As soon as Li Jiancheng walked into the hall, he saw Su Dingfang kneeling in front of Li Yuan, and immediately ordered: "Su Dingfang, grab Your Majesty." ”

Qian Jiulong was shocked and immediately pulled Li Yuan back.

At the same time, Ding Zhi, Captain Liu and others aimed their weapons at Su Dingfang.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng was annoyed: "Su Dingfang, such a good opportunity, you actually missed it, it's really a waste." ”

Su Dingfang laughed self-deprecatingly, then slowly stood up, not afraid of the sharp weapons around him, and turned to look at Li Jiancheng:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have been wrong again and again, and now you are still launching a rebellion, seeking power and usurping the throne, such a big rebellion, the people of the world will not support you.

"It's better to lay down your arms now and order them to surrender, I believe that Your Majesty will spare your life for the sake of your sincere repentance."

Li Jiancheng sneered: "I don't need others to call the shots for my life, but you, it's really stupid to betray me at this time."

"You should know better than anyone what is going on, and soon, I will be able to sit on the throne in the name of justice.

"And the master behind you, he's out of power.

"What's more, he's going to kill you now."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's face turned blue with anger, but the words Su Dingfang said in the next moment made his heart iron a lot.

"Even if I am killed by His Majesty now, I will not be a rebel and thief."

Surrounded by swords, Su Dingfang was still fearless and upright.

"You ......" Li Jiancheng was extremely angry and said fiercely: "Su Dingfang, if you dare to betray me, I will make you regret it." ”

Wang Yu praised Su Dingfang in his heart: Good job.

Li Yuan also admired Su Dingfang very much, and immediately ordered: "Let him go." ”

Ding Zhi hesitated for a moment, then put down his weapon.

The others followed suit and lowered their weapons.

Su Dingfang knelt down again excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

But Qian Jiulong took the opportunity to glance at the Praetorian Guard.

So, after Li Yuan called Su Dingfang and Lin Zhi to come to their senses, several Praetorian Guards came over and said to them: "Su Wei, Pingnanhou, the rebels are fierce, you better avoid it." ”

Then without saying anything, he pulled Su Dingfang and Lin Zhiwu to the corner, far away from Li Yuan.

Su Dingfang saw their thoughts, but did not resist.

Lin Zhiwu followed Su Dingfang, but his mind was not on the current battle situation, his eyes had always followed the shadow in front of him.

Li Jiancheng on the opposite side was put on a stand by Wang Yu, very angry, looking at Wang Yu's eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire: "Wang Yu, you dare to tease me, I can't spare you." ”

Then he commanded: "Archers prepare." ”

Hearing this, Qian Jiulong's face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered: "Go and get the shield." ”

The Praetorian Guard immediately removed their shields from the inner sanctum, one for each of them, and stood in the front.

Li Jiancheng's archers were also in place, he raised his hands high, and was about to give an order when Wang Yu spoke.

"Prince, have you forgotten that I still have a firearm in my hand?"

Wang Yu raised his firearm high and said loudly: "If you dare to release arrows, I will pull open this iron ring and die with Your Majesty, and you will not want to get the edict of succession, prince." ”

As she spoke, she wrapped her other hand with the iron ring and made a pulling motion.

Li Jiancheng clenched his fists with hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Yu, count you ruthless." ”

Although Li Jiancheng did not give the order to release the arrows, he did not give up.

He turned his head sideways and ordered Shan Xiongxin, and then Shan Xiongxin left the main hall.

With such a familiar move, Wang Yu couldn't help but guess: He won't take hostages again, right?

She guessed right.

Soon, Shan Xiongxin returned, and behind him, dozens of Changlin soldiers held several hostages, including Princess Yongjia, Princess Jiujiang, King Zhao, and King Song...... are all Li Yuan's children.

As soon as they saw Li Yuan, they cried for help: "Father save me, save us......"

"Get on your knees."

The rebels violently pressed them down and put knives around their necks.

Feeling the chill on their necks, they stopped struggling and didn't dare to move, just crying and begging Li Yuan: "Father, save us......"

Li Jiancheng glanced at Wang Yu provocatively, as if to say: With so many people, can you save them?

Then, he shouted to Li Yuan: "Father, if you don't want to see them die here, write the edict of succession and give it to me as soon as possible." ”

"You ......" Li Yuan was furious, pointed at Li Jiancheng and scolded: "Rebel, you dare to kill your siblings, it's just madness."

"At the beginning, Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu said that the King of Qin was murderous, and if the King of Qin became the prince, he would definitely not let go of his siblings.

"And the crown prince is benevolent, only the crown prince inherits the throne can keep my children.

"Now it seems that you are the murderous wolf, and you will not even spare your siblings and your father."

Regarding Li Yuan's accusation, Li Jiancheng did not refute it: "During the period when my father imprisoned me, I have been reflecting on why I have fallen to this point?

"Later, I suddenly realized that being too benevolent will not achieve great things, and it is I who was too benevolent to Li Shimin in the past to lead to today's situation.

"What's more, since ancient times, the change of imperial power has been full of bones, so what's the matter if a few people die?"

"You ......" Li Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Jiancheng stopped talking nonsense with him, and said ruthlessly: "I count three times, if my father doesn't agree to write an edict to inherit the throne, I will kill them all." ”

"One ......"

"Father save us......" Princess Yongjia and the others were young after all, and in the face of death, they instinctively chose to ask their father for help.

Li Yuan looked at them with a heartache.

"Two ......"

"Father, I don't want to die."

"Father, I don't want to die ...... either"

"Three ......"

"Stop."

Before Li Jiancheng finished speaking, a female voice sounded in his ears.

But this time it was not Wang Yu's voice, but someone else's voice.

Everyone looked at the door.

Gao Huitong led dozens of palace maids to escort Zheng Guanyin and Li Chengdao, confronting the rebels all the way, and finally arrived here in time.

"Get out of the way, or I'll kill them." Gao Huitong held a dagger against Li Chengdao's neck.

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to give an order, Zheng Guanyin, who was also held to his neck with a dagger, shouted loudly: "Don't get out of the way quickly, do you want me and King Anlu to die here?" ”

Hearing this, the rebels quickly retreated to the side with the hostages.

Li Jiancheng was furious and asked Da Zhi, who was chasing Gao Huitong in: "The crown princess and the king of Anlu were arrested, why didn't they report me earlier?" ”

Da Zhi lowered his head in shame: "They took the crown princess and the king of Anlu County hostage to Taiji Palace before we found out, and their martial arts are not weak......"

Speaking of the back, his voice became quieter and quieter.

And Gao Huitong had already taken the hostages and came to Wang Yu and Li Yuan.

"Meet Your Majesty, meet the Princess." The crowd saluted.

Li Yuan was very happy: "Well done, all are exempt from courtesy." ”

This rebel son actually dared to hold his children hostage, and now it's good that he also has the son of the rebel in his hands.

Li Yuan immediately said to Li Jiancheng: "Rebel son, hurry up and release King Zhao and them, otherwise I will kill your wife and children." ”

"Your Majesty......" Zheng Guanyin looked panicked.

Li Chengdao looked at Li Yuan at a loss: "Grandfather, I am your grandson, can you bear to kill me?" ”

Hearing this "grandfather", Li Yuan felt a pain in his heart, but the next moment, he said indifferently: "Your father is a great rebel, not only seeking power and usurping the throne, but also killing his siblings.

"You are his son, and you will bear his iniquity."

Hearing this, Li Chengdao's face was as pale as earth, and he immediately shouted at Li Jiancheng: "Father, save me and my mother......"
