Li Chengqian walked out of the Lingyan Pavilion and saw that it was surrounded by people. They were all soldiers from the army.
The guards that Li Shi Min had arranged outside the Lingyan Pavilion had all been killed in a pool of blood.
At this moment, the sun had already set. The enemy soldiers each held a torch in their hands, and their aura was oppressive, making people shudder.
Li Shi Min and Princess Zhangsun followed closely behind.
Seeing the general, Li Shi Min frowned and asked,"
"Li Xiaogong, what are you doing here?”
"Hahahahaha, Li Shi Min, I'm here to exterminate the rebels and calm the unrest!”
Li Xiaogong laughed wildly. Seeing that there were only Li Shiming and his family, and that the other generals were not present, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
Li Xiaogong's father was Li Yuan's cousin. After Li Yuan raised his army, he was in charge of managing Bashu.
He destroyed Xiao Xi and Fu Gongyou, and the south of the Yangtze River was under his command. His military achievements could almost compete with Li Shimin.
Not long ago, Li Yuan had a premonition that the conflict between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng was about to break out, so he quietly recalled Li Xiaogong back to Chang 'an.
Today, Li Shimin had killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, clearing the obstacles to the throne. He would then make his move on Li Yuan.
Everyone was extremely obsessed with power. Who would be willing to give up the throne to someone else?
Li Yuan had risked his life and spent a lot of effort to sit on the throne. He had just enjoyed the joy of being an emperor. How could he give the throne to Li Shimin so easily?
Many people in history said that Li Yuan could not bear to kill Li Shiming because he had already lost two sons. If he killed Li Shiming, the Great Tang would have no successor, so he chose to abdicate.
This kind of saying was actually nonsense. Born in an emperor's family, how could there be any father-son relationship?
In the history of the Huaxia Empire, there were too many examples of emperors killing their sons.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, did not hesitate to execute his crown prince, Liu Ju, in order to protect his throne.
Although Liu Ju had committed suicide, it would have been a piece of cake for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to save him.
If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had not wanted to kill Liu Ju, how could Liu Ju have died?
Moreover, the truth was very likely that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had personally killed Liu Ju and then publicly announced that Liu Ju had committed suicide to avoid punishment.
Otherwise, other than Liu Bing, who was lucky enough to survive, why were all of Liu Ju's sons executed?
Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that Liu Ju was the only suitable heir to the throne, if Liu Ju died, the Great Han Dynasty would very likely be in turmoil.
However, in order to protect his throne, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mercilessly executed Liu Ju, resulting in Huo Guang usurping power a few years later.
The current Li Yuan was like the former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In order to protect his throne, even his own son would be executed.
Even though he knew that if his son died, it would be difficult to find a suitable heir to the throne, this could not stop Li Yuan's determination to protect his throne.
Even if Li Shiming died, even if all three of Li Yuan's sons died, Li Yuan still had a grandson, and he could still have more sons.
As long as Li Yuan himself was alive, the Great Tang would not be cut off.
Out of this mentality, Li Yuan sent Li Xiaogong tonight to protect Li Shiming while his capable men were not around. He took this opportunity to execute Li Shiming.
This way, Li Yuan could keep the throne.
Li Xiaogong was also very happy to do so. If Li Shiming died, the Great Tang would have no successor. As the second founding hero of the Great Tang, he could easily play with the imperial power.
Every politician had their own selfish motives and ambitions, and Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong were the same.
Li Shi Min looked at the army in front of him and frowned.
Although Li Xiaogong's martial strength was not comparable to Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin, he could not be underestimated. At least Li Shimin was definitely not Li Xiaogong's opponent.
Moreover, Li Xiaogong had brought so many people with him, so Li Shiming would definitely not be able to escape even if he had wings.
If there was no God protecting him tonight, he would probably die here.
He had never expected that his father, Li Yuan, would ally with Li Xiaogong to make such a drastic move. It was really unexpected for Li Shimin.
"Who are you calling a rebel?"
At this time, Li Chengqian had already walked in front of Li Xiaogong and asked him indifferently.
Li Xiaogong rode a tall horse with an imposing aura. Li Chengqian was originally a little brat. In Li Xiaogong's eyes, he was like an ant.
Li Shiming then realized that Li Chengqian had actually walked in front of Li Xiaogong. This made Li Shiming extremely angry. Wasn't Li Chengqian just causing trouble?
"Chengqian, come back quickly!”
Li Shi Min hurriedly scolded Li Cheng Qian.
"Royal Father, didn't I say it before? It wasn't the God who saved you, it was me!”
Li Chengqian did not turn his head and said in a dignified and domineering manner.
Although he was short, Li Shiming felt like he was a mountain when he looked at his back.
"Hahahahaha, Li Shi Min, you coward! You dare not fight me, and you actually sent your eight-year-old son to die?”
Li Xiaogong let out a wild laugh, and the surrounding soldiers also laughed out loud.
Being humiliated like this, Li Shi Min's face turned green, and he really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Let me remind you, villains die from talking too much. Stop talking nonsense and quickly make your move. Let me see how powerful the Tang generals are.”
Li Chengqian urged in a bad mood.
He could have punched Li Xiaogong to death without saying anything.
However, in order to create an atmosphere and create a strong contrast before and after, he said more nonsense.
"Hahahahaha, brat, since you're willing to die, then die for me!”
Li Xiaogong did not intend to let Li Chengqian go just because he was a child.
In this era, the roots had to be removed.
If he didn't uproot the other party and kill all their descendants, he would suffer the revenge of the other party's descendants sooner or later. At that time, he would face a bloody disaster.
In the history of the Five Barbarians, such an example was vivid in everyone's mind.
Li Xiaogong was originally worried that he wouldn't be able to find Li Shiming's son after killing him. Now that Li Chengqian had appeared in front of him, how could he let Li Chengqian go?
Li Xiaogong did not hesitate. He picked up the White Tiger Crescent Blade in his hand and slashed at Li Chengqian's head.
