Wentang

Chapter 135 Longyou Shoal (1)

Hearing this news, Li Yuan's face changed greatly, and all the prime ministers were also shocked.

Who here is not a person who has come from the turbulent era, how can he not understand what this means.

Qin Wang Li Shimin rebelled.

What these people didn't expect was that Li Shimin really dared to rebel.

You must know that Li Yuan is not a puppet emperor without real power, but a founding emperor who promises everything.Li Shimin's achievements are great, but he is nothing in front of Li Yuan.

Not to mention comparing with Li Yuan, even Li Jiancheng can't compare with him.

Li Jiancheng has been the prince since the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. He has a benevolent temperament and a virtuous corporal. He assists Li Yuan in handling state affairs very well. Most of the ministers in the court are very satisfied with him.

Just take a few prime ministers as an example.

Pei Ji supports him; Pei Ju is his confidant; Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu are loyal and only have the emperor and reason in their hearts. If there is a choice between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, they will definitely choose Li Jiancheng.

Because Li Jiancheng is the eldest son and performed very well, it is a legal principle for him to inherit the Datong.

Li Shimin has only one supporter, Feng Deyi, the former Sima of Tiance Mansion.

Leaving aside the matter of Feng Deyi stepping on two boats, Li Shimin has no chance of winning in the light of the comparison.

But he just did something that no one dared to think about, mutiny.

Li Yuan's quality as a horse god king was also reflected, and he quickly stabilized his mind and said: "Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, you take the imperial edict and military talisman to mobilize the imperial guards, and the others follow me to avoid it."

"Here." Everyone shouted.

Li Yuan quickly drafted an imperial edict and stamped it with a jade seal, and the ministers signed it, and then handed the edict and the tiger charm to the two of them.

The two also knew that the situation was urgent, and they ran out all the way regardless of old age and frailty.

However, they still underestimated the speed of Yu Chigong's progress, and they were blocked by Yuchi Gong as soon as they ran to the entrance of the main hall.

Seeing the murderous Yu Chigong and a group of soldiers covered in blood, the two expressed despair.

"The crown prince and the king of Qi conspired against each other, and I was ordered by the king of Qin to protect the saint. In order to prevent anyone from exchanging news with the rebels, no one is allowed to leave without the king's order. The two ministers have offended." Yu Chigong didn't stop at all, just After leaving such a sentence, he led people into the Daxing Hall.

The Hundred Cavalry automatically sent out several people to escort the two back.The two of them knew that the matter was inviolable, and the resistance was just self-defeating, so they gave up resistance very poorly.

When Yu Chigong came to Daxing Hall with his troops, he happened to block Li Yuan and his party who had just left the house.

Li Yuan's heart trembled when he saw that the tip of the halberd was still dripping with blood, like Yu Chigong, a black-faced murder god.At this moment, he actually felt a trace of fear towards this general.

This emotion made him very ashamed and angry, but he couldn't control it no matter what.He wanted to appear calm and composed, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He swallowed, and asked in a trembling voice, "General Wei... General Yuchi, what happened?"

Yu Chigong jumped off the horse, and when his feet hit the ground, he made a 'dong' sound.This voice was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Li Yuan and all the ministers, making them take a step back involuntarily.

Yu Chigong took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee but stared viciously into his copper bell-like eyes and said, "Saint, the crown prince and King Qi conspired to rebel and lead troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, King Qin led his troops to escort him after hearing the news. "

Li Yuan's mind had already been taken away, and he said dryly, "The crown prince conspired with King Qi?"

Yuchi Gongsheng replied in a thunderous voice: "Exactly."

Only now did Li Yuan come back to his senses, and asked, "Where are the Prince and King Qi? Where is King Qin?" Li Yuan asked.

Yuchi Gong said coldly: "The crown prince and King Qi have been killed, and now His Royal Highness King Qin is guarding the Xuanwu Gate to resist the attack of the rebel army."

Hearing that Li Yuan's face was as white as paper and his body kept shaking, he almost fainted, and the pain of losing his son also made him wake up from Yu Chigong's shock, and said in disbelief: "How dare he kill brothers, how did he do it?" Hand, that is the brother of his mother and compatriots."

The last sentence was said in a tone of gnashing of teeth.

But Yu Chigong ignored his mood at all, and said: "Saint, the rebels are still attacking the city, please issue an edict immediately to order all the troops in Gyeonggi to accept King Qin's order, so as to quell the turmoil."

Li Yuan sneered and said, "Hehe... want me to issue an edict..."

Just as he was halfway through his refusal, Yu Chigong got up from the ground and took a few steps forward to him with a horse in his hand.Coincidentally, the tip of the spear was facing Li Yuan's head.

Looking at the blood-red Ma Qiang and smelling the bloody smell from Yu Chigong's body, Li Yuan's heart trembled.The fear that had just been suppressed resurfaced again, and the second half of the words of rejection could not be uttered.

But if you want him to issue an edict, he is 1 unwilling.

He couldn't help looking at the ministers, wanting to seek help from them.However, to his disappointment, those people either shook their heads at him, or avoided looking at him.

This made him feel even colder.

Yuchi Gong didn't want to waste any more time, so he took another step forward and shouted angrily: "The sage please issue an edict."

"The sage please issue an edict." The hundred knights who came with Yu Chigong also shouted in unison.

"Please ask the sage to issue an edict."

Li Yuan, who was already terrified in his heart, was frightened and staggered back a few steps before forcing a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll issue an edict right away."

Immediately, someone brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from Daxing Hall, and Li Yuan wrote several edicts with trembling hands.

After successfully obtaining the imperial edict, Yu Chigong couldn't help showing joy on his face.However, he was proud but did not forget himself, knowing that the more difficult it was for him to make a single mistake.

"You take ten people and send the edict to the king quickly. If you encounter obstacles on the way, you will be killed without mercy."

"Here." The young general accepted the order awe-inspiringly.

When the sender left, Yu Chigong said again: "Now that the outside world is in turmoil, please return the saint and all the prime ministers to the Daxing Hall to avoid being injured by the rebellious army. The last general and others will swear to protect the saint to the death."

……

At this time Li Shimin was anxiously waiting for news from Yu Chigong, especially when he learned that Xue Wanche was leading troops to attack the palace, he wished he could fly back to protect his wife and children.

But in order to stabilize people's hearts, he can't show this kind of anxiety, on the contrary, he has to show the appearance of winning.That feeling is not to mention how uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, there is an army coming over there." At this time Fang Xuanling said in surprise, "See if the leader is General Jing."

"Where is it?" Li Shimin didn't bother to put on a show, and hurried to the top of the city to look into the distance.Sure enough, I saw an army slowly walking towards this side, and the leader was Jing Junhong.

"Look at General Jing's troops. He only took 1000 people with him when he left, and now there are at least 2000 people. It seems that he successfully intercepted Xue Wanche and surrendered the Changlin Army." Cheng Yaojin put his hands above his eyes Looking into the distance on the tip of his toes, he reported a piece of good news while watching.

"Really? General Jing has made another great contribution. I must reward him well." Li Shimin said happily.

Also at this time, a cavalry squad also rushed to the gate of the city from the direction of Daxing Hall.

Du Ruhui immediately went up to meet him and asked, "How is it?"

The young general said excitedly: "The sage issued an edict, and the guards and horses of all the prefectures in the capital obey the orders of the king!"
