"Your Majesty, go back!"
Not long after Wu Gonggong turned and sent his troops to leave, Li Kuan single-handedly killed him again. The archer's arrows were exhausted. Not only did he fail to shoot Li Kuan, but he didn't even touch his clothes. All the arrows. They were blocked by him.
The densely packed arrows hit the soldier Li Kuan used as a shield. The thick armor was forcibly pierced, and the whole person turned into a hedgehog, as if a straw boat borrowed arrows to attract the enemy to shoot arrows, but it was actually a waste of money. The opponent's arrow.
The Imperial Palace Guards are responsible for the safety of the palace. They are mainly patrolling. Unlike the army on the battlefield, they carry heavy crossbows and heavy weapons with the army, which also gave Li Kuan the opportunity to fight the siege. Anticipating something wrong in advance, Li Daliang personally led the soldiers to stop him, and then ordered the soldiers to escort Li Shimin to retreat.
Li Shimin, who was a little bit intolerant before, watched Li Kuan kill him like a monster, scared into cold sweat, and retreated to Ganlu Temple in a panic. Li Kuan stared sharply at the fleeing Li Shimin, gritted his teeth, and roared word by word: "Li Shimin!"
Li Shimin was shocked and his heart was full of anger. Li Kuan called him by his name in public. This was definitely a provocation and a great insult. Li Kuan's yelling completely angered Li Shimin, desperately saying: "Kill, kill this rebellious son for me!"
As soon as the voice fell, the guards who had retreated before swarmed up again. After Li Daliang was unwilling, he also raised his knife and killed him. The soldiers also didn't care whether what Li Shimin said just now was true or angry. In short, if they didn't go all out, not only would their lives be worrying, but even the current emperor would be in danger.
As the Imperial Guards, they have their dignity and no one can violate them. Now Li Kuan has violated their bottom line repeatedly and desperately tried his best. Even dozens of people have to restrain Li Kuan at the cost of their lives. action.
The power of Minghong Sword finally manifested. All the soldiers used the current military-dedicated swords. The sharpness is nothing less than that. However, when encountering the ancestor of the sword, it is like a sword smashing a bamboo. Any collision with the Minghong sword. The weapons were all broken into two without exception.
The flesh and blood couldn't resist Li Kuan, who was holding a sharp weapon. They had no weapons in their hands, so they could only fight hand-to-hand. Even though he was wearing a battle armor, it was not enough for Li Kuan to cut. Even the bright light armor on Li Daliang's body was taken care of by Li Kuan, and the armor was torn apart with a few knives.
Li Kuan's strength was so great that Li Daliang had to barely resist every time he attacked. Even so, he staggered and staggered. Before he could react, Li Kuan attacked again. After several attacks, Li Daliang was already exhausted physically and mentally. He was not Li Kuan's opponent at all, and Li Kuan was younger than him. Too much, so Li Daliang could not fight back.
Li Daliang's defeat steadily shook the rest of the Guards. They were also stunned by Li Kuan's bravery and bloodthirsty. They all forgot to continue the attack. They stood stupidly watching Li Daliang face Li Kuan's attack alone. Finally, Li Daliang fell to the ground and vomited blood, thinking that when he was about to die, Li Kuan gave up making up the knife and continued to pursue Li Shimin with the knife.
"Quick... Stop it!"
Li Daliang would rather die than make the current emperor feel sick. He stood up hard and yelled weakly. The soldiers did not dare to hesitate to continue blocking Li Kuan’s progress, but they did not dare to get too close and fired his sword. After drinking too much blood of soldiers, there was no blood stain on the blade, as if the blade was brighter and sharper.
"Li Shimin!"
Li Kuan let out a terrible shout, scared Li Shimin to flee in a hurry, and quietly looked back and saw Li Daliang covered in blood, wishing to speed up his pace, where he cared about the courtesy of the King of God, he just wanted to hold his own life.
The eunuchs and maids near the Ganlu Temple were shocked, shivering, and looked at Li Kuan who was carrying a knife to chase Li Shimin in horror. Their brains were blank, for fear that the pond fish would be slaughtered. Li Kuan’s target was Li Shimin alone. As long as he did not block his way, he would not kill with a knife.
The soldiers who escorted Li Shimin to the retreat stepped forward to stop them, but they were useless and were directly killed by Li Kuan. The road from the inner courtyard of the palace to the Temple of Ganlu was full of blood, and Li Shimin was also surprised by Li Kuan's madness. He really didn't expect Li Kuan to dare to be so mad, it seemed completely mad.
With bigger steps and faster fleeing, Li Shimin thought of what happened when the Xuanwu Gate changed that year while fleeing, with mixed feelings in his heart. Li Kuan chased him all the way to the Hall of Liangyi. Li Shimin suddenly stopped as if he had figured it out, and turned to look at Li Kuan, who was less than 500 meters away from him. Behind him were Li Daliang and the guardsman. .
"The emperor, hurry up!" There were fewer than ten soldiers staying beside Li Shimin. They were standing by, and they were afraid of Li Kuan rushing over. They kept their eyes on Li Kuan, and they would react immediately if they made a slight movement.
It happened that Li Shimin didn't escape at this time, which made everyone extremely anxious. They surrounded Li Shimin to protect him, while the others continued to confront Li Kuan. Seeing that Li Shimin was not fleeing, Li Kuan showed a sneer on his face, his icy eyes showed a biting killing intent, and he raised Minghong's knife and killed him.
Li Daliang and the others were also shocked. He had already sent people to mobilize the Imperial Imperial Army, and it should have already arrived. Now that Li Kuan has reached the Hall of Two Instruments, the imperial army has not arrived, which gave Li Daliang a bad feeling, as if everything was beyond his expectation.
"Do you really want to kill the emperor?" Li Shimin stopped, staring at the murderous Li Kuan intently, and said bitterly: "You know that this matter spreads out, you are the sinner of the Tang Dynasty, who has been carrying the father's murderer all his life. Charge."
"So what?" Li Kuan repelled the guard who was blocking him. There were only two people standing with Li Shimin, and they didn't dare to move. Li Kuan held the Minghong knife in his hand and sneered: "Father-killing? Li Shimin, what qualifications do you have? Be my father? Have you raised me for one day since I was born? If it were not for my mother's insistence, I am afraid that I would have been dead. Your so-called father has already died in my heart. I only have a mother and no father, let alone you are unworthy!"
After continuous killings, Li Kuan's killing intent had already been almost vented, his consciousness was slightly awakened, and his blood-red eyes gradually faded. Facing Li Shimin's questioning, the words hidden in his heart were all said, and the words Zhuji were more like Li Kuan's reprimand and abuse.
"Bold rebels, dare..." Dragging his exhausted body, Li Daliang finally chased him up, but the soldiers behind him were panicked by Li Kuan's killing, and he had long since dared not to fight with Li Kuan, and he felt cowardly in his heart. .
Li Kuan squinted at Li Daliang, with endless killing intent in his eyes. Just a glance made Li Daliang dare not say anything. He stood still in place, his face full of anger and embarrassment, but he took Li. It's as wide as it is.
"Although I have not raised you, I am the father of your life. This is an unchangeable fact." Li Shimin felt bitter in his heart. "If you kill me, you will be charged with unfaithfulness and unfilial piety, and even your children and grandchildren will be charged. Become a sinner of Datang, and have been carrying infamy since then."
"Don't fucking talk so much nonsense to me!" Li Kuan glared at Li Shimin and roared. He didn't want to continue to talk to Li Shimin. The Tang Taizong in front of him made him very disgusting. Li Kuan didn't want to see him again if he was too damned.
Li Daliang and others dared not speak, and were very angry. Li Shimin also twitched the corners of his mouth and became even more afraid. He is the dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the king of a country. Who would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him? Not only did he not obey his edict, he even dared to kill him, but the man in front of him was still his own son.
When the Xuanwu Gate changed, did the emperor Gaozu feel the same as his own after learning about it? Li Shimin was sad, thinking of the things he had done before, and his heart was full of grief. Only when the same thing happened to him did he realize the heartache of being a father and the failure of being a father.
He used to be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but what does Li Kuan now do
"why?"
Li Shimin frustrated and said his doubts, Li Kuan laughed up to the sky, the rampant laughter made Li Daliang tickled with hatred. After a while, Li Kuan asked resentfully: "Do you think I want the crown prince? Or do you think I am doing it for my own future? Is it surprising why I went to the palace tonight and wanted to kill you?"
Li Shimin was silent, he was indeed puzzled, and he could not deny the doubt that Li Kuan's move was for the throne of the Tang Dynasty.
"The throne is not as good as a fart in my eyes. My future is my fart!" Li Shimin dismissed it, both of which are very important to anyone. But in Li Kuan's heart, he is not as good as a fart. : "Does my mother's death have anything to do with you?"
Suddenly, Li Shimin gave a wry smile. He finally understood why Li Kuan rushed to the palace madly at night, opened his mouth with difficulty, and said, "You all know?"
Li Daliang and others were unclear. Therefore, Li Kuan was angry, he had the answer in his heart, and still felt resentful for the vain mother. He cursed: "Li Shimin, you are in vain as a father, in vain as a son of man, in vain as a husband, what else do you say I am qualified to say that I am my father in front of me? So you are not worthy at all. I personally send you down to see my mother apologize to her and make atonement for what you did back then!"
In all fairness, Li Shimin's contribution to Datang is irreplaceable, and he can be regarded as a benevolent monarch. However, when faced with Li Kuan’s accusation and hatred, Li Shimin seemed to be separated from the world. The high ancestor Emperor Li Yuan and his brother, as well as the smiles of Li Kuan’s biological mother Yang Huilan, burst into his mind. Finally, he came back to look at Li Kuanshi again. The corners of his eyes were wet, and tears slipped quietly.
Li Kuan remained unmoved, the Ming Hong knife in his hand issued a bloodthirsty desire, and instantly came to Li Shimin, raised the knife with a cold smile, and slashed it down. (End of this chapter)
