Li Chengqian, who was shackled with iron chains, trembled and knelt on the ground: "I don't dare."
This is the truth
Li Shimin: "Yes, you don't dare. Xiao Sizi, do you dare?"
Li Mingda said with a disdainful look: "We don't need it."
<(￣ˇ￣)/
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Li Ji and other civil and military officials felt something was wrong when they heard the conversation, but they couldn't get in the conversation now and could only watch silently.
Li Mingda's answer surprised Li Shimin: "Jinyang, you are so confident, is there anything you can do?"
"Simple, in your case, Father, I will give you some sleeping pills to sleep for two days, and then issue an imperial edict to directly succeed you." Li Mingda felt that his words were not very satisfactory and added: "The prerequisite is that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty must I feel that my father is stupid and needs to be replaced."
Of course, these are all lies. It is not that simple to be emperor. After sleeping pills are taken, it will be either house arrest or murder. Then you have to clear out the opponents who are enough to threaten your position as soon as possible, and you also need to have enough Supporters, otherwise those people who have no foundation will be poisoned, strangled, and hanged without knowing when.
This was the situation in the late Tang Dynasty when emperors were changed every three days.
Li Shimin turned his eyes and looked at the shivering Li Chengqian and sighed: "Gao Ming, I already know the whole story."
Li Chengqian: "My son and I have made mistakes and are willing to be punished."
Li Shimin nodded: "In that case, someone said that the prince and his group were forced into the prison, and Changsun Wuji stayed behind."
"promise"
The imperial guards escorted Li Chengqian, Li Moyun and others away, but Changsun Wuji was left behind.
Lao Li looked pleased: "Wuji, thank you for your hard work. Someone come and loosen Wuji's bonds."
Changsun Wuji looked relieved, and Li Mingda stopped the guard: "Wait a minute, don't rush to excuse him, dare to ask my father why he let him go."
Li Shimin: "Wuji pretended to cooperate with Gao Ming and secretly sent information to his father. He is not guilty."
Li Mingda crossed his arms and asked, "So, what's going on with him tampering with the imperial edict and wanting to kill me on the spot!"
Changsun Wuji explained: "This is what Li Moyun did."
Li Mingda: "Where are your notes and seal on the imperial edict?"
Changsun Wuji: "This was all written under Li Moyun's pressure."
Li Mingda: "Do you think this princess will believe what you say?"
Changsun Wuji looked upright and shouted: "I am loyal and loyal, and heaven and earth can learn from it!"
bang bang bang bang
Li Mingda broke down: "Your acting skills are so good. If I hadn't gotten the information in advance, I would have been deceived by you. You colluded with Li Moyun to discuss the matter. Li Moyun stamped the imperial edict he asked you to write with his seal in order to prevent you from denying it afterwards. You think this princess doesn’t know!”
"My princess's royal guards are not freeloaders. There are so many hidden evidences of corrupt officials. You are mysterious and secretive every day, and you are the one who hides and harms me every day. I, princess, can I not place people around you? Changsun Wuji, my princess I’ll give you another chance to tell lies and make up a reason that this princess will believe.”
Seeing that the limelight was not right, Changsun Wuji began to quickly think of how to deal with the matter, and finally chose the simplest method to deny it.
"I am just being arrogant and have no intention of harming Her Royal Highness. Your Majesty, please be aware of this."
Damn you, you should ask Lao Li for help, right? But you made a miscalculation today. After today, things will change in Datang.
At this moment, Li Mingda wanted to see who Lao Li was facing. This was related to how he would deal with Lao Li after he got into trouble.
Li Mingda pretended to be angry, and then asked Lao Li with an aggrieved look: "Father, what do you think?"
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji. He was his elder brother-in-law who had been by his side through thick and thin for so many years. He worked hard and made great achievements, and he was also his right arm!
Look at Li Mingda again. She is my own daughter. She is cute and quirky. She is the treasure in my heart and the pearl in my palm. She has helped him through the most rare moments since he joined politics. Most of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is due to her. This is my fault. His right arm too!
well
"You two are uncle and niece as well as my right-hand man. Can't you get along well with each other? Today I will neither hold Wuji accountable nor hold Jinyang accountable for your fault."
Li Shimin waved his hand with a proud look on his face and said, "Jinyang, I know all your little thoughts, but I don't blame you. After all, you have been inspiring to be as great an emperor as I am since you were a child, but I have to educate you today. You once, you can’t take anything I won’t give you.”
Li Mingda looked at the nagging Lao Li with a suspicious look on his face and asked him: "Father, what do you want to say?"
ヾ(????`o)+
Li Shimin pointed to Li Ru, Xiaoxian, Jin Yiwei and Yan Liang outside and said, "These are all hermit disciples who have taken refuge in you, right?"
Li Mingda nodded: "Yes, they are all mine."
Li Shimin said proudly: "I noticed their existence the first time they appeared, and then relied on my charm and high-ranking officials to recruit them under my command. In fact, the reason why they work for you is just to obey." It’s just my arrangement.”

Meow meow meow
Murong Xue stretched out her head and asked Li Mingda in a low voice: "Gouzi, you are an old driver and your car has overturned. What should you do? Do you want to try acting cute and see if you can get through?"
Li Mingda pushed away Murong Xue's little fat face: "What are you afraid of? We are ready for the reversal. I would rather die standing than live on my knees."
Murong Xue nodded: "Well, it's my second time to be a human being anyway, so if you die, just die."
Li Mingda: "Father, now that you know about it, what are you going to do?"
Li Shimin: "Jinyang, you are my daughter, the apple of my eye. I don't want to do anything to you. Put down your sword and be a princess."
Li Mingda shook his head with a sad look: "No, when the time comes, I would rather give it a try. Life and death depend on fate and wealth. If we can't get it peacefully, then we can get it with the sword in my hand."
Canglanglang's horizontal sword is unsheathed
Murong Xue also drew out her scimitar.
Li Mingda and Murong Xue showed their blades, and the remaining people who followed did not hesitate to pull out the horizontal knives in their hands.
Li Mingda showed his sword, and Lao Li followed closely. The Jin Yiwei and Baiqi Sijia guards on the left and right sides of the hall pulled out the horizontal swords on their waists.
This rhythm of drawing swords is contagious, spreading like dominoes from the main hall of Tai Chi Palace to the outside.
Throughout the imperial city, the sailors and holy warriors brought by Li Mingda faced off with the guards who were a few meters away from him, drawing swords and using crossbows.
The atmosphere in the entire palace was extremely tense. As long as the cry of killing came to mind, it was bound to be a fight.
Li Shimin saw Li Mingda's determination: "Jinyang, put down the sword, I can come closer and let you be the princess."
Li Mingda shook his head: "I'm not interested in being a princess or anything like that. Today I'm just here to get the throne."
