Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1439 I will not kill you

The night is dark, and the city of Chang'an is in chaos.

Li Yuanjing couldn't sleep all night.

He walked back and forth on his mansion, wanting to know whether King Qi and the others had broken through the city gate.

He had already calculated that the two thousand soldiers defending the city were by no means his opponents.

Coupled with the cooperation of the rebels, it should be easy to capture Chang'an City.

Of course, he also calculated the speed at which the reinforcements arrived, and the result of his calculations was that the rebels would definitely be able to capture Chang'an City before the reinforcements arrived.

However, just when Li Yuanjing was thinking this way, the loud voice outside made him frown slightly,

However, he soon thought, even if it was two thousand soldiers, it would still be loud, right?
He didn't think this was the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty.

Anxious, anxious.

At this moment, a spy hurried over.

In this early winter season, the spy's forehead was sweating.

"My lord, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good."

Li Yuanjing forced himself to remain calm and asked, "What's the matter?"

"We have been tricked. The court sent people to ambush at the gate of the city long ago, just waiting for our people to take the bait. Now Li Shimin probably already knows who is behind the scenes. The prince is in danger, so run away."

"What, escape?"

Li Yuanjing was a little dumbfounded. How could the things he had planned fail? How could Li Shimin have already sent someone to ambush him at the gate of the city?
escape?
He seems to have never thought of this word, and now that the gate of Chang'an is closed, where can he escape?
Out of town?
This Chang'an City has some secret passages out of the city.

Li Yuanjing slowly regained his consciousness, and without hesitation, he ordered people to pack up his things and started to leave the city.

However, just when Li Yuanjing was in a hurry to escape from Chang'an City, a group of soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the entire palace.

"There is an order from the Holy Spirit to take Li Yuanjing away."

After the guards rushed in, they soon encountered resistance from the dead men arranged by Li Yuanjing in the mansion, and these dead men wanted to escort Li Yuanjing out of Chang'an City.

However, the entire palace has been surrounded, and those guards are also highly skilled in martial arts. If Li Yuanjing wanted to escape, it would be easier said than done.
So not long after, those guards captured Li Yuanjing and took him to the prison.

Li Yuanjing struggled and scolded, he never thought that such a day would happen to him.

Depressed, depressed.

"Li Shimin, you will die badly. If you are capable, kill me, kill me..."

In the prison, Li Yuanjing cursed loudly, but it was already dark, and Li Shimin obviously didn't want to answer him.

The night passed like that.

The next morning, those courtiers finally understood what happened last night.

"What, Li Yuanjing actually colluded with the rebels, and wanted to cooperate with them inside and outside, and open the gate of my Chang'an city?"

"I really didn't expect that Li Yuanjing, who seems to be loyal and patriotic on weekdays, is actually such a person."

"Who says it's not? It's too terrifying. Thanks to the arrangement of the Holy One, otherwise the city of Chang'an will be destroyed, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

When the ministers were talking, they couldn't help but feel a bit of fear.

But when the officials and common people in Chang'an City were discussing this matter, Li Shimin brought people into the prison.

He said that he wanted to see Li Yuanjing today.

When he came to the prison, Li Yuanjing was alone in the cell in a daze.

His cell is fairly clean, but no matter how clean it is, it is definitely not as clean as his palace, so his eye sockets are swollen, and he may not have had a good rest.

When he saw Li Shimin, Li Yuanjing rushed towards him in anger, but after seeing the master beside Li Shimin, he still suppressed this impulse.

Li Shimin found a chair and sat down.

"I didn't expect that it was you who wanted to oppose me. Did I treat you badly?"

Li Shimin was very surprised, why he was so kind to those vassal kings, but those vassal kings always wanted his life and his country?

Since he ascended the throne, he never seemed to express his intention to cut down the feudal clan, right?

Li Yuanjing snorted: "This throne shouldn't belong to you in the first place, why can you sit while I, Li Yuanjing, can't?"

Li Shimin sighed, it turned out that these vassal kings rebelled not because they were good to them, but because they had their own ambitions.

"It's a good thing to be ambitious. Ambition makes people go up, but sometimes even if you have ambition, you have to do what you can. If you want to take my country, you are still close."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuanjing didn't take it seriously, and even snorted softly, and said, "Do you think that if the design finds me out, it will be able to resist the rebels outside? You think too highly of yourself , So what if you catch me, there are almost 20 troops outside the city, can you destroy them, even if they can't take down Chang'an City, they will just consume you, what can you do?"

Li Yuanjing didn't think that after Li Shimin captured him, he took control of everything and didn't take the rebels outside the city seriously.

It is not easy to destroy those rebels.

Li Shimin was not nervous at all, and smiled slightly: "Then do you think that I just designed to arrest you?"

As he said that, Li Shimin shook his head: "Arresting you is only my first move. Soon, my second move will begin."

"The second move?" Li Yuanjing frowned slightly. After all, he was a smart person. Then, he seemed to think of something, and his whole body couldn't help but startled.

"Impossible, it's absolutely impossible, those vassal kings won't come to serve the king." Li Yuanjing thought that Li Shimin might want to continue this matter and let the vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty kill each other, so that the power of the vassal kings could be greatly weakened. strength.

It is not easy for Li Shimin's [-] soldiers to repel those rebels, but if there is a vassal king to support the king, it will naturally be successful.

But will the vassal king come to serve the king?

He looked at Li Shimin, this treacherous person, he had already designed a trap, just waiting for them to jump in step by step.

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "I might as well tell you that I have subdued some vassal kings over the years, and other vassal kings, if they want to serve the king, then most of them will come to serve the king. People in the world are still very good at judging the situation." of."

The rebel army could not capture Chang'an City, and the vassal kings subdued by Li Shimin would come to serve the king again. After thinking about it, the other vassal kings would definitely make the most sensible choice for them.

In this way, the rebels outside the city will not last long.

After Li Yuanjing heard Li Shimin's words, he suddenly said kindly: "Kill me, kill me if you have the ability."

Li Shimin chuckled: "I won't kill you, I want to keep you, let you take a good look at how I deal with those rebels outside the city."

"You dare not kill me, coward."
