Chapter 260 I'm tired, and I'm getting old.
Little did he know, he had no chance of returning alive from this trip.
Half an hour passed.
Li Yi, who had fallen to the ground, got up stiffly and stood unsteadily.
Seeing this, Li Jiancheng snapped his fingers.
Li Yi immediately stepped forward, her eyes vacant and lifeless, like a walking corpse.
Two days later.
Chang'an City.
The Imperial Palace.
At this moment, Li Shimin had already received a letter from Li Yi.
His face was gloomy.
He was still clutching the letter Li Yi had given him tightly in his hand.
"Your Highness, what has happened now?"
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji and several others rushed over.
Upon seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face, a sense of foreboding welled up within him.
Who was Li Shimin?
He had never shown such an expression on the battlefield, but now...
Something has obviously happened, and it's something big.
the other side.
Su Yang and the others also rushed over.
Unlike before, this time there were only a few people piloting the mechs.
Han Beisu stayed with them.
However, choosing not to pilot the mecha and staying inside it would indeed cause some trouble.
Therefore, only a portion of the people are needed.
"What happened?"
Su Yang and the others had translators containing all the languages on Earth clipped to their ears.
Regardless of time or place.
As long as a currently deciphered script can be found, it can be translated.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about language barriers.
See for yourself.
Li Shimin slammed the letter on the table.
His face remained frighteningly gloomy.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xuanling picked up the envelope and read it with Changsun Wuji.
It was only a few short lines.
However, this made both of their expressions turn serious.
"What happened?"
Han Bei looked at Fang Xuanling with some curiosity.
What does this letter say?
That could make all three of them look so gloomy.
"Li Jiancheng, turn it on/off."
Fang Xuanling solemnly uttered six words.
"switch?"
Han Bei was stunned for a moment. What pass? That Linyu Pass?
But isn't that the same thing as the one at Shanhaiguan?
Moreover, according to Cheng Yaojin and his companions, there are a large number of exotic tribes from the mountains and seas outside Linyu Pass.
If the switch is indeed the one that opens at Linyu Pass.
Wouldn't those foreign tribes then invade and dominate the Central Plains, and then constantly feed on the people?
If that's really the case.
Then, it will definitely be another hell on earth.
"Is Li Yi planning a rebellion?"
Su Yang remained relatively calm, after all, he knew about history.
Although this world has a different history from theirs, there shouldn't be any major problems in finding a way out.
Historically.
After Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin, Li Yi, fearing Li Shimin's retaliation, chose to rebel.
at this point.
It fits perfectly with the present.
"No, this letter was delivered by Li Yi."
Fang Xuanling shook his head, his expression grave.
Li Yi at this moment.
They have probably already met with a vicious attack.
Even if he was Li Jiancheng's confidant, the other party would never tolerate his subordinates repeatedly questioning his choices.
Moreover, ascending the throne had always been Li Jiancheng's wish.
Such a strong desire almost became the other person's inner demon.
And that is indeed the case. In order to ascend the throne, Li Jiancheng went to any lengths. He even colluded with alien races.
They were certainly capable of killing Li Yi and opening the gates.
"I will go first."
Holding the envelope, Li Shimin left with a gloomy face.
Fang Xuanling clearly knew what Li Shimin was planning to do.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh.
"If this is true, we are likely to face a tough battle."
The alien races from the mountains and seas are not to be trifled with.
For thousands of years, they have always dreamed of conquering the Central Plains, but they have always been prevented from doing so.
Except during chaotic periods when the country was not unified, when foreign tribes sometimes had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, they were kept out of the pass most of the time.
But this time, Li Jiancheng has already arrived in Youzhou, and has even mentioned opening the gates.
Therefore, this matter should not be underestimated.
Li Jiancheng is now completely insane. He is willing to collude with foreign tribes for the throne, and they are absolutely capable of doing something like opening a gate.
I just don't know exactly when that will be.
the other side.
Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin had already taken the letter to the current emperor, his father Li Yuan.
Although he was called the emperor, real power was still in the hands of Li Shimin.
After all, he conquered more than half of the entire Tang Dynasty by himself.
Li Yuan already deserved the title of founding emperor, which was quite an achievement.
"The traitor!"
"What a traitor!"
After reading the contents of the envelope, Li Yuan flew into a rage and tore the envelope to pieces.
He never imagined that the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, whom he had always favored, would do such a thing.
They colluded with foreign tribes and plotted to kill their own brothers.
They even plan to open the gates now, allowing those alien races to enter.
They even plan to open the gates now, allowing those alien races to enter.
At this moment, Li Yuan wished he could personally clean house.
How could he have given birth to such a rebellious son!
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, there were instances of collusion with foreign tribes.
Anyone who has experienced this situation has been nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Father, it's time to make a decision."
Li Shimin stood quietly in front of Li Yuan and spoke in a calm and indifferent tone.
Previously, the three brothers had only engaged in minor squabbles, which were simply the actions of the brothers themselves.
But ever since Li Jiancheng colluded with foreign tribes.
Things then completely changed.
If Li Yuan still supports Li Jiancheng, then Li Shimin wouldn't mind letting him retire early and enjoy his family life.
"I hereby announce to the world that Crown Prince Li Jiancheng is hereby deposed from his position as heir apparent!"
Li Yuan's face was full of anger as he looked at Li Shimin.
His eyes held a complex mix of emotions and a hint of relief.
His three sons.
Fortunately, Li Shimin proved himself capable; even if the other two were crippled, Li Shimin was still able to step up and hold things together.
"This time, you're in complete control."
Li Yuan sighed.
His face was full of worry. "I am tired and old. It is time for you young people to take the throne."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was taken aback.
He never expected that his father would say something like voluntarily abdicate.
Even now, at this crucial stage.
Isn't this clearly showing that Li Yuan is standing behind them?
And Li Jiancheng would not be the crown prince.
With his position as crown prince revoked, Li Jiancheng became nothing more than a commoner.
Of the three of them, who else besides Li Shimin could shoulder this great responsibility?
"Go."
Li Yuan seemed to have seen through Li Shimin's thoughts and spoke to him earnestly.
"With the invasion of foreign tribes, no matter how much I dote on you, I know the seriousness of the matter. It's just that you'll have to suffer, having to go to the battlefield and deal with those foreign tribes again."
"Father, you flatter me. With me here, I will absolutely not allow those foreign tribes to rule the Central Plains!"
Li Shimin immediately knelt on the ground and solemnly swore an oath.
