Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 311 Your Majesty, please move to Da'an Palace!

The prince led two thousand elite soldiers and rushed into the palace? ?
The guards' frightened words made Du Chuke and others feel extremely unreal.

No matter how you listen to this, it sounds like a fairy tale!

How could two thousand elite soldiers possibly break into the palace?

Even if the prince was given 20,000 troops, they might not be able to break through the defense of Cheng Zhijie and the other two, right?
But the guard's frightened look did not seem like he was lying, and he was running towards His Majesty to report the news to Him.

"so……"

"Did the prince really break into the palace?"

Wei Xiyuan murmured, his face full of disbelief, "Is it because of those explosives?"

Du Chuke shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, it must be Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde who let it go!"

"Everyone knows that Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin have a very good relationship with the Crown Prince..."

Yin Hongzhi murmured, "But they dare not disobey your majesty's orders."

Du Chuke was speechless for a moment, and the determination in his heart began to waver.

Inside the Manna Hall.

After hearing the guard's report, Li Shimin was even more shocked.

The prince led two thousand men into the palace?

How can this be?

Back then, he had planned it out unintentionally. He chose the right opportunity and acted at night. Only then did he successfully capture the Xuanwu Gate and break into the palace.

But now, in broad daylight, Li Chengqian, surrounded by two large armies, easily fought his way to the Xuanwu Gate, and even broke through the Xuanwu Gate under the defense of Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde?

He led two thousand people?

Two thousand gods?
Li Shimin was very excited and stood up with the help of Concubine Yang. "Is Xuanwu Gate really broken?"

"It's broken, Your Majesty, it's really broken!"

"Those birdmen dropped explosives one after another and blew up the Xuanwu Gate directly!"

"And those people sitting under the big ball, the weapons in their hands are even more powerful, they took the lives of dozens of people at once, it's so terrible..."

The guard seemed to be terrified and described in horror the scenes that had just happened.

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin staggered and would have fallen to the ground if Concubine Yang had not supported him.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Where are Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde?"

"Have they been attacked by those explosives..."

"The two great generals were captured alive by the prince!"

Li Shimin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde have followed him for a long time, from the Qin Palace to now...

If he died at Xuanwu Gate because of Li Chengqian's rebellion, how would he have the face to face them in the future?
even……

He also had to face the ridicule of Prince Yin.

The two capable generals who participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident are waiting for you behind, my good brother. I never thought that you would have this day!

"Where are Lu Chengqing and Duan Zhixuan?"

"Your Majesty, the thousands of soldiers led by Lord Lu were stopped by the people in the city. Now they have dispersed and are kneeling outside the palace gate to plead guilty."

Tiancai glanced at Li Shimin and continued, "General Duan Zhixuan failed to stop the elite troops led by Su Chen, including Wang Xuance, and caused His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to be captured alive."

"In order to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Qi, General Duan Zhixuan had no choice but to let Su Chen and others leave. He is currently kneeling outside the palace with Lord Lu."

"Hehehe..."

Li Shimin was silent, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Prince, oh prince.

You are worthy of being my good son!

It has only been a few months and he already has such a strong following.

The six ministers of state did not show up, and Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and Gao Shilian, the three pillars of the country who assisted him in regulating the country, also sided with him.

The people of Chang'an knew that the prince was plotting a rebellion in broad daylight, but instead of stopping him, they assisted him in his rebellion...

"ridiculous!"

"Sliding the world's great joke!"

"I actually made such a stupid judgment at this time!"

The laughter faded.

Li Shimin pushed Concubine Yang away and walked out of the palace.

Concubine Yang hurried to follow.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

"I want to watch from here and see what the prince wants to do!"

Li Shimin was standing outside the hall, with Du Chuke and others kneeling below him, their bodies covered with snowflakes.

But at this moment, they looked particularly ridiculous.

They were still thinking of asking His Majesty to depose the Crown Prince, but they didn't know that the Crown Prince had already become powerful and didn't want to play these conspiracies and tricks with them.

Da da da.

The sound of footsteps came in unison.

Although the people were a little far away, Li Shimin couldn't help but nod repeatedly just by hearing the uniform voice.

This is an elite division!
Above this elite army are dozens of huge hot air balloons.

The upper and lower parts are integrated, coming with the wind and snow.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The guards quickly lined up and stood in front of Li Shimin.

Du Chuke and others who were still kneeling on the ground were also frightened by this scene. They hurriedly stood up and moved towards Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince..."

Li Shimin looked over indifferently, and Du Chuke fell silent instantly.

Two thousand elite soldiers followed Li Chengqian's orders and raised their right hands.

At this moment, the hot air balloons in the sky all stopped in mid-air, staring like tigers and wolves.

Li Chengqian rode his horse forward, stopped ten feet away from Li Shimin, and dismounted.

"Your Majesty is frightened."

"Cheng Qian, you're going too far."

"Excessive?"

"Am I going too far?!"

Li Chengqian laughed in silence and waved his hand. Li Tai and Li You were dragged out.

"I would like to ask your Majesty, who went too far, me or them?!"

"In order to gain the position of Crown Prince, he ordered Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu to use the method of entering dreams to seduce Cheng Xin, so that a man could seduce me!"

"He conspired with Tubo, but for the sake of my mother, I didn't bother with them and helped him deal with it properly!"

"He secretly forged explosives, which led to the Wannian County tragedy, killing and injuring hundreds of people!"

"Now the two of them join forces, let him, him, him, them!"

Li Chengqian pointed at Du Chuke and the others angrily and shouted, "Let these villains join forces to depose me from my position as Crown Prince!"

"Is it me who has gone too far, or is it them who have gone too far, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin said slowly: "Gao Ming, stop it."

"While there is still a chance to save the relationship, you should know that I have never intended to depose the Crown Prince..."

"No?"

Li Chengqian shook his head and laughed, "When they wanted to depose the crown prince, you kept silent. I knelt in front of my mother's tombstone for a whole night and you kept silent. Now, I have brought them to you, and you tell me that you have no intention of deposing the crown prince?!"

"I don't have any!"

Li Shimin said angrily: "I just said, no! Never!"

"Really?"

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, "But Your Majesty, it's too late!"

"not late!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I can let bygones be bygones this time!"

"What about them?"

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Su Chen and the others, then shouted: "Where are the officials from the six ministries?!"

As Li Chengqian's voice fell, except for Li Jing, the other five ministers and officials of the six ministries walked out one after another.

"Will Your Majesty pardon them?"

Li Shimin remained silent, his eyes moving over Duan Lun, Dai Zhou, Hou Junji and others one by one.

Hard to imagine.

Except for Li Jing, all the other five ministers of the six ministries have arrived.

In addition, officials of all ranks from the six ministries are almost all present!

"Your Majesty, why did you spill blood at Xuanwu Gate?"

Li Chengqian said softly, "It's because once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. It can't go back."

At the time of the Xuanwu Gate Battle, Li Shimin had already gained the upper hand. Even if he didn't do that, his subordinates would not agree!

only if.

Li Shimin remained silent, but his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists.

"Gao Ming, do you really want to do this?"

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Chengqian!"

Li Shimin shouted angrily, "Are you doing this to your dead mother?"

Li Chengqian responded angrily: "How dare you mention your mother to me?!"

"You killed your brother, and you made Princess Yang the imperial consort. Mother was extremely depressed, and she could only tell me..."

"Shut up!"

Li Chengqian turned a deaf ear to Li Shimin's angry rebuke and said, "Have you forgotten that it was my mother who stood guard in front of me with a dagger in hand at the night of Xuanwu Gate, preventing me from getting hurt at all!"

"You let the King of Wei live in the Wude Hall, and you favor him so much that you ignore me!"

Li Shimin shouted again: "I told you to shut up!"

"You have forgotten your mother's last words to you. You want to make the King of Wei the crown prince to replace me!"

Li Chengqian shouted angrily: "I'm fed up!"

"It's been thirteen years. Thirteen whole years. What did I do wrong?"

"What have I ever coveted as a prince?!"

"For thirteen years, I have worked diligently and conscientiously, but what have I got in return?"

"It's the King of Wei's recklessness and your Majesty's repeated favoritism!"

"Yesterday, I knelt in front of my mother's grave for a whole day. I talked to my mother all night. I wondered if His Majesty would know that he was wrong and would come to my mother's grave to look for me."

"If your majesty had said one word to me, even if he had called me home from my mother's grave, I would not have done this."

"But you didn't!"

"You never have!"

"You are the emperor, you are the Khan of Heaven, you cannot be wrong, and you will not be wrong, the only one who is wrong is me!"

Li Shimin's eyes gradually became misty, "Cheng Qian!"

"Your Majesty, please call me Prince!"

"..."

Li Shimin remained silent.

All the civil and military officials present sighed secretly.

The prince was forced.

If Your Majesty could show some preference to the Crown Prince, this would not have to happen!
Li Chengqian pointed at Li Tai and the other man lying on the ground and spoke again: "One or two is fine, but not three. I've had enough!"

"They said I wanted to rebel, so I'll rebel in front of them!"

"Chengqian!"

Li Shimin was shocked, "Are you really going to kill them?!"

"This is what your majesty taught me!"

Li Chengqian looked on coldly.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had made up his mind, Li Tai and Li You panicked.

"Brother, I was wrong. Brother, please let me off this time!"

"Brother, I was bewitched by my fourth brother. You know me. I just like hunting and have no interest in the throne!"

Li Chengqian looked down at Li Tai and the others, "Don't be afraid, admit your mistakes, and stand at attention when you are beaten!"

"It's only a blink of an eye. It won't hurt too much."

"Big brother!"

Li Tai and the other two were extremely terrified.

You have never died, so how do you know it won’t hurt?

"Brother Prince!"

The commotion in the palace had already alarmed all the princes and princesses.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was really going to kill Li Tai and the others, the princes and princesses all ran out. "Brother Crown Prince, don't do that."

Facing the brothers and sisters who were begging for mercy, Li Chengqian rarely showed a gentle smile: "Be obedient and go back. This is a matter between us adults and has nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, some ministers sighed.

The prince still cares about family affection. Otherwise, how could he be so gentle to these princes and princesses at this time?
Unfortunately……

"Brother Prince!"

Li Lizhi, escorted by Chang Sunchong and others, came to Li Chengqian. Li Lizhi's eyes were slightly red and her voice was trembling. "Brother Crown Prince, are you really going to kill my second brother?"

"I didn't want to kill him, he forced me to kill him!"

Li Chengqian raised his head, tears suddenly falling, "I knelt in front of my mother's grave for a whole night, and burned paper money dozens of times, but it never caught fire."

"But when I told my mother all the resentment in my heart, the paper money ignited."

"I know that my mother loves me. If she knows this in the afterlife, she wouldn't want me to suffer because of this. So I know what I should do!"

"But……"

"Lizhi, please don't embarrass me, okay?"

Li Chengqian's words made Li Lizhi finally unable to hold back her sobs and she stepped aside.

"Chengqian!"

"Your Majesty, do you understand now?"

Li Chengqian looked over silently and raised his right hand. Su Chen picked up a sharp sword and placed it in his palm.

"Cheng Qian! Don't!"

Li Shimin was extremely angry and said, "He is your brother!"

"Now, it's too late to say anything!"

"Stop him!"

Li Shimin roared, but no one dared to step forward.

"Assholes! Are you all going to betray me?"

"Big brother!"

"Father, save me..."

puff!
A splash of blood splattered, and Li Tai's head rolled to the ground.

"Fourth brother!"

"Brother, brother, please don't, don't kill me..."

Seeing Li Chengqian kill Li Tai with one sword, Li You was instantly scared to death.

But Li Chengqian didn't waste time talking to him.

With one cut of the knife, Li You was killed with ease.

Li Shimin staggered, looking at the scene in disbelief. He didn't dare to look at the faces of Li Tai and Li You who died with their eyes wide open. He closed his eyes, but the cold light of Li Chengqian's sword lingered in his mind.

"Somebody come!"

Li Chengqian shouted, and Xue Li strode out, "Your Highness!"

"Capture Du Chuke and the others and execute them on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Xue Li waved his hand, and one by one the elite soldiers walked towards Du Chuke and others.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, save me!"

"Your Majesty, save me!"

Du Chuke and others were dragged away by the soldiers while wailing, and were executed on the spot.

Everyone who watched these scenes shook their heads.

Your Majesty cannot even save the King of Wei and the King of Qi, how can you save you?
In the blink of an eye, people came and went.

Li Chengqian looked at the knife in his hand, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked towards Li Shimin step by step.

"Prince, no!"

A group of guards stepped forward and stopped Li Chengqian, but they did not dare to get too close, for fear that Li Chengqian would go crazy and chop them all to pieces!
"clever!"

"Prince!"

Gao Shilian and others came forward one after another.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Uncle, Prime Minister Fang, do you think I want to kill my father?"

"Do you have the courage?"

Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes staring at him like a devil.

Li Chengqian looked at the bloody knife in his hand and took another step forward.

Li Shimin was struck by lightning.

Li Chengqian sighed and dropped the knife in his hand. "Your Majesty is really biased. Even at this moment, he is still unwilling to admit defeat and admit his mistakes."

"You're right. I can't kill you, not because I don't dare to kill you!"

"The reason why you kept Grandpa Huang was because you wanted him to watch how the Tang Dynasty grew stronger little by little under your leadership, and how all nations came to pay tribute to it!"

Li Shimin's pupils shrank. Is he going to...

"I want the same thing!"

call!
Gao Shilian and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what Li Chengqian's reasons or purposes were, at least he did not commit regicide!

"Haha, are you worthy?"

"Your Majesty, please wait and see."

Li Chengqian held his head high and chest puffed out, and they looked into each other's eyes.

At this time.

Su Chen walked forward slowly. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Su Chen bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, please abdicate and move to Da'an Palace!"

Li Shimin glared at him angrily, wishing he could kill him right now!

Everything changed from the moment he appeared!

The prince's concession was not a reconciliation with him, but forbearance!

Even the prince's every move during this period was just a show, a show for him!
The purpose is to paralyze him and give him enough time to accumulate power in secret!
Just one year!
He has so many supporters and the ability to point his sword at the palace!

"Su Chen!"

"You're fine, very fine!"

Su Chen smiled calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Liao Zan!"

"To this day, your Majesty still blames all the faults on others, but never thinks about his own problems."

"This is the result of the cause Your Majesty sowed!"

"Come here, cut this thief into pieces!"

Li Shimin's hysterical roar was met with dead silence.

No one dared to take action, and no one was willing to take action!
Be it the two thousand elite soldiers armed with muskets or the hot air balloons floating in the sky, the palace guards dared not act rashly.

"His Majesty……"

Gao Shilian stepped forward and said with a sigh, "It's over."

"The dispute between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei ends today!"

"Your Majesty, please abdicate and move to Da'an Palace!"

Fang Xuanling stepped forward, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward, and the five officials from the six ministries stepped forward together.

"Your Majesty, please move to Da'an Palace!"

As their voices fell, the voices of many officials from the six ministries, Wang Xuance and the two thousand elite soldiers behind him, and the guards who were guarding Li Shimin were heard.

Li Shimin staggered and had difficulty standing.

With the help of Concubine Yang, he managed to keep his balance.

But at this time, Li Lizhi came out and knelt in front of Li Shimin with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, the princes and princesses followed Li Lizhi one after another.

"Father!"

"You are wrong!"

"My second brother is dead, my fourth brother is dead, let's end it here!"

"Please ask Father to move to Da'an Palace!"

"Please ask Father to move to Da'an Palace!"

Led by Li Lizhi, the princes and princesses spoke one after another.

These words seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Li Shimin was so angry that he trembled all over. He raised his right arm and pointed tremblingly at Li Lizhi, Li Chengqian and others.

"The treasonous son, the treasonous son..."

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has fainted!"

"Prince!"

"Somebody come!"

Li Chengqian sighed, "Please ask Dr. Sun to come to the palace and treat your majesty!"

call!
With Li Chengqian's words, everyone felt relieved.

This means that the plan to break into the palace has come to an end!

"Uncle."

Li Chengqian turned to look at Gao Shilian, who had a complicated expression on his face. "What do you want, Prince?"

"I'll trouble my uncle to take care of the rest..."

Li Chengqian sighed, "I feel lonely!"

Done.

Li Chengqian looked at Su Chen, and the two of them walked away slowly side by side, surrounded by two thousand elite soldiers.

"Farewell, Prince."

All the officials saluted and watched him go.

After Li Chengqian left, Gao Shilian took a deep breath and shouted, "Send the princes and princesses back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

"Where is the Minister of Rites?"

"exist."

"Immediately select an auspicious day, notify all countries, and hold the coronation ceremony!"

"Yes!"

"Where is the Minister of Industry?"

"exist!"

"Repair Xuanwu Gate immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Minister of War..."

As orders were issued one after another, the six machines burst out with amazing vitality at this moment.

……

Outside Xuanwu Gate.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered, crowded and looked around.

They wanted to see whether the prince won this time, or...

"Why is there no movement at all?"

"I heard from the people ahead that Xuanwu Gate was blown up!"

"really?"

"impossible?"

"Someone in front please tell us something, we can't see!"

"Kong Jijiu?!"

"It's Master Lu who has brought Kong Jijiu here!"

Exclamations came one after another, transmitted by mouth, reaching the back of the crowd.

Kong Yingda wiped the sweat from his face, followed Lu Chengqing, and brought several officials with him to the hundreds of thousands of people in a hurry.

Although the wind and snow were strong, what happened today was too much for his old heart to bear and he couldn't help sweating.

Facing all the eyes, Kong Yingda spoke loudly.

"Today's matter is over. The Crown Prince will choose a day to inherit the throne!"

"Everyone, please come back!"

"it is good!"

Cheers rang out one after another, and as word of mouth spread, they gathered into a torrent of public opinion.

The prince will choose a day to inherit the throne!

The prince succeeded!
He convinced His Majesty!

Thousands of people cheered, and as Kong Yingda and others bowed to see them off, they bowed and left.

Even those who remained neutral and still had grudges against Su Chen and the prince were now amazed at Li Chengqian's courage and influence.

The dust settles!

Prince, wins!
