Chapter 255: Li Yuan's Helplessness (Third Update)
Li Mi's sudden death made Li Jiancheng and Da Zhi panic, and in the face of Wang Shichong, Da Zhi was originally a master who was not inferior to Wang Shichong, but Li Mi's sudden death made him feel uneasy, and he fell behind from the beginning......
At this time, the north gate of the Yeting Palace behind him also opened again, and a large number of people poured in from outside, led by Wei Chigong, and the eldest Sun Wuji and other Li Shimin's henchmen from Tiance Mansion were readily available!
Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng was almost terrified, he understood that he had been defeated, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, retreat into the Xuanwu Gate!"
Nearly a thousand Praetorian Guards and Da Zhi rushed to the Xuanwu Gate, scrambling for fear of being killed by Li Shimin's army behind them!
The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in running in front of Li Shimin, and was relieved to see that he was safe and sound, and Wang Shichong was chasing Li Jiancheng with hundreds of Praetorian Guards at this time, and Wei Chigong had already led the army to rush over!
Li Shimin shouted: "Jingde, you must take the Xuanwu Gate!" Yu Chi Gong's tower-like body was shocked, and he shouted: "The King of Qin has an order, you must take the Xuanwu Gate!
The army agreed violently, and Shi Fan watched this scene in the distance, knowing that Li Jiancheng was basically finished, no matter how unwilling he was, he would not have the power to return to heaven at this time, once the Xuanwu Gate was lost, including Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, it was estimated that there would be no good end......
Now it depends on whether Li Shimin will keep his promise...... Hey, there should be results tomorrow, you have to go back and talk to Li Jing!" Shi Fan muttered to himself, and then his figure flew out silently and ran out of the city......
......
Sure enough, as Shi Fan thought, after the fierce generals of the Tiance Mansion joined the battle, the masters around Li Jiancheng couldn't resist the impact of a large group of masters, and the Xuanwu Gate also fell into the hands of Li Shimin......
When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who had a dead face, were captured alive and thrown in front of Li Shimin, Li Yuanji was scared and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Second brother, I ...... I was forced by my eldest brother, and my heart is actually towards you...... Second brother, second brother......"
When Li Jiancheng heard this, he looked at the third brother who gave him advice at that time as if he couldn't believe it, as if he had just met him, at this time, Da Zhi and the others had already been ambushed, and all the dust had settled, Li Jiancheng didn't want to wag his tail and beg for mercy like his third brother at this time, just closed his eyes and waited for his younger brother to fall.

Li Shimin was obviously a little hesitant at this time, after all, he was a brother whose blood was thicker than water, and he was obviously a little unable to do anything when it came to the current situation......
And the eldest grandson Wuji and the others were silent, they knew very well that outsiders had better not intervene in this kind of brotherly discord.
Just when Li Shimin hesitated, a sergeant suddenly came to report: "His Royal Highness King Qin, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!" At this time, naturally only Li Xiuning can come, now she has already married a wife, married to Chai Shao of the Chai family, today's situation, she also expected it, and entered the palace early to accompany Li Yuan......
Now that he came at this time, it was obvious that Li Yuan had learned the news outside the palace, and wanted Li Xiuning to save his two sons, who were also his sons, and Li Yuan really didn't want to hear the news of his death......
"Second brother!" Li Xiuning is now a little less heroic and a little more graceful and charming, and took a deep look at Jiancheng and the third brother Yuanji, who were waiting for death with their eyes closed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Second brother, my father's will has come down, abolish the eldest brother's crown prince and the third brother's throne of Qi, and want the second brother to spare their lives......"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, at this time he really had no killing intent in his heart, and he didn't want to kill his brother and younger brother, after all, it was different from the original situation, in the original book, Li Yuan ruled the world, and the brothers were for the honor of the Ninety-Five, and in the face of the battle for imperial power, there was no room for mercy!
But now the situation is different, Li Tang is already in the remnants of the West Mountain, and Li Jing's army has come to the city, in this case, Li Shimin's trip is just to protect himself, but he is unwilling to kill his two brothers......
"Xiuning, father, how is he?"
Li Xiuning said gloomily: "My father is in the imperial study, he ...... He's waiting for the second brother to go!"
Li Shimin's face was complicated and said: "Things have become like this, no one can imagine it!, just take the eldest brother and the third brother down, take them to the palace first, don't wronged my eldest brother and third brother!"
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he also understood Li Shimin's thoughts, so he asked Fang Xuanling to take a team of soldiers to press the two of them away...... Li Shimin went to the imperial study with Li Xiuning......
Li Shimin and Li Xiuning stepped into the imperial study, Li Yuan was sitting behind the imperial case in a daze, Li Xiuning said: "Father, the second brother is here, ......", and then gently closed the door for him outside, leaving only Li Shimin and Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sitting behind the dragon table.
Li Yuan's consciousness had not fully recovered, his face was pale, and under the reflection of the vast space of the study, it not only made him even more lonely and desolate, but also made him seem to have suddenly aged for many years.
He silently watched Li Shimin approach, and asked in a deep voice, "Completed?Yuanji?" Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Erchen spared their lives and temporarily brought them to the Qin Palace......
Li Yuan's body trembled, he stood up, moved his hand to the back window, and said with his back to Li Shimin: "Li Yuan has not thanked King Qin's subordinates for their mercy. ”
Li Shimin walked to the dragon table and stopped, and sighed: "Father...... I ......" Li Shimin couldn't go on, looking at Li Yuan's gray temples, he couldn't help but choke a little......
Li Yuan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "How do you rectify the endgame. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he straightened his emotions and said gloomily: "Now that the general trend has gone, Tongguan has been lost today, and Li Jing's army is less than thirty miles away from Chang'an City...... Father, we have no choice! Surrender, at least we can save the family!"
Li Yuan turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes were shining, and he said coldly: "The merit is not easy to come by, and you are willing to give up easily?"
Li Shimin said in amazement: "If the king becomes a king or loses Kou, the sons have no choice! But there is a chance, and the sons don't want the foundation of our Li family to be handed over! But, father, we are at the end of the road, and there is no one in the world who can stop Kou Zhong's army, and Shi Fan is unswervingly supporting Kou Zhong, and we have no chance......
Li Yuan's complexion softened, and he sighed: "Shimin, you have always had a unique vision and are extremely sophisticated in handling things! It's not that my father doesn't believe in your judgment, it's just that this Tang Dynasty is the strength of my Li family for more than ten generations to have today's achievements, so if you hand it over, how can you and I see the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs?"
Li Shimin was silent, how could he be willing, but whenever he wanted to find a chance, he remembered the huge sword mark in Luoyang City, which made him sigh in vain......
"That's it, tomorrow you will go out of the city to discuss the surrender, I am tired of my father, go and rest first......" Li Yuan sighed as if he was ten years old, he knew very well that if he continued to resist stubbornly, it would only increase the casualties in vain, since he calmed down, he clearly knew that Li Yuanji's strategy was a joke at all, and for today's plan, the only way to save the Li family is to try to save it......
