The silver cup exploded, wine slurry burst out, and the light of the sword and the shadow of the ax and the sword were cold.

As Li Shimin threw a cup as a signal, Chai Shao, who had already been ambushing outside the Mingde Hall, led three hundred elite swordsmen and axemen from all directions and poured into the hall, blocking all entrances and exits and surrounding Li Changqing.

At the same time, Changsun Shunde also led Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Liang and other eighteen generals with astonishing force to surround Li Shimin to protect his safety.

Everyone was on high alert and stared at Li Changqing.

They had to be nervous, because the person they were going to kill today was the most brave man in the Tang Dynasty, King Wu Li Changqing!

Even Li Shimin's palms were sweating because of excitement!

Li Changqing looked up at Li Shimin, who had a ferocious expression, and said calmly:

"Do you want to kill me?"

The voice was smooth, and no emotion could be heard.

It was just a pair of eyes, but they were bone-chilling!

Li Shimin subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at the figure that he was extremely familiar with and extremely fearful of surrounded by everyone. He said in a deep voice:

"Sixth brother, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and one country cannot tolerate two masters. This has been the truth since ancient times. Now that the Tang Dynasty has been settled and all the barbarians are at peace, for the sake of the stability of the world, I have no choice but to kill you!"

The matter has come to this, and it has already been seen.

Li Changqing was sitting at the table. Facing such a shocking turn of events, his expression was still neither sad nor happy. He turned the wine bottle in his hand and said:"One year ago, the Turks twenty-five Ten thousand troops are approaching Chang'an, but you look panicked when you see me. If I guess correctly, you would have forced the palace and imprisoned my father by then. Father is afraid that I will kill you, and would rather be imprisoned than tell me the truth.

You used the excuse that your father is seriously ill and led me to Chang'an just for today.

Li Shimin did not deny it, and said with a ferocious expression:"That's right!" A year ago, I forced the palace to rebel! But you have to know that it’s not that I want to rebel, it’s you, Li Changqing, who forced all this!

Your achievements shocked the world, and you were awarded the title of"King of Side by Side". Everyone in the world knows that there is King Wu in Youzhou, but they don't know that there is an emperor in Chang'an! This king has no choice but to rebel!

Due to the large number of troops under your command, even if I succeed in forcing the palace, I will not dare to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor!

Now, you have 410,000 troops. If I don't take action, there will be no chance at all.

The expression on his face gradually softened,"Father Huanglong is in good health. You don't need to worry. Being seriously ill is just an excuse for me to lure you here."

At that time, Yuan Ba ​​was provoked and stimulated by his fourth brother Yuan Ji. He rushed to Hulao Pass alone and monopolized Dou Jiande's 150,000 troops. After you learned the news, you immediately led three thousand elite dragon riders to help.

Now, after hearing that my father was seriously ill, he immediately rushed thousands of miles to attack his sixth brother. He valued love and righteousness. I admire him very much!

But you absolutely shouldn’t, absolutely shouldn’t be titled King of Side by Side! You are the king, and your words are the imperial edict, no matter where you are, I am the king!"

Li Changqing sat at the desk from beginning to end, looking at Li Shimin with eyes as calm as water, and said:"You, me, Xiuning, and Yuanba, the four of us have been close since childhood.

At the foot of Beiqi Mountain, Yang Su, the former Sui patron king, led five groups of troops to ambush the few men, who then fought alone until they reached a desperate situation. You are not afraid of life and death, and lead eight thousand Xuanjia troops to come to the rescue.

In the battle to destroy Wagang Village, Li Mi led his troops to surrender. Ignoring my father's orders, I killed Li Mi among thousands of troops. My father is furious. You kneel down and beg for three days to plead for me.

In the battle to capture Chang'an, I was the vanguard and led 5,000 heavily armored guards to attack the city. Under the rain of arrows, you blocked three arrows for me, and my heart and lungs were almost pierced.

Although you and I are not related by blood, I always regard you as my brother.

But now, second brother, you have changed, you have become so strange, you have become completely unknown to me.

For the sake of power, you actually forced the palace to imprison the emperor, and even set up a Hongmen Banquet to kill me. You have let me down so much!"

Li Changqing's plain statement stung Li Shimin's nerves.

He was filled with anger and said hysterically:"You and your father forced all this!"

"This king is the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty! Direct bloodline of the Li family, the biological son of the father!

But he has the idea of ​​​​creating an emperor's grandson, and even calls you the"One Side King"!

If I, the king, do not take the initiative to attack, wouldn’t all this country and country be in your hands!

If it weren't for you, this king would surely achieve great success in the future. Why would he need to kill his brother and imprison his father? Why should he rebel and force the palace?"

Hearing this, Li Changqing looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. The loud sound shook the dust from the beams in the hall.

"It's ridiculous that I think I'm not an elder brother, but I think I've been close to you since childhood. Even though I have doubts in my heart, I've never been wary of you. But I never thought that after all, it is power that confuses people the most.

He looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes and said word by word:"Li Shimin, you should ask yourself." I conquered half of the country for the Tang Dynasty, destroyed the Turks in Langjuxu Mountain, promoted the power of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and frightened the Yi and Di from all directions. Do you deserve the position of a side by side king!"

"Worth it!"

Li Shimin didn't flinch at all and replied without hesitation,"The merits of the sixth brother shocked the past and the present!

But one country cannot tolerate two masters. Now the common people in the world only know King Wu but not the Emperor!

Sixth brother, I know you have no intention of becoming emperor, but your advisers and generals really don’t want to be ministers of the dragon!

You may be able to suppress their thoughts.

But if you wait a hundred years from now and the next king is King Bingjian, will you really be willing to have one country and two emperors, and be willing to share the country with the emperor?

The word"King Side by Side" is the biggest hidden danger of the Tang Dynasty! For the eternal peace of the Tang Dynasty, my second brother asks you to die today!"

Li Shimin's words were righteous and impeccable.

He felt much relieved after he expressed the pressure that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"Hahahaha, what the second brother said is so righteous!"

Li Changqing laughed three times and looked at Li Shimin with a look full of disdain and ridicule.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes changed, his face was extremely majestic, and the endless power of the emperor swept out.

The three hundred swordsmen and axemen in the Mingde Hall stepped back one after another. He took a few steps back and looked at him warily with weapons in hand.

Eighteen generals stopped in front of Li Shimin to prevent him from violently injuring anyone.

"The second brother must have deceived himself with his words! When I am here, the barbarians and Di from all over the world will bow their heads and become their subjects. If there were no such people, the country of Tang Dynasty would immediately be shaken and swayed by wind and rain!"_To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
