Chapter 350: Li Chengqian lying on the gun!

Qizhou, Li Youzheng looked worried. Although he chose to rebel, he didn't have a specific plan on how to do it next.

"Your Highness, at this point, we might as well enter Douzigang as robbers. The Emperor of Qizhou City will definitely send people to attack. With Qizhou's strength, we can't resist it at all." A man dressed as a general said to Li You, His name is Yan Hongliang, he is deeply trusted by Li You, and he used to be a dog fighter in the market.

Li You frowned, "Isn't this too insulting to my status as a prince?"

Yan Hongliang arrived and said: "Your Highness, why are you still talking about your identity now? Life matters."

"Let me think about it for a few more days." Li You still hesitated, this time, he made the decision without even discussing with Yin Hongzhi, and now the city is recruiting troops, and he believes that with his own ability, he can still make a fortune.

Li You is discussing countermeasures with Yan Hongliang here, but the situation in Zhechong Mansion in Qizhou is different. Now the world is peaceful, and Li Shimin has just pacified the grassland. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty is now approaching its peak. None of these soldiers have any worries , When Li You decided to rebel, their hearts also came alive. In their view, rebelling with Li You is purely courting death, and among them, Du Xingmin, who joined the army with Cao Cao, was the leader.

"That's right, the King of Qi can rebel, we don't have to follow suit."

"..."

The soldiers surrounded each other and talked to each other, but no one was willing to take Li You's place as a dead ghost. It can be seen how Li You was imaged in their hearts.

"Everyone, calm down, the world is peaceful now, treason is the way to death, everyone knows it in their hearts, and now the emperor is diligent in government and loves the people, we can't follow King Qi to plot rebellion." Du Xingmin analyzed.

"That's right.", "That's right"...

Raising his hand to signal the soldiers to be quiet, Du Xingmin said: "I have an idea, instead of waiting to die in vain, why don't we just trap King Qi and **** him to Chang'an tonight, so that we are not only innocent, but also a great achievement, everyone What do you think?"

"Well, Du Canjun's advice, we can do what you say."

"All according to Du Canjun's instructions."

"..." The soldiers echoed one after another.

Seeing this, Du Xingmin nodded in satisfaction and said: "Tonight, King Qi is said to be hosting a feast for local noble gentry to conspire with the rebellion, so we will wipe them all out tonight."

As night fell, there was singing and dancing in Prince Qi's mansion. Princess Qi also came out to meet the guests in person, and together with Li You entertained the gentry of these places. None of these people were not afraid of chaos in the world. After Li You announced his independence, these people expressed Support, speculators will not be lacking in any dynasty. When everyone was drunk, there was a loud noise outside Qi Palace, and then a group of heavily armed soldiers poured into Qi Palace, led by Du Xingmin The soldiers of the palace surrounded Qi Wang's mansion with impenetrable water.

"Bold, who told you to come to Prince Qi's mansion, why don't you get out and startle my guests, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" Li You stood up staggeringly, thinking that he was the one who could call the wind and rain in Qizhou King Qi.

Du Xingmin glanced at the guests at the feast, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He knew all these people, and none of them was a well-known unscrupulous businessman in Qizhou. Arrest them all and take them to Chang'an."

..."Yes!" The soldiers Hong Sheng shouted, a group of soldiers rushed over with shining horizontal knives, trapped Li You, and the others were also tied into rice dumplings.

Li You and Yan Hongliang just came to their senses and scolded, "You Du Xingmin, how dare you rebel."

"Hmph, the world is peaceful now, but you are going against the sky. I'm not plotting a rebellion, I'm just trying to find a way for the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion." After finishing speaking, Du Xingmin left without turning his head. He had already sent someone to Chang'an Report the news to Li Shimin...

After receiving Li Shimin's order, Li Ji took 20,000 troops to Qizhou to suppress the rebellion, but before the army arrived in Qizhou, he got the news that Li You was **** by soldiers, and then Li Shimin asked him to lead the army back to Chang'an. Just leave some soldiers and hand them over to Liu Dewei, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who went to Qizhou to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Li You's rebellion turned into a farce before it started, but this incident still shocked the government and the public, and Li You's power in the court was also trembling. karma.

On this day, Li Shimin was preparing to go to the East Palace to visit the sick Li Chengqian. Because of Li You's incident, Li Shimin hadn't eaten for a few days, and he himself was ill. When he recovered, he got the news that the prince Li Chengqian was ill. I have come to report several times.

He was just about to go out when Changsun Wuji walked over with a dead gray face and said, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Li Shimin sensed the strangeness of Changsun Wuji, his complexion was even uglier than when Li You conspired against him, "The crown prince is sick, I am going to visit him in the East Palace."

The pallor on his face deepened instantly, Changsun Wuji reached out his hand to stop Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, you can't go!"

"Why?" Li Shimin asked strangely.

Sighing deeply, Changsun Wuji really couldn't bear to tell Li Shimin the news that Liu Dewei had just delivered quickly, but he hesitated for a while and said: "The crown prince and Hou Junji are plotting to force you to Zen, if you go I can't come back."

"What!" Li Shimin felt his world spinning for a while, everything went blank in his mind, his eyes went dark, and then his body went limp and he was about to fall down.

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji was shocked, he immediately supported Li Shimin, and said to the eunuch, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

The **** ran out in a hurry when he heard the words, while Changsun Wuji helped Li Shimin onto the bed.

After a while, Li Shimin woke up slowly, only to feel a heavy sadness in his heart. This kind of sadness even surpassed when he personally killed Li Jiancheng back then. Two sons tried to rebel one after another. This was a blow to him too much up.

"Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin worriedly and said.

"Don't disturb the others, arrest them all, I will interrogate him personally." Li Shimin said as if exhausting all his strength.

"Yes." Changsun Wuji answered yes, then turned and left.

"Wait." Li Shimin shouted again, "Also, call the King of Shu back to Chang'an."

Changsun Wuji understood something, and nodded again.

Li Chengqian of the East Palace did not wait for Li Shimin's arrival. On the contrary, what was waiting was Li Shimin's imperial guards. The dead men brought by Hou Junji couldn't resist these soldiers wearing plate armor, and were quickly slaughtered. Hou Junji was also defeated and captured.

Then, the convoy of the king of Shu entered Chang'an, and many ministers understood that the sky of Tang Dynasty was about to change.

"Father, mother, queen!" In Yanxi Palace, Li Yin saw the haggard Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress with tears on his face. Li Yin did not expect that this historical tragedy would happen after all.

"You know about the rebellion between the crown prince and King Qi!" Li Shimin asked.

... "Yes, father, my son has heard the rumors, I just ask father to take care of your health." Li Yin said.

Li Shimin nodded. He has already investigated the affairs of Li Chengqian and Li You. Speaking of Li Chengqian's rebellion, Li You still made a contribution. Li You planted an assassin in Chang'an. Li Shimin attacked Li Tai during the Northern Expedition, but when people were dumbfounded, this assassin not only worked for Li You, but also worked for the Eastern Palace. After being involved, the matter of Li Chengqian and Hou Junji was revealed, which made the matter of Li Chengqian's rebellion known to the world.

"Well, you don't have to worry about father's health." Li Shimin sighed.

Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Li Yin felt a little guilty and said: "Father, is it because the change of the crown prince made the crown prince take such a risk?"

"It's none of your business, this rebellious son, he already had the idea of ​​treason." Li Shimin said bitterly, but at the same time, he felt extremely regretful. In prison, Li Chengqian pushed all his faults to He said that if it weren't for the Xuanwu Gate incident that he had done back then, the other princes would not have had the idea that the prince was a contender, and this sentence made him even more sad.

Li Yin glanced at Empress Changsun and said, "Father, what do you plan to do with the crown prince and Li You?"

Speaking of this matter, both Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at Li Yin. In fact, this is also the reason why they asked Li Yin to come to Chang'an. They hoped that Li Yin could express their thoughts. After all, after experiencing this incident, Li Yin must be the prince. , and will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, how will he treat Li Chengqian at that time.

Looking at the expectant eyes of Empress Changsun, Li Yin sighed in his heart. In history, Li Shimin did not kill Li Chengqian after all, but dismissed him as a common man. It can be seen that Li Shimin still loves Li Chengqian very much, and Li Yin also I promised Li Shimin not to kill any of his brothers, so it is better to give a favor at this time, so that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun can feel at ease.

"The prince's crime of treason should be punished according to the law, but after all, he was also instigated by villains, so I thought it was enough to dismiss him as a commoner." The villain in Li Yin's mouth naturally refers to Hou Junji, Someone has to take the blame for this matter.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun felt relieved when they heard the words. Li Chengqian was also their first son, so how could they have the heart to kill their own son! r1152
