Li Shi Min's Fury
At the same time, after Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, he led a few trusted generals into Taiji Palace.
Today, he was not just fighting for the throne. His ultimate goal was still the throne!
Moreover, from the moment he killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, there was no turning back.
Of course, he never thought of turning back.
In Taiji Palace, Li Yuan was dealing with government affairs when Li Shimin barged in with his men.
"Shi Min?"
Hearing the commotion, Li Yuan looked up. However, when he saw Li Shiming, who was covered in armor and a knife, and had blood on his body, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Your son greets Imperial Father."
After seeing Li Yuan, Li Shi Min respectfully bowed.
Li Yuan put down the brush in his hand, stood up, and frowned."Why are you here? What's with the blood on your body? Didn't I summon Jiancheng and Yuanji into the palace today? Where are the two of them?"
The Imperial City was huge, and Taiji Palace was far from the Black Tortoise Sect. Li Shiming had deliberately sealed off the news, so Li Yuan, who was in Taiji Palace, had no idea what was going on.
Even so, Li Yuan felt a strong sense of unease when he saw Li Shiming and the generals around him.
Hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Shiming straightened his body and said expressionlessly,"The Crown Prince and King Qi's plot to frame your son has been exposed. Today, they want to take advantage of the palace to get rid of your son and launch a rebellion.”
"Fortunately, your son was one step ahead of them and killed them. Now, I have come to the palace to protect Imperial Father.”
"Right now, the Imperial City is in chaos. Imperial Father, please hand over your pardon and allow your son to suppress the various armies.”
Li Shi Min's tone was very calm, without any fluctuations.
Li Yuan's vision went black and he almost lost his balance.
He held the table and stared at Li Shimin. His face was pale as he said,"You, you killed Jiancheng and Yuanji?!”
His voice trembled, filled with disbelief.
He had summoned Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin into the palace today to resolve the conflict between the three of them. Who knew that he would hear the bad news of brothers killing each other!
How could he believe that his two sons were trying to force him to abdicate? The real one who was trying to force him to abdicate was Li Shiming, who had led his troops into Taiji Palace!
"You unfilial son!"
Li Yuan's heart was filled with anger. He grabbed the official brush wash on the dragon table and threw it at Li Shiming!
However, Cheng Yaojin, who was standing behind Li Shiming, took a step forward and slapped the brush away. Then, he bowed and said,"Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive. Quickly hand over the pardon to His Highness the King of Qin to suppress the rebellion.”
"Presumptuous! I'm talking to my unfilial son, how can I allow a boorish man like you to interrupt!”
Li Yuan berated loudly, glaring at this fierce general whom he once admired.
Cheng Yaojin frowned and wanted to say something, but Li Shimin raised his hand to stop him. Then he looked up at Li Yuan and said,"Imperial Father, since things have come to this, you should understand in your heart.”
"If Imperial Father does not wish for the elite soldiers of the Great Tang to continue fighting like this, please hand over the Military Pardon Seal and calm the chaos.”
"You-"
Li Yuan looked at Li Shi Min, his heart filled with rage, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew that his son was meticulous in his actions. Since he had chosen to force the abdication, the entire palace must have been under his control. Now that his power had been taken away, his orders could not be sent out of Taiji Palace!
He had asked for the pardon just to suppress the soldiers of the Eastern Palace and King Qi's Mansion, quickly quell the chaos, and control Chang 'an City. Otherwise, Li Shimin was completely capable of making the Imperial City bleed like a river!
And now, they had come to find him just to make him give a clear attitude. If he did not cooperate well, he would probably fall ill in the future and be completely imprisoned. He would never have the chance to leave the palace again!
The general trend was set!
Li Yuan's expression kept changing. Finally, he looked at Li Shi Min with his sharp eyes and said,"I can hand over the commander's seal, but I have one condition! You can't harm Jiancheng and Yuanji's children!”
Li Shi Min sneered and shook his head,""Imperial Father, oh Imperial Father, even now, you're still so biased towards Eldest Brother and Third Brother.”
"Their children are innocent. They are all my grandchildren! He's the blood of the Li family, and also your nephew!
Are you really so heartless that you won't even let the child off!”
Li Yuan roared angrily.
"That's right!"
Li Shi Min's face was cold as he said in a cold tone,"If you don't get rid of the roots, it will only increase the disaster! This is what you taught me, Imperial Father!"
"I've already sent my men to King Qi's Mansion and the Eastern Palace. It's too late to say anything now!”
Hearing Li Shi Min's words, Li Yuan's face turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked as if he had aged by decades. He fell back onto the throne weakly, tears streaming down his cheeks. He smiled bitterly and said,
" Brothers killing each other…Is this the punishment from the heavens for my Li family to seize the Sui Dynasty…"
Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Li Shiming couldn't help but feel a little guilty. However, he quickly extinguished this unnecessary emotion and prepared to go straight to the commander's seal.
However, at this moment, a trusted soldier suddenly rushed into Taiji Palace and knelt on the ground. He said anxiously,"Your Highness! The Xuanwu Gate had fallen. The Prince of Anlu Prefecture had rushed out of the Xuanwu Gate with 2,000 of the Crown Prince's guards and occupied the Heavenly Policy Prefecture!”
"Impossible! This Prince ordered Jing De to guard the Imperial Residence. With Jing De's elite soldiers and bravery, how could the Imperial Residence fall?
Furthermore, how could he break through the Black Tortoise Sect?”
Li Shi Min's expression changed as he grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted.
"The Black Tortoise Sect's generals, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, were killed. The guards didn't dare to stop them.
As for Yuchi…General Yuchi had been killed by the Commandery Prince of Anlu, and the Heavenly Policy Manor had fallen into the hands of the Crown Prince's guards.
Now, the princess consort and the princes have all been captured…"
The soldier gulped and replied carefully.
"Impossible!"
Li Shi Min almost fainted. Yuchi Gong was one of his most powerful generals! He had followed him for many years and was actually killed!
More importantly, the Heavenly Policy Prefecture had been occupied!
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, laughed and cried,""Haha…Hahaha…Shimin, Shimin, this is your retribution! Hahahaha…"
Li Yuan's laughter was filled with sorrow.
Today, his heart had already been broken.
"Zhijie, follow me back to the Heavenly Policy Prefecture. Leave some people to watch over Imperial Father!”
After a moment of losing his composure, Li Shi Min regained his composure.
After coldly looking at Li Yuan, who was laughing non-stop, he turned around and walked out of Taiji Palace. His handsome face was filled with unconcealable killing intent.
