Li Shimin sat playfully in the main hall of the Qin King's Mansion, surrounded by warriors dressed in sharp armor, and there were already many people standing under the hall, all of whom were subordinates of him who had recruited rebels in the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, or there was also another title, Guandong Qunhao?
There were hurried footsteps outside, and after a while Fang Xuanling and Du Ruyi walked into the hall, and they didn't say much, but they just bent down and performed a big gift to Li Shimin, although these two people were officials in the court, today they were wearing a different kind of thing, wearing a Daoist robe, and there was no demeanor in the past when walking, and there were many folds in the hem, as if they were in a hurry.
Li Shimin raised his head slightly, looked carefully at his former left arm and right arm, and said, "What can an official who drives outside do?" Actually wanted General Chi to invite two people twice? ”
Du Ruyi just didn't say anything, and Fang Xuanling said first: "How can there be an edict from the emperor, and if you enter the Qin King's Tiance Mansion today, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of being in a different place." ”
Li Shimin didn't say much more, and looked at the many people in the hall, there was Hou Junji, who was excited, Eldest Sun Wuji, who had his own cloth friend, and Wei Chigong, who trusted him without reservation. After exchanging glances with everyone, Li Shimin stood up with a solemn face and said, "Today, by the order of the King of Qin and the General of Tiance Province, he ordered each general to set up an ambush Xuanwu Gate and kill The Crown Prince Li Jiancheng!" ”
The congregation will bow down and worship without hesitation.
Since the Sui Dynasty Jin King Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, this later emperor who felt that "great cause can be expected" began to abuse the people's power, suppress the door valve, poor and extravagant, after the three conquests of Goguryeo, the world was in chaos, and the Tang Dynasty Duke Li Yuan was naturally not idle, after starting an army from Jinyang, relying on 30,000 people to occupy the Hedong region of Guanzhong in only 4 months, less than 1 year to ascend the throne as emperor, this speed can be described as unprecedented.
However, the extreme rapid development has also created the drawbacks of the court, After all, Li Yuan is the representative figure of the Guanlong clique, and being able to claim the title of emperor so quickly is naturally a complete recognition of the power of the Guanlong clique and the Guanzhong clan in the court, which can be said to be no exaggeration to use the two words "indiscriminate reward", and the official hat of the hereditary duke almost gave the relevant Long clique and the Guanzhong clan a hand.
Inside the Xuanwu Gate.
Wei Chigong looked guilty, it was his mistake not to kill Li Jiancheng with his own hands, and in the end he let Li Jiancheng die at the hands of Li Shimin, and the crime of "killing his brother" was afraid that he would have to bear it for a lifetime. Thinking of this, Wei Chigong felt even more that it was a wise decision to follow such a decisive monarch.
Li Shimin did not look at the guilty expression on his face, but slowly handed the bow and arrow to his subordinates, and after checking that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were indeed out of breath, he slowly ordered: "Send two teams of generals to the Eastern Palace and the Qi Palace, sweep away the remnants of the prince, and leave no piece of armor." The eldest grandson Wuji was a little eager to say something, and Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I know that the prince and the king of Qi are not worried, and I never thought that I could not kill them." ”
Li Shimin's cold blood at this moment actually made the eldest grandson Wuji a little strange, and the eldest grandson Wuji sighed with endless emotion. Li Shimin looked deep into the imperial city, there were too many enemies in his life, fortunately, the previous enemies, such as Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong, all fell in front of him, and now, he had to raise his butcher knife towards his brother and his father in the depths of the palace.
He knew that his enemy was not Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng was just a means for his father to divide his power, and his real enemy was so powerful that he would be awakened by nightmares every late at night, so strong that he would not act for fear that one day he would be in a different place and did not know it.
He didn't think much more, his voice began to be low, and he slowly ordered: "Send two emissaries to the Weiguo Gong Pharmacist's Office and Li Ji's mansion, don't say much, only say that the people of the world are willing to share the wealth with them, and the rest of the people, etc., follow me straight to the palace and meet Your Majesty!" ”
The guards in the army were already under the control of Li Shimin, so this road was also unimpeded, occasionally one or two officials who did not open their eyes were also slashed by Wei Chigong, Li Shimin had lazily remembered who these officials who were killed were, he seemed to recall the summer when he was a child walking in the Tang Dynasty Mansion to see his father's mood, perhaps before the father and son met, this was the only thing he felt that his mood could be better, except for the slow flow of blood on Wei Chigong's big knife that made him a little uncomfortable.
In front of the palace gate, the guards and eunuchs guarding the gate had been dismissed, and there was a melodious sound of silk bamboo and occasional laughter, and even a woman's careful exclamation could be heard, and the nominal first ruler of the Tang Dynasty was probably drinking and having fun with the representatives of Guan Long and Guanzhong cliques.
The so-called Great Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty Center were actually just built by Guan Long and the Guanzhong Clique, otherwise his Tiance Mansion would not have gathered so many Haojie in Guandong and other places represented by Wei Chigong, and at this moment, he finally saw the poor dagger. The unknown that happened when this door was opened, Li Shimin could not imagine it, but he had to go to this door.
Li Shimin clenched his fists and shouted with all his strength: "Li Shimin, the general of Tiance Province and the King of Qin, asked to see his father and emperor." He put Tiance Mansion in the front, and there is no doubt that Li Shimin today came on behalf of Tiance Mansion.
Suddenly all the sounds of bamboo inside the palace gate suddenly stopped, and for a moment the silence inside and outside the palace gate was terrible, and the door that blocked the line of sight became the focus of everyone. Li Shimin did not hesitate any longer and shouted again: "Li Shimin, the general of Tiance Province and the King of Qin, asked to see his father and emperor." ”
"The King of Qin... Without...... Why did he enter the palace without being summoned? A slightly nervous voice came from inside, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a eunuch's or an official's.
Li Shimin did not speak again, slowly moving forward, Wei Chigong and Hou Junji hurriedly pushed open this heavy door, the light shone in along Li Shimin's eyes, there was no longer the previous warm atmosphere inside, most of the officials were silent, only the emperor Li Yuan, who sat on the throne, had a livid face, the wine glass on the table did not know what reason fell at Li Yuan's feet, and the wine liquid dripped down the table bit by bit on the soft cushion.
Li Shimin, dressed in dazzling armor of light, walked to the hall and prayed, "Father Emperor Qi, the child has something to play." It was said to be the initiation, but it was accompanied by the influx of Tiance Mansion generals and Wei Chigong's long blood-stained knife.
Li Yuan calmed down at this moment, although his face was still livid, but he also said, "What is the matter?" ”
"Emperor Qi, Li Jiancheng, the crown prince outside Xuanwu Gate, and Li Yuanji, the prince of Qi, wanted to murder Bao'er, but fortunately, the people of my Tiance Mansion would desperately protect each other, and Bao'er was only spared, hoping that his father would preside over justice for Bao'er."
Li Yuan couldn't believe it, he always felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What about the prince and the king of Qi?" ”
"The prince and the king of Qi were in a hurry to kill Bao'er during the fight, and they had already died in the rebellion." Li Shimin still looked indifferent, as if the news he had said had nothing to do with him, and when the stunned Li Yuan once again returned from the deaths of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he said: "Because the prince and the king of Qi have the intention of plotting against each other, Bao Er has sent two teams of generals to the Eastern Palace and the Qi Palace, and at this moment the remainder of the prince has been wiped out." ”
This bland sentence is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, do you know that this is the life of Li Yuan's two sons and ten grandchildren, and it can be concluded by Li Shimin's simple sentence of "plotting rebellion"? At this moment, the Manchu officials finally understood in their hearts that the conspiracy was even more conspiratorial to the prince, and the King of Qin was even more plotting.
Li Yuan even more forced himself to endure the stuffiness in his chest, pointing at Li Shimin with a trembling finger, almost crushing his teeth and saying, "Contrarian Son! ”
Li Shimin turned his head to look at the eldest sun Wujie, who immediately understood and urged his subordinates to "invite" these officials to the side hall, and at this moment, the hall except for the Tiance Mansion, did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, leaving the prime minister Pei Huan alone.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan with a look of hatred, he knew what a heavy blow it was to lose two sons and ten grandchildren in one day, but he had no choice, and he did not want to think about why Li Yuan wanted him to establish the Tiance Mansion, which led to such a situation.
"Father, please listen to the child." Li Shimin bent down again, and the edges and corners of the bright armor on his stomach made him a little angry, but it made Li Shimin more sober, and he did not wait for Li Yuan's permission to say again: "Father Emperor, the world is the world of the people under the heavens, not the world of the Guan Long people, do you see that there are other people's voices in this court today?" Why can there be such a strong soldier under the sons of the sons? Why did the child go straight into the palace and the Duke of Weiguo was indifferent? ”
Li Yuan couldn't help but be angry, and roared again: "Contrarian Son, we are from the Guanlong Gate Valve, and we have already stamped the Seal of Long on our bodies, how can we have today's Tang Dynasty without relying on them?" ”
Li Shimin nodded, "Yes, I was also from Guan Long, but Guan Long cannot be a single family, the prince's qualifications are mediocre, and the King of Qi is sinister and cunning, how can these two people control the imperial program?" Today, the Cefu is full of talents, wu has Hou Junji, Wei Chigong, Wen has the eldest grandson Wujie, Fang Xuanling, and Guan Long, Guanzhong, and Hedong Qunhao are all under his command, why doesn't the father and emperor set up a prince and me? I will give my Father a peaceful and prosperous world. ”
Li Yuan looked at the familiar but strange second son, as if he had removed all disguises and become a tiger that chose to eat people, and once he showed his fangs, he was already unstoppable. Li Yuan closed his eyes and said, "If I don't make you crown prince, why should I?" ”
Li Shimin took a few steps closer to Li Yuan and said in a very low voice, "Only ask your father to temporarily live in the Taiji Palace, and after two months, your father may have died violently." ”
This was already the most obvious manifestation of "killing the father", and Li Yuan did not want to believe it in his heart, but his reason told him that perhaps this was the final result, and his face was depressed, but he did not know how to answer.
Pei Huan quietly stepped forward and whispered to Li Yuan, "Your Majesty has no more children, and if you don't make a decision again, you are afraid that your life will be in danger." Your Majesty thought twice. ”
Li Yuan's eyes were no longer colorless, but this time Li Yuan's mental battle affected all the people in the entire hall, and at this time, he did not know when a historian quietly came in, laid out the four treasures of the study room, and after about a while, finally two more officials came in, regardless of the atmosphere of slaughter in the hall, and directly said:
The King of Qin covered the world, returned to his heart inside and outside, became a prince, paid for the affairs of the military and the country, and His Majesty was relieved of his burden.
”
Li Yuan knew that this sentence was said to him, he looked at Pei Huan again, this best friend gave him a look, Li Yuan understood, but at this moment a heroic ambition has been extinguished, perhaps today's Li Yuan even looks particularly desolate with white hair, he said:"
This Wu Zhi also.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and hugged his father and wept.
On June 7, 1999, three days after the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuan made Li Shimin the Prince of Qin crown prince and summoned him: "
From now on, the affairs of the military state, large and small, were all appointed to be executed by the crown prince, and then the emperor was played.
On August 9, 999, just two months later, Li Yuan abdicated as Emperor Taishang, and Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor, for Tang Taizong, changing the Yuan Zhenguan!
