Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 35: Xuanwu Gate Big Stage, Anyone Can Perform?

Chapter 35: Xuanwu Gate Big Stage, Anyone Can Perform?
"The prince said that their target is the palace, and they are here just to surround us."

Li Ji's face turned extremely gloomy, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a cold voice:

"What a cruel method! They were able to come up with such a vicious plan. I really underestimated them!"

His voice was filled with murderous intent, which made people feel cold.

When the people around heard this, their expressions changed and they all looked at Li Ji with shock in their eyes.

"General, what you mean is..." A general of the Imperial Guards couldn't help but ask.

Li Ji's eye twitched. With his many years of experience in military operations and warfare, how could he not understand what was going on by now?

The weapons and armor of the Shangshu Mansion were deliberately exposed to attract their attention and troops, and then transferred through the secret passage.

"Not good, the imperial city's defenses are weak now, we have to fight our way out quickly."

Li Ji figured everything out and became very anxious in an instant. This was a premeditated rebellion.

His heart was filled with anxiety and worry, because if it was true as he thought, the situation would become very critical.

"General, what should we do?" asked a guard general anxiously.

Li Ji took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Organize troops immediately and prepare to break out."

"I'm afraid it's too late now. We were already exposed to the enemy when we took action, and they should have someone in the palace to support us."

Li Chengqian said without hesitation that the power that Prince Wei Li Tai possessed in the court was greater than he had imagined.

Otherwise, how could he dare to openly challenge the Eastern Palace and bring the fight for the throne into the open.

When Li Shimin was determined to establish the King of Wei, many officials had already stood on Li Tai's side.

This is also a merit of following the dragon, and there is a possibility of being granted a title, so many people would take the risk for this.

Li Shimin was wise and brave, but he would eventually grow old, and the next generation of kings would be the key to their victory.

"If that's the case, it's too dangerous!"

Li Ji was extremely terrified. If there was a traitor, then many of Li Shimin's defenses would be useless.

Even though there are nearly 10,000 guards, they are distributed across the gates of the imperial palace, so they definitely won't be able to arrive in the first possible moment.

Li Ji had a deep understanding of this. At the beginning, the Qin Palace only had 800 soldiers, who rushed into the imperial palace with 30,000 defenders and took Emperor Gaozu of Tang hostage.

The imperial guards were totally unprepared and did not expect the King of Qin to rebel.

"I hope Your Majesty has noticed it. Yes, Your Majesty must have noticed it."

Li Ji's face changed again and again, and he was very anxious. But when his eyes fell on Li Chengqian, he found that Li Chengqian was extremely calm, without any panic on his face.

"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so calm?" Li Ji couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Your Majesty is such a great man. How did your Majesty operate back then? Could it be possible that someone else could copy it?"

Li Chengqian shook his head and revealed a bitter smile. In this game, Li Er might have taken everyone into account.

"Duke Ying, our mission is to arrest the traitor Du Chuke and bring him to justice. As for the rebels outside the Shangshu Mansion, they should all be killed on the spot. Those who plot treason will be punished without mercy."

"Royal Guards, listen to my orders. Kill all the rebels. Leave no one alive."

At this moment, Li Chengqian was like a god of death, holding the power of life and death in his hands. His aura was so powerful that everyone couldn't help but look at him sideways.

This is not a weak prince, but a ruthless man who is arbitrary and murderous. "The Right Yulin Army listens to my order. Each of them leads 500 soldiers and attacks from the four streets in the east, west, south and north. Make sure to kill all the rebels. The rest of the Yulin guards will stay in the Shangshu Mansion to protect the prince."

Li Ji immediately gave the order. He was extremely sensitive to the war situation and immediately made the most appropriate arrangements.

The bustling streets of Chang'an were now stained with blood. The blood slowly gathered into streams, and corpses piled up.

The Royal Guards are all elites selected from among hundreds of troops. Although they are not as strong as the Dragon Warrior Cavalry Guards, they are also veterans of hundreds of battles and have extremely rich combat experience. They are not comparable to these servants who were temporarily put together.

"Du Shangshu, come and have a cup of tea."

Compared to the bloodbath outside the mansion, the scene inside the Shangshu Mansion was indeed a different one. Li Chengqian lit a fire and boiled tea, remaining calm from beginning to end.

"Your Highness, you are in such a good mood. Even after all this, you can still chat and laugh."

Du Chuke was not polite and directly took the tea handed to him by Li Chengqian.

Now, at this point, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace no longer has much deterrent power over him.

"No, it should be said that Minister Du is so interested in using himself as bait. Regardless of success or failure, Minister Du will inevitably die. Why would he take the risk and do such a rebellious thing? This is very confusing to me."

Li Chengqian gently blew away the heat and drank the tea into his throat. It had a strong bitter taste and a light salty flavor.

"I was forced to do this!" Du Chuke also smiled bitterly.

"After His Highness ascends to the throne, how could he let me go? I am only doing this to find a way out for future generations."

Du Chuke is the younger brother of Du Ruhui. He still has considerable influence in the court and has made many connections for Prince of Wei Li Tai. Naturally, he is afraid of being purged.

Because he is Li Chengqian's enemy.

"I can only say that Minister Du made a wrong move. I am not a petty person. It is the Minister's move that has pushed our descendants into an endless abyss."

Li Chengqian smiled calmly.

"The outcome is still unknown!" Du Chuke also smiled and passed it by.

"You don't think that your tricks can compete with His Majesty, do you? Don't forget that His Majesty is the ancestor of rebellion. Aren't you just showing off your skills in front of an expert? Your tricks are all left over from his tricks."

Hearing this, Li Ji's hands trembled and he almost dropped the teacup, but he pretended that he heard nothing and continued drinking his tea.

"It's not the end yet, the outcome is still unknown." Du Chuke looked unhappy, but he was still feeling relieved.

"Then we'll see."

Li Chengqian's calmness made Du Chuke feel uneasy.

……

"Father, Yiai has already led the Right Guard away. What should we do?"

Fang Yizheng's face was full of worry, and he naturally felt that the current situation was unusual.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling slumped in his chair. At this point, they had just discovered Fang Yiai's actions, and it was too late to stop him.

"Father, it's not too late to stop Yiai now." Fang Yizheng said again.

"No one should move, just let him go, otherwise our Fang family will not be spared."

Fang Xuanling immediately waved his hands. Without the emperor's summons, using force at this time would be treason.
