  Chapter 38 Forced palace

  Qin Lang, wearing armor, led Qin Yong, Ah Huang, Wei Chang, Liu Jiu, Lin San, Zhang Cheng, and Li Kai through the Hongyi Gate to the Hongyi Palace.

The three-layer armor on his body was very heavy, and it was very hot. Qin Lang felt his whole body was sticky with sweat. At this time, what he wanted most was to take off the armor and jump into the river to take a good bath, but the princess had summoned him, so he didn't dare to accept it. Violation.

  Pressing the horizontal knife handle of Guisheath with his right hand, he felt a little calmer in his heart.

   "Sanlang, have we succeeded?" Zhang Cheng of the Wuhou team asked Qin Lang in a low voice. He was dragged into the rebel team in a daze in the morning. At that time, he was actually a little unwilling to wade into this muddy water, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who would have thought that it would be a success.

   "Well, the overall situation has been settled, and the rest is to deal with the aftermath."

  Northern ranger Lin San couldn't help asking, "Then what reward can we get?"

  Qin Lang was actually very excited in his heart. He didn't think about it just now, but now that he finally stopped, he couldn't help thinking about it. Fame and wealth are definitely indispensable.

  At least after this battle, the Qin family in Qinrenfang can guarantee wealth for thirty years.

   "Official meritorious service, money and land will certainly not be missing." Qin Lang said with a smile.

   "Brother Jiu, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Liu Jiu was silent, Lin San asked.

   "I was wondering if Princess Qin is pretty!"

  Qin Lang glared at him angrily.

   "My surname is Qin, can you keep what you promised us?"

   "Of course you can, you will be free without losing your wealth."

  The eight people followed Du Ruhui to the front of the hall, everyone stopped and tidied up.

  In the palace, a group of women and children, and many court ladies.

  When Qin Lang heard from Du Ruhui that the person wearing fish-scale fine armor, a red turban, and a bow and crossbow around his waist was actually the eldest grandson of Princess Qin, he was very surprised.

In his impression, Princess Changsun will become a generation of virtuous queens in history. Such a woman should be gentle and intellectual, but looking at it now, she looks more like a heroic female general. If someone tells him that this is He will believe in the late Princess Pingyang Zhao.

   "You are Shubao's son Qin Sanlang, right? The concubine took Chengqian with me and all the women, children, and children of the Qin Palace thanked Saburo." After saying that, Princess Qin saluted him.

   "Don't dare to act, dare not act." Qin Lang quickly stepped aside.

  Chengqian also came up to thank him, "You retreated the rebel army as soon as you came, so majestic."

Qin Lang looked at this Prince Qin's son, who was only eight years old. He was very cute, with bright eyes and delicate features. waste.

   "I don't have prestige, it's just a fox pretending to be a tiger, borrowing the majesty's prestige, the real prestige is the majesty, the son, your father."

  ·······

  On the outskirts of Chang'an, Daying in Weishui.

  Qin Qiong saw the beacon fire in Chang'an and ordered the generals to be summoned.

"The beacon fire in Chang'an must have caused a major emergency. As soldiers of the imperial court, we must rescue. The commander-in-chief Qi Wang is not in the camp, and the king of Yanjun is still far away in Binzhou. From now on, I will take over temporarily. Military affairs. Here is an order from my general, the whole army will pull out the camp and guard Chang'an!"

   Several princeling generals expressed their opposition.

   "The situation is unclear now, there is no order from His Majesty and the Central Committee, and we have neither a transfer order nor a military amulet. How dare we enter Chang'an?"

   "Follow the power in a hurry, if it is held accountable afterwards, I, Qin Qiong, will bear it alone."

   "There is no imperial decree and military amulet, please forgive the last general for not being able to follow orders!"

  Qin Qiong sneered a few times.

   "This is a military camp. I am now the supreme commander. You must follow my military orders, otherwise you will follow the military law."

   "Qin Qiong, you are such a powerful official. Who recognizes you as the coach? Do you have the imperial court's orders?"

  Qin Qiong slapped the table with a palm, "Come here!"

   Suddenly a group of Qin Qiong guards rushed in.

   "Those who dare to disobey the military order will be taken down, locked up, and awaiting punishment."

   "Qin Qiong, you are so brave!"

  Qin Qiong drew his sword and beheaded the general with one blow.

  The head fell to the ground and rolled.

  All the princeling generals who were still agitated just now fell silent.

   "Lock them up."

   "Who has any objections?"

  Qin Qiong glanced over, but no one dared to look at him and resist.

   "Okay, since there are no more objections, then immediately send an order to leave the camp!"

  ·······

  Taiji Palace, on Haichi.

  In the dragon boat, the emperor Li Yuan was wrapped in a thin quilt, sitting there in a daze.

  At this moment, His Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Emperor was extremely sad. The dignified emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, has now become a prisoner and is under house arrest on this dragon boat, isolated from the outside world.

  The person who rebelled against him turned out to be his own son.

In the past, he always looked down on his cousin Yang Guang, thinking that he had lost the Great Sui Dynasty, and was finally usurped and killed by his courtiers, but now it seems that he is not even as good as Yang Guang. May be regicide and patricide by his son.

  An emperor who was so downcast that he couldn't even wear a dragon robe, he could only wrap himself in a thin quilt.

  After all, I was still too soft-hearted and too indecisive, and I have been unable to be cruel for a long time, which is why today's disaster happened. If I had been able to be more ruthless two years earlier, and had abolished Shimin, I would not be where I am today.

  A dragon boat approaches.

  Changsun Wuji stood at the bow of the boat.

  Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji met eyes and nodded to each other.

  The two boats approached slowly.

   "I brought a few prime ministers and they are on the boat. Is Your Majesty okay?"

  Hou Junji smiled, "Sitting in the boat has been silent."

   "As long as people are fine, don't worry about other things." Changsun Wuji said.

Pei Ji, Feng Deyi, Yang Gongren, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi, and a group of prime ministers were 'helped' out of the cabin by the guards of the Qin Palace, and Changsun Wuji cupped his hands, "Your Majesty is in the dragon boat at this moment, please invite the prime ministers to meet you." .”

  Pei Ji remained silent, and neither did the other prime ministers.

Today Fang Xuanling led Duan Zhixuan and other generals to raid the imperial city, took advantage of the opening of the imperial city gate, directly entered the imperial city, and then took control of the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors and sixteen guard mansions. They robbed the seals of the three provinces, He also wounded the guards of the prime ministers, and finally controlled them and brought them to the palace by force.

   After being frightened for a long time, who can be in a good mood.

  In the dragon boat.

  The emperor meets with the chancellors.

   Originally, the plan was to have a joint trial of the King of Qin in the Linhu Palace today, but who would have expected that the King of Qin would bring them here together in the end.

  Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji both withdrew from the dragon boat, and they stayed outside.

  Only the emperor and a few prime ministers were left in the dragon boat.

   After a long time, Li Yuan spoke.

   "You have all seen what happened today, the reverse uterine change, heinous, how do you say to deal with it?"

  The prime ministers couldn't help but wry smiles in their hearts. Now that everyone is fish on King Qin's chopping board, what else can they do with it.

Pei Ji is Zuo Pushe, the actual head of all the officials, and also the emperor's most trusted courtier. He has already seen clearly and clearly thought through this journey. It was a very obvious palace change, and the initiator was His Royal Highness King Qin.

  Feng Deyi was thinking at this time, the King of Qin suddenly launched an attack, and the emperor and Zai Zhi fell under the control of the King of Qin. Now he does not know what is going on with the prince and King Qi, and the only hope is there. After all, although the king of Qin has been in battle for a long time, the prince has been running Chang'an for a longer time and has stronger influence in the capital.

  If the prince and the king of Qi lead troops to rescue the king, it is still unknown who will win the battle.

   But the situation is unclear now, Feng Deyi doesn't want to say these things, if the prince and the others fail, and the king of Qin will sit on the throne in the future, then if he says these things, it will be bad for his future.

Li Yuan couldn't help but said to these old guys, "I believe that Jiancheng and Yuanji will not sit back and watch this rebellious son disobey. They must have already mobilized soldiers and horses to rescue him. Tell me, after the Jingchao, how will I deal with the second son?" ? Flow or kill?"

  Li Yuan is really murderous at this moment. In the past, he couldn't bear to kill Shimin, but now if he has a knife in his hand, he would like to chop off the second child himself.

  The prime ministers remained silent, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.

   "Are you dumb when you talk?" Li Yuan said angrily.

Chen Shuda stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is usually extravagant and dissipated, rebelling against the law, but now he intends to assassinate the king of Qin and other pillars of the country and shake the great cause of the country. I ask your majesty to issue an imperial edict to seize the throne of Jiancheng. Abandoned as a commoner, and ordered Qin King to be established as a prince with the merits of founding the country!"

  As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became more dull.

Even Yuwen Shi and this Qin Wang party were very surprised. Originally, according to his plan with Fang Xuanling just now, he, the Qin Wang party, also went on the dragon boat. He wanted to propose to the emperor at a critical moment, asking the emperor to abdicate and pass the throne to Qin Wang Li Shimin of.

  Unexpectedly, Chen Shuda proposed to abolish Jianshimin as the prince.

   In this way, it was difficult for Yuwen Shiji to propose the Zen position directly, so he pushed the boat along the way and proposed Li Shimin as the prince.

Xiao Yu over there was originally a prime minister who was close to Li Shimin, and said at the moment, "Your Majesty, I have always held this proposal, but Your Majesty has always refused. Now it seems that if Your Majesty had followed my proposal earlier, there would be no such thing as today. disaster."

   This afterthought made Li Yuan even more angry.

Li Yuan was already furious, but these words made him even more embarrassed, "Xiao Yu, you mean that I didn't accept your proposal, and that's why I'm in trouble today? From my point of view, it's not like you were the one who separated my father and son." Family love, secretly fanning the flames? I, I grant you to commit suicide!"

  Li Yuan was so angry that he even said the words of giving the Prime Minister suicide.

Feng Deyi looked left and right, and he also understood that Chen Shuda, Yuwen Shiji, and Xiao Yu were all pro-Qin kings, and now they are all clamoring to change Shimin as the prince. , I believe that the country is not in peace, the country is not stable, and not making King Qin the prince is not enough to calm the government and stabilize people's hearts. Your Majesty should make a decisive decision, make King Qin the heir, and entrust the general and general affairs to King Qin, so as to stabilize the world."

   "I have fought a hundred battles to found a country, and I am a hero. How can I let others force me to do things with a knife on my neck?"

   Gradually, Li Yuan faced the persuasion of the six prime ministers to change the reserve by himself. His voice became louder and louder, but he still refused to listen to the persuasion.

  The boat shook violently, and the monarchs and ministers shut up.

   I saw another dragon boat approaching, and a warrior in iron armor and holding a horse jumped out of the boat.

  This person has a full beard and a dark complexion, but he is Yuchi Jingde, the fierce general of Qin Palace.

   "Yuchi Jingde, how dare you commit crimes?"

   "Long live Your Majesty, please forgive me for the inconvenience of saluting in armor. Prince Jian Jiancheng and King Qi Yuanji plotted against him for rebellion, and they have now been put to death at Xuanwu Gate. The King of Qin specially ordered ministers to come to protect His Majesty and the ministers."

  Yuchi Jingde stood there and yelled loudly, but there were still wet blood stains on his body, which made Li Yuan's face ashen.

   "You mean Jiancheng and Yuanji?"

   "All have been put to death, and now the Donggong and Qifu rebels are fleeing in Beijing, please send down your majesty's order!"

   "Decree, what is the decree?" Li Yuan roared, "Jiangcheng, the benevolence of a father and a woman will eventually harm you!"

  Li Yuan burst into tears and ignored Yuchi Jingde at all.

  When Chen Shuda saw this, he had to say, "Yu Chigong, you immediately go and deliver the imperial decree to the King of Qin.

"Admiral Tiance, Taiwei, Situ, Shangshuling, Zhongshuling, and Qin Wang Li Shimin are the crown princes, and they will immediately enter the East Palace to supervise the country and regent. From now on, all military affairs and state affairs, the princes of the three provincial committees, will come here. "

   After Chen Shuda finished speaking, he turned his head and shot Pei Ji at Shangshu Zuopu, "What do you think, Prime Minister Pei?"

  Pei Ji is also completely disheartened now, knowing that the overall situation has been settled and no one can stop King Qin from seizing power, so he can only nod his head with difficulty.

  Chen Shuda asked the other prime ministers separately, and Feng Deyi and Yang Gongren had no objection, as for Xiao Yu, Yuwen Shi and of course they were more in favor.

  Things have been like this, and it can only be like this.

  If the emperor is allowed to continue to entangle, maybe the emperor may die suddenly today, and those prime ministers who used to stand on the prince's side may not be able to get off this dragon boat.

  In Linhu Hall, Li Shimin, who had been pacing and circling, finally waited for Yu Chigong who had returned from the Holy Face.

   Originally, he was supposed to go to the Dragon Boat Festival in person, but he still couldn't face his father in the end.

"How about it?"

   "Your Majesty is no longer able to govern. After the discussions among the ministers, Jian Jian was abolished and became a commoner. His Highness is planned to be the crown prince. He will immediately enter the East Palace to supervise the country and regent. All military and state affairs, and the princes of the three provincial committees."

  Hearing this result, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief.

   "Is Your Majesty okay?"

   "Your Majesty is crying." Yuchi Jingde replied.

  Li Shimin looked complicated, but he quickly dismissed those thoughts.

   "Immediately ask Prime Minister Yuwen Shiji to come out to the various government offices in the imperial city to announce the imperial edict, let Feng Deyi go to the East Palace to appease the Jiancheng old department, and let Yang Gongren go to the Qi mansion to appease the Yuanji old department."

   After a pause, Li Shimin said again, "Ren Yuwenshi and he are Prince Zhan Shi, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui are the prince's left concubine sons, Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian are the prince's right concubine sons."

   "Let Yu Chigong be the prince's left guard, and Cheng Yaojin be the prince's right guard."

  After thinking for a while, "Make Qin Qiong the general of the left guard, and immediately lead the Weishui battalion to garrison outside Chang'an City."

   "Take Hou Junji as General Zuo Wuhou, and assist General Zuo Wuhou Liu Hongji to be in charge of patrolling the Chang'an imperial city and outer city."
