Chapter 75 Li Xiuning gets angry
"report"
Wude ninth year, the eighth day of the sixth lunar month.
Li Shimin had just finished handling the matter and was about to take a rest when he heard someone coming to report.
This instantly drove away his original sleepiness. This was at a critical moment. He must not dare to make any mistakes again!
"When was it in such a hurry?"
Li Shimin opened the main hall and asked anxiously.
"Your Highness, Princess Pingyang led people to storm the city gate at dawn today, saying that she wanted to ask for an explanation from Your Highness." The visitor did not dare to neglect and said continuously.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was his third sister. He and his third sister had been close friends since they were children, so they probably wouldn't do anything outrageous.
But when I heard her leading people to attack the city gate, I couldn't sit still.
You must know that she is the commander-in-chief of the Detachment of Women, even though she has been split between the prince and her father.
However, you must know that the prince is 'dead' at this time, the father is imprisoned by himself, and the women's army is leaderless. As long as the third sister rises and calls out, they are likely to gather in response, which is more than [-] soldiers. Ah, thinking of this, can Li Shimin not be anxious?
"Have you ever found out how many troops Princess Pingyang brought?" Li Shimin asked.
"There are only a hundred soldiers."
"More than a hundred soldiers? More than a hundred soldiers attacked the city gate?"
Li Shimin felt that this was just a joke, but he put down his worries.
Things didn't develop in an unpredictable direction, but thinking about Third Sister's temper made her head ache.
"Okay, just let Princess Pingyang enter the palace!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said impatiently.
"This promise!"
In less than one stick of incense, Li Xiuning came to the Suzaku Gate with ten soldiers. Li Shimin had already been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Li Xiuning's cold eyes and thin figure, Li Shimin smiled bitterly and asked someone to open the Suzaku door and let Li Xiuning in.
He blocked Changsun, Yuchi and others who wanted to dissuade them, and signaled them to retreat.
Everyone had no choice but to retreat temporarily, but they vaguely surrounded Li Shimin and Li Xiuning. If Li Xiuning did anything wrong, they could kill them instantly.
"Ha! Your Highness the King of Qin is really careful. I, a woman, can make the famous His Highness the King of Qin feel like a formidable enemy. I didn't know that Jian Ran had such courage and dared to kill his brother and imprison his father."
Faced with such ridicule from his third sister, Li Shimin was speechless. Now that the matter had been done, he had nothing to deny.
"Why are you so sarcastic, Third Sister? The matter has been done. I, Li Shimin, dare to do and take responsibility. There is nothing I cannot admit. However, I, Li Shimin, have no regrets!" Li Shimin looked lonely, but his tone of voice was firm and firm.
"Don't you have any repentance?"
"Repent? How do you want me to repent? Do you want me to surrender and let them slaughter you at will? I'm sorry, I, Li Shimin, will never sit still and wait for death!"
"They killed me, and I, Li Shimin, have no complaints, but I still have your sister-in-law, and several of your nephews and nieces. With Yuanji's temperament, will he let them go? Will he? You tell me!"
Li Shimin roared like crazy.
"I, you, have done evil!"
Li Xiuning pointed at Li Shimin and wanted to say something, but seeing his look, she couldn't say anything. She could only squat on the ground and cry bitterly.
Li Shimin came to the third sister, stroked her head, and said softly: "The second brother doesn't want to do it either! But what can the second brother do? Everyone said that it was me, Li Shimin, who pretended to be poisoned to frame the prince. Who could know, this is Yuanji’s handiwork! By this time, it was already a do-or-die situation, either you die or I live, there is no other way out! "I want to see big brother!" "
"What?" Li Shimin was caught off guard by Li Xiuning's sudden response and did not react for a while.
After all, Li Shimin was the invincible commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty. He immediately calmed down, but said with a somewhat wandering look: "What big brother? Wasn't the big brother killed by Yuan Ji?"
"What? That kid Ji Song dares to lie to me, I'm going to kill him right now!"
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave. His furious appearance really didn't change at all.
"Okay, stop acting!"
Li Shimin said helplessly, since Ji Song has told the third sister about the matter, it means that the third sister already knows what happened, and there is no need to hide it anymore.
After saying that, without waiting for Li Xiuning to speak, he walked towards the East Palace.
After what happened that night, except for him, Yuchi Gong and a few close associates, no one was told about Li Jiancheng's death.
Although the fact that the prince is still alive will reduce his enemies a lot, it will also give some people an excuse. For the sake of political stability, Li Shimin doesn't care even if he gets infamy.
Compared to the stability of the country, mere infamy is nothing!
Soon the two came to the East Palace. At this time, the East Palace was heavily guarded, and it was guarded by the Xuanjia Army under his own command to ensure nothing went wrong.
"See Your Highness!"
"Get up!"
"promise!"
"How are the people inside at this time?"
"At first, I kept cursing His Highness, but since last night it has been surprisingly quiet." Duan Zhixuan, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, said.
"What's going on?" Li Shimin said worriedly.
"No, it's time to eat and sleep! There's nothing abnormal about it."
Li Shimin didn't ask any more questions. He paused for a while and then opened the gate of the East Palace, which had been closed for two days and one night.
Li Xiuning stood behind Li Shimin without saying anything.
He knows that things have reached this point. His father is still there and his eldest brother is not dead. This is already a good ending. As for Yuanji, he can only blame him for having thoughts that he shouldn't have! As the door opened, the dark hall ushered in the long-lost light.
Li Xiuning looked at the messy ground, and it was not difficult to think of how angry her elder brother was at that time.
Perhaps because he had been in a dim environment for a long time, Li Jiancheng was not used to the sudden light. He squinted his eyes and slightly blocked the sunlight shining on himself with his hands.
It wasn't until he got used to it that he saw who it was.
There was no tense situation as imagined, nor was there any anger or determination to kill the thief. He just looked at Li Shimin calmly.
But when he saw Li Xiuning behind Li Shimin, his numb eyes became a little more alert, but he still didn't say anything.
"Brother?" Li Xiuning quickly stepped forward and called.
Li Jiancheng ignored Li Xiuning and said to Li Shimin: "The second brother is really good at it. In such a desperate situation, he can still fight back and turn defeat into victory. It is really eye-opening for me!"
"However, what surprises me even more is that you didn't kill me. This is not your method!"
"Brother, please stop talking, please stop talking, even if it's my sister begging you." Li Xiuning heard what her eldest brother said and quickly stopped her.
