Traveling quickly, Li Shimin and others quickly arrived outside the Ziwei Palace. At this time, the Ziwei Palace was already surrounded by the few remaining guards in the harem.
Pei Ji and Chen Shuda stood straight at the door of the palace, showing no fear in the face of Yu Chigong who rushed towards him, and angrily shouted: "You came in unannounced, do you want to rebel?"
Yuchi Gong raised his head and sneered and replied: "It's not that we want to rebel! It's the prince and the King of Qi who rebelled. Now they have been captured by us. Get out of the way quickly. We want to see your majesty!"
"Nonsense!" Pei Ji had the closest relationship with Li Jiancheng. When he heard this, his eyes widened with anger and he pointed at Yuchi Gong. His whole body seemed to be shaking with anger.
When Cheng Yaojin saw this, he squeezed forward and shouted: "Why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Get out of here! We want to enter the palace to escort you!"
"Haha, escort?" Pei Ji laughed miserably and did not answer. He just pulled out the sword in his hand with a clang, and pointed the sword's edge at Li Shimin, who was surrounded by everyone.
"kill!!!"
The cry to kill rang out again!
Seeing this scene, everyone knows that it is impossible to enter the palace without bleeding, so there is nothing to say, just fight in!
The door of the main hall.
Angry shouts and screams resounded through the clouds!
Countless blood and mutilated limbs have evolved into the main elements of the entire picture.
When Chen Shuda, the last person standing in front of the door, was nailed to the column by Luo Shixin, Li Shimin finally took a long breath and slowly pushed open the palace door, which was mostly stained red with blood.
A ray of light shines through the opened palace door.
It's different than anyone imagined.
In the Ziwei Hall, Li Yuan was sitting quietly on a chair. Under his gray hair, his cloudy eyes looked at Li Shimin and others who were walking step by step from the door.
"Father..."
He shouted awkwardly. Although Li Shimin had imagined the scene of father and son meeting countless times in his mind, when he faced it, he found that the reasons he had given himself before were still so hypocritical!
In front of me is my biological father! And I just killed my own brother! Now he has to force his father to abdicate! From now on, how can we talk about filial piety and etiquette?
Thinking of this, a strong sense of guilt instantly rose up in Li Shimin's heart, making his steps forward shake.
At this time, the same guilty conscience as Li Shimin was Xiao Han, who looked gloomy!
He never denies it! The Li Yuan in front of him had given him countless tolerance and protection!
It was precisely because of this tolerance and protection that he had become an upstart in the court within just a few years of coming to the Tang Dynasty.
In these years, even in the face of countless people's impeachment, even if he did something outrageous, the old man's trust in him has never diminished, and now, he has become the murderer's helper who overthrew him...
The footsteps of the two people slowly stopped.
In front of him, Li Yuan's eyes finally changed, from being blank and lifeless, to gradually becoming fierce.
"What are you doing here!" Li Yuan looked at the people in front of him coldly, and there seemed to be a chill in his voice!
"I……"
Li Shimin opened his mouth subconsciously, but he couldn't come up with the excuse he had thought of before!
In the main hall, a deathly silence fell for a moment.
"Your Majesty, when will you meditate?"
At this moment, suddenly, a loud shout broke the desperate silence!
Wearing heavy armor, Yu Chigong looked like an ancient ferocious beast, holding a long spear dripping with blood in one hand, and the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the other!
Stepping on blood! Walk towards Li Yuan step by step!
"When will Your Majesty take the throne!!"
“When will Your Majesty take the throne!!!”
Three loud shouts came out of his mouth in succession!
By the time the last word was spoken, the bloody horsetail in Yuchi Gong's hand had already been handed to Li Yuan's eyes, as if it would pierce his head in the next second!
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the chair, did not look at the cold-blooded horse, nor even looked at the heads of his two sons. He just took a deep look at Li Shimin, and then slowly closed his eyes, with two lines of blood and tears flowing down his face. It flowed down the cheeks.
"The throne, haha, the throne! Is that what you think? Then why not kill your father too?"
"Father!"
After hearing Li Yuan's resentful words, Li Shimin finally stepped forward and pulled away Yuchi Gong, who was exuding a ferocious aura. Then he lifted up his robe and knelt down in front of Li Yuan without saying a word for a long time.
Li Yuan's hand was filled with blood and tears. Veins bulged out in his hand. He trembled a few times before he restrained himself from lifting it.
Finally, what he feared most happened in front of him! At this moment, Li Yuan deeply realized what it means to be sad more than to die.
"That's all, this position stained with the blood of Jiancheng and Yuanji, if you want it, I'll give it to you!" With a hard breath, Li Yuan threw away the throne that he once regarded as extremely important, as if discarding an old rag.
"Thank you...Father."
Hearing this long-awaited answer, Li Shimin lowered his head deeply, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, he just sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, please use your seal!"
Among the crowd, Xue Shuang's eyelids twitched slightly. After hearing Li Yuan's words, he did not dare to delay. He immediately took out the two imperial edicts that had been prepared in his arms and handed them over respectfully.
Li Yuan took the imperial edict without looking at it, and ordered Wei San, who was kneeling not far away, to bring his seal, and then used the seal on the blank space without hesitation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xue Shou watched helplessly as the big seal symbolizing the emperor's power was stamped on the edict. He was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his hands to receive the edict.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan put away the two imperial edicts at this time, and then looked at Li Shimin who was still kneeling in front of him and asked word by word: "The throne! I can give it to you! But the child of Jiancheng and Yuanji!"
Li Shimin lowered his head deeply. He knew what Li Yuan wanted him to say, so he said without hesitation: "Father, don't worry! From now on, I will not kill my brothers, relatives and friends again."
It wasn't until Li Yuan heard these words that he handed over the imperial edict and said coldly: "Remember what you said today! I am tired now, please step back."
"Here!" Li Shimin nodded slowly, took a few steps back on his knees, and then dared to stand up.
"etc!"
Seeing that Li Shimin was about to leave, Du Ruhui suddenly felt something in his heart and stopped him first, cupping his hands and saying:
"There are very few guards in your majesty's palace now. I think for your majesty's safety, I'd better ask General Yuchi and General Liu Hongji to stay here to protect your majesty's safety!"
Li Yuan raised his head after hearing this and glanced at Du Ruhui who was speaking, his eyes full of anger and sarcasm!
But he also knew that at this time, his own thoughts were the most useless.
"Okay, thank you both."
Li Shimin also knew what Du Ruhui meant. Although he felt guilty, he still nodded and agreed.
