Ten minutes ago.
Li Er, who had been shot in the shoulder, rushed into the palace under the escort of Zhangsun Wuji and the others. Blood flowed everywhere. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to scare people.
"Imperial physician, call the imperial physician immediately, quickly…"
Hou Junji was the most nervous of them all, but Zhangsun Wuji stopped him."The news of His Highness the King of Qin being injured should not be spread. Quickly bring people to the Imperial Academy of Medicine and heavily guard it. In addition, Zhang Gongjin, Gao Shilian, and the others will change the guards of the Imperial Army in the city. At the same time, keep an eye on the three palaces, nine gates, and sixteen yards, especially the Eastern Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave before the situation is stable!”
"Everything will be arranged by the auxiliary engine."
Li Er hadn't fainted yet. He had rolled out from the battlefield. This bit of injury was nothing. He gritted his teeth and said,"Imperial Father left everything to the auxiliary machinery, the mystic unit, and the others. Now that the court was in chaos, they must not let the Crown Prince's people seize the opportunity.”
"What about the Eastern Palace?" Hou Junji stared blankly.
"Take him into custody for the time being."
The group quickly split up. Li Er headed straight for the Imperial Academy of Medicine, while Hou Junji rode his horse to meet up with Zhang Gongjin and the others.
After Zhangsun Wuji settled everything down, he quickly headed in the direction of Taiji Palace.
The sky gradually brightened.
The news of the coup of Xuanwu Gate had already spread through the streets and alleys. Chang 'an was on guard against a great enemy. Every household was locked in their homes, and the number of imperial guards patrolling the city had doubled.
However, the people who were originally supporting the Crown Prince were all killed and imprisoned.
The palace gates were heavily guarded, and it was the morning court session. Zhang Gongjin, Hou Junji, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others were all imprisoned inside.
An unprecedented sense of oppression spread throughout the vast An City.
At this moment, in Taiji Palace.
" Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of the crafty sycophants. His Highness the Crown Prince has received the emperor's orders and has poured out all his wealth to help the poor. This old minister can guarantee with his life that His Highness the Crown Prince will never do anything like raising an army to rebel…"
"I agree. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince must have been wronged by others…"
"This lowly official was originally a subordinate of Dou Jiande in his early years and was appreciated by His Highness the Crown Prince, which was why I have today. His Highness is kind-hearted and will definitely not do such disloyal and unfilial things!”
In the huge court, the civil and military officials were noisy.
Li Fei, who was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, did not speak from the beginning to the end. His expression was dark as he supported his cheek with one hand. His cold eyes swept across everyone's faces.
The entire scene was tense.
The grudge between the Tang Dynasty and Qin Wang's faction finally erupted at this moment.
Outside the palace gate, Zhangsun Wuji strode over with swift and decisive steps. He held a bloody cloth bag in one hand and raised his head."It's His Majesty's grace that you can have today. Without His Majesty, how could the Crown Prince be? His Highness the Crown Prince did not care about the Emperor's kindness and did not care about their brotherhood. He incited the King of Qi to send troops to kill the King of Qin and threaten the Emperor. Fortunately, the King of Qin had already noticed it, so he intercepted him…"
As he spoke, he raised the bloody bag with both hands."Your Majesty, this is the head of King Qi!”
"What?"
"This…this…"
In an instant, the entire place exploded.
Zhangsun Wuji was forcing him to abdicate. Li Jianfei had run away, and he was guarding both inside and outside the palace. Now, not to mention the officials, even Li Fei's Imperial Army had become Li Er's.
It could be said that the entire situation was almost one-sided in favor of Li Shijie.
Now, he was directly holding Li Yuanji's head to intimidate him.
The officials were shocked, and Li Fei suddenly trembled.""You…How dare you? Where is the King of Qin? Get him to come out and see me!”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the King of Qin has led three thousand elites to pursue the Crown Prince. He vowed to take the Crown Prince's head.”
Zhangsun Wuji was playing a psychological trick.
Apart from them, no one knew about Li Shijie's injury. In addition, Li Jianfei had run away. What they needed the most now was what they wanted.
The emperor was not important, nor was power important. What was important was the stance of these officials.
He wanted to cut off the hearts of those who still supported Li Jianfei. As long as Li Jianfei returned a second later, they would have another second of hope for victory.
A political battle, a battle of deceiving the superiors and deceiving the subordinates!
"Zhangsun Wuji, you killed the prince, framed the crown prince, bewitched the ministers, and threatened His Majesty. Are you trying to rebel?”
The first to step forward was Wei Hu, who was in his forties and had a dark beard. He suddenly pointed at Zhangsun Wuji and glanced at Li Fei."His Highness the Crown Prince would never rebel. I have advised the Crown Prince many times to be wary of the King of Qin. However, even when the King of Qin had evil intentions and wanted to be the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince had even wanted to give up the position of the Eastern Palace many times in order not to hurt his brotherly relationship. Now your grandson Wuji is slandering the prince in this letter. Your Majesty, I believe that the King of Qin planned everything today!”
"Enough!"
The gloomy Li Fei slowly stood up and roared,""Pass down my decree, ordering the King of Qin to return to the palace quickly. Also, from now on, anyone who dares to harm the Crown Prince will be punished for treason and their entire family will be executed!”
"Your Majesty…"
"Your Majesty…"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Huiling, Du Ruheyuan, Hou Junji, and the others clasped their hands and bowed.
However, no one moved.
In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded.
What did he mean? It was obvious that Li Fei had become a figurehead.
Li Fei was stunned for a moment. He widened his eyes and roared,"Are you going to disobey the imperial edict? Good! Good! Then, he roared outside the shop,""Where is the Imperial Army? Where is the Imperial Army? Someone come!" The women of the Tianxun tribe were very happy. She just needed help. Suddenly, she noticed that Qin Feng was only on the second floor of Tong Yuan. She was disappointed again. She thought that she had met her savior, but she was only a level-two soldier from Tongyuan.
When the four members of Fengying's family saw that Qin Feng was the only one, they heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were only second-grade soldiers from Tongyuan, so they were not a threat.
One of them saw it and snorted coldly, saying,"Child, you are really unlucky. It's your misfortune to see us today!”
Hearing this, Qin Feng waved his hand and said,"What? You hit me? I…"
I won't disturb you, you can continue. Qin Feng walked to the tree and tried to pluck the fruit.
At this moment, the Fengying men and women of the Tianxun tribe were fighting each other. When they saw Qin Feng, they were shocked.
