It was dark at night, but the palace was still brightly lit. ± top novel,

Armoured sergeants patrolled the palace vigilantly, and the ministers gathered in the palace.

Tomorrow is the last day, Li Shimin wants to give an explanation to the eldest grandson Wuji, although Wu Yuan said very calmly, but if Li Shimin really refuses, then will he go on a killing spree?

Li Shimin sat calmly on the first seat, although his eyes were red, he still maintained the demeanor of the emperor, and the ministers stood aside with their hands tied, waiting for Li Shimin's decision.

Wu Yuan's condition was that the eldest grandson Wujian entered the palace under the name of Wu Meiniang and was named the queen, and then handed over the military and political power to the eldest grandson Wujian to control, and five years later, Li Shimin abdicated, and the eldest grandson Wujian became the empress as Wu Meiniang.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is still room for redemption, after the eldest grandson Wujian enters the palace, Li Shimin treats her a little better, maybe she can save her heart, and everything can be discussed at that time, and there is also Li Chengqian, that is the child of the eldest grandson Wuji, and in the future, he can still inherit the throne.

But after thinking about it a little, you know that this is impossible, the biggest problem is that Wu Youdao and the eldest grandson Wujian have a personal relationship, and the two have already lived in everything - the news from the informant in the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, Wu Yuan and Empress Wende are intimate, and they still live together at night, will Wu Yuan let the eldest grandson Wujian return to Li Shimin's arms, and then be willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head?

Of course not, look at what Wu Yuan did later, this person's character is very strong, he let the eldest grandson Wujian enter the palace is just an expedient measure, even if the eldest grandson Wujian still has old feelings for Li Shimin, he can't show it, once it is discovered. That would be a great calamity.

"I've decided. ”

Li Shimin let out a long breath. Said.

"Not only will I not abdicate. On the contrary, the matter will be announced to the world, and the eldest grandson's family will cause trouble to the world with Taoism, but the name of Wu Yuan will not be mentioned. I thought about this matter very clearly, Wu Yuan had his scruples if he didn't do anything, otherwise with the plan of the eldest grandson's family, he would not let me go so easily.

Since there are immortals and providence, then I want to see it. Don't worry, I'm here to bear it. ”

Li Shimin said categorically, he was not the Emperor of Taiping, he dared to lead more than 30 cavalry to attack the 300,000 army, and now he doesn't care about Wu Yuan's anger.

Because he can't go back!

Four hundred years ago, Sun Quan faced the pressure of Cao Cao's army, and Lu Su would have the right to ask Cao Gong to want to go east, and discussed with the generals, all of whom persuaded the right to welcome him, and Su Du did not say anything. Right to change clothes. Chase after the universe, and know what it means. Su said: "What do you want to say?" Su said: "To check the opinions of the people, I want to mistake the general, and I am not enough to do big things." Today, Su can meet the ears, such as a general, not also. How can you say that? Today, Su Yingcao, Cao should be used to pay back to the township party, and his name and position will not be lost, and he will not lose his work, take the calf car, follow the officials, and hand over the Shilin, and the tired officials will not lose the state and county. The general welcomes the exercise, and wants to return in peace? The original plan was already made, and the discussion of the people should not be used. ”

This is also Li Shimin's situation now, if he orders to surrender, then what will be the result?

His eyes glanced at the ministers seated, most of them with impassioned expressions on their faces, but some of them showed a sense of loss. Keeping those people in mind, but Li Shimin doesn't think that people who perform well are loyal people, and the reason why everyone was with him back then was because they had a better future, but now ......

Shaking his head slightly, Li Shimin began to tell everyone what to do, and soon after, the ministers retreated one after another, and at this time, only Li Shentong and Li Xiuning were left in the room.

The only people he can trust and have the ability to trust now are these two people, they are both members of the Li family, after Wu Yuan comes to power, he will not treat the Li family well, I believe they also understand this and will stand firmly by his side.

"Uncle Shentong, what is the attitude of Buddhism now?"

Wu Yuan's enemy is Buddhism, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen are masters like clouds, Li Shimin has not been idle in the past three days, contacting the masters of Buddhism as quickly as possible.

"The masters of Cihang Jingzhai are coming, but it takes time, and the same is true of Jingnian Zen. ”

"That's good, I'll bet on it for a few days to see if Wu Yuan dares to kill me. I am the Son of Heaven today, if he dares to kill me, the world will be in chaos, and when the time comes, we will see what will be done. If he really wants to kill me, he doesn't need to say so much, it seems that there are key points that I didn't think of, maybe because I am the Son of Heaven and the body of a true dragon, so he is just bluffing. ”

Li Shimin said calmly, he needed to make Li Xiuning and Li Shentong feel at ease.

"Of course, Princess Changle is also in Cihang Jingzhai, she will return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and I hope she can persuade Wujian as a buffer, Wu Yuan is invincible, but it doesn't mean that he has no weaknesses. ”

Li Xiuning said Li Shimin's other plan, and then at this time, Li Shimin suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

"Tea is poisonous!"

He hurriedly said to the two of them, and at the same time found that the true qi was rapidly dissipating.

"I know. ”

It was Li Xiuning who spoke, she stared at her brother, and then said, "I gave the poison." ”

"What?"

I thought it was someone around me who did it, but I didn't expect it to be Li Xiuning, staring at Li Shentong who was standing expressionless not far away, Li Shimin's heart was cold.

These two people are the people he trusts the most, and they actually betrayed him at the same time?

"Uncle Shentong, you and Li Xiuning have joined forces to kill me, in order to get a wealth from Wu Yuan?"

When Li Shimin spoke, he pressed the hidden alarm bell with his palm, but none of the guards who should have rushed in immediately appeared.

"Shimin, Zixi is already on my side, and the guards were transferred away by him just now. You are alone now, and when you decide to fight against Wu Yuan, no one wants to stand by your side anymore. ”

Zixi is the new head of Ouchi, a descendant of the Li family, and Li Shentong's cousin.

"Good, good...... Uncle Shentong, I can understand that you abandoned me for your own glory and wealth, but what about Xiuning? I am your second brother, and you actually killed me with these people, why? Are you also for glory and wealth?"

Li Shimin said coldly, staring at his most trusted sister.

"Before Wu Yuan entered Beijing, I met with him. That's right. Don't call me anything else. I feel nauseous. Glory and riches, these things are not uncommon. ”

Li Xiuning said softly, looking at Li Shimin's eyes full of coldness, "He asked me one thing, why did I kill you before?"

"You were going to kill me before?"

Li Shimin frowned, as if he didn't quite know what was going on.

"Wu Yuan and I met on Luoshui, and we happened to meet Shang Xiufang, and after she played a pipa, Wu Yuan wrote a pipa line for him. And then the two of them made a good story, and before that, you had secretly ordered me to send Shang Xiufang to the palace after meeting her, right?"

"Yes, there is such a thing. ”

"Back then, my father was killed by Bai Qing'er's daughter-in-law**, and almost lost his life, if it wasn't for Ssangyong's help, my father would have died at that time, and what you don't know is. Shang Xiufang also learned to be a girl**, and her goal is you.

She went to Chang'an City to beg you to spare Wan Wan. I don't think you'll let Wan Wan go, I just want to get your idea, and then use the girl ** to take your life. You asked her to enter the palace at that time, but she refused, the reason is that her character is not the kind of weak person, and entering the palace rashly will arouse your suspicions, so she returned to Luoyang after begging you to no avail, she saw through you and knew that you would take her into the palace later, and then you naturally would not have any suspicions, and she could take your life.

The intermediary in this middle is me, I will arrest her into the palace, if you die, I will naturally be implicated, and Wan Wan can escape the encirclement. Shang Xiufang planned very well, she went to the painting boat with a heart of revenge on me, but she didn't know, in fact, I already knew that she practiced the girl**. ”

"Why did you kill me?"

Li Xiuning knew that Shang Xiufang had become a maid, but when Shang Xiufang arrived in Chang'an, he did not remind Li Shimin that if Wu Yuan hadn't stepped in later, Li Shimin would have died of Shang Xiufang's maiden**.

"Why did you kill you, then I ask you, why did you kill your father, the eldest brother and the third brother?"

Li Xiuning took a long breath and asked, "I can understand that you killed the eldest brother and the third brother, but then what about you? You killed all the children of the eldest brother and the third brother, even the baby in the swaddling clothes!"

Some of the children were only a few years old, and I hugged them when I was a child, and they called me aunt, and they played around me, but you gave them all to death, and left not one of them! By the way, I forgot to mention that you also included the wives and concubines of the eldest brother and the third brother in the palace.

How did I persuade you? But how did you respond?"

"You persuaded me, I didn't agree, but if you try harder......"

Li Shimin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Xiuning.

"Yes, I didn't die like the civil officials in the history books, and I didn't mobilize all the relationships to beg you to let those children go, because I can't persuade you anymore, because if you continue to persuade you, you will even kill me, you killed the eldest brother and the third brother, and you don't care about killing me more!"

Li Xiuning said coldly, "I looked at your cold eyes, my heart was already cold at that time, and my father who later cultivated as a grandmaster fell ill and died, do you dare to say that there is no credit for you?"

That's your real father, what is he sorry for you? You imprisoned him in the palace, can he be reinstated?"

"So, you're determined to kill me?"

"And Kou Zhong, he is as kind to you as a mountain, how did you treat him? eldest brother and third brother, their children, father, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling...... With so many people, do you think I have a good reason?"

"Very full, very good. ”

Li Shimin let out a long sigh in despair, and Li Xiuning's reply calmed him down.

"So after Wu Yuan saw you, you became one of his members?"

"Yes. ”

Li Xiuning's eyes were filled with pity, looking at Li Shimin, who had entered the end of the road.

"It was the eldest grandson Wujian who discovered Shang Xiufang's flaws at the beginning, she told Wu Yuan about it, and after I answered Wu Yuan's question, he showed his cultivation.

Since he is so powerful, I naturally want to cooperate with him, I can't figure it out, why didn't he just kill you, and then let someone else succeed him, because this is what I discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji, and the two of us think that killing you is not good, it will make the world chaotic.

We know your character, you won't surrender, but it doesn't matter, that's what we want, your resolute refusal to surrender.

The stability and prosperity of the Tang Empire comes from the loyalty of those ministers and famous generals, if we kill you rashly, they will naturally not cooperate, but if you die yourself, you still have to take them to die together?

The premise of their loyalty to you is to be able to ensure the safety and prosperity of their families, and now, if you want them to fight to the death with Wu Yuan, how many people do you think will be on your side?

Your non-cooperation has consumed their loyalty, and Wu Yuan's strength has given them the strongest deterrent, all of this has come naturally, just like Uncle Shentong, after seeing Wu Yuan's strength and getting his promise, Uncle Shentong naturally stood on our side. ”

"You are all members of the Li family, do you really think that after Wu Yuan ascends to the throne, he will let the Li family go?"

Li Shimin said coldly.

"I don't know, but it's better than dying with you immediately, since the Li family thinks so, what about those ministers? Don't worry, we have arranged the road for you. ”：

"What do you want to do?"

Li Shimin stared at Li Xiuning and asked.

"Wu Yuan said before that he wanted to enter the palace under the pseudonym Wu Meiniang and become your queen, but if you didn't agree, you were ready to tear your face. In this case, then it is enough to change the emperor. Father has many children and grandchildren, choose one to become the current son of heaven, inherit your throne, Wujian only wants the position of empress, and you have completed your task.

An emperor who doesn't know how to advance or retreat will naturally be abandoned by everyone, but second brother, don't worry, I won't kill you, after you abdicate, I believe you can understand your father's mood back then. ”

Glancing at Li Shimin deeply, Li Xiuning stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Shimin's sea of qi, this blow completely destroyed his true qi.

From the very beginning, Li Shimin had no chance to turn the tables, and the people around him were Wu Yuan's eyeliner. He thought that Wu Yuan was a person without a plan, but he forgot that the person next to Wu Yuan was the eldest grandson Wuji, the woman whose intelligence was not inferior to his.

"Xiuning, I have a better idea. ”

It was Li Shentong who spoke, and he looked at Li Shimin with pity, the former dragon of the Li family.

"Since it has been decided to change someone else to be the emperor, since it has been decided to refer to the deer as a horse, then why not let Wu Yuan become a member of the Li family? Gaozu has many children, choose a person with similar appearance and physical signs to Mr. Wu, let Mr. Wu inherit the throne in his place, and then marry Wujian as his wife, so that everything will fall into place, and Mr. Wu will not be dissatisfied and see Wujian become someone else's nominal queen. ”

He said calmly, completely ignoring Li Shimin's struggling body, having seen Wu Yuan's ghost-like skills, he no longer had the idea of resisting.
