(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support and encouragement of 'Brother Nian with a Knife')
"In the eyes of some people, I am already a heinous beast." Li Shimin listened to his father's vicious abuse and curses, and watched the king of No. He even couldn't help thinking to himself: "I will use a coup to force the palace to revolt! Gang Chai Shao said that in order to arrive at the palace on time, he had to slaughter thousands of people in broad daylight, and now he murdered his brother and drove his father crazy. A hundred years later , there must be no more good things to say about me in the history books."
"It's just...something is too coincidental."
"Chai Shao led 10,000 cavalrymen to the imperial city, but there were thieves who burned, killed and looted on the road ahead, causing chaos and cutting off the road ahead, forcing Chai Shao to charge and kill thousands of people."
"There must be the shadow of the Far East Army's military intelligence office behind this incident, and they are probably planning it."
"The elder brother has always been controlled by Wang Junlin. Although they don't know what means they used to control the elder brother, but it is such a coincidence that the elder brother is stupid at this time, and he will protect the heads of these damned aristocratic families regardless of life or death. "
"This incident is also too coincidental. It coincidentally makes me suspect that all my plans have been known by Wang Junlin."
"Also, Chai Shao led 30,000 people into Chang'an City, leaving 20,000 people outside the imperial city, and sealed all the passages in and out of the city gate. The army reacted so quickly..."
"It's just... Wang Junlin, I don't understand. You knew my plan, but you didn't disclose the news to the powerful family who had already colluded with you secretly. Instead, you watched me kill them. Next I want to destroy all of their sects, what are they all for, and what can you get?"
"Could it be that it is to let me bear the notoriety of killing thousands of people and killing my brother? This is certainly a big blow to my reputation, but the winner is king these days, and history is written by the winner after all."
"No, Wang Junlin may have notified the generals in the army and officials in the local government from various powerful families."
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face suddenly became a little ugly, because if he really thought so, the whole Guanzhong outside Chang'an City is now in chaos.
It is foreseeable that, next, the troops of the Far East Army will take advantage of
Attempt to kill, although Li Shimin has taken over his father's position, he is afraid that he will face the ending of losing the entire Guanzhong immediately.
Li Shimin was very anxious, but his face soon returned to normal. No matter what happened outside Chang'an City or other places in Guanzhong, he must first deal with the affairs in Chang'an City, because this is the center, as long as the center is not Problem, he can use the center as the basis, close and control the place.
Because at this time, Li Yuan no longer cursed or cursed, or even looked at the body of his eldest son Li Jiancheng. He seemed to have completely recovered his composure, but he ignored Li Shimin and took a deep breath. With red eyes, he slowly shouted: "The guards of the imperial army and the king's guards listen to the order!"
The two commanders standing on the top of the steps were stunned for a moment, but their loyalty to Li Yuan was deeply rooted in their bones, and they immediately knelt down on one knee at the same time and shouted loudly: "My lord!"
Li Yuan lowered his eyelids, covered most of his red eyes, and said calmly: "Is it possible that the king's personal soldiers and guards will fight?"
The two commanders immediately understood what their lord meant. Although they were unwilling to do so in their hearts and felt a little bit bitter, the two of them still had expressions on their faces. Soldiers are willing to shed their last drop of blood!"
The commander of the guards also knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "All the guards will die for the prince!"
As the two commanders took the lead and roared, the remaining two thousand soldiers and guards of the Imperial Guard who were standing on the steps burst into loud roars at the same time.
"Willing to die for the prince!"
Li Yuan smiled proudly, and said slowly: "Okay! Very good, I am very pleased!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yuan took one last look at his son with icy eyes, and said coldly: "Nizi, you killed brother and brother again, I no longer have your son, you want to seize power from me... then Come grab it yourself!"
"Come and grab it yourself!"
………
After Li Yuan said these words, he didn't even look at Li Shimin anymore, and even the rebels on Li Shimin's side who were in the dark below didn't even look at him anymore.
After all, who would it be? One of his sons killed the other two sons, even in front of his face, and even forced him to give way, at the expense of fighting with each other. These things are enough to turn the relationship between father and son into enmity
.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and strode back into the Tai Chi Hall. Out of the more than 100 civil and military officials, more than 20 of them hesitated for a while and followed Li Yuan into the hall. .
However, the irony is that Dugu Changsu and the Patriarch of the Zheng family, who did not secretly collude with the Far East Army, stayed behind. This is clearly to change their allegiance to Li Shimin. After understanding the situation in front of him, he knew that Li Shimin's side must win in the end, just to save his life.
It's just that no one noticed that Li Jing also entered the hall among the civil and military officials behind Li Yuan.
The two soldiers and guards who were loyal to Li Yuan immediately shouted loudly: "Close the door! Keep the door!"
With a bang, the heavy palace door was closed again, and the commander of the guards personally sealed the door with two iron spears.
………
After half an hour, more than 2,000 imperial guards and guards outside the hall were all killed in battle, and none of them surrendered. And Chai Shao's men and horses paid more than a thousand losses for this. This is because Li Shimin finally let the No. 1 killer king take action and killed the two commanders. Otherwise, the imperial guards and guards would be able to hold on longer. , the people on Li Shimin's side will die more.
Li Shimin ordered with a gloomy face: "Open the door for me."
Chai Shao didn't hesitate, as soon as he waved his hand, someone stepped forward and pulled out the two spears.
In fact, there were several masters following Li Yuan, but there was no sound from behind the door, obviously no one was guarding it.
With a bang, the door was pulled open from the outside.
The door was pushed open by Chai Shao himself, his action was a little rough, and he seemed a little anxious, because his father Chai Shen was the one who followed Li Yuan in earlier.
But now he suddenly found that there was no movement or sound inside, which inexplicably made Chai Shao feel uneasy.
The moment the door opened, Chai Shao stepped in, of course with a horse in his hand, and he was not without vigilance.
Chai Shao rushed in ahead of Li Shimin because Li Yuan still had a few masters around him, so it would be bad if he sneaked in at the moment of entering.
However, the moment Chai Shao stepped across the threshold, his whole body was shaken suddenly, and then he let out a terrified roar.
