Chapter 364 Xue Wanche who gave away the head

The lights in the Ganlu Hall were brightly lit, and Li Shimin had already come out of the bedroom and was half lying on the Arhat bed in the main hall.

Gao Shilian sat on the brocade pier in front of the bed, Li Chengqian stood on the other side with a crutch. The two reported to Li Shimin in detail the rebellion of King Jing Li Yuanjing and the Chang'an gentry, and some of the arrangements made by Li Chengqian.

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a bad look, and Li Chengqian took it calmly.

Gao Shilian wanted to go out but was afraid that Li Chengqian would be angry with Li Shimin anymore, so he politely advised: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very appropriate this time. Even without Dou Fengjie's exposure, King Jing would not be able to enter the Xuanwu Gate."

Li Shimin snorted coldly when he heard this, "Chengqian himself didn't go to Xuanwu Gate, and King Jing actually wanted to come in from Xuanwu. He really made a mistake in the plan."

Gao Shilian stopped talking when he heard this.

At this moment, the old ghost quickly walked into the hall, saluted Li Shimin, and walked directly to Li Chengqian and whispered: "Your Highness the Prince..."

Li Shimin interrupted him angrily at first sight, "Report loudly, let me listen too!"

The old ghost was so scared that he shivered without looking at Li Chengqian and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness Jing, and others went to Xuanwu Gate."

Li Shimin's eyes became even worse when he heard this.

Li Chengqian heard this and said to Gao Shilian: "The ministers in front of Duke Shen Chengtian Gate may not be Jing Ni's gangsters. Please persuade them again and tell them that His Majesty is healthy and let them go back!"

When Gao Shilian heard this, he looked up at Li Shimin without any reaction, so he stood up and saluted Li Shimin and said, "The old minister went to Chengtianmen to persuade him. Should Your Majesty go back to the back hall to rest first?"

In this situation, he really dared not let Li Shimin and Li Chengqian get along alone.

Li Shimin waved his hand lazily when he heard this, saying, "I know to pay attention to my health. Go and pass on my will. If they don't leave me, I will never let it go."

"Abide by the order!"

Gao Shilian bowed another time and left. When he walked outside the hall, he took Ma Zhouqin Suiliang and others to Chengtian Gate.

Li Shimin in the hall watched Gao Shilian walk out, and shouted to the eunuchs in the hall: "You all retreat too!"

The old ghost looked at Li Chengqian worriedly when he heard this, and Li Chengqian signaled him to just go out.

When the eunuchs in the palace retreated and closed the door from outside, they heard Li Shimin shouting angrily: "Chengqian kneel down!"

Li Chengqian knelt down reluctantly when he heard this, and put the crutch horizontally in front of him with a "splash".

Li Shimin looked at his face and looked even more ugly. After enduring, he said in a deep voice: "How many people do you want to kill?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at him in shock if Li Shimin said this.

"Your every move of King Jing is in your control. You should have taken him down long ago, but you issued an edict to force him to raise an uprising. Isn't it just to take the opportunity to implicate more people who oppose you?"

"It's time for you to order Shilian to persuade them to go back. Can they still go back?"

It turned out that Li Shimin thought that all this was designed by Li Chengqian, and the reason why King Jing got this point was to kill more people who opposed him.

Li Chengqian thought about what Li Shimin meant and said angrily: "The father thought of his son ministers too much, because his son ministers wanted to change the official system, some gentry ministers could not tolerate his son ministers.

They were determined to destroy the reputation of the son minister and said that the son minister was the king of Jie and Zhou. How could the son minister dare to rebel King Jing when there was no conclusive evidence?

Even if there were no other ministers, King Jing's affairs would have involved many noble families, and it would have to be a big case to handle.

If the son-in-law directly arrested King Jing and others and others to deal with it in the court, these people outside would definitely not believe King Jing’s rebellion.

At that time, if a minister cannot argue, what will the people in the world think? How will the historical books of later generations be written?

The court will inevitably lose its prestige, and by then the imperial edicts of the court may not be useful."

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian silent for a long time, and then said for a while: "You are hurt on your feet!"

Li Chengqian slowly got up with his hands pressed on the ground.

Li Shimin pointed at the Arhat bed and asked him to sit down, and said earnestly: "Chengqian, don't think that you are smart and all the people in the world are fools. When Emperor Yang of Sui was rebelling, the rebellion of several brothers was put down, but what was the end..."

Li Shimin was really unsure about Li Chengqian taking away so many ministers on one website, so he told Li Chengqian a lot and told him to treat his ministers kindly...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No matter what Li Shimin said, the outside things could not be changed. Even if Li Shimin goes out to Chengtian Gate now, the ministers in front of Chengtian Gate will ask him to imprison Li Chengqian in the East Palace.

Therefore, the persuasion of Gao Shilian, Suiliang, Ma Zhou and others was destined to be futile.

"This is Your Majesty's will, and you will be able to go home quickly. Do you want to resist the order and refuse to obey it?" Gao Shilian was very angry. No matter how the ministers below persuaded him, they just believed that Li Chengqian was afraid, so they used Li Shimin to bluff.

"Since Your Majesty is healthy and able to issue an order, please give your order to send the prince back to the Eastern Palace to study." Wei Siqian replied loudly below.

Zhu Suiliang couldn't help but ask indignantly: "What's wrong with Your Highness the Crown Prince's reign? Why did you want to go back to the Eastern Palace to study?"

"Li Chengqian dismissed officials at will and fabricated charges to harm ministers. How could he say that he was not at fault?" Cui Jingsi replied hatred.

"Hmph! Your Highness the Crown Prince dismissed the incompetent people and cured greedy people. What's wrong with eliminating harm for the people?" Gao Shilian also spoke.

...

...

Just as the two people were talking and talking, they suddenly rushed out of the imperial city to attack Chengtian Gate.

The general led was Helan Chushi, the son-in-law of General Qianniu of the former Eastern Palace.

When Li Shiji saw the Helan Chushi appear, he knew that King Jing Li Yuanjing was not far from Xuanwu Gate, so he ordered: "Release the signal given by His Highness the Crown Prince."

Gao Shilian and others knew that this matter would never be good, so they retreated to the back and gave it to Li Shiji and Qiu Xinggong.

As soon as he stepped down, he saw Li Shiji's personal guards lit a few Kongming lanterns and flew into the sky, thinking that this was a signal to the soldiers on Xuanwu Gate and Zhuque Street.

Seeing Kongming lantern flying higher, he couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone said that Zhuge Kongming is smart, but the wisdom of our crown prince is not inferior to Zhuge Kongming at all!"

...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At such a critical moment, Xue Wanche personally led his troops to Shengdaofang to grab anything, either the gunpowder produced in Shengdaofang.

But he didn't know that Li Chengqian handed over the gunpowder to Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian for management separately the two years ago.

Later, Li Chengqian took Xue Rengui away on the expedition, and Li Shimin took Pei Xingjian away on the expedition.

Such an important military weapon as gunpowder is not controlled by these two people, so Li Shimin would naturally not be placed in Shengdaofang anymore. He had long sent people to transfer the place where gunpowder was made to Yushan. There was only an empty shell in Shengdaofang that confuses outsiders.

Xue Wanche and his group were walking forward in the dark when they suddenly heard a loud shout from the front.

"Zhang Sizheng of the East Palace is here, who dares to break into Shengdaofang?"

As soon as a shout came out, countless torches suddenly appeared on the dark road ahead. The next team of East Palace guards were lined up here.

Xue Wanche immediately became happy when he saw this. There were indeed treasures in Shengdaofang. Otherwise, all the civilians in Shengdaofang would have been sent to Zhuque Street to quell the chaos. Why did the guards from the East Palace still remain here?

Moreover, he had also heard of Zhang Sizheng, who was the General of the Left Guard of the East Palace and Li Chengqian's confidant. Since he was here, gunpowder must be here too.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing and said arrogantly: "Xue Rengui is not in Chang'an, what can the generals of the Eastern Palace do to do?"

As he said that, he led his men to fight with the Eastern Palace Imperial Guards brought by Zhang Sizheng.

As soon as the two sides fought, the shouts of killing were heard several miles away.

Xue Wanche was a brave general of the Tang Dynasty. In less than half an hour, Zhang Sizheng could not resist it even if he tried his best.

Seeing this, Xue Wanche burst into laughter and suddenly slashed the general of the Eastern Palace who was blocking the horse with a knife. He lifted the reins of the horse and rushed out of the Eastern Palace guards to block the guards.

As soon as Xue Wanche rushed over, he went forward. When he ran more than a hundred steps, there were still three or four hundred people around him, while Zhang Sizheng and a group of Eastern Palace guards were still fighting with the people behind Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche looked back and thought that from then on, he mastered the number one magic weapon of the Tang Dynasty. Whoever he wanted to hit would be more than one person in the court.

While dreaming, I suddenly heard someone in front of me laughing and said, "But Xue Wanche sent his head to me?"

This man spoke in a very relaxed tone, as if he didn't take Xue Wanche seriously at all.

When Xue Wanche heard this, he was furious and was about to scold him, but he saw hundreds of torches lit up in front of him, and a team of Tang troops lined up to treat him.

The leader was wearing bright light armor and riding a tall horse. Under the torch, he was looking at him with a smile on his long white beard.
