Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2272
The guards around Li Chengqian were killed one by one.

There are fewer and fewer people around him to protect him.

Chang Gui's knife was getting closer and closer to him.

Maybe soon, Li Chengqian will become their dead soul.

Chang Gui has already seen hope, great hope.

If he can succeed, his status will definitely be able to take another step forward, right?

He can't control that much anymore, he can only kill.

Although Li Chengqian treated him favorably in the past, otherwise he would not have been allowed to guard the Xuanwu Gate, but he belongs to Changsun Wuji, and his family members are all in the hands of Changsun Wuji, so he has already become a thief. Ship, no choice.

This court hall, once entered, is involuntary.

He has involved too many interests and too much power. In the face of these things, various intrigues and mutual killings are indispensable.

"kill!"

Chang Gui yelled angrily again, his soldiers and horses killed even more crazily, and they were about to kill Li Chengqian.

But at this moment, the sound of fighting suddenly came from not far away, and then Yuan Lou rushed over with Jin Yiwei.

"Kill, protect His Royal Highness, protect His Royal Highness."

Yuan Lou rushed to kill them, but they didn't dare to stay for a moment, they ran over in a hurry, or in other words, after getting the news that Chang Gui wanted to rebel, they had already started to come here.

Jin Yiwei are all masters, after they rushed over, the situation changed immediately.

It was originally very unfavorable to Li Chengqian, but after Jin Yiwei came, Chang Gui's soldiers and horses basically had little power to parry.

Li Chengqian looked at everything in front of him, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that he had succeeded and the rebels would fail.

And this failure heralded his ascension to the throne, and no one could stop him.

Fighting, fighting, Chang Gui's pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and his soldiers and horses are chopped down one by one.

"Yuan Lou, if you kill Li Chengqian, the people behind me will let you enjoy all the glory and wealth, and they will give you high officials and generous salary. Everything you want will be given to you."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chang Gui wanted to instigate Yuan Lou, but after he finished speaking, Yuan Lou just laughed: "Although the Holy Majesty is dead, he wants me to defend His Highness the Crown Prince to the death. My Yuan Lou's life is the Holy Majesty's." , Now it belongs to the crown prince, and you are treasonous, the crime is unforgivable, come here, kill me, and protect His Royal Highness the crown prince."

Yuan Lou shouted and killed the past, Chang Gui's situation was getting worse and worse, Prince Li Chengqian, under the protection of everyone, had already broken through and came to a safe place.

And it wasn't until this time that Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"The crime of rebellion this time is very expensive. You and the other officers and men are only bewitched. If you are willing to surrender, the crown prince will not be blamed for the past, but if you refuse to surrender, you will be killed."

Li Chengqian didn't want to delay here any longer, and these soldiers and horses might really just be bewitched by Chang Gui, he needed to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

Seeing that they were about to fail, Chang Gui's officers and men couldn't help feeling a little terrified. Hearing Li Chengqian's words, they immediately seemed to see hope.

"Surrender, I surrender..."

One person dropped his weapon and surrendered, and when the others saw this, their survival instinct came out, and they all surrendered one after another.

"I surrender too, I surrender too."

"I surrender too..."

Everyone began to surrender one by one, Chang Gui saw this scene and knew that the situation was over.

"You...you..."

He also wanted to surrender, but his family members were all in the hands of Changsun Wuji, so he couldn't surrender.

He still wanted to continue fighting, but he was captured by Jin Yiwei as soon as he rushed over.

The rebellion subsided in this way. There were corpses and blood on the ground. The sunset in the distance had already set, but the sky did not dim.

A ray of evening wind was blowing on the face, with indescribable softness and warmth.

Li Chengqian came in front of Chang Gui, and said coldly: "I think I'm not mean to you, but you want to murder me. Tell me, who is the person who instigated you behind the scenes? If you are willing to explain, I can let your family live."

Li Chengqian is a smart person, so he naturally wouldn't think that this matter was done by Chang Gui alone. This matter must have been done by his younger brothers. However, they are all in their own fief, so they did such a thing so quickly. Also unlikely.

Therefore, behind Chang Gui, there must be someone who has directly contacted him, and he needs to know who this person is.

The conditions he gave were already very generous. In comparison, when a person dies, he will definitely find a way out for my own family, and he, Li Chengqian, is now giving his son a way out.

However, after hearing this, Chang Gui laughed loudly: "It's late, it's late..."

It's too late and it's over.

Li Chengqian did offer a very generous condition, but unfortunately, this condition did not hold.

After Chang Gui laughed like this, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and his whole face became hideous and terrifying.

The Xuanwu Gate seemed very quiet, except for some wind noise.

"His Royal Highness, this matter can be investigated slowly. Now that His Royal Highness's safety is important, His Royal Highness should return to the palace as soon as possible."

A guard reminded Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian nodded, but he did not leave in a hurry, but glanced at Yuan Lou, and said: "Commander Yuan, in the palace, the safety of this palace is left to you Jin Yiwei. "

Jin Yiwei was able to rush over at this time, obviously to be loyal to him, but these Jin Yiwei must also have some anxiety in their hearts, for fear of what he, the future emperor, will do to Jin Yiwei, then they will have no future, and they have offended a lot before People, without the protection of Jin Yiwei, their fate may be very bad.

They did a great job in saving him, so he, Li Chengqian, naturally couldn't chill their hearts.

When he said this and arranged for them to protect his own safety, he was expressing to them that Jin Yiwei would still be Jin Yiwei in the future, and would still be the emperor's confidant, no matter who the emperor was.

After hearing this, all Jin Yiwei couldn't help being a little excited, but at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. Their choice this time was right.

On Yuan Lou's side, he quickly took orders and said, "Here!"

Li Chengqian entered the palace with the support of a group of guards and Jin Yiwei. At this time, Li Chengqian was considered to have completely controlled the palace. Besides, in Chang'an City, those forbidden troops also began to mobilize frequently to ensure the safety of every place.

Outside Chang'an City, after receiving Li Chengqian's order, some soldiers and horses also began to gather in Chang'an City.

After entering the palace, some officials have already started preparing for the crown prince Li Chengqian's enthronement. Most of these officials are members of the Ministry of Rites, but most of them are Li Chengqian's cronies. Tomorrow when Li Chengqian ascends the throne, they will absolutely not allow any accidents.

Anyone who may affect the crown prince's accession to the throne tomorrow must be removed.
