(Thank you very much for the support and encouragement of 'Haihu 888', 'Book Friends 38965322', 'Xcites' and monthly tickets.)
When Li Shimin said this, he suddenly pointed to the densely packed soldiers under Chai Shao in front of him: "Father, whether you are fighting the Far Eastern Army in Hedong, or in Sichuan and Shu, when you are fighting the Far Eastern Army, Any military action on our side, any strategic decision between the government and the public, will be known to the Far Eastern Army immediately, do you really think that this is the military intelligence office of the Far Eastern Army?"
No one answered Li Shimin's question. Li Yuan moved his lips a few times, but did not speak, because he knew that what Li Shimin said was true, and he, as a father, could not refute it.
Li Shimin's voice became more and more high-pitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "But, it's all them. They expressed their loyalty to their father, secretly colluded with the Far Eastern Army, and expressed their loyalty to Wang Junlin. That's right, our military pay and food are paid. Their support, but after occupying Guanzhong, large tracts of fertile land were finally occupied by them, and how much wealth fell into their mouths. Every time the father raised food and money, he still asked them. It should belong to us, to the soldiers who bleed desperately on the battlefield.”
Following Li Shimin's last words, the killing intent on the faces of Chai Shao's soldiers holding knives and guns became stronger. His eyes are full of murderous intent!
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan, whose expression had changed several times, and continued in a slow tone, "Father, you don't have to worry that our Li family will be backlashed after you kill these traitors today. I have also made preparations. Those who are local officials in their family are nothing to worry about. I will kill them later. As for the generals and generals in their family, my father does not have to worry, because Chang'an City has already been ordered by the child. Blockade, what happened in the city will not be spread, and after the event, just a military order can let them enter the city, and then kill them all."
Li Yuan didn't say anything immediately this time, but Li Jiancheng jumped out of the crowd and shouted sharply: "Second brother, are you crazy? If we destroy the powerful family, our foundation will be ruined. Why are we fighting for the world? Second brother , listen to your father’s words, and quickly kneel down to confess to your father, you are the best fighter among our brothers, as long as you confess to your father, your father will not punish you severely, and you can still lead the army to fight afterward.”
Li Jiancheng finished speaking in the tone of a three-year-old kid, but Li Shimin ignored him and kept staring at Li Yuan.
At this time, Li Yuan's expression kept changing. Obviously, what Li Shimin said before was not useless, and even touched his heart.
Of course, this has something to do with Li Shimin leading the army to push Li Yuan to a desperate situation.
Li Yuan can also take what Li Shimin said just now as a step given by his son. Now it depends on whether he should step on the step given by his son. After all, he walks down the step and it is good for everyone. .
Otherwise, Li Yuan also knows that with his son's ruthlessness and determination, if he doesn't walk down the steps given by the other party, although he won't be able to kill his father in public, he will be put under house arrest afterwards, and even be imprisoned. The possibility of being banned is very high.
In that case, life would be worse than death for Li Yuan, who was only in his fifties and also arrogant.
So, Li Yuan took a deep breath and shouted: "You rebellious son, in fact, you will not make trouble to force the palace tonight, and you are going to kill them for your father, but for your own consideration, you have to kill slowly. Killing, this is a safe strategy, but now that you have done it like this, I am afraid that it will be all right now
Killed. That being the case, let Weifu do the work! "
As soon as Li Yuan said these words, the expressions of the patriarchs and officials from the powerful families changed, especially those who were on two feet looked desperate.
"Li Yuan, your son is crazy, so you are also crazy."
"Li Yuan, have you ever thought that if you kill us today, the whole Guanzhong will be in chaos."
"Li Yuan, think about it carefully. If it weren't for the support and support of our families, you would have been able to compete for the world. Don't you want to be an ungrateful villain and be cast aside by the world."
"His Royal Highness Tang, we can swear by the blood of our ancestors that we will never have any contact with the Far Eastern Army in the future, otherwise we will lose our children and grandchildren."
"His Royal Highness Tang, you have heard the words of this rebellious son Li Shimin today. If you destroy our powerful family, you are bound to receive a strong backlash. There will definitely be great chaos in Guanzhong. If the Far East Army sends a large army to attack at this time, you will definitely lose Guanzhong. , was destroyed by Wang Junlin."
……
……
All the patriarchs of the aristocratic families spoke one after another, intimidating and luring, each speaking more beautifully than the other, and each looking more sincere than the other, but in the eyes of Li Jing behind Li Jiancheng, it was more like a dying struggle.
Li Yuan did not stop these people from speaking, but he never hesitated from the beginning to the end.
This is not to say that Li Yuan has no thoughts after hearing these words, nor does it have no influence on his decision, but that he knows that by now, he can no longer control the scene.
Right now, it is not him who has the final say here, but his son Li Shimin. Instead of letting Li Shimin kill him, it is better to take this as a step and take the initiative to walk down.
Even Li Yuan suddenly understood one thing.
Before in the main hall, Li Shimin, the naughty son, was followed by the terrifying killer who had the opportunity to kill all the patriarchs of these powerful families, but he never did it. The steps left for him.
So, in the end, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Kill all these traitors who colluded with foreign enemies."
When Li Yuan said this, there was a ghost in his heart, and the patriarchs and officials of the aristocratic families who had done bad things suddenly became even uglier, with despair and misery on their faces.
But in front of Li Yuan, the two or three thousand imperial guards and guards on the steps breathed a sigh of relief, and some civil and military officials secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
And Li Jiancheng was also secretly thankful, because he knew that he should be able to survive, but at this time Li Jing suddenly said a very strange sentence in his ear, which was only heard by Li Jiancheng, and no one else even noticed Li Jing little action.
However, what was strange was that Li Jiancheng's words fell into Li Jiancheng's ears, as if he had been cast by a devil's spell. He stood up out of nowhere and said loudly, "Father, you can't do this. If any of you dare to kill them, Just step on my dead body."
There was a dead silence in the audience.
"Sure enough, my elder brother has been controlled by that monster Wang Junlin. He said such stupid things to try to spoil my good deeds." Li Shimin's expression turned cold.
Li Yuan's face was a bit ugly, with a look of disappointment. He was disappointed that Li Jiancheng would jump out and say such a thing at this time, how stupid it must be to do such a thing.
And Dugu Changsu and the head of the Zheng family looked even more disappointed.
The civil and military officials shook their heads secretly.
As for the troops present, no matter whether they are from Li Shimin's side or the soldiers in front of Li Yuan
When the soldiers of the army looked at Li Jiancheng one by one, their eyes were full of cold light and chill.
However, Li Jiancheng didn't seem to notice the change in everyone's eyes and expressions. He came to the heads of the powerful families and puffed up his chest. The imperial guards had to stop.
Li Yuan yelled loudly: "It's my father's decision not to retreat after the completion."
Li Jiancheng shook his head obstinately, and said: "Father, the patriarchs of the powerful families can swear allegiance to father with the blood of their ancestors. They are the foundation of our Li family's struggle for the world. If they are killed, there will be chaos in Guanzhong. What else do we use to compete for the world."
Li Yuan was so angry that he pointed at Li Jiancheng, speechless for a long time.
At this time, a cavalryman hurriedly ran from outside the imperial city, came to Li Shimin and whispered: "Second son, the army outside the city has noticed the change in the city, and some troops have already begun to gather. General Yin Kaishan asked Someone sent a secret letter, saying that the city must end as soon as possible, otherwise he will soon lose control of the situation outside the city, and if it continues, it may be too late to change."
Li Shimin's expression suddenly turned cold, and then he looked at Li Jiancheng with murderous intent in his expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. No. 1, please take another shot and kill them. If anyone dares to stop them, they will be killed without mercy."
"As you wish." No. 1 Assassin King said expressionlessly, and then walked towards the patriarchs and Li Jiancheng of those aristocratic families who stepped on two boats.
When the King of Assassins No. 1 came before the soldiers of the Imperial Army under the steps, the soldiers of the Imperial Army quickly moved out of the way.
The No. 1 Assassin King passed through the soldiers and guards of the Forbidden Army non-stop, and came before the heads of those powerful families and Li Jiancheng.
At this time, Li Jiancheng still didn't walk away, so the No. 1 Killer King had no choice but to draw his sword.
The expressions of Li Yuan and Li Shimin changed.
Li Shimin hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
But at the same time as Li Shimin was shouting, the wrist of No. 1 Killer King suddenly moved slightly.
The next moment, a sword light flashed, and there was a red spot on Li Jiancheng's throat, an expanding blood spot that was still flowing.
Li Jiancheng fell to the ground holding his neck in disbelief and disbelief.
"Completed!" Li Yuan's complexion changed drastically, he wanted to rush over, but was firmly stopped by two old men and Dugu Changsu behind him.
Li Shimin's face is also a little ugly. He has already had the reputation of killing his brother Li Yuanji. If he had no choice, he would never want to kill his brother again. It is not a good thing for him who is determined to be an emperor, and an emperor through the ages.
It's just that although Li Jiancheng is now the No. 1 Killer King, he will definitely be the one who killed Li Jiancheng in the end.
The most important thing is that this move will definitely anger my father completely, causing my father to stop walking down the steps he gave.
And his father took the initiative to give him power, and he forced his father to abdicate, these are completely two situations, resulting in two results, whether it is good or not.
Sure enough, with red eyes, Li Yuan pointed at Li Shimin and cursed: "Li Shimin, you bastard, you killed your younger brother Yuan Ji, and now you killed your elder brother, you are no longer a human, you are a devil, you are not even a beast!" Not as good."
When Li Shimin heard this, his expression became even more ugly and gloomy.
On the other hand, the No. 1 Assassin King continued to kill regardless of his disregard. No matter how those powerful and aristocratic family masters who stepped on two boats fled, the No. 1 Assassin King could easily catch up and kill them with a single blow.
