When Li Jiancheng and his troops rushed to the Wude Hall, they saw Li Yuangao sitting on the chariot at the top of the steps. At the bottom of the steps, Li Shimin, dressed in royal robes, was lying on the ground motionless.

The surrounding Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and others looked at Li Jiancheng with sadness, anger and despair on their faces, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.

Li Jiancheng stepped forward quickly, with a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. He saluted Li Yuan at the top of the steps and said, "Shimin resisted arrest and was shot dead by Yuan Ji. Please tell me, Father."

Li Yuan didn't speak, but had a sad look on his face.

At this time, not far away, Li Yuanji came over with a large group of people.

"I am deeply saddened by such a brother-in-law killing each other." Li Yuan suddenly spoke slowly, "The prince has lost his virtue and his virtue is not worthy of his position. He was demoted to a commoner and handed over to the clan."

Li Jiancheng's eyes suddenly burst, and he said to Li Yuan, "Father, the villain who shot and killed the people was King Li Yuanji of Qi. I made a mistake and caused such a catastrophe. Father, this is really not my fault."

"You have an unshirkable responsibility for Shimin's death. Don't make excuses." Li Yuan said, "Although Yuan Ji has been naughty since he was a child, he would not commit the crime of killing his brother."

Li Yuanji looked ecstatic when he heard Li Yuan's words.

Li Jiancheng suddenly felt a fire burning in his heart. That's not what you said. Father, things are not like this. I am the prince, and this world should belong to me. Li Yuanji killed Li Shimin, what did Li Jiancheng do to me?

Suddenly, all kinds of grievances, sorrows, and confusions came to my mind, and there was even a trace of hatred lingering in my mind.

Not only did he hate Li Shimin for posing a huge threat to his position as crown prince, but he also hated Li Yuan for being so partial. He also hated Li Yuanji for acting without authorization and making the situation get out of hand.

The hatred seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Li Jiancheng turned to Li Yuan with red eyes and said, "If my father is deposed, who can take the position of crown prince?"

Li Yuan seemed a little impatient and said to Li Jiancheng, "Qi Wang Yuanji, Yingguo is like me and can be the reserve."

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. He drew out the sword from his waist and stabbed Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

Li Yuanji seemed to be caught up in the great joy of winning the reserve position. He couldn't react for a moment. He was stabbed in the chest by Li Jiancheng. Blood foam came from his throat, but he couldn't say a word and could only use trembling fingers.

Pointing at Li Jiancheng, he fell to the ground and gradually lost his voice.

"Father, Yuan Ji is dead, who can be the reserve?" Li Jiancheng pulled out his long sword, and a stream of blood spattered on his face, looking increasingly cruel and crazy.

Li Yuan remained expressionless and said slowly, "It's useless for you to kill Yuan Ji. My descendants still have Han Wang Yuanjia, Peng Wang Yuanze, Dao Wang Yuanqing, etc. If you kill one, I will create another one."

Li Jiancheng raised his sword upside down and couldn't help but chuckle, "Father, am I, Bishamon, so useless in your eyes? The position of prince was originally mine, so this world will eventually be mine."

"A tyrannical person, even if he ascends the throne, is still a foolish king." Fang Xuanling angrily rebuked. Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Zhang Gongjin, and Hou Junji all showed approval.

Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed sharply, and he ordered to the Chang Lin army behind him, "Kill, kill all these noisy insects to the lonely king."

The soldiers of Tang Lin's army swarmed forward, and soon Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin and others fell in a pool of blood.

Li Yuan, who was at the top of the steps, continued, "Even if you kill everyone in the world, I still won't let you become the prince."

"Why?" Li Jiancheng held his sword upside down and stepped up the stairs step by step. "I am a prince who works hard and diligently. Have I ever made any big mistakes or anything happened?"

"I am the emperor, and you are just the prince." Li Yuan said.

When Li Jiancheng stood in front of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuan, "Father, all the annoying flies are dead. Now there are only you and me here. I suddenly feel, can't I just become the emperor? Now

Isn’t it a little silly to fight for a reserve position now?”

"What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Why don't you back down!"

Li Jiancheng laughed crazily, "Retreat, father, where should I retreat? On the road to the throne, we can only move forward. Father, isn't this place under your butt paved with bones?"

"Sir, how are you doing?"

"How? Father, at this point, if I still focus on the position of prince, wouldn't it mean that I, Li Jiancheng, am too small? After all, the crown prince is the crown prince." Li Jiancheng said, "Today, I, Li Jiancheng, have achieved success.

I want to ascend this throne, and it is not up to you, my father, to decide my life or death with a single word."

A look of fear finally appeared on Li Yuan's face, and Li Jiancheng smiled ferociously and pierced Li Yuan's chest with the long sword in his hand.

Then he turned around and faced the bottom of the steps, opened his hands, and laughed crazily.

"I, Li Jiancheng, am the Son of Heaven. All the people in the world are the king's land, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers. I am the Son of Heaven."

Li Jiancheng's crazy laughter echoed in front of the entire Wude Hall.

——

In the side hall of Tai Chi Palace, Dou Ma's face looked a little pale.

The bronze mirror in front of you shows everything that happened in front of the Wude Hall.

In front of the bronze mirror, a group of silent people stood.

Dou Ma breathed out slowly and said to the silent crowd in front of her, "I have consumed a lot of energy and am almost unable to support myself. It is now the critical moment to close the net."

The leading man sighed leisurely and said, "Thank you, Zi Tong."

But it was Li Yuan who had just been shot through the chest by Li Jiancheng in the mirror.

Li Yuan turned around and said to Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, Pei Ju and others behind him, "My dear friends, do you still have any doubts? This is my family matter, but it is related to the country's foundation and cannot be left to my haste.

It’s up to you, dear friends, you can speak freely.”

Everyone was silent. How to talk about this matter? Speak freely? Can you talk nonsense about this matter? How many heads do you have to get involved in the royal family affairs?

As the saying goes, a man who accompanies a king is like a tiger who accompanies him. It may not matter what he says now, but if one day His Majesty wants to raise old scores, none of the people who spoke will be able to escape.

If Li Xiuning were here, he would definitely be muttering in his heart, these veterans are all human beings, and they are all foxes with thousands of years of experience. Who can't play "Liao Zhai" for a while here?

Only Pei Ji thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has made a decision. All I have to do is follow it."

Li Yuan nodded and said to the eunuch Wang De next to him, "According to Princess Pingyang's arrangements, quickly quell the riot in the palace and do not hurt the lives of Jiancheng and Yuanji."

Wang De bowed and exited the hall.

Just listen to Li Yuan say leisurely, "My dear friends, what happened today may be beyond your understanding, but one day, you will understand my painstaking efforts."

Everyone bowed their heads and cupped their hands, "Your majesty is wise and wise."
