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

Everyone knows that Your Majesty does not like the Crown Prince and has given too much favor to the King of Wei.

With the Xuanwu Gate Incident in mind, they all seemed to understand why the prince wanted to rebel.

The prince is just protecting himself!

But what can they do?

Things have come to this, there is nothing we can do!

Unless the crown prince can inherit the throne.

But.....

Hey!

It really fulfills the saying that those who start a calamity will have no descendants...

Although the people did not know some of the inside stories, they saw the prince's grief and anger and associated it with the fratricide in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

I feel sympathy for the crown prince Li Chengqian...

Li Chengqian limped and climbed up to the execution ground clumsily.

Hou Junji stiffened his neck and shouted, "Your Highness, please leave immediately. Things have come to this point. This old minister is not worthy of you doing this."

After Li Chengqian climbed onto the stage with great effort, he first cut the ropes that tied Hou Junji, and then put the knife directly on his neck.

"As long as I'm here, you can't die."

Then he looked at Li Shimin in the audience and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't pardon Hou Junji's death sentence, kill me first."

The father and son just stared at each other, and no one dared to speak at this time.

Seeing that no one spoke for him, Li Chengqian sneered: "So what if I'm alone, so what if there's no one behind me?"

"Hou Junji is a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be killed!"

"Since I cannot gain His Majesty's favor while I am alive, I will use my life to exchange for the lives of the meritorious officials of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin quickly stopped him: "Cheng Qian, don't mess around."

Hou Junji wept bitterly and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I..."

Li Chengqian helped Hou Junji up: "Duke Chen, please stand up. Right and wrong will be judged by the public, and justice is in the hearts of the people."

"Even high mountains have their own paths for travelers, and even deep waters have their own ferries for people. Our destiny is in our own hands. Only if we survive can we move forward."

"Remember, your original intention never fades with age, and your struggle will always be like that of your youth. Duke Chen, you still have a long way to go."

Hou Junji's face was full of tears, and he bowed down: "I will remember this!"

Everyone seemed to be thinking about something. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words were thought-provoking!

Li Jing looked at Li Chengqian on the stage with sharp eyes, thinking that his son was also implicated in this rebellion.

Although he was not sentenced to death, he was exiled thousands of miles away.

What a disaster!

Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others looked at each other, all with shock in their eyes.

When did the prince have such literary talent and always speak words that warn the world?

Changsun Wuji fell into deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Li Tai felt more and more urgency, as if his cooked duck was about to fly away.

Li Shimin was also stunned when he looked at the two people on the stage. The prince had really grown up.

At the same time, he became more and more certain that the crown prince should not be replaced.

It’s not because of Li Chengqian’s performance, but because of the sentence “Will the one who first made burial mounds of clay have no descendants?”

The Xuanwu Gate Incident must be stopped in the next generation. The succession to the throne of the Tang Dynasty must not be accompanied by bloodshed.

After Li Chengqian comforted Hou Junji, he looked at the audience again.

"Li Desai, the son of the Duke of Wei, did not participate in the rebellion, but was implicated. I hope Your Majesty will pardon his crime."

Li Jing was stunned!

Gratitude flashed in his eyes, but was quickly hidden.

He has always been cautious and cautious, and he really doesn't want to be involved in rebellion again.

He just sighed silently without saying anything.

Li Tai's eyes narrowed and he thought to himself, something bad is going to happen.

If Li Chengqian really wants to protect Li Desai, Li Jing might be won over.

This is not a good sign.

Although Li Jing has not been involved in political affairs for a long time, he still has a high prestige in the Tang army! !

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian on the stage in shock.

He really didn't expect that at this time, the prince was still thinking about winning over the ministers in the court.

What is he going to do?

Do you want to reverse it? !

As for Li Shimin, he originally wanted to give Li Jing face.

The key point is that Li Desai did not participate in the rebellion, but no one stood up to plead for him.

At this time Li Chengqian took the initiative to say, then give us a way out!

"I promise you, put the knife down first."

Li Chengqian still held the knife: "No, you haven't pardoned Hou Junji's death sentence yet."

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, and finally sighed deeply: "I promise you, but Hou Junji can be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape the punishment of life. All his official positions and titles will be removed, and he will be demoted to a commoner."

boom! ! !

Everyone looked at Li Shimin in shock!

The crime of treason was let off so easily?

Doesn't Your Majesty care about the prince's crime of treason? !

Li Tai's face had turned terribly dark at this point, and he could no longer continue watching the show.

"Father, now that things have come to this, the Crown Prince's crime of treason cannot be ignored..."

Li Shimin shouted sternly: "Shut up and leave."

"Father!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Looking at Li Shimin's murderous eyes, Li Tai gritted his teeth and had to retreat for the time being.

Li Chengqian got a satisfactory answer and felt a little relieved.

Hou Junji was definitely captured, but saving Li Desai might not necessarily impress the great god Li Jing.

So he still held the knife to his neck and was about to walk down the execution platform with Hou Junji.

Li Shimin quickly waved his hand to let the guards retreat: "Don't move, don't hurt the prince."

After hearing this, Li Tai's face turned even darker.

Crown Prince, in his heart, father still recognizes your eldest brother as the Crown Prince!

This good brother of mine actually took advantage of everyone's sympathy. Could it be that he really let him escape this disaster?

The key is the father's current attitude...

The other ministers were also thoughtful. It seemed that His Majesty still had feelings for the Crown Prince. It seemed that they had to be cautious about defecting to the King of Wei.

Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were also thoughtful.

Could it be that the matter of the crown prince's rebellion has really been put to rest?

Li Chengqian brought Hou Junji to Li Shimin, but his eyes were looking at Li Jing behind the crowd.

"Duke Weiguo, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Everyone was stunned!

They saw that Li Jing didn't want to get involved, but the prince took the initiative to get close to him!

Li Jing frowned and looked at Li Shimin.

"Pharmacist, please go and talk with the prince!"

Li Jing sighed, clasped his hands and said, "I obey your order."

Li Chengqian left with two powerful Tang Dynasty generals, Hou Junji and Li Jing, followed by three of Li Jing's personal guards.

"Zhijie, take your men and follow them to watch. Don't let the prince do anything stupid." Li Shimin ordered, looking at their backs.

Cheng Yaojin was stunned. Why call him at this time? Couldn't he just call the commander of the guards?

"Why, you don't want to go?"

Facing Li Shimin's questioning, Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to bow and say, "I understand. I will never let the prince suffer any harm."

Li Chengqian was followed by Hou Junji and Li Jing, and behind him were Cheng Yaojin and a group of guards.

Everyone made way for them, as if they were forcing back a plague god, and watched the group of people leave the execution ground...
