The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

In the early morning, Li Shimin, dressed in plain clothes and accompanied by eunuchs, came to the Huxin Pavilion behind the Tai Chi Hall to meet Li Yuan.

At this time, Li Yuan was silently in a daze in the Huxin Pavilion.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

When he came to Li Yuan's side, Li Shimin bent down and saluted, and the ten princes were respectful.

But Li Yuan just threw some fish food into the lake and fed the koi, which immediately caused a magnificent scene of tens of thousands of carp gathering.

As for Li Shimin, he seemed to be completely ignored.

Li Shimin was not annoyed at being so ignored. He took the food box from the eunuch's hand, put it on the table and said:

"Father, my son specially asked the chef in the house to make this. They are all the food that the father likes. Why don't you give it a try?"

After that, he opened the food box with his own hands, took out the exquisite meals one by one, and placed them on the table.

Li Yuan didn't even look at Li Shimin and sneered: "It's just a pretense."

Li Shimin still maintained the etiquette of father and son, emperor and minister, and said respectfully: "This is all the filial piety of the son and minister. If the father is not happy, the son and minister will withdraw."

"Filial piety!" Li Yuan was furious, waved his hand and pushed all the food on the table to the ground, angrily scolded Li Shimin, "You, a man who killed his brother and forced his father, are worthy of talking to me about filial piety!"

The food spilled all over Li Shimin, making him look very messy.

The eunuchs and maids around them knelt down quickly, burying their heads underneath, and their bodies were shaking like chaff from fear.

"Father, why do you have to do this?"

Li Shimin looked up at Li Yuan, with anger on his face and a slightly higher tone.

"Father, you obviously want your son to take over the throne, but because of the eldest son inheritance system, you are always wandering between your son and your eldest brother."

Li Shimin's eyes turned red, "If I had no other choice, why would I be willing to kill each other and bear the eternal infamy of killing my brother and forcing my father?"

But during this period of time, you and your eldest brother have successively transferred all my troops and generals away from Chang'an.

My son is afraid!

Erchen was worried that if he didn't take action, he would have no chance.

I am even more worried that my eldest brother will eliminate his sons and ministers in order to secure the throne in the future.

In the final analysis, all this is because of your indecisiveness, Father.

Either you will depose my eldest brother as the crown prince, or you will completely stop thinking about me.

But you gave me hope, and then you kept breaking this hope with your own hands.

Half of the country in the Tang Dynasty was conquered by his subordinates.

The eldest brother is sitting in this position, why can't I sit down? "

At the end of the sentence, Li Shimin's voice almost roared.

Li Yuan was also angry and shouted loudly: "I am indeed hesitating between you and Jiancheng, wondering who will pass the throne to in the future.

But no matter what, you should not kill your brother!

Are you still a human being if you kill each other for the throne? "

Faced with Li Yuan's scolding, Li Shimin did not give in, and his words were sharp and aggressive.

"My son, I have no choice!

Ever since his father appointed Erchen as General Tiance, Xu Erchen had the power to establish his own official position.

It was destined that the son-in-law and the eldest brother were incompatible.

Even if the eldest brother does not kill his son now, he will definitely kill his son after he ascends the throne.

No emperor can tolerate a Tiance Mansion that is almost a small court, and no emperor can tolerate a prince with a large number of troops. "

Li Yuan stood there blankly and didn't say a word for a while.

His face was full of annoyance and pain.

Li Shimin was right. He has to bear a lot of responsibility for the current situation of fratricide.

Li Shimin looked straight at Li Yuan and continued: "Father, my eldest brother is dead, and the position of crown prince cannot remain vacant.

Qin had no heir, and the second generation died. This is a precedent.

I sincerely request my father to come to court tomorrow morning and appoint my son as the crown prince. "

Hearing that Li Shimin finally revealed his true purpose, Li Yuan sneered: "If I refuse, will you kill me?"

"I don't dare!" Li Shimin said expressionlessly, "No matter how crazy I am, I don't dare to do something to my father.

But the matter has come to this, and it will be conducive to the stability of the Tang Dynasty to establish his son as the prince early.

Please think about it more, father. I will retire for the time being. "

Having said that, Li Shimin did not force Li Yuan to give an answer immediately. After bowing and saluting, he turned around and left the Huxin Pavilion.

Li Yuan was left standing silently in the lake pavilion without saying a word.

After leaving the Huxin Pavilion, Li Shimin said calmly to his entourage: "Today, all the eunuchs and maids in the pavilion will be killed together."

"promise."

The entourage bowed his hands in agreement and then left quietly.

……

The next day there will be a large court meeting.

Today is the first time that civil and military officials have gone to court after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and it is also the first time that Li Yuan has held a court meeting.

All the officials knew what this court meeting meant, but no one dared to say anything more.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin had completely removed all obstacles, and no one could stop him from moving toward imperial power.

In the hall, civil and military officials sat on both sides of the hall, all with their heads lowered and silent.

Only occasionally did someone look up at the two positions in front of them that originally belonged to Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji.

Now that the two are gone, only the winner of this palace battle remains.

Li Shimin's seat was at the front of the civil and military officials.

Feeling the gazes constantly coming from around him, his expression was calm and did not fluctuate at all, only his eyes flickered slightly.

Nowadays, most of the officials above the court are close confidants of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.

Only by moving all the officials of his Tiance Mansion to the court and occupying important positions can he truly take the first step in taking charge of the Tang Empire.

But don't worry, this day will come soon after he is established as the prince.

That day, they had a conversation at the Huxinting Pavilion, but they ended up unhappy.

But he believed that the current situation had developed and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan had no choice but to make him the prince.

Li Yuan's ascension to the court today is probably the day when he will be announced to the civil and military officials and the world as the crown prince.

Looking up at the high dragon chair, the fiery color in Li Shimin's eyes flashed away.

"Brother, I promise you that after I ascend the throne, I will definitely be a good emperor!"...
