The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Tai'an Palace

"You traitor! what do you want to do!"

Li Yuan, who was resting in the palace, was pulled out of bed by Li Shimin who suddenly arrived. He was immediately shocked and angry, and shouted angrily.

But he was stunned immediately because he saw Li Shimin's face was full of panic and his clothes were disheveled. He looked embarrassed, accompanied by several guards bathed in blood.

"Could it be that Zi Guan entered Chang'an?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but think with surprise.

He had already lost all confidence in Li Shimin, and now the only thing he missed was Li Changqing. Every day he thought about when Li Changqing would enter Chang'an to kill Li Shimin, the traitor. Then he could directly kill Li Shimin. The throne was passed to him.

Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Li Shimin couldn't guess what he was thinking. He held back his annoyance and sneered:"I'm afraid I will disappoint my father. The one who entered the palace was not that bitch Li Changqing, but yours." Good minister Li Xiaochang!"

"Xiao Chang? How could he……"

Li Yuan's expression changed. Although he knew that King Yi'an Li Xiaochang had always been loyal to him, he obviously did not expect that the latter would actually lead troops into the palace to rescue him.

"take away!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and waved to the guards to escort Li Yuan to the front hall.

Just when they arrived at the front hall, Li Xiaochang also arrived with 5,000 soldiers. The

5,000 elite soldiers surrounded the hall. And Li Shimin only has dozens of guards here.

"The traitor Li Shimin! This king will kill you here today! If you give up your resistance, I can still leave your body intact!"

A middle-aged man with a burly stature and a resolute face stood up and said coldly to Li Shimin, it was Li Xiaochang, King of Ngai An.

Surrounded by five thousand elite soldiers, Li Shimin had no choice but to retreat, but there was no sign of any trace of anger on his face. Instead of a panicked expression, he had a faint smile and said:"I really admire King Ngai An's loyalty to his father, and even dared to launch a mutiny."

"Stop talking nonsense, how dare you, a false emperor, call yourself me? Let your majesty go quickly! Do you think that you are a hero like King Wu who can fight your way out of the siege of five thousand elite soldiers like me?"

Li Xiaochang snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.

When Li Changqing was mentioned, Li Shimin's smile disappeared, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he sneered:"I don't think I am the false emperor, but King Yi'an, you see Look who is this?"

As he spoke, he turned sideways, revealing Li Yuan who was being held behind him by two guards and unable to move.

The latter looked at Li Shimin with eyes filled with monstrous anger, but his mouth was blocked and he could not speak.

Li Xiaochang His expression changed drastically, and he blurted out:"Your Majesty!"

Just as he was about to step forward, he saw Li Shimin pull out the guard's knife with his backhand and put it on Li Yuan's neck.

"What are you going to do! Li

Xiaochang was horrified, stopped quickly, and shouted to Li Shimin,"You have killed your brother and imprisoned your father!" Now, do you still want to gain the notoriety of patricide? You are being treasonous!

"The real treasonous ones are you!"

Li Shimin shouted loudly, Bing's eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Li Xiaochang

"I am the emperor! You, Li Xiaochang, are not even a clan member. What qualifications do you have to send troops to force the palace? You are the traitor!"

Although Li Shimin usurped the throne, he is Li Yuan's best son after all. Now he has a good imperial aura, which makes Li Xiaochang involuntarily take a step back.

"Whoever dares to act rashly will be killed by me! By then you will all be the culprits of regicide!"

Li Shimin said expressionlessly, and the hand holding the knife did not tremble at all, leaving no doubt about the authenticity of his words.

Li Xiaochang was really frightened by Li Shimin's words, if Li Yuan really died because of him , then he is really a sinner. What is the meaning of launching a mutiny today?

But now, the puppet emperor, will he miss this thousand-year opportunity?

Li Xiaochang fell into hesitation and struggle.

Although Li Shimin looked calm and composed, in fact, he I'm also very anxious

"Nearly half an hour has passed now! Are the Xuanjia Army really a bunch of losers? Why don't you come to rescue me?"

Li Shimin was very angry. The Xuanjia Army was stationed not far outside the palace. They should have rushed over immediately when they saw the movement in the palace. But now what's the point of the delay?

"Did they also betray me?"

Such an idea suddenly flashed through Li Shimin's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

He suddenly remembered that among the three hundred people he ordered to be killed that day, there seemed to be family members of the Xuanjia Army, and that day the king Bodang also tried to remonstrate with him, but he was too angry and ignored him.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly panicked. If even the Xuanjia Army betrayed him, what would he have left?

Both parties had their own agendas, so After a stalemate like this for about a quarter of an hour, there was a sudden cry of killing Zhentian outside Tai'an Palace. A bodyguard hurried in and reported to Li Xiaochang:

"Your Majesty, tens of thousands of Xuanjia troops are surrounding Tai'an Palace, and our people can hardly resist it!"

"The Xuanjia Army is coming?"

Li Xiaochang suddenly changed his expression. Although the Xuanjia Army is not as good as Li Changqing's cavalry, it is still a king's division. It is also a first-class elite, and there are many people. It is not comparable to his five thousand personal soldiers.

There is Li Shimin holding Li Yuanrang hostage. He threw himself into the trap, and there were tens of thousands of Xuanjia troops outside. If he continued to stay, he would definitely die here.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiaochang glanced at Li Shimin unwillingly, bowed to Li Yuan, and said sadly:"Xiao Chang is incompetent.! Failed to save His Majesty from danger! Xiaochang will definitely join King Wu in counterattacking Chang'an one day and welcome His Majesty back to the throne!"

After saying that, he stood up and led his guards past Li Shimin and others, and left Tai'an Palace together. The huge hall soon became empty, with only Li Shimin and others surviving the disaster remaining.

And just behind Li Xiaochang Not long after he led the people away, Wang Bodang also led many soldiers of the Xuanjia Army to arrive.

When he saw Li Shimin clamping the knife on Li Yuan's neck, he couldn't help but be stunned, then knelt down and said:"The general's rescue is too late! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

The arrival of many officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army finally made Li Shimin feel at ease. His mind suddenly relaxed. The Mo Dao in his hand fell to the ground. Several guards also let go of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan pulled off the cloth in his mouth, Then he slapped Li Shimin on the face, causing the latter to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

"You actually threatened Xiao Chang with my life? I...I really gave birth to a good son! Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Yuan laughed angrily, pointing at Li Shimin with a trembling hand, and tears fell down his face.

Li Shimin's eyes flickered. He knew he was in the wrong, so he accepted Li Yuan's slap abruptly and just waved to the guards to take Li Yuan away.

After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin raised his head and found that Wang Bodang and many Xuanjia Army officers were looking at him with strange eyes.

These glances were like needles piercing his heart. He became angry and said:"Why are you still standing there! Chase after me! Kill the traitor Li Xiaochang!""

"yes!"

Wang Bodang agreed with his hands, and then stood up and led many soldiers to pursue Li Xiaochang._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
