Li Shimin took the lead and rushed forward waving his sword. Those Li Ke's soldiers were helpless. Li Shimin was always old, but his majesty as an emperor never diminished.
He opened his bow left and right, and each swing of his sword would take away a living life. After a while, Li Shimin rode his war horse and faced Li Ke head-on. "Treason, are you planning to kill your father and king, and seek power to usurp the throne?" ?”
"I'm just doing what a descendant of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty should do. I just don't want my brothers and feet to be mutilated and the whole country of Li Tang to be destroyed at the hands of the Wu family."
Li Ke deliberately called himself "I" in front of Li Shimin. He wanted Li Shimin to adapt to his identity as the new emperor. Li Shimin looked at Li Ke, who called himself "I", and clenched his back teeth in hatred.
"There is only one emperor in the Tang Dynasty, and there can only be one emperor, and that is me. Is the Huangkou boy worthy of being called emperor? Li Chengqian, an unworthy person, can still feel at ease and calm in your tent. If I were him, I must have killed you long ago."
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and felt very angry. At this moment, he just wanted to kill this traitor quickly. He hated himself for putting Quan Wanji next to Li Ke in the first place.
I hate myself for not discovering Li Ke's ambition earlier and not sending troops earlier. Now that he has become a leader, he still dares to lead troops to humiliate himself.
As he spoke, Li Shimin tightened his legs on the horse's belly, and the sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and he stabbed Li Ke without hesitation.
Originally, Li Ke could have shot at him with the Zhuge Liannu, but Li Ke did not do that. He also raised the sword in his hand and raised his hand to meet Li Shimin's sword.
The two were in a stalemate on the horse. If the look in his eyes could kill a person, then the sword in Li Shimin's eyes would have cut Li Ke into pieces.
The confrontation between Li Shimin and Li Ke on the battlefield made the atmosphere tense and depressing.
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke coldly, with a trace of anger and disappointment in his eyes: "Li Ke, you are treason. Do you know that you are treason? Even if you kill me and ascend to the great treasure, you will be ridiculed by future generations!"
Li Ke responded expressionlessly: "I am just protecting the country that you have worked so hard to build, father. If you hadn't indulged Wu's enchantress and killed Zhongliang, how could Li Ke be forced to get involved in this court dispute? I originally thought I have spent my life as an idle wild king, but the current situation is unstable and I will not give Li Ke this opportunity."
Li Shimin sneered: "Everyone in the world says that Mei Niang is a witch and the star of the country's subjugation, but she clearly did nothing. But you guys, who talk about the greatness of the Tang Dynasty and are self-righteous, in the name of doing good for the Tang Dynasty, Do what you plan for yourself!”
A trace of anger flashed in Li Ke's eyes. Even now, he is still talking about that witch. Others don't know the history. As a full-level human who has traveled through time, Li Ke cannot understand this period of history in the Tang Dynasty.
If it weren't for saving his own life, Li Ke wouldn't care who was the emperor, whether Jiangshan's surname was Li or Wu!
Li Ke looked at the stubborn Li Shimin in front of him and hated him for being such an old fool.
"Father, please don't forget that Li Chunfeng's prophecies have never been miscalculated. Everyone is worried about the Queen coming to power. Only the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not worried!"
Li Shimin's voice became colder: "Li Ke, stop making excuses for your rebellion. I am going to kill your traitor today with my own hands?"
Li Shimin's sword pointed at Li Ke's throat, and his voice was full of killing intent: "Li Ke, do you think you have won now? I can tell you, you are wrong! You are just an ant, one who is destined to be stepped on by me. Ants under your feet!”
Li Ke looked at Li Shimin without flinching, and there was a hint of determination in his voice: "You can kill me, but you can't kill the flame in my heart!"
"You can't kill the world's determination to oppose the demon girl. Even if Li Ke dies in battle today, Li Zhi, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai will become the next beings you fear!"
The eyes of the two people met in the air, as if there was an invisible force stirring between them.
They all know that this war is not only a military contest, but also a spiritual duel.
After several rounds of duels, Li Shimin was exhausted and was breathing heavily. Li Ke obviously did not use his full strength. He did not want to leave himself with the crime of killing his father and killing his king.
Although Li Shimin has been deceived by the witch, he is nominally the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his father. Even if Li Ke wants to ascend the throne, he does not want Li Shimin to lose too badly.
Li Ke suddenly withdrew his sword, and there was a trace of fatigue in his voice: "Father, maybe we can put down the sword and sit down and have a good talk."
"What? Do you want to admit that you have lost? Do you think I have anything to talk about with you?"
"Father, please turn around and look behind you. Chang'an City has been lost, and the real soldiers have occupied this place." Li Ke pointed behind Li Shimin with his chin.
Li Shimin then turned around and looked back. Li Ke's flag was hanging high at the city gate. Behind him, Wei Chigong, Qin Zaiming, Quan Wanji and others had already surrounded Li Shimin and his few remaining soldiers at some unknown time. .
Li Shimin looked at everything in front of him, with complex emotions welling up in his heart. He knew that he had lost the Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty that he had worked hard to build. Like his father, he was kicked off the throne by his own son.
"Father, I do not regret today's choice." There was a trace of determination in Li Ke's voice.
"Even though I know this road is full of thorns and dangers, I still have to go on. I want to prove my worth to you and prove that the Tang Dynasty will be more prosperous in the hands of me, Li Ke."
Li Shimin gave a bitter smile: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, that's it." After saying that, he wanted to raise his sword to commit suicide, but Yu Chigong knocked the sword from Li Shimin's hand to the ground. Yuchi Gong stepped forward and knelt in front of Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, why is this necessary? The King of Shu is kind-hearted and will not embarrass Your Majesty. The Crown Prince is also willing to hand over the future of the country to the King of Shu. Please make an order to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of your Majesty."
Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Gong with a confused look on his face. The general who had accompanied him through life and death and won the throne was now kneeling in front of him and telling him nonsense to order him to give way.
"You are not letting me die, just to force me to decree and hand over the country to the hands of this rebellious son, so that the world will not laugh at him for seeking power and usurping the throne?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
"I will not follow your wishes. Even if I die, I will not issue this edict."
Li Shimin's eyes were bloodshot and he looked at the people around him angrily. The unwillingness and despair in his eyes made people shudder.
