Chapter 12 The tip of the nose is sour and the corners of the eyes are suddenly wet [Thanks to Juju aa
Raindrops fell on Li Jiancheng's face. He slowly raised his hands and bowed.
"My sons and ministers see my father."
Li Yuan sneered, but his smile was superficial. It looked both funny and full of ridicule.
"Are you still my son?"
"Yes, I have always been my son." Li Jiancheng replied forcefully.
Under the heavy rain, he opened his voice, as if shouting, or amplified his voice because he was worried that Li Yuan could not hear him clearly.
However, to Li Yuan's ears, there was no sincerity at all.
He raised his hand and pointed at the wolf-like soldiers and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Jiancheng said expressionlessly: "The King of Qi and King Chu intends to rebel, and his sons and ministers have come to protect him."
"Where's the evidence!"
Li Yuan couldn't hold himself any longer and shouted at him.
Li Jiancheng said indifferently: "What I said is the evidence."
"Brother." Li Xiuning couldn't help but ask, "What on earth are you going to do!"
Although she knew in her heart that the prince was probably plotting rebellion, she subconsciously did not want to believe it. She hoped that the prince would tell her that none of this was true.
Li Jiancheng's eyes lingered on his sister for a moment and said, "You have nothing to do here."
"You traitor!" Li Yuan said angrily: "Do you want to kill my father?"
"I don't dare." Li Jiancheng said: "My son sympathizes with my father's worries about state affairs. I just hope that I can share the government affairs with my father to fulfill my filial piety."
He really didn't want to kill his father, he just wanted his father to abdicate. He couldn't bear the notoriety of killing his father.
Li Yuan laughed so hard that he wanted to cry.
What absurd things he could actually say.
"Tell me, did you kill your fourth and fifth brothers?"
Li Jiancheng was silent.
Master Sheng Yan stood up and said: "The King of Qi and King Chu intends to rebel. His crime is unforgivable and he should be beheaded in public."
"Shut up!" Li Yuan shouted angrily, "You bitch, it's not your turn to be arrogant here!"
Master Sheng Yan pursed his lips and retreated with his head shrinking.
Li Jiancheng said: "My father and I don't want to treat them like this, but this is their own mistake and they should bear it themselves."
Hearing this, Li Yuan was in a trance, as if he had seen the tragic death of the fourth son Yuanji and the fifth son Zhiyun under the prince's butcher's knife.
He pointed at the prince with trembling fingers, and said in a choked voice: "You are a traitor, you are a beast, they are your biological brothers, how can you do it, how can you kill them!"
"They are rebelling!" Li Jiancheng's tone was in vain. "They want to endanger the security of the Tang Dynasty. I can't just sit idly by and watch. My father can't bear it, but I am willing to kill my relatives for justice!"
"Fart!" Li Yuan cursed angrily, "Your fourth and fifth brothers are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. When will they rebel?"
Li Jiancheng's enthusiasm was waning and he didn't want to continue arguing with Li Yuan, because there would only be one winner today.
And history is written by the victors.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense to his father about his fifth brother threatening him, because it was meaningless. Since he had chosen to mutiny, he no longer had to think about convincing his father with words.
"Father, please return to the palace to rest." Li Jiancheng cupped his fists and bowed.
"Your Majesty, please rest!" Master Sheng Yan responded loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers shouted together, "Your Majesty, please rest!"
Li Yuan's lips were trembling with anger, his heart was in severe pain, and his whole body almost fell into Chai Shao's arms.
"The traitor, the traitor!"
Just when Li Jiancheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, shouts of death suddenly came from outside, followed by a soldier rushing in.
"Your Highness, the King of Qi has led his troops and is attacking our army!"
"What!" Li Jiancheng's eyes widened, looking incredible, even thinking that this was a fantasy.
King Qi rebelled?
How is this possible!
Does he also have ambitions? Has the King of Chu been solved by the King of Qi?
Li Yuan was almost desperate, but when he suddenly heard such news, his spirit was shocked. It turns out that King Qi is not dead, it turns out that he is still alive!
Li Jiancheng didn't have time to think too much, and immediately ordered Feng Li and others to lead the army to support. He stayed behind to control the emperor.
Originally, he was prepared to take down the emperor in one fell swoop, but Li Daozong was still there, and King Qi's sudden betrayal, he could only stand still and continue to control the palace.
As for killing his father, he had never thought about it.
Controlling the emperor and making Li Yuanji surrender is impossible even if you think about it.
Outside the palace.
Li Yuanji led his soldiers and horses to arrive first, and directly attacked the prince's soldiers and horses without hesitation. However, the prince's side was unprepared and was severely wounded by Li Yuanji, and Yang Wenqian was stabbed to death by Li Sixing.
The heavy rain fell on Li Yuanji, and he felt that his blood was boiling all over, and the golden throne was waving to him. And what he had to do was to kill his father and the prince!
Feng Li rushed to the battlefield and asked Li Yuanji, "King Qi, what are you doing?"
"What to do?" Li Yuanji laughed, "The prince is rebelling, and I am here to put down the rebellion!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Sixing led his army to attack, and the two sides fought together.
On the prince's side, with the blessing of the soldiers and horses of Master Sheng Yan and Dou Cong, King Qi was unable to defeat the opponent for a while, and was even beaten back by Feng Li and others.
Feng Li fought his way to Li Yuanji in the chaos and pointed his sword at Li Yuanji, "King Qi, if you surrender now, His Highness the Crown Prince may care about brotherhood and spare your life. Don't be stubborn anymore."
As a general of the East Palace, Feng Li's combat effectiveness goes without saying.
Li Yuanji refused to accept it and stepped forward to challenge Feng Li to a duel. The two fought back and forth among the chaotic army.
Feng Li's martial arts skills were stronger than Li Yuanji's, and he forced Li Yuanji back after a moment. Just as he was preparing to counterattack with Master Sheng Yan and others to capture Li Yuanji alive, something unexpected happened.
Not far away, Yu Wenbao shouted, "Feng Li, don't hurt my lord!"
Hearing Yu Wenbao's voice, Li Yuanji laughed loudly. He knew that with the army of King Chu's left and right guards joining him, he would definitely win!
Dou Cong looked at the left guard soldiers and felt bad.
When he saw Luo Shixin, Li Junxian and others appearing, he was immediately convinced that the King of Chu was not dead, and he had joined forces with the King of Qi!
"Quickly, tell His Highness the news." Dou Cong quickly sent someone to inform Li Jiancheng.
As Yu Wenbao's support arrived, the left and right guard armies joined the battlefield. The strength of the Qi King's army, which was about to be defeated, greatly increased, and they once again fought fiercely with the prince's troops.
The two sides fought together, becoming indistinguishable for a while.
"Master Sheng Yan!"
With a loud shout, Luo Shixin's face flashed past in the light of thunder, followed by bursts of thunder in the air.
Click!
Almost at the same time, when thunder rang out, Luo Shixin slashed down with his sword and cut off one of Master Sheng Yan's arms.
"Ah! My hand, my hand!" Master Sheng Yan roared, and blood burst out from his severed arm. Under the white light of thunder and lightning, it looked strange and ferocious.
And his face was almost distorted. Severe pain spread from his heart to his limbs, causing his brain to almost stop thinking.
Luo Shixin did not give Master Sheng Yan a chance to survive, so he went up and killed Master Sheng Yan with two swords and cut off his head.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
In an instant, a large number of the intimidating soldiers stopped. They looked at Master Sheng Yan's body at a loss and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this time, the lieutenants who had been buried under Li Zhiyun shouted at the same time, "We are willing to surrender!"
Seeing this, Dou Cong, who was in the rebellious army, felt his heart turn cold.
It's over.
Unfortunately, before he could recover his senses, Li Junxian led an army to attack and killed Dou Cong.
The two sides fought fiercely for about an hour, and all the prince's troops were defeated. The guards on the left and right either died or surrendered, and few resisted tenaciously.
Dou Cong also died in the hands of Li Junxian.
The remaining Feng Li, under a circle of guards, guarded the palace gate.
At this time, he was exhausted. Under the siege of Li Yuanji, Yu Wenbao, and Li Sixing, even he could not resist, and his physical strength could not last long.
Li Yuanji looked at the dying Feng Li and smiled coldly, "Go to hell."
The soldiers raised their long bows and shot Feng Li into a hedgehog on the spot, with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
Because of the heavy rain, there was not much room for bows and arrows to be used. Only close-range attacks would have some lethality, which was perfect for taking down Feng Li.
Luo Shixin stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, King Qi, the rebels have been suppressed."
"Okay, I am very pleased with General Luo's bravery." Li Yuanji patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You stay outside to clean the battlefield, while I go to rescue your majesty."
"yes."
Li Yuanji waved his hand and led Li Sixing and Yu Wenbao into the palace.
Seeing Li Yuanji and others entering the palace, Luo Shixin and Li Junxian looked at each other and smiled.
