Chapter 556 Li Xiang was assassinated

"Jue'er, you should understand what I want to say in my heart, but I don't understand why. You are the crown prince of my Tang Dynasty."

"Why do you want to do this? Why do you want to rebel? Are you so impatient to sit on this throne?" Li Chengqian questioned Li Jue with great sorrow.

Li Chengqian didn't understand why it came to this. Li Jue was already the crown prince. As long as he died, Li Jue could naturally ascend the throne and become the emperor.

He was so anxious to sit on this seat that he had to take a risk and launch a coup to seize the throne.

"I have been the crown prince for several years. Have I ever made any mistakes as the crown prince? Have I ever coveted anything?" Li Jue asked.

"You have done nothing wrong, and you have never coveted anything, but look at who you have been fooling around with?"

"Zhao Daosheng, who seeks glory for his sellers, and Liu Nayan, who flatters and flatters, are all people of poor character. You fooling around with them will only ruin you."

"But these are not what I want to know. I just want to know what Na is thinking and why he wants to rebel. You are already the crown prince. Are you so impatient to become the king?" Li Chengqian roared. "

Why do I do this? It's because of you. Because you favor Prince Wei. You want to depose me and make Li Xiang the crown prince instead. You forced me to do this." Li Jue said.

"I did this to spur you, hoping that you would wake up, stay away from those villains, get close to wise officials, and establish noble character."

"But I never thought of deposing you as the crown prince, but you did such a treasonous thing." Li Chengqian said.

"It has come to this! I, Li Jue, have nothing to say!" Li Jue said.

Since this has been done, it is natural to bear the corresponding consequences.

"Take him away and keep him under good care." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Wang Quan accepted the order and asked someone to take Li Jue to another room for confinement.

"Where are Li Jingxuan and the others?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Reply to everyone! Li Jingxuan has committed suicide at home. As for the other party members, except for some stubborn people, they have been executed on the spot. As for the others, they have surrendered!" Wang Quan said. "

Does he think that committing suicide can solve all the problems? Drag Li Jingxuan's body out, whip it and feed it to dogs. Such a traitor and thief should not be comforted even if he dies." "

All Li Jingxuan's family members should be exiled to Chaozhou. As for other participants in the rebellion, they should be handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. Those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be exiled should be exiled." Li Chengqian said. Li

Jingxuan was the culprit who instigated Li Jue to rebel. Even if he died, Li Chengqian did not intend to let him go.

"Yes!" Wang Quan accepted the order and responded.

"By the way, go and call Prince Wei to the palace for me. I have something to say to him." Li Chengqian said.

Li Jue had been deposed, and the Tang Dynasty naturally needed to elect a new crown prince.

Among the many sons, Li Xiang's actions still made Li Chengqian very satisfied, and Li Xiang was also the best candidate for the crown prince.

This time he summoned Li Xiang to the palace to tell him about making him the crown prince.

Li Chengqian wanted to give Li Xiang a good instruction, as he did not want Li Xiang to follow in Li Jue's footsteps in the end.

"I'll do it right away!" Wang Quan bowed and left.

That day, Li Chengqian issued an edict to depose Li Jue from the position of crown prince and severely punish those who participated in the rebellion.

...

"Grandmaster, Li Jue was arrested for conspiracy. This time he will definitely be deposed. Father will definitely make me the crown prince." Li Xiang said with a smile.

"There are unexpected changes in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time! Life is unpredictable, so don't be too happy too early!"

"No one can predict what the final result will be. The one who can laugh last is the winner." Tian You said. "

Why do you say that, Grandmaster?" Li Xiang asked.

He really didn't understand what Tian You meant by saying this. What does it mean to laugh last?

Isn't it him who laughs last?

At the moment, besides him, who else can become the crown prince? Li Jue fell from power. No matter from what aspect, he, Li Xiang, is the only choice for the crown prince.

"Your Highness will soon know what I mean." Tian You said and saluted Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was even more confused now. He stepped forward to help Tian You up.

Just as Tian You stood up, a dagger flashing with cold light pierced into Li Xiang's heart.

"You..." Li Xiang opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, he died.

Li Xiang didn't expect that Tian You, whom he trusted so much, would actually kill him. Li Xiang really wanted to ask why?

Unfortunately! He didn't have time to ask, and he died on the spot. Li Xiang died

with his eyes open. Li Xiang never thought that he would end up making wedding dresses for others.

"Your Highness! Don't blame me. I did this to be loyal to my master. Only by killing you can my young master have the hope of becoming the emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Tian You said.

Tian You turned around and walked to a cage nearby, and took out a carrier pigeon, on the pigeon's leg there was already a letter tied.

Tian You opened the window and let the pigeon fly away. When the pigeon disappeared into the sky, Tian You turned around and walked to the door.

"Oh no! Someone come quickly! King Wei was assassinated!" Tian You shouted.

The guards heard the news and rushed in to see that King Wei Li Xiang was already dead!

The guards panicked! King Wei was assassinated, and they had an unshirkable responsibility. Once they were blamed by the higher-ups, it might be a capital crime.

"Your Highness!" Tian You rushed up in one step, threw himself on Li Xiang's body, and cried loudly.

"Hey, what's going on? I heard crying from far away?" Wang Quan walked in and said.

He heard the crying from far away, but he couldn't hear clearly what they were crying about.

Seeing a group of people gathered together, Wang Quan became even more curious!

A guard turned around and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, Prince Wei was assassinated!"

"What? Say it again?" Wang Quan was shocked after hearing this.

"His Highness Prince Wei was assassinated!" the guard said again.

Wang Quan hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the guard away. He looked at the ground and saw that Li Xiang was lying on the ground without a breath.

Wang Quan was panicked. He had not expected such a big thing to happen.

"Seal off the scene. No one is allowed to move anything here. Keep it as it is. I will report to His Majesty." Wang Quan ordered the accompanying imperial guards.

"Wang Jian, what should we do with these people?" the imperial guards asked.

"Detain them first!" Wang Quan said, turned around and left. He was anxious to report to Li Chengqian about Li Xiang's assassination.

"Yes!" The imperial guards responded with a fist. After Wang Quan left, he asked someone to take care of Tian You and the guards.

As for the scene, it remained as it was.
