Chapter 13: Grounding

In the evening of the same day, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun rushed to the East Palace.

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to salute, Li Shimin split his head and asked: "Qian'er, who let you out of the palace!" Who allowed you to leave the palace! ”

Its expression was fierce, as if it was about to be eaten.

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, what? Was he found out about leaving the palace so quickly? That's too fast, right?

Someone must have snitched, right? Otherwise, how could Li Shimin know?

Before he could think of who it was, Empress Eldest Sun also rushed in and hugged him.

Caught him off guard.

"Qian'er, are you alright? Is it hurt!? Let my mother take a look! ”

Then he looked Li Chengqian up and down to confirm whether he had been harmed.

"Queen Mother...... What's going on? ”

Li Chengqian was completely stunned, what was going on?

Only then did the eldest grandson empress say:

"We heard that you left the palace and were assassinated by assassins, so we rushed to see you, fortunately you are okay, otherwise the queen mother would not want to live......"

Empress Changsun, this is an expression of true feelings.

Someone told them about their whereabouts and their assassination.

Who is it? Who is it?

Seeing Li Shimin's gloomy face again, Li Chengqian opened his mouth to explain something.

"Father! I ......"

But when the words came to his lips, he was interrupted by Li Shimin.

"Don't explain anything! Don't think I don't know, I know anything that happens in the entire Chang'an City! ”

Li Shimin was very displeased, it seemed that it was not who told them, but that they had too many eyeliners, and they were exposed.

To tell the truth, when he left the palace, he was assassinated again, and then the assassin died, which naturally caused a lot of sensation at that time, and it was normal to be targeted.

It seems that the next time you want to go out, you should try to keep a low profile.

At least don't spend too much time in public, too dazzling.

Empress Changsun said again: "Your father has already sent someone to investigate, these people dare to assassinate my son, if you let me know who it is, I will definitely behead them!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun said hatefully. Her behavior of protecting the calf moved Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian in history is so lucky, he is so valued and cared for, and he even broke a good hand, and his appearance must be a good card.

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, Li Chengqian knew that this guy was also for his own good, whether it was as a father or as the king of a country, he didn't want Li Chengqian to have an accident.

But how to check? People are dead, and nothing is left behind.

Li Chengqian didn't want to say too much, they wanted to check, so let's check. If you can find out the best, if you can't, you may have to rely on yourself.

After that, Li Shimin asked again: "Qian'er, why did you leave the palace without permission this time, is there anything outside the palace?" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly explained: "Father, my son-in-law heard that the outside world is beautiful, and I just want to go out and have a look!" This outside world is really wonderful, and the good rivers and mountains of my Tang Dynasty are really majestic! ”

can't let Li Shimin know that he is looking for Zou Fengchi, otherwise, this matter may be yellow, and he will make a lot of money!

Li Shimin was very shrewd and let him know that this matter was over.

That's why he said that.

This seems like a good reason.

Li Chengqian grew up in the palace since he was a child and never went out once.

People will go crazy after being locked up for a long time, and sometimes Li Shimin himself will go out of the palace to hunt.

But this prince doesn't even seem to have this opportunity.

Hearing this, Li Shimin pondered for a while.

But he still said: "No matter what, it's a mistake for you to leave the palace without permission!" That's why I'm going to punish you severely! See if you dare next time! ”

At this time, Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty! Qian'er is still a child, he has a big playfulness, and he was almost killed this time, and his soul was hurt so much, but you have to punish him heavily, if he is punished, even the concubine will be punished! ”

Empress Eldest Sun hugged Li Chengqian, making him almost breathless.

Her reaction left Li Shimin speechless.

"Queen, you ...... I'm really angry! ”

With the protection of Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian will not have any major punishment. It's really nice to have such a mother.

In the end, Li Shimin's anger disappeared a little.

He said, "Hey! Okay, Qian'er, from today onwards, you are not allowed to go out in the East Palace! I'm going to ground you for three days. Have a good time reading in the East Palace! Don't go anywhere! ”

After the persuasion of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin finally banned Li Chengqian for three days.

Either way, the ending is good.

"Don't you thank your father!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Li Chengqian was depressed, this negligence actually made him grounded in the East Palace for three days, and he was very unhappy.

Ban it, ban it, he wants to go out, he just sneaks out, can Li Shimin still know?

"Does the emperor think this matter is too strange?"

Empress Eldest Sun suddenly asked in front of Li Chengqian.

"I think so, I'm worried!"

"Your Majesty, this time is different from the past, things are not people, and it will not be the same as before!"

Empress Changsun had something to say, but Li Chengqian understood very well what Li Shimin was worried about.

There is a pain in Li Shimin's heart, that is, the Xuanwumen Incident that year.

At that time, Li Shimin killed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, who was the crown prince at the time, and his younger brother Li Yuanji.

In the end, Li Yuan was forced to make himself the crown prince, and Li Yuan abdicated not long after, and he became the emperor himself.

This incident made Li Shimin feel guilty for a long time, and he was often worried, worried about whether his children would be like this.

Judging from the assassination, Li Shimin thought a lot.

In case the root cause of the assassination is that other princes want to compete for favor, it is also possible.

Even if it is not for the prince to compete for favor, it is possible for the prince to do things for them through nepotism.

"I hope so! Let's hope they don't repeat my mistakes! ”

Li Shimin sighed.

It can be seen that he was exhausted when he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't happen again!"

Empress Changsun looked at the sky, and then said, "It's not too early, let's go first, let Qian'er rest early!" ”

Empress Eldest Sun said.

"Congratulations to my father and mother!"

After that, Li Shimin left the East Palace, but the eldest grandson Empress still stayed in the East Palace.

She said earnestly:

"Qian'er, you have to know the emperor's good intentions! He doesn't want to put you in danger! It's not really going to punish you. ”

This is defending Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian didn't take it to heart at all, he wanted to be grounded, anyway, it had no effect on himself, he was a child on the surface, but he was not a child in essence.

"Queen Mother, Erchen knows!"

Empress Changsun glanced at Li Chengqian again, and then left the East Palace.
