After several months of preparation, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin issued an order to reform the imperial family, and a series of measures sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he first learned of this decree, the whole country was shocked, and all the people and subjects of the whole country could not believe it.

Since then, although the world is still a family world, the emperor has become a rotation every few years, isn't this a mess?

Let's not talk about the people, just the children of the royal family and the ministers who disagreed jumped out one after another.

The most surprising thing is that the first to jump out against it turned out to be Taiwei, that is, Li Shimin's brother-in-law Zhao Guogong, the eldest grandson Wuji!

As Li Chengqian's staunchest supporter, the eldest grandson Wuji put almost all the treasures on Li Chengqian's body, after all, judging from the previous signs, only the crown prince Li Chengqian and the third prince Li Ke are qualified to inherit the throne.

With the eldest grandson Wuji's understanding of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian is the most likely to succeed to the throne and become emperor.

But now it seems that this hope has been completely shattered.

There is no way, after the restructuring, all the grandchildren of Li Yuan have the hope of ascending to the throne, and he Li Chengqian is not necessarily the only candidate, because Li Yuanba's son Li Chuyi, regardless of whether it is ability or personal charm, is on par with Li Chengqian, and he also has extremely high hopes.

Therefore, as soon as this decree was issued, the eldest grandson Wuji went crazy, and the efforts of the eldest grandson family for so many years were erased by the emperor's words, how could the eldest grandson Wuji not be crazy?

So, the eldest grandson Wuji directly began to contact the civil officials and military generals who belonged to his faction, and jointly signed a letter. directly admonished Li Shimin, hoping that he would retract the holy decree and revoke the decision to restructure.

There is a bird of the beginning. Those who already have opinions on the reform, the princes and county kings who are more marginalized by the royal bloodline. also jumped out together, saying that Li Shimin's actions violated the ancestral system and eliminated the influence of the imperial family on the Tang Empire.

Of course, things are all relative, some people stop it, and naturally there are people who support it.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who knew about this from beginning to end, and several other old brothers who had followed Li Shimin to fight the world together, expressed their unconditional support for Li Shimin's holy decree.

Anyway, they just need to know that this throne is still their Li clan's royal family. Moreover, the election of the emperor is far stronger than the designation of succession, so at least the situation of fainting monarchs is eliminated.

As a result, the 'counter-faction' represented by the eldest grandson Wuji and the 'maintenance faction' led by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui launched a protracted battle.

At the beginning of this war, it was just a war of words, but with the promotion of the system to the entire Tang royal family, the war of words gradually escalated into a political struggle, even a military struggle.

All kinds of open and secret battles. and even assassinations emerge one after another.

Li Yuanba, who has been watching from the wall, finally became angry after the 'maintenance faction' killed a squire of the Ministry of Works. The original idea of the 'Law Enforcement Palace' was finally established.

The Law Enforcement Hall is personally in charge of Li Yuanba, and the soldiers in the hall are all elites selected from the Shenwu Guard, and their equipment is all the most powerful firearms specially developed in the Shenji Mansion.

The rest of the guards don't even think about having it!

After the Law Enforcement Hall was secretly established, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba also deliberately issued an ultimatum to the 'counterparties', but those 'rebels' did not like Li Shimin and Li Yuanba at all.

Although it is said that it has been restrained in name, it still goes its own way in private, and assassination and persecution have never stopped.

After all, these 'counter-faction' people. From the king's grandson nobles, the prince's captain, and the prime minister, down to the county king, and the squire. All are people with great powers, in their opinion. Even if the emperor wanted to do something to them, he would have some scruples.

It's a pity that they overestimated themselves too much, and they also underestimated the determination of Li Shimin and Li Yuanba.

Li Shimin, who originally wanted to let these 'rebels' live, finally made up his mind after seeing what these people were doing.

……

On the first day of March in the twenty-fourth year of Zhenguan, in the depths of the palace, the main hall of the law enforcement hall.

Zhao Sanpao, who was dressed in a black robe, rushed in quickly, his face was gloomy, and he looked in a bad mood.

Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, who were discussing in the hall, were awakened, and the two suddenly raised their heads and looked at the door of the main hall.

When he looked at it and saw that it was Zhao Sanpao, Li Shimin wrinkled his brows and said, "Sanpao, why are you back?" ”

The chaotic situation between the DPRK and China for more than a month has made Li Shimin and Li Yuanba brothers irritable, and when they saw Zhao Sanpao walking in, Li Yuanba took the lead in asking: "Sanpao, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Sanpao looked at Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes, and he said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang!" Tianjiwei has just sent the news that Lord Eldest Sun has decided to take action against His Royal Highness King Jing! ”

Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, is a staunch 'defender', and he has a certain amount of military power in his hands, so he is an important threat to the 'counter-faction'.

"What?" Li Shimin was stunned, and when he heard the news, he stood in place like a fool, his lips trembled for a long time, and he said almost word by word: "Three guns, you say it again." ”

Zhao Sanpao's body was straight, and he still said gloomily: "Lord Eldest Sun, you have already decided to make a move against His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

"Smack!"

slapped heavily on the table in front of him, Li Shimin snorted angrily: "Mowgli, Mowgli, how dare you do this, how dare you do this!" ”

From childhood acquaintances, mutual support when they were young, conquest of the world after adulthood, and loyalty to the monarchs and ministers after ascending the throne...... Decades of brotherhood and the righteousness of kings and ministers, but now they have turned into nothing, Li Shimin is anxious in his heart!

Li Shimin's angry reprimand rushed out of the hall almost instantly.

The soldiers guarding outside the main hall suddenly drew their swords and rushed in one by one, looking at Li Shimin with some nervousness.

"All out!"

Li Yuanba stood beside Li Shimin, he knew Li Shimin's feelings, and waved his hand to let his soldiers out of the hall.

"Yes." The soldiers cautiously withdrew.

"Smack!"

Li Shimin slapped him again, slapped it on the table in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, "Wuji, do you know that Yuanjing is the only brother recognized by our brothers?" This is what you brought on yourself, and you can't complain about it! ”

When he said this, Li Shimin looked up at Zhao Sanpao and said, "Sancang, order people to beat drums, gather the generals of the Law Enforcement Palace, prepare for battle, I want to purge the 'countermeasures'!" (To be continued.) )
