Chapter 320: The Dark Side of the Moon

Soon after, Shi Qingyi's premonitions really came true, and they moved out of the prince's east palace together, and then moved into the palace and became the real master of the palace - because Tang Emperor Li Yuan had abdicated and ceded the throne to the former Qin king and the current crown prince Li Shimin, so Li Shimin became the next emperor of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Tang Gaozu wanted to abdicate because of Li Shimin's threat, and in fact, in fact, Li Shimin never thought about letting his father abdicate, after all, the original intention of that palace coup was actually just Li Shimin in order to protect himself, and when the coup was successful, Li Shimin, who was in power at this time, was actually completely in control of the situation. In addition, in the coup d'état, because the innocent involvement of the crown prince and the heir of King Qi, Li Shimin at this time was also extremely regretful, so it was naturally impossible for him to face his angry father at this time.

However, Li Yuan made a decision like that, perhaps, when the palace coup that changed everyone's fate broke out, he had already made up his mind, after all, Li Shimin at this time was already his only heir born to Empress Dou, and Li Shimin was already in power at this time, so Li Yuan had no other choice, abdicated one step earlier and one step later, in fact, there was no difference to Li Yuan, except that he could no longer express his opinions on political affairs, Li Shimin's arrangements for Li Yuan in terms of food and clothing are the same as before.

Therefore, Li Yuan's decision to make this decision was actually not abrupt, however. Even so, Li Yuan did not give up his throne so easily, he first let Li Shimin move into the East Palace where the prince lived before his death, to make Li Shimin regret it in his heart, and then see that Li Shimin did have remorse until this time. He was willing to give up his position and hide in the deep palace to enjoy himself......

After the Xuanwumen Change, whether it was Tang Emperor Li Yuan or Li Shimin, the mood of the father and son was actually extremely uncomfortable, so they were also depressed, and avoided contact as much as possible. However, that time, Li Yuan didn't say anything to her, although when Shi Qingyi went to see him that time, his expression did show a trace of excitement - Shi Qingyi could roughly guess what the other party was thinking in his heart, after all, in the early years. Li Yuan once had a bitter love for the former Cihang Jingzhai fairy Bi Xiuxin, although later Bi Xiuxin married the evil king Shi Zhixuan. And Li Yuan himself has already married Queen Dou and has four smart and clever children, however, Li Yuan can't forget his admiration for the goddess of the past, and even now, many years after Bi Xiuxin's death, so. When he was not able to learn that his daughter-in-law, Li Shimin, who had been neglected by him, until the Xuanwumen coup, was actually the daughter of Bi Xiuxin and the evil king, the impact on his heart could be imagined.

On the one hand, when the Xuanwu Gate changed. Li Yuan was extremely resentful of Li Shimin and everyone around him, because if it wasn't for Li Shimin's plan, how could he lose his two sons and their heirs in one day, but on the other hand, Li Yuan also knew that the reason why such a tragedy would have happened, his own inaction was also an important reason, if earlier, he could have made a decision to adjust and eliminate the contradictions of his sons, maybe the ending of the Xuanwumen coup would not have happened.

In the final analysis, Li Yuan really doted on his children too much, so he was able to be buried with the highest standard of military etiquette after his beloved daughter Li Xiuning died in battle, not just the funeral ceremony of a princess, and it was also for this reason that Li Yuan would allow Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to enjoy the privilege of opening a mansion and minting coins. And no matter how a prince with great military achievements will be a great threat to the imperial power and the heir to the throne after he has real military and political power, the prince is all because of Li Yuan's doting on his children, but Li Yuan at that time did not expect that all he did in the end, but in the end, he could only exchange for a fratricidal situation between his sons, the prince died, the king of Qi died, and even the heirs of the two of them were all killed. Li Yuan knew that if the culprit of this tragedy was to be the culprit, then Li Shimin could definitely only be ranked second, and the first person was precisely himself.

The mentality of self-blame makes Li Yuan in inner torment all the time, and at this time, Li Shimin, the initiator of this family tragedy, has become the only life-saving straw for Li Yuan to alleviate his self-blame mentality, or in other words, only by letting himself hate Li Shimin, the son he once loved very much, in his heart, can Li Yuan himself not fall ill because of excessive self-blame......

So at this time, Shi Qingyi should not show up in front of Li Yuan, because she is Bi Xiuxin's daughter, and with Li Yuan's feelings for many years, he naturally can't transfer his anger to the daughter-in-law in front of him, on the contrary, he will regret it even more because he has not discovered the true identity of his daughter-in-law for many years!

Therefore, since that visit, Shi Qingyi will never go to see Li Yuan again, because doing so will only bring Li Yuan, who is immersed in grief, closer to death, and even if he will hate his son Li Shimin in the future, at least, Shi Qingyi hopes that it will make Li Yuan live longer!

On the way back from that visit to Li Yuan, Shi Qingyi once met the former crown princess Zheng on the road, and the surviving daughters of her and the crown prince Li Jiancheng, after the Xuanwumen Change, Li Yuan in order to protect them, simply let Zheng take her daughters out of the prince's East Palace, and moved into the palace instead, living with Li Yuan than a neighbor, and it was convenient to take care of each other, and in the face of Li Yuan's proposal, Li Shimin did not have any objections. Therefore, the matter was decided in this way, so at this time, the princess was actually living in the palace.

At that time, the two suddenly met, and Zheng was certainly caught off guard, but she looked at Shi Qingyi's gaze. But it was full of hatred, although immediately, the gaze had disappeared immediately, but Zheng immediately turned his body and blocked all the daughters who also showed hatred behind her, to prevent their hateful gaze from being detected by Shi Qingyi.

In the face of such a Zheng family and her daughters, what can Shi Qingyi say? Therefore. She could only sigh slightly, and then walked away, she understood that for the rest of her life, it would be impossible for the Zheng family and her surviving daughters to forgive their second uncle and her second sister-in-law......

Unlike the crown princess Zheng, the Yang family of the princess of Qi was also in Li Yuan's imagination. I was also recruited into the palace to protect it, however. In the matter of treating the princess of Qi, Li Shimin showed a completely different attitude from the treatment of the crown princess Zheng, because after the change in Xuanwumen, Li Shimin suddenly became interested in the past of his third brother, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, who had always held a grudge against him. Because of this, he rejected Li Yuan's suggestion, and asked the Yang family, the princess of Qi, directly to his side.

Therefore, although Princess Yang of Qi also lived in the palace at this time, it was not near the palace where Li Yuan lived. Instead, it is near the low point where Li Shimin temporarily lives in the palace.

In this regard, there is nothing strange about Shi Qingyi, after all, Princess Yang of Qi was actually born in Cihang Jingzhai, so she naturally has the unique martial arts of Cihang Jingzhai, and Shi Qingyi believes that for the concubine Xuan who was born in Cihang Jingzhai, Li Shimin's heart must be full of good feelings, and even a heart of admiration, in this way, Princess Qi, whose temperament is quite similar to that of her concubine, will naturally gain Li Shimin's favor unconsciously, not to mention, although Princess Qi is the wife of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, However, the Yang family's expression has always been so gentle and kind, and in stark contrast to the cold and violent appearance of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and therefore, although Li Shimin and Li Yuanji are mortal enemies of each other, and they are also extremely disgusted with the character of this younger brother, however, they will definitely not implicate the Yang family because of this, but on the contrary.

In fact, Cihang Jingzhai has been careful to avoid his side being involved in the fierce power struggle within the Li Tang Dynasty, and therefore, when Li Shimin's side, which is no longer optimistic about everyone, won the final victory, Cihang Jingzhai's side, which had strongly supported Li Shimin, found that at this time, the huge impact they could have on Li Shimin earlier had already become minimal. After all, if it is not based on state affairs, it is difficult to establish Buddhism, and although Li Shimin's concubine Yang Ji'er was also born in Cihang Jingzhai, however, in fact, she does not have any actual power, so it can have little impact on Li Shimin, and it will not be of much benefit to Cihang Jingzhai, who urgently needs other means to increase the ability to influence Li Shimin.

In this way, when the current generation of Cihang Jingzhai's descendant Shi Concubine Xuan is unable to marry Li Shimin as a concubine, then, if the Yang family, the former Qi princess who is also a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, can gain Li Shimin's trust and favor, then if you think about it carefully, it may not be an excellent choice for Cihang Jingzhai.

And Shi Qingyi has no objection to this, because although Gentle Township is a hero's mound, but in the same way, it is also a good medicine to dispel sorrow and relieve worries, after the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin's heart has been suffering from conscience, and therefore, if he can let go of the heavy burden in his heart because of the appearance of Princess Qi at this time, then Shi Qingyi actually wants to thank Princess Qi, and as for whether this matter will cause other consequences, Shi Qingyi just smiled lightly and didn't care at all.

However, of course, Shi Qingyi would not know that the original reason why Li Shimin asked Princess Qi to his side at this moment was because Li Shimin recognized the book that Shi Qingyi put back to his third brother, the notes of the fist sutra on the corpse of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, belonged to her, and on the other hand, Shi Qingyi never paid attention to it, in fact, it can also be regarded as her being in Cihang Jingzhai, and in many cases, because of the unsuspecting attitude towards Li Shimin and others, people unconsciously revealed that they were with the concubine. Princess Qi's Yang family's similar aura...... (To be continued......)
