Chapter 144: The Change of Xuanwu Gate (8)

Seeing that Li Xuan was also thrown off the war horse, all the war horses could not be used. Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche all pulled out their waist knives and rushed towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at them with contempt on his face, and then straddled Xiao Bai's body with a light press, Xiao Bai ran up quickly, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only the dust raised by Xiao Bai after running and the stunned Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche.

The palace disappeared, Li Xuan also disappeared, Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche and they could only return to their original place - the open space outside the Xuanwu Gate, anxiously waiting for the palace to appear again.

In the palace, the left and right Qianniu guards, and the left Xiaowei Sanwei army launched a Qi attack on Wang Yuanji and the five thousand guards of the Qi Palace, and the round shield array suddenly collapsed, and the five thousand guards of the Qi Wangfu were killed and wounded, and the Qi Wang Yuanji rode his horse and galloped wildly in the palace alone, and the general of the left Xiaowei - Qin Qiong chased after him.

An iron tower-like black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Qi Wang Yuanji, Qi Wang Yuanji hurriedly tightened the horse stiff, the war horse suddenly stopped, fixed eyes, the black shadow in front of him was the henchman of Qin King Li Shimin, the right Xiaowei general - Wei Chi Jingde.

As soon as King Yuanji of Qi shook his horse's head, he prepared to flee in other directions. Qin Qiong rushed out from behind him and stabbed Qi Wang Yuanji under his horse with a single shot.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw King Yuanji of Qi being stabbed to death. He knew that he had won, he had successfully killed the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji, and he would have no obstacles on the road to the throne, and he would be the master of the world, the emperor of the entire Tang Empire.

After rejoicing, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, couldn't help but feel at a loss, right? For that position, he killed his own eldest brother and younger brother, and put his father under house arrest and controlled him. Is the price paid in this way too great, he was at a loss, he thought of Li Xuan, and hoped that Li Xuan would solve his doubts.

This reminded him of Li Xuan's safety. Although he believed in Li Xuan's ability very much, Li Xuan could resist the crown prince and the king of Qi tens of thousands of horses with the strength of one person. He gritted his teeth and ordered ruthlessly: "Wei Chi Jingde cut off the heads of the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi, show them to Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche, and let them surrender." ”

"Yes". In accordance with Li Shimin's order, Wei Chi Jingde quickly cut off the heads of the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji, and came to the head of Xuanwu Gate.

The palace appeared again, and Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche saw Yu Chi Jingde at the head of Xuanwu Gate and Li Xuan, who was riding Xiaobai and slowly walking towards them.

Yu Chi Jingde took out the heads of the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji, and shouted loudly: "The prince and the king of Qi have rebelled, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin has killed them." The crown prince and the subordinates of the king of Qi immediately surrendered and waited for the disposal of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

Seeing the heads of the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji, Feng Li, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche were immediately overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and they roared: "His Royal Highness the prince and His Royal Highness the king of Qi have unfortunately died, we must be loyal to His Royal Highness the prince and His Royal Highness the king of Qi, avenge His Royal Highness the prince and His Royal Highness the king of Qi, kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who plotted rebellion, and avenge death with death." ”

The army behind them also responded in a loud voice: "Loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, take revenge, take revenge." ”

Wei Chi Jingde shook his head unbearably, the left and right Qianniu Wei and the left Xiaowei army appeared at the head of Xuanwu Gate at the same time, and at the same time, the left and right Weiwei armies, the left and right Wuwei armies also appeared on both sides of Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche, surrounding them.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also slowly walked to the head of Xuanwu Gate, and looked at Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche coldly.

At this time, Zhang Gongjin, the confidant of Li Shimin, the king of Qin and the general of the right leading army, came to the outside of the Taiji Palace and saw Hou Junji, who was guarding here. As soon as Hou Junji saw Zhang Gongjin, he hurriedly asked, "How?" How's the battle going? ”

Zhang Gongjin said with a smile on his face: "It's done, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has won." The crown prince was built, and the king of Qi, Yuanji, had been killed. ”

Hou Junji was immediately overjoyed and said happily: "This, this is really good." ”

Zhang Gongjin asked, "Your Majesty, are they still inside?" ”

Hou Junji replied: "It's all inside." Is His Royal Highness the King of Qin going to ...... them all?"

As he spoke, Hou Junji waved his hand and made a slashing motion.

Zhang Gongjin hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't mean this. It's just that now that the crown prince has been built and the king of Qi Yuanji has been killed, their subordinates Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche are still resisting, and I am here to ask for the edict of His Majesty the Tang Emperor, asking him to order Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche to lay down their arms and surrender. ”

After that, Zhang Gongjin pushed open the gate of Taiji Palace and entered Taiji Palace.

In the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan, the left servant shot Pei Lian, the right servant shot Feng Deyi, and the imperial historian Xiao Yu heard outside the Taiji Palace, the shouts and screams had gradually stopped, and they understood that the victory and defeat had been divided, but they didn't know who won the victory? The crown prince, the king of Qi, or the king of Qin? Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu believed that the victory must belong to them, and the last person to arrive here must be Xie Shufang, the general of Jin Wuwei, who knew best the plans of the prince, the king of Qi, and the king of Qin, and also had the most careful plans, and they had full confidence in their victory. When the gate of Taiji Palace opened, they saw Zhang Gongjin, the confidant of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the general of the right leading army, they were stunned, they knew in their hearts that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had won and won, not them, let alone Xie Shufang.

Tang Emperor Li Yuan's body trembled, and he could barely stand steadily, but Wang De, the chief eunuch, grabbed him from behind him, and he could stand still. Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu sat down on the chair with pale faces, unable to speak for a long time, they couldn't understand why it was such a result? Why is this happening? Their plan can be described as perfect, they should be the final victors, how can it be the King of Qin who wins in the end? According to their plan, he King Qin should have been killed by King Yuanji of Qi a long time ago. How could he, King Qin, win in the end?

Zhang Gongjin slowly walked to the front of the Tang Emperor Li Yuan, bowed down and saluted, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the rebellion of the crown prince and the king of Qi has now been killed by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please order Your Majesty to control the situation in the imperial capital by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the twelve guards stationed in the imperial capital Chang'an will be controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, looked at Zhang Gongjin, who was wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist, and was full of murderous aura in front of him, and said helplessly: "The edict is that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, will control the situation in the imperial capital and control the twelve guards stationed in Chang'an. ”

Immediately, there was a draft official to draft the will, and the seal official sealed.

Zhang Gongjin took the holy decree that had just been prepared, and left the Taiji Palace quickly and headed for the Xuanwu Gate.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche said to their subordinates with extremely grief and indignation: "We are deeply favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi, today, the Crown Prince and the King of Qi are martyred, although we have been surrounded and the situation is critical, we should also follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi." Brothers, fight with them. ”

After that, he personally risked his life to lead the soldiers to attack the Xuanwu Gate.

At the head of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, looked at Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche and others with appreciation, and then raised the long lance in his hand high, ready to give the order to attack.

At this moment, a hurried shout came from inside the palace.

"The Divine Decree has arrived! The edict ordered His Royal Highness the King of Qin to control the situation in the imperial capital of Chang'an, and to restrain the twelve guards stationed in Chang'an. ”

The shout came out, and the army led by Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche suddenly stopped attacking, and stood blankly in place, at a loss, and gradually someone put down their weapons, and soon, more and more people put down their weapons, and all those who laid down their weapons bowed in the direction of Taiji Palace and said: "Obey the edict of the Son of Heaven." ”

Feng Li, Xie Shufang, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche saw that the army's morale had been lost and the general trend had gone, so they threw away their weapons helplessly and stood silently in place, waiting for the disposal of Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
