Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 236 The dust has settled, King Qin wins!

When Qin Tian was about to go out, he was surprised to find that the entire city of Chang'an seemed to be under lockdown.

It was clearly broad daylight, but there were soldiers guarding everywhere and no one was allowed to come in or out at will.

Anyone who is dissatisfied will be taken away directly by the soldiers.

Qin Tian frowned slightly, his consciousness instantly released, and it only took him a moment to understand what happened.

He saw the strong man who came to borrow clothes the day before yesterday. Although his appearance had changed, his aura would not change.

Qin Tian suddenly understood when he saw someone calling him Yuchi Jingde.

I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see the whole development of the Xuanwu Gate incident with my own eyes!

The person in front of Yuchi Jingde was a noble young man who looked elegant and elegant. Qin Tian quickly recognized that person as Li Shimin.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin looked like this in reality, somewhat like a swinger from a rich family.

At this time, Li Shimin led Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Wenshiji, Qin Shubao and others to enter the court and rush quickly.

At this time, the defense forces in the DPRK had basically been taken over by Li Shimin, so he laid an ambush at Xuanwu Gate.

At this time, Li Jiancheng received news that his younger brother had actually sued him for filthy harem, and his father was preparing to summon them to the court to meet him!

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji therefore planned strategies in private.

Li Yuanji thought that something was fishy, ​​and there seemed to be some turmoil outside, so he shouldn't take the initiative to go out for the time being.

You should be at home now and take precautions. Waiting for your father to send someone personally, it would be too late to make preparations.

Therefore, he suggested that Li Jiancheng claim to be ill and not go to court.

Li Jiancheng doesn't think so.

The capital is heavily guarded, and the only person who threatens him now is Li Shimin. Li Shimin's right-hand man is gone, and he has taken over the military power. What else can he do?

Of course Li Jiancheng wouldn't care.

Even if Li Shimin wants to start an uprising, those people must have made some moves, and he will definitely not not receive any news!

You know, he is the prince of the East Palace. If Li Shimin is planning to cause trouble and he doesn't receive any news, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

Li Yuanji also felt that what Li Jiancheng said was reasonable, so he didn't take it to heart.

Just to be on the safe side, they still brought a lot of people with them before going out.

At the same time, Li Yuan was boating in Linhu Palace.

To be honest, he didn't take Li Shimin's lawsuit against his two brothers at all.

Wouldn't it be outrageous to say that the two of them were messing around in the harem?

No one will believe this!

But really speaking, there must be people like Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the harem.

Doesn’t he know who the concubines say good things to when they are sleeping?

Not to mention the two of them, doesn't Li Shimin also have his own spies in the harem?

It’s just a tacit understanding.

Li Yuan still planned to get over this matter with Yihe Xini as before.

He really couldn't bear to give up the power in his hands.

If he wasn't so indecisive, if he was willing to hand over his position early, if...

Of course, what happened today would not happen.

It's a pity that there is no if in the world, and today Li Yuan suffered the bitter fruit of his indecision.

Not long after, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji arrived at Linhu Palace.

As soon as they stepped in here, the two of them immediately noticed changes.

The guards here are all strangers, and they are very vigilant. They don't look like they did before.

Especially after they saw Li Shimin, they immediately turned around and prepared to return eastward to the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion.

Who is going to complain about the man wearing armor and riding a horse?

Seeing Li Shimin like this, if you don't run away, you'll be a fool!

Li Jiancheng also suffered from a large number of dead souls.

How dare he? How did he do it? !

Countless questions lingered in Li Jiancheng's mind, but it was destined that no one could answer his questions.

If he leaves now, Li Jiancheng still has a glimmer of hope.

He has military power in his hands, and the East Palace also has enough defensive power, so as long as he returns to the East Palace, he can naturally resist Li Shimin's attack!

Li Jiancheng concluded that Li Shimin did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands. Once he could not catch up with him and waited until he returned to the East Palace to prepare, Li Shimin would definitely be defeated by then!

There is no doubt that Li Jiancheng has a very keen sense of smell and his judgment is correct.

Li Shimin was also a little confused when he saw Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji turning around and running away.

He didn't expect that these two people were so vigilant, without even the slightest hesitation!

Li Shimin shouted after Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, and took the lead in setting up his bow and arrow and started shooting.

Li Yuanji had long been suspicious, and naturally he was carrying weapons and equipment. Upon seeing this, he quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow at Li Shimin.

But at this time, several people were galloping on horseback, and Li Yuanji was being chased. He was very anxious and missed Li Shimin two or three times in a row.

Arrow feathers passed by Li Shimin.

But the person behind him was shot.

On the fourth shot, Li Yuanji finally hit.

However, both Li Shimin and the people behind him were wearing armor and sharp swords, and the arrows could not penetrate their armor.

On the contrary, Li Shimin used his bow and shot arrows. Both sides went back and forth, shooting continuously.

Under this kind of running, the hit rate of arrows is not very high.

But Li Shimin only needed one hit.

Finally, Li Jiancheng was affected by the arrow feathers and fell off his horse.

If a horse fell off at such a high speed, there would naturally be little chance of survival.

The two sides were chasing each other, and Yuchi Gong also led more than 70 cavalry to arrive one after another.

He was still wearing the clothes Qin Tian saw yesterday. Time was tight and he couldn't even wear the armor completely.

The soldiers around Yuchi Gong shot Li Yuanji with arrows.

Unlike Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji still wore armor and other armor under his clothes.

He didn't expect that such caution would actually save him at this time.

Li Yuanji fell off his horse, but he did not give up. He actually stood there, raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and hit Li Shimin's mount with one arrow!

The horse led Li Shimin and rushed forward relying on its inertia.

When the horse fell down, Li Shimin naturally couldn't get up.

Li Yuanji knew that success or failure depended on this, so he quickly rushed towards Li Shimin. He held a long knife and slashed straight at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's ghost was so strong that he rolled around like a lazy donkey and could barely avoid it, but he was still covered in glory.

Li Shimin was not an ordinary person. He seized the opportunity and struggled to crawl out from under the horse, knocking the long knife in Li Yuanji's hand to the ground.

The two men quickly fought together.

At this time, it was too late to fight hand-to-hand and grab the long knife.

So Li Yuanji simply used the long bow in his hand to strangle Li Shimin's neck, preparing to strangle him to death.

Just when Li Yuanji was about to succeed, Yu Chigong and others rushed over.

Li Yuanji knew that he had lost the best opportunity to kill Li Shimin. If he didn't leave, he would really have no choice but to die in Li Shimin's hands.

Li Yuanji hurriedly let go of Li Shimin and wanted to run into Wude Hall to seek protection from Li Yuan.

Li Shimin knelt aside and retched. He was almost killed by Li Yuanji.

Seeing Li Shimin waving his hand towards him, Yuchi Gong immediately realized what he was doing. He chased on horseback, raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and actually killed Li Yuanji with one arrow!

At the same time, the fighting outside the palace was also fierce. Feng Li, the cavalry general of the East Palace Yi Guard, Xue Wanche, the deputy guard, and Xie Shufang, the left cavalryman of Qu Zhi Mansion, also reacted very quickly.

After receiving the news, they quickly led 2,000 elite soldiers and horses from the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion to rush to Xuanwu Gate.

Li Shimin had already prepared for this. Zhang Gongjin, Changsun Wuji and other nine people were ambushing Xuanwu Gate.

Seeing the army approaching, they naturally knew that they were unable to resist. At the critical moment, Zhang Gongjin, with his extraordinary arm strength, actually closed the door alone to block Feng Li and others.

"There is a rebellion in the East Palace, why don't we quickly wipe out the remaining party!"

Changsun Wuji shouted loudly.

At this time, the general guarding Xuanwu Gate was General Yunhui Jing Junhong.

He was originally a demoted general and always wanted to stand out. In addition, he was already half Li Shimin before, so he naturally knew when to stand out.

So he and Zhonglang General Lu Shiheng took the lead to go out to meet the enemy.

It's just a pity that they seem to have overestimated their combat effectiveness.

Originally, he just wanted to hide his background, but he died on the spot without even thinking about it.

But this also bought Li Shimin a lot of time.

Moreover, according to the orders of the superior, the soldiers guarding Xuanwu Gate had to fight hard with Xue Wanche and others in the East Palace.

After all, there are only a few guards on the Xuanwu Gate side. The longer the war lasts, the greater their disadvantage will be.

Seeing Xue Wanche beating the drum and shouting, hoping to break through the defense line at any time, Yu Chigong finally rushed over.

He held the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in his hand and shouted loudly: "Prince Li Jiancheng and King Li Yuanji of Qi have been executed, why don't we just surrender quickly!"

After discovering their master's mobile phone, the people in the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion immediately lost their fighting spirit and quickly collapsed.

Xue Wanche, Feng Li and others took advantage of the chaos and fled.

The people Li Shimin arranged were intertwined with each other, and there were almost no loopholes.

Except for some accidents when killing Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, everything else was within Li Shimin's plan.

After calming down the chaos outside Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin himself led people to appease the officials in the palace, took all the power for his own use, and took back his military power.

After Yuchi Gong disposed of the bodies of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he was arranged by Li Shimin to serve as a guard next to Li Yuan.

When the coup occurred, Li Yuan was rowing on the sea pond in Linhu Palace.

Li Yuan was shocked when he heard the movement outside.

He wanted to go out to check the situation, but found out that at some point, the people around him also became Li Shimin's people!

He was actually trapped in the Lakeside Palace and couldn't even get out!

Li Yuan's whole body was cold.

He never thought that his indulgence would lead to today's results!

Li Yuan never thought that his son would be so decisive and launch a coup!

Li Yuan felt very sad. Could it be that today was the day when he would die?

His heart was in turmoil.

He didn't want his sons to kill each other, but he didn't want to directly hand over the power in their hands.

He has only been emperor for a few days, and he has not been emperor yet. How can he hand it over?

For a moment, Li Yuan didn't even know what to do or say.

No matter what he says or does now, it is actually of no use.

Until Yuchi Gong came to Linhu Palace wearing armor and holding Changyu in his hand.

Yuchi Gong didn't even want to show respect. He went straight to Li Yuan's ship.

Li Yuan was immediately shocked.

He recognized Yu Chigong and naturally knew that he was Li Shimin's subordinate.

Could it be that Li Shimin has won and is coming to kill him?

Li Yuan forced himself to calm down and said, "Who is causing trouble today? What is Aiqing doing here?"

When Yuchi Gong saw this, he hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Because the prince and the King of Qi were in trouble, His Highness the King of Qin raised troops to kill them."

"The King of Qin...His Royal Highness the King of Qin was worried about alarming His Majesty, so he sent his ministers as guards."

Li Yuan looked at the people around him and said helplessly: "This happened today, what should we do now?"

The ministers around Li Yuan glanced at each other, and then Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda took the lead to stand up and said: "The Crown Prince and King Qi have never participated in the anti-Sui strategy, and they have not made any contributions to the world."

"What happened today is just because they were jealous of King Qin's great achievements and high prestige."

"Fortunately, now, King Qin has put an end to the chaos. With this, King Qin's achievements have overshadowed the universe and brought the world back to its center."

"In my opinion... Your Majesty should make King Qin the crown prince..."

Li Yuan knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

To put it bluntly, this is fighting for the position of crown prince.

Since Li Shimin is the heir apparent now, it means that he will not take action against him.

In this way, his life must be worry-free. In this case, Li Yuan has put down half of the hanging letter.

Although his brother's feud made him extremely sad, in the face of his own life, those things didn't seem so important.

"This is what I want."

Those people praised him repeatedly.

But Li Yuan never expected that Li Shimin was still not satisfied with this.

"Entrust national affairs to the prince, so that there will be no more troubles."

Just now he was asking for the crown prince position, but now he is trying to force Li Yuan to abdicate!

It couldn't be easier to establish Li Shimin as the crown prince.

Of course Li Yuan is not under any pressure.

But let him hand over the rights in his hands... Li Yuan was silent.

"That's what I wish for."

Li Yuan replied bitterly.

If he doesn't agree...

Li Yuan looked at the sea pool in Linhu Palace and gave a helpless smile.

I'm just afraid that I will fall into the water and die today.

Li Shimin is even capable of persecuting his brothers, so what can he do if he is accused of patricide?

At this time, the battle between the Su Wei Army and the Qin Prince's Mansion and the East Palace and Qi Prince's Mansion has not yet ended.

Upon hearing what Li Yuan said, Yuchi Gong was immediately overjoyed and quickly asked Emperor Gaozu to issue a personal edict ordering all armies to accept the King of Qin's disposal and end all rebellions.

Li Yuan glanced at the people around him and sighed helplessly.

"I...why is this happening?"

No one in the court spoke.

It's not because you are too indecisive, otherwise you would never be like this.

If Li Yuan had made his decision early, the ministers in the court would not have been forced to choose a prince to side with.

Li Yuan was entirely to blame for the current situation.
