At this time, great changes are brewing in the capital, which is already known to many people, and the irreconcilable contradictions between the crown prince and the king of Qin are already well known!

Li Shimin is winning over many people, and naturally it is impossible to do it completely.

During this time, Qin Wangfu experienced too many things, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were transferred.

Before these two extremely wise people were transferred, what was in the eyes of Li Shimin?

Expectations.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said: "King Qin, now that you and the crown prince are like fire and water, it is impossible for them to coexist at all, if you don't do it in time, it is us who will be transferred away now, and it will be you who will suffer in the future." ”

I don't know how many people in King Qin's mansion were transferred, and even Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao were transferred out of other states, in order to cut off Li Shimin's wings.

The biggest transfer is Luo Xuanye, when Luo Xuanye started from Jinyang, he served as a general in the forbidden army, and after ten years, the foundation is very deep, like the roots of an old tree, intertwined, and his prestige in the forbidden army is also extremely high, and half of Li Shimin's foundation in the forbidden army is in the hands of Luo Xuanye.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and eldest grandson Wuji persuaded Li Shimin together, but Li Shimin didn't speak, and in the end, the three of them left in disappointment, this is not what they think Li Shimin.

But as soon as Luo Xuanye came back, the eldest grandson Wuji knew what Li Shimin was waiting for.

I see!

It is impossible for King Qin to pit Luo Xuanye, since Luo Xuanye came back at the risk of life and death, it is an arrow on the string and has to be sent.

After Luo Xuanye came back, he stayed in the Qin Palace, this important matter, only the closest can be implemented, the three of them sat together to discuss the details and the hands that could be played.

Li Shimin said first: "The strength in Chang'an, the prince's East Palace is stronger, the king of Gusu County is in Chang'an, and now the most powerful foreign aid is Li Jing, the governor of Lingzhou, who is guarding against the Turks, and Li Shichang, the head of the marching army, and both of them have ability and prestige, if they can get the help of these two, it will be easier to succeed." ”

Before the eldest grandson Wuji could speak, Luo Xuanye said directly: "King Qin, it's not proper, even if you send a letter, Li Jing and Li Shiyun won't help you, at most neutral, I don't think it's necessary, take the risk of them telling the truth, to win over."

Before the incident, let Xuanjing live in the Qin Palace, stay with the princess, if there is really an accident, we will quickly go to Luoyang, let Xuanjing go to Jiangnan, there is enough foreign aid.

The coup d'état is about killing with one blow, we have an advantage in this point, the guards of the Qin Palace's mansion are very brave, after I come back, we control the guards, master the opening and closing of the Xuanwu Gate, which is enough to beat the army of 100,000. ”

After listening to what Luo Xuanye said, the eldest grandson Wuji agreed: "King Qin, what Zhou Guogong said is reasonable, Li Jing and Li Shiyun have always been neutral and not close to the palace, at this time, there is no need to win over." ”

The two humerus henchmen disagreed, and Li Shimin immediately ruled out this idea and removed the names of Li Jing and Li Shiyun from the list.

After determining the first thing, it is the most critical, "Recall the generals and staff of the Qin Wangfu and Tiance Mansion, especially Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Chigong and others are all enemies, and it is extremely important in this kind of small-scale conflict." ”

The candle flame was long, reflecting on the faces of the three of them, Luo Xuanye was very calm, Li Shimin was faintly in pain, and the eldest grandson Wuji was full of excitement.

……

The first warrior in the Qin Palace's mansion to know that Luo Xuanye was back was Wei Chigong.

Seeing Luo Xuanye come back, Wei Chigong was extremely excited, and when he sat opposite Luo Xuanye, he was still a little excited and restless, obviously indoors, but he said with some eyebrows: "I thought King Qin was really hesitating, it turned out that he was waiting for Qingyang Gong, Qingyang Gong, is it that we will enter the Tai Palace now!" ”

is worthy of Wei Chi Gong, worthy of Wei Chi Gong who has a grudge against the prince and Li Yuanji.

In addition to Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanling, Wei Chigong is Li Shimin's favorite general, this general is loyal to Li Shimin, and the crown prince and Li Yuanji recruit him, and even kill him, they are unwavering.

Luo Xuanye said lightly: "I will give you a reassuring pill today, it is a matter of time before I call you today, I have something to explain to you, and what King Qin has to face is a brother after all."

If, I mean if, when the time comes, King Qin really can't do it, or has hesitation, I'll hand it over to you, understand?

I don't worry about anyone else, only you. ”

When Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Zhou Guogong rest assured, the King of Qin has been forced to such a point, and I will definitely remove these two scourges for the King of Qin by the great grace of the King of Qin." ”

Luo Xuanye patted Yu Chigong on the shoulder when he heard this, but Yu Chigong seemed to be a ghost, because he actually smiled at himself when he saw Luo Xuanye.

He recalled that it seemed that Luo Xuanye had never smiled at the generals and staff of the Qin Palace.

Luo Xuanye smiled: "I may not be able to use you, King Qin, he likes to carry things on his back, but he will see your loyalty and become his courtier, this is your Yu Chigong's luck." ”

Wei Chigong nodded approvingly, Li Shimin is a very emotional person, he can just restrain his emotions.

Wei Chigong walked out of the room, his steps were very brisk, and he didn't have the heaviness of accepting an important task just now, with his temper, if he hadn't been able to provoke him, he would have wanted to kill the prince and Li Yuanji a long time ago.

Luo Xuanye looked at the figure of Wei Chigong leaving, squinted slightly, and thought about who to talk to next.

……

The Turks invaded the border again, and Li Jing broke the Turks under the city, but he could not stop the large forces of the Turks, but the Turks were menacing on the surface, but they sent envoys to ask for money, and Jieli Khan was also out of this.

In everyone's surprised eyes, Li Jiancheng asked Li Yuanji to take the initiative to face the Turks.

In Li Jiancheng's view, this is a perfect opportunity, an opportunity to be able to reimburse all the generals in Li Shimin's Qin Palace, for his own position, he did not hesitate to make great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Empire, all of them were killed.

Li Yuanji went on an expedition, and Li Shimin was bound to practice, and he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Li Shimin.

As early as when Yang Wen was doing something, Li Shimin was able to promote the rebellion in the East Palace, and his infiltration of the Prince's East Palace can be imagined, and the undercover agent learned about Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's plan and rushed to inform Li Shimin.

Li Shimin immediately summoned Luo Xuanye and the eldest grandson Wuji in the mansion to inform them of the incident, and the eldest grandson Wuji was shocked, and the two looked at Li Shimin at the same time.

But there was no trace of anger on Li Shimin's face, only a relief like an epiphany.

What was Li Shimin thinking?

He has been waiting for the past few years, and sometimes he doesn't know what he is waiting for, and the generals and staff have persuaded him to do it, until now.

Finally freed, now he is a complete victim, Li Shimin is not a pedantic person, he has been thinking about what Gong Wen said about peace of mind.

Now he understands that this is the peace of mind he wants.

A psychological superiority, it's not his fault.

When this kind of psychology took possession of his heart, he only felt a warm power surging in his body, which was something that emanated from his heart.

Li Shimin looked around at the people around him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Jingde, go and call all the people who have served in the Tiance Mansion and the Qin Wang's Mansion!" ”

Luo Xuanye and the others sat on both sides, waiting quietly, Li Shimin closed his eyes and waited, and soon many people came to the Qin Palace, but Fang Xuanling and the others were unwilling to come.

"Respect the will of the Son of Heaven, we can no longer associate with the King of Qin in the future, the Son of Heaven said that if we see the King of Qin again, he will kill us, so we dare not come."

Li Shimin immediately knew that Fang Xuanling and the others were not reluctant to come, but asked for his assurance, and when they came back this time, they must not have the slightest hesitation.

Li Shimin looked at Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanye nodded, and Li Shimin said to Yu Chigong and Luo Xuanling in a cold voice: "Jingde, Qingyu, you go again, tell them to come to the Qin Palace, if they don't come, kill them!" ”

The order of the Son of Heaven is no longer important to me, this is the answer Li Shimin gave them, and he reacted extremely strongly.

Fang Du and the others finally returned to the Qin Palace, surrounding Li Shimin.

After seeing everyone, Luo Xuanye said the words he had prepared a long time ago in front of everyone: "King Qin."

When King Su was just regent, his brothers rebelled, which was the famous rebellion of the three eunuchs in history, and King Su did not hesitate to go to pacify, and finally exiled and killed them.

Guan and Cai are both the brothers of King Su's relatives in the world, but King Su did not hesitate to kill them because they were harmful to Bang Zhou.

Nowadays, people are pedantic!

If the Tang Dynasty did not have the King of Qin, it would be just a prince who had fallen in troubled times, and it was just a dynasty that survived under the Turks.

King Qin, it's time to let go of that non-existent hesitation. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji applauded Luo Xuanye, this is what he thought in his heart, "King Qin, you have conquered the world, and you are the de facto founder of the country, isn't this Tang Dynasty what you deserve?"

Isn't it wrong to get back what belongs to you?

Is it correct that the prince, as an elder brother, has tried to murder you several times?

Li Yuanji, as a younger brother, has tried to harm you many times, shouldn't this be punished?

Zhou Guogong is talking about the trip of a saint, it is the proof of the sky!

King Su also did this, does anyone still think it's wrong?

King Qin! ”

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Chigong, Luo Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie and many others forcibly suppressed the agitated emotions in their hearts, and said in a deep voice: "King Qin, please kill the crown prince King Chu and stabilize the country!" ”

Li Shimin held the sword in his hand, and said with a relieved look on his face: "The avoidance I have been doing is not hesitation, I don't know that the brotherhood between me and the prince has long been exhausted in the conflicts again and again, he is no longer my eldest brother, and I am not his younger brother."

But I'd still like to have him do it first and then I'll fight back, which is probably a bit too much......

But that's what I thought in my heart, and I wanted to prove that it wasn't my fault, and I wanted to have a clear conscience, so to this day.

They're really going to do it to me.

That's it, let's go to the final showdown. ”

Fang Du and the others were resourceful, and they had been thinking for an unknown amount of time, and soon proposed a plan for Li Shimin to lure the snake out of the hole, using a major event that everyone must appear in the palace to wipe out the Son of Heaven, the crown prince, and the king of Chu.

……

When Li Shimin walked out of the Xuanwu Gate, he looked at the tall city gate behind him, like a giant beast in the dark abyss, he couldn't help but clench his fists, he recalled the conversation with the Son of Heaven just now, a little sad, he had never seen a shining star in the sky.

In the palace, Li Yuan couldn't sleep in the dormitory, he recalled that Li Shimin reported Li Jiancheng today, and the more he thought about it, the more difficult he felt to accept it.

Brothers are fighting, to the point where you are living and dying now, Li Yuan at this moment suddenly regretted a little, did he really want to see his brothers kill each other?

It would be nice if Datang had the Western Regions.

Li Yuan thought like this, so that he could seal one of them to the Western Regions, separated by five thousand miles, and he must be able to live in peace.

The starlight gradually dissipated, the crescent moon in the sky was hidden behind the white canopy, the prosperous Chang'an began to wake up, the smell of cooking cakes had begun to appear in the streets, and the hard-working people began to move, and now it was in the middle of summer, and the warm wind blew on people's cheeks.

Chang'an City is infinitely beautiful, Datang is slowly recovering, and the population of six million households makes Datang once it glows up, and it is full of vitality, which makes people feel broken.

Almost no one knew that after dawn came, when the palace guards also began to change, several people walked into the palace, one of which was Luo Xuanye.

He entered the palace very calmly, without feeling at all that he was now the king of Lingnan, and it was wrong to appear here, and he returned to the forbidden army as if he was going home.

There are many people here who are the kings of Qin.

When Li Shimin led these people to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, they all saw the heroic posture of rushing to kill.

Everyone has a scale in their heart.

This scale is the human heart.

The people's hearts may not let these people give up their lives for Li Shimin, but neutrality is enough.

Even Li Jing and Li Shiyun will choose to be neutral because of Li Shimin.

In this coup d'état against the crown prince and the king of Chu, there were two battlefields, one of which was the meeting of the king of Qin and the prince of Shuanglong, and the other was the palace, whether the Son of Heaven could be controlled at the first time was the most critical.

Li Yuan is finally the Son of Heaven, if he orders the forbidden army to attack, the forbidden army will still obey the order, and not all of the sixteen Wei generals are under the control of King Qin.

People's hearts are like flowing water, which can change at any time.

The reason why Luo Xuanye chose to do this by himself is very simple, "The prince and the king of Chu must be killed, but the Son of Heaven, he is the monarch's father, and he must not move, and the idea of killing the father and the monarch cannot be had, and I will not allow this to happen."

In the palace, it is easiest for me to advise the Son of Heaven, and it can also prevent accidents among the Son of Heaven in the chaotic army. ”

Luo Xuanye's words, everyone understands that the heavy responsibility he shoulders is even more difficult, but there is indeed no more suitable person than Luo Xuanye.

After Luo Xuanye, the quiet Tang Palace ushered in a team of killing messengers, and an army appeared outside the palace gate, this army rode horses, equipped with complete bows and swords, and appeared outside the Xuanwu Gate with a swagger, and then was directly put in by the guards of the Xuanwu Gate.

The leader is Li Shimin, he has a radiant look on his face, last night he thought he would stay awake all night, but the fact is that he slept very peacefully.

He really let go.

This morning, when he put on his armor and picked up his sword, it seemed that he had returned to the battlefield that had been excited, the heart in his chest was beating vigorously, and that heart had experienced countless torments and countless tests since he saw Luo Su in Luoyang.

This heart is as hard as steel, and nothing can destroy it.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence, but the soldiers of the Qin Wangfu were very quiet, and under the command of Luo Xuanling, Wei Chigong and others, they quickly found a suitable place to ambush and hid.

The birds in the woods were startled, the weeds were trampled, and at last everything fell silent.

O prince, O king of Chu, come quickly, we are waiting for you here until we kill you.

……

In the Son of Heaven's dormitory, Li Yuan woke up slowly, and saw a person sitting in his dormitory, sitting very upright, with a straight back, wearing armor, holding a sharp sword in his hand, looking at himself motionlessly.

Luo Xuanye!

Luo Xuanye?

When he saw Luo Xuanye appear in front of him, he thought that he had seen it wrong.

The hall was a little dim, because it was cloudy today, and the sky was a little dark, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and found that it was really Luo Xuanye, dumbfounded.

Luo Xuanye saw Li Yuan wake up, bowed down and said, "Father is safe and blessed." ”

"You ......"

How did you end up here?

This is what Li Yuan wanted to ask, but immediately after that, his hair stood on end, and his gaze almost immediately fell to the outside of the palace, "King Qin......

He couldn't speak, and there was only endless fear on his old wrinkled face.

Concubine Yin De woke up slowly, and when she saw Luo Xuanye, she thought she had seen a ghost, and immediately screamed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Yuan came back to his senses and immediately asked sharply: "Luo Xuanye, you returned to Beijing without will, are you going to rebel?" Who instructed you, is it the King of Qin? ”

Luo Xuanye bowed down and said respectfully: "Father, the minister received a superstition in Lingnan, and heard that the prince and the king of Chu wanted to rebel, so he rushed back to Chang'an thousands of miles away to protect you."

You know.

The minister used to be the general manager of Zuo Qianniuwei, and he was very experienced in protecting His Majesty's safety. ”

If Li Yuan was struck by lightning, he immediately shouted loudly: "Someone! Come! ”

But the door was tightly closed, only Li Yuan and Concubine Yin Defei were on the bed, surrounded by a brocade quilt, Li Yuan, who had recovered from extreme shock, could faintly hear some shouts of killing coming from outside, and then these shouts of killing stopped.

The door of the outer room was opened, Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and the next moment it dimmed, and it was Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, who walked in from the outside.

Li Yuan said with some pain: "Pingyang, you are also ......"

Li Xiuning looked at Li Yuan with some guilt, but he was a little dissatisfied, he came to this point today because father, you can't handle the relationship between the eldest brother and Erlang, do you have a trace of regret now?

But she couldn't blame Li Yuan like that, now Li Yuan was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and she couldn't stimulate him anymore, lest the situation get out of control.

She just said softly like the usual daughter: "Father don't worry, we will protect your safety, and the conspiracy of the crown prince and the king of Chu will not succeed."

You will always be the noble Son of Heaven. ”

She said this, but Li Yuan was unwilling to do so, he said sharply: "Pingyang, do you know what you are going to do again?" You are conniving at your brother's slaughter, is the King of Qin going to merge with the crown prince, you don't stop this matter, but you get involved, you ......"

Li Xiuning was already in pain like a knife in her heart, watching her brothers kill each other but couldn't stop it, but she had to get involved, she was not just Li Jiancheng's sister and Li Shimin's sister now.

She is also Luo Xuanye's wife.

She is the princess of the Tang Empire, and she has the obligation to make Li Shimin, a better prince, the son of heaven, not Li Jiancheng.

She is the one who bears the precedent of a woman in politics, and she has countless reasons to get involved.

In addition to her own power, she must not accept this moral accusation from Li Yuan.

A determined person like her couldn't help but shed tears, crying but screaming: "Father, isn't this your fault?

Is it really that important?

It's so important that Erlang's great credit can't shake you, and it's so important that Erlang won't die if he doesn't become a prince, and you still refuse to let him be the prince.

Did you really suppress Erlang for the sake of your eldest brother being the prince?

At the current stage, it's all your fault, it was you who let the prince and the king of Qin fight, and it was your connivance with the prince and the king of Qin that made things irreparable.

What the Tang Dynasty can't lack is Erlang, it can't be lacking now, and it can't be lacking in the future, but an empire, only the king can't be missing, you don't give the throne to Erlang, but you have to give it to the prince.

Aren't you irresponsible for the dynasty, the temple, and the community?

Now that the crown prince and the king of Chu are rebelling, doesn't this prove that you are really wrong?

Why don't you want to admit it, but blame us for this? ”

The heart-piercing knife from the little padded jacket directly silenced Li Yuangan, he opened his mouth, and then put his eyes on Luo Xuanye, and said angrily: "Luo Xuanye, I can be said to be very kind to you, in this Tang Dynasty, except for my four sons-in-law and daughter-in-law, even other sect kings are not as good as you."

In terms of power, I trust you even more than the kings of Qi and Chu.

I never thought you'd be here, you've disappointed me, disappointed. ”

Luo Xuanye was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't regret it, he knelt on the ground respectfully, and then kowtowed, which made Li Yuan feel a little better in his heart.

Luo Xuanye knelt down and said: "Father, there is a saying in the son-in-law clan that the greatest filial piety of a son of man is to correct the mistakes of his parents.

If you see your parents' mistakes and don't point them out, you will eventually have unpredictable consequences.

Father, what do you really want in this life?

Is it just a peace between brothers?

But as Pingyang said just now, it has been destroyed by you, and this is no longer possible.

Haven't you ever wondered what would happen if the crown prince came to power?

The crown prince and the king of Chu planned to kill all the generals of the Qin palace when they conquered the Turks, and when he ascended the throne, the king of Qin would die, and I would also die.

The prince's mind is not tolerant of all rivers, his father, the founding ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty are all in the palace of the King of Qin, kill these people, what will happen to the Tang Dynasty?

Who will stop the Turkic invasion?

Is it handed over to outsiders like Li Jing and Li Shiyun?

The crown prince does not know soldiers, he has no prestige in the army, in order to control the army, he can only pretend to be someone else's hands, isn't this handing over the weapon to outsiders?

When we say that it is for the sake of society, is there the slightest lie?

Father, have you never thought about these things?

The reason why the crown prince was able to sit in Chang'an City and fight with the king of Qin was because the king of Qin defeated Xue Ju, Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and the Turks.

King Qin supported the Tang Dynasty for a piece of heaven, so that there was peace under the sky, and only then did the prince be able to deal with King Qin safely, what an irony.

Killing the King of Qin is to pierce this piece of heaven, and the prince will have to face those storms alone, don't you understand this truth?

I'm sure you get the idea.

If the Turks are not removed, King Qin will not be able to move, he is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the reason why you have been promoting King Qin all these years, so why not just make King Qin the future Son of Heaven and justifiably guard the Tang Dynasty?

This is the heartfelt words of the son, and I also ask my father to listen to it, today the son is here, and no one can hurt my father.

The old ministers have also entered the palace and are resting in the side hall, the sons and Pingyang retreated first, let the palace change clothes, the lake in the palace is very beautiful, and the sons think that it will be a very good choice to go boating and swimming in the lake. ”

With that, he glanced at each other and slowly withdrew from the hall.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Concubine Yin De screamed in hindsight, and directly cried in fright, Li Yuan was stunned, lost his soul, he didn't know what was happening outside the palace, but he seemed to have seen blood splashed all over the palace.

……

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji walked into the Xuanwu Gate without knowing it, and under the sun that had already risen, their faces were illuminated, and they had smug on their faces, what about the King of Qin, who was once invincible on the battlefield?

It's not like I'm going to bow down obediently, even if I once won most of the world, it's not like I'm going to fall into my hands because of my position.

With a smile on their faces, they walked into the Xuanwu Gate, into the trap that Li Shimin had compiled for them, and into the destined death!

Li Yuanji often makes trouble, and soon felt that something was quiet around him, why were there no birds in those forests?

An extremely ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

"Prince, something is wrong!"

Li Yuanji said with some uneasiness, Li Jiancheng also felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and then the two heard the sound of the door falling heavily, and the Xuanwu door was closed.

The hearts of the two sank, and at a glance they saw the mighty Li Shimin riding on a horse.

They were looking at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was also looking at the two of them.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stood under a ray of light, which was a beam of light from the torn clouds.

Li Shimin stood in the shadows, and no one could see the expression on his face.

Li Shimin only felt that he was extremely calm now, he was waiting here quietly, waiting for his fate, obviously there was no clock, but there was a beating heart, reminding him all the time.

Time flies so slowly.

Time flies.

Li Shimin thought like this, until Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji suddenly appeared in front of him, everything fell to the dust, God had arranged things until now, and next, he had to rely on the bow and arrow in his hand.

"King Qin, you led troops into the palace, are you going to rebel?"

Li Jiancheng shouted loudly, what else could he do now, he could only roar loudly like this, hoping to make Li Shimin stop.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Prince, you are plotting to make trouble, I respect Your Majesty's order to come and kill you, today Datang will lose a prince and usher in a new prince!" ”

This naked killing intent made Li Jiancheng frightened, he turned around and slapped the horse and wanted to escape, but no matter how fast the horse was, how could it be faster than the bow and arrow in Li Shimin's hand?

Li Shimin took a bow, and it was like a full moon, and the people in the entire Qin Palace's mansion were watching him.

Time seemed to stand still.

There is no sound!

That arrow was shot out accurately, as fast as lightning, just like every arrow shot by Li Shimin in the past, it never missed, and it was ready to hit Li Jiancheng.

The arrow pierced Li Jiancheng's chest, splattering red blood with a poignant taste, like the sun about to set on the mountain.

Li Shimin is a marksman who never fails, and it is no different now.

And Li Yuanji, who wanted to fight back, couldn't pull away and couldn't shoot accurately, this is the difference between him and Li Shimin.

When death came, Li Shimin had strong courage, but he was only weak, just as he gave up Taiyuan at the beginning, and now he is still so useless.

Li Jiancheng let out a painful sigh, feeling as if his soul had left his body, what was he thinking about with his painful expression before he died, it could be remorse, it could be just fear, no one knew and cared.

The boundless darkness swallowed him, like the light that tore through the sky, removed from his face, and he fell into darkness, the clouds moved in the sky, and the light fell on Li Shimin.

Li Shimin blocked his eyes slightly, he was used to the darkness, and the sudden light shook so that he couldn't open his eyes.

Looking at Li Jiancheng, who had fallen off his horse, Li Shimin was a little distracted, and he finally took this step.

This is something he did not want to do in every possible way.

At this moment, he felt a layer of blood on his body.

But he must do it himself!

He couldn't hand over this matter to anyone else, although Luo Xuanye had already told him that he was unwilling to let Wei Chi Jingde do it for him.

Just as when he swore an oath at the end of the Qin Palace, he said to the generals, "If there is infamy in the world in the future, the blame will be attributed to me, and the kings will move forward with their heads held high!"

I share your troubles, and I will share your riches.

This is my promise to you. ”

This arrow is his best response to this sentence!

You remember, I, Li Shimin, will never let anyone take the blame for me because of this matter.

I openly tell the people of the world that it was I who did it, and whether it was condemnation or abuse, I would bear it.

I'm standing right here, and no matter what's in front of me, I'm not going to back down!

Li Shimin's heart didn't have much joy, he was a very emotional person, he couldn't help but think of his mother, if his mother was here, he should be the prince of righteousness and brightness now, and he would not come to this point, he would give his eldest brother a king, let him spend this life in peace, not like now.

Luo Xuanling knew that he was distracted when he saw Li Shimin's condition, and hurriedly flew over, picked up Li Shimin, who was almost tripped, pulled up the horse again, and let Li Shimin get on the horse again.

Li Shimin came back to his senses.

Not far away, Wei Chigong, who was smiling evilly, was finally able to cut off Li Yuanji's head openly.

He was smiling heartily covered in blood, and there was nothing more delightful in the world than killing his enemies.

Luo Xuanling laughed loudly and said: "King Qin, Li Yuanji has given the head, General Wei Chi is really loyal." ”

Li Shimin came back to his senses and looked at the dead Li Yuanji, which was completely different from the feeling of killing Li Jiancheng just now, he felt happy, and couldn't help laughing: "The generals of the Qin Palace, Wei Chi and Qingyu, are all my humerus henchmen." ”

Wei Chi Jingde is really a killer, and unlike Qin Shubao and others, he not only cut off Li Yuanji's head, but also directly cut off Li Jiancheng's head, and then took the two heads to the palace gate, and drank back all the soldiers of the East Palace who were still resisting.

Seeing that the crown prince and the king of Chu had died, the soldiers of the East Palace and the King of Chu dispersed in an instant, and the generals of the East Palace, such as Xue Wanche and others, who still wanted to resist, had no choice but to flee.

Things went so smoothly that everyone didn't expect that the crown prince Li Jiancheng was killed with just one arrow, and then Yu Chi Jingde stabbed Li Yuanji, the king of Chu, to death with a spear, as if two people were standing there and being killed.

Things are going so smoothly that it even makes people wonder if this is really the end of the matter?

Is there something that hasn't been done?

But the two headless corpses gurgling with blood on the ground tell everyone that it's really over.

The battle in Xuanwu Gate shook the entire palace, and even many surrounding markets in Chang'an City heard the movement here, but the guards in the palace were quiet.

No one came here, and the thousands of forbidden troops quietly watched the King of Qin, who only had 800 people, and hacked the crown prince and the king of Chu to death.

Why didn't this battle end in Xuanwumen?

This battle ended in the countless days and nights that Li Shimin had struggled for, in those years, he put on armor, he had great prestige, and countless people believed that Li Shimin could bring a more brilliant future.

So just like now, this is Li Yuan's palace, but Li Shimin is unimpeded here.

Li Shimin gave Luo Xuanling a look, Luo Xuanling shook his head, and then looked at Wei Chi Gong and said: "I am here to protect the King of Qin and prevent the crown prince and the remnants of the King of Chu from making trouble, please General Wei Chi to visit Your Majesty, is it safe." ”

The more the last moment, the more steady he must be, Luo Xuanling must not allow himself to leave Li Shimin for half a step, Wei Chigong wiped the blood in his hands, and with a smile, he rode his horse to the palace with a horse lance.

He rushed all the way to the shore, Luo Xuanye saw it from afar and asked the cruise ship to return to the shore, and as soon as he saw Wei Chi Gong covered in blood, he immediately asked sharply: "General Wei Chi, why are you here?" ”

Wei Chigong immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhou, the crown prince and the king of Chu really rebelled, and the king of Qin has already led troops to kill them, this is their head."

The crown prince Chu Wang Yu was scurrying around in the palace, worried that he would disturb His Majesty, so let me protect Your Majesty.

It is the fault of the ministers to disturb the holy car. ”

When Luo Xuanye heard this, he immediately said: "What a good thief, he really rebelled, Your Majesty, the crown prince and the king of Chu really rebelled!" ”

Li Yuan fell into a trance, he shed tears wordlessly, and endless pain was intertwined in his heart.

Even after Luo Xuanye and Pingyang's foreshadowing, when the facts really appeared in front of him, he still couldn't calm down.

He had tried so hard to bridge the rift between the crown prince and the king of Qin, but in the end he still failed, and even went to the most unacceptable ending.

A fratricidal tragedy happened in front of him.

Who is responsible for this?

Is it me?

Recalling what Li Shimin once said in front of him, "Those sons once made meritorious deeds, but now they have turned into swords stabbing at their sons", recalling Pingyang's heart-rending accusation this morning, "It is your father's fault that the crown prince and the king of Qin have come to this point", how can Li Yuan not waver?

"I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Li Yuan muttered these two words, his gaze was extremely confused, he looked at the blood stains on Wei Chigong's body, is that the blood of the crown prince and the king of Chu?

It would have been nice if I had made the King of Qin the crown prince earlier.

If......

There are no ifs.

Li Yuan had hallucinations in front of his eyes, he seemed to see Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji when they were young, then Li Shimin, and finally they fell in a pool of blood.

The old ministers who accompanied Li Yuan looked at each other, everything was over, Pei Lin was a little dazed, when Luo Xuanye appeared, he still had a trace of luck, but now everything has failed.

The crown prince is dead.

But the matter is not really over yet, Luo Xuanye immediately said: "Your Majesty, there must still be people in the remnants of the East Palace who are unrepentant and resisting, please order Your Majesty to let the forbidden army obey the orders of the King of Qin, so as to prevent the remnants of the East Palace from rebelling." ”

It's a reason, but it's not perfect, but the situation is now, what else is there to say?

If he were a king with a strong personality, he would definitely refuse this proposal, but Li Yuan was not, he was essentially a noble son, and he had not changed much since he was old.

He willingly let Wei Chigong take this edict away, and then under the protection of Luo Xuanye, he went to the main hall and waited for Li Shimin.

……

Li Shimin finally met Li Yuan.

In that temple that was very dark, in that temple where there was no light, there was not even a candle flame.

Gloomy, damp.

After a bloody killing, father and son finally meet.

Li Yuan thought that he would meet a heroic and cold rebellious person, but Li Shimin took off his armor and wore only a crown robe, and when he saw Li Yuan, he knelt directly on the ground.

"My son is too late to save the car, please ask my father to condemn him!"

Li Shimin knelt, there were countless complex emotions surging in Li Yuan's eyes, and at this moment, he had to admit that this son of his was unbelievably good in every aspect.

Once again, he began to regret why he did not make the king of Qin the crown prince.

He beckoned, Li Shimin knelt forward on his knees and knelt in front of Li Yuan, Li Yuan touched Li Shimin's head, trembled and said softly: "King Qin, you have done a good job, if it weren't for you, you would have let the traitors make trouble." ”

Li Shimin immediately cried bitterly, Pingyang cried with him, and the hall suddenly resounded with crying one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The left and right retreated, leaving only Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son facing each other.

The father and son separated, Li Yuan took two steps back tremblingly, he looked at Li Shimin, and finally burst out his emotions, crying bitterly: "Erlang, Erlang." ”

Li Shimin fell to the ground, and he heard Li Yuan's painful voice, as well as the words that contained endless sadness.

Li Yuan sobbed and said: "My brother-in-law experienced such a thing back then, and now I have also experienced such a thing, I killed Da Lang and Shiro.

Is this the result of the ordination of the heavens?

Since ancient times, has the heavenly family really had no family affection?

If I had known this, I would rather be a rich man. ”

Li Shimin said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty!

Father!

Father! ”

One voice is higher than another, just like the mood in Li Shimin's heart now.

Li Yuan muttered: "It's my fault, it's my fault, I can't make mistakes again, I can't make mistakes again, whatever you want, I'll give you and give you anything." ”

In the dark, almost lightless temple, only the voices of father and son remained.

……

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin, who wiped away his tears, walked out, his steps were still steady, with an aura of not being angry and arrogant on his face, and he was holding the edict that Li Yuan had just issued to him in his hand.

Now the entire palace is under his control.

In the Tang Dynasty, King Qin controlled the palace and controlled Chang'an.

If you control Chang'an, you will control Guanzhong.

If you control Guanzhong, you will control the world.

As soon as Li Shimin walked out, the group surrounded him and walked forward until they walked outside the hall.

"King Qin, it's dawn!"

In the cloudy sky, the gloom gradually dispersed, and everyone thought it would rain, but they didn't expect it to be clear, just like the heavens also knew to celebrate Li Shimin.

It's dawn!

When Li Shimin heard this, his heart was suddenly touched, yes, it's dawn, everything in the past is like a dream, no matter how dark it used to be, it is dawn now.

Li Shimin shook the edict in his hand, which gave Li Shimin the power to control all the military power in the palace and Chang'an, as well as the power of the real Twelve Guards generals.

He is now able to control the world's soldiers, both in practice and in name.

Justifiably.

Something he's been after.

……

The incident that happened in Xuanwumen quickly spread all over Chang'an City, and not many people talked about it, after all, this matter was very taboo, but not many people criticized Li Shimin.

Because even though they didn't believe that it was the crown prince and the king of Chu who rebelled, they all believed in one thing, that is, the prince and the king of Chu wanted to murder the king of Qin, and the king of Qin was just forced to fight back.

There is really a scale in the hearts of people, and the difficult situation of King Qin has long been spread everywhere among the people.

Therefore, not many people regret the deaths of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, Li Shimin himself is under heavy pressure, but in fact, outsiders' evaluation of him is not so.

Obtaining all the military power was not an end, and only two or three days later, Li Yuan officially issued an edict.

"Edict: The weight of the storage position, the social Ji bears, the establishment of the storage position, and the cooperation of all countries.

Admiral Tiance, Taiwei, Situ, Shang Shuling, Shaanxi Dongdao Daxing Tai Shang Shuling, Yongzhou Mu, Yangzhou Governor, Sixteen Wei Generals, Zhongshu Ling, Shangzhu State, Qin Wang Shimin, Organ Chong Yuan, Grand Dream, Virtue and Virtue, Prestige and Prosperity, Position and Interior, I Belong to the Will, Both the Government and the Opposition See, It is appropriate to inherit the country, and can be established as the crown prince. ”

The decree to canonize Li Shimin as the crown prince soon arrived in the palace of the Qin Dynasty, and at the same time, the decree of the crown prince Li Shimin to supervise the country was also issued at the same time.

"Edict: Order the prince Shimin to supervise the country, military affairs, and the ministry of the three provinces, and let him decide, and then report it."

Clear-eyed people know that when this decree is made, Li Yuan is the real son of light, completely in name only, and then reported it, which is just a lie.

By this point, Li Shimin had become de facto at the helm of this empire, a coup d'état, and this was the result.

Li Shimin entered the East Palace, and all the official positions were no longer needed, and the people of the Qin Palace's palace entered the East Palace one after another, Fang Du, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chigong, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and others all had new official positions in the East Palace.

"Li Jiancheng's old man, what is the prince going to do with it?"

In the East Palace, Li Shimin looked at the clear blue sky with his hands, and Luo Xuanye was in a position behind him and asked.

"Forgive them."

Li Shimin really said the answer that Luo Xuanye knew he would definitely say, Li Shimin said softly: "Don't let Datang fall into a civil war, this is my wish, forgive them, just like I once forgave my enemies."

What is there to worry about?

I know that there are many talented people among them, is Qingyang willing to go and let them submit to me? ”

Luo Xuanye smiled warmly: "Prince, you have a mind that is taller than Mount Tai and broader than the sea, which is enough to accommodate all the mountains and rivers in the world.

No one will surrender to you, as is everything that has been experienced in the past. ”

Li Shimin slowly stretched out his arms, "Qingyang, it's so warm, what will the future look like?" ”

Luo Xuanye smiled slightly, "I don't know what the future will look like, because I can't imagine how brilliant it will be, but there is one person who knows." ”

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Luo Xuanye and asked with a smile, "Who is it?" I'll definitely bring him here. ”

Luo Xuanye chuckled, "Of course it's Gong Wen Ancestor, he may have been waiting for this day for a long time." ”

Wen Gong.

Hearing the answer, Li Shimin was stunned.

It turned out to be Gong Wen.

It turned out to be Gong Wen.

Really...... It's Wen Gong.

The information left by the Xuanwumen Revolution is abundant, and those detailed dialogues show us the mental journey of those who witnessed it, and provide an explanation for the motives of each action, which is no longer worth exploring, whether it is the generals of the Qin Palace, or those staff members who are wise through the sky, the roles played in this are all supporting roles, what is Li Shimin's real thoughts in his heart, and what impact does it have on him?

"He shot that arrow decisively, the clouds shrouded in Datang were torn apart, and the dazzling light sprinkled down, shining on his body, putting on gold armor for him, Datang also entered that high-spirited era, as for those shadows and regrets, all remained in the Wude years, accompanied by the dust of the times." ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Tang Empire"
