Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

After Li Chengqian handed the tablet to Hou Junji, he suddenly kicked Li Tai.

"You! You dare to hit me!!" Li Tai got up and glared at Li Chengqian.

"I am the prince, the king, and you are just a prince, a subject. Is it not okay for the king to beat the subject?"

"You!!" Li Tai was so angry that he couldn't say a word because it was the truth.

"I am still your eldest brother. It is only natural for an elder brother to beat his younger brother. I am teaching you a lesson on behalf of my mother."

After saying that, Li Chengqian stopped talking nonsense and went straight forward to punch him again.

Li Tai would not surrender, he dodged the punch, but...

puff!

The punch landed solidly on his chubby face.

Then....

Heheheha!

"Stop, stop, help, father, help!"

Inside the hall, Li Shimin just watched this scene quietly without any expression.

Changsun Wuji was a little anxious, and other ministers who supported Li Tai were all giving advice to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, it is disgraceful for the Crown Prince to openly assault the Prince!"

"Your Majesty, this is the Taiji Palace, quickly tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stop..."

In the face of the advice of court officials, Li Shimin did not respond at all and just watched Li Chengqian beat Li Tai.

Seeing Li Shimin's attitude, all the officials understood that he was using the crown prince to warn the King of Wei.

They thought of the attack on the prince yesterday.

Although there was no evidence, everyone knew that it was the King of Wei who ordered it.

In other words, Your Majesty is on the side of the Crown Prince.

At least for now, there is no intention to change the crown prince, even if the crown prince has rebelled...

Li Shimin's attitude made some court officials who favored Li Tai re-examine their attitudes.

In addition, Li Jing, who has never participated in political affairs, has also stood on the side of the prince, so this is a big deal.

Could it be that Your Majesty instructed Li Jing to support the Crown Prince?

There is also Cheng Yaojin, who seems to be all bossy and dares to scold and offend anyone, but in fact he is just a non-stick pan.

Even people like this are on the side of the prince. Is this really going to change the world?

Changsun Wuji's face looked extremely ugly at this time. He was caught off guard by Li Shimin's attitude towards Li Chengqian.

Does the person he secretly supports still have a chance?

Fang Xuanling was also worried because his son had completely sided with the King of Wei.

If the King of Wei is overthrown, then wouldn't his Fang family suffer as well? !

Outside the hall, the scene of the elder brother beating his younger brother continued.

Li Tai was beaten black and blue, and wailed continuously, but no one stepped forward to stop him.

It was not until Li Taibei stopped fighting that Li Shimin slowly said, "That's enough, Cheng Qian. After all, he is your brother!"

Li Chengqian kicked Li Tai's fat body aside and strode into the hall.

"Your Majesty, please address me as Prince in public."

At this time, the court officials also noticed Li Chengqian's walking posture.

The prince's lameness was healed overnight!

Could it be that you were just pretending before?

But why?

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and stared at Li Chengqian: "I gave you your flesh and blood, and I also gave you your status. Do I need your consent to call you something?"

Li Chengqian walked closer and looked Li Shimin in the eye: "My flesh and blood were given by my mother, not by you."

The court officials were completely at a loss.

What happened to this father and son?

Doesn’t Your Majesty still have high hopes for the Crown Prince?

But why is their conversation so confrontational? This doesn't make sense!

Li Chengqian continued, "It doesn't matter whether you are worthy or not. I am here to say goodbye to you today."

"Remember, you killed me with your own hands. The throne of the Tang Dynasty will be accompanied by blood and gore from the moment you take over. This is the root of the disaster you have sown."

"History books of later generations will surely record that the final demise of the Tang Dynasty began with you!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he stood up and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Faced with the confrontation between father and son, all the court officials were frightened and fell to their knees.

Is this something they can see?

Can't you two talk in private?

terrible!

Changsun Wuji knelt there with his head lowered, and the expression on his face changed rapidly.

Fang Xuanling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shivered.

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Li Chengqian, the unfilial descendant of the Li family, go downstairs now and ask grandfather and mother what great faults I, the crown prince, have committed that caused father to force me like this."

"Cheng Qian, don't mess around."

Li Chengqian sneered at Li Shimin and said, "This is all your fault. Whoever wants to be the crown prince can be the crown prince. I don't want to play this game anymore."

"Quick, stop the prince, stop him quickly!!"

But even though the ministers and guards reacted quickly, they could not be faster than the Crown Prince who was determined to die.

There was a loud bang and Li Chengqian's head hit a pillar in the hall.

Li Jing and others quickly stepped forward and picked up Li Chengqian.

"Imperial Physician, tell the Imperial Physician quickly!"

Li Shimin sat down on the ground with weak legs: "Why is it so? Why is it so?"

All the court officials stared at this scene in a daze, looking at the blood on the pillar.

This is a real collision!

If a prince is forced to this point, your Majesty's reputation will be ruined if it gets out.

If anyone dares to mention deposing the crown prince at this time, it would be like putting Your Majesty on the fire.

Changsun Wuji’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He knew that his plan had failed, and this collision in public completely consolidated Li Chengqian's position as crown prince.

Coupled with the addition of Li Jing, a big shot, and His Majesty's continued support for the Crown Prince...

After a flurry of diagnosis, the imperial physician was still at a loss as to what to do and knelt there in fear.

Li Jing picked up Li Chengqian's "corpse" with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, His Highness asked me to bring you a message."

Li Shimin still hadn't recovered from his shock and stared blankly at Li Jing.

"Plant melons under the stage, and the melons will ripen and the seeds will fall out."

"Pick once to make the melons better, pick again to make them sparse."

"Pick three times and it's still fine, but pick all but one and carry the vine home."

After saying this, Li Jing held Li Chengqian's "corpse", bowed to Li Shimin, and left the hall with Hou Junji and Cheng Yaojin.

However, everyone is still pondering the meaning of "Huangtai Guaci".

In a dynasty, as long as there is an emperor whose throne is not inherited in the order of succession but is seized, it will become a fire in the hearts of all the royal descendants that will never die out.

Melons are planted under the yellow platform. When the melons are ripe, many more melons grow on the vines.

Picking one melon can make the other melons grow better, and picking another melon will make them look like there are fewer.

If you pick three, there might still be melons, but if you pick all the melons, only the vines will be left.

Your Majesty's throne was obtained through Xuanwu Gate. If the successor is not the eldest son, the crown prince will ascend the throne.

Then all future generations will follow this pattern and the fight will continue until one dies.

Li Shimin murmured: "Pick once to make the melons better, pick again to make the melons sparse. Pick three times and it's still okay, pick all but one and carry the vines home..."

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, father. Now I understand how difficult it was for you back then..."
