Chapter 146 Father and son met the Tang Emperor Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How can you be appeased?" ”

Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu replied: "The crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji did not participate in the strategy of raising volunteers against the Sui, nor did they make a particularly great contribution to the Tang Dynasty. They were jealous of His Royal Highness King Qin's great merit and prestige, and together they plotted a plot to kill His Royal Highness King Qin. Now His Royal Highness the King of Qin has denounced and killed them. His Royal Highness the King of Qin has made great efforts to cover the universe and the world is in the heart, if His Majesty can decide to make His Royal Highness the King of Qin the crown prince and entrust him with all the major affairs of the country, there will be no more incidents. ”

Tang Emperor Li Yuan sighed helplessly and said: "Now, it can only be like this, I hope he can be satisfied, and there will be no more right and wrong." ”

After saying this, Li Yuan sighed deeply. Can the position of a prince satisfy his Qin King Li Shimin? If he said it, Li Yuan himself would not believe it. After Li Shimin, the king of Qin, killed the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi, Yuanji, he had to take three steps to come down, the first step was military power, the second step was the power of the prince, and the third step was undoubtedly imperial power. These are the three steps that a usurper must take to the throne. has already asked him to control the twelve guards stationed in the imperial capital Chang'an, and now he wants to give him the power of the prince. Without imperial power, will he give up, will he be satisfied? However, knowing that after Li Shimin, the king of Qin, obtained the power of the prince, he would inevitably ask himself to hand over the imperial power and pass the throne to him. Li Yuan had no choice but to do it now.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was covered with the blood of the prince, walked into the Taiji Palace, he wore a helmet and armor, held a long lance, followed by Qin Qiong, the general of the left Xiaowei, the general of the right Xiaowei, Wei Chi Jingde, the general of the right army, Zhang Gongjin, the general of the left and right Qianniuwei, the general Hou Junji, the general of the left and right Weiwei, and the general of the left and right Wuwei, behind the generals was a team of fully armed soldiers, all of whom had the same solemn expression on their faces, and walked straight towards the Tang Emperor Li Yuan. Like a sharp awl ruthlessly piercing into this quiet and beautiful morning, it also stabbed the Tang Emperor Li Yuan fiercely.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, walked to the face of the earth-colored Tang Emperor Li Yuan, knelt down slowly, and said: "Report to my father, the crown prince and the king of Qi have rebelled, and the sons have led troops to quell the rebellion and put them to death." In order not to disturb his father, the son has already controlled the situation in the entire imperial capital Chang'an. ”

Li Yuan stood up, holding on to the dragon chair, trembling with anger. No matter how deeply the sins of the Qin king Li Shimin and the king of Qi Yuanji are stated, they can't hide the fact that this is an out-and-out coup d'état initiated by Li Shimin, the king of Qin. What is the outline of the monarch and the minister, the love of father and son, and the righteousness of brothers, all disappeared in the shadow of this sword and sword. Suddenly experiencing the double blow of being calculated by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and losing his two sons, Li Yuan really wanted to rush up and kill him, Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

In front of Li Yuan, the faces of the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji appeared. The crown prince is only thirty-eight years old this year, and he is in his prime, and he is looking forward to the day when he ascends the throne with confidence; Qi Wang Yuanji is even younger, just twenty-four years old, and his gorgeous life has just begun. And yet, this very morning, this damned morning, they were killed by their own brother of one of their mothers, and became two stiff corpses, two miserable souls. Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a kind of anger and grief from the heart.

Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu noticed Li Yuan's abnormality.

Feng Deyi loudly exhorted Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was on the verge of losing control: "Please Your Majesty order the world to announce the fact that the crown prince and the king of Qi are plotting against the chaotic government, and appoint His Royal Highness the King of Qin as my prince of the Tang Dynasty, and entrust him with state affairs to stabilize the situation." ”

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, understood the meaning of Feng Deyi's actions. Now that he Qin King Li Shimin has obtained military power and controls the Twelve Guards Army stationed in the imperial capital Chang'an, the imperial capital Chang'an, it is his Qin King Li Shimin who has the final say. He Qin King Li Shimin even dared to kill his own brother, take a step forward, and then kill his father, what is impossible? Tang Emperor Li Yuan calmed down, after all, he had spent most of his life in the life and death field of officialdom, and he was well versed in the rules of the game of power struggle. Now he, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has obtained the right to serve as a soldier and a prince. The imperial power can't be kept if you want to. Now, we can only recognize the concession of current affairs and exchange power for life. He forced himself to suppress the resentment in his chest, picked up a pen, and with a trembling hand, wrote an edict, which officially canonized Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the crown prince, and all domestic affairs, no matter how big or small, were decided by the crown prince.

After that, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan looked coldly at Li Shimin, the King of Qin, and said: "I am old, so I will be honored as the Emperor Taishang, and in the future, the prosperity of my Li family and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will be handed over to you." In this way, he appeared to be disheartened, wanted to Zen, and withdrew from the life and death field of power.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, pretended to excuse himself again and again, and only reluctantly agreed under the repeated pleas of the people behind him.

After that, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, knelt on both sides, hugged the thigh of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and wept bitterly: "Erchen doesn't want to kill the eldest brother and the fourth brother, they want to kill Erchen at the banquet in Kunming." The sons had to do it as a last resort. ”

The unusual behavior of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, surprised Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He secretly said in his heart: "The people of the world should take into account the affection of fathers, sons, and brothers." That's what he wants to say in his heart. Maybe it's not that he always thought that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was going to usurp the throne with all his might, but that the crown prince Jiancheng and the king of Qi Yuanji unscrupulously forced the king of Qin, Li Shimin, to have no way out and forced him onto this bloody and cruel road.

Whatever the case may be. The worst thing happened. Long-held fears and fears have finally turned into a bloody reality. I tried my best, but in the end, I still didn't prevent this cannibalistic tragedy from happening in the Li Tang royal family, or inevitably repeated the mistakes of the former Emperor Wen of Sui...... No, it led to a court turmoil and political disaster that was even more tragic than that of the former Sui and Yang royal families.

Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty felt a splitting headache and felt deep sadness and remorse. Li Yuan had a premonition that the rest of his life was destined to become a broken feather, without any weight and unable to control the direction, so he could only float alone in the trajectory demarcated by his crown prince Li Shimin, like a walking corpse, and finally walked towards the end of his life. The dead crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji were liberated, while his own founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the father of the crown prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji, lost the meaning of life and suffered a lot.
