions, and they made a decisive decision to let Li Shimin take power, otherwise the crime of killing the prince would be enough to make everyone beheaded. The eldest grandson also has manpower in the inner court, and the eldest grandson Wuji summoned a hundred people as quickly as possible, although it was not sufficient, but of course Li Yuan was negligent in guarding against Li Shimin, so the eldest grandson Hengan and Li Shimin went straight to see Li Yuan. Originally, according to the meaning of the eldest grandson Hengan, Li Shimin should have made a decision and controlled Li Yuan before saying anything else, but Li Shimin was in a mood and only cared about reasoning, but he was besieged by the guards in an instant. Looking at the manpower here, Li Yuan was obviously prepared, not only could the big event not be possible, but he was afraid that the eldest grandson's family would be uprooted.
Li Shimin pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, but he was not afraid, he glared at Li Yuan angrily, his eyes breathed fire: "I have done my best for you, you treat me like this?" ”
Li Yuan said: "Huangmen squire, lead people to retreat." ”
Li Shimin was stunned, and Wen Daya almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked, "Holy Lord, what did you say?" ”
"I said you should take someone to retreat!" Li Yuan shouted angrily. As an emperor, when he rarely lost his temper like this, Wen Daya saw that Li Yuan was furious, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only lead his troops to retreat. Li Yuan walked out from behind the table, slowly walked in front of Li Shimin, and said, "I want to kill the two of you, I have already killed you." ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but admit that what Li Yuan said was the truth, and the eldest grandson Hengan's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what Li Yuan thought.
Li Yuan drew his sword, the long sword was like water, with a cold air.
The eldest grandson Hengan took a step back, Li Shimin did not retreat, and looked at Li Yuan awe-inspiringly.
Li Yuan reversed the hilt of the sword, handed the sword over, and mourned: "Shimin, my father knows that you have been deeply poisoned by that beast of Xuanba, and it is difficult for you to believe anything. But if you do not believe that it is my son, take up this sword and stab it to death for your father. His voice was choked, his true feelings were revealed, and the grief-stricken look on his face moved Li Shimin.
"Why don't you take the sword, why don't you stab?" Li Yuan asked.
Li Shimin trembled and did not go to pick up the sword. But Li Yuan's trick was like a slap in the face, which made him wake up and snort: "Dad, is it ...... Is what Xuanba said false? He has always been moved by Li Xuanba's sadness, and he was full of worries on the way back, thinking about everything over the years, and believing what Li Xuanba said. In addition, after arriving in Xijing, he was angered by Li Yuanji in every way, and he had long been bent on believing that he was not Li Yuan's son, so he didn't have any sadness about Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's death, but seeing Li Yuan treating him like this, and even putting his life in his hands, how could he still doubt his identity?
At that moment, he only felt that the sky had fallen, and he was extremely remorseful! He's made a big mistake!
Li Shimin wants to die!
"Injustice!" Li Yuan stretched out his hand and threw his sword on the ground, two lines of clear tears flowed down, and said sadly: "Sure enough, it was this beast who provoked the relationship between you and me!" He's dead and going against me! ”
"Xuanba, he's dead?" Li Shimin lost his voice.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Of course he is dead, if he doesn't die, how can I relax my vigilance and make the mistake I make today?" I wish I had fallen to his death back then! Shimin, how did Jiancheng die? He's your own brother! Li Yuan was grief-stricken and burst into tears.
Although Li Shimin understood a little, the eldest grandson Hengan was still in a fog, and he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he knew that he had done something wrong, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart. Although Li Yuan didn't look at him squarely, he was already like a thorn in his back.
Li Shimin felt that the world was subverted, and his heart was in turmoil, knowing that he had fallen into a great conspiracy, but he was unable to find out the truth. Listening to Li Yuan's inquiry, he finally told the truth everything that happened in Xijing, but he didn't say anything about the Changsun clan's killing of Li Yuanji's subordinates. Li Yuan glanced at the eldest grandson Hengan at this time, and the eldest grandson Hengan's face was as usual, but his heart was abrupt.
Li Shimin believed that he had been deceived, he had long been remorseful, disheartened as death, and saw Li Yuan looking at the eldest grandson Heng'an, for some reason, his heart had a moment of calm, and said: "Father, it turns out that everything is the child's fault. At this point, the child is willing to bear all the blame. ”
Li Yuan couldn't help but shed tears again, "Shimin, you are just being used by annihilators, what do these things have to do with you?" Dad was originally your three sons who could become great things, but Jiancheng is dead, and Yuanji is dead, how can I bear to treat you? He was in tears, and Li Shimin was also in tears, shouting: "Father, it is the son who is ignorant, and he has fallen for Li Xuanba's dog thief's plan, and the child is not filial!" While crying, he told Li Xuanba about saving him twice, and said regretfully: "How could the child have thought that he was so scheming and saved me twice, just to use me." ”
Li Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "This beast has been calculating me for a long time!" I was soft-hearted for a while, and the kindness of a woman was to kill him so late, which can be said to be the biggest mistake in my life! No need to ask, Xiao Buyi of Taihang Mountain must have been this animal pretending! Shimin, in the story that Li Xuanba, the beast said to you, what he said before was correct, but in the end, the facts changed. In fact, your mother gave birth to you, and Yuwenqing's slut gave birth to Li Xuanba, Li Xuanba confused right and wrong, saying that you were all born to Yuwenqing, just to trick you into being fooled, speaking of which, it is still your father's fault! ”
Li Shimin was stunned, recalling the past, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Seeing that Li Yuan was full of remorse, he didn't dare to ask the truth.
"No, this beast still has helpers." Li Yuan is old and spicy, he already knows everything, and he immediately thought of doubts, and said hatefully: "There are many things that he must not be able to do alone, and they must be doing it if they are built and Yuan Ji died in vain." Yellow Gate Squire! ”
"The minister is here." Although Wen Daya said that she retreated, she still cared about Li Yuan and was not far away. Listening to Li Yuan's instructions, he stepped forward quickly.
Li Yuan's face was still sad, but his eyes were already burning with rage, "Shimin, the people who followed you to rebel must have the remnants of Li Xuanba." ”
Li Shimin was dumbfounded, and Li Yuan had already asked the eldest grandson Hengan about the situation. The eldest grandson Hengan saw that Li Shiming's cooking intentions changed very quickly, and Li Yuan was able to forgive Li Shimin, knowing that he should atone for his sins now, and immediately told the eldest grandson Wuji's movements.
Li Shimin pleaded: "Father, they are doing all this for me, I just ask you to forgive them." ”
Li Yuan snorted coldly and didn't say anything, the eldest grandson Heng was worried in peace, but he was already in a dilemma. Only then did he realize that compared to the sophistication and far-reaching of the eldest grandson Shunde, he and Wuji were really much more immature, and now the eldest grandson's family was like a sword hanging over his head, and it was really difficult to choose where to go.
Thinking of his uncle's eldest grandson Shunde, the eldest grandson Hengan suddenly thought of something and lowered his head.
The eldest grandson Wuji rushed to the outside of the hall with all the guards, and the guards guarding the hall were like a great enemy, and the men of the eldest grandson Wuji confronted each other. At this moment, Huo Di in the palace rushed out hundreds of guards and besieged the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and the eldest grandson Wuji was shocked and secretly screamed badly. Li Mengwei said aside: "Oops, I'm just afraid that the news will leak." Mr. Changsun, you should capture the thief and capture the king in a while, so as to prevent the whole army from being wiped out. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was confused, and nodded slightly, but suddenly there were doubts in his heart. This Li Mengwei has followed him for many years, and he has not performed too well before, how can he be so calm in such a situation? Without waiting to think about it, I saw Li Yuan, Li Shimin and my brother walking side by side, the eldest grandson Wujirao was very wise, and he didn't know what happened for a while.
When the eldest grandson Hengan saw Li Yuan coming, he shouted: "Wuji, the saint is wise, I will not be held accountable for our responsibilities, quickly put down the blade and be captured." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's heart trembled, and he secretly wondered how this could have happened? This kind of rebellion is a capital crime, and if you are caught, you will really be slaughtered!
"Mowgli, a thousand mistakes, it's all my fault, if you really help me, stop it quickly." Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Wuji hesitated, and was about to step forward, but was pulled by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's eyes were like lightning, falling on the eldest grandson Wuji, and said slowly: "Wuji, I saw you grow up, and I know the cause and effect of this incident, and you ordered people to give up resistance, and I am not to blame for the past." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was hesitating, and Li Mengwei said in a low voice: "So far, I can only fight to the death." Hearing Li Meng's bewitchment, the eldest grandson Wuji moved in his heart, nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly how it should be." He drew his sword in his hand, Li Shimin was startled, and shouted: "Mowgli, don't make mistakes!" The eldest grandson Wuji shouted loudly, and slashed at Li Mengwei with a sword!
Even if this sword slashed at Li Yuan, it would not surprise everyone so much. But the eldest grandson Wuji slashed at Li Mengwei, and no one knew the reason!
This sword is extremely abrupt and sharp, seeing that Li Mengyan is about to be split in half, I didn't expect Li Mengyan to retreat suddenly, draw the sword in his hand, and stab out with a backhand sword, if the sword of the eldest grandson Wuji is unexpected, Li Mengwei's sword is even more weird. The eldest grandson Wuji shouted, only to feel that this sword stabbed him, and he could not avoid it, and at the moment of crisis, a harrier turned over and retreated, and blood dripped in midair.
After the eldest grandson Wuji landed, he stumbled, and it turned out that he had been stabbed in the thigh by Li Mengwei with a sword, and everyone was shocked. You must know that although the eldest grandson Wuji is not a top master, he is also excellent in martial arts, and it is really unimaginable that he was stabbed by an ordinary Li Mengwei with a sword.
"You're not Li Mengwei, who are you?" The eldest grandson Wuji shouted sharply.
Wen Daya saw the eldest grandson Wuji rushing out, and ordered the soldiers to surround the rebellious guards. The guards who followed the eldest grandson Wuji to come to the army had already turned pale and didn't know what to do.
Li Mengxi didn't kill the eldest grandson Wuji with a sword, and seeing that there were guards all around, he sighed and said, "Eldest grandson Wuji, how did you find my flaws?" When Li Mengwei spoke, he changed his low voice, and his expression had become arrogant.
"You are too urgent, and you are different from the previous Li Mengwei." The eldest grandson Wuji endured the pain and said: "It turns out that you pretended to be injured by the King of Qi, but you are just covering up people's eyes. You...... Who is it? When he asked, he already had an answer in his mind, but the answer was somewhat absurd, because he was not sure of it.
Li Yuan listened to what Li Mengwei said from a distance, and said hatefully: "Li Xiaogong, it's really you!" ”
Li Mengwei smiled slightly, "Holy Lord, you finally recognized me." ”
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that Li Mengwei was dressed up as Li Xiaogong, but Li Xiaogong died early?
Li Yuan's face was as heavy as ice, and his eyes showed bitter hatred, "You and Li Xuanba have been embarrassed, I think good people don't live long, and people live for a hundred years, you have persisted for so long, how could you suddenly die?" Sure enough, you deceived me by cheating on death! ”
"If it is really as the saint said, then the saint will probably live to be a hundred years old." Li Xiaogong said lightly.
Everyone was disgraced, and they couldn't imagine that Li Xiaogong, who had always been valued by Li Yuan, would dare to despise the saint so much.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Li Xiaogong, I don't know how long I can live, but I know that you will definitely not survive today." ”
The rebellious soldiers obediently put their blades down and retreated to the side under the watchful eye of the guards of the inner court. Li Xiaogong ignored those guards, was surrounded by everyone, his face was fearless, and he said lightly: "Since I am here, I have no intention of going out alive." ”
"Li Xiaogong, you are still using conspiracies to harm me, but I am afraid that I didn't expect that Li Xuanba would have been waiting for you in the underworld for a long time." Li Yuan said.
Li Xiaogong suddenly had tears in his eyes, but he could still smile: "Of course I already knew that Xuanba was dead. ”
Li Yuan was stunned, he always thought that Li Xiaogong was acting with Li Xuanba, but he didn't expect Li Xiaogong to know that Li Xuanba was dead, in this case, why did he act like this?
"Actually, just because Xuanba is dead, I want to launch it even more." Li Xiaogong said: "Li Yuan, you secretly killed Xuanba, I just thought that the news was not leaked, but I didn't know that Xuanba and I had already agreed to contact yesterday. Before he arrived, and without any news of him, I already knew that he must have had an accident. Do you remember what you promised Xuanba? ”
Li Yuan's face sank like water, and he did not answer.
Li Xiaogong said: "You promised Xuanba that as long as he kills Dou Jiande again, he will restore his identity and let him personally lead the army and dominate the Central Plains." Is Xuanba demanding? Not at all, but you broke your promise! ”
Li Shimin's face was gloomy, although he had long thought that many things might be secretly planned by Li Xuanba, but when he heard Li Xiaogong say it, he still didn't feel good in his heart.
Li Yuan sneered: "Do you really think I'm stupid? What is Li Xuanba's intentions, I don't know? ”
Li Xiaogong said lightly: "It doesn't matter what intentions you have, but what you promised him didn't do." Do you remember the agreement with Li Xuanba back then? What are the consequences if you don't follow the agreement? ”
Li Yuan's face had changed, he regretted talking to him too much, and shouted: "Kill him!" ”
The guards around had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and when they heard the words, they stepped forward one after another, the spears stabbed vigorously, the big knives flew, Li Xiaogong's martial arts skills were good, resisting the fight in the crowd, fighting alone, and a moment of kung fu was also bloody.
His martial arts are obviously far inferior to Li Xuanba, and he is surrounded by all the guards, and he can no longer fight his way out of the encirclement. But there was still a smile on his face, and he was not afraid, and when he took out the sword, he was still saying: "You and Xuanba agreed, if you break your promise, you will cut off your children and grandchildren, and you will be lonely for life, so far, most of the ...... have been fulfilled" snorted, he had been stabbed in the ribs, and he was drenched in blood, Li Xiaogong didn't care, and still smiled: "I know that Xuanba is dead, and I immediately tied up the eldest grandson Wuji, leading Li Shimin to suspicion." After knowing that Li Shimin had turned around, he threw the jade pendant of the eldest grandson Wujian in front of the alley of Li Yuanji's mansion, and then deliberately let Zheng Rentai pick it up...... Zheng Rentai asked for credit, and he couldn't wait to find Li Shimin. ”
When Zheng Rentai heard this, he was anxious and angry, and rushed over to slash and kill, but he didn't expect Li Xiaogong to backhand a sword that hit him in the throat. Zheng Rentai fell down in disbelief, Li Xiaogong was slashed in the leg again, staggered, and said: "When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were guarding against Li Shimin, where did they think that I was by my side, I secretly shot a poisonous needle and easily shot the two of them, and they died in vain!" Of course, Li Shimin is even more confused! I pretended to pick up the sword to see it, and poisoned the sword, so that the eldest grandson Wuji mistakenly thought that the sword was poisonous, and thought that Li Shimin was murderous and got up early, so in order to protect the master and himself, he had to rebel. What about me...... Of course, you have to push the boat and come with them to kill you. Ha ha! Although Li Xiaogong was trapped, he was very proud, obviously knowing that it would be difficult to escape, and stimulated Li Yuan with words.
The eldest grandson Wuji was ashamed and unspeakable, he boasted of being smart, where did he think that he would be used as a sword by Li Xiaogong! The eldest grandson Hengan was even more sweaty, and he was shocked that Li Xiaogong used strange tricks, making people in it unaware of it.
Li Yuan's eyes were almost bleeding, and Li Shimin was even more angry, eager to break Li Xiaogong's body into ten thousand pieces, "Li Xiaogong, what kind of enmity do I have with you, you want to harm me like this!" He wanted to step forward, but was hugged by Wen Daya. Li Xiaogong is extremely vicious, his martial arts are extraordinary, Wen Daya can't protect the prince, he is already worried, seeing Li Shimin in danger, how can he be willing to let it?
Li Xiaogong laughed and said, "You have no enmity with me, but it's a pity that you are Li Yuan's son." I want Li Yuan to fulfill the oath of cutting off children and grandchildren, so I can only wronged you. Li Yuan, today said...... When you die. Look at my poisonous needle! He shouted, raised his arm, all the guards were shocked, some had quietly retreated, Li Xiaogong waved his long sword, and after cutting one person, he actually flew into the air and jumped in the direction of Li Yuan.
A few people only felt that their bodies were itchy, and when they looked down, they all screamed in horror when they saw a silver needle inserted in their bodies.
Although Li Xiaogong's martial arts are high, after all, he is far inferior to Li Xuanba, and he has been injured many times a long time ago, so this jump has slowed down. When everyone saw that he was going to kill Li Yuan, they all desperately stepped forward to stop him.
Li Xiaogong was shot in mid-air and fell to the ground, only to shout in the air: "Look! He waved his arm sharply, and an extremely imperceptible light shot towards Li Yuan in midair. Li Yuan didn't expect that before Li Xiaogong died, he still thought about killing him, so he hurriedly retreated. The eldest grandson, Heng'an, had already rushed in front of Li Yuan and shouted, "Escort!" He stood in front of Li Yuan, drew his sword and swung it, only to feel that his arm was numb, and his heart was miserable.
The eldest grandson Wuji had seen the power of the poisonous needle, and without hesitation, he swung his sword and slashed at the eldest grandson Hengan.
The eldest grandson Hengan screamed, his arm was cut off, blood spurted wildly, and some people didn't understand what he meant, but the eldest grandson Hengan knew that his brother wanted to save himself, and he would follow the example of a strong man to break his wrist, otherwise he would be poisoned and attack his heart with blood, and he was afraid of dying in an instant.
Li Xiaogong finally did not break out of the encirclement, and as soon as he landed, he was stabbed several times, slashed with a knife, landed on his shoulder blade, and cut off his left arm. Li Xiaogong shouted, exerted his strength, and the long sword flew out, stabbing the person who slashed him to death, but he was exhausted, and in an instant, his right arm was cut off again, and he was caught by the gun, and he did not fall.
Like a bloody man all over his body, Li Xiaogong stared at Li Yuan, and even laughed, and finally said, "Actually...... I think it's more painful for you to live than to die! It's a pity......" Before he finished speaking, someone saw Li Yuan's displeasure and knew that he didn't need to live his mouth, so two shots pierced his heart.
Li Xiaogong's lips moved, but in the end, his head tilted and he was silent. Although Li Xiaogong died, everyone felt his tragedy and their hearts beat wildly.
Li Yuan stretched out his hand and snatched the single knife from the guard's hand, stepped up quickly, and slashed down. He used great force, and he actually cut off Li Xiaogong's head with a knife, and he was angry in his heart, and he slashed at Li Xiaogong's body several times, and for a while, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the guards did not dare to dodge. Li Yuan kept panting, and Li Shimin shouted in shock: "Father! Li Yuan listened to his son's call, and then let go of the single knife, only to feel sore. All the relatives and guards were silent and did not dare to say more.
Li Yuan came back to his senses and said to Wen Daya: "Huangmen Shilang, you immediately send someone to behead all the people who have a relationship with Li Xiaogong." Wen Daya hurriedly gave the order, and was busy for a while. I was afraid that there would be more sinners to assassinate, and I beheaded all the people who followed the eldest grandson Wuji's military advice.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face turned blue, but he didn't say a word. The eldest grandson Hengan's arm was chopped off, and there was no sign of poison for a long time, knowing that most of his life was saved, but how long he could keep it, no one dared to say more. The eldest grandson Wuji had already helped the second brother tie up the broken arm, and the eldest grandson Heng'an's face was pale and he looked at Li Yuan silently.
Li Yuan's mind flickered, and he walked over slowly and said: "The eldest grandson Heng'an has a meritorious escort, and he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and three hundred brocades. He asked with concern: "Heng'an, are you okay?" ”
The eldest grandson brother knelt down and kowtowed: "The saint is as kind to us as a mountain, but we don't know what to do, and we are ashamed. ”
"You are also for the sake of the people." Li Yuan sighed: "This matter is to provoke people, and I can't complain about you." Of course I understand this, so how can I blame you? Okay, you go back and rest, and I'll discuss something with the people. Although his tone was gentle, his face was still very sad, and the death of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji was self-evident to him, but he had not yet fallen, and he could control his emotions.
The eldest grandson brothers glanced at each other, and Shi Li retreated. Li Yuan left Li Shimin behind, and suddenly burst into tears and said: "Shimin, I'm really sorry for your mother, I promised her to take care of your brother, but ...... I really ......" he couldn't continue, crying bitterly. Li Shimin knelt on the ground and said with tears: "The child is not filial, please ask my father to take heavy responsibility." ”
Li Yuan pulled Li Shimin up with tears and said: "Shimin, why did my father work hard to build the country, it was not to pass it on to you." Until now, you are the only one left, because my father knows that you have been plotted by others, how can he blame you? Everything is the fault of the father, and the father regrets the beginning. Feeling a little dizzy, Li Yuan said: "Shimin, the throne of your father will be passed to you sooner or later, you don't let down the hope of being your father." I'm tired, you can go back and rest first. ”
Li Shimin was ashamed, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.
After Li Yuan waited for Li Shimin to retreat, he only felt that the lights around him were dim, and bursts of blood rushed up, at this time, there were already palace people who brought back the corpses of the prince and the king of Qi.
When Li Shimin left the palace, he only felt that the sky was dark and he was physically and mentally weak. I don't want to go back to the Qin Palace, I just walked out along the imperial city, like a lonely ghost.
The national disaster is more urgent, the brothers are in a wall, these things happened to him, and he felt more tired than ever.
He had been tempered by the field, and his heart was as hard as iron. But he was deceived by Li Xuanba, made a mess of Xijing, and even killed his eldest brother and younger brother by mistake, although he was dissatisfied with Li Yuanji for a long time, and he always wanted to teach him a lesson, but after he really killed him, the feeling in his heart was indescribable.
Walking down the root of the wall, I saw the crescent moon at the head, bleak and cold, and the shadows of the trees swaying, like ghosts. Li Shimin was dizzy, and he walked like this for half the night, he was down, and his body was full of blood. Li Shimin unknowingly arrived in front of a mansion and saw the word 'eldest grandson' written on it, and then realized that he had unknowingly come to the eldest grandson's mansion again.
Although it is said that because of the participation of the eldest grandson brothers, things are even more messy, but after listening to what Li Xiaogong said, Li Shimin already knows that the two brothers are also thinking about themselves, and he has no intention of blaming these two people in his heart. secretly thought that the eldest grandson Hengan would break his father's arm, no matter what, he always had to go and see.
Walking to the door of the house, he patted the door for a long time, but no one answered, Li Shimin secretly wondered, there was a big incident in the Sun family, and he would not fall asleep so quickly anyway. He just knocked on the door, and after a long time, someone answered: "Here, who is it?" What are you doing so late? ”
The door of the mansion opened, and an old servant poked his head out, Li Shimin recognized that it was the old housekeeper of the eldest grandson's family, and suddenly thought that the eldest grandson Wuji still didn't know his whereabouts, and he was even more anxious, and just wanted to discuss the matter with the eldest grandson Wuji.
It took the old servant a long time to recognize Li Shimin, and there was something strange on his face. Li Shimin didn't pay attention and asked, "Wuji, I want to see him." If it was in the past, the old servant would have respectfully taken Li Shimin into the house, but at this time, the old servant said: "The third son is asleep." ”
"Which one are you fooling, he can fall asleep at this time?" Li Shimin is not stupid at all.
The old servant was stumbling for a long time, Li Shimin didn't like it in his heart, so he pushed the old servant away and rushed into the house. The house is extremely quiet, like death!
Li Shimin didn't know why, there was uneasiness in his heart, he was very familiar with the eldest grandson's mansion, rushed to the residence of the eldest grandson Wuji, kicked open the door, only to see the darkness in the house, where was there a figure on the bed? When I reached out and touched it, the bed was cold, and it was not a sign of someone turning around at all. suddenly thought of something, Li Shimin's heart was as cold as the bed. Rushing out of the room and grabbing the old servant, Li Shimin shouted: "Where did Wuji go?" ”
"The third son, he hasn't come back." The old servant muttered.
Li Shimin said: "Didn't you just say that he was sleeping? ”
"It's me who is confused." The old servant argued.
Li Shimin kicked the old servant away, rushed out of the door, and shouted: "Wuji, eldest grandson Wuji, you come out!" He shouted bitterly, and gradually faded away, and the old servant wiped a cold sweat, brought the door, and beckoned, "Hurry up!" ”
At this time, a group of people came out of the inner hall, all of them were big bags and small bags, and they were about to go out, and they were all stunned, only to see Li Shimin standing in front of the door with a blue face, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Those people shouted one after another: "King Qin, the third prince let us out of the city, you see the kindness of the past, don't embarrass us." ”
Li Shimin asked in a cold voice: "Wuji is out of the city?" Everyone looked at each other and did not answer, but their expressions were obviously acquiescing. So of course Hengan is also gone? Li Shimin asked again. Everyone remained silent, but in this silence, there was a chill. Li Shimin looked up to the sky and smiled: "Good, good!" Although he smiled, there was an indescribable tragic meaning in his smile, ignoring these family members, turning around and leaving, and everyone left the house one after another as if they had been amnestied.
Li Shimin's heart has condensed like ice.
He never imagined that the eldest grandson Wuji would leave him. He didn't believe it, but the facts were already in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.
The eldest grandson Wuji participated in the military admonition with him, although he was fine, but the eldest grandson was already panicking. In any case, today's military advice is like a thorn, which has been buried between the eldest grandson and Li Tang, he is not in power, and the eldest grandson can only go!
Ruthless and ruthless, but it is an indisputable fact!
When Li Shimin thought of this, he burst out laughing, as if crazy. At this time, two people passed by, saw Li Shimin laughing, thought he was a madman, and one said: "This person is laughing here this night, he is really like a madman." ”
"What is this, what happened in the capital today is even crazier than this." The other answered.
The previous man said: "Yes, who would have thought that King Qin killed the crown prince and the king of Qi, he was really crazy, right?" ”
The muscles on Li Shimin's face twitched, his fists were clenched, and he did not rush forward. The voice in my heart is shouting, am I really crazy? Am I really crazy? I was so crazy that I listened to Li Xuanba's words and killed my own brother. Xuanba has always treated himself like his own brother, and he is grateful and admired him to the ground, but he gave himself the most ruthless knife! In this world, what is family affection? Who can be trusted in this world? Xuanba has always told me that I have great talent and the appearance of a king, but it turns out that I am a liar! My father gave himself a chance many times, but he always doubted his intentions! He has been defeated several times, and his troops have been lost, so what face does he have to lead the army? Right now, even if the eldest grandson Wuji sacrifices himself for his own interests, how will the civil and military officials of Xijing City think of themselves? Although my father forgave me, his sadness is self-evident, how can I forgive myself?
Whose fault is all this?
The head was chaotic, but the words of the two people could always come clearly.
"King Qin is not crazy, it's just that power makes people crazy." A common people's way.
"What do you mean?" Another asked.
"In the past, the capital had already said that the credit of King Qin had always been above the crown prince, so King Qin should be appointed as the crown prince. But how could the prince do it, so their brothers have always been at odds. This time, King Qin rushed to the front and killed the crown prince, just to grab the crown prince's position. ”
"But they're brothers, after all."
"A brother is a fart, when he becomes a prince, he becomes an emperor, he can do whatever he wants, what is it to kill a brother? Who doesn't want to be an emperor, you don't? ”
"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." The man who answered became timid, and the two finally turned the alley and disappeared.
Li Shimin still stood there alone, only to feel that his cheeks were red, bursts of blood surged up, a mouthful, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and it looked very tragic in the bleak moonlight.
But he still didn't move, just stood so dumbly, the moonlight sprinkled, dragging his shadow lonely, so long...... ** When Li Yuantian woke up, he had a splitting headache, he was actually not asleep, but he kept forcing himself to sleep. Only in his sleep can he have less heart-rending pain.
Internal and external troubles, what should he do? He doesn't know!
I don't know how long I thought about it, and then I said tiredly: "Pass ...... The inner secretary is here, and I want to draw up the purpose. Let's also find the King of Qin. "He really can't hold on, he just wants to make his son Shimin the crown prince first, calm the panic in Kyoto, things have to come step by step, he can't fall. Before his words fell, someone from the palace hurriedly arrived: "Holy Lord, the waiter of the Yellow Gate asks to see you." ”
As soon as Li Yuan heard the four words of the Yellow Gate Squire, he had an ominous meaning, and when Wen Daya came in, his face was full of panic, "Holy Lord, the eldest grandson has already left the Jingshi, and I don't know where to go!" ”
Li Yuan Huo Ran stood up, his face had changed, "Eldest Sun Wuji and Eldest Sun Hengan are gone?" He was most afraid of this, so he comforted him with kind words yesterday, where did he think that this eldest grandson brother was only afraid that he would settle accounts after the autumn and run faster than a rabbit.
Wen Daya said worriedly: "It was their brothers who took the lead, I heard that they left the palace yesterday, and immediately notified the eldest grandson's close relatives to withdraw from the capital as quickly as possible, and they didn't know where to go in the middle of the night. ”
Li Yuan sat down slowly, clenched his fists, and said word for word: "If he dares to run, I will dare to kill!" Huangmen Shilang, you give the order to go down...... "I originally wanted to destroy all the eldest grandsons in the capital, but after hesitating for a long time, it was finally difficult to make a decision. You must know that it is easy to kill the eldest grandson clan in the capital, but the eldest grandson clan is scattered in Guanzhong and causes a mutiny of the gate valve, so how can it be good?
Of course, Wen Daya also understood this, and persuaded: "Saint, the eldest grandson Wuji only wants immediate benefits, far less stable than the eldest grandson Shunde, and he is also afraid of the saint's blame when he leaves." ”
"Do you want me to kneel and beg him not to go?" Li Yuan said angrily.
"That's not it, but at the moment Xijing is in chaos, and it should be trying to stabilize the morale of the army. Although a small number of the Changsun clan defected, in order to stabilize the position of the gate lords, it was not suitable for large-scale slaughter. ”
Li Yuan was silent for a long time, nodded slowly, and then someone from the palace hurriedly came in and said, "Holy Lord, the big thing is not good." Li Yuan was already distraught by Xijingzhi's mess, and when he heard the words "big thing", his scalp was numb, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The King of Qin is missing, we searched all over the palace, but we couldn't find the King of Qin!" The palace man said in fear.
Li Yuan's whole body trembled, "What did you say?" ”
"We can't find King Qin, and we have asked everyone to look for it in the capital." The palace man said nervously.
Li Yuan Huoran stood up, his eyes widened, shook a few times, and slowly fell down......** When Xijing was in turmoil, Xiao Buyi had already turned back to the Eastern Capital.
When Li Yuan was made to jump by Li Xuanba's unjust soul, Xiao Buyi was very calm.
After returning from Hedong to Dongdu, he was welcomed and courteous like never before. As the emperor, Yang Tong went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and hundreds of civil and military officials even welcomed him to the Yellow River ferry.
Xiao Buyi led the troops to fight for more than a year, and the results achieved can be said to be brilliant and incomparable. Dongdu not only defeated the Turks, the Turks were slumped, but also hit Liaodong, heavy damage to Yuangai Suwen, to now, the Western Liang army has occupied most of Shanxi, and the Western Liang army has crossed the Yellow River, stormed Longmen, and pointed at Xijing.
The unification of the world is already in sight.
In addition to the gate valve in Guanzhong, the people of the world have been excited, they have been in chaos for too long, and they are also eager to restore the unity of the world and the stability of the people.
When the world was boiling, Xiao Buyi was still very calm, and it could even be said that he was a little gloomy. Sitting in the mansion, he held half a piece of jade in his hand and looked at it over and over.
Pei Bei sat quietly beside Xiao Buyi and watched with him.
Although she knew that she couldn't give any opinions with reference, Pei Bei still liked to accompany Xiao Buyi. accompanied him from birth to death, and accompanied him to be plain.
This is the true lover, the intimate lover.
Xiao Buyi finally put down the half of the jade in his hand, sighed, and said, "I can't see the intention of my father to give me this piece of jade." ”
Pei Bei guessed: "Maybe it's a relic of Lingtang." However, ......" said cautiously: "Li Xuanba is dead, and this piece of jade may no longer matter." ”
Xiao Buyi said: "This thing is very special, more like something after my time." ”
"After your time?" Although Pei Bei has begun to integrate Xiao Buyi's thinking, she still struggles to understand.
Xiao Buyi said: "This jade is not smooth. ”
Pei Bei reached out and touched it, feeling that it was indeed the case, and asked puzzledly, "So what?" ”
"This thing seems more like a ...... to me A circuit. Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "Or, rather, a device." Anyway...... I can't explain it to you, and it's hard for you to understand. ”
Pei Bei said apologetically: "Buyi, I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”
Xiao Buyi laughed, "I'm sorry, I can't explain it to you well, in fact, this kind of thing, it may be worth discussing with the second brother, he is a person in this world who has a more peculiar point of view than me." But he's in Longmen, I'll look for him. ”
Pei Beiyan smiled, "If you want to go to Longmen, I'm afraid you won't go until you ascend the throne." Emperor Tai has taken the initiative to give up the throne, and the hundred officials of the Eastern Capital have asked you to ascend the throne, but you can't refuse. Seeing that Xiao Buyi was a little confused, Pei Bei asked worriedly, "Buyi, don't you like it?" ”
Xiao Buyi muttered, "Ascend the throne? After a while, he said: "I really want to ascend the throne and become the emperor?" ”
"Of course, Emperor Tai has abdicated three times, so you don't have to embarrass him. In this world, if you don't be the emperor, who dares to sit in this position? Pei Bei said softly.
"Maybe when Zhao Kuangyin was in a yellow robe, he was not so polite as me." Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly.
"Who is Zhao Kuangyin?" Pei Bei said curiously.
Xiao Buyi could only shake his head, secretly thinking, how could there be Zhao Kuangyin when he ascended the throne? While he was groaning, Lu Laosan came and said, "King Xiliang, Miss Pei's subordinates, the shadow asks to see." ”
"Please." Xiao Buyi frowned. Li Xuanba committed suicide, Pei Mingcui only begged Xiao Buyi to let her take Li Xuanba's body, but Xiao Buyi did not stop her this time. As soon as Pei Mingcui left, there was no news, I don't know what happened when the shadow was sent at this time?
When the shadow entered the palace, he was still masked, avoiding Xiao Buyi's gaze, handed over a package and said: "King Xiliang, Miss Pei said that she was grateful to you for letting her take ......" hesitated for a moment before saying: "This is what she gave you, say ...... You are now sitting in the world, and you don't care about anything else, maybe this thing, you are still useful. ”
Lu Laosan took the package, got Xiao Buyi to signal, slowly unwrapped the package, and revealed the three things inside.
Xiao Buyi's eyebrows raised, Pei Bei's eyes flashed, and the two glanced at each other, both of them saw each other's surprise. The three things are simple, there are two letters, and the last item is half a piece of jade!
