The reality is absurd. A few hours ago, he was clearly in control of the situation, but in an instant, he became the loser.
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji who was coming to kill him, and his heart was shaken violently.
If King Chu was ambitious, he would understand and would not be surprised. After all, King Chu's ambition was cultivated by his father.
But King Qi, the King of Qi who has been following him, actually has ambitions!
A person he had never paid much attention to had made him fail today.
He is unwilling and angry!
He wanted to eat the traitor Li Yuanji!
"Father, Yuanji is here to save you!" Li Yuanji stood at the door and shouted.
With Li Jiancheng in the middle, Li Yuan responded happily, "Is it Yuanji? I heard it, I heard it!"
Like a long drought, Li Yuan was happy from the bottom of his heart. This son, whom he had always had a headache for, loyally protected his father today, and his cultivation was not in vain.
"Yuanji, where is Zhiyun?"
"Father, don't worry, my fifth brother is on his way here. The rebels outside have been eliminated, and the rebels Sheng Yanshi, Dou Cong and others have been executed!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Yuan was shocked and regained his confidence again.
He looked at Li Jiancheng and said angrily: "Treason, your conspiracy has been exposed, why don't you kneel down and surrender!"
Li Jiancheng ignored Li Yuan and looked at Li Yuanji, "I really didn't expect that you would betray me."
At this time, he was uncharacteristically calm.
Li Yuanji sneered and said: "I have never collaborated with you, so how can I betray you? As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, you should have assisted your father in creating a prosperous age, but you committed rebellion and killed your father. You are simply a beast!"
"Beast?" Li Jiancheng sneered, "Are you talking about yourself? I never expected that you would betray me.
Yuanji, it's safe to go back. As long as you are willing to come back, when I ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely fulfill my promise and appoint you as the emperor's brother. This country of Tang Dynasty is mine and yours."
Li Yuan was stunned. He looked at his two sons in confusion. From what the prince said, it seemed that King Qi was also involved in the rebellion.
What is going on?
"You are deceiving the public with your evil words!" Li Yuanji scolded: "You will not forget to slander me even when you are about to die. Li Jiancheng, you really have no king, no father, no respect for the superior, and a wolfish ambition!"
Li Jiancheng laughed and said, "You are still so stupid and can't even speak. No wonder you have never been in the mainstream, even worse than a humble bastard."
"Stop talking nonsense, or we'll be captured soon!" Li Yuanji interrupted him.
The remaining East Palace soldiers guarded Li Jiancheng and stood ready.
Li Jiancheng knew that Li Yuanji had betrayed him, so he turned to look at the emperor and said: "Father, you may not know that the reason why I dare to do this today is because the King of Qi is supporting me behind my back. He has long ago
The King of Qi's army was ambushed around Wannian."
"What did you say?" Li Yuan's happiness disappeared.
Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "I have made an agreement with Yuan Ji to kill the King of Chu first, and then ask you to abdicate. When the time comes, I will ascend the throne, appoint Yuan Ji as the emperor's younger brother, and share the country. Father, do you think Yuan Ji is here to save you?"
your?
Wrong.
He came to kill me and then do what I didn't finish.
Hahahahahaha!”
Under the violent storm, Li Jiancheng looked up to the sky and laughed.
That laughter struck Li Yuan's ears as extremely ironic.
"You...you..." Li Yuan was holding his heart with one hand and his head with the other. He was almost dying of pain.
My heart hurts and my head hurts!
Li Yuanji sneered and said: "Li Jiancheng, no matter what you say today, I will not let you go, an ambitious person like you."
"Really?" Li Jiancheng gave up on himself and said: "In the battle of Shuozhou, you cooperated with Liu Wenjing, cooperated internally and externally, colluded with the Turks, abandoned Shanyang, and caused the death of King Qin in the battle. Have you forgotten?"
Boom!
Thunder resounded across the sky, and lightning flashed across the sky.
Li Yuan's face was pale and bloodless.
"Yuanji, tell me, what he said is true?"
Li Xiuning stared at this scene blankly, feeling cold all over.
Brothers from the same mother, brothers from the same mother, actually kill each other's siblings.
She can't accept this!
Hearing this, Li Yuanji simply said to Li Jiancheng: "What's the use of talking about this now? Now the situation is mine. If you die, everyone will die, and no one will know all this. Furthermore, if it weren't for you,
Instructing Liu Wenjing to contact the Turks, how could King Qin die?
Without your permission, how could the Turks dare to go south?
You are the mastermind of all this!"
puff!
Furious, furious, and in pain, Li Yuan vomited blood and veins bulged on his forehead.
It turns out that they really did it.
Erlang, it was really them who murdered him!
"His Majesty!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Chai Shao and Li Xiuning, crying, supported Li Yuan.
Li Jiancheng seemed unaware of all this.
He looked at Li Yuanji and asked, "When did you prepare all this?"
"That's enough Li Jiancheng, you are almost dead, why are you asking so many questions?" Li Yuanji replied impatiently.
Li Jiancheng sneered, "Even if I die, I won't make it easy for you!"
Seeing that the eldest and fourth child were still telling each other the bloody truth, Li Xiuning cursed angrily.
"Shut up, you two. Do you want to be so angry? You two are messing with your account!"
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan with cold eyes.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and stood up and asked him, "Why are you doing this? You are already the crown prince, why do you still want to kill your brothers and commit rebellion?"
"Prince?" Li Jiancheng said sternly: "Prince! What kind of prince am I? In the eyes of the courtiers, I am a prince, but in your eyes, I am just a dog!
King Qin is another dog you raised. You let King Qin and I bite each other. You are so high and mighty as your emperor. How could you ever treat me like a prince?
King Qin is dead, and you treat King Chu like a dog to contain and balance me. Do you think I can't see all this!
You damn old dog!"
Boom!
There was thunder and blood flowed from the corner of Li Yuan's mouth.
"You...you...you..."
He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Li Jiancheng sneered: "What, you have nothing to say after being exposed by me? If you really regard me as the prince, you should not cultivate the King of Qin to oppose me. If I had no threat, how could I kill the King of Qin?
Everything today is all caused by you!"
Li Yuanji drew his sword and ordered, "Capture and kill the rebel Li Jiancheng!"
He didn't care. Talking nonsense was a waste of time. It was better to just do it. They were all killing anyway, and he didn't care about killing a few more.
Following Li Yuanji's order.
A fighting broke out in the palace, and the soldiers of the East Palace resisted desperately, but in the face of absolute numerical superiority, they were quickly defeated.
Only Li Jiancheng was left standing with his sword.
"Your Highness, I'll do it." Li Sixing was about to step forward to kill Li Jiancheng on Li Yuanji's behalf, but Li Yuanji stopped him.
"I'll do it."
After speaking, Li Yuanji stepped forward.
"Brother, I'll give you one last ride."
Li Jiancheng gently raised his sword and pointed it at Li Yuanji.
"Today, even though I die, I will never let you be safe and sound!"
"Come on!" Li Yuanji shouted.
Two brothers meet with swords and swords.
Heavy rain fell and thunder continued, and Li Yuan's mood was beyond description.
Anger, entanglement, pain, regret, hatred... At this moment, Li Yuan watched his two sons fighting to the death, and he finally began to regret it.
If he hadn't played with the balance between his two sons, none of this would have happened today.
Erlang will not die.
The eldest brother and the fourth child will not fight to the death.
"Stop!" Li Yuan cried violently, "Stop it, stop it quickly. You can't do this, you are brothers, you can't do this, stop it!
ah--!"
He was in pain, he was helpless, and he wanted to fight for the ground with his head.
What could be more painful than losing a child in old age?
What could be more painful than watching his two sons kill each other?
"Oh my god, why do you punish Li Yuan like this, ah... poof!"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and Li Yuan fell into his daughter's arms.
"Quick, quick, let them stop, let... they stop, go quickly."
"Yeah!" Li Xiuning cried bitterly.
She never wanted to stop it, but how could she stop it now?
Li Yuanji parried Li Jiancheng with his knife, and then slashed Li Jiancheng's left shoulder with his backhand.
With one strike, Li Jiancheng was seriously injured. The sword fell from his hand and fell to the ground. With a clang, Li Jiancheng became unstable.
In terms of martial arts, he is no match for Li Yuanji.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Yuanji slashed Li Jiancheng three times in succession, causing blood to burst all over Li Jiancheng's body.
Bang!
Li Jiancheng fell to the ground, splashing with rainwater.
In his pupils was Li Yuanji with a crazy expression and the severe pain coming from his body.
"Fuck, die, die, die, die, die!"
Li Yuanji went crazy and slashed at his biological eldest brother with a knife. Blood spattered on his face, making him even more crazy.
Li Yuan watched the fourth brother chop the boss to death with a knife, his eyeballs were about to burst and his nostrils were bleeding.
"Ahhhhh..." Li Yuan could no longer speak and could only babbling and roaring, like a dying old man.
Li Jiancheng was numb after being stabbed too many times, leaving only a trace of clarity in his brain.
He knew that this should be a return to light.
At this moment, he suddenly dreamed of returning to the Tang Guogong Mansion in Taiyuan.
It was an afternoon, sunny and windy.
The mother was sitting in the courtyard, while Erlang and Sanlang were playing and fooling around. Silang bullied Wulang, but was chased and beaten by Xiuning with a wooden stick. Zhiyun stayed on the ground aggrievedly and said nothing.
And he, as the eldest son of Duke Tang, was chatting with his father about world affairs.
He heard his father say worriedly, "Your Majesty is going to conquer Goguryeo again..."
He could no longer hear clearly what was said.
More than ten years ago, he still didn't understand why his father was so worried. While listening, he quietly looked at his mother and the carefree Erlang and Sanlang.
He wanted this too.
It's a pity that he is the eldest son of Duke Tang, so he can't play carefree like that.
"Big brother, big brother, teach me how to ride a horse."
"Erlang, you are still young and cannot ride a horse."
"No, I can do that."
"Be obedient. In a few days, will my brother buy you a pony?"
"Thank you big brother, big brother is the best."
"You, don't follow Sanlang and take care of your brothers in the future, you know?"
"Oh, I get it, I get it, big brother, you are so annoying, like the wine-drained grandma from West Market."
"If you dare to make fun of big brother, don't run away!"
"Hahaha, brother, come and catch me."
"And me, brother." Li Xuanba also laughed and got into trouble with Li Shimin.
In a trance.
Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder.
"Brother."
Li Jiancheng turned around and saw his mother, Li Shimin, and Li Xuanba.
"Aniang, second brother, third brother."
Li Xuan said domineeringly: "Brother, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Yes, brother." Li Shimin had a smile on his face.
"Second brother, you..."
"It's completed." Queen Taimu called softly in the distance.
"Aunt..."
The tip of his nose felt sour, and the corners of his eyes suddenly became moist.
