Chapter 241: The Dust Has Settled, King Qin Wins!
When Qin Tian was about to go out, he was surprised to find that the entire Chang'an City seemed to be strictly forbidden.
It was clear that it was broad daylight, but there were soldiers everywhere, and no one was allowed to come and go at will.
If there is any dissatisfaction, they will be directly arrested by the soldiers.
Qin Tian frowned slightly, his divine sense was instantly released, and it only took a moment to understand what was going on.
He saw the strong man who had come to borrow clothes the day before, although his appearance had changed, his aura would not change.
Qin Tian saw that someone called him Wei Chi Jingde, and his heart suddenly understood.
I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to be able to see the beginning and end of the development of the Xuanwu Gate with my own eyes!
The person in front of Wei Chi Jingde was a nobleman who looked personable, and Qin Tian quickly recognized that that person was Li Shimin.
I didn't expect Li Shimin in reality to look like this, quite a bit like a rich swinger.
At this time, Li Shimin led the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Wenshi, Qin Shubao and others into the court and ran quickly.
At this time, the defense force of the DPRK and China had basically been taken over by Li Shimin, so he laid an ambush at Xuanwu Gate.
At this time, Li Jiancheng received the news that his younger brother actually sued him for messing with the harem, and his father was preparing to summon them to the court to meet!
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji therefore planned strategies privately.
Li Yuanji thinks that there is something strange about things, and there seems to be some rumors outside now, so he should not take the initiative to go out for the time being.
Now you should be at home, take precautions, and wait for your father to personally send someone to come, and it will be delayed to make preparations.
Therefore, he suggested that Li Jiancheng should not be sick.
Li Jiancheng doesn't think so.
The capital is well guarded, and now there is only Li Shimin who threatens him, Li Shimin's right-hand man is gone, and the military power has also been taken by himself, what else can he do?
Of course, Li Jiancheng won't care.
Even if Li Shimin wants to start an incident, those people will definitely have something to do, and he will definitely not fail to receive any news!
You know, he is the crown prince of the East Palace, if Li Shimin is ready to make a mess and he doesn't receive any news, wouldn't it be too funny.
Li Yuanji also felt that what Li Jiancheng said made sense, so he didn't take it to heart.
Just to be on the safe side, they still brought a lot of people with them before going out.
At the same time, Li Yuan was driving a boat in the Linhu Palace.
To be honest, he didn't take Li Shimin's lawsuit against his two brothers to heart at all.
Wouldn't it be too outrageous to say that the two of them messed up the harem?
No one will believe that!
But if you really want to say it, there must be people from Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the harem.
Don't he know who those concubines said good things to when they were sleeping?
Don't say it's the two of them, doesn't even Li Shimin have his own eyeliner in this harem?
Everyone just knew it.
Li Yuan still plans to be the same as before, and he is muddy, and he will fool this matter over.
He was really reluctant to let go of the power in his hands.
If he wasn't so indecisive, if he was willing to give up his position early, if he ......
Naturally, there will be no such thing as today.
It's a pity that there is no if in the world, and today Li Yuan has eaten the bitter fruit of his indecision.
It didn't take long for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to come to the Linhu Palace.
As soon as they stepped inside, the two of them immediately noticed the change.
The guards here were all strangers, and they were very vigilant, not at all like they used to be.
Especially after they saw Li Shimin, they immediately turned their horses' heads and prepared to return to the East Palace and the Qi Palace.
Who will sue the man who rides in armor?
Seeing Li Shimin like this, if he doesn't run, he will be a fool!
Li Jiancheng is also a revenant.
How dare he? How did he do it?!
Countless questions are entangled in Li Jiancheng's heart, but no one is destined to be able to answer his questions.
If he leaves now, Li Jiancheng still has a chance of life.
He has military power in his hands, and the East Palace also has enough defensive power, so he only needs to return to the East Palace, and he will naturally be able to resist Li Shimin's attack!
Li Jiancheng concluded that Li Shimin did not have too many soldiers and horses in his hands, and once he couldn't catch up with him, when he returned to the East Palace to get ready, then Li Shimin would definitely be defeated!
There is no doubt that Li Jiancheng's sense of smell is very keen, and his judgment is correct.
Seeing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji turn around and run, Li Shimin was also a little confused.
He didn't expect that the vigilance of these two people was really high, and they didn't even have the slightest hesitation!
Li Shimin shouted after Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, and took the lead in opening his bow and arrows and starting to shoot.
Li Yuanji had long been suspicious, and naturally he also had weapons and equipment on his body, and when he saw this, he hurriedly opened his bow and shot at Li Shimin.
But at this time, several people were galloping on horseback, and Li Yuanji was being chased, so he was very anxious, and he didn't shoot Li Shimin two or three times in a row.
The arrow feather passed by Li Shimin's side.
It was the man behind him who was shot.
By the fourth shot, Li Yuanji finally hit.
However, with mental calculation or not, whether it was Li Shimin or the people behind him, they were all wearing armor, and the arrow feathers could not penetrate their armor at all.
On the contrary, it was Li Shimin who shot arrows with a bow, and the two sides went back and forth, shooting continuously.
In this kind of running, the hit rate of arrows is not very high.
But Li Shimin only needs to hit once.
Finally, Li Jiancheng was affected by the arrow feather and immediately fell off the horse.
Falling off such a high-speed horse, naturally there is not much way to live.
Seeing that the two sides were chasing after me, Wei Chigong also led more than 70 cavalry to arrive one after another.
He was still wearing the clothes that Qin Tian saw yesterday, and the time was urgent, and he didn't even have a complete armor on his body.
And the soldiers around Wei Chigong shot Li Yuanji with arrows.
Unlike Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji is still wearing armor such as chain mail in his clothes.
He didn't expect that this kind of caution would actually save him at this time.
Li Yuanji fell off his horse, but he didn't give up, he actually stood in place, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and hit Li Shimin's mount with one arrow!
The horses rushed straight forward with Li Shimin by inertia.
When the horses fell, Li Shimin naturally couldn't get up.
Li Yuanji knew that success or failure lay in this move, so he quickly rushed towards Li Shimin, holding a long knife and slashing straight at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's soul was in a hurry, a lazy donkey rolled, and he could dodge, but he still had colors on his body.
Li Shimin is not an ordinary person, and he seized the opportunity to struggle to climb out from under the horse, and shot the long knife in Li Yuanji's hand to the ground.
The two quickly got together.
At this time, it is too late to snatch the long knife in hand-to-hand combat.
So Li Yuanji simply strangled Li Shimin's neck with the longbow in his hand, preparing to strangle him to death.
Just when Li Yuanji was about to succeed, Wei Chigong and the others arrived at the horse.
Li Yuanji knew that he had lost the best opportunity to kill Li Shimin, and if he didn't leave, he would really have to die in the hands of Li Shimin.
Li Yuanji hurriedly let go of Li Shimin, and wanted to quickly run into the Wude Hall to seek Li Yuan's refuge.
Li Shimin knelt on the side and retched, he was almost killed by Li Yuanji.
Seeing Li Shimin waving his hand towards him, Wei Chigong suddenly understood, chased after him on horseback, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and actually shot Li Yuanji with one arrow!
At the same time, the battle outside the palace was fierce.
Feng Li, the general of the Donggong Yiwei chariot cavalry, Xue Wanche, the deputy guard, and Xie Shufang, the left chariot rider of Qu Zhifu, also reacted very quickly.
After receiving the news, they quickly led two thousand elite soldiers and horses from the East Palace and the Qi Palace, and galloped to the Xuanwu Gate.
Li Shimin had already prepared here, and Zhang Gongjin and the eldest grandson Wuji and other nine people were ambushed in Xuanwu Gate.
Seeing the army coming, they naturally knew that they were powerless to resist, and at the critical moment, Zhang Gongjin had great arm strength, and he actually closed the gate alone, blocking Feng Li and others.
"The East Palace is in turmoil, and the rest of the party is not wiped out quickly!"
The eldest grandson Wuji shouted loudly.
At this time, the general guarding the Xuanwu Gate was General Yunlu Jing Junhong.
He was originally a general, and he always wanted to get ahead, and he was already half of Li Shimin's person before, so he naturally knew when to come out.
So he and Zhonglang took the lead in going out to meet the enemy.
It's just a pity that they seem to be overestimating their combat effectiveness.
Originally, I just wanted to mix up my background, but I didn't think about it but I died on the spot.
However, this also bought Li Shimin a lot of time.
Moreover, the commander had an order, and the soldiers guarding the Xuanwu Gate had to fight hard with Xue Wanche and others in the East Palace.
After all, the guards on the Xuanwu Gate side were in the minority, and the longer the war continued, the greater their disadvantage.
Seeing that Xue Wanche was beating drums and shouting, and he was willing to break through the defense line at any time, Wei Chigong finally arrived at the horse.
He held the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in his hand and shouted loudly: "The crown prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, have been ambushed, and they will be captured quickly!" β
Discovering their master's mobile phone, the people of the East Palace and the Qi Palace's Mansion lost their fighting spirit and quickly dispersed.
Xue Wanche, Feng Li and others took advantage of the chaos and fled.
The people arranged by Li Shimin are interlocked, and there are almost no loopholes.
Except for some accidents when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were killed, everything else was in Li Shimin's plan.
After pacifying the chaos outside the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin himself led people to appease the officials in the palace, collected all the power for his own use, and took back his military power.
After Wei Chigong disposed of the corpses of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he was arranged by Li Shimin to be a guard by Li Yuan.
At the time of the coup, Li Yuan was rowing on the sea pool in the Linhu Palace.
Hearing the movement outside, Li Yuan was shocked.
He wanted to go out to check the situation, but found that he didn't know when, the people around him had also become Li Shimin's people!
He was trapped in this lakeside hall, and he couldn't even get out!
Li Yuan was cold.
He never imagined that his indulgence would lead to the results he has today!
Li Yuan didn't expect that his son would be so decisive and brazenly launch a coup d'Γ©tat!
Li Yuan has a relative, could it be that today is the time when he dies?
His mind was a mess.
He didn't want his sons to kill each other, but he didn't want to hand over the rights in his hands directly.
He has only been the emperor for a few days, and he hasn't been enough yet, so how can he hand it over?
For a while, Li Yuan didn't even know what to do or what to say.
No matter what he says or does now, it's actually useless.
Until Wei Chigong was wearing armor and holding Changyu to Linhu Palace.
Wei Chigong didn't even want to show his respect, he actually went straight to the boat where Li Yuan was.
Li Yuan was suddenly shocked.
He recognized Wei Chigong, and naturally knew that he was Li Shimin's subordinate.
Could it be that Li Shimin has won, and this is to kill himself?
Li Yuan forcibly calmed down and said, "Who is the person who made trouble today?" What is Aiqing doing here?"
Seeing this, Wei Chigong hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Because the crown prince and the king of Qi were in rebellion, His Royal Highness the King of Qin raised troops to kill them. β
"King Qin...... His Royal Highness the King of Qin was worried about alarming His Majesty, so he sent his ministers to serve as guards. β
Li Yuan looked at the people around him and said helplessly: "There is such a thing today, what should I do now?"
The ministers around Li Yuan glanced at each other, and then Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda took the lead in standing up and said, "The crown prince and the king of Qi did not participate in the anti-Sui Dynasty policy in the first place, and the two of them have not made contributions to the world. β
"Today's events are only because they are jealous of King Qin's great merit and prestige."
"Fortunately, now, King Qin has pacified the chaos, so King Qin's achievements cover the universe and the heart of the world."
"In Weichen's opinion...... Your Majesty should appoint the King of Qin as the crown prince......"
Li Yuan knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
To put it bluntly, this is fighting for the position of prince.
Since Li Shimin is now the prince he wants, it means that he will not do anything to him.
In this way, his life must be worry-free, and since this is the case, Li Yuan's hanging letter is also half down.
The brotherly wall certainly made him very sad, but in front of his own life, those seemed to be less important.
"In this way, I will do what I want."
Those people praised again and again.
But Li Yuan never expected that Li Shimin was still not satisfied with this.
"Entrust the affairs of the state to the crown prince, so that there will be no more incidents."
Just now he was asking for the position of the prince, and now he is forcing him Li Yuan to abdicate!
It couldn't be simpler to appoint Li Shimin as the prince.
Of course, Li Yuan didn't have any pressure.
He can be asked to surrender his rights...... Li Yuan was silent.
"In this way, I also want to do what I want."
Li Yuan replied bitterly.
If he doesn't agree......
Li Yuan looked at the sea pool in the Linhu Hall and smiled helplessly.
I'm afraid that I will fall into the water and die today.
Li Shimin even did such a thing as persecuting his brother, and then carried the name of killing his father, what could he do?
At this time, the battle between the Su Guards and the soldiers and horses of the Qin Palace's Mansion and the East Palace and the Qi Palace's Mansion was not over.
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Wei Chigong was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Gaozu to issue a handwritten edict, ordering all armies to accept the disposal of the King of Qin and end all rebellions.
Li Yuan glanced at the people around him, and sighed helplessly.
"I ...... Why is that? β
None of the Manchu ministers spoke.
It's not because you're too indecisive, or you wouldn't be what you are now.
If Li Yuan had made a decision earlier, the ministers of the court would not have been forced to choose a prince to take sides.
The current situation is completely caused by Li Yuan's own fault.
