A "crunching" sound sounded, and the heavy front door was slowly opened left and right!
This unexpected incident suddenly caused the Forbidden Army soldiers and green-armored guards in front of the main entrance of the hall to be stunned for a moment.
The soldiers on Li Shimin's side who were trying to charge below also stopped for a moment, raised their heads, and looked at the steps in surprise to see who would come out.
Chai Shao knew that Li Shimin was still inside. Although he knew that if Li Shimin dared to bring someone in, he must have his own support, he was inevitably a little worried, so he directly waved his hand and ordered to suspend the attack.
After the main door of Taiji Hall was opened, a group of heads of wealthy families with frightened and pale faces rushed out.
Then Li Yuan, whose face was extremely gloomy, came out with a group of civil and military officials.
Now that the door has been opened, Li Shimin saw that Chai Shao led an army to block the door outside, so he was not in a hurry to instruct King of Killers No. 1 to kill people. Instead, he waved King Killer No. 1 to come over and protect him.
He squeezed through the crowd.
With the previous performance of Killer King No. 1, once the two of them got close, no matter who they passed, their expressions would change first, and then they would immediately hide away at the speed of a rabbit.
Soon, a passage was opened, and Li Shimin walked out directly with Killer King No. 1.
Some of the Forbidden Army soldiers outside tried to intercept them, but Killer King No. 1 simply killed their way out, and then, with Chai Shao sending people to assist them, they easily returned to their own army camp.
Chai Shao took a careful look at Li Shimin's body and saw that he was unharmed. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and clasped his fists at Li Shimin and said, "Shimin, I'm late."
"Brother-in-law, you came just in time." Li Shimin nodded slightly and returned the gesture with cupped fists, expressing his appreciation for Chai Shao.
Then, Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the heads of aristocratic families who had slightly improved expressions on the steps. He glanced at Li Jiancheng, who looked angry and frightened, and finally fixed his eyes on his father, Li Yuan, and said: "Father,
Hand over these traitors who dare to collude with the Far Eastern Army and let me kill them first! As for other matters, we can wait until they are killed."
Li Yuan had a sullen face and glanced at his son with great resentment, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced over at Chai Shao, who was holding a bloody horse spear.
Finally, it fell on the rows of soldiers under Chai Shao who were holding sharp blades and looking murderous.
"You are so courageous to betray me and follow this treacherous son to force the palace to rebel!" Li Yuan's voice contained overwhelming anger, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Chai Shao, you are the son-in-law personally chosen by me.
My beloved daughter married you, and gave you the command of tens of thousands of troops. Even after you were defeated, he still used you to replenish the strength of your army. I trust you so much, and specifically asked you to lead the army tonight.
I entered Chang'an City and changed the city defense army to prevent accidents, but I didn't expect that you would do such a rebellious thing."
"Father-in-law, one day you will understand that what your son-in-law and Shimin did is the right thing." Chai Shao did not dismount, but bowed deeply to Li Yuan on the horse and said with a complicated and firm expression.
Chai Shao's words made Li Yuan think a little, and his expression became more complicated.
But he was soon overwhelmed by the resentment caused by the betrayal of his son, son-in-law, and ministers.
"And you!" Li Yuan was condescending, with a gloomy face, and his eyes were almost ready to burst into flames. He glanced at the cavalry under Chai Shao's command holding sharp blades with eyes that could not conceal their hatred, and roared: "You are all the food and fodder that I use to feed you."
and soldiers raised by the army, your steel swords should be wielded against my king's enemies. It is this king you are loyal to, and it is this king you should protect! But you are standing here tonight, using the swords in your hands,
You slaughtered your colleague Pao Ze! And you pointed your swords and guns at the king you were loyal to!"
Unfortunately, Li Yuan was not the emperor after all. It only took a few years for him to raise the flag to rebel and form a political power. He was far from giving the soldiers a sense of legitimacy. Therefore, the soldiers under Chai Shao did not feel much shame or hesitation, let alone shake them.
With murderous intent, he just looked at Li Yuan indifferently, without the slightest sign of retreat or thought.
Seeing this, Li Yuan's heart sank to the bottom and became cold, but he did not give up. Instead, he pointed at Chai Shao and shouted: "Chai Shao, I just want to ask you... do you really want to
Do you want to be a traitor if you are an unfaithful and unjust person?"
Chai Shao's face was a little red, but at this moment he held his chest high, gritted his teeth hard, shook his head, stepped forward and said decisively: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law still said the same thing, what my son-in-law and Shimin did today...
…”
Before Chai Shao could finish his words, suddenly, he heard an angry roar coming from the hall behind the crowd on the steps!
"Chai Shao, you rebellious son..."
A civil servant in his fifties rushed out from behind the crowd. If it weren't for the rows of Forbidden Army soldiers and green-armored guards blocking him in the middle, he would have almost jumped down from the steps and killed Chai Shao in one bite.
This is a traitor.
This civil servant was none other than Chai Shao's father, Chai Shen. Just now, Chai Shao was wondering what kind of reaction his father would have when he saw him, but he did not expect that the reaction would be so big.
Chai Shen was really furious at this time. He really didn't expect his son to do such a thing. Not only did he join Li Shimin in killing the heads of the powerful family, he was clearly trying to force a confession to rebel.
His face was filled with fury, his beard and hair were spread out, and his eyes were red. He stared at his son fiercely, roaring and roaring!
"Traitor! Our Chai family is trusted by His Highness the King of Tang. His Highness the King of Tang will marry his daughter to you... What an honor! But there is a traitor like you! You bastard, why don't you kneel down quickly and lead the troops to
His Royal Highness the King of Tang accepts the crime."
Chai Shen was obviously the kind of person who was truly loyal to Li Yuan, and he did not think that what Li Shimin and his son did was right. On the contrary, he also believed that what Chai Shao was doing now had offended all the powerful families to death.
, the result afterwards is really unpredictable.
Therefore, he was so angry that he almost went crazy. He stood on the steps, being held up by several people around him, but he was teetering on the edge. He even suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and shouted wildly: "Such a traitor is not worthy of being my firewood."
Shen’s son! Chai Shao! You bastard, you will no longer belong to my Chai family! I don’t have a son like you either, and I want to sever the father-son relationship with you.”
When everyone saw this, they realized that Chai Shao had done such a great thing, and even his own father couldn't breathe.
Of course, it is also possible
Neng Chai Shen had known about it for a long time, and even discussed it with his son, and the scene before him was acting, because in this way, no matter what happened in the end, the Chai family would not be implicated.
If this is the case, those Chai Shen's acting skills are really amazing, and they can crush all future movie stars!
Chai Shao naturally knew that his father would never know about the great things he and Li Shimin did today, but he secretly compared his father's performance today with his usual personality and habits, and found that what his father did today was very abnormal.
However, Chai Shao soon understood that his father's performance just now, even vomiting a mouthful of blood, was really difficult, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Just imagine the scene in front of you. If his father hadn't performed like this just now, what would Li Yuan, Dugu Changsu and others have used his father to blackmail him? What if they killed his father to vent their anger even if the blackmail failed.
You know, there is no pervert like King of Killers No. 1 around his father who can just fight his way back.
Thinking of this, Chai Shao regretted not telling his father in advance and just found an excuse not to attend the Hongmen Banquet today.
As he was thinking wildly in his mind, Chai Shao stood up and said loudly with a righteous look on his face: "Father! You can deny me as your son, but boy, I firmly believe that what I did is not wrong. We are going to be like Wang Junlin."
Monsters are fighting for the world, and our army is going to fight with powerful armies such as the Far Eastern Army. If the power in the DPRK and the Central Government is controlled by these traitors who are trying to do something different and may betray the enemy at any time, how can we succeed in the end."
"So, what the children did today with the people was on Qingjun's side. Only by killing them can we compete with the Far Eastern Army for the world without any worries."
At the end of Chai Shao's words, he held his head high and showed no shame. He looked directly at his father, then at other civil and military officials, and shouted loudly: "What I did today is for the thousand-year-old foundation of the Chai family! Father!"
, you called me a rebel today! But when I follow the people and win the world, I will be a hero, the pillar of my Chai family, and make my Chai family rich and prosperous for thousands of years."
"You bastard! You traitor, what are you talking about! Only by following His Highness the King of Tang can we conquer the world." There was an inexplicable light shining deep in Chai Shen's eyes, but he was still roaring in his mouth.
Chai Shao no longer paid attention to his father, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Li Shimin then took a few steps forward, looked at Li Yuan, and gritted his teeth and said: "Father, you are still protecting these people from aristocratic families. What are you afraid of? Even tonight, you are prepared to force them to make a choice.
, but still don’t plan to go on a killing spree, this is because you always believe that to conquer the world, you cannot do without the support of these powerful families."
"Before, I thought this too, but look at the Far Eastern Army. There was no support from aristocratic families behind them. Look at the perished Sui Dynasty. Why did they perish? Is it really all because of Yang Guang?
Foolish King, this may not be due to the actions of these powerful families."
"They are like moths. Even if we rely on them to conquer the world, they will be killed sooner or later in the future. I originally wanted to wait until I conquer the world before killing them, but it will definitely not be easy to kill them when they arrive. Second,
