Chapter 350: Li Chengqian lying on the gun!
Qizhou, Li Youzheng looked worried, although he chose to rebel, but he didn't have a specific plan for what to do next.
"Your Royal Highness, now we might as well enter Douzigang as a thief, the emperor of Qizhou City will inevitably send people to attack, and with this little strength of Qizhou, we can't resist it at all." A man dressed as a general said to Li You, his name was Yan Hongliang, and Li You's trust was once a dog fighter in the street market.
Li You's brows tightened, "Isn't this too insulting to my identity as a prince?" ”
Yan Hongliang said: "Your Highness, what kind of identity are you talking about now, your life matters." ”
"Let me think about it for a few more days." Li You was still a little hesitant, this time, he didn't even discuss with Yin Hongzhi before deciding, now the city is recruiting troops, he believes that with his own ability, he can still lay down a country.
Li You and Yan Hongliang here are discussing countermeasures, but Qizhou Zhichong Mansion is a different situation, such as today's peace, Li Shimin has just pacified the grassland, it can be said that today's Tang Dynasty is moving towards its peak, these soldiers who have no plan in their hearts, when Li You decided to rebel, their hearts are also alive, in their opinion, and Li You rebellion is purely looking for death, and one of them is especially Du Xingmin, who joined the army.
"Du joins the army, you say something, what should you do? If the emperor's army is coming, how can we be good? A lean man in the Zhichong Mansion was surrounded by a large circle of soldiers, and was bowing his head in deep thought.
"That's it, this King of Qi can rebel, we don't need to follow suit."
“……”
The soldiers gathered around you and me, but no one was willing to be a substitute for Li You, which shows how Li You has an image in their hearts on weekdays.
"Everyone, be quiet, if it is peaceful today, rebellion is the way to death, this everyone knows it in their hearts. Moreover, the current emperor is diligent in government and loves the people, and we can't follow King Qi to rebel. Du Xingmin analyzed.
"That's right." , "Said yes"......
Raising his hand to signal the soldiers to be quiet, Du Xingmin said: "I have an idea, instead of waiting for death in vain, it is better for us to directly trap the King of Qi and escort him to Chang'an tonight, so that we are not only innocent, but a great achievement, what do you think?" ”
"Well, Du joins the army and sees it. Whatever you say, we'll do it. ”
"It's all up to Du's instructions."
The "......" soldiers chimed in.
Seeing this, Du Xingmin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tonight, the king of Qi is said to be going to invite the local gentry to conspire in rebellion, and we will start to wipe them all out tonight." ”
"Good!" The soldiers echoed in unison.
When night fell, there was a singing and dancing in the palace of the king of Qi, and the princess of Qi also came out to meet the guests in person, and Li You entertained the gentry in these places, none of these people were not afraid that the world would not be chaotic, after Li You announced his independence, these people expressed their support. There is no shortage of speculators in any dynasty, and when everyone was getting drunk, there was a sudden noise outside the Qi Palace, and then a group of heavily armed soldiers poured into the Qi Palace. The soldiers of the palace with Du Xingmin besieged the palace of the king of Qi.
"Bold, who asked you to come to the palace of the king of Qi, and didn't let me get out, which surprised the king's guests. Aren't you afraid that this king will punish you? Li You staggered to his feet, thinking that he was the King of Qi who could call the wind and rain in Qizhou.
Du Xingmin glanced at the guests who were feasting, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew all these people, and none of them were not famous black-hearted businessmen in Qizhou, he said: "King Qi, you are openly rebelling, rebellious, come here, arrest everyone for me and escort them to Chang'an." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted Hong Sheng, and a group of soldiers rushed over with bright horizontal knives, trapping Li You, and the others were also tied up into zongzi.
Li You and Yan Hongliang reacted at this time, and scolded: "Okay, you Du Xingmin, you dare to rebel." ”
"Hmph, if it's peaceful today, but you have to go against the sky, I'm not rebelling, I'm just trying to make a living for the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion." After that, Du Xingmin left without turning his head, he had already sent someone to Chang'an to inform Li Shimin of the news......
After receiving Li Shimin's order, Li Ji went to Qizhou with 20,000 horses to suppress the rebellion, but before the army arrived in Qizhou, he got the news that Li You was tied up by soldiers, and then Li Shimin asked him to lead the army back to Chang'an, leaving only a part of the soldiers to go to Qizhou to investigate the matter thoroughly, Liu Dewei, the secretary of the criminal department.
Li You's rebellion turned into a farce before it began, but this incident still shook the government and the opposition, and Li You's power in the court was also trembling, and the status of the concubine plummeted, and she washed her face with tears all day long, which was karma.
On this day, Li Shimin was preparing to go to the East Palace to visit the sick Li Chengqian, because of Li You's matter, Li Shimin did not eat for a few days, and he was also sick, but when he recovered, he got the news that the crown prince Li Chengqian was sick, and the eunuchs of the East Palace had come to report several times.
He was just about to go out, when the eldest grandson Wuji walked over with a dead gray face and said, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" ”
Li Shimin noticed the strangeness of the eldest grandson Wuji, his face was even more ugly than when Li You rebelled, "The prince is sick, I am going to go to the East Palace to see him." ”
The paleness on his face instantly deepened, and the eldest grandson Wuji stretched out his hand to stop Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, you can't go!" ”
"Why is that?" Li Shimin said strangely.
Sighing deeply, the eldest grandson Wuji really couldn't bear to tell Li Shimin and Liu Dewei the news that he had just passed on quickly, but he hesitated for a moment and said: "The prince and Hou Junji are plotting to force you to take the Zen position, if you go, you won't be able to come back." ”
"What!" Li Shimin only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, his mind was all blank, his eyes were dark, and then his body was about to fall down as soon as he was weak.
"Your Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked, and immediately helped Li Shimin, and said to the eunuch: "Call the imperial doctor!" ”
Hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly ran out, while the eldest grandson Wuji helped Li Shimin to the bed.
After a while, Li Shimin woke up slowly, only to feel a heavy sadness in his heart, this sadness even passed when he personally killed Li Jiancheng, and his two sons tried to rebel one after another, which was too big a blow to him.
"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin worriedly.
"Don't alarm the others, arrest them all, I will interrogate him myself." Li Shimin said as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji answered yes, and then turned to leave.
"Wait." Li Shimin shouted again, "Also, summon the king of Shu back to Chang'an." ”
Eldest Sun Wuji understood something and nodded again.
Li Chengqian of the East Palace did not wait for Li Shimin's arrival, on the contrary, what he was waiting for was Li Shimin's Praetorian Guard, and the dead soldiers brought by Hou Junji could not resist these soldiers wearing plate armor at all, and were soon slaughtered, and Hou Junji was also defeated and captured.
And then, the convoy of the King of Shu entered Chang'an, and many ministers understood that the sky of the Tang Dynasty was about to change.
"Father, mother!" In the Yanxi Palace, Li Su saw the haggard Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen with tears on her face, Li Su didn't expect that this historical tragedy was born after all.
"You know all about the rebellion between the prince and the king of Qi!" Li Shimin asked.
"Yes, father, the son has heard the rumors, just ask your father to take care of your health." Li Su said.
Li Shimin nodded, he has already investigated the matter of Li Chengqian and Li You clearly, speaking of which Li Chengqian's rebellion can be seen Li You still made a meritorious service, this Li You planted an assassin in Chang'an, it was this assassin who attacked Li Tai during Li Shimin's Northern Expedition, but when people couldn't laugh or cry, this assassin not only served Li You, but also worked for the East Palace, which is why Li Tai insisted that Li Chengqian did it, and this person was involved in Li You's rebellion, Then he shook out the matter of Li Chengqian and Hou Junji, which made Li Chengqian's rebellion known to the world.
"Well, you don't have to worry about your father's body." Li Shimin sighed.
Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Li Su felt a little guilty and said: "Father, is it the matter of changing the crown prince that makes the prince take such a risk." ”
"It's none of your business, this rebel, he has long had the idea of rebellion." Li Shimin hated the iron and said that it was not steely, but at the same time, he was extremely sorry in his heart, in prison Li Chengqian put all the fault on him, saying that if it wasn't for the change in Xuanwumen that year, he would not have caused other princes to fight for the idea that the prince was fighting, and this sentence made him even more sad.
Li Su glanced at Empress Changsun and said, "Father, then what are you going to do with the crown prince and Li You." ”
Speaking of this matter, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both looked at Li Su, in fact, this is also the reason why they let Li Su come to Chang'an, hoping that Li Su can say his thoughts, after all, after this incident, Li Su must be the prince, and he will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, how will he treat Li Chengqian at that time.
Looking at the expectant eyes of Empress Changsun, Li Su sighed in his heart, in history, Li Shimin did not kill Li Chengqian after all, but denounced him as a concubine, which shows that Li Shimin still feels very sorry for Li Chengqian, and Li Su also promised Li Shimin not to kill any of his brothers.
"The prince committed the crime of rebellion and should be punished according to the law, but after all, he was also instigated by the villain, so the sons thought that it was enough to denounce him as a concubine." The villain in Li Su's mouth naturally refers to Hou Junji, and there must be someone to carry the black pot in this matter.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were relieved when they heard this, how could Li Chengqian say that he was also their first son, how could they bear to kill their own son! (To be continued......)
