The scene was too tragic.
Pools of blood of different sizes formed on the ground, broken limbs and broken arms were scattered all over the ground, and corpses were piled as high as a hill.
Less than half of the two thousand Changlin soldiers remained.
Li Yuanji's headless corpse looked so shocking.
The blood had completely stained Li Changqing's white armor. He seemed like an abyssal demon from hell.
Even Li Yuan did not dare to face his evil aura.
Li Yuan glanced at Li Yuanji's body, his eyes fell on Li Jiancheng, and said in a trembling voice:"What happened to make you kill each other?" At this moment, Li Jiancheng was filled with fear. He just wanted to survive and couldn't care about anything else. No time to think of an excuse.
He blurted out directly:"It's the fourth brother. The fourth brother encouraged me to use Xiuning's marriage to lure the sixth brother into the palace. I set an ambush at Xuanwu Gate to kill the sixth brother. It was all the fourth brother's instigation. I didn't want to do it. This step."
As he finished speaking, Li Yuan swayed. If Li Xiuning hadn't caught him in time, he would have lost his balance and fallen to the ground.
Based on Li Jiancheng's words, he instantly deduced the whole story of the brothers killing each other.
For a moment, I was devastated.
He conquered the country and sat on the throne, but his sons were killing each other!
There were tears in his eyes. He looked at Li Changqing and said in a pleading tone:"Changqing, the prince is your brother after all. Now that Yuanji has surrendered, just... spare the prince's life."
Li Changqing did not speak. He just looked silently at the man in front of him who had raised him like his own son for more than ten years.
All the memories from my childhood came to mind one by one.
Among the many brothers, Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba were the least liked by Li Yuan, while Li Changqing, Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng were the most favored.
Especially Queen Dou, who has passed away, was even better to Li Changqing than her own son.
Li Shimin and others were made jealous countless times.
The scene was silent and fell into absolute silence.
Everyone did not dare to breathe, and their eyes fell on this man who was as brave as a demon.
Li Yuan's eyes were filled with a deep feeling of licking the calf.
No matter what, Li Jiancheng is his son after all.
He did not use imperial orders to suppress Li Changqing because Li Jiancheng made a big mistake first and he did not want to be partial.
As time passed, Li Jiancheng's forehead was completely wet with sweat.
I don't know whether it was due to the blazing sun or the cold sweat caused by fear.
However, even with the scorching sun in the sky, he still felt cold all over.
Because Li Changqing's Qi was always locked on him!
After a long time, when Li Jiancheng's nervous heart was about to jump out of his chest, Li Changqing finally spoke.
"The prince has the intention to kill his son and his ministers, and his sons and ministers will regard him as an enemy and fight to the death!
However, the emperor's father was very kind to his son, which put him in a dilemma.
If I don't kill him, my son will be unhappy and his thoughts will not be clear. If you kill him, your father will definitely be heartbroken, which is unfilial to your father.
After much consideration, the son decided to throw a halberd at the prince. Everything depends on God's will.
Regardless of life or death, today's grudges will be dispersed with the wind. Quan should be grateful for his father's kindness. Hearing this
, Li Jiancheng suddenly turned pale with fear. He shouted in horror:"Father!" Li Changqing has the courage of a king, and fierce generals such as Xue Wanche and Feng Shili can hardly stop him. Never promise him! Otherwise, I will only die!"
Li Yuan closed his eyes in pain, hesitating in his heart. After a while, he opened them again, and it seemed as if there was a light that made people dare not look directly.
"I... agree!"
Li Changqing's indifferent expression revealed a smile for the first time, and the rising murderous aura in his eyes slowly dissipated.
He lifted the Fangtian Painted Halberd upside down and turned to face Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng was horrified and ran back in a hurry, shouting:"Raise the shield! Raise your shield!"
The thirty fully armed guards around him immediately raised their shields and protected Li Jiancheng firmly inside.
The next moment, an astonishing sonic boom was heard, and Fang Tian's painted halberd pierced the sky, turning into A streak of silver light quickly rushed toward Li Jiancheng like a shooting star.
"boom!"With a loud noise, all thirty armored guards flew out.
The armor on their bodies was all cracked and turned into pieces and fell to the ground.
Li Jiancheng, who was protected inside, lay motionless on the ground.
His face was pale, without a trace of blood. His eyes were looking at the sky blankly, with an expression of extreme fear in his pupils.
Li Jiancheng was not dead. Fang Tian Huaji, which was one foot long and weighed eight hundred kilograms, passed over his head. Breaking his crown and inserting it into the city wall behind him.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If Li Changqing killed Li Jiancheng, he really didn't know what he would do.
Soon, his face changed He became stern and reprimanded angrily:"The prince is incompetent and jealous, and is not worthy of being in charge of the country. Now Li Jiancheng has been dethroned as the crown prince, and he is imprisoned in the palace. He is not allowed to go out without my order!
The King of Qi, Li Yuanji, was cruel, unkind and unyielding, and encouraged the prince to commit fratricide. Now that he is dead, he will not be punished and he will be buried in the family mansion."
On the city wall, after listening to Li Yuan's order, Li Jiancheng looked pale, like a walking corpse.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing.
"Father, you actually deposed me, your eldest son, for the sake of an adopted son! Even if your fourth brother dies, you won’t hold anything accountable. Parental children are not as good as adopted children. How unfortunate it is to be born into the Li family!
Ever since he was little, you and your mother have doted on him. Simply, you might as well make him the prince and pass on the country and the country to him!"
Li Yuan's expression was uncertain, and his expression kept changing.
He waved his dragon robe for the last time and shouted:"Detain the deposed prince!""
The two Imperial Guards on the left and right listened to the order, immediately stepped forward, and escorted Li Jiancheng away.
Li Changqing bowed to Li Yuan and said:"The border is tight, and the Turks are watching eagerly. The son-in-law asked himself to take charge of Youzhou and serve as a permanent border guard for the Tang Dynasty to resist the Turks."
Youzhou, also known as Beijing in later generations, has an extremely important geographical location.
Once Youzhou is lost, the Turkic army will be able to march straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
By then, the people of the Central Plains will be under the iron heel of the Turks.
What a city and how wise Li Yuan is, it can be seen at a glance He saw through the deep meaning of Li Changqing's request to sit in Youzhou.
Resisting the Turks was one thing, but more importantly, he did not want to be involved in this chaotic royal dispute.
Unlike Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he did not care about the country, but only wanted to protect the country. Safe environment and safe people
"Giving birth to a child should be like Li Changqing!"
The biological sons Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin fought openly and secretly for the throne, and there was no trace of brotherhood.
Only Li Changqing still thought of his father in his heart.
Even if Li Jiancheng ambushed him, he still cared about his feelings for the baby. , and finally spared Li Jiancheng's life.
Otherwise, with his bravery, even if Li Jiancheng had ten lives, he would still die under that halberd.
Since he ascended the throne, Li Yuan would sigh in his heart every night when people are quiet, what if Li Changqing was his biological child? It would be great to have a son.
If Li Changqing were his biological son, he would not hesitate to abolish the eldest son succession system and make Li Changqing the crown prince.
But the Li Tang Dynasty must be inherited by the descendants of the Li family!
Forcibly suppress it Feeling the urge to make Li Changqing the crown prince, Li Yuan said:"I allow you to sit in Youzhou, but not in Yongzheng at the border. In three years at most, you must return to Beijing when you are crowned!"
