"That's what you say...... But from the heart? ”

Facing his father's aggressive eyes and questioning, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and suppressed the fear in his heart, bowed to the ground, and said: "Erchen is indeed sincere, if there is a trace of hypocrisy and cunning, it can be called heaven and earth and five thunders to the top!" ”

His Majesty Li Er's cold and hard face softened, looked at the prince kneeling in front of him, and sighed.

What kind of obstacle did he commit at the beginning, and he actually wanted to abolish the prince and set up another prince......

Could it be that as an emperor, talent is more important?

His Majesty Li Er once thought it was, but now he understands that this is not the case.

For the sake of the supreme imperial power, he killed his brother and killed his brother, cold-blooded and ruthless, no one knows better than His Majesty Li Er what kind of infamy and how to bear the bitter remorse behind it!

Although the crown prince's talents are limited, he is not as erudite as the King of Wei and not as intelligent as the King of Jin, but his benevolence, kindness, brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood are beyond the reach of the King of Wei and the King of Jin. Before he gave up King Wei because King Wei was cold by nature, and he was optimistic about King Jin because King Jin was filial piety and gentleness, but after this Yicang incident, His Majesty Li Er realized that even if King Jin was really able to treat his brother well when he ascended the throne, the group of people behind him would inevitably make waves and force King Jin to a cruel and cold-blooded road of no return......

The King of Jin, who was coerced by the Guanlong group, would definitely raise a butcher's knife against his brother.

This is the last thing His Majesty Li Er wants to see, he himself is deeply affected, how can he watch his son go down his old path?

His Majesty Li Er barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "You are a good boy...... However, the state has national laws and family rules, and if a slave makes a mistake, he will inevitably bear the consequences. ”

Li Chengqian said quickly: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the young slave is young, even if there is a mistake, it is just the bewitchment of the people around him, even if he wants to be punished, he can eliminate the title and plunder the fief, why do you want to trap him?" The young slave has just gotten married, full of revenge, how can his father bear to let him be claustrophobic in the house and live a miserable life? ”

He is really sorry for Li Zhi.

The heroic young prince is the age of the rising sun, but he has to face the red wall and can only look up at the sky, like an eagle falcon with folded wings, and there is no time to spread its wings......

If it is said that there is no barrier in his heart to Li Zhi's competition for the storage position, this is of course impossible.

Not to mention that the supreme power of the sun and the moon in the world has a fatal temptation for everyone, and he is unwilling to let go, and the deposed prince since ancient times has no good end, Li Chengqian desperately wants to maintain his position.

But the queen mother is early, the immature slave is young, but the brotherly affection makes Li Chengqian how can he bear to let the immature slave be imprisoned for the rest of his life?

Even if he ascended the throne later, he could pardon him...... With my father's current state of prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period, what year and month will it have to wait?

I am afraid that before I can ascend the throne, the young slave will die of depression......

His Majesty Li Er's eyes were deep and asked, "If the young slave regains his freedom, aren't you afraid that one day he will really snatch your position as the prince?" ”

This is a heart-wrenching sentence.

Li Chengqian said without hesitation: "Erchen is afraid, so Erchen will try his best to do his best, Erchen is not holding the throne of the emperor, but the righteousness of all brothers." ”

He was afraid that his brothers would kill him after competing for the storage position, but he never thought of killing all the brothers who were competing for the reserve.

Since ancient times, anyone who deposes the prince and ascends the throne is unjustifiable, and in order to consolidate the imperial power in his hands, he has to kill the former prince and uproot his power, which is understandable.

If you want to maintain a minimum of family affection for brotherly harmony...... Then only the crown prince consolidated his position and ascended the throne smoothly.

After all, the justifiable crown prince is orthodox after he ascends the throne, and he can't kill all his brothers who once coveted imperial power......

His Majesty Li Er was moved.

Facing the brothers' step-by-step pressing...... How rare is it that the prince can still maintain a loving heart?

I almost made a big mistake......

Thinking in his heart, his face became more and more kind, and he said with a smile: "You don't have to dissuade your father from this matter, your father has his own opinions." ”

Li Chengqian was silent, how could he not see his father's anger?

His father worked hard and wholeheartedly wanted to incorporate the land of Goguryeo into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which was of course to achieve his grand plan of "an emperor through the ages", but it is undeniable that it also solved a hidden danger in the northeast.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Goguryeo has relied on the fact that the Central Plains court whip could not take into account the convenience of Liaodong, and gradually encroached on the territory of Liaodong. Whenever the Central Plains Dynasty was weak and the situation was turbulent and there was no time to look eastward, Goguryeo would always join the army, plunder the wealth and forcibly seize the land.

Goguryeo is like a plague of scabies, although it cannot endanger the rise and fall of the Central Plains Dynasty, but it cannot be ignored......

But just as the ambitious British lord was planning to level Goguryeo, his son was pulling behind his back......

That is, His Majesty Li Er, if it were replaced by any previous king, this incident would be enough to set off a bloody storm, countless heads rolling to the ground, and countless people were full of white flags!

The dragon's reverse scales, those who touch it die!

Li Chengqian had no choice but to give a salute and retire, planning to go to the Jin Palace's mansion to comfort Li Zhi.

The young slave is young and arrogant, so it is better not to be hit by this blow and go to a dead end......

As soon as he left, His Majesty Li Er sighed with emotion in his heart, and an attendant came to report, Princess Changle and Princess Jinyang came together......

"Father, although the young slave brother made mistakes, why are you so ruthless?"

Princess Jinyang trotted forward and grabbed His Majesty Li Er's arm, her pretty face full of complaints and worries.

His Majesty Li Er was helpless, patted her hand, and explained: "It's about the court situation, what do you know about a little girl?" It's not that my father is ruthless, but I have to. ”

Looking at Princess Jinyang's eyes, he was full of doting.

The son-in-law is getting older, and his originally slightly chubby body is already as slender and slender as a willow branch, and his eyebrows and eyes are gradually opening.

He and Empress Wende have a deep affection, although Empress Wende has been dead for many years, the feelings in his heart have never diminished by half, but become more and more unforgettable as he grows older.

And the prince, the green sparrow, the childish slave, Changle, the son, and the little one...... This is all the blood and bones left by Empress Wende, every time he sees them grow up healthy and happy, he is extremely pleased, and feels that he has taken care of the child with Guanyin, which is the greatest comfort to her.

However, now, because of the battle between the brothers, they almost have to fight to the death......

Princess Changle sighed faintly on the side.

She is not as innocent and pure as Princess Jinyang, and she also has a little experience in court politics. Although the young slave is very likely to be dragged down by the people around him this time, the intention of his father's move is nothing more than to show his attitude to the people of the world - the position of the prince is not easy!

can only wronged the immature slave to be confined, otherwise the father can only kill the people around the immature slave.

However, that is absolutely unwilling to be done by the father, once the killing is launched, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court and shake the whole country, and the plan for the Eastern Expedition will have to be delayed......

Footsteps outside the hall sounded, and there were attendants who came to pass the ceremony, and Li Junxian asked to see him.

Li Junxian is a close minister of the emperor, and he has seen Princess Changle and Princess Jinyang many times, so naturally there is no need to avoid it, and His Majesty Li Er announced his visit.

Li Junxian strode into the hall, first saluted His Majesty Li Er, and then saluted the two princesses: "The last general has seen His Royal Highness Changle and His Royal Highness Jinyang. ”

The two princesses hurriedly returned the salute.

His Majesty Li Er asked, "Has the clerical decree ever been sent to Youzhou?" ”

Li Junxian said: "The last general sent Changshi Li Chongzhen to personally send the clerical decree, and now that he has left Tongguan, he must not make the slightest mistake in things." ”

His Majesty Li Er bowed his head and said: "Chongzhen, that kid is doing things safely, very well. ”

The holy decree sent to Youzhou was to order Youzhou Assassin Shi to arrest the Yuan family and wipe out the three clans......

How did His Majesty Li Er not know that King Jin was being dragged down this time?

It's just for the sake of the stability of the court situation, I have to trap the King of Jin to cut off the thoughts of those family valves, but the anger in the emperor's heart always has to have a way to vent, the Taiyuan Wang family can't move, the Jingzhao Wei family can't move, and the core of the Guanlong Group's eldest grandson family can't move, so only the unlucky ghost of Youzhou Yuan can bear the monstrous anger of His Majesty the Emperor......

Seeing that Li Junxian was retreating, His Majesty Li Er asked again, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Junxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, someone has seen the Yuming clan and Sun Simiao enter the mountain side by side in the Zhongnan Mountain......

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback: "Sun Simiao?!" ”

Li Junxian said: "Exactly! ”

"Ahh

His Majesty Li Er was very excited, took Princess Jinyang's hand, and said happily: "Previously, Fang Jun only learned the method of using sea fish to improve qi disease from Sun Simiao, and you have not been sick in the past two years. Now as long as Sun Daochang personally diagnoses and treats your pulse, you will definitely be rejuvenated, and you will no longer be affected by qi disease! ”

Fang Jun, who was far away in Jingyang, sneezed twice, and said in his heart which immoral ghost was scolding me behind his back?
