In the main hall of the East Palace, Li Shimin sat on it with a calm face, while Li Chengqian, the owner of the East Palace, was standing below with a face full of fear, looking up at Li Shimin from time to time, but he immediately lowered his head again, looking extremely weak, as for the palace people up and down the East Palace, they were all driven out, and there was no one else in the entire hall except for their father and son.

In the empty hall, Li Shimin's father and son did not speak, and bursts of terrible screams came from outside the hall, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects and flesh hitting, every time it sounded, the screams outside were particularly loud. However, as time passed, the screams became deeper and lower, and it was obvious that the man who was beaten outside could not hold out for long.

Listening to the increasingly weak screams outside, Li Chengqian's heart was also like a knife, because the person who was beaten outside was his favorite satisfaction, and today his father suddenly led someone to the East Palace, and then without saying any reason, he directly asked people to bring out the satisfaction, and dragged him out with a cane, without even a reason.

Li Chengqian was already weak-hearted, but now when he saw this situation, he was even more frightened, and he didn't even dare to intercede, wondering in his heart if the assassination of Zhang Xuansu was revealed? After all, Su Gan Chengji has been missing for several days, and now he can't see anyone alive or dead, and today his father is going to kill him as soon as he comes, so he obviously knows something. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's heart was even more frightened, and even his legs began to tremble slightly. Li Shimin, who was sitting above, saw his son's appearance, but his heart was even more displeased.

After a while, the screams outside finally slowly stopped, and only the sound of 'Woo Woo Woo' remained, and after a while. An executing guard strode up and reported: "Your Majesty, the prisoner has been killed with a cane!" ”

Li Shimin just hummed expressionlessly after hearing this. Then he looked at Li Chengqian, who looked pale, but didn't say anything. stood up and left with the guards, which made Li Chengqian even more frightened, and even forgot to send Li Shimin out.

Li Chengqian stood in the hall for a long time before a bold chamberlain stepped forward to remind him that His Majesty had left, and the body of the heart was still sitting outside, and asked him what to do with it?

Hearing the words of the chamberlain, Li Chengqian came to his senses and thought that his beloved Chengxin had been beaten to death. It made his heart empty, as if he had lost one of the most precious things. It was only then that Li Chengqian's face showed a sad look, and he walked outside the hall with heavy steps.

On the ground not far from the main hall, his hair was messy, his face was full of pain before death, his eyes were wide open, and he even looked a little hideous, and he no longer had the coquettish appearance he had before. As for the back to the thighs. It was all a blur of flesh and blood, and the ground was full of splattered blood, and it could be said that the death was very miserable.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian was heartbroken. An unspeakable anger suddenly surged up in his heart, and this anger was so strong that his whole body couldn't help but tremble. His face, which was full of pain just now, suddenly became hideous.

"Someone. Gather up the corpse that satisfies you, and bury it ceremoniously! Li Chengqian gritted his teeth. A trembling voice commanded.

However, after hearing this, the attendants in the East Palace below were all taken aback, and one of the more loyal attendants boldly reminded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the heart was personally ordered by His Majesty to be killed with a cane, if it is a grand burial, I am afraid it will ......."

However, before the words of this servant were finished, he saw Li Chengqian suddenly jump up and roar loudly: "Bastard thing, it's just that others are angry with this prince, and now even you people dare not listen to me, come here!" Kill me on the spot! ”

No one expected that the prince would suddenly explode into such a big anger, but the guards on both sides did not dare to disobey Li Chengqian's order, and went up to knock down the unlucky chamberlain, and then picked up the stick and beat it, but the chamberlain didn't understand what was going on, so he became the object of Li Chengqian's anger, and was beaten to death in a miserable scream, and went down to be a companion to Xiangxin.

Seeing this situation, no one dared to talk anymore, and hurriedly got busy according to Li Chengqian's instructions, and Li Chengqian, after the pain, immediately gathered Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang, Du He and others, and conspired in the East Palace for a long time, until the curfew was about to be curfew at night, Hou Junji and they left the East Palace.

That is, after Li Chengqian and many princelings dispersed, in the study next to the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin received an urgent request from the shadow, and now he was listening to the shocking secret reported to him by the shadow.

Li Shimin, who was behind the bookcase, clenched his fists, his face flushed, and endless anger welled up in his eyes. And in the midst of this endless anger, Li Shimin's heart suddenly swelled up with a strong sense of powerlessness, since he was born to the present, this is the first time he has appeared this kind of light, even when he blocked Dou Jiande's 100,000 army with thousands of people, he has never felt this way, but today after hearing the secret report of the shadow, it made him feel a deep tiredness, as if he had been drained all of a sudden, and he could no longer exert his strength.

"Is this all true?" Li Shimin asked in great pain, his voice even hoarser than a shadow, like a dying man who had lost his way in the desert and had not drunk a drop of water for several days.

Shadow has followed Li Shimin for so many years, and it is the first time to see him so out of shape, and his eyes are a little unbearable, but he still said in an extremely calm voice: "Your Majesty, the assassin sent by the prince last night in order to save his life, so he told this matter and told it, and then I immediately ordered the shadow guard to collect information in this regard, and after the analysis of all aspects of intelligence, His Royal Highness the prince did conspire with the officials Shangshu Hou Junji and others, which may be unfavorable to Your Majesty at any time, but they may feel that the time is not yet ripe, So it hasn't been launched for a long time, but ......"

When he said this, the shadow suddenly stopped, glanced up at Li Shimin, and then continued: "But after His Majesty left the East Palace today, the prince immediately summoned Hou Junji and others, and now they are discussing in the East Palace, as for the content of the secret discussion, the shadow guard has not been able to find it for the time being, but after Hou Junji went back, he immediately sent someone to contact Zuotun Wei Zhonglang General Li Anyan, and son-in-law Helan Chushi, although the shadow guard has not found any tangible evidence now, but the matter is urgent, everything is still requested by Your Majesty!" ”

Some of the words of the shadow were not said explicitly, but Li Shimin could also hear it, Li Chengqian had long been ready to rebel, but he never found a chance to launch it, but today he ordered someone to kill that satisfactory heart, although the prince was scared at that time, but it must have also made Li Chengqian resentful of his father, so he gathered everyone in a rage, as for what to do with these people? You don't need to ask at all, you can guess it, you must be taking this opportunity to prepare a rebellion, and it is even likely to be in the next few days.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly stood up, the sadness and anger that were still on his face just now disappeared, and the whole person's expression became extremely calm, now he is not a father who was betrayed by his son, but an emperor who is facing a rebellion, and any personal feelings are not in his consideration.

I saw Li Shimin walking back and forth behind the bookcase a few times, and suddenly stopped and said to the shadow: "You go back immediately, hand over the East Palace guard to Dali Temple, and at the same time pay close attention to the reaction of Hou Junji and others, and if there is any abnormal movement, immediately enter the palace to report!" ”

"Whoa!" The shadow agreed, and retreated silently.

However, Li Shimin did not go back to rest, he really didn't have that mind now, but secretly summoned Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji and other important civil and military ministers into the palace overnight, and informed everyone of the shocking secret of the prince's rebellion. As a result, everyone was shocked, and no one thought that with Li Chengqian's current identity, he would actually go to the road of no return to rebellion.

However, Fang Xuanling and these people are all important ministers of the country, so naturally they will not be surprised, and soon they will express their opinions on this, and together with Li Shimin, they will determine the final treatment plan, that is, before the prince rebels, all the relevant people will be brought to justice with lightning speed, so as to achieve the purpose of minimizing the impact of this matter, after all, the prince of a country actually rebelled, which can be regarded as a matter of disgrace to the Tang Dynasty in any way.

Li Shimin has always been a resolute person, that night to set a way to deal with, in the early hours of the morning, the North Ya Sixth Army began to be ordered to arrest people in the city, according to the list provided by the shadow guard, all the people who were summoned by the prince last night to plot in the past, all of them were arrested, even the prince's east palace was surrounded by Long Wuwei, the three guards of the east palace were disarmed, and at the same time transferred to the outside of the city to be guarded, as for the prince, he was placed under house arrest in the east palace.

At the beginning, the news of Li Chengqian's rebellion did not spread, and the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya was a janissaries, except for Li Shimin's order, no one could command them, but now they have to use them all over the city to arrest people, and those who were arrested are all the prince's party, and there are even well-informed people who know that something has happened in the East Palace, so for a while, rumors are flying all over Chang'an City, saying everything, but very few people guess that Li Chengqian is going to rebel, and even some unaware ministers are upset about the prince, and they ask Li Shimin to explain this matter.

With the arrest of those involved in the rebellion, coupled with the pressure from the government and the opposition, Li Shimin finally made public the matter of Li Chengqian's rebellion, and in addition to the whistleblower Su Gan Chengji, some of the arrested princelings also admitted to the incident, and in addition to some military orders for Li Chengqian to mobilize the army, the human and material evidence is complete, and it can no longer be denied. However, after the news of the prince's rebellion came out, it caused a series of monstrous waves in the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
