Chang He naturally did not die, but his face was pale, looking at the scene in front of him, even if the deputy general beside him reminded him that the East Palace Chief Lin Jun was attacking Xuanwu Gate, he did not take it to heart.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who had few guards, soon became bare-bones, Li Shimin held a sword in his hand, Hou Junji was eyeing him, but Li Jiancheng was calm, Li Yuanji's body trembled, and his face showed fear.

"I regret that I didn't listen to Li Xin's words at the beginning, otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today." Li Jiancheng raised the sword in his hand and sighed, but in the face of death, Li Jiancheng seemed very calm.

"Second brother, please spare me! I will be your courtier in the future. Li Yuanji couldn't, he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and cried bitterly: "The younger brother is still old, and I still have a lot of glory and wealth to enjoy!" Second brother, just spare me! ”

"Spare you?" Li Shimin's face struggled for a while, killing his younger brother is not a good thing, but Hou Junji next to him is different, pointing at Li Yuanji and scolding: "Just this useless thing, you actually seduced your father's concubine at the beginning, and you did such a rebellious thing, it really tarnished Da Zhao's reputation, if you don't die, who deserves to die." As he spoke, he stepped forward with a sword and stabbed Li Yuanji to death.

"Good, good. Li Shimin, I underestimated, it seems that the person who really understands you is not your own relatives, but your enemies, or Li Xin understands you! After Li Jiancheng saw it, not only did he not get angry, but laughed and said: "It's a pity, although you are very powerful, but you are not wise and powerful, in this world, there are people who are more powerful than you." Victory, definitely not yours. ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, but saw Li Jiancheng take the sword and pull it towards his neck, and was about to stop it, but was blocked by Hou Junji. Then I saw Li Jiancheng's huge body fall. What is surprising is that Li Jiancheng still has a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes are wide open, and his face is full of sarcasm, which makes Li Shimin's original guilty mood suddenly feel a lot less.

"Hmph, become a king or lose a king, big brother, I will definitely take good care of you, if you don't die, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to ascend the throne and become the emperor." Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng's body. He fell to his knees and cried loudly: "Big brother, that's my father's concubine, you are the crown prince, what kind of woman doesn't have it, why do you want to hook up with your father's concubine, if you are a wise person, my father will not let me do this." Big brother! Why should you commit suicide in fear of sin? We are all sons of our father, and we plead with our father. Father will definitely spare your life. Why do you have to suffer? ”

Li Shimin's crying was sincere, and the generals around him saw it clearly, and they also nodded for a while, but Hou Junji's face was calm. Chang He's face was weird, they naturally knew about the situation, but they didn't expect Li Shimin to kill his brother. This trick will come again.

"Your Highness's condolences are changing, right now, the East Palace Changlin Army is attacking the Xuanwu Gate. Please also ask Your Highness to call the shots. Chang He listened to the shouting and killing on the city wall getting louder and louder, and said with some worry.

"Hou Junji, immediately go to the emperor and let the emperor issue an edict, announcing that the crown prince and the king of Qi are plotting to rebel, and the king of Qin will be punished by holy decree. As long as the holy decree comes out, these people will definitely not dare to attack the Xuanwu Gate again. I saw Fang Xuanling striding over and said loudly to Hou Junji.

"Yes, the last general will go." Hou Junji's eyes lit up, and he quickly found a war horse and rushed into the palace.

"Your Highness, now is an extraordinary time, please cheer up, command the army to fight, and not let the rebels enter the palace. Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang and others are leading the Changlin Army to kill them, Your Highness, we have fewer people. Fang Xuanling said loudly: "Your Highness can make someone hold Li Jiancheng's head, and summon the men and horses of the general of the Su Guard, Yunlu, to come to support." Fang Xuanling said again.

"Good. Xuan Ling, this matter is up to you. Li Shimin is also a hero, knowing that this time is the most critical time, whether he can safely ascend to the throne depends on today, as for ethics and morality have disappeared without a trace, I don't want to think about it, so I let people take Li Jiancheng's head, and ordered Yunlu General Jing Junhong to lead the Su Guards to come to support.

Li Yuan and Pei Lin were still standing in the same place, sparkling on the sea pool not far away, Li Yuan was originally going to go boating and fishing with Pei Lin and the others, but at this time, he was not in the mood at all, but his face turned blue and looked in the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

"Your Majesty, there is no way at this time, but to compromise with Li Shimin." Pei Lin was bitter in his heart, he took a fancy to Li Jiancheng, and invested a lot in Li Jiancheng, but he didn't expect that at this time, Li Shimin actually rose up and did such a rebellious thing. But things have happened, and Pei Lin has nothing to do.

"Compromise? How to compromise? He has killed his own brothers, does he dare to kill me? Li Yuan was unprecedentedly angry, he didn't expect that his proud son would actually have a fratricidal incident, how could he bear it.

"Your Majesty, the only one who can inherit the country in the future is King Qin." Pei Lin hurriedly reminded on the side.

Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and the complicated color on his face was much less. Pei Lin is right, after Li Jiancheng dies, who can be the prince? There is only Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but Li Yuan is very unwilling at this time.

"Your Majesty." At this time, a war horse galloped in the distance, and saw Hou Junji holding a big knife in his hand, with a fierce face, jumped off the horse, walked only a few steps, and fell to the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the prince and the king of Qi conspired to rebel, and was discovered by the king of Qin, and the king of Qi has been killed, and the prince killed himself in fear of crime, and now the rebellion in the East Palace is attacking the Xuanwu Gate, please give an order to the king of Qin to command the three armies and defeat the rebellion." ”

"Motoyoshi." Li Yuan didn't know what Hou Junji was talking about at all, but looked at the head on Hou Junji's left hand, which was the head of his son Li Yuanji, but he didn't expect that at this time, he was carried by Hou Junji, looking at Li Yuanji's deathless appearance, his heart suddenly felt like a knife.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the abolished prince Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, have long had the intention of conspiring to rebel, and today they were discovered by the king of Qin, so they did not cause great harm, Your Majesty, the minister suggested that the king of Qin should be the crown prince, command the three armies, and eliminate the rebellion." Pei Lin gestured to Li Yuan to Hou Junji next to him.

Li Yuan saw Hou Junji holding a big knife in his hand, his face was fierce, and his whole body was full of anger, and he immediately knew the meaning of Pei Lian, and couldn't help but shudder, he knew that if he didn't follow what Hou Junji said at this time, I am afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.

"Spread the decree and canonize Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the crown prince, and order him to command the whole army and suppress the rebellion." Li Yuan took out a gold medal from his arms, threw it to Hou Junji with a calm face, and walked towards the other side tremblingly, unconsciously, tears flowed from Li Yuan's eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The corners of Hou Junji's mouth rose, revealing a trace of disdain, and he turned around and left, Xuanwumen was still fighting, and he was worried about his lord. With this gold medal, what is the Changlin Army?

"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Li Yuan, would have today, it's really a big joke. Now it's okay, let Li Xin succeed. Pei Lin hugged Li Yuan, but Li Yuan burst out laughing, the laughter was full of bitterness, others don't know, but Li Yuan himself knows that the situation that caused today is mostly his own reasons, if it weren't for the balance of power, how could there be today's things, if it wasn't for Zen Rang, perhaps, Li Shimin would not do it at this time.

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, it's better not to think about it." Pei Lin said bitterly: "King Qin is resolute and decisive, wise and martial, at this time, it is not necessarily a bad thing to let him take charge of the affairs of the court, the minister is worried about those families, they used to support His Royal Highness the Prince, this time, King Qin, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, and when the time comes, it will still be Li Xin who gets the cheapest!" At this time, Li Xin is our biggest enemy! ”

Li Yuan's face changed when he heard this, and he said disdainfully: "Since that rebel has done this kind of thing, the rest of the things are for him to solve by himself, tomorrow I will issue an edict to canonize him as the crown prince, and a month later, I will let Chan give up the throne, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with me, hum, what if Li Xin calls?" I am his father-in-law, and since that kid is holding a land and water conference for the queen in Chang'an, he will not kill me. It will also give me glory and wealth. ”

Li Yuan is now broken and broken, and he has lost power left and right, and his hatred for Li Shimin now has surpassed Li Xin, a person who even killed his own brother, what kind of benevolence and righteousness do you tell him?

Pei Lin sighed, a trace of bitterness appeared in the depths of his eyes, Li Yuan can be like this, and he can still keep his wealth and wealth, but can he Pei Lin do it? Even if he submits to Li Xin, what will happen to the family's land? What other status does there have in the Wenxi Pei clan?

He looked at the Xuanwu Gate in the distance, the shouting and killing sound of the Xuanwu Gate gradually became much smaller, in Da Zhao, the holy decree still has a great effect, and Li Jiancheng has been killed, and the dragons in the East Palace are leaderless, even if there are a few die-hard characters, I am afraid they will not be able to support the overall situation. Li Shimin has already grasped the initiative, how many of those people in the East Palace will really work hard for Li Jiancheng?

However, if Li Shimin said that he had mastered the government at this time, it would be impossible. This is an era of the family, the patriarchal system is emphasized, the primogeniture inheritance system, if everyone learns from Li Shimin's example, the system that those big families rely on to survive will be challenged.

Even some of these big families will be hostile to Li Shimin. Pei Lin shook his head, no one won in this war, and the real victor was probably Li Xin, who was thousands of miles away! (To be continued.) )
