Li Chengqian's expression was extremely indifferent.
It was as if Li Shimin's murderous face was not seen at all.
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Father, are you here?"
He responded with a whip from Li Shimin.
Snapped!
The first whip fell on Li Chengqian.
It knocked him back two steps.
Snapped!
The second whip fell on Li Chengqian's face.
A bloody mark was left on Li Chengqian's face.
However.
Li Chengqian didn't react at all.
Not even the smile on his face diminished by half.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy.
"You rebellious and unfilial thing."
Li Shimin roared angrily: "What are you trying to do? Are you going to rebel against me?"
"Someone is coming!"
"Tie him up and take him back to the palace!"
Li Chengqian did not resist.
Let the soldiers tie him up and take him away.
Wait until Li Chengqian leaves.
Li Shimin got off his horse and walked into Duke Qiaoxiang's mansion.
This time.
The fighting in the mansion has subsided.
The soldiers of Qianzi camp were arranged in various places in the courtyard.
At their feet lay strewn corpses with their heads cut off.
When Li Shimin saw this, his eyes were about to burst.
He looked around and asked, "What do you all want to do? Like that rebellious and unfilial thing, you all want to rebel against me?"
"lay down your weapon."
Luo Ding'an spoke slowly: "Everyone kneel down!"
After saying that, he was the first to kneel in front of Li Shimin.
After hearing the order, the soldiers of Qianziying put down their weapons and lay on the ground.
Li Shimin glanced at everyone present coldly, and finally smiled.
"Don't let these people be left behind either."
"Push them all to the prison!"
this moment.
There was a trace of despair in Li Shimin's voice.
Next.
noodle Against the Shenwu Army.
No one from the Qianzi Camp soldiers stood up to resist.
They allowed the soldiers of the Shenwu Army to tie them up.
This time.
A total of 860 people were dispatched from Qianzi Battalion.
Without exception, these people were all escorted to the imperial prison and imprisoned.
Li Chengqian was brought back to Tai Chi Hall.
now.
The atmosphere in Tai Chi Hall was depressing.
All civil and military officials said nothing and did not even dare to raise their heads.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression on his face, staring at Li Chengqian who was kneeling in the hall.
"Li Chengqian."
"I make you the prince."
"Invite a famous teacher to guide you."
"I taught you how to read and write, as well as the art of war."
"I will form a lineage of the East Palace for you and form a direct line of personal guards."
Li Shimin asked with a gloomy face: "How did you come to use it like this? How did you come to rebel against me?"
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying a word.
"You disobedient and unfilial thing, speak!"
Li Shimin threw the gold pen holder on the table at Li Chengqian.
Snapped!
The pen holder hit Li Chengqian's forehead.
Even though Li Chengqian's physical fitness was astonishing, he couldn't help but staggered and almost fainted at this moment.
But he still held on and knelt down again.
Blood fell from his forehead and covered his face.
Li Chengqian seemed to feel no pain at all, his expression remained calm.
"Reporting to my father, I have nothing to say about this."
Li Chengqian said: "My son made a big mistake this time. My father wants to kill me and cut him into pieces. I will never complain at all."
"you!"
Li Shimin was so angry that his hair and beard were standing on end.
I thought he would beg for mercy and tell himself why he did what he did.
But in the end, this guy only said
Not a single word of complaint.
He really thought that he had no temper and that he didn't dare to kill him, right?
Li Shimin took a long breath and sat back on the throne.
"Preach my will."
"Li Chengqian is the eldest son, so he should have inherited the imperial business and guarded the ancestral line."
"But he forgot his duty, committed all kinds of evil deeds, and slaughtered thousands of ministers' families."
"The crime cannot be forgiven, but because of the bloody battlefields of the Tang Dynasty, he will be spared the death penalty."
Li Shimin said word by word: "In public, I will reprimand the imperial guards for a hundred times."
The voice fell.
Li Chengqian kowtowed to Li Shimin and said, "Thank you, father." .??.
"No need to worry, thank you."
"I, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with cold eyes and said: "Now, feeling the omen from heaven, I order him to depose him as a commoner!"
The word "common people" means "common people".
Li Shimin almost roared.
It can be seen how angry he was about this.
And as soon as he said these words.
All the ministers present looked surprised.
Li Shimin's decree can be seen from the literal meaning, which is to depose Li Chengqian.
"Your Majesty, this is not possible."
Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up.
He faced Li Shimin and raised his hands and said: "The position of crown prince is the foundation of a country. If you abolish it at will, it will shake the foundation. Please take back your order!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Ji also stood up.
He knelt on his knees and said to Li Shimin: "The prince's nature is known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties."
"He is not a murderous person. There must be something hidden in this matter. Your Majesty, please look into it."
After the two of them stood up.
In the court, nearly half of the ministers stood up.
At the same time, he begged Li Shimin to take back his life.
But Li Chengqian still didn't react at all.
There was even a hint of relief on his face.
I can finally take off this burden.< br>
From the beginning, Li Chengqian had no intention of becoming a prince.
Because he was afraid that he would go down the same old path.
But by some strange combination of circumstances, he still found himself in this position.
And finally.
It seems he still hasn't escaped.
Being deposed and demoted, these two combos still fell on his head.
Li Chengqian bit his lower lip lightly, and then said in a voice that could be heard louder than the civil and military officials of the court: "I accept the decree, thank you!"
Li Shimin took a deep look at Li Chengqian.
Then, he turned away and waved his hand: "Take him to Caishikou and execute him in public!"
"His Majesty!"
"There is another hidden story behind this matter."
"Please also ask Your Majesty not to anger the Crown Prince."
At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall.
I saw a ragged guy hurriedly running in from outside the hall.
It took a long time for everyone to recognize that these two people were Wei Zheng and Gao Zhixing.
At this moment, the two of them looked really embarrassed.
Gao Zhixing was covered in blood.
Wei Zheng is like a beggar, with a gray head and a disgraced face.
Seeing the two of them, Li Chengqian couldn't help but frown: "Didn't I tell you to stay at home?"
"Stay?"
"Can we stay there?"
Gao Zhixing said angrily: "You are so powerful on the battlefield, don't you know how to adapt when something like this happens?"
"High enough!"
Li Shimin scolded: "What are you talking nonsense here?"
Gao Zhixing was startled.
Then I remembered that I was in Tai Chi Hall now.
Gao Zhixing shrank his neck and stood aside.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said: "You just said that there is another hidden reason for this matter?"
"Your Majesty!"
"There is indeed something hidden about the prince's affairs."
Wei Zheng faced Li Shimin, knelt down and said: "The prince slaughtered the mansions of various ministers, actually to protect everyone from the rebel assassins!"
