Chapter 608 Go grab it!

Li Yuan walked to the door of the imperial study and pushed the door open, and with the cold wind swept in the sunshine with some warmth in the afternoon. Li Huining looked at the thin old man standing at the door, and suddenly realized that he had never understood him since he was a child. When he was a child, he felt that he was the gentlest and kindest father, and he never got angry even when he pulled his beard. When he grew up, he felt that his father was the most sloppy man in the world, but as the Duke of Tang Guo, he had to bow his head to almost all the courtiers.

Now, she suddenly felt that her father seemed to have been born to be an emperor.

Because he has a heart that only an emperor has.

From the very beginning of this conversation, she changed her address to him from father to you. The resentment and anger contained in this transformation were obvious, but now Li Huining found that she could not be angry with this man. Because no matter what emotions anyone is afraid of, they can't control his thoughts, although he is old, although he is not burly, but the temperament exuded by his body at this time is called self-esteem.

"I don't know what's going on over there at Xuanwu Gate."

Li Yuan said softly.

"You can go check it out."

Li Huining subconsciously replied.

"It's not interesting to think about......"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's nothing more than saying some righteous and awe-inspiring things from the beginning, and the people of the world will naturally try their best to help him say that the justice is reasonable, and then the people here will expose those lies." This somewhat boring cutscene still has to be gone, and it won't be finished in half an hour. Then the face was torn, and the horn was not heard yet...... I think they're still pulling each other's skins. ”

His two sons were still dying in front of him, and he could still say these things so lightly.

Li Huining looked at his back and realized more and more that he had changed from head to toe. This person is by no means his own father, by no means the father who let himself pull his beard when he was a child, and by no means the father who was cautious and even a little humble and flattering in front of Yuwenshu and others.

Li Yuan stood at the door for a while, then suddenly turned back to Li Huining and said, "If you want to go and see, go ahead, Xuanwu Gate I have arranged a heavy army and the people have no chance to succeed." And...... The defenders on the Xuanwu Gate are not forbidden troops at all, they are the elite of Hedong County who I secretly transferred back to Chang'an half a month ago. Most of them are your subordinates back then, Xia Fengchun, Wang Bochao, the two tiger generals, I was also transferred back. Even if you don't want to see their brothers fighting each other, it's good to meet old acquaintances, but after today, I can't say that some people will die. ”

"What about the Forbidden Army?"

Li Huining asked.

"The forbidden army is in Yong'an Palace."

Li Yuan seemed to be tired, and waved his hand a little weakly: "The six armies of the Son of Heaven, 36,000 people, are hidden in the Yong'an Palace that has not yet been repaired. Now there is not a single craftsman in Yong'an Palace, all of them are elite soldiers who are ready to rush out to exterminate the rebels. Not only the forbidden army, but most of the men and horses I transferred from Hedong County were deployed outside the city, and the best way to hide from those officials in the city was not to enter the city, and I estimated that this would have left the people outside the city. ”

"Shimin's performance after returning from the old mansion of Longyou really makes me admire, and he has an innate talent in military affairs, which is not comparable to him even if it is built. It is precisely because of this that I will be entrusted with important tasks, but the young man will command the army with high spirits, but in fact, he will inevitably become arrogant and arrogant. He still has too few things to experience, if it is built and he changes places...... Never act so hastily. One thing Shimin has forgotten all along, that he is facing an emperor, not just a father. ”

Li Yuan turned around and walked back to the study and sat down, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead...... After all, he is your younger brother, and after today, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to see each other again, and it is good to see him for the last time. ”

Li Huining didn't say anything, silently got up and walked outside. When she passed by Li Yuan, she really wanted to grab his clothes, and shouted hoarsely to ask him if it was worth it. But she didn't, didn't even look at Li Yuan and walked out of the imperial study. When she walked to the door, she paused, didn't look back, and asked in a flat voice: "What do you think you ...... Does it hurt? ”

Li Yuan's body stiffened obviously, and the red pen he had just picked up fell on the table with a click. He looked up at his daughter's back, only to find that she hadn't waited for an answer at all. The corners of Li Huining's mouth jumped coldly, and she strode in the direction of Xuanwu Gate. When she got out of the door of the imperial study, she found that the entire Taiji Palace had now become a large barracks. Everywhere there were elite soldiers with solemn faces, forming a phalanx and standing quietly in the open space in front of the palace.

Someone recognized Li Huining, and these former soldiers of the Women's Army suddenly became agitated. I don't know who shouted first by pulling his neck, and the entire Taiji Palace immediately floated in the sky with the same voice.

"General!"

Li Huining was stunned, nodded and didn't dare to look at the excited faces of these old subordinates. She lowered her head and walked quickly in the direction of Xuanwu Gate, and then she ran, she was like a child who was afraid of being punished after doing something wrong, and fled to Xuanwu Gate in embarrassment in the sight of those soldiers. It's just that the faster she runs, the louder the cheers of the soldiers.

"The general goes to the Xuanwu Gate! Brothers, show some spirit! ”

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

These two words sounded like war drums over the Taiji Palace.

Li Huining, who had just ascended the Xuanwu Gate, stiffened violently, and could no longer move forward. She looked back at the elite soldiers behind her in shock and horror, and finally realized why her father wanted her to go to the Xuanwu Sect. Where did he let himself come to see the people for the last time, he clearly let himself come to see the people on the last journey.

These soldiers are all her subordinates, and now seeing her ascend to the Xuanwu Gate must be a great morale boost!

Until now...... The man sitting on the dragon chair was still taking advantage of his child.

……

……

Li Yuan expected one thing wrong, and there was no boring scene in Xuanwumen arguing about who was right and who was wrong, who was on the side of justice, and who was a disobedient villain. Even at this moment, Li Shimin, who knew that he had been calculated, still did not hysterically roar that he was the one who was qualified to sit on that chair. He sat on the jade lion of the night, and the red robe of the Xuanjia was still as stable as a mountain.

It's just that now, hearing the loud shouts of the general in the Taiji Palace, and guessing that the rebels in the Taiji Palace are heavily armed, they have all become uneasy, the soldiers are looking at each other, and some of them are already trembling.

He looked at the man wearing the prince's costume standing in the crowd of generals on the Xuanwu Gate, and the corners of his mouth hooked into an intriguing smile.

Li Yuan expected that it was right, there were indeed many courtiers standing behind Li Shimin, and they who were still preparing to shout righteous words for King Qin, but when they heard the shouts in the Taiji Palace, their faces also changed. None of them were idiots, so they immediately guessed that the emperor had dug a big hole waiting for them to jump into it themselves like idiots. Many of these people are former ministers of the Great Sui, and they have all used the three words Li Lao Yu more than once to ridicule Li Yuan's cowardice and fear.

So even if Li Yuan ascended the throne and became emperor, many of them still didn't have much respect for this emperor in their hearts. But today, they finally discovered that this old lady Li's methods were so iron-blooded, as if a heavy hammer was slammed into their hearts.

Many people's faces changed drastically, and all the words they had just thought of were forgotten outside the clouds.

After Li Shimin led his troops to rush outside the Xuanwu Gate, he did not send anyone to persuade the defenders to open the door, but only asked the elite infantry in the rear to reorganize the siege equipment. He didn't seem to even bother to speak, so straightforward that it made people feel a little rude. Some people even feel that he is not atmospheric enough, how can he not find a high-sounding excuse for himself as a nobleman?

At this time, Li Jiancheng, who had been silent, looked at Li Shimin on the city wall and said, "You are back." ”

This sentence is meaningless, everyone has seen King Qin come back.

"I'm back."

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng on the city wall, slightly displeased. He was not displeased that Li Jiancheng asked a nonsense, but he was unhappy that the other party stood taller than him. Li Jiancheng is on the city wall and he is under the city wall, so he needs to look up at his eldest brother. He doesn't like to look up to others like this, because he feels that he has looked up too much in the first ten years of his life. And he never thought that the man standing on the wall was worthy of his admiration.

It's just the eldest son, and he's just lucky.

"Why did you come back?"

Li Jiancheng asked again.

"I thought about it many times before I went back to Chang'an, how would I answer if you asked me why I came back."

Li Shimin smiled, with a little habitual shyness in his smile.

"If I say that I came here to relieve the suffering of the people of the world, it seems nonsense. If I say that I came for the sake of Qingjun, it seems a little hypocritical and hypocritical. So I was distressed for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think of a few beautiful words that didn't sound so nonsense to deal with you, and then I realized that this distress was really a bit meaningless. ”

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Jiancheng, and said very seriously: "Because I didn't stand on the mountain of morality to look down on you, nor did I stand on the pinnacle of power to suppress you, so even if those words are full of flowers, they are just making people laugh, and they are really boring." ”

He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Big brother! I am back...... I'm going to grab that chair with you! ”

……

……

Li Jiancheng obviously didn't expect Li Shimin's answer to be so direct and straightforward, so that he couldn't say the righteous words that he had thought of after connecting them. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and suddenly found that he was indeed too conformist compared to Li Shimin. Speaking of which, he has always had a ridiculous thought in his head, he always feels that he is a hard shield, and Li Shimin is a sharp knife. What if one day the time comes when two people have to face each other, is it the shield that is shattered by a knife? Or was the knife broken by the shield?

Unexpectedly, what he thought of before had really changed reality, and now it seems that he is hiding behind the shield of Xuanwu Gate, and Li Shimin showed him a blade.

"Shimin!"

Li Jiancheng groaned for a while, cleared his throat and shouted, "You are wrong! I am your eldest brother, and I should be humble to you in all things. But what you want to rob is different, even if I have the heart to give it to your father, I will not agree. Since my father chose me, what I carry on my shoulders is not only the glory of the Li family, but also the future of the Tang Dynasty. It's too serious and important to give it to you. My father once said that only those who are virtuous can live in it...... You led the troops into Chang'an City today, no king, no father, no virtue, don't say that you will not succeed, even if you succeed, the people of the world will definitely spurn you! ”

"Sure enough!"

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand and said: "These beautiful words really sound disgusting, fortunately I didn't say it just now, otherwise wouldn't I be disgusted twice?" Let's not talk about how idiotic you are about the so-called virtuous man, big brother, do you still think that just by saying a few righteous and awe-inspiring words, you can make me regret and plead guilty? Your hypocritical generosity and kindness can't even fool yourself now, who else can you fool? ”

Li Shimin pointed to the generals around him and the officials who surrendered outside the city and asked with a smile: "Or do you treat them all as idiots?" ”

"My big brother! If you're ready to fight, then I'm going to storm the city now. ”

Li Jiancheng's face changed slightly: "Heavy troops have already been deployed in all directions, Shimin!" You should know that if you really want to use the army, you have no chance of winning, so why not confess your guilt? In front of my father, I would like to intercede for you! ”

"Forget it!"

Li Shimin said loudly: "There are 50,000 lives behind me, and they have no way out like me for a long time." From the day they embarked on the journey back to Chang'an, they had no way out. If you retreat, you will definitely die, and it will also harm your family. They are standing outside the Xuanwu Gate today, will they really be innocent if they plead on the ground and ask for sin? Let's fight and fight, no one wants to lose...... I don't want to die even more. ”

Li Shimin raised his arms and shouted: "Are you ready to go with me to rob it!" ”

"Steal your future, rob your peace, rob your future!"

"Rob!"

The generals under his command shouted in unison, and everyone's eyes were red at this moment.

Li Huining's face turned pale and looked at the Xuanjia young man outside the city, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Think of my father's previous words, and then think about what Shimin just said. She painfully realized that the Li family was too paranoid and crazy.
