Chapter 106

When Xue Wanche and Feng Li arrived at Xuanwu Gate with two thousand elites, Zhang Gongjin just closed the city gate.In this way, Xue Wanche and others could only surround Xuanwu Gate.

Seeing these people surrounded for a long time without retreating, Li Shimin became anxious, so he immediately threw the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji down the city gate, intending to distract the army so that these people would retreat without a fight.

But Li Shimin made a wrong calculation.All along, he had underestimated Li Jiancheng's charisma, but at this moment, he naturally suffered a small loss.When the thousands of people below the city gate saw the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, instead of losing their morale, they shouted that they wanted to avenge Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Just now they just besieged but did not attack, now these people desperately started to attack the city gate.For a while, even though Li Shimin had the advantage of the city gate, he still suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the Xuanwu Gate could not be attacked for a long time at this time, Xue Wanche and Feng Li clamored to attack Qin Palace after beheading General Yunhui Jing Junhong.This time, Li Shimin was driven into a hurry.Although Duan Zhixuan led almost all of the Qin Palace's personal guards to guard the Qin Palace, but looking at it now, it is obvious that those people can't resist it at all.

Li Shimin couldn't help but open the city gate and go shopping with people like Xue Wanche.

At this time, Yu Chigong arrived with Li Yuan's imperial edict.Now it's easy to handle, Li Shimin has some confidence in organizing the Qianniu Guards in the palace, and immediately opens the Xuanwu Gate, ready to fight Xue Wanche.

The city gate was also opened, and Xue Wanche also stayed behind.Originally, Xue Wanche saw that although Li Shimin had many generals, but not enough troops, he wanted to take this opportunity to avenge Li Jiancheng, but who knew that Li Shimin would gather Qianniuwei over at this time.No, the short-handed handover started a deadly battle.

But in less than half a moment, the situation changed a lot.

At this time, Gao Shilian finally dealt with the death row prisoners in the prison in Chang'an City.It happened to rush over at this moment. Although the people pulled up had not received formal military training, and there was no formation at all at the moment, but from a distance, it was dark and dense, and there were definitely a lot of people.

At this time, Xue Wanche and Feng Li saw that the situation was over, so they could only decide to run away.

He said to the soldiers who were still fighting hard: "I will be able to repay His Royal Highness a little by killing Jing Junhong. Everyone, let's leave." Flee in the direction of Nanshan.Li Shimin sent out a team, but they couldn't catch up, so he had to give up.

Seeing that the main general had already broken out, the remaining soldiers were also demoralized and unable to resist, so they could only surrender.Seeing that there was no longer any resistance on the field, Li Shimin ordered these soldiers to be taken into custody.

With the imperial decree in hand, it is very convenient for Li Shimin to mobilize troops.It is not suitable for all the soldiers and horses in the capital to be dispatched at this time. The more it is at this time, the more we must appease these people.Therefore, Li Shimin ordered that no one should mobilize troops without permission unless he got his order.

Rest assured, Li Shimin will deal with the affairs of the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion.

The manpower under his hand was enough to deal with it, and all the soldiers just waited for Li Shimin's order, and they were about to start taking action.

This order is definitely not easy to do, because it involves the wives and children of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.Gritting his teeth, Li Shimin didn't show any mercy at this time. Just now when Xue Wanche and others shouted to attack Prince Qin's mansion, he had already understood that it would be better to cut the weeds and root them out.

Immediately ordered: "Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots."

Those generals don't care whether Li Shimin's decision is good or not. Anyway, they have killed people all these years, so they don't care about these benevolence and morality. As long as it is Li Shimin's order, just obey it.Kill a lot of people soon, even if these are the lords that Li Yuan personally conferred, if you didn't kill the prince just now, it's nothing to kill a few lords at this time.

But at this time, Luo Yan didn't care how murderous Li Shimin was, and regardless of the surprised eyes of others, he stood up and said: "If your highness wants to be a tyrant, I will not stop you, but in the future, the world will lose morality, and the people will be full of resentment and rebellion." Don't blame the officials for not predicting anything."

Originally, these civil servants and military generals thought that Luo Yan had come out to discuss with Li Shimin the opportunity to ransack his family and exterminate his family, but now he actually disregarded Li Shimin's mood and forcibly prevented him from killing all of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's children.

These people thought to themselves: This guy is really stupid and bold. Compared with this guy, Yu Chigong is simply a dish.Think about it, right now Li Shimin is in a fit of anger, Luo Yan jumped out like this, and he didn't make his position in Li Shimin's heart plummet.

Luo Yan didn't care what these people thought, and continued: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. If we are out of righteousness, there is nothing wrong with it, but now if the name is not right, the words are not going well. Although the general trend is set, but The prince’s subordinates can be found everywhere in the world, even those like Xue Wanche just now, seeing the death of the prince, still want to attack the Xuanwu Sect by force, this kind of loyalty is unique to Xue Wanche. If Your Highness wants to cut grass and roots, I’m afraid it will really lead to wars.”

"Power, then you know the weight; measure, then the short and long. If your highness is like grass, using your will to do things, how can you be a gentleman?"

After speaking, Luo Yan just stared at Li Shimin.

At this moment, although Li Shimin felt angry for a while, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart and began to think carefully about Luo Yan's words.Li Shimin knew who Luo Yan was. Except for the time when he was wooed by Li Jiancheng, he had nothing to do with Li Jiancheng at all.And at that time Luo Yan not only refused, but also told himself.Later, listening to the secret report from the eyeliner next to the prince, Luo Yan also said, "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the toughness knows the loyal minister".So Luo Yan was definitely not pleading for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family members because of personal feelings.

Since Luo Yan has no personal affair, Li Shimin can only think about what Luo Yan said.

With this thought in mind, Li Shimin was also startled into a cold sweat by his killing intent.Although it is said that cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots will not leave any future troubles, one of the problems we are facing now is that the rest of Li Jiancheng's troops are not soft-hearted.If he really arouses the viciousness of those people, even if he sits on the throne, the country will be shaken up.

Moreover, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji's mansion, didn't know that there were many skilled generals and a large number of soldiers in the East Palace. If he chose to attack by force, he would definitely suffer a lot of losses.

After calming down, looking at the many people who were still waiting for his order, Li Shimin made a decision: "Surround the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion, no one can enter or leave, and wait for my order. Remember, before that, treat the two people with kindness." Everyone in the office. Especially you, Jingde, for this matter, you should not follow, Mr. Fang and Du will lead each of you. Other civil servants, follow me to the inner palace."

Li Shimin asked Li Yuan to hand over the power. Just now Yuchi Jingde just came to command the right to command the capital's soldiers and horses.However, this is far from enough. As I said before, if the name is not right, as long as Li Yuan does not hand over all the rights to himself, Li Shimin will not feel at ease for a day.

Walking into the inner palace, at this time Li Yuan had already returned to the bedroom from Haichi.The fact that several of his sons killed each other was a blow to Li Yuan too much.Even if there were old ministers like Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda around him who were constantly comforting him, Li Yuan just kept his spirits up and couldn't speak at all.

Seeing Li Shimin come in at this moment, Li Yuan was also trembling all over, with tears running down his face.

As a qualified actor, Li Shimin also started to cry with Li Yuan at this time.After waiting for a while, the others began to persuade him to stop crying and look at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan is not a fool, although he was really confused about his son's affairs, which caused today's tragedy, but as an emperor who can build a stable Tang Dynasty from the troubled times, his IQ is definitely not low.Li Shimin came in at this time, and he was accompanied by many aides and generals from Prince Qin's residence. Li Yuan naturally knew what Li Shimin wanted to do.

Putting away his tears, he asked, "Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family members, what are you going to do with them?" Now that things have happened, Li Yuan doesn't want Li Shimin to be merciful, he just wants to keep a trace of blood for the two of them.

Hearing Luo Yan's remonstrance, and after calming down and thinking a lot along the way, Li Shimin pretended to be very magnanimous at this time, and said: "The chief culprit has been executed. For the others, build a new one next to the inner palace. Palace, let them spend the rest of their lives there."

Seeing that Li Shimin did not use extreme measures to deal with the two family members, Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin in surprise.Seeing Li Shimin's affirmative face, he was relieved.

Since the blood of the two sons has continued, the next thing is naturally easy to discuss. After a long sigh, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin: "From tomorrow onwards, you will supervise the country as the prince. The edict will be published tomorrow morning. When the time comes, it will be issued. Remember your promise."

At this moment, Li Yuan didn't think about anything other than worrying that Li Shimin would go back on his word.Anyway, even if I disagree, my son will forcibly seize power from this posture.Rather than putting his own life in danger, he might as well just follow Li Shimin's overtures and decide this matter just like that.

Li Shimin immediately reassured: "The matter between the crown prince and King Qi has nothing to do with his wives and children. Naturally, I will not do such an inhumane thing."

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then called Pei Ji over, and said, "Go to the East Palace and let those subordinates who have been built surrender. Excessive resistance is also to cause unprovoked killings. Now, it is meaningless." Pei Ji Nod yes.

Only then did Li Yuan wave his hand, signaling that he was tired and let everyone go out.
