Don't be a prince

"His Royal Highness, the enemies in Chang'an City have been wiped out with the assistance of the generals' families and generals. Only the remnants of the enemies have fled. I believe it will take less than an hour for them all to be arrested and brought to justice!"

Du He said loudly: "What should I do next, please give your Highness the order."

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, pointed to the chaotic outer city of the imperial city, and said, "Kill! Leave a hundred or so captives behind, and kill the rest without pardon! The heads are hung on the execution ground. I want to let other people with ulterior motives see what the end of rebellion is." !"

This... close to [-] heads!

Fang Yiai and Du He secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but did not raise any doubts, turned around and joined the battlefield again.

It was boring to watch, and after ordering people to detain Hou Junji, Li Chengqian also started fighting again.

It doesn't matter how much it is, Li Chengqian has strong confidence in his armor, and his horizontal knife is only in the way of Jin Wuwei's armor.

Seeing some people begging for mercy on their knees, Li Chengqian didn't bother to hear whether he was young or old. Since he participated in the rebellion, don't expect a good end.People always have to take responsibility for their actions and pay the price.He doesn't mind using a rain of blood to wake up those who have ulterior motives for power.

While killing himself, Li Chengqian suddenly felt something abnormal behind him.

A familiar scene!

Giving up the resistance, Li Chengqian rolled to the side without hesitation. After rolling three times, the carp stood up straight and looked at the surprise attacker.

Quan Gai Su Wen!

Even though he covered his face with a black cloth, Li Chengqian still recognized him.

There was no other way, so I just pointed at the stinky virtue of five knives tied to his body. There was no difference between wearing the black cloth and not wearing it.

Slapping the armor on his chest with the horizontal knife in his hand, Li Chengqian sneered and said, "Quan Gai Suwen, you don't know how to use other tricks except sneak attack? Since practicing martial arts alone, especially on the battlefield, the biggest disadvantage is being beaten You sneak attack. Did you see the introduction on the armor? This is left alone to remind myself!"

Quan Gai Su Wen took off his face scarf and showed a smiling face.

I have to say that this guy has quite good genes. He was very handsome when he was white-faced back then, but now with a beard, he looks very masculine.It's just that what you do is a bit contemptuous.

Honglu Temple is nearby, this guy presumably noticed the commotion outside, took advantage of the chaos, picked up five knives, and came over quietly.

The knife in his left hand was changed to an anti-hand grip, and Quan Gai Suwen said: "Where is the sneak attack on the battlefield? As long as it can kill the opponent, even if there is only one tooth left, you have to bite hard. I suppress you, His Royal Highness is not convinced, why not try again today? Since Datang has already attacked Goryeo, don't think that I will hold back this time."

How did this grandson know that the emperor started to attack Goryeo?

There was no time to wonder, because Quan Gai Suwen, who was opposite, had already thrust his knife into the ground, pulled out a dagger, and held it in his mouth.

Reaching out his hand to signal Zhang Yun and others not to come over, Li Chengqian weighed the horizontal knife in his hand, threw it aside, and stretched out his hand towards Yu Tai.

Yu Tai understood and threw the sword in his hand over.Catching the long sword, taking off his visor and throwing it aside, Li Chengqian beckoned to Yuan Gai Suwen.

One-on-one, he is more inclined to use the sword.It's useless to talk too much, and there's no traction. At the moment Quan Gai Su Wen moved, Li Chengqian also moved.

In the previous life, I don’t know which old movie I saw such a sentence: Look at the hand with one sword, and see away with two swords.

Quan Gai Suwen used double sabers, so naturally it depended on his pace.After trying it, Li Chengqian realized that this statement was really reasonable. Basically, as long as he kept paying attention to Quan Gai Suwen's steps, he could resist his stormy attack.

Quan Gai Suwen's sword skills are indeed superb, but seeing the emperor's father fight with him, Li Chengqian also knows how he should deal with it.

Let your two knives scream, I just need to crush it with force.Maybe your knife can hurt me, but your life is gone.

Li Chengqian's game of exchanging injuries for lives reversed the situation almost instantly, forcing Quan Gai Suwen to take a step back, two steps.

If you start to retreat, you will keep retreating. Quan Gai Suwen found sadly that it has become extremely difficult for him to regain the initiative.

After the two knives overlapped to block Li Chengqian's sword, Quan Gai Suwen threw the two knives out without hesitation, forcing Li Chengqian to slash with one sword and dodge the second one at the same time.

In this gap, Quan Gai Suwen had drawn out two more knives, regaining the initiative to attack.He even managed to stab Li Chengqian in the side.Although the waist has nail leaves, it is not the strongest place.With Quan Gai Suwen's powerful and heavy knife, all the cut nail leaves were embedded in the flesh.

This annoyed Li Chengqian, he didn't slap someone in the face when he beat someone, and he didn't cut someone's waist when he was beheaded. If the injury was any worse, he wouldn't even have a chance to receive comfort after the battle.

Quan Gai Suwen, who had regained the initiative, was in control, attacking faster than before, it looked like two knives had turned into a hurricane.

As for the knife in his mouth, he had already spat it out by himself.

The appearance of fighting with a knife in his mouth like this may shock the enemy, but it is obviously superfluous in front of Li Chengqian.Because when he raised his chin and brought his head closer, Li Chengqian would never mind taking the opportunity to give him a bite.

Quan Gai Suwen has five knives, and now, only the last two are left.

However, with lessons learned from the past, Li Chengqian has always locked two numbers in his mind - six and seven.

What is publicized may be the most fake.Those who believe it are really stupid.

Sure enough, just when Li Chengqian gradually returned to control and was about to regain control again, Quan Gai Suwen took a step back instead, and at the same time he slashed with a knife, he also kicked with a foot.On his toes, a little cold light is so obvious.

However, Li Chengqian was already prepared. While stepping back, he slapped his leg armor. Three spike-like sharp blades popped out from the originally smooth leg armor.

Seeing this scene, Quan Gai Suwen could only retract his legs.He wasn't sure if he could keep his leg in the future.If it is scratched by this thing, it will probably be scrapped.

After giving away and receiving, Quan Gai Su Wen's only remaining leg became unbalanced.How could Li Chengqian let go of such an opportunity, the leg he kicked turned into a straddle, and the other leg he lifted hit Quan Gai Su Wen's stomach fiercely.

With just this kick, Quan Gai Su Wen flew up and fell heavily to the ground.

When he came back to his senses, he had already been suppressed by the blades of more than a dozen horizontal knives.

Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Quan Gai Suwen said angrily: "Despicable!"

Taking the horizontal knife, carefully pressed back the spring blade on the calf, locked the spring, just in time to hear Quan Gai Suwen's voice.Li Chengqian said contemptuously: "Who said just now that you use unscrupulous means on the battlefield? You are allowed to hide knives under the soles of your shoes, and I am not allowed to make something on the armor? Quan Gai Suwen, why are you short-track speed skating with your future generations?" Children and grandchildren are the same, can't afford to lose?"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian was not going to entangle Quan Gai Su Wenduo, and waved his hands to signal the soldiers to take him down.

So far, the remaining enemies in the imperial city have basically been wiped out.

Fang Shan, who was also covered in blood, was instructing the court ladies and eunuchs to treat the wounded. At the same time, some court ladies and eunuchs who did not participate in the battle began to deal with the purgatory-like venue in front of Chengtian Gate.

At the beginning, the emperor's blood stained the Xuanwu Gate, but it did not reach the scale of today's battle.Especially under the explosion of gunpowder bombs, the damage caused is much more disgusting than the killing with swords.Many court ladies and eunuchs vomited while dealing with the blood on the ground, and even cleaned up the filth they vomited after vomiting.

It is estimated that the food in the imperial city will save a lot today.

Although he did not experience the battlefield once or twice, Li Chengqian also felt his stomach churn when he saw the details of the scene.

Can't vomit, there are still things to do right now!

Patting Zhang Yun on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said: "Send someone to deliver a letter to the scientific research institute first, so that the queen mother, Qingque and others can feel at ease."

After speaking, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and walked towards Suzaku Gate.

Such a big event happened in the palace, which naturally shocked the whole Chang'an.Ordinary merchants and common people dare not go out, but the nobles are not stupid.

The one under attack is the imperial palace. If you don't show your loyalty at this time, when will you show it?

Therefore, many of the fleeing Wang family were captured by generals of various families, and then escorted to Suzaku's gate.

Courtiers, nobles, and representatives of some Jiangnan families all gathered in front of Suzaku's gate.Every family holds up its own banner so as not to be misunderstood.Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui themselves were also dressed in military uniforms, standing at the gate of Suzaku Gate like door gods, forbidding anyone to enter.

"Old thief Fang! Are you going to rebel? The palace has changed, why don't you let me in to protect His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Old thief Du, since when did you have a set of armor? Save yourself the trouble of killing the enemy and leave it to the old man, you can go and rest!"

...

The voices of scolding and sarcasm one after another disappeared in an instant when Li Chengqian appeared in front of Suzaku's gate, leaving only exclamations.

Although Li Chengqian was covered in blood, fortunately he was wearing a helmet, so his face wasn't covered much.

He wiped his head with a wet towel in his hand, looking as casual as if he had just washed his hair.

However, for everyone outside Suzaku's door, watching a white towel turn red with wiping was too shocking.

Since Xuanwumen, this is the first time that such a large bloodshed has occurred in Chang'an.

Wei Zheng didn't have any shoes on, and his face was covered in soot.He originally thought it was just an ordinary fire, but who would have thought that the palace would undergo major changes immediately following it.

The prince's prophecy is still in my ears, but who would have expected it to come true.

A few steps forward, Wei Zheng didn't bother to bow his hands and salute, and asked directly: "His Royal Highness, are you all right, what happened?"

Li Chengqian saw that the hand towel in his hand had turned completely red, so he took the second one from Zhang Yun, continued to wipe his neck, and said while wiping, "I'm fine, at most, because there is too much blood on my body, I hacked it to death today." There are too many people there, and they may have to be vegetarian for a few days. As for what happened? Wei Zheng, you are the servant, so you brought the ministers, Zuo servant, and representatives of the Jiangnan family to have a look.

Really, in a time of peace and prosperity, it is inevitable to go to war with the outside world. Why is it that my own people in Datang are also thinking about usurping the throne?The Wang family, huh, what a great move, they instigated the Jinwu Guard, and dispatched [-] clansmen to attack the imperial palace.If it hadn't been for Gu Long's preparations, I'm afraid they would really succeed. "

Wang family?

What can be said from the mouth of the crown prince is naturally impossible to be Wang Butcher.

However, 1 people!

It is impossible for the crown prince to capture [-] members of the Wang family, kill them and frame them as blame. If so, then the Wang family really rebelled!

If one of the five surnames is involved, multi-party authentication is bound to be required.Even if the emperor is here, it is the same.

The spokesperson of the Jiangnan family tried hard to suppress the joy and apprehension, walked out of his own camp, and walked in with Wei Zheng.

Not long after, everyone came out with pale faces.The representative of the Gu family in Wuzhong walked two steps and was about to vomit.

Chapter 5 and One: Surrounding Wei and Rescuing Zhao

horrible!They swore it was the first time they had seen such a terrifying scene.

Seeing the behavior of these people, Li Chengqian knew that most of them were from the secret guards and Xuanjia army, collecting heads inside.

Beheading, since the promulgation of the Tang law, has been the cruelest punishment within the scope of the law.The cruelty of this punishment is not aimed at the living, but at the dead.After all, this era pays attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots and burying whole bodies.If you don't have the whole body, you can't even enter the ancestral grave.

For these rebels, Li Chengqian naturally did not intend to return their heads.He is going to build a special cemetery outside Chang'an City, and hang this incident firmly on the pillar of shame in history, just like the couple in front of the grave of a certain anti-golden hero.

Ambition is what everyone has.But when a person, or a group of people, does not hesitate to cause harm to those around them for the sake of ambition, it is unforgivable.

Dai Zhou, the Minister of Dali Temple, is now transferred to Menxia Province by Li Chengqian, and Han Du is the Minister of Dali Temple.

With such a big event happening in Chang'an, Han Du naturally knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage. He didn't need Li Chengqian's order, he had already brought all the people from Dali Temple and waited quietly in front of the palace gate.

Glancing at Han Du, Li Chengqian said, "Han Du, I order you to thoroughly investigate this matter. At the same time, you are allowed to mobilize soldiers from Shizhou and Langzhou to enter Taiyuan to capture the relevant criminals. If you encounter obstacles, you will be killed without mercy! Those who resist in the corner will be punished with a higher crime, and those who voluntarily surrender will be punished with half the crime.

Wei Zheng, who was on the side, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the prince's last words.

Rebellion is not terrible, what is terrible is that the rebels will grab and bite at will, and will drag many people who are not guilty of serious crimes, or who are innocent at all.The bloodshed of Xuanwumen is like this.The same is true for Changsun Jingye and Li Xiaochang who rebelled.

Now that the Wang family is rebelling against each other, once there is a tendency to bite, they don't know how many people will be killed!

Han Du knelt down on one knee and said, "This minister takes orders!"

As a civil servant, it is rare to be able to obtain the power to mobilize the army, and it may be recorded in the history books.So Han Du did the military salute.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Zhao Zian all stood up and brought Han Du into the palace.Only when they are complete can Han Du be given this power.

After taking a look at the generals of each family and the nobles who came to express their opinions, Li Chengqian continued: "The Wang family conspired against the king, and Hou Junji helped the emperor to abuse him, and he has been arrested. All the Jinwu Guards rebelled, and they were lonely because they had guarded the palace for many years. The death penalty is eliminated, and only the whole family is tired, not the three clans."

Although the family is still ruined, everyone knows that the prince is already doing this extrajudicially.In such things as rebellion, even if the participants are punished by the nine clans, the orderer will be accused of cruelty at most, but they may not be able to take back their lives.

Li Jing was also among the honorable people rushing to help the palace. As the highest rank among this group of people, Li Jing took the lead and said: "His Royal Highness, the benevolent heart, the world can learn from it!"

"His Royal Highness, the benevolent heart, the world can learn from it!"...

Accompanied by chaotic praises, the crowd collectively fell short.

Li Chengqian waved his hands irritably and said: "Stop flattering! Dugu Bo, the left servant of the household department, the fires in Shanhefang and Tonghuafang were all caused by Wang's rebellion. In this case, let's advance the treasury money and food for the time being, and resettle the people in the two workshops. Wait until the inspection After the Wang family, I will make up for it."

"Zhou Ze, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, you have three days to find out the officials directly related to the Wang family and list them."

"Zhao Hu, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, the road in front of Chengtian Gate needs to be rebuilt, and the rebuilding of Shanhefang and Tonghuafang requires your participation."

...

After issuing a series of orders, Li Chengqian waved his hands lazily and returned to the imperial city step by step.

Not long after, a group of messengers rushed out of the imperial city and rushed towards Liaodong.

From three or four o'clock in the morning until noon, during this period, because he spent most of the time fighting, even Li Chengqian was exhausted, returned to the East Palace, and after writing a letter to Liaodong reluctantly, he fell asleep on the table caught.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already full of stars, but the candles in the study were all burning, very bright.

The armor on his body was taken off at some point, and the blood stains all over his body disappeared.

Beside the bed, Su Yuan's upper body was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.Even so, one of her hands was still tightly grasping his skirt.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian thought of Wang Zhui's words again.

I really thought that the daughters of your royal family are so fragrant!Marriage is something that is mutual no matter what.Since a woman has given you her whole life, you have to spend your whole life to repay her.

Sacrificing women for political gain is not something to blame in this day and age.However, out of a kind of pride from later generations, Li Chengqian hated these unspoken rules extremely.

He wanted to get up, but Su Yuan was awakened.

Seeing her husband woke up, Su Yuan hurriedly said, "Are you awake, are you hungry? This concubine will ask the kitchen to cook for you."

Li Chengqian nodded, seeing Su Yuan running out excitedly, turned over and walked to the desk.

Now on the desk, there are already some memorials.

Opening one at random and looking at it, Li Chengqian could only sigh and threw the memorial aside.
