Chapter 384: The East Palace Coup

Li Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said to Prince Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't say it again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoLet's stop here, so there's still a chance. ”

Fang Xuanling seemed to have thought of something, knelt down directly at the crown prince Chengqian, and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the old minister begs you, don't say these rebellious words again, you will completely break Your Majesty's heart." ”

The crown prince stalked his neck and said with a face full of resentment: "No, I want to say it." If you hadn't created a precedent for the young generation in the Xuanwumen Change, how could Li Ke, the king of Shu, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, be so restless and jump up and down? ”

Li Shimin's face was flushed with anger, his hands were clenched to his chest, and a mouthful of blood spit out uncontrollably.

Li Xuan and Fang Xuanling hurriedly supported Li Shimin.

They knew that the change in Xuanwumen, although Li Shimin ascended to the throne, was the biggest pain and scar in Li Shimin's heart. But today, it was completely uncovered by the crown prince.

Seeing Li Shimin spitting blood from his mouth, Prince Chengqian suddenly sobered up a lot, and he stood in place and looked at Li Shimin blankly, with concern in his eyes.

Seeing the expression of the crown prince Chengqian, Li Xuan said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lived in the deep palace for a long time because of the excessive pressure, so that he is delirious and his words are rebellious. ”

Saying that, Li Xuan said to the crown prince Chengqian again: "His Royal Highness the prince, the minister knows that you have been depressed in your heart for a long time, and you have said everything you should say and what you shouldn't say today. Your Majesty is very benevolent, and he does not care about you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kneel down and beg for mercy, Your Majesty is your father after all, and he will forgive you. ”

Fang Xuanling also comforted the prince with tears in his eyes and said, "His Royal Highness the prince, quickly admit your mistake to Your Majesty." Don't go any further, don't add mistakes to mistakes. ”

Prince Chengqian looked at Li Xuanling and Fang Xuanling, who were begging for him, and then at Li Shimin's extremely haggard face, his heart softened, and his legs gradually bent down.

Just as the crown prince Chengqian was about to kneel down to Li Shimin, Hou Junji held his head high and poured into the hall with a large army. besieged Li Shimin and others in the middle of the main hall.

Li Shimin's expression was calm, and he asked Hou Junji: "Hou Junji, what do you want to do?" Want to rebel? ”

Hou Junji said arrogantly: "What about rebellion? Now this East Palace is controlled by the army led by the crown prince and me. I'm going to really rebel, what can you do to me? ”

Li Shimin did not pay attention to Hou Junji, but looked at the crown prince Chengqian.

Li Xuan and Fang Xuanling said to Prince Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you be wrong again and again? Your Majesty is your father? ”

Prince Chengqian's heart was sour, and he said to Li Shimin: "Father." Lu Guogong and I did this, and it was also the villain* of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and we didn't want to go this far. We don't want to rebel, we just want to follow the example of the Xuanwumen Revolution and ask our father to take the throne, so that we can kill the villains in the court of Li Tai, the king of Wei. I will ensure the dignity of my father and let him live for the rest of his life. ”

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and said to the crown prince Chengqian: "Your Highness, now is a good opportunity from God." Why don't you do it and keep it. Kill them all. Why do you want to increase hidden dangers and troubles? ”

Prince Chengqian said: "After all, he is my father. ”

Li Shimin looked at Prince Chengqian, his eyes were red, and he said, "You still have a good conscience." ”

And Hou Junji pulled out his sword with a "poof" and ordered in a loud voice: "Kill Li Shimin and achieve great things." ”

The generals behind Hou Junji drew their swords one after another, and under the leadership of Hou Junji, they surrounded Li Shimin and others.

Prince Chengqian was shocked and said, "Duke Luguo, what are you doing here?" Isn't it planned, as long as the father's throne is fine? ”

Hou Junji didn't seem to hear Prince Chengqian's questioning. gradually surrounded Li Shimin and others in a very small circle.

Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji with electric eyes, and said lightly: "Hou Junji, do you really dare to order the left and right Qianniuwei armies to kill Yu Zhen?" I tell you, this Tang Dynasty is the world. Especially since no one in my Datang army dares to do this to me? ”

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and a sense of extreme coldness suddenly flashed in his heart.

Hou Junji looked at the left and right Qianniu guard generals behind him in surprise, and couldn't help but shudder.

Li Shimin showed an unusually indifferent smile and ordered: "Take the crown prince Chengqian, Hou Junji, this chaotic minister and thief, and take it down for me." ”

The left and right thousand bull guards have put their swords in their hands. He reversed the direction and aimed the sharp blade at Hou Junji's chest.

Hou Junji's face gradually stiffened, his eyes widened, he couldn't imagine that his old subordinates, these cronies had all betrayed. He roared angrily: "Ben Jiang and you are both brothers who have exchanged their lives on the battlefield, Ben Jiang has always regarded you as a confidant and cronie, Ben Jiang asked himself if he has never treated you badly, why did you betray Ben General?" ”

The generals were silent.

Li Shimin replied for them: "They are all my generals of the Tang Dynasty, and the person who betrayed them is not them, but you, Hou Junji."

Thirty years ago, you, Hou Junji, traveled the world alone, wanting to find someone to take refuge in service and show off your strengths. No one dares to use you because of your audacity and lack of control. I am the only one who uses you, and I reuse you. I use your strengths, how can I not guard against your shortcomings? Since I formed the Left and Right Qianniuwei Army in the Tang Dynasty, and I have promoted you to enter the Left and Right Qianniuwei Army, I have secretly sent my most trusted generals to your subordinates secretly and one after another, and formed a guard against you. Originally, I thought that I might not be able to use this plan and layout for the rest of my life, but I never expected that it would be really used today, and you Hou Junji would really rebel.

A few days ago, you, Hou Junji, gathered them in the East Palace to plot a rebellion, and I got the news at that time. I could have taken you down right now, but in my heart, I remembered your merits, and remembered that you had suffered a lot of injuries for me, so I wanted to leave you a way to live, hoping that as things developed, you would feel guilty, wake up, and change your mind. Today, I went to this East Palace and persuaded the crown prince Chengqian and you, and I hope that you can turn back and not make any more mistakes. As a result, I am quite satisfied with the prince's performance, but you are obsessed and bent on killing me, you are just * killing you! ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin coughed violently. Li Shimin turned around, staggered towards the outside of the main hall, and said to himself: "Hou Junji, you are doing your own evil (nie), you can't live if you do your own sin." ”

Beyond the main hall is boundless darkness. Prince Chengqian and Hou Junji were controlled by the left and right Qianniuwei armies. (To be continued.) )
