Chapter 350: Repaying Grievances with Virtue
Li Shimin stared at a pair of red eyes and came to Li You, the coldness in his eyes was something Li You had never seen. Until now, he doesn't understand why his father doesn't help him, why is this!
"You disobedient son! How could I have given birth to a son like you! Li Shimin slapped Li You's face and slapped it on Li You's face, the force was so great that he saw Li You's face deformed due to the force, a mouthful of blood spit out, and the whole person was stunned.
Seeing this, Concubine Yin De hurriedly pounced on her son's body and cried: "Your Majesty, You'er is still a child!" β
"Kid!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and his tone was indescribably cold: "It's a child, can you be so arrogant and reckless?" It's a child, so he can flirt with his sister and go against human ethics? It's like this at a young age, and it's still going to be when you grow up? I might as well kill him today, lest I do even more rebellious things in the future! β
Li Shimin said, and was about to turn around and take the sword that injured Li Mu as a murder weapon, which was placed on the case next to him at this time.
Concubine Yin De saw that Li Shimin had gone to get the sword, and she was completely panicked. She hurriedly knelt down and crawled to the feet of the eldest grandson queen, kowtowed, and said, "Sister, help!" You'er was young and ignorant, and he caused a big disaster, and his sister didn't dare to defend him, so she only begged her sister to persuade Your Majesty to leave You'er's life for the sake of her love for many years! β
Empress Eldest Sun and Concubine Yin De get along well on weekdays, but seeing her mourning like this at this time, she really couldn't turn a blind eye, and bent down to help her up: "Sister, you get up and talk about ......it."
"Sister...... Concubine Yin De saw that Li Shimin had already held the sword in his hand, and she couldn't care about the eldest grandson, so she stood in front of Li You, who was stunned, like a hen protecting the chickens, and completely let go: "Your Majesty, if you insist on killing You'er, then please kill the concubine first!" Thousands of mistakes, all of them are the fault of the concubine, the concubine did not raise his son well, so he caused a big disaster, he didn't dare to defend himself, he just wanted to die! β
"Get out of the way!"
"The concubine can't let it, the concubine only has this one son! If he dies, the concubine will live as if he were dead, so it is better to go together! lest your majesty be in the way of ......"
Concubine Yin De cried silently, but she still stopped in front of Li You. Li Shimin raised his sword several times, but he really couldn't do it. He can be ruthless, but he is also in a hurry, if no one stops him, he may really kill Li You. But afterwards, he will definitely regret it. The relationship between father and son is continuous.
was stopped by Concubine Yin De like this, he actually couldn't do it anymore. A one-day husband and wife for a hundred days, how can there be no feelings? Concubine Yin De, as the daughter of a criminal, can be ranked as one of the four concubines, which shows Li Shimin's affection for her, how can he do it?
But things have developed to this extent, as the so-called tiger is difficult to ride, what is said is like water spilled, how can it be recovered? If it is really recovered, how should it be explained to the orphans and widows of the Zheng family? How can he be worthy of the sword that Li Mu sacrificed himself to block in order to save Li You?
Empress Changsun watched from the side, knowing that Li Shimin would not be able to come to the stage. After thinking about it, she was about to open her mouth and hand Li Shimin a ladder.
"Your Majesty, King Yan is young, he doesn't know the identity of Wanshun, and those who don't know are not guilty, so please ...... Your Majesty leniently."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Guanyin, I haven't seen you for many years, you can still speak like this, the black is said to be white, and the white is said to be black...... Even if King Yan doesn't know my daughter's identity, can he act so recklessly? In this way, I have to go to King Yan's mansion to take a look and see how many daughters of good families there are in his mansion! β
A "Guanyin maid" choked back all the words of the eldest grandson queen. Empress Eldest Sun stopped, turned her eyes to look at the Zheng family, clenched her teeth, squeezed out a smile with all her strength, bowed slightly, and said: "Imperial sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years, my face has not changed, Guanyin has asked you for peace." β
The corners of Zheng Guanyin's mouth hooked up a smile, and said: "Eat fasting and chanting Buddha all day long, you can do the same." β
"There are too many chores in the harem, I'm afraid I don't have this leisure."
"That's right, but you're not afraid you're tiredβyou're happy, aren't you? Isn't that what you've always dreamed of? When a long-cherished wish is fulfilled, it is to be happy. β
"Imperial sister-in-law!" Empress Eldest Sun's apricot eyes were frosty, she held back her anger, and said: "Why are you so yin and yang, you are not afraid of making people laugh!" β
"Jokes?" Zheng Guanyin said coldly: "Now that we are orphans and widows, we are still being bullied, what do we want to be cheeky? Queen, if you look at me as an eyesore and kill our mother and daughter, why do you bother, pretend to be benevolent and righteous, you have deceived the world, but you can't fool me! Guanyin! β
The two concubines refused to give in to each other, which filled the hall with the smell of gunpowder. Although Li Shimin was next to him, he couldn't say a word. Unless he kills Zheng's mother and daughter, which is exactly what he must not do.
Speaking of the festival between Empress Eldest Sun and Zheng Guanyin, it is really a long story. Since ancient times, there have been few concubines who can get along well. Empress Changsun and Zheng Guanyin, the two concubines, are obviously not one of them. From the name, you can get a glimpse of one or two.
The nickname of the eldest grandson queen is "Guanyin", and legend has it that because she lost her father at a young age and was driven away by her uncle, she had to follow her mother and brother back to live in her parents' house. Her mother lamented that the eldest grandson queen was so upside down at a young age, so she named her Guanyin, which means that she wants to rely on Guanyin's blessing to let her grow up well, even if it is to let her daughter serve Guanyin.
This is a good expectation of a mother for her daughter, and there has been no problem, but after meeting Zheng Guanyin, it has changed a little.
Zheng Guanyin's father believed in Buddhism and named his daughter Zheng Guanyin. And the eldest grandson queen is called Guanyin, doesn't this mean that she is Zheng Guanyin's maidservant?
Looking at the identities of the two again, although the eldest grandson queen was born in the Longyoumen valve Changsun clan. But the eldest grandson clan at the end of the Sui Dynasty was not a big gate, and Zheng Guanyin was born in the Zheng clan of Xingyang, one of the five surnames and seven wangs, which is completely incomparable.
And Zheng Guanyin is married to the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and the eldest grandson queen is married to Li Shimin, the king of Qin.
If Li Jiancheng successfully ascends the throne, Zheng Guanyin's mother will be in the world, and her name as "Guanyin's maid" will be confirmed.
Empress Changsun has always supported Li Shimin's resistance, perhaps there is also a reason for this.
Before the change of Xuanwumen, in order to win over the palace to help Li Shimin say good things. Empress Changsun often brought gifts into the palace to give to Li Yuan's concubines. And Zheng Guanyin, who is proud of his identity, has never done such a thing. Therefore, Zheng Guanyin said at this time that Empress Changsun's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, but she was not wronged.
Now Zheng Guanyin is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, his husband is dead, and his son is dead, so he doesn't have much fun living. Now that her daughter has been humiliated like this, how can she swallow this breath. Especially seeing Empress Changsun stand up and exonerate Li You, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and new hatreds and old hatreds emerge in his mind together, so naturally he can't think about it.
Just when Empress Changsun's line of reason was about to break, a voice came in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, put down your sword quickly!"
I saw Li Mu push away Li Chengqian's hand, staggered into the hall, blocked in front of Concubine Yin De, facing the cold sword blade, his face was fearless, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, tiger poison does not eat children!" What's more, have you forgotten to promise the Emperor Taishang?! β
Li Shimin was stunned and thought about it.
Because of Li Yourong's matter, Li Shimin promised Li Yuan that he would never raise a knife against his relatives again. It's just that under the circumstances at the time, it was Li Yourong who said this. Li Shimin really didn't expect that one day he would use it to excuse his son.
Concubine Yin De didn't expect that Li Mu would repay her grievances with virtue like this, and as soon as she woke up, she ran over to intercede for her son. For a while, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and it was clear that my son had this trouble because of him, but now he can't hate it.
Li Shimin looked at the blood-soaked white cloth on Li Mu's arm in a daze, as if his heart was blocked, but he didn't know what to say. Li Mu's actions today really touched his heart.
Li Shimin sighed and said, "That's it, you were injured because of this matter, how to deal with this matter, I will leave it to you, let you deal with it." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Li Mu finished speaking, his body shook a little, and Li Shimin hurriedly supported him and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"It's okay, when the minister came, he ran a little fast, and his head was a little confused...... Li Mu looked at the chair next to Li Shimin and said, "Can the minister sit and talk?" β
"You sit." Li Shimin helped Li Mu to sit down, looked at Li You who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed again. Although he handed over the power of disposal to Li Mu and got a step down for the time being, but in his heart, can he not worry about his son, but the words have been spoken, and he can't take it back, sighing bitterly, now Li You's life is really in Li Mu's hands.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Yin Hongzhi with hatred. Up to now, how could he not realize that he was not entrusted. This Yin Hongzhi, he really wants to kill him quickly.
Li Mu looked at Li You, who was kneeling on the ground and staring at him with resentful eyes. The two looked at each other for a while, and Li Mu suddenly gave him a big smile.
"King Yan, there are many offenses today, don't take it too seriously. You are not wrong in your thinking, this world belongs to your father, you are his son, and I am his courtier, you are the prince, and I am just a mere marquis, I offended you, I really deserve to die......"
Li Shimin heard Li Mu speak like this, and opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Li Mu.
Li Mu continued: "But there is one thing that you may not know. I was trusted by His Majesty to use me as a professor at the Chongwen Pavilion to teach the crown prince and the king of Yue. I will take care of you because I think that since Your Majesty asked me to teach the crown prince and the king of Yue, then you are also the son of Your Majesty, and you can't ignore you just because you are a concubine. Seeing that you have done something wrong, if I don't come forward to stop it, it will really be a great trust from Your Majesty. β
"That's why I stopped you from continuing to commit violence. At that time, you scolded me, insulted me, threatened me, and asked me to let you go, although I was angry in my heart, I still treated you politely and let you go. But then you wanted to beat me again, and only then did I fight back......" Li Mu stood up with the handrail, saluted Li Shimin, and said: "The minister beat the prince, please punish Your Majesty." β
