The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 311

This frightened those ministers, and one by one hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Shimin and begged for mercy.I hope that Li Shimin can stop this murderous maniac before Li Chengqian walks to his side.

Li Shimin was already trembling with anger at this time, and directly ordered Li Tai and the other princes to pull Li Chengqian back.Even so, more than ten people have already fallen under Li Chengqian's sword.

Li Chengqian, who was forcibly pulled back, said to Li Shimin with a face full of disbelief: "Father, if the fourth son hadn't been loyal to the father today, and secretly made false accusations to Hou Junji and others, I am afraid that you would be the one who fell today." .”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, not only Li Shimin was taken aback.Even Li Tai couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Because Li Chengqian said so, he put all the credit on Li Tai.And he himself became a fool.

Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian fiercely, and then said, "I'll talk about your matter later, and I'll settle the score with you after I've dealt with the business."

Then he opened his mouth and said to Hou Junji, "Do you have any wish before you die?"

"The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief, what else is there to say?" Hou Junji closed his eyes slightly and said.

After Li Shimin sighed, he opened his mouth and said to Wei Zheng: "I leave this matter to you to investigate thoroughly, and everyone must be caught. Let everyone take this as a warning and let them know what the consequences of rebellion are."

"The minister leads the decree." Wei Zheng said when he left the class.

Then Li Shimin continued to speak: "As long as you are not directly involved in Hou Junji's rebellion today, I will not hold you accountable."

"But you should also learn from it. After all, being a fool is not necessarily a good thing."

Li Shimin's words let those civil servants and generals who were kneeling on the ground breathe a sigh of relief.They kept kowtowing to Li Shimin one by one, and vowed to reform themselves.

From now on, I will be loyal to Li Shimin and will not be a fool.You will not give birth to the slightest disobedience.

Li Shimin didn't bother to talk to them, if it wasn't for these people to keep the court running.Do you think Li Shimin will make it easier for them?

Then Li Shimin said to Li Ke and other princes: "I am very pleased today. If someone of you stands up, I will not let you go."

"Father, don't worry, what flows in our body is the blood of the father. We will fight to the death for anything that is not good for the father. It's just that the fourth brother who was wronged today, please don't be offended." The princes said .

Li Shimin nodded, and then said to each other: "The rebellion of Hou Junji and Zhang Liang can be smashed today, and the King of Yue, Li Tai, should take the lead."

"Specially add Li Tai as the king of Wei, and give thousands of hectares of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold..."

"Li Yun, that is also the posthumous son of Wei Wang Li Xuanba, who was able to recognize his ancestor and return to his family today. He has made great contributions to today's commentary, and he is specially named King of Wei."

Li Tai and Li Yun went to work at the same time to thank Li Shimin.Then he stood aside in a well-behaved manner, listening to Li Shimin continue to lecture.

Immediately, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, and asked, "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"My son received a secret letter from the fourth son, saying that Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were planning to rebel. So he was worried about the safety of his father, so he returned to Chang'an City day and night."

"Fortunately, I came back in time, and the plot of these two traitors did not succeed. If I came back one step later, the consequences would be disastrous." Li Chengqian said with a complacent expression.

"Do you think that without you today, I would not be able to put down this rebellion?" Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.

"It should be possible, but there may be a price to pay. It may even be... Forget it, let's not talk about it, so as not to upset you, Father." Li Chengqian said hesitantly.

Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy, and he asked Changsun Wuji, "What should the Generalissimo of the three armies do for leaving the barracks without permission?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the general of the three armies left the barracks privately. This is a felony and should be beheaded for public display." Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin.

Now Li Chengqian will stop doing it, just listen to Li Chengqian say to Li Shimin: "Father, my son, King Qianliqin, even if you don't have credit, you have to work hard. Why do you want to kill your son?"

"When did I say I was going to kill you? But it is true that you left the barracks privately, so the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be forgiven."

"You don't have to go back before the battle of the two armies, let Li Jing take command of you. Also, you should continue to be your virtuous king." Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty must not do it. It is a taboo to change the commander of the three armies. But it is feasible to have Li Jing in charge of the three armies. It's just that the abolition of the prince, the emperor please think twice." Wei Zheng said hastily.

"Host, please accept the task generated by the super dandy system."

"Task name: Spit out Li Shimin's blood."

"Mission level: SSSS."

"Mission reward: the host can open an advanced function shop."

"Mission punishment: the host will become a rabbit for three months, and will also have lifelong sequelae."

"Damn, this is cheating myself to death. Is this cheating? If this is also cheating, then I would rather be a dad."

While complaining in his heart, Li Chengqian showed a distorted expression.I can't wait to drag Bingru out of the super dandy system now and beat him up.

But Li Chengqian's expression was different in the eyes of others.They felt that it was Li Chengqian who was deposed as the prince and felt sad.

At this time, Li Shimin spoke again: "As the heir of the country, the crown prince of the East Palace, he does not know what is important to do and does whatever he wants. Today, he continued to kill several ministers in the Tai Chi Hall. How can such a person be a crown prince?"

Li Shimin's words made Wei Zheng speechless for a moment, after all, what Li Chengqian did was indeed a little out of line.

Even Wei Zheng was very angry sometimes, but Wei Zheng did not give up because of this, and he opposed the abolition of the prince.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion has just overwhelmed people's hearts. It might not be a wise move to abolish the Crown Prince at this time."

"Besides, there is a great battle at Yumenguan now. If the prince is abolished at this time, I am afraid that the soldiers in front will be unstable."

"At the same time, the position of the crown prince is vacant. I'm afraid all the princes covet the East Palace. Therefore, I feel that the emperor must absolutely not abolish the crown prince."

After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded. After all, everything Wei Zheng said made sense.But before Li Shimin opened his mouth, Li Chengqian started making trouble again.

I just heard Li Chengqian say to Li Shimin: "Why did the emperor want to abolish the son's position as the prince, the son is absolutely aware of it."

"Now that the fourth son has made such great achievements, how can a little Wei Wang satisfy the fourth son. It's better for the father to give the prince to the fourth son directly."
