Chapter 18: Brothers Against Brothers
Wei Chi returned to the general's mansion and asked the housekeeper if his father had come back, it turned out that his father had returned to the mansion earlier today, and now he was in the study.
He walked briskly to the study, knocked on the door, and got his father's permission before pushing the door in.
"I've seen my father."
Without taking his eyes off the book in his hand, General Wei Chi motioned for Wei Chi to sit down, and said in a very normal tone: "You are back, you recently went to Guozijian to inspect, didn't you go to Pingkangfang?" ”
"Nope." Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, General Wei Chi looked at his son, knowing that he had something to say, and put down the book in his hand.
"Pauline, but what's the matter?"
"Father, do you know how Baekje destroyed the country?"
"Why did you suddenly ask about it for so long? When Baekje destroyed the country, I was stationed in the capital, and I only heard the emperor mention this matter afterwards. ”
"It is said that the Baekje royal family is not incompetent, but has suffered from floods and droughts all year round, and the national strength is weak and the people's livelihood is difficult."
"Silla asked me for help from the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor sent more than 100,000 troops to help Silla break the city in one fell swoop, and the Baekje royal family was martyred, and the scene was extremely tragic."
"Father, the Baekje royal family is surnamed Buyeo?"
"Really, what's wrong?"
"There is a foreign student from Fusang in Guozijian, who is also surnamed Fuyu, and his name is Fuyufeng."
"You are now on duty in the country, if you are really not at ease, pay more attention to his behavior, and help you tomorrow for your father to inquire with other officials who know about this matter."
"By the way, Princess Jinyang has no problem in Guozijian recently, right? Nothing can go wrong. General Wei Chi told his son.
"I understand, Princess Jinyang also knows Fuyufeng, I will pay close attention, what is my father's worries about in the court recently?"
"The prince is getting more and more uncomfortable when he comes in, and King Wei's behavior is really worrying."
"Father thinks things are going to get out of your control?"
"It's hard to say, looking at the situation really to that point, there will be a bloody storm above the court." General Wei Chi was worried.
"Once the crown prince and King Wei break up, I'm afraid the emperor will have to prepare in advance."
The father and son knew that this topic could not be further explored, and they were silent.
Who knew that the storm was already approaching in the palace.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!" A palace man came in in a panic to report and knelt on the ground in panic.
"What's the fuss?" Li Shimin is in Concubine Yang's palace, and Concubine Yang is waiting for her life.
"Your Majesty! The King of Wei, the Crown Prince, the King of Wei and the Crown Prince have broken into the palace! The palace man's trembling voice.
"Panic, what a system! Is it the crown prince or the king of Wei! Li Shimin's voice was already angry!
Before the words fell, I only heard Li Tai, the king of Wei, breaking into Concubine Yang's palace in a menacing manner.
"The father is in charge, and the prince is trying to assassinate his son! Fortunately, the son's life escaped, and he asked his father to be the master of the son's minister! Li Tai knelt on one knee and said to Li Shimin with his fists clenched.
"Get up and tell me what's going on!"
"Father, the person sent by the prince to assassinate his sons has been captured alive, and he has confessed that he was instructed by the prince to try to kill his sons!"
"What about the prince, didn't you just say that the prince also broke into the palace?" Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Tai couldn't make a noise anymore, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
"Back to the emperor, the prince was stopped at the door and was waiting for the order at the door!"
"Waiting? Hmph, one by one, it's nice to say, this is the harem, it's Concubine Yang's bedroom! ”
Li Shimin still has half a sentence unspoken, they can break into the palace without a will, they can break into the palace today, and they can force the palace tomorrow!
Li Shimin has always had a strong temperament, and he can endure such a big rebellion, which shows that he also realizes how incompatible his two most proud sons are.
The crown prince was led to Li Shimin by the palace people, knelt on the ground with his legs, and slammed his forehead on the ground: "Father Emperor Mingjian, no matter how foolish the sons are, they will not kill each other, and the sons are wronged!" ”
Li Tai glared at the prince angrily, and the anger was not that he was assassinated, but that the prince did not admit it!
"Go back, all of you, I'm tired. The matter ...... I will investigate this matter thoroughly. ”
Li Shimin felt very powerless in his heart, and he had no idea for a while.
Seeing Li Shimin's appearance, Li Tai couldn't help but retreat angrily when he wanted to say something.
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the prince immediately retired.
"Concubine Yang, they are all my sons, how could it be like this!" Li Shimin was very painful, and even wondered if maybe Empress Changsun was still alive, would this kind of thing not happen!
Concubine Yang was silent, just quietly following behind Li Shimin, who was pacing.
