Tiantang Splendid

4449 - King Jin captured
In the world of life, one is suddenly like a traveler. Life and death have always been things that have been heard. There may be some sense of loss or regret, but in fact it is difficult to have a real understanding. Even if you see it with your own eyes, it is extremely difficult to empathize with it.

Only when faced with death can one feel the great horror of it.

When the blood is full of blood and passion is bursting, the average man can calmly face life and death, with a big scar on his head, and he will be a hero again after 18 years, so what is there to be afraid of?But when the blood cools down and the passion fades away, the terror of death will instantly occupy the heart.

Therefore, those who can calmly face death when they are calm and desperate can be called heroes.

Few people can do it without the persistence of faith and lofty integrity.

Li Zhi obviously couldn't...

Since Zhaode Hall was fully clothed and came to the battle in person, he had made up his mind to fight to the death several times in a short period of time, either to capture Wude Hall and become emperor, or to defeat Taiji Palace and die. Wretched survival, lingering.

However, when the sharp tip of the lance touched the neck at this moment, the cold raindrops fell on the lance blade and splashed onto the skin of the neck, the pride and ambition in the chest dissipated in an instant, the hot blood also cooled down rapidly, and the whole body trembled as if falling into an ice cellar Trembling, there is only one thought in my mind - no matter what, I have to live...

Meeting Fang Jun's murderous eyes, Li Zhi swallowed with difficulty, and slightly yelled at the left and right guards: "Put down your weapons, put down your weapons!"

He tried his best to keep the tone of his voice as gentle as possible, not to show that he was calm in the face of danger and not afraid of death, but because he was afraid that a louder voice would stimulate Fang Jun's emotions, causing him to mistakenly think that he was going to resist and kill him suddenly...

After hearing Li Zhizhi's words, the left and right guards first looked at each other in blank dismay, then discarded the weapons in their hands one after another, then squatted on the ground and lowered their heads.

Emperor Taizong loved Li Zhi very much back then, and even Wei Wang Li Tai was slightly inferior, so the guards he chose for him were all the elite among the elite, and most of them were his retinues who had fought with him all the year round. Loyal and loyal, but also has unparalleled pride.

The word "surrender" has never appeared in the consciousness of these imperial guards. How can the heroes of the Tang Dynasty surrender if they have to fight to the death?
At this moment, although he had to abandon his arms and surrender due to his duty to protect Li Zhi's life, the resentment in his heart was hard to contain...

Fang Jun heaved a sigh of relief. Although he took the risk to restrain Li Zhi, he was surrounded by imperial guards of the Jin Palace. If Li Zhi's heart was ruthless and he ordered to fight to the death, he would have to be chopped into pieces by these guards. Chop into puree.

Now that Li Zhi is intimidated, his crisis will naturally be lifted...

"Come here, drive all these out of the Wude Gate and guard them separately. If there is any change, shoot and kill!"

"Here!"

The heavily armored infantry on the two wings acted quickly, first separating the rebels into a team of more than a hundred people, and then driving them out from Wudemen.

The soldiers stepped forward and pressed Li Zhi to the ground, stripped off his armor, and then took off the middle clothes from the dead soldiers and tore them into strips of cloth. The strips of cloth were twisted together into ropes, and Li Zhi was tightly tied up. In fact, it was finally placed on the back of a war horse, and dozens of people surrounded it closely to guard it.

Fang Jun didn't dare to send Li Zhi away for custody. After all, his identity was too important. In case of any accident that would seriously affect him, he had to send the whole thing to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian would let him go.

Can't take any risk...

Li Zhi's face was ashen, without any resistance, he let himself be tied up and put face down on the horse's back, without saying a word, maintaining his last little pride.

Fang Jun looked up at the gray sky, the rain fell on his face, and his eyes fell on the rebels who were still persevering in attacking Wude Hall again. His heart was full of composure. Now that Li Zhi was captured, the rebels were naturally destroyed. It's a matter of time, Yuchi Gong is still struggling, and I'm afraid he won't last long.

"Master Qiqi!"

A war horse drove out from Wudemen, galloped to stand in front of Fang Jun, and the captain immediately said loudly: "Commander, Xiao Yu and Cui Xin have surrendered to Liu Rengui, and tens of thousands of rebels outside Chengtianmen have begun to be detained. The diplomats going to Zhicheng are guarded by the Sixth Commander of the East Palace, and Liu Rengui has joined forces with Xue Wanche and officials from the Jingzhao Mansion to clean up the order in Chang'an City!"

Li Zhi, who was lying on the horseback, struggled violently, and the soldiers on the side hurried forward to hold him down, but Li Zhi still tried his best to raise his neck, his red eyes were bloodshot, and his handsome face was distorted. He yelled: "Mother! These two thieves who eat inside and outside, the king trusts you so much, but you betray the king and ask for glory. The king will definitely chop you up and send them to the Emperor Taizong!" Let's see what face you have to face Emperor Taizong! Let the men of your two families be slaves for generations, and the women be prostitutes for generations! Mother! This king will not die with peace!"

Since he was born, he has been loved, well-clothed and well-fed, and he has never uttered such foul language, but at this moment, he is filled with anger, wishing to add all the vicious words to Xiao Yu and Cui Xin, to eat their flesh, Drink its blood, so that people and gods will be abandoned together, and they will not die well.

Fang Jun waved his hand: "Stop His Highness Prince Jin's mouth!"

He can understand Li Zhi's anger at the moment. Although he has always coveted the throne in his heart, when Emperor Taizong died suddenly and Li Chengqian ascended the throne in danger, Li Zhi once accepted his fate, even though he knew Li Chengqian ascended the throne. It is very likely that he will cut off his younger brother who is a threat to the throne, but there is nothing he can do.

It was Xiao Yu and others who gave King Jin the courage to throw everything at one's fingertips. He saw a gleam of fire in despair, and rushed over like a moth recklessly, but in the end his body was smashed to pieces and turned into ashes...

Such a betrayal is naturally hateful.

Several personal soldiers stepped forward and blocked Li Zhi's mouth. Li Zhi struggled like a fish off the shore, with a "woo woo" sound in his mouth. He was angry, unwilling, but powerless.

Fang Junce rode forward, stretched out his hand and patted Li Zhi's shoulder, and said softly, "Why bother? A man can afford it and let it go. Since he launched a mutiny recklessly, he must be prepared to bear the consequences of failure." , Think more about how to get His Majesty to spare you, I don’t want to be angered by Chang Le, Gao Yang, and Si Zi because I personally captured you and resulted in your death.”

After saying that, he turned his head and ordered: "Send a team of people to shout at Yu Chigong that 'King Jin is dead', and disturb the morale of the army!"

"Here!"

The school captain got the order, and immediately organized a group of soldiers with loud voices, stepped forward and surrounded Yu Chigong, who was rushing towards the Hall of Wude, and shouted loudly: "The king of Jin is dead! Surrender quickly!"

The roars of hundreds of people gathered in one place to form a huge sound wave, which spread far and wide in the wind and rain, and could be heard far and near.

The rebels who were fighting bravely were suddenly in chaos. The belief that supported their bloody battle so far was to help King Jin ascend the throne and fulfill Emperor Taizong's last wish. If King Jin died, what use would it be for them to invade Wude Hall and depose Li Chengqian?
Yu Chigong also trembled in his heart, and in a daze, he was stabbed in the thigh by the hem of the skirt armor that a school captain suddenly raised with a spear, causing him to yell in pain, and swung his horse to knock the school captain off the horse who was too late to retreat. , Loudly said: "Everyone listen carefully, this must be a traitor's nonsense, intended to confuse our army, don't believe it, follow me forward, go straight to the Wude Hall!"

Gritting his teeth and red eyes, he swung his horse and rushed forward.

It's not that he doesn't believe that King Jin is dead, but he can't believe it!
It is conceivable that if King Jin really died in battle, what a tragic fate he would face Yu Chigong!With Li Zhi present, even if the army is defeated, the first person responsible for the crime must be Li Zhi. With Yu Chigong's achievements for so many years, he may not be able to end up in an extreme end; but if King Jin is killed, then all responsibilities will be borne Yu Chigong took the responsibility alone, bewitching the prince to seek rebellion, supporting the prince's rebellion, resulting in the death of King Jin among the rebellious army, confusing the entire Guanzhong, and causing disasters in the east, east, east, and south of the Yangtze River...

It's not a question of whether Yu Chigong is willing to take it or not, but that he can't afford it!

It's okay to be beheaded by Li Chengqian, and even confessed to ransacking his family and destroying his family, but the crime of "causing the death of King Jin" must never fall on him!He fought side by side with His Majesty Li Er for many years, overthrew the persecution of Li Chengqian and Li Yuanji together, and created the Zhenguan Dynasty.

If he was charged with such a crime, even if he died, how would he explain to Emperor Taizong when he went to Jiuquan?

Ten thousand deaths are unforgivable!
Yuchi Gong, who was insane, didn't care about the loud shouts behind him, and summoned all his courage to face the position led by the prince's left guard. The prince's left guard was indeed elite, but when the victory was already decided, he faced the desperate Yuchi Gong, of course, was beaten to the extreme and retreated steadily.

Then there was another cry from behind——

"Xiao Yu and Cui Xin have led the Shandong private army to surrender and are being escorted out of the city to be guarded by Duke Wei!"

"The overall situation has been decided, Yuchi respectfully put down the weapon quickly, don't be stubborn!"

The shouts resounded in the empty square between Wude Gate and Wude Hall, and the rebel army was completely panicked. Even if Yu Chigong repeatedly yelled angrily, it was difficult to deter the chaos and stabilize the morale of the army.The life and death of the King of Jin is actually not so intuitive to the soldiers of the waiting guards. They are all old subordinates who have followed Yu Chigong for many years. They only have military orders in their eyes and obey orders. , They still can't clearly understand it, but Xiao Yu and Cui Xin surrendered, and the consequence is that their army, which rushed to the Hall of Wude, has become a lone army.

In addition, Li Daozong was defeated and captured, and when he entered the city, there were only a few thousand of them left...

So what if the Hall of Wude is captured?
All the hard work is meaningless.

Yuchi respectfully held his lance and looked up to the sky, heaving a long sigh, the time is not with me, so what can I do...
