Chapter 1664 Li's father and son finally turned against each other
(Thank you very much to ‘Brother Nian with a Knife’ for your generous support and monthly ticket support and encouragement)
"In the eyes of some people, I am already a heinous beast." Li Shimin listened to his father's vicious abuses and curses, and watched the No. 1 Killer King chasing down the heads of wealthy families. His expression was complicated and gloomy, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
He kept thinking to himself: "I will use a coup to force the palace to revolt tonight! Chai Shao just said that in order to reach the palace on time, he massacred thousands of people in broad daylight, and now he murdered his brother and drove his father crazy. A hundred years later, in the history books,
There must be no more good things to say about me."
"It's just...some things are too coincidental."
"Chai Shao led 10,000 cavalry to the imperial city. Just when thieves appeared on the road, they burned, killed, and looted. They caused trouble and cut off the road ahead, forcing Chai Shao to charge and kill thousands of people."
"There must be the shadow of the Far Eastern Army's Military Intelligence Office behind this incident, and it was probably planned by them."
"Also, the eldest brother has been controlled by Wang Junlin. Although I don't know what means they used to control the eldest brother, it happened that the eldest brother was stupid at this time and risked life and death to protect the heads of these damn powerful families."
"This incident is also too coincidental. It makes me suspect that all my plans have been known to Wang Junlin."
"Also, Chai Shao led 30,000 troops into Chang'an City, leaving 20,000 people outside the imperial city, sealing all the passages in and out of the city gates. It was impossible for anyone to get out of the city, but there were troops outside the city.
I responded quickly..."
"It's just...Wang Junlin, I can't understand that when you knew my plan, you didn't reveal the news to the powerful families who had secretly colluded with you. Instead, you watched me kill them. Next, I want to
Destroy all their families, what are they all for, and what can you gain?"
"Is it just to make me bear the notoriety of killing thousands of people and killing my brother? Although this has a great impact on my reputation, the winner is king these days, and history is ultimately written by the winner."
"No, Wang Junlin may have notified people from various aristocratic families who are generals in the army and officials in the local area."
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face suddenly became a little ugly, because if this was really what he thought, the entire Guanzhong would be in chaos now outside Chang'an City.
What is foreseeable is that next, the troops of the Far East Army took advantage of
When a machine kills him, although he, Li Shimin, has taken over his father's position, he may have to face the outcome of losing the entire Guanzhong.
Li Shimin was anxious, but his appearance quickly returned to normal. No matter what was going on outside Chang'an City or other places in Guanzhong, he had to deal with the affairs inside Chang'an City first, because this was the center. As long as there were no problems with the center, he would
Only then can we use the center as the basis to control the local area at a close distance.
Because at this time, Li Yuan no longer cursed or cursed, and he no longer even looked at the body of his eldest son Li Jiancheng. He seemed to have completely regained his composure, but he ignored Li Shimin and took a deep breath with red eyes.
, shouted slowly: "The Imperial Guards and the King's bodyguards obey orders!"
The two commanders standing at the top of the steps were stunned for a moment, but their loyalty to Li Yuan was deeply rooted in their bones. They immediately knelt down on one knee at the same time and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan lowered his eyelids, covering 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 prince meant. Although they were reluctant and a little bitter in their hearts, they still had expressions of absolute determination. The commander of the soldiers took the lead and shouted fiercely: "For the prince, all the soldiers are willing to die.
Use the last drop of blood!"
The commander of the guards also knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "All guards will die for the prince!"
As the two commanders expressed their opinions and roared, the more than 2,000 Imperial Guard soldiers and guards who were standing on the steps erupted into loud roars at the same time.
"I am willing to die for the prince!"
Li Yuan smiled proudly and said slowly: "Okay! Very good, I am very pleased!"
After saying that, Li Yuan glanced at his son for the last time with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Sir, you killed your brother and your brother again. I no longer have a son like you. If you want to seize power from me... come and grab it yourself."
Bar!"
"Come and grab it yourself!"
…………
After Li Yuan said these words, he actually stopped looking at Li Shimin, not even the rebels on Li Shimin's side who were covered in darkness below. This was a sign of grief that was greater than heartbreak.
After all, whoever it was, one of his sons killed the other two sons, even in front of him, and forced him to give up his position, even at the sword. These things are enough to turn the family relationship between father and son into hatred.
.
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and strode back to the Taiji Hall. More than 20 of the more than 100 civil and military officials hesitated briefly and followed Li Yuan in.
But the irony is that some wealthy family heads such as Dugu Changsu and the Zheng family who had not secretly colluded with the Far East Army stayed. This made it clear that they wanted to change their allegiance to Li Shimin. Of course, this was because they had clearly seen what was in front of them.
Given the situation, knowing that Li Shimin's side would definitely win in the end, it was just to save his life.
However, no one noticed that Li Jing also entered the hall among the civil and military officials behind Li Yuan.
The two commanders of soldiers and guards who were loyal to Li Yuan immediately shouted loudly: "Close the door! Guard the door!"
With a bang, the heavy palace door closed again, and the guard commander personally sealed the door with two iron spears.
…………
Half an hour later, more than two thousand Forbidden Army soldiers and guards outside the palace were all killed in battle, and no one surrendered. Chai Shao's men paid more than a thousand losses for this, and this was because Li Shimin finally let the No. 1 Killer King take action.
, killed the two commanders, otherwise the Forbidden Army soldiers and guards would be able to hold on longer, and more people on Li Shimin's side would die.
Li Shimin ordered with a gloomy face: "Open the door for me."
Chai Shao didn't hesitate. He waved his hand and someone immediately came forward and pulled out the two spears.
There were actually several masters following Li Yuan inside, but there was no sound from behind the door, so it was clear that no one was guarding it.
With a bang, the door was opened from the outside.
Chai Shao opened the door himself, his movements were a little rough, and he seemed a little anxious, because his father Chai Shen had also gone in with Li Yuan earlier.
But now he suddenly found that there was no movement or sound inside, which made Chai Shao feel uneasy for no reason.
The moment the door opened, Chai Shao stepped in with one step. Of course, he was holding a horse in his hand, and he was not without vigilance.
Chai Shao rushed in ahead of Li Shimin because there were several masters around Li Yuan. It would be bad if he made a sneak attack the moment he entered.
However, the moment Chai Shao stepped across the threshold, he was suddenly shaken, and then let out a horrified roar.
