Chapter 937: Cornered with No Way
A moment in the making.
"Eldest Sun Langzhong, you are an official of the Criminal Department, and you also participated in the trial of the assassination of King Qin, do you know who rescued those prisoners?"
Many officials asked the eldest grandson Wuji for information.
The eldest grandson Wuji also just heard the news, and he was still in a state of confusion at this time, and when he saw them asking, he replied: "I can't hide it, I, like you, just learned the news."
"As for who the robber is, I don't know."
The crowd departed disappointed.
Xiao Yu didn't leave, he approached the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't the king send someone to guard outside the prison of Dali Temple?" They must have seen the prison robbers, right? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also lowered his voice: "There is no news sent to the palace yet, so I don't know if they have seen the robbers of the prison......"
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of a fight outside.
"What's going on out there?"
The ministers all looked at the entrance of the hall.
The next moment, Li Yuanji, who was wearing armor and holding a weapon, walked in majestically, followed by soldiers who were also wearing armor.
And the fighting outside has not stopped.
Chen Shuda glanced at the weapon in Li Yuanji's hand that was still dripping blood, and asked: "King Qi, you transferred troops privately and brought sharp weapons into the palace, this is the crime of rebellion, do you know what you are doing?" ”
His words were a bit tactful, and Tobe's words were more direct.
"Your Majesty is still on the throne, and the crown prince has not been deposed, King Qi, you privately transferred troops and horses into the palace, which is a rebellion and wants to be killed.
"While there is no big mistake now, King Qi hurriedly put down his weapons, withdrew his soldiers and horses, and went to ask His Majesty for his guilt."
"Huh!"
Li Yuanji laughed contemptuously, then raised the horse lance and swung it vigorously.
The next moment, Tobe fell to the ground holding his neck.
"Ah......h
An official screamed in horror.
"King Qi."
Chen Shuda pointed at Li Yuanji angrily, and his eyes showed reproach.
Li Yuanji raised his chin, looked at Chen Shuda with contemptuous eyes, and said coldly: "If anyone disobeys me, the household servant will be your fate." ”
"You ......" Chen Shuda was so angry that his fingers trembled, but he didn't speak again.
The other officials were frightened and subconsciously gathered around.
The eldest grandson Wuji grabbed Chen Shuda and stepped back, and persuaded in a low voice: "Chen Shizhong, don't be rash, the situation is not favorable to us now, we should wait and see what happens." ”
Chen Shuda didn't answer, but his steps were back.
Looking at this group of officials who didn't dare to speak, Li Yuanji was very proud, he slowly walked to the high platform, staring at the throne in the middle, his eyes obsessed.
At this time, the fighting outside the hall stopped abruptly, and Xie Shufang walked in with the soldiers.
"Master, we have captured the sons of Pingnanhou and Li Jing."
Hearing this, the ministers immediately looked at the door of the hall, and sure enough, they saw Lin Zhiwu and Li Dejian being escorted by soldiers.
However, the person standing next to Xie Shufang attracted their attention.
It was Xue Wanche, the general of the East Palace, who should have been imprisoned in Dali Temple.
At this time, the robbers of the prison are already self-evident.
Li Xiaochang's eyes flickered, looked at Li Yuanji and said, "King Qi, you sent someone to Dali Temple to rob the prison?" ”
"That's right, I sent someone." Li Yuanji did not deny it, and looked at Dou Dan in the crowd.
Facing Li Yuanji's gaze, Dou Dan panicked in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and naturally looked away.
Fortunately, Li Yuanji only glanced at him, and then looked away: "However, I was ordered by the crown prince." ”
Prince?
The ministers suddenly realized that it was not the king of Qi who wanted to rebel, but the prince who wanted to rebel.
At this time, Xue Wanche said loudly: "You are all important ministers of the imperial court, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always valued you, but you did not lend a helping hand when His Highness was in trouble. ”
The ministers panicked, could it be that the prince wanted to settle accounts with the autumn queen and kill them?
Thinking of this, the ministers' faces were filled with fear.
"However......" Xue Wanche's words changed: "Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, what you have done before, Your Highness has decided not to blame the past."
"As long as from now on, you swear allegiance to Your Highness, then you will be safe."
The ministers looked at each other.
Pei Lin wanted to stand up, but after thinking about it, the emperor controlled the soldiers and horses of the Sixteen Mansions, and it was impossible for the Jingshi to easily fall into the hands of the prince.
Maybe the crown prince hasn't fully controlled the palace yet, not to mention, King Qin is also in the palace.
Until the last moment, he could not reveal his position.
Thinking of this, Pei Lin silently stood with the other officials, occasionally showing a frightened expression.
Feng Deyi thought the same way, hiding in the crowd to observe the situation.
But Xiao Yu really couldn't hold back and said: "We are only loyal to Your Majesty, and people like you who are chaotic ministers and thieves will definitely be punished." ”
"Huh, huh?" Xue Wanche sneered: "Then Xiao Shangshu will open his eyes wide and watch carefully, how we enjoy glory and wealth." ”
"You ......" Xiao Yu's fingers trembled with anger.
Li Yuanji was too lazy to deal with the people below, his eyes glanced at the throne from time to time, he really wanted to sit on it, but the prince's people were still here.
He can't show his flaws, or he will lose all his efforts.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanji ordered: "Go and move the chair here." ”
Immediately, a soldier moved the chair to the high platform, wiped it with his sleeve, and said flatteringly: "King Qi, please take a seat." ”
Li Yuanji threw a satisfied look at him: "Yes, you can stay here and serve." ”
"Yes." The soldier resoundingly agreed.
......
At the same time, Li Shimin led people to run desperately to the palace gate in the south.
When they ran to the vicinity of the Heungin Gate, they were attacked.
"It's the King of Qin, report to the general quickly and send reinforcements."
After the soldier finished talking to his companion, he rushed towards Li Shimin, and the other soldiers immediately followed.
Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to the order and kill me out." ”
Wei Chi Jingde took the lead in rushing out, and with a wave of the horse's lance, someone immediately fell to the ground.
Not to be outdone, the others went forward to kill the enemy.
In a few moments, the rebels who attacked them fell.
Li Shimin was about to rush to Xingren Gate, when he saw Li Zihe and people running in from outside Xingren Gate, and gave an order:
"Close the palace gates."
Everyone watched as Heungin's door closed.
Wei Chi Jingde walked over: "General Li, why did you close the Xingren Gate?" Our king is about to leave the palace by order of His Majesty. ”
Hearing this, Li Zihe glanced at Wei Chi Jingde, and when he saw Li Shimin, he walked over quickly.
"King, there are rebels outside Xingren Gate, and besides, King Qi has led troops to occupy the Taiji Palace, controlling the hundred officials, Chengtianmen and Yonganmen have also been blocked by the rebels, and only the soldiers of Changle Gate are still fighting fiercely with the rebels at the palace gate in the south, but we can't reach Changle Gate.
"For today's plan, we can only pass through Zhongshu Province and return to Taiji Palace from Liangyi Gate."
Qin Shubao was shocked: "If we can't go out from the palace gate in the south, then we won't be able to get out of the palace." ”
Li Zihe looked worried: "Great King, my people are dragging King Qi's people, if we don't return to Taiji Palace immediately and close the Liangyi Gate, the rebels in the south will enter Taiji Palace."
"At that time, Your Majesty will be in danger."
Liu Shili said: "The prince has already premeditated, and the rebels are menacing, even if we return to Taiji Palace, we will not be able to compete with it with our troops." ”
"Then I have to go back to protect Your Majesty!" Li Zihe yelled in a hurry.
At this time, Li Shimin, who had been silent, issued an order: "Everyone return to Taiji Palace with me......"
