"Protect His Highness."
Although Li Junxian was able to stop Cheng Yaojin, he had to use all his strength. It was really redundant to fight like this when facing his own people. As long as Li Xiang was not here, Cheng Yaojin would not go crazy. Li Xiang was the only one around who was his enemy, and no one else was.
A bunch of imperial guards came out, and Li Xiang was even more certain that this matter was premeditated. Otherwise, how could there be so many imperial guards at such a shabby construction site? Cheng Yaojin was also here to put on a show.
"Cheng Yaojin, I will avenge this vengeance today."
Li Xiang's acting skills were also on display at this moment. Although he had been stuffed into the carriage, he still stuck his head out of the window and shouted at Cheng Yaojin.
"You bastard, I'll kill you."
Cheng Yaojin shouted and knocked away several imperial guards around him, and then an axe flew out. Fortunately, his aim was not very good. If his aim was good, he could have killed Li Xiang.
The axe was directly inserted into the tree trunk. Judging from the force just now, it was really fatal. Fortunately, Li Xiang's men ran faster. If they had run a little slower, Li Xiang would definitely be covered in blood on the spot.
"Father……"
The two brothers Cheng Chuliang were really confused. They didn't understand why their father was so angry. Although their father seemed reckless in doing things, everything he did was carefully calculated. Now he was so angry and did such a heinous thing. Even if the emperor took care of Cheng Yaojin, you chased and killed the Prince of Chengping in the street, which was a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of your family.
"Get out of here! If you're afraid of death, I'm not. I'll follow you to the throne room right now. Even if I get a big scar on my head, I really don't believe it. At worst, Li Er will kill me."
Using this name directly in front of so many people, let alone Cheng Yaojin, even some of Li Shimin's teachers at that time would probably not dare to say this. The faces of the people around him changed drastically. It seemed that Cheng Yaojin was really angry.
"Catch me, my lord, for your disrespect."
Li Junxian was also angry at this moment. You are yelling in front of so many people. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude to you, otherwise I will be unable to wear this hat firmly. If Li Shimin finds out, it will be regarded as treason.
Cheng Yaojin's personal soldiers were not afraid either. They had all followed Cheng Yaojin to fight on the battlefield. If they took a step back at this moment, they would be damned. They all drew their swords. Even if they were guarded in the center by the imperial guards, these people had nothing to fear. There were swords and sabers on the battlefield, and your few people were nothing. What's more, those who came back from the front line looked down upon those who guarded the palace gates for the emperor the most.
"Cheng Yaojin, do you dare to rebel?"
Li Junxian was also angry at this moment. Everyone knew that you, Cheng Yaojin, were a tough guy, but you dared to draw your sword against the emperor's men. This was unique in the entire Chang'an City and even in the Tang Empire. Even those people from the Five Surnames and Seven Families only dared to act in secret. Who dared to confront you head-on?
"I……"
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was about to shout out those words, if he shouted it out, then even if the emperor gave him face, he would never keep him. The two sons blocked Cheng Yaojin's mouth from the left and right, and their cooperation was perfect.
"You two bastards..."
Cheng Yaojin swung his body hard and threw both sons to the ground. When he was about to shout, the people around him made way for him. It turned out that General Li Jing had arrived.
Li Shimin also knew the situation here. He also knew that Cheng Yaojin would dare to fight anyone when he got angry, so he had no choice but to invite General Li Jing. In the entire Chang'an City, there were only two people that Cheng Yaojin did not dare to fight, one was the emperor of the time, and the other was General Li Jing.
When he saw General Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin was like a deflated ball, but his face was still full of indignation. It seemed that he really felt sorry for his daughter. Anyone would probably have the same idea. He had a good daughter who was very famous in Chang'an City. Now that Li Xiang had made such a fuss about her, how could she get married in the future?
"Put away all the knives."
General Li Jing was the military god of the Tang Dynasty. His words were very effective. No matter whether they were palace guards or Cheng Yaojin's men, they all put away their swords. However, these people had no intention of giving in and still stood where they were.
"Follow me into the palace."
General Li Jing threw down a few words and left immediately. No one here dared to continue making trouble. This was his reputation.
Everything was planned by Li Shimin, and the rumor was also spread by Li Shimin with only one purpose, which was to alienate the relationship between Li Xiang and the generals in the army.
It can be seen from the last meeting that the generals in the army attach great importance to Li Xiang's opinions. People like Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin are all useful ministers. If they all go to Li Xiang's side, Li Shimin probably won't dare to close his eyes at night. If there is another Xuanwu Gate Incident, he will have to become the emperor in the harem in the future. He doesn't want to give up the power in his hands. He is enjoying being the emperor now.
According to Li Shimin, after this incident, the relationship between the two sides would definitely deteriorate, but he did not expect Cheng Yaojin to react so strongly. He did things that could lead to his death. First, he destroyed the construction site of the Prince's Mansion, and then fought with Li Xiang. If Li Junxian had not rushed out, according to the men in black under Li Shimin, Li Xiang would have been beheaded at this moment.
Li Shimin still had sweat on his head at this time. He only wanted to weaken Li Xiang's strength, but he didn't want to cause any harm to Li Xiang. After all, in Li Shimin's heart, Li Xiang was still the most suitable successor. It was just that his development was a little too fast. If he pruned the side branches a little, but the main trunk was broken, it would be a loss.
According to the description of his men in black, Li Shimin also knew that everything at that time was true, and Cheng Yaojin was the one with a hot temper. Although he has restrained himself a lot now, he used to be a bandit. Moreover, he had just returned from the battlefield and had killed many people under his command. It was normal for him to be careless when doing things.
"Your Majesty, our Lord Changsun has arrived, and he's crying."
Wang De came in hurriedly from outside. Li Shimin frowned. Was he shooting himself in the foot again this time?
