The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 15 Li Yuan's Thoughts

Tai Chi Temple.

Since the Li Shimin uprising, Li Yuan's personal freedom has been restricted and he has been trapped in Tai Chi Hall and is not allowed to go out.

The palace was surrounded by Li Shimin's trusted soldiers guarding it.

But after all, Li Yuan is also an emperor. Although his freedom is temporarily restricted, it is still very simple for him to understand what is happening outside.

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ran into the hall with a panic-stricken look on his face and cried:
"Your Majesty, the information has been found out.

The Prince of Anlu County slaughtered all the Tiance Mansion, leaving only the princess, Princess Side, the Prince of Zhongshan County, and the Princess of Changle.

The King of Qin couldn't bear to have all his family members killed, so he finally let Prince Anlu leave Chang'an. "

After hearing the news, Li Yuan closed his eyes in pain.

Even though Li Shimin had everything wrong with him, he still felt heartbroken when he learned that Li Tai was beheaded and Li Ke was dragged to death by a horse.

These children are all his royal grandchildren.

They should have enjoyed the rich food and clothing that ordinary people don't have.

In the end, Li Shimin died tragically because of his rebellion and Li Shimin's selfishness.

After a long time, Li Yuan said slowly: "Chengdao's methods are really shocking. He is worthy of being the eldest grandson of my emperor."

In his words, there was no intention of blaming Li Chengdao for killing Tiance Mansion.

On the contrary, it is full of appreciation.

He looked at the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked: "Then the traitor just let Prince Anlu go away with his wife and children?"

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, the news just came.

King Qin ordered a thousand Xuanjia troops to follow King Anlu.

Until the Weishui River, a cavalry of 7000 people suddenly appeared and slaughtered all the Xuanjia troops.

Finally, King Anlu led seven thousand cavalry and left. "

Li Yuan immediately beamed with joy when he heard this. Li Chengdao's safe escape was the best news he had heard so far.

"Although I don't know if these [-] cavalrymen are behind the plan. But it is a great blessing that Chengdao can escape safely."

The eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs continued: "However, Prince Anlu did not release Princess Changsun and Prince Qin as agreed, but took them away with him."

Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Of course we can't let him go. With the hostage in hand, we can have an extra bargaining chip in negotiating with the traitor in the future.

My grandson Chengdao, it is really gratifying to have such skill and bravery at such a young age.

If he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be a good emperor, but it is a pity..."

Li Yuan shook his head, his face full of regret.

It turned out that after his death, Li Jiancheng ascended the throne.

After Li Jiancheng's death, the throne naturally fell on Li Chengdao.

It's a pity that Li Shimin was so bold that he killed his brother and forced his father!

Now the imperial city is completely controlled by Li Shimin, and he, the emperor, is also under house arrest.

When things have developed to this point, the throne is destined to belong to Li Shimin.

Although Li Chengdao's methods and plans were beyond Li Yuan's expectations, he did not think that Li Chengdao could defeat Li Shimin in the end.

How could Li Chengdao, a lonely man, compete with Li Shimin, who had a cloud of fierce generals and a rain of advisers?

Wait, Xingyang Zheng family.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart and quickly said to the Chief Eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Is Prince Anlu going all the way south?" The Chief Eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was slightly stunned and nodded immediately, "Your Majesty, he is indeed going all the way south. OK."

When Li Yuan heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with light.

"My grandson is indeed smart!
As long as we get to Xingyang and have Zheng's support, everything will be difficult to say.

In this case, why not help him again..."

Li Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and a bold idea had already formed in his mind.

……

Although more than ten days have passed since the Xuanwu Gate Incident, it is still a topic of secret discussion among the people of Chang'an City.

The impact of this incident is so great that it is simply impossible to suppress it.

The most important thing was that the shouts of Li Chengdao and the prince's guards that day had severely pinned the charge of "killing his brother to force his father, and being a traitor to his ministers and traitors" on Li Shimin's head.

Coupled with the large number of corpses that the soldiers were transporting outside the city every day these days, the mutiny was confirmed.

Although the court stated that the prince and King Qi forced the palace to rebel and were eventually executed by King Qin, not many people actually believed this statement.

Li Jiancheng had always had a good reputation and was the confirmed heir to the throne. What reason did he have to rebel?

In any era, gossip is human nature.

The scandal of royal brothers killing each other attracted even more attention.

Although they dared not discuss it openly, secretly the people in Chang'an City were spreading rumors that Li Shimin had usurped the throne and killed his brother and forced his father.

"The King of Qin is too cruel. He will even attack his brothers for power. If such a person becomes the emperor, it will be a disaster."

"I heard that the entire East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion were massacred, and none of the prince and Prince Qi's heirs survived. It's really... alas!"

"Who said that, Prince Anlu, the prince's disciple, is still alive. The crown prince, Princess Qi and other female family members are not dead. But I heard a friend on duty at Tiance Mansion said that Princess Qi seemed to have been taken to heaven. It’s time to start the government."

"Speaking of Prince Anlu, that's really remarkable. I heard from my son who was a soldier in the palace that that day, His Highness the Prince of Anlu, with one person blocking ten thousand people, forced his way from Xuanwu Gate to Tiance Mansion, and captured King Qin’s family finally forced King Qin to compromise.”

"What a teenage hero!"

"The prince is also pitiful. Now he is the only son left. It is estimated that King Qin will not let him go in the future."

"The King of Qin is too cold-blooded. The future of the Tang Dynasty is gloomy."

……

Remarks like this are widely spread among the people of Chang'an City.

Li Chengdao's reputation for being decisive and brave has completely spread.

In contrast, Li Shimin received a lot of scolding.

After all, killing one's brother and forcing one's father is too contrary to human ethics and seriously violates the values ​​​​that the people have always believed in.

Naturally, the words of the people in Chang'an City could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Prince of Qin.

However, Li Shimin turned a deaf ear to these remarks.

For him, no matter how much people talk about him privately, as long as it is not made public, it will not affect the overall situation.

If that's the case, why bother?

From ancient times to the present, there will always be winners and losers!

One day he ascends to the throne. What is the truth? Shouldn't we let him have the final say?
