Yuan Ji nodded, "What you said makes sense. But my father was angry with me and my eldest brother, obviously he didn't expect this, he also wanted to persuade our three brothers, and let me be the east, and three days later, my father and the emperor will come to our Qi palace with the eldest brother and the second brother. ”

Ziyi's eyes rolled and he smiled proudly: "Yuanji, this is a good opportunity to get rid of Li Shimin." ”

Motoyoshi was taken aback, "Huh? Get rid of the second brother, how to get rid of it? ”

Ziyi said: "If you talk about how difficult it is to get rid of Li Shimin in normal times, he has good martial arts and has guards by his side, and we can't enter the Qin Palace." It's different now, if he wants to come to our Qi Palace, or come with his father, then he can't bring guards or weapons, isn't this a good opportunity? ”

Yuan Ji laughed when he heard this, "You're right, this is really a rare opportunity, I'll go to the eldest brother to discuss." ”

Ziyi grabbed Yuanji's sleeve, "Don't go!" The eldest brother is a soft-hearted person, and he has just been disciplined by his father, he will not agree to do this, and you can't do it if you go to discuss this matter with him. ”

"Okay, then we'll do it ourselves." Yuan Ji smiled gloomily, "Three days later, I held a banquet in the Yamato Pavilion of the Qi Palace, and ordered my henchman Yuwenbao to ambush around the Yamato Pavilion, and to smash the cup as the number, I must kill Li Shimin!" ”

Three days later, Shimin accompanied Li Yuan to the palace of the king of Qi, and he had already arrived one step earlier, and the banquet was placed, and the father and son sat down, and did not let people serve on the side, not even Ziyi, because Li Yuan wanted to say something to his three sons.

Li Yuan said: "Since my Li family won the world, the four of us father and son haven't had a good meal together for a long time. Sitting together today can't help but remind me of the old days, do you know how I married your mother-in-law, Queen Taimu? ”

They really don't know the past between their parents, and the three brothers shook their heads in unison.

"At that time, it was still in the era of the Northern Zhou Dynasty." Li Yuan's mind drifted back to a distant era, "I lost my father at the age of seven and attacked the title of Duke of Tang, but I lost my father's protection, what can a seven-year-old child do?" Therefore, those scholars did not look down on me, so I could only work my own. And your mother is the daughter of the eldest princess of Xiangyang, Emperor Wu of Zhou likes this niece very much, and took your mother to the palace to raise her since she was a child.

At that time, in order to deal with the Northern Qi, the Northern Zhou Dynasty made friends with the Turks, so Emperor Wu of Zhou married the Turkic princess. But this was purely a political marriage, and Emperor Wu of Zhou did not like this empress from the Turks, so he was also very cold to her. And your mother, who was still a little girl at the time, actually said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Uncle, now that Jiangnan and Northern Qi have not yet been pacified, the Turks are very strong, and with their support, the great cause of reunification can be completed as soon as possible. 'The dignified Emperor Wu of Zhou, a generation of heroes, actually listened to your mother's instructions.

Later, when Emperor Wen of Sui usurped the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, your mother threw herself on the bed and wept bitterly, saying fiercely: 'I only hate that I am not a man, and I can't save my uncle's family.' ’

Your mother was so brilliant in terms of knowledge and courage, who of the Shi family at that time did not want to marry her? There are more people who come to the door to propose. But your grandfather said, 'This woman is both talented and beautiful, and she should not be allowed to give her a good name, but she should seek a good husband for her.' So your grandfather made a secret choice of son-in-law, drew two peacocks on the screen of his door, and secretly agreed that the one who could shoot the peacock's eye would be elected. I went to a lot of people that day, but I couldn't shoot, only I had two shots and two peacock eyes, and this could marry your mother. ”

Jiancheng sighed when he heard it: "I didn't expect my father to marry his mother like this." ”

Li Yuan said: "Yes, so I cherish this marriage very much, and I have always had a deep relationship with your mother, I ascended the throne as the emperor, and I only posthumously crowned her as the queen, and I will not establish a queen again." ”

Shimin sighed: "The deep affection of my father and the queen mother is really touching, and the queen mother must be pleased to know it." ”

Li Yuan sighed, "That's not necessarily, she knows my feelings for her, but I didn't teach my sons well, which made your brothers not get along, so how can I explain to her?" ”

"Father, Emperor ......" Hearing Li Yuan say this, the three brothers knelt on the ground in unison.

Li Yuan said: "Get up, today I just want you three brothers to solve the misunderstanding." Shimin, I ask you, as the commander of the forbidden army of the left and right twelve guards, you are responsible for the security of the palace, and your eldest brother's East Palace actually entered the East Palace a few days ago, do you know? ”

When the people heard this, they said in horror: "The son really doesn't know about this, it is the son of the son who is derelict in his duties, please punish the father." ”

Li Yuan said: "There is no need to punish, you have to be more careful in the future, don't let this kind of thing happen again, make your eldest brother uneasy." ”

"Yes." Shimin replied.

"There is also the matter of Ziyi and Zixuan's sisters, I also want to clarify it with you in person today." Li Yuan stroked his beard, "Yuanji, you knew that Ziyi was a woman of the people of the world in Jinyang and designed to marry her, this is your fault, I saw that Mu Chengzhou did not pursue it, but this does not mean that my father approves of your nonsense." Take this opportunity to apologize to your second brother. ”

"Yes." Yuan Ji reluctantly saluted Shimin, "Second brother, this matter is wrong with the younger brother, it is the younger brother who is lustful, and I can't help the second brother." ”

Shimin picked up Yuanji and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past, and the second brother doesn't care." ”

Li Yuan said: "That's right! And the matter of Zixuan, I know that you like Zixuan, but in any case, she is now the concubine of the people, you can't be suspicious of this, you know? ”

"Erchen knows." Completed replied.

Li Yuan said again: "And the people of the world, you have the greatest credit for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, I know this." I gave you the position of 'Admiral of Tiance', and I also rewarded you with a lot of money, even Zixuan can get out of the palace if you want to, you should get your wish, right? Don't be arrogant in the future and make people suspect that you are ambitious, understand? ”

Shimin replied, "Erchen understands. ”

"Alright, I've said enough today." Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "All in all, I hope that the three of you brothers can let go of their old suspicions and get back together from today, so I salute you for this." ”

The three brothers raised their glasses and drank them all, and the father and son gossiped again. Jiancheng retreated in a hurry, but when he came back, he found that the sword and sword shadow outside the Yamato Pavilion were obviously ambushed by Yuanji, and Jiancheng secretly screamed in his heart, so he hurried to the Yamato Pavilion.

At this time, I saw Yuan Ji holding a wine glass and said to Li Yuan: "It is a great honor for my father to come to the palace of the king of Qi, and my father's lesson will be remembered by my son. ”R1152
