Don't be a prince

As for what these thousands of people are doing, there is no need to guess.

Chang He couldn't see any blood on his face. Fortunately, he was cruel enough to seal the blood vessels with a soldering iron. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have the strength to be supported by others at this moment.

Li Yuanchang stopped riding a horse, and sat on a shoulder pad, with a disgusting appearance that when a cat was catching a mouse, he was sure of winning.

As for Hou Junji, he also put down his visor, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

After seeing the different expressions of these people, Li Chengqian focused his attention on Wang Hui.There is no doubt that he is the real leader of this rebellion.

Wang Ying died, but Wang Zhi, the new successor to the head of the Wang family, was also a middle-aged man.Regarding this person, Bai Qisi did not have much information, which shows how superb the ability of the Tibetans of the Wang family is.

Leaning on the edge of the city wall, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "What can I say, Wang Kui, your Wang family is really living and going back. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and you couldn't hold on, but secretly supported some warlords, fueling the situation in the world. It has been more than 20 years since the Tang Dynasty was established, and Wude has been over 20 years. In the past [-] years, there have been frequent reports of good news on the frontier, the people in the interior live and work in peace and prosperity, and a peaceful and prosperous age has come. This is such a world, but you still want to make troubles again?"

Wang Hui smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness is indeed eloquent, but the truth that has never changed in the past is the success of the king and defeat of the enemy. Just like the change of Xuanwu Gate in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin was dissatisfied with the status of King Qin and killed his brother. Killing his brother and imprisoning his father, brotherly love, and filial piety between father and son were all forgotten by him.

However, after he succeeded to the throne, didn't he still slowly let the world forget these things he did?Especially Li Jiancheng, when he was the prince, he was considered competent, and it was no problem to be a good emperor.But what happened?After Li Shimin usurped the throne, he gradually became a faint prince, who appointed some treacherous people.This is the most direct evidence of success and defeat.

So what if my royal family rebelled?At most, he would bear a temporary infamy. After more than ten years, wouldn't he be like the current emperor, wearing hats like 'Heavenly Khan', 'Sage Monarch', and 'Ming Jun' on his head? "

Li Chengqian was really speechless about Wang Hui's words.Because, the fact is really like this, there is no way to refute it.The Xuanwumen Incident initiated by the emperor really set a bad precedent for future generations, so that the subsequent change of imperial power will basically cause bloody storms.Especially during the Wu Zhou period, the blood of the Li family was almost wiped out.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was silent, Li Yuanchang, who was sitting on his shoulder, couldn't sit still, and said to Wang Yu who was standing beside him: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Get rid of him quickly!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and shouted loudly to the people behind him: "Whoever captured and killed the prince, this king, no, I will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold, the title of duke!"

After shouting a sentence, to Li Yuanchang's surprise, everyone was unmoved.

The sculpture-like scene made Li Yuanchang a little suspicious of the flow of time, so he couldn't help reaching out and pinching his face.

It was this action that finally made Li Chengqian unable to hold back, and laughed: "No, Li Yuanchang, you are still dreaming of your spring and autumn dream of being an emperor?"

Li Yuanchang turned his head angrily, and said with a sneer, "You can only laugh now, and when the city is broken, we'll see what you do!"

Ignoring Li Yuanchang who was jumping up and down, Li Chengqian asked Wang Wei: "The reason why you chose Li Yuanchang is because there are undiscovered coal mines in Liangzhou. Moreover, even if the illegal mining of coal mines is discovered, Li Yuanchang, who is keeping a filial piety for the Supreme Emperor, will not be found. on the head."

Wang Hui nodded and said, "That's right, the death of the Supreme Emperor gave us the opportunity to realize this plan. Moreover, things were as expected, whether it was Baiqisi or that doll, they were only traced to Taiyuan. There is no more. In fact, the ore was indeed transported to Taiyuan, but the smelting and forging were carried out in Luzhou. As for the arming, it was even in Xiangzhou. It took so much trouble to completely hide the trace of the ore .Now, [-]% of those ores are finished products, and you have also seen them."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian suddenly became puzzled.As an aristocratic family, it's not surprising that the Wang family has some private arms.But it is a bit difficult to equip 1 people.If [-]% of the ore is used here, and [-]% is used, it seems that it is used in Liaodong.

But... the arming was done in Xiangzhou?Xiangzhou is not on Hedong Road, but on Hebei Road!

Almost in an instant, Li Chengqian already knew what the Wang family's plan was.I hope, I hope that nothing major will happen to the emperor.Thinking about the existence of proficiency, Li Chengqian was even more relieved.

Ignoring Li Yuanchang who was still clamoring, Li Chengqian looked at Hou Junji again, and asked: "The Wang family can't stand the suppression of the court, and wants to take the risk and play a game of winning and losing. But Hou Junji, I really can't figure it out. Why did you rebel? Just because of the Gaochang incident?"

Finally, Hou Junji's voice became tinged with anger: "Isn't that enough? Who am I? Your Majesty's most loyal subordinate, the Xuanwu Sect, participated in the whole process, and even fought on the front line personally." But that's how it is, still under Li Jing, who is on top of the wall, and he will make irresponsible remarks when he crusades against Tuyuhun.

As for me making some money in Gaochang, so what?Yu Chigong, Li Ji, Zhang Jian and others, who hasn't done it?Especially Cheng Yaojin, in front of the emperor, dared to say how much money he was greedy.But why, when you come to me, you will be dismissed from your post and imprisoned, and you will be reprimanded by decree?I am the number one hero of Conglong! "

Even though he was wearing a visor, there was still a trace of saliva dripping from his chin, which showed how intense Hou Junji's words were.

However, what's the use of being fierce?You can't say anything to someone who thinks he's reasonable.

Hou Junji was born in the Hou family of Shanggu. In his early years, he couldn't stand the boring practice of bow and arrow, so he simply didn't practice, and then boasted to others about his extraordinary bravery.In the early years, he fought with Li Shimin in all directions, and made many military exploits.

In the ninth year of Wude, he was indeed one of the people who actively planned and participated in the Xuanwu Gate Change.Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, he worshiped General Zuowei and granted Lu Guogong the title.

General Yiwei, the founding father of the country, such an eminent award, for someone else, he would only think it was worth it in this life.

Anyone can learn Li Jing's art of war?It is no exaggeration to say that the emperor's most taboo is Li Jing's rumors about the art of war.It is to accept Su Dingfang as a registered land, and when teaching, there must be people from Baiqisi watching.But under such circumstances, when Hou Junji wanted to learn the art of war, the emperor still ordered Li Jing to teach them all!

This incident was widely circulated in the military at that time, and everyone felt that the emperor was eccentric.Especially Cheng Yaojin, at the party, he even bluntly said that Hou Junji was just like the emperor's illegitimate child, and he cared for him endlessly.Although Cheng Yaojin was given a good lesson by the emperor because of his outspokenness, his words were recognized by everyone as nothing wrong.

As for the official position, as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan, he worshiped the Minister of the Ministry of War and participated in the government.

The Minister of the Ministry of War is not the point, the point is to participate in the government later!During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this was the authority of the prime minister, but Hou Junji had a minister of the Ministry of War.It is no exaggeration to say that even though Hou Junji is the minister of the Ministry of War, it is no problem to be on an equal footing with Fang Xuanling and others.

East Turkic, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, as long as there is a war, Hou Junji will always be assigned to the army.Even Cheng Yaojin and others have never enjoyed such treatment.Rather than saying that this was the emperor's appointment to go to war, it is better to say that the emperor clearly fed the military merits to his mouth.

That's it, I still haven't been able to feed this white-eyed wolf!

Li Chengqian couldn't imagine the emperor's expression when he learned of Hou Junji's rebellion.Anyone who has a sincere friendship will be deeply moved by the other party who turns a blind eye.

Just when Li Chengqian was about to say a few words for the emperor, Wang Kui made a move.

He just waved his hand, and someone from the Wang family came out, captured Li Yuanchang, and pushed him to the ground.

"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? You... ah!!!!"

Before he finished speaking, a scabbard hit his face, and Li Yuanchang spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth.

Finally, when the dog bites the dog, Li Chengqian suddenly laughed.

I told Li Yuanchang a long time ago, but he feels good about himself, so he really can't listen!

The one who hit the face with the scabbard was Wang Zhui.

Throwing away the scabbard, patted the dust that didn't exist on his hands, and said, "Prince, Li Yuanchang is just used as a meat shield by us. If such an ignorant person keeps cooperating, there is no need to lower him." It has ruined the reputation of my royal family. Later, it will be determined to be Li Yuanchang's rebellion, and I am just waiting to enter the palace to serve the king."

Hearing this sentence, Li Chengqian was immediately confused.Staring at Wang Zhui, waiting for his next words.

"At the beginning, the plan we made was to assassinate the emperor, break through the imperial city and capture you, Your Highness; capture the family members of the conquering generals, so as to force the generals outside to obey. In the end, we supported Jin Wang Li Zhi as emperor. However, we have to change it now You don't know where Jin Wang Li Zhi has been hidden. Since last year's spring plowing ceremony, he has disappeared. Wei Wang's scientific research institute is heavily guarded, and no tens of thousands of troops can't attack it. Now, the orthodox heir is only you, the prince. one already.

Although my royal family has done this kind of thing, it is naturally impossible for me to proclaim myself emperor.Therefore, you can only choose one of the Li family's sons.Right now, His Highness the Crown Prince is a good choice.Although you don't want to admit it, there is no doubt that your highness, the crown prince, has the ability to become a wise king and make Tang Dynasty more prosperous and powerful.Even, it will surpass the current emperor.

If Your Highness, you open the gate of the city and surrender now, my royal family can not pursue everything His Highness has done in the past, and even guarantee that you can stay in the position of emperor until the end of your life.How is it, what does His Royal Highness think? "

Li Chengqian on the city wall suddenly smiled.

"Support Gu to be the emperor? Let Gu guess, the first thing you do is to kill the queen, Li Tai, and Gu's four children. Then force Gu to abolish the crown princess Su and marry the daughter of your royal family , gave birth to a child as an heir. Even, this heir might not be alone.

In addition, is it necessary to be accompanied by members of your Wang family when you go to the toilet alone? "

Facing Li Chengqian's questioning, Wang Kang opened his eyes and said with a sneer, "His Royal Highness thinks more thoroughly than the old man. Since you have said so, then do it. Prince, Jin Wuwei rebelled, How many manpower do you have left to guard the city? It’s better not to cause unnecessary killings. How about this? The old man pledged his own life to keep your eldest son safe and sound. .”

Take your dying life as a guarantee?

Li Chengqian laughed angrily when he thought that his four children were all being targeted by these people.

Laughing wildly, Li Chengqian realized that his laughing voice was really ugly.

but....

After gesturing to Zhang Yun, Li Chengqian stood up straight, put his arms around his arms and said, "To be honest, I have expected a lot of things, but the Jinwu Guard has a problem, and it was the last to wake up. However, it's not too late. Wang You three, Wang Kang, Wang Yaozu, ask yourself, if you were you, would you agree to such a condition, to be an emperor who is not as good as a puppet? If it were someone else treating your wife and children like this, would you be able to swallow your anger?"

"so....."

"Gu's answer is..."

Reaching out to take the shield from Feiying, Li Chengqian pressed it against the top of the wall without hesitation: "Defend all!"

Following Li Chengqian's order, shields were immediately erected on the wall of Chengtian Gate.

It has been more than ten seconds since Zhang Yun ignited, and in three seconds, it will be...

boom!

boom!boom!

boom!boom!boom! ....

All the gunpowder bombs that Li Chengqian secretly buried in front of Chengtian Gate earlier were ignited.In order to keep it secret, he didn't even let the Jinwu Guards participate in it. Even the eldest grandson didn't know that these demons had already been planted in front of Chengtianmen.

The stone slabs on Chengtianmen Street became the best assists. The broken stones were several times more lethal than the shrapnel.

Hou Junji, who was the first to notice something was wrong, reacted the fastest. He drove his horse close to the city gate, jumped off the horse, kicked the horse to the ground, and then hid behind the horse.

Li Yuanchang was also very lucky. He was near a sedan chair. At a critical moment, he exploded with great strength, pulled the sedan chair close to the city wall, and hid behind the sedan chair.

In contrast, the three heads of the Wang family were not so lucky.Wang Zhui was the most unlucky, there was a gunpowder bomb under his feet, and after a loud roar, he was blown to pieces.Wang Kang, who was over 90 years old, fell to the ground as early as two explosions and two piles of minced meat.He was scared to death!

Wang Yaozu didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, he just had one leg broken in the blast, and ignoring the rubble around him, he hugged half of his leg and screamed.

Hou Junji's arrangements were in place, 2 people did not completely gather in front of Chengtianmen.But when Li Chengqian planted the bomb, he only placed it in other provinces.As for the ground on the side streets in front of the East Palace Gate and the Yeting Palace Gate, that would be a waste.

This bombing only killed and injured more than 4000 people.

After the explosion paused, Hou Junji got out from behind the battered horse, and habitually looked at Suzaku Gate.

As a result, the Suzaku Gate, which was still wide open, was now placed in the gap between the horses and the horses. In the gap between the horses, all kinds of people with weapons began to enter, and they did not rush directly, but quickly dispersed. , guarding each city gate.

Catch the turtle in the urn!

run!

The heart is telling the legs to run, but the legs just don't listen.

Hou Junji knew that today, he was completely screwed!The prince was willing to argue with them, but it was just to delay time.

Thinking about his wife and children, Hou Junji's legs finally overcame his fear and started to move.

"Get out!!"

Hou Junji's shouts brought back the souls of the Wang family members who were out of the sky. They knew that they were doomed, but they could only howl and head towards the Suzaku gate.

The Vermilion Bird Gate was sealed, but the Chengtian Gate was slowly opened.

What surprised Hou Junji was that not only soldiers from the Xuanjia Army came out of Chengtian Gate, but also court ladies and eunuchs holding swords.

Fang Shan, who was running at the front, pointed his sword at the sky, and let out a cry that never passed before: "The time to be loyal to His Highness has come! Kill!"

Watching this crazy scene, Li Chengqian also felt hot all over.Picking up a rope from the city wall and throwing it to Feiying, Li Chengqian pointed to Hou Junji who had run away and said, "I want to live!"

Chapter 500 The Sixth Knife

Feiying agreed, grabbed the rope and jumped off the wall.After falling to the ground, he rolled for a circle, lost his strength, picked up a horizontal knife on the ground, and chased him away.

The section from Chengtianmen to Zhuquemen is where the yamen of the three provinces and six ministries are located, Honglu Temple and Taichang Temple are also located here.The terrain is complex, but in the face of absolute superiority in numbers, these people who attacked the palace had no choice but to die.

Pulling out the horizontal knife, Li Chengqian also went down the city wall.Walking out of Chengtianmen, the first thing I saw was Li Yuanchang who was hiding behind the sedan chair, trembling.

A person's strength still depends on what he is dealing with.Li Yuanchang, who did not beg for mercy after suffering a whole set of broken muscles and bones, now just experienced an explosion and peed his pants.

Seeing Li Chengqian while trembling, he knelt down on the ground without thinking, and begged: "Prince, I was also killed by them, I am innocent!"

The most annoying thing is this kind of idiot who knows the crime and still asks for forgiveness.He waved his hand to let the two hidden guards tie him up, put him in the prison, and continued walking forward.

Wang Zhui had been mixed with his clansmen, and he couldn't tell them apart. Wang Kang in the pool of blood, the boss with staring eyes, seemed to have a trace of despair and helplessness besides fear.

Wang Yaozu was still screaming, but following Li Chengqian's swing of the horizontal knife, he was also relieved from the severe pain.

In front of Chengtianmen, it really became a scene of purgatory.However, Li Chengqian did not regret it.If Li Tang became what he was in the later period, and they did so, maybe he would still respect them.But now it is only for family and status, for power and money, to rebel, and death is not a pity.

A large number of people does not mean an absolute advantage. There are still weak court ladies and eunuchs who fall in a pool of blood.

Fang Shan didn't exaggerate. None of these lowly people belonged to the alliance, and no one backed away. Even if they hadn't even killed a chicken, they could still swing their weapons at someone.

After casually wiping the bloody horizontal knife on Wang Yaozu's body, Li Chengqian put down his visor and started running.

There is no need to say anything more, a quick decision is the best way to reduce losses.

Stretching out his hand to push away a court lady whose life was hanging by a thread, Li Chengqian slashed away the horizontal knife in Chang He's hand with one blow, and then knocked him unconscious with the back of the knife.This guy with all kinds of knives has no idea that if the Wang family succeeds in seizing power, he will be the first to die.

Betrayal once was not enough?Once again, everyone knows you can't be trusted.

During these years in Gaochang, Yu Tai had never cleaned the horizontal knife in his hand, and now he is extremely fierce when he slashes and kills.As for Zhang Yun, because he was using a dagger, the knife was extremely insidious, and the knife rushed towards the gap in the armor of the Jinwu Guard rebels.Of course, more people rolled on the ground with their eyes covered, or knelt down on the ground with their throats covered.

After covering a distance of more than ten meters, I finally saw Feiying and Hou Junji.

Hou Junji, who was in heavy armor, originally had the advantage, but in front of Feiying, he really couldn't get any advantage.The so-called martial arts is the combination of experience and physical ability, and Feiying, who has been carefully cultivated by Geng Buqu since he was a child, and has never gone through detours, can naturally climb to the peak of martial arts easily.

The horizontal knives of the two of them were disconnected long ago, and they were thrown aside.

Hitting the armor with fists must be uncomfortable, but Feiying still punched Hou Junji's body one after another, unaware of the pain from his fists.

These years of life as a civil servant, coupled with the fact that Hou Junji's military strength was no longer what it used to be, and he soon fell into a disadvantage.

Facing Feiying's stormy attack, within two or three minutes, he showed a huge opening, and was thrown to the ground by Feiying.

Without communicating with words, Yu Tai found a rope from somewhere and threw it to Feiying.Soon, Hou Junji, who was still invincible just now, was tied up into rice dumplings.

Walking in front of Hou Junji, Li Chengqian squatted down and said with a smile: "Old Hou, don't worry, you won't deal with you directly. It's better for the old man to take care of you when your father returns to court. Also, Don't even think about suicide, it's not Gu scaring you, if you have the idea of ​​suicide, Gu will tie your Hou family in front of you, I will kill one person once you try, starting with your virtuous wife!"

Hearing these words, Hou Junji, who already felt ashamed to face his wife and children, could only give up his will to die.

He still concealed the rebellion from his wife.And when he was tossing and turning and having difficulty falling asleep, Mrs. Hou once asked him if he had done something wrong to Sheji and the emperor, and if he had done something wrong, he should confess his guilt as soon as possible.

After all, she was the wife who accompanied me when I was poor and humble, and has been going all the way to the present!

Closing his eyes in pain, Hou Junji knew that his life might be more tormented than his death.

Just when Li Chengqian dispelled Hou Junji's will to die, two generals came all the way to kill him, and knelt down on one knee covered in blood in front of Li Chengqian. They were Fang Yiai and Du He.

As the second sons, they were not qualified to inherit the title of their father. Although they became Captain Consorts, they had practiced martial arts diligently before that.After all, never knowing when it will come in handy.Now, the opportunity to use martial arts has come!
