Chapter 29 What¡¯s the point of regretting having a child like this!
"Hou Junji has been awarded the title of head, and you will descend quickly!"
Li Zhen raised Hou Junji¡¯s head and shouted to the sky.
At this moment, Li Zhen, dressed in golden armor, looked like a god descending to earth to rule over the world!
"I am willing to surrender!"
Those soldiers from the Western Regions who were attacking the city collapsed instantly after losing their command when they saw that Hou Junji was dead.
I don¡¯t know who screamed, but a moment later, hundreds of soldiers knelt down on the ground.
Seeing that the situation was over, the soldiers in the East Palace also knelt down one after another.
These extra soldiers brought by Hou Junji and the soldiers from the East Palace are the core of the rebels, and the rest of the rebels are just following the tide.
Seeing that all the soldiers who were charging forward surrendered, tens of thousands of rebel soldiers lost their courage, and a large number of Hu Lala fell to their knees.
Li Zhen felt so happy and thought that the limelight was so great that I actually killed the famous general Hou Junji with my own hands! Who can stand me? !
Li Zhen held Hou Junji's head and asked everyone to step back a hundred steps. Li Zhen came to the Xuanwu Gate alone and shouted loudly: "Kaicheng, I am Li Zhen, the king of Yue. The rebel army has surrendered. I want to see my father!"
On the top of the city, Li Jing stroked his beard with a look of relief when he saw the scene of Li Zhen killing Hou Junji.
"I never expected that Li Zhen, who was usually not well-known, would have such courage. After all, he was the heir of the emperor, so he was indeed different. Li Zhen rode alone to save the enemy, which was quite similar to the heroic demeanor of the emperor when he was on the battlefield.
This King of Yue will definitely be as astonishing as Emperor Li Shimin in the future.
"Kaicheng!" Li Jing shouted.
¡°Creak, creak¡¡±
With the sound of the city gate pushing, the Xuanwu Gate opened wide. Li Zhen rode the black horse, held Hou Junji's head, and entered the Xuanwu Gate with his head held high.
At the top of the Xuanwu Gate, after the imperial doctor gave emergency treatment to the wound, Li Shimin slowly opened his eyes.
I just happened to see Li Zhen kill Hou Junji and put down the rebels.
At this moment, Li Shimin was extremely happy.
¡°For a long time, Li Shimin only regarded Li Zhen as a child, and since Li Zhen was a commoner, she usually didn¡¯t show anything outstanding.
He is not as heroic as the King of Wu, nor as talented as the King of Wei. Therefore, Li Shimin never thought about Li Zhen when it came to the succession to the throne.
But today, when the building was about to collapse and the Tang Empire was at a critical moment of life and death, it was Li Zhen who stood up.
Li Shimin had thought about many outcomes, but he did not expect that in the end it would be this outcome. Li Zhen only brought eighteen warriors to put down the chaos in Chang'an and mend the broken sky!
When Li Zhen came to Li Shimin with Hou Junji's head, a hint of joy finally appeared on Li Shimin's originally stern face.
"Father, I am late to save you, please forgive me!"
Although he saved Li Shimin and made great achievements, Li Zhen knew that the showdown would always have to go. After this night, the situation in Chang'an would undergo earth-shaking changes, and the say in this change lies with his father, Li Shimin. .
Looking at the thin Li Zhen, Li Shimin felt as if he was from another world.
¡°Is this my ordinary son Li Zhen?
He once thought that the most likely person who could save the country like himself was Wu Ke and Li Ke, or maybe the King of Wei Li Tai. He had never thought that he, a concubine, and the ordinary-looking eighth son Li Zhen, who was able to turn the tide when the country was in crisis, was thrown into this exposed sky!
For a moment, Li Shimin had mixed feelings, but he couldn't help but wonder, why is it him?
Li Chengqian rebelled, and he could no longer hold the position of prince. If it were King Li Tai of Wei, King Li Ke of Wu, or the benevolent and weak Li Zhi, he would definitely make him the prince without hesitation.
However, Li Zhen was just the son of an ordinary concubine, not a direct descendant. How could he make him the prince?
If Li Zhen is made the crown prince, will Changsun Wuji accept it? Will Chu Suiliang accept it? Will Shangguan Yi accept it?
Without the support of foreign ministers and not from direct lineage, how could Li Zhen become the crown prince?
But he has accomplished such a great feat, so how should I treat him? Li Shimin seemed to have seen Li Zhen's fate. If he had great achievements, he would be tabooed by his superiors. No matter who became the next emperor, Li Zhen would probably not end well.
Li Shimin is worthy of being an emperor throughout the ages. He thought of many things in an instant. For a moment, he actually forgot to answer Li Zhen's words.
Li Jing on the side seemed to have seen Li Shimin's thoughts, but he did not point it out. Li Jing was the most famous general in the Tang Dynasty, but he never participated in politics. Back then, Li Shimin dealt with Li Jiancheng and wanted to win over Li Jing, but Li Jing refused.
Li Jing thought that he controlled the country's heavy military. If he got involved in politics, the country would be unstable. He was just a soldier, fighting for the country, and did not want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of politics.
Therefore, Li Jing remained silent, which also showed his neutral attitude.
"Hey!" Li Shimin sighed and glanced at Li Zhen. Then he thought about how tonight he had lost his beloved son Li Tai, and his eldest son Li Chengqian had rebelled against him again. For a moment, his heart felt extremely desolate.
"Get up, thanks to you today." There was a trace of helplessness in Li Shimin's voice, which was a feeling of a hero in his twilight years, a kind of loneliness and sadness.
Li Zhen's heart trembled. He didn't understand why Li Shimin had such an attitude towards him. Today, he obviously saved Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin, but why was he so indifferent?
With a change of thought, Li Zhen already understood that Li Shimin was unwilling to treat himself. He was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not turn the tide in times of crisis. It was a kind of helplessness of a hero in his twilight years. Li Shimin broke through the sky with his strength and created a great cause. The era has passed, and he is really unwilling to do so.
"Thank you, Father." Li Zhen stood up.
"Your Majesty, I am late, please forgive me!"
In the distance, Changsun Wuji walked up the city wall to Li Shimin with a sad face.
Changsun Wuji's mansion was burned, so he came all the way to Xuanwu Gate. On the way, he met You Qianniuwei, who was loyal to the royal family and controlled by him, so he led his troops to Xuanwu Gate, but he didn't expect that this rebellion had been crushed by Li Zhen. .
Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji, and felt warm in his heart. Changsun Wuji was the elder brother of the late Empress Changsun, that is, his uncle. He had grown up playing in the mud and had outstanding talents. Therefore, Li Shimin kept promoting Changsun Wuji. Ji, listed him as the first of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and had great trust in him.
Seeing Changsun Wuji coming with his troops to ask for help, Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief, but then he seemed to remember something again and said in a weak voice: "Those who participated in the rebellion tonight will only be punished for the culprits, and those who are coerced will be exempted."
Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly.
Li Shimin said with a solemn face: "Hou Junji rebelled and deserved death, but Cheng Qian was just being used by others, so his life should not be harmed."
Changsun Wuji¡¯s face darkened and he nodded slightly.
"The big thing is over and I'm tired. It's up to you and Zhen'er to deal with the aftermath."
After saying this, Li Shimin seemed to have exhausted all his strength. With the help of several eunuchs, he got into the carriage and drove off the Xuanwu Gate.
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Zhen, an unexpected cold light flashed in his eyes (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
