Chapter 578
As Qin Shubao broke the door, Zuo Wuwei's troops had poured into the inner palace. At this moment, Li Ke's group turned from bad to good, alternating offense and defense, and this place has become a one-sided massacre.

Li Shimin ordered Qin Shubao to suppress the enemy, and within a cup of tea, Hou Junji's five hundred dead soldiers became five hundred dead men, lying on the ground in the palace in a disorderly manner, motionless.

"The late general Qin Qiong came late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." The overall situation in the palace was settled, Qin Shubao put away his weapon, strode up to Li Shimin, and bowed down.

Seeing this, Li Shimin quickly stepped forward to help Qin Shubao, saying: "If Shubao hadn't arrived in time today, I am afraid that I and the king of Chu would have become the souls of the rebels. Shubao has done nothing wrong, so how can we talk about forgiveness?" , please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Shubao thanked him and stood up.

After Qin Shubao got up, Li Shimin asked curiously again: "How did Shubao know the plot of the rebel and lead the troops to escort him?"

Qin Shubao will be here, naturally because Li Ke said hello earlier, after all, since Li Ke dared to enter the East Palace, he naturally prepared a backup, and Qin Shubao, who was stationed at the Jingfengs who were separated from the East Palace by a wall, was Li Ke's backup .

However, Qin Shubao would not tell Li Shimin the truth. Qin Shubao replied: "Today, at the end of today, I will personally lead the troops to patrol. When I passed Jingfeng Gate, I heard the sound of fighting in the East Palace, and I heard the whistle of the Xuanjia Army. Di, I know that His Majesty is in danger, so I storm the East Palace."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin smiled and said, "The Eastern Palace is where the Crown Prince lives. If you attack the Eastern Palace by force, you won't be afraid that you will make a mistake and bear the blame?"

Qin Shubao replied: "The last general is from Lord Xuanjia, and the military order that the Xuanjia army must advance after hearing the flute is made by His Majesty. His Majesty's military order is greater than the sky. As long as there is His Majesty's military order, let alone the Jingfeng Gate of the Eastern Palace." That's right, even the last general of the Suzaku sect in Taiji Palace dares to attack."

"Hahaha"

Hearing Qin Shubao's words, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, Li Shimin said: "Shubao, you are also a dignified prince, and you still act so recklessly, regardless of the consequences."

Qin Shubao said: "In front of others, the last general is a great general and the Duke of the state, but in front of your majesty, the last general is still a pawn of Tiance Mansion, fighting for your majesty, never regretting death. My Tang Dynasty has been peaceful all these years, we These old generals of the Tiance Mansion are also rich and honored, but what the generals think about every day, what they dream about in their dreams is the days when they fought with His Majesty."

Hearing Qin Shubao's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel quite moved. Qin Shubao and Hou Junji were both veteran ministers of Tiance Mansion. Qin Shubao held a high position but remained unchanged from his original aspirations, but Hou Junji had become greedy for profit and changed his appearance.

Li Shimin sighed: "It's a pity that not everyone is like Shubao."

Qin Shubao said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter how many rebellions there are, they are just clowns. With veterans like us around, no one in the world can touch His Majesty."

Li Shimin was greatly relieved when he heard the words, and asked Li Ke: "Ke'er, Shubao has done a great job in escorting you and saved your life. How do you think you should reward him?"

Qin Shubao's service in escorting the driver should be rewarded heavily, but Li Ke is Qin Shubao's disciple, and everyone knows their relationship, so it is inconvenient for Li Ke to invite too much reward for Qin Shubao.

Li Ke thought for a while, and replied: "The honor of the general is already extremely great, and it is difficult to improve his title and official position, but if he only rewards gold and silver for his escort, it will seem weak, why not reward his son Huai Dao instead? "

Uncle Qin's treasure book is listed in the Zhu Kingdom, the official worships the General Zuo Wuwei, the title of Duke, and there are twelve halberds erected outside the gate of the Qin Mansion. As far as generals are concerned, they are already extremely honored. It is a good idea to reward his son Qin Huaidao as Li Ke said.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, then according to what the King of Chu said, Ce Shubao's eldest son, Qin Huaidao, is the Duke of Licheng County, and he can choose another son to pass on. As for the official position, Qin Huaidao is still young, so he will first worship General Youwei."

The title of county duke is not outstanding in Chang'an, where the rich and powerful are like clouds, but the sons of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, even though their fathers were already extremely powerful ministers, there are only a few people who have been ennobled to the county duke by their children, which is very rare .

What's more, Qin Huaidao is the eldest son of Qin Shubao, and he will inherit the position of Qin Shubao's Duke in the future, and Li Shimin also said that in the future, after Qin Huaidao becomes the Duke, Qin Huaidao's County Duke can choose another son to pass on. It's about giving the Qin family a double family.

Qin Huaidao is not here, so naturally he has no way to thank you, Qin Shubao heard the words, and hurriedly bowed: "The last general thanked His Majesty Long En on behalf of the dog."

This time when Li Shimin was assassinated, in terms of the merits of protecting the driver, although Qin Shubao contributed a lot, he still had to take a back seat, because Li Ke made the most contribution to saving the driver this time.

But for some reason, after Li Shimin rewarded Qin Shubao, he didn't mention the reward and Li Ke's achievements. There are two possible reasons. One is that Li Ke and Li Shimin are father and son, not outsiders , there is no need to be so particular, and the second possibility is that Li Shimin already has a plan to reward Li Ke, but the reward is too large, and it may be inconvenient to propose it immediately.

But now Li Ke is the head of the princes, and also leads the northern capital of Taiyuan. Apart from the position of the East Palace, what else can make Li Ke go further?Thinking about this, Li Ke couldn't help guessing Li Shimin's thoughts.

And just after Li Shimin rewarded Qin Shubao, Li Chengqian, who had just hid in Guangtian Palace, was found out by Zhang Shigui's leader. Zhang Shigui ordered someone to drag Li Chengqian, and dragged him to Li Shimin.

The current Li Chengqian's appearance is even worse than before, with disheveled hair and plaster on his face. It is obvious that Zhang Shigui also wasted some effort in arresting Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was dragged out of Guangtian Palace like a dead dog, and was thrown at Li Shimin's feet, with a dejected look on his face, who would have thought that the person in front of him was actually the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin just stared at Li Chengqian, silent, and Li Chengqian shrank back on the ground, not daring to speak, the scene seemed to froze all of a sudden.

After a while, Li Ke finally spoke first, Li Ke stretched out his hand to support Li Chengqian, and said to Li Chengqian: "Brother, please admit your mistake to Dad, we are a family after all, there is nothing we can't do. "

What Li Chengqian did was indeed a big mistake. If Li Shimin opened his mouth to scold him, Li Chengqian decided that he would have to accept it, and dared not reply, but when Li Ke opened his mouth, Li Chengqian was instantly set on fire.

In Li Chengqian's view, he was able to be what he is today because of Li Ke. If Li Ke hadn't been pressing every step of the way, why would he have taken the risk to get to this point.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and slapped Li Ke's hand violently, and said with resentment: "You stop being hypocritical here, what does it matter if I admit it or not!"

Li Ke's hand was already injured just now when he was grabbing an arrow for Li Shimin, and now he was beaten so violently by Li Chengqian. Just after the bleeding stopped, the bandaged wound ruptured again, and the bandaged white cloth was also soaked in the blood donated from Li Ke's palm. Dyed red, it is particularly eye-catching.

Seeing this, Li Shimin said angrily, "Your younger brother is injured, how dare Nizi do this."

Li Chengqian said: "Li Ke's wolf ambition has long been eyeing my crown prince. If it wasn't for him, why would I do this."

Hearing this, Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian, and said heartbrokenly: "You don't know right from wrong, you don't know right from wrong, you were deceived by Hou Junji, and you even put the blame on others. Do you know that just before you forced the palace, your brother was still there I plead for you, please let me keep your crown prince!"

Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, Li Chengqian was obviously very disappointed in him, and he was very attached to Li Kexin. Now, no matter how much he said, he would just humiliate himself, so he kept silent.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's appearance, and was extremely disappointed in him. Li Shimin told Zhang Shigui: "You arrange someone to take over the East Palace, replace the inner and outer guards, and the matter of the crown prince will be discussed at the court meeting tomorrow."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned his head and left without looking at Li Chengqian again.
