Looking at the expectant gaze of Empress Changsun, Li You was very embarrassed in his heart, he knew in his heart that if he let Li Tai go this time, Li Tai would never be a master of peace, and with the support of Li Shimin behind him, he might not cause much trouble for himself in the future.

However, Empress Changsun is really good to Li You, and she has always supported him over the years. He really couldn't bear to refuse her request, he said: "Queen Mother, Erchen has an idea to protect the fourth brother, but I'm afraid he won't want to." ”

As soon as Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she knew that Li Tai was saved, and she hurriedly said, "You say, I will definitely let him agree." ”

Li You said: "Queen Mother, let's do this...... What do you think? ”

Empress Eldest Sun said, "Okay, that's good. Thank you. ”

Li You said: "Queen Mother, Father and Fourth Brother, you go to work, and the others will be persuaded by their sons." ”

"Okay, You'er, thank you for your hard work." Empress Eldest Sun was relieved and said gratefully.

"Queen Mother, you don't have to worry too much, please take care of your body. The son took his leave. Li You said goodbye and left.

Today's early dynasty is over, and Li Shimin is worried that Wei Zheng and others will announce Li Tai's crimes in the early dynasty, so there will be no room for turning around. He wants to hurry up and find someone to discuss and see how to rescue Li Tai.

East Palace.

Li You saw Li Chengqian and informed him of the interrogation of Zhu Yi last night, Li Chengqian was overjoyed, he clenched his fists and said: "Okay, you Li Tai, you also have today." ”

Then, he said to Li You: "I will arrange for someone to impeach him, and he will definitely not be able to turn over." "His hatred for Li Tai has lasted for many years, and he wants to be beheaded immediately.

Li You didn't persuade him, let him get excited for a while and vent the resentment that had accumulated over the years. After his emotions gradually calmed down, Li You informed him of his meeting with Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

"You ......" Li Chengqian was so angry that he stood up suddenly. He said, "Fifth brother, how can you promise the queen mother like this? Didn't you let the tiger go back to the mountain? You, you're confused. ”

Li You didn't say anything, still waiting for him to finish the fire, Li Chengqian nagged a few words, seeing that Li You didn't say anything, he also calmed down and asked: "Fifth brother, I know that you have always done things reasonably, can you tell me why?" ”

"Big brother, if Li Tai is demoted to a commoner, in this case, don't you have the confidence to defeat him? Besides, what are you worried about? Even if Li Tai makes trouble again in the future, our brothers are still afraid that he won't succeed? Li You asked.

"If it can be like this, it will be a good feeling. I didn't say he had to die. Li Chengqian said. After all, he is kind-hearted, and he really doesn't want to put Li Tai to death.

"Isn't that the end of it? Big brother, your goal is to keep the crown prince, and to keep the crown prince mainly depends on the attitude of your father. Li Tai made such a big mistake that it was impossible not to be punished, and as long as he was reprimanded, he would lose the qualification to compete for the crown prince.

You also know that your father loves him, and now that he is in this situation, you can't fall into the trap, which will cause your father's dissatisfaction with you.

Besides, your mother also interceded for Li Tai, so you can't fight Li Tai at this time. ”

Li Chengqian said: "Oh, fifth brother, you also know that the eldest brother is stupid, so you just say let the eldest brother do what I do." ”

Li You said: "You must stand up, resolutely protect Li Tai, and go to your father and mother to intercede for Li Tai." Moreover, mobilize your people to intercede for him in court. Do you understand? ”

Li Chengqian's head turned unpleasantly, but he was not stupid. He said: "I understand, I, as a son, must be filial to my parents, and I can't let them lose Li Tai's son." ”

Li You said: "Big brother, if my expectations are good, Li Ke will definitely intercede for Li Tai." ”

Li You judged accurately.

There were Li Ke's cronies in the Imperial History Tower, and they quickly reported the letter to Li Ke, and when Li Ke heard the news, he immediately went to ask for the opinions of Quan Wanji and Cen Wenwen.

Zeng Wenwen and Quan Wanji also believe that Li Tai will definitely be completely degraded this time, and he is no longer a candidate to compete for the crown prince. Now that he's out, it doesn't matter if he's alive or dead. They suggested that Li Ke intercede for Li Tai and win the favor of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

Li You promised the eldest grandson, and the pressure was very great. This matter is very troublesome, first of all, Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng is jealous and hateful, and law enforcement is like a mountain, and it is basically impossible to persuade him to release the water.

In addition, the families of those who were killed by Li Tai's instigation are not so easy to deal with.

Besides, Li Tai's usual behavior disgusted the ministers, and they wished that Li Tai would be unlucky. The officials who were dealt with in the past were far less guilty than Li Tai, but they were beheaded and their homes were raided. Everyone watched that if the imperial court disposed of Li Tai unfairly, there would definitely be an uproar between the government and the opposition, where was the dignity of the law?

If the laws of a country are not trusted by its citizens, then the country is not far from collapse.

Wei Wangfu.

Last night, Li Tai almost didn't sleep all night, not only did he have no internal response in the Yushitai now, but most of the ministers in the court and the people close to him were grass on the wall, and seeing that Li Tai was getting more and more sluggish, they all began to alienate him.

After Zhu Wei's accident, there were fewer and fewer people in his house who could use it. Since that day he was demoted to the king of the county, Wang Jingwei also followed the bad luck, he went from the long history of the fourth grade to the book of the fifth grade of the county king's mansion, he was angry and went home to recuperate.

Therefore, after dawn, Li Tai still did not get any news. His only way was to find Li Shimin. As soon as he got up, he wanted to enter the palace, but he had already looked for Li Shimin twice yesterday, and it was obviously inappropriate to disturb him so early.

Soon, he got the news that he was exempted from the early dynasty today, and he had a premonition that it was not good, I am afraid that it was related to his own affairs, and it was estimated that Zhu Yu confessed to the evidence that was unfavorable to him.

Li Tai was suddenly a little scared, and he hurriedly sent someone to the Furong Garden to see what was going on there.

At half past nine in the morning, the man sent to the Hibiscus Garden returned, and he reported the bad news that the Hibiscus Garden had been surrounded by the soldiers of the Jin Wuwei, and that the Imperial History of the Imperial Observatory had appeared there.

"It's over." Lee Tae collapsed on the couch with a buttocks.

Soon after, a messenger eunuch came, and he delivered a message from Li Shimin, telling Li Tai to stay in the mansion and not go out. This is Li Shimin's fear that Li Tai will mess up and go out to do something out of the ordinary, and the situation will be even more difficult to clean up.

Liangyi Palace, study.

Li Shimin successively found the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen and solicited their opinions. 8)
