Chapter 398 The overall situation has been decided

Xie Yi came, and it was very sudden, and it was a bit surprising!

Especially Li Chengqian, Hou Junji, Du He and others, they knew clearly that reinforcements had arrived, but they never thought that the person who came would be Xie Yi, but the other Yulin Guards arranged by the emperor, how could it be the Duke of Huaiyang County?

And at the first time, Hou Junji had already recognized that the people who appeared in the Eastern Palace were not the serious Yulin Guards of the court, nor did they come from the army of the Sixteen Guards, but they were more like retainers of the Xie family.

At the critical moment of rebellion, Xie Yi brought his retainers to the East Palace to protect the emperor. What happened?

In an instant, Hou Junji realized that the calmness and calmness mentioned in the previous emperor's writings were completely pretending. Today's affairs were not expected by the emperor, and there was no advance arrangement. It was just that Xie Yi saw through the initiative.

It’s just that when the emperor was trapped in the East Palace, even if Xie Yi saw through the inside story, he could lead people to the East Palace to rescue him. But how did he mobilize his troops?

The shouts of killing outside the Eastern Palace are an indisputable fact. It must be because a certain army from the Sixteen Guards came to rush for help. Without the emperor's instructions, the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall could mobilize their troops in such a short time?

What was going on? For a moment, Hou Junji was a little confused!

Prince Li Chengqian's face looked even more ugly. He never expected that his perfect arrangement would be defeated by Xie Yi, and he ruined his good deeds again.

This feeling of frustration is quite uncomfortable. Perhaps if the father had learned everything in advance, he might feel more comfortable if he fell into the trap.

After all, he is the father, the wise and powerful Emperor Tian Khan, and Li Chengqian still respects his father from the bottom of his heart. But what is Xie Yi? He is just a young man of his age, and he is also a minister. Why should he jump above him?

Yes. On the ground, he was the prince of the East Palace, but he lost to Xie Yi in terms of wisdom and situational strategy, a person who was not very lucky. What's more, his relationship with him was not very good, and he repeatedly ruined his good things. This time, at the most critical moment, his appearance once again put him in a great dilemma. He is likely to fail because of this.

And if this failure fails, it will be different from the past, and it will lose its life. So Li Chengqian really hates him, why is it him again?

In an instant, Li Chengqian even had a sudden whim. Perhaps the Huayin attack that had troubled him for a long time was not done by others, nor was it the deliberate younger brother Li Tai. Judging from today's situation, it is very likely that Xie Yi, the Duke of Huaiyang County, was in front of him.

So in an instant, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth in hatred.

However, Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, was full of joy at this moment. After Xie Yi and many masters of the Xie family entered the Eastern Palace, they quickly joined the battle group and protected themselves in the middle.

Xie Yi even walked up and pulled herself to her side with a long sword in his hand. When the gentle big hand held her little hand, the little princess suddenly felt like a deer bumping around. Maybe it was because she was frightened just now, or maybe it was because Xie Yi's tall and straight figure suddenly gave her a strong sense of security.

Anyway, when Xie Yi was standing beside her, her horror disappeared without a trace, but a different kind of gratitude. She even felt a little moved and uncontrollable attachment. She subconsciously held Xie Yi's hand and grabbed Brother Xiaoyao's clothes. As long as he was in front of her, even if there were thousands of troops in front of her, the sword light and sword shadow would be completely fearless.

At this moment, his side is undoubtedly the safest place in the world.

When Li Shimin saw Xie Yi, he breathed a little relieved, and then heard the shouts of killing from outside. He felt relieved.

It should be that the army of the Zuo Wu Guard arrived. Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang had told him before that he had no time to pay attention to the issue of falsely circulating imperial edicts and privately dispatching troops. What is important is that Cheng Zhijie's army will arrive and control the situation as soon as possible and prevent the situation from deteriorating.

Xie Yi's appearance directly ensured the safety of himself and his daughter. It was ridiculous to think about it. When the prince of the Eastern Palace rebelled, he was ineffective as the emperor and had to rely on a minister to bring his family and generals to rescue him.

"Protect Your Majesty and the Princess!" With Xie Yi's order, the Xie family entourage led by Ye Bei quickly joined the battle group. As a new force, their combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the Yulin Guard to some extent.

Alas! Xie Yi was helpless. In fact, what he didn't want to show off this kind of limelight was to some extent, which was equivalent to exposing his true power to the emperor. It was definitely not a good thing for him. Afterwards, the emperor was suspicious, but the situation is now critical and he didn't care about so much for the time being.

In this way, the Eastern Palace's dead soldiers naturally could not immediately hurt Li Shimin and Princess Jinyang, and could only watch as they lost little by little.

Moreover, the war at the entrance of the East Palace did not seem to go smoothly. When Du He was covered in blood and stumbled in with Li Anyan, their failure was declared to some extent.

Zuo Tun Guard is indeed an elite, but it seems to be a little bit inferior to Zuo Wu Guard. What's more important is morale. Most of the soldiers of Zuo Tun Guard act according to orders and don't know what they are going to do before they go out. After entering the Eastern Palace, they know that they are going to rebel or kill the monarch. Most of them are actually repulsive and resisting.

They were just temporarily acting reluctantly under the agitation, temptation, or even coercion of the generals. When the army of the Zuowu Guard arrived, their morale suddenly dissipated. Especially when Cheng Zhijie rode on a high-headed horse, shouting loudly made them very afraid, and subconsciously gave in.

After all, Cheng Zhijie was a general of the dynasty, and his reputation was well known. When his might was revealed, how could the soldiers not be afraid? Especially the truth of the prince's rebellion became clearer, and it seemed that he was doomed to fail. What would happen if he continued to resist stubbornly?

The soldiers are all smart people. They don’t want to be pushed to the guillotine as rebels, and then they will also implicate their families. Now that they put down their weapons, they can be considered unaware of them and repent in time, the situation is naturally completely different.

Originally, Du He and Li Anyan could still stabilize the situation, but when they were injured, the situation completely changed. Even if Hou Junji immediately brought his generals and the Sixth Order of the East Palace to support him, it was still useless.

Even if he is a famous general in the world, Hou Junji has no power to turn the world to the sky at this moment. His army has dispersed and his people's hearts are very obvious. In such a situation, it is impossible for a peerless general to win. So he could only watch the army of the Zuo Wu Guard enter the East Palace.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian was unable to control Li Shimin. Xie Yi and Xie family entourage appeared in time to block the siege of the dead soldiers of the East Palace. Then Li Chengqian saw a person, and he saw Hegan Chengji, and a problem that troubled him was solved.

When the Eastern Palace was surrounded by the guards of Zuotun, how could Xie Yi enter the Eastern Palace so quickly? Now this problem is solved. Who else is more familiar with the terrain and defense of the Eastern Palace than Hegan Chengji?

Not only that, it is said that the news of his rebellion was also leaked by Hegan Chengji. Li Chengqian did not know that Xie Yi was ahead of time. He had already inferred it first.

At this time, the defeated prince felt very sad. He was betrayed by his closest confidant, so it was of course not easy to live.

"Hegan, you... I misread you after all!"

"Your Highness, my subordinates deserve to die..." Hegan Chengji knelt down on the ground with a pounce, never looking up at Li Chengqian. Maybe he felt speechless to the old master, he just sobbed silently, as if he was extremely sad.

At this time, Cheng Zhijie had already led the army of the Zuo Wu Guard to rush into the Eastern Palace. Hou Junji, Du He and Li Anyan and other main culprits were first controlled, and then the soldiers of the Zuo Wu Guard surrounded His Royal Highness without hesitation, but did not dare to offend further.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor has not spoken yet. At this moment, Li Chengqian is still the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty...

"My teacher Cheng Zhijie is late to protect the emperor. Please forgive me!"

With the shout of Cheng Zhijie, the general of the Left Wu Guard, the Duke of Lu, the mutiny of the East Palace rebellion was declared to be unsuccessful.

"It's time for Zhijie to come. What's the crime?" Li Shimin walked forward, his tense expression relaxed a lot, but he was still serious and majestic. He was still the supreme Emperor.

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Cheng Zhijie was already a little confused. When he saw that the Xie Yi and the entourages of the Xie family were protecting Li Shimin, he found the suspicion when he was too thin.

Logically speaking, if His Majesty the Emperor had made arrangements, then the Yulin Guard would have come first to protect the emperor. How could it be Xie Yi? Could it be... But the edict was obviously true, and I am sure.

What happened? Cheng Zhijie was a little confused for the time being, but it seemed to be no longer important now, because His Majesty the Emperor had taken over the conversation and had already recognized his behavior, which was enough.

"Your Majesty, what should all the people do?" Cheng Zhijie asked in a low voice.

Li Shimin looked up and glanced coldly over everyone. First, Hou Junji, Du He, and finally Li Chengqian. The process was a little long. Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor was not in a good mood.

At this moment, a series of rapid footsteps sounded at the entrance of the East Palace, and the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, as well as King Li Tai, the King of Wei, and others rushed over. But in this situation, there was a bit of a late arrival.

"I am waiting for the protection of the escort to come late, please give up the crime!"

When the same words appeared, Li Shimin did not respond quickly, nor did he give a remark about He Jiuzhiyou. Instead, he was silent. After a long silence, he said lightly: "Get up!"

"Your Majesty (Father), are you all right?"

"I'm fine!" Li Shimin's answer was very indifferent. He was talking about the truth. He was indeed not physically injured and was safe and sound. But his heart was already full of holes at this moment, so this answer was both realistic and verbal and wrong. People present could more or less understand the sad mood.

After confirming that Li Shimin was in good health, the prime ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Tai couldn't resist the slightest disappointment. The father was not dead, so it would be the best if he had completely followed his previous ideas. But now, this result is a little disappointing.

Especially the Crown Prince Li Chengqian was not dead either. Although he is likely to be sentenced to death next, not dying immediately is not a good sign.

However, he is already a prisoner, and his identity as a crown prince will never exist. This result gives some comfort.

Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian inadvertently, without any sympathy for his prince, but no hatred. Instead, he had a complicated mood of ridicule, ridicule, and even a hint of gratitude. Then he was proud, the prince fell, and the East Palace naturally should be replaced with a new master. Who does it belong to?

only……

When Li Tai glanced at Xie Yi, he frowned slightly. It would have been so perfect if it weren't for him. But now, he has stolen all the limelight and is even qualified to stand with his father...

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenben and others were in a complicated mood at this moment. The rebellion was temporarily stabilized and the emperor was safe and sound. This was the best solution.

But the matter was obviously not over, and even the most troublesome thing had just begun, their eyes flew over the prince Li Chengqian involuntarily. Unfortunately, regret, and more complicated emotions came to my mind. How could such an excellent crown prince have come to what he is now?

All of these are meaningless now. When he was preparing to plan this rebellion, some things were already destined. Killing the lord and the father, committing rebellion, is too great, and the position of the prince will definitely be lost. Whether his life can be saved is also a big question.

The most troublesome thing is that the prince has fallen. So who should inherit the position of crown prince in the Tang Dynasty? The country is not established and the world is uneasy. They know the truth that this is the most clear.

How to deal with Li Chengqian and what should be the position of the crown prince? These are all very difficult and troublesome issues that will be difficult to think about.

Now it seems that the rain has passed, but in fact, the storm may still be behind, and it may be even more violent...

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin ordered: "Cheng Zhijie, you should immediately join Li Daozong to take over the troops in the entire Chang'an City, and then search for those who were plotting against the East Palace."

"Yes!" With specific instructions, Cheng Zhijie immediately accepted the order.

Li Shimin continued: "Sun Fujia, all the criminals were taken to Dali Temple, waiting for trial."

"Yes!" Several hot potatoes were thrown over. Although they were reluctant, Sun Fujia still had to continue obediently, but he was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Prince..."

Li Chengqian's identity as a prince is still there, so it is inevitable that he will be troublesome to do things...

Li Shimin immediately said: "The text is to announce the world to abolish the position of Prince Li Chengqian, and submit it to the Youzi to investigate his crimes!"
