Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 464 The Change of Xuanwu Gate (2)
-
In front of Xuanfu Gate
Xu Zhen's toulu rolled on the ground and was trampled to the ground, but he was not lonely because there were more bodies beside him.The princess army, although small in number, is one of the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty. With the addition of the three thousand princess army, King Qin's people came one after another, but they were unable to defeat them.

However, Yuchi Gong is a big trouble.He was dancing among the soldiers with a big axe, one counted as ten, a brave man like Li Yuanji couldn't get close to him.As a last resort, Li Yuanji ordered to release arrows, and Yuchi Jingde, who was pierced by a hundred arrows, scolded the prince for being hypocritical.After scolding, even if he was liuxue with hundreds of holes, he still raised his big axe and flew towards Li Yuanji.But human life is fragile after all, he didn't even throw out a flying axe.

Princess Pingyang reoccupied Xuanfumen, saw the miserable scenes inside, and didn't know what Yuchigong used to knock it down quietly.Before, Pei Ju was able to enter through Xuanfu Gate.

"Fourth brother, hurry up and take someone to Xuanwumen to see if Big Brother is okay."

"Here!" Li Yuanji was very obedient in front of this sister.

At this time, the Xuanwu Gate stood at the entrance of the Xuanwu Gate, confronting the hundreds of dead men led by King Qin.

"Shimin, I really didn't expect that our two brothers could come to this point..." Li Jiancheng was on the horse, not knowing what to say, looking at his second brother, who was about to slaughter with a dead man like a tiger and a wolf. own up.

"Hey, big brother, four years ago, you and I were so brotherly. I didn't expect it, you didn't expect it, and I didn't expect it." Li Shimin looked up at the sky and said: "Look at the sky, mother's stars, tell me Me, my mother is watching us from the sky. But, these years, my mother must be lonely. How about, big brother, why don't you go and accompany him?"

"Oh? Do you still remember your mother?" Li Jiancheng smiled, and his smile was full of sarcasm.

"Brother, you don't have to say that about me, and don't lie to yourself. In your heart, you have long wanted to put your second brother to death. You also know how attractive the emperor's seat is? I admit, you are right My goodness, I also admit that I will be the emperor in the future, and it is also yours." Li Shimin said ruthlessly: "Don't talk nonsense, today either you will die or I will die. If you cooperate, then I will leave your whole body and let you take care of yourself." Go see the queen mother!"

Li Jiancheng raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I have one last question. If you can answer me, I will die without regret."

"Speak quickly?"

"How did you buy Xu Qing?"

"Hmph, how can Xu Qing be bribed? I have someone tie him up, how about it?"

"Are you so sure?"

"Don't believe me?" Li Shimin laughed and said, "Then I will give you a chance. Call him three times to see if he can open the door for you?"

Li Jiancheng cupped his hands and said, "Okay, thank you second brother, if there is no one, then it is true that destiny is with you and not with me."

Then, Li Jiancheng shouted: "Xu Qing... Xu Qing, it's me, Prince... Xu Qing!"

At this moment, the iron gate swung up, and then, the gate creaked and opened almost at the same time.Li Shimin was shocked, and hurriedly asked his archers to release arrows. Li Jiancheng jumped off his horse, and then the horse made a cover.Rushing into the Xuanwu Gate, bang, the gate was closed again.

On the city wall, torches were lit, and Xu Qing appeared on the door.

"Xu Qing, you, how could you..." Li Shimin looked at Xu Qing on the city wall in disbelief, and Xu Qing looked back at Li Yuan, and at the hard crossbow in Li Yuan's hand, he laughed: "The emperor , Your Majesty, is this considered okay, don’t make a malfunction, that crossbow arrow.”

Li Yuan tilted the crossbow's head slightly downwards and said, "Prince is fine, please persuade King Qin again, if King Qin dies, I will still shoot you through. By the way, I can't tell that I'm here..."

Xu Qing's soldiers have a problem, although they are very loyal, but because of Xu Qing's selflessness, they are loyal to the imperial court, Li Yuan, not Xu Qing.So as soon as Li Yuan appeared, he asked the people on the city wall to shoot and kill everyone in the school yard.Then, he took a hard crossbow and forced Xu Qing to save the lives of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

No, as soon as Li Jiancheng entered the Xuanwu Gate, he saw corpses all over the floor.On the city wall, Xu Qing and Xu Qing smiled and said: "King Qin, give up, the destiny belongs to the prince, you can be your idle king at ease. You don't think about yourself, you don't want to inherit Qian, and you don't want to do it for yourself." Think about those fighters you were born to die for? How many people will be killed by your rebellion."

Li Shimin was shaken, and now, he is no longer taking risks, but hitting stones with pebbles.Because, with Xu Qing's strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to attack.However, if he surrenders now, wouldn't he be killed at the neck?He asked: "Xu Qing, you and I both know that what happened now has already reached the ears of my father, can you forgive me, does it count?"

Xu Qing was speechless, just now he had set the price randomly by himself, and he really didn't think that Li Yuan would spare him.But at this time, Li Yuan said behind Xu Qing's back: "Just say that as long as he surrenders, today's matter can be said in another way."

So Xu Qing shouted: "King Qin, if you lay down your weapons, what happened today will be regarded as the rebellion of your old subordinates who have died, and you and the prince will jointly subdue them. It has nothing to do with you. As for the families of those dead generals, they will also declare exile. But it’s actually going back to my hometown and enjoying ordinary life.”

Xu Qing clearly saw the tears on Li Shimin's face, but at this moment, a few more troops came from a distance, Xu Qing took a look, and there were quite a few people.It was Changsun Wuji who led the team.

Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin from a distance: "King Qin is unshakable. I will lead three thousand dead men here. As long as I break through the Xuanwu Gate in one fell swoop, I will be able to force the emperor, and King Qin will inherit the throne tonight!"

Li Shimin was stunned, but he didn't know what to say, and Changsun Wuji didn't intend to wait for him, and directly said to King Qin's subordinates: "Everyone, listen to my orders now and start attacking the city!"

Fascinated by ghosts, it can only be said that he is fascinated by ghosts. Changsun Wuji led his soldiers towards the city wall, as if as long as he climbed the city wall, he would be able to become one person under ten thousand people.Xu Qing waved his hands, ready to defend.At this time, Li Jiancheng also knelt in front of Li Yuan, bowed his head and said nothing, while Li Yuan looked at the sky coldly, and the crossbow that threatened Xu Qing in his hand also drooped.

This Xuanwu Gate is guarded by one man and ten thousand men cannot open it. Xu Qing also has 500 people in his hands, and there are only 3000 people outside the gate. It is difficult for even armored dead soldiers to attack the city wall.But no one could have imagined that at this moment, a sudden change occurred!Above Xu Qing's city wall, the three teams suddenly turned around, one team rushed towards Xu Qing, and the other two teams rushed towards Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.

Xu Qing was also terrified. If they succeed in this, King Qin will still have the last laugh.Is it possible that this history really cannot be changed?It's fine if Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are dead, but if the young master is dead, that's not acceptable.

At this moment, Xu Qing also sacrificed his own magic weapon, the fire gun, and the underground river also started to move.Some casually took out a dagger from their sleeves, and they could kill one or two dead men. Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were not jealous, they pulled out a decorative sword from their waists, and fought with the dead men.

Battle father and son soldiers.

After a while, those dead men were gone, a false alarm.The dead soldiers below the city were still attacking the city like ants, and were killed like ants.Li Shimin stood alone outside the Xuanwu Gate, watching all this, feeling disheartened.Slowly, he raised the sword in his hand.

"Cow!"

"You coward!" A silver gun picked up the knife in Li Shimin's hand that was about to commit suicide, and then he slapped his palm and passed out.The one with the silver gun is naturally Li Yuanji who came from Xuanfumen.

He tied up Li Shimin well, led his troops to kill the dead who attacked the city, and captured Changsun Wuji alive.Immediately afterwards, the father and son, together with a fainted Li Shimin, met on the city wall.Xu Qing was very sensible, and took all his people away, leaving them the bloody Xuanwumen city wall.Then, Xu Qing went to clean up the corpse.

In the middle of the night, it finally stopped raining in Chang'an City, and the streets were quiet.No one knew that in the Taiji Palace, something that was enough to shock the government and the public had already happened.But on Suzaku Street, and where the officials lived, countless people were awake.They just need to rely on their intuition to know that tonight must be an unusual night.

Xu Qing worked until early in the morning, first helped Li Yuan wash the ground, and then went to various places to wipe out the rebels left behind. Then, Li Yuan appointed Xu Qing as the general who ransacked the house, and sealed up the homes of the generals who participated in the rebellion this time. All family members were sent to prison together.

Li Yuan didn't choose Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng to do this, just to leave Xu Qing with a way out.

There are two attitudes of a winner. The first one is that I am the winner. For the loser, I will toast you a glass of wine and let you die.This kind of victor is obviously a person who has won a lot, so he will have this attitude.However, there is another one, I won, and I will kill all those who oppose me.This kind is nothing more than a nouveau riche, an elation, and revenge.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are naturally the former type. They only hope that this mutiny can be suppressed as quickly as possible.The external declaration was similar to what Xu Qing said. This time, King Qin was credited with saving his family. Although he used private soldiers, he was kind-hearted and did not pursue his faults, but rewarded him for his merits.Li Shimin was promoted to Taiwei, and the crown prince received the order of ministers as the crown prince, so that he was familiar with government affairs.The princess has made great contributions to saving the driver, and added food to three hundred households.Li Yuanji added one hundred households to Shiyi.

As for Xu Qing, obviously there is no award, he already has the right to raid his home, what more award is needed?
The fattest job ever!

Xu Qing made a big fuss, and the vacant officials in the court were gradually filled by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan's own forces. We just waited for the final result to be announced by the court tomorrow.Li Shimin, except for a good-looking but not usable Taiwei, everything else is gone. Of course, Li Chengqian and others are not directly affected.

If Li Shimin can really live with such peace of mind, prosperity and wealth will not be a problem, and it will not be difficult for his children and grandchildren to enjoy royal treatment.
