Chapter 420: Killing the Son to Show Loyalty

"Isn't this a contradiction? Zhi'er is your nephew, why are you still trying to find out something about him? Yuan Ziyan sneered.

"National teacher, don't change the subject!" Eldest Sun Wuji broke out in a cold sweat, and snorted: "It's just that I think this matter is very strange, and I want to find out!" ”

"20,000 taels of gold, this amount is not small, not to mention which minister here, even His Majesty can't take out such money casually, let alone Zhi'er?" Yuan Ziyan said again: "Your Majesty, you must also know that Zhi'er misses her deceased mother and often uses her savings to help the people. The people of the world are also effective imitators, and it is not easy to say that they are all giving in the name of the King of Jin. If it is not the power of the country, it cannot have today's integrity, Your Majesty, Zhi'er has won the hearts of the people, and the position of the prince is thought to be him! ”

Li Shimin was also very happy in his heart, he never expected that the young Li Zhi was already well-known among the people, which was gratifying. It was immediately announced that Li Zhi was the crown prince and the ceremony was held on an auspicious day.

After the news came out, Li Tai was so unwilling that he found Li Shimin crying, and fell to his knees with a puff: "Father, Tai'er has been favored by you since she was a child, and she is excellent in clothes and food." What is the sin of the sons and daughters now, and they let Lao Jiu surpass the sons and become the prince? ”

"Hey, Tai'er, why are you still obsessed?" Li Shimin sighed.

"Father, the son is not convinced!" Li Tai knelt forward, tears raining down: "Father, the son should not worry about the position of the prince, but Cheng Qian loves male pets, and has been married for many years, and there is only one son under his knees, and the heir is lonely." How can such a person be up to the task? The third child is honest on the surface, secretly recruiting troops to win over his cronies, and his ambitions are obvious! There is also Lao Jiu. Until now, every night he still sleeps with the little quilt that the queen mother made for him! Father, if there is a character like you among my brothers, I don't think about this position, but now it's good, my son has become a laughing stock in his mouth, and I can't raise my head for the rest of my life! ”

"Tai'er, don't say any more!" Li Shimin said while clutching his tight chest.

But Li Tai was chattering. Crying with snot and tears: "Chengqian is the eldest son, Zhi'er is the youngest son, and I am not favored in the middle." ”

"Hey. Tai'er, my father has always treated you preferentially, why do you still say this! ”

"Father!" Li Tai threw himself into Li Shimin's arms and cried: "If the father really loves Tai'er." While the crown prince canonization ceremony has not yet been held. Let Tai'er be the prince! ”

"If you become the prince, where will you be governed!" Li Shimin said annoyedly.

"Erchen can pass the throne to Zhi'er in the future!"

"Confused!" Li Shimin suddenly pushed Li Tai away, trembling and pointing at his nose: "You still have a son, why do you say such bastard words?" ”

"The sons can kill their sons, so that the father will not worry!"

Boom, a basin of cold water was poured on Li Tai's head, and then there was the sound of a copper basin falling to the ground, and Yuan Ziyan stood aside with a cold face. Said contemptuously: "Li Tai, you should also wake up!" ”

"Aunt Smoke. You?! ”

"There is no brotherhood that can surpass the kindness of father and son, tiger poison still does not eat children, you actually want to kill Your Majesty's imperial grandson, your own own son, is this still something that people do?" Yuan Ziyan asked loudly.

"Aunt Yan, I, I'm ......"

"Li Tai, it is precisely because your father loves you that he did not give you this throne, in order to save your life. In my opinion, you don't want to do this King of Wei anymore, let's go to a place with difficult conditions to experience life for a few years! Yuan Ziyan snorted coldly.

"No, no! You can't make decisions for your father, you can't! ”

"Come on, blast Li Tai out for me, and from now on, I will be demoted to the king of Donglai County, and I will move out of Jingshi within one day, there must be no mistake!" Yuan Ziyan said loudly.

Be!

The guards stepped forward and pulled out Li Tai, who was still struggling and struggling, and the people in the whole palace and Chang'an Street heard Li Tai's wail, and they kept saying that they wanted to go with Empress Wende.

It should be said that Li Tai's punishment is not serious, but this should have been the imperial order issued by Li Shimin, but it turned out to be from Yuan Ziyan's mouth, and the people below also complied, I can't help but say that with the advancement of time, Yuan Ziyan's prestige in the court is getting higher and higher.

Li Shimin was angry again, none of the sons who grew up in his hands made him worry-free, and the most headache for him was the one in front of him, crying even more like a mother, which made people helpless.

"Father, the son has no virtue and no talent, how can he be worthy of the important responsibility of the prince, and I hope that my father will choose the virtuous and stand!" It was Li Zhi who spoke, his eyes were swollen like big walnuts, and he knelt in front of the bed and begged Li Shimin to take back the emperor's order.

"Zhi'er, my father has already announced to the world, how can you still be so childish!" Li Shimin was so angry that he knocked on the bedboard, and the first few fought for the position of the prince, this is good, and he is bent on pushing out the title.

"Zhi'er, the overall situation has been decided, your father is unwell, don't make trouble here!" Yuan Ziyan also frowned, and secretly said that this Li Zhi could not succeed.

"Father, if you insist on making Zhi'er the crown prince, you will take the life of your son!"

You?!

Li Shimin struggled to get up, pointed at Li Zhi angrily, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Father's anger! Since he can remember, every time he comes to see his father, he is working at the desk, and since then, he has felt that the son of heaven is a chore, and it is better to be a free prince. Li Zhi lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes: "This is what Erchen said in his heart, Erchen doesn't want to be the prince, and he doesn't dare to hide it from his father!" ”

Boom! Li Shimin fell backwards suddenly, unconscious.

"Get out of here!" Yuan Ziyan was furious, and he wanted to kick Li Zhi away. Several imperial doctors hurriedly stepped forward, Li Zhi was at a loss, saw Wu Mei on the side, and shouted for help: "Sister Mei!" ”

"Don't call me!" Wu Mei snorted coldly, turned around and left, Li Zhi was stunned for a long time, and was driven out by Yuan Ziyan to find Wu Mei.

"National teacher, Your Majesty's pulse is in chaos, I'm afraid it's not good!" The imperial doctor's face turned pale.

"Nonsense, Your Majesty's longevity is not over, how dare you make such disobedient words and shake people's hearts?" Yuan Ziyan's willow eyebrows were upside down, and his apricot eyes were wide open.

"National teacher, what Wei Chen said is true!"

"Come on, drag this quack out for me, punish me with a rod for thirty, drive me out of the palace, and never enter Beijing!" Yuan Ziyan commanded, and immediately several guards stepped forward and coaxed out the imperial doctor who was crying for his father and mother.

"You, come back for treatment!" Yuan Ziyan pointed to another trembling imperial doctor, who grinned with a bitter face, but he didn't dare to treat it, and he stubbornly took acupuncture.

The ministers who rushed to hear the news also gathered, and all of them had worried looks on their faces, in recent years, His Majesty has repeatedly fallen ill, coupled with the waste of his youth, maybe it is really more than lucky.

"Country, national teacher, Your Majesty, no, there is no breath!" The imperial doctor rolled his eyes and passed out.

The ministers immediately knelt on the ground and cried, Yuan Ziyan was furious, and scolded: "A group of stupid people, Your Majesty is not dead, what kind of mourning are you crying!" ”

"National teacher, what did the imperial doctor say?" The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't care about the grudge with Yuan Ziyan at this time, and hurriedly asked.

"It's all the waste of wine bags and rice barrels, and the living are all said to be dead by them!" Yuan Ziyan looked at Li Shimin, who was clenching his teeth and closing his eyes, and suddenly felt sad, and stepped forward to shake him and cried: "Shimin, you have experienced strong winds and waves, and you have rode into the enemy camp lightly, which has made the other party tremble, why are you so angry with a few children?" No, this is not the Li Shimin I know, Shimin, wake up! ”

"National teacher, don't disturb Your Majesty anymore!" Fang Xuanling fell to the ground and cried bitterly, tears streaming down her face.

"No, that's not true!" Yuan Ziyan wiped a handful of tears, untied Li Shimin's belt and shirt with his hands, and revealed his chest.

Everyone was taken aback, not knowing what Yuan Ziyan was going to do, but the next scene made them burst their eyes, only to see Yuan Ziyan's palms folded in front of Li Shimin and pressed continuously, and the sweat on his head dripped on Li Shimin's naked chest.

Before everyone could react, Yuan Ziyan's behavior was unbearable to look at, only to see her lift Li Shimin's chin, pry his mouth open, and her cherry lips were pasted.

"National teacher, I know that you have a lot of affection for Your Majesty, but you are in public......"

"Eldest grandson Wuji, if you don't speak, you won't die!" Yuan Ziyan wiped the sweat on his head, pressed Li Shimin's chest again, and then mouth-to-mouth, of course, artificial respiration.

After tossing like this for about five or six minutes, only to hear a muffled snort, everyone was startled, and Li Shimin woke up faintly.

The imperial doctors were even more stunned, they never expected that the national teacher would have the medical skills to bring the dead back to life, which is admirable.

With another long sigh, Li Shimin finally opened his eyes, Yuan Ziyan hurriedly raised his head and choked up: "Shimin, if you don't play like this, you will frighten everyone." ”

"Ziyan, what happened?" Li Shimin asked slowly.

"Your Majesty!" The ministers wept with joy and knelt to the side of the bed, but were coaxed out by Yuan Ziyan on the grounds that the patient needed to rest.

When he walked out of the palace gate, Fang Xuanling said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Lord eldest grandson, you always say that the national teacher has ill intentions, and today you have also seen it, if there is no national teacher, I am afraid that Your Majesty will return to the sky." ”

"Hey, I never thought that the national teacher would have a sincere heart, but it was my villain's heart before." The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and sighed.

The ministers are also grateful to Yuan Ziyan, and the crown prince Li Zhi still needs to be trained for a few more years under the leadership of Li Shimin, so he will leave the west, but I am afraid that the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty will end.

"Ziyan, I seem to have walked on a lonely bridge, and a kind old woman brought me a bowl of soup for me to drink, saying that I could forget all the troubles in the world." Li Shimin looked up at Yuan Ziyan, put her hand on his chest, and sighed: "But I heard your shout, and when I looked back, you were desperately waving at me." I couldn't bear to leave, so I turned around and turned back, and sure enough, I saw you again. (To be continued......)
