Chapter 481: Li Shimin
Li Shimin asked someone to carry a chair and untie Li Chengde from the rope.
"sit."
Li Chengde was nervous, and the sweat on his forehead had not dried up. Although he had a lot of hatred for his "second uncle," he was mostly afraid.
At that time, Li Shimin ordered the entire family of Prince Yin's mansion to be massacred. Except for Princess Yin's concubine Zheng Guanyin and several concubine princesses who were lucky enough to survive, the rest of them all died.
Now that the enemy who killed his father and brother was right in front of him, Li Chengde didn't know what to do.
Kill Li Shimin?
Not to mention whether he can do it or not, just looking at the palace guards watching eagerly on both sides of the palace, you can tell that if he makes the slightest move, he will be chopped into pieces with knives.
Li Shimin ignored Xue Wanche, who was shivering in the hall, but was very curious about Li Chengde.
"I ask you, do you want to kill me?"
Li Chengde nodded, "I don't want to kill you all the time."
"Then what are your plans after killing me? Ascending the throne? Changing the country and changing the title?"
Li Chengde's expression froze, and he shook his head and said: "I have never thought about ascending the throne and proclaiming myself emperor, let alone destroying the long-established foundation of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin wondered: "Why? Do you look down on this supreme position?"
Li Chengde replied coldly: "Supreme? It's just a cage."
Li Shimin's brows were frivolous, these words sounded very familiar.
"Yes, it is indeed the position of the prisoner of the dragon!"
"Li Shimin, don't be hypocritical. I fall into your hands today. You can kill me or chop me into pieces. Please do as you please!"
Li Chengde believed that Li Shimin was humiliating him. He did not expect that Xue Wanche, a "waste", would directly hand him over to Li Shimin.
But Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I didn't want to inflict it on you, but who could you blame for seeking your own death?"
"You took away my father's throne and killed my entire family. What's wrong with me taking revenge?"
Li Shimin said: "You are indeed right, but if I didn't take action at the beginning, I am afraid that everyone in Prince Qin's palace would be dead."
Li Chengde snorted coldly, "You are so arrogant, my father treats you like a family member, and you killed me regardless of your brotherly feelings..."
Li Shimin glared at Li Chengde and said, "Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Li Ji, Fang Xuanling, and Cheng Zhijie, all the civil and military generals of the Qin Prince's Palace, were forced to a dead end by Li Jiancheng. Yuan Ji even wanted to harm my prince, and he will
I regard him as a thorn in my side. If I don’t rebel, how will I survive? If I don’t kill him, how can I take charge of the Tang Dynasty?”
"How can a thief of the country be so proud of himself?"
"Because I am stronger than Li Jiancheng! My Tang Dynasty has nothing to fear!"
Li Chengde and Li Shimin were arguing endlessly, one was scolding and the other was defending himself.
The throne is dangerous, and there is no right or wrong.
Li Shimin is the winner, so he can get to where he is today.
Li Jiancheng failed, so he went to a dead end.
Who can be blamed for this?
Li Shimin was not Li Fangchen, and he could not be as disdainful of power and wealth as Li Fangchen. If he and Li Jiancheng had maintained a relationship, the Xuanwu Gate incident would not have evolved.
What Li Shimin is most proud of is not the various achievements he left after he succeeded to the throne, but his princes.
Each has its own strengths and talents.
There were no fights in the palace, and brothers never competed for favor.
Li Chengde shouted: "That's because you were lucky enough to have King Qin appear in this world. If not, how could your throne be so stable?"
When he first ascended the throne, the country was in turmoil and there were evil tigers (Turks) watching from the side.
The White Horse Alliance and the banks of the Weishui River made him gnash his teeth and never forget it in his dreams.
The reason why all this changed was indeed because in the second year of Zhenguan, a boy named Fang Chen entered Chang'an.
"Haha, Li Shimin, I can't help you, but God will punish you! Your Li family's Qilin son has ten years left to live, so it is a punishment from God, and the father's debt must be paid by the son. The sky has eyes!"
When Li Fangchen's ten-year lifespan was mentioned, Li Shimin was caught with sore feet.
"Come here, take him to Dali Temple and lock him up for me. You will not be released for the rest of your life!"
Li Chengde smiled even more proudly, "If you really have the ability, why don't you save the King of Qin? Does the King of Qin not matter as much as the imperial power in your eyes? Or maybe you are afraid, you are afraid that he will steal your throne, haha, of course
How ridiculous! You are nothing more than a foolish emperor who is jealous of talents and talents. How can you have the dignity to honor the emperor and proclaim yourself emperor?"
"Take me down here!"
Accompanied by Li Shimin's roar, Li Chengde was taken away from the Zichen Palace by the guards, laughing crazily along the way.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Li Shimin looked at Xue Wanche, "Are you like him?"
Xue Wanche didn't even dare to say, how unlucky would he be if Li Shimin angered him?
"Hmph! Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?"
"I am stupid and do not understand your Majesty's intentions."
Two figures walked in outside the palace and came to the palace and said in unison: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the right armed guard has moved, and all the rebels have been killed!"
"Li Daozong? Yuchi Jingde?"
When Xue Wanche saw the two of them, his head was so buzzing that it exploded.
Before entering the palace, he felt rebellious and ordered his men to gather the right military guards and be on standby at all times.
Now that the plan was exposed, he was left with only one way to die.
"You two have worked hard, please step aside."
"yes!"
After the two of them left, Li Shimin stepped forward and kicked Xue Wanche again.
"Is this what you say you don't dare to say?"
The matter has come to this, it's too late to say anything.
Kneel? Why kneel?
Xue Wanche wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sat up and faced Li Shimin.
"How come? You want to kill me too?"
Xue Wanche snorted coldly: "So what?"
"I will treat you well!"
Xue Wanche shouted: "Li Shimin, do I, Xue Wanche, owe you anything?"
Li Shimin frowned and stared at Xue Wanche, wanting to hear what he was going to say next.
Xue Wanche took off his coat, revealing his muscles and the layers of scars on his body caused by the war.
"After the Xuanwu Sect, you showed your courtesy and love for talents. You married the princess and me, and you even gave me many rewards. I thought I met the Mingjun again. Prince Yin treats my brother, and you treat me
Like limbs."
Li Shimin sneered: "In this case, you still want to deceive me? Or even trigger a mutiny?"
Xue Wanche had already given up and sneered: "Danyang had an affair with others, and the two sons in my name are not biological. Did you ever take care of it? In the battle of Goguryeo, there were countless people with outstanding achievements. How did you, Li Shimin, reward me? Once I
I believe you have the world in your heart, but now you are just an unscrupulous and ignorant king who is greedy for imperial power!"
"Asshole!"
How could Li Shimin not be angry when Xue Wanche pointed at him and scolded him?
He went up to him and greeted him with fists and kicks. The beating left Xue Wanche with a black nose and swollen face, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
Not dodging, dodging or fighting back, Xue Wanche didn't even make a sound.
"I am the lord of the world, the Emperor of Zhongxing in the Tang Dynasty, how dare you insult me like this?"
"Insulting you? Li Chengde is right, you Li Shimin just gave birth to a good son!"
