Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 378 Xue Wanche Escapes

The wind and snow kept coming.

In Prince Qin's Mansion, Xue Wanche was still fighting with the people led by Qin Tian.

The strength of the two sides is almost the same, Qin Tian has a strong general like Hu Shiba, but Xue Wanche has an advantage in numbers.

People kept falling down, and blood stained the entire front of Prince Qin's mansion red.

Just as the two sides were fighting each other, a soldier came galloping.

"The Crown Prince and the King of Qi rebelled, and were killed by His Royal Highness King Qin. Now the Holy Majesty has handed over the military talisman to the King of Qin. All the troops inside and outside the capital are at the disposal of the King of Qin."

The voice came from afar, Xue Wanche was fighting, and when he heard the news, his whole body trembled.

"His Royal Highness was killed, how is this possible?"

Xue Wanche's heart sank, he belonged to the prince, now that the prince is dead, Li Shimin still can't settle accounts with him?
As soon as he thought about it, Xue Wanche immediately took a few cronies and broke through without stopping. Qin Tian saw that Xue Wanche was about to escape, but it was too late to chase after him. Moreover, there were still many cronies in the East Palace pestering them. No time to chase.

The soldiers who sent the letter finally came to the gate of King Qin's mansion.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has ordered that the guards of the East Palace, whoever surrenders, forget the past, if not, they will be killed without mercy."

The voices of the soldiers were very cold. The cronies of the East Palace saw that the crown prince was dead, and Xue Wanche also fled. Now that Qin Tian has a strong general like Hu Shiba, they have absolutely no chance of winning.

After looking at each other, they all threw their weapons into the snowdrift and surrendered.

Only then did Qin Tian heave a sigh of relief when Donggong's cronies surrendered.

"Where's your lord?"

"My lord is in the palace, and my lord has an order. After the palace of Prince Qin is safe, Lord Qin is invited to enter the palace immediately."

After hearing the words of the soldiers, Qin Tian nodded, and made some arrangements for the Prince Qin's residence, and he rode to the palace in the wind and snow.

When I walked to Xuanwu Gate, the whole street in front of Xuanwu Gate was still deserted, and there were many corpses piled up in front of Xuanwu Gate. The smell of blood from these corpses was still very strong. Sometimes, the pungent smell is nauseating.

There was a fierce battle here, and this battle was by no means comparable to Qin Tian's battle in front of Prince Qin's mansion.

There were corpses inside and outside the Xuanwu Gate, and some guards had already started to clean up the corpses. When they saw Qin Tian, ​​they couldn't help but respect him.

Although Qin Tian didn't fight at the Xuanwu Gate, after taking control of the situation, Li Shimin only said good things about Qin Tian. If these soldiers still can't see anything, then they are too stupid.

Qin Tian didn't pay too much attention to this, but hurried to the side hall where Li Shimin was.

When Qin Tian came to the side hall, there were already a lot of people gathered inside. Many of these people were covered with blood, but everyone was in high spirits.

Because they all know that they made the right bet. Now that the crown prince has been killed, Li Shimin will soon become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Then they all have the merits of rushing to the dragon, and this reward is probably indispensable, right?

The side hall was a bit lively, Li Shimin was sitting in front discussing the next thing with Li Ji and others.

"My lord..."

Qin Tian walked in, and when Li Shimin saw Qin Tian, ​​he got up and greeted him. Everyone couldn't help feeling jealous when they saw Qin Tian. They worked so hard here, but in the end, Qin Tian won the first prize. It's really unreasonable. You know, they are also responsible for the safety of the family members of Prince Qin's Mansion outside the palace.

"Okay, Qin Tian, ​​you are finally here. Is the Qin Palace safe?" Li Shimin smiled and grabbed Qin Tian's hand. Qin Tian broke free with some embarrassment, but he couldn't.

"My lord, Prince Qin's mansion is safe, but Xue Wanche has escaped."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "As long as Prince Qin's mansion is safe, that Xue Wanche won't be able to escape for long."

Regarding Xue Wanche, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously at all, Qin Tian smiled wryly, and Changsun Wuji said suddenly: "My lord, one Xue Wanche is naturally not enough, but there are still many people who depend on and support the prince in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and many of them are loyal. People, if Xue Wanche joins hands with them after fleeing, I am afraid that there will be some rebellions in the Tang Dynasty again, so I mean, if I can calm down and win over these former Eastern Palace officials as soon as possible, I must win over and calm them down as soon as possible."

Changsun Wuji is very good at governing the country. After he said this, Li Shimin nodded naturally: "The auxiliary machine is reasonable, so let's pass on the order. However, anyone who is willing to submit, no matter who is in the East Palace, will not be held accountable. .”

At this time, Li Shimin already regarded himself as the emperor, and any order was given by him in the position of the emperor. Qin Tian saw this at the side, his expression was slightly condensed, and he said: "My lord, you have decided to prepare Enthroned?"

On the way here, Qin Tian already discovered that the entire imperial palace has been controlled by Li Shimin's people. Li Yuan now has no soldiers and no power, basically tantamount to being abolished.

When Qin Tian said this, Cheng Yaojin laughed beside him: "Naturally, now that the prince is dead, the palace is under our control. If the prince is not enthroned, when will it be?"

"To tell you the truth, we have already discussed it just now, and we want the prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible." Yu Chigong also echoed beside him.

They are all heroes from the dragon. Only when Li Shimin ascends the throne early can they get the reward as soon as possible. At that time, they will be honored.

After Yu Chigong finished speaking, the others also started talking excitedly. Qin Tian listened, but his face sank slightly. Seeing Qin Tian like this, Li Shimin asked, "Qin Tian, ​​do you think there is any problem?"

After saying these words, everyone looked at Qin Tian. In this situation, of course, the sooner he ascends the throne, the better. Why did Qin Tian frown.

Being watched by everyone, Qin Tian could only bite the bullet and said: "The prince wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible, the subordinates understand, but the current situation in Tang Dynasty may not allow the prince to ascend the throne. First of all, the remnants of the East Palace have not yet been cleared. , if you ascend the throne, they will definitely say that you killed your brother and forced the palace, and at that time, this crime will probably follow the prince for the rest of his life."

When these words came out, everyone was taken aback, what they were doing was killing their brothers and forcing them into the palace, couldn't they just ascend the throne early?

Everyone didn't understand, but Li Shimin's expression moved slightly.

"what do you mean?"

"My lord is not yet a prince. It is unreasonable to want to ascend the throne like this. It is better to ask the sage to canonize the lord as a prince. During this time, clean up the remnants of the East Palace and appease the court. At that time, let the sage sit in the throne room." My lord, at that time, my lord can only be said to have killed Li Jiancheng to put an end to the chaos, and it cannot be regarded as killing my brother and forcing the palace."

After making a slight detour, and then waiting patiently for a while, things changed immediately, and Li Shimin secretly admired him, but he was very reluctant to give up the opportunity to become the throne immediately.

And at this moment, Hou Junji suddenly stood up: "My lord, you must ascend the throne as soon as possible."
