Yongxiang.

When Wei Zheng arrived at the emperor's bed, the gate of the emperor's bed, Yuehua Gate, had not yet opened, so he had to wait at the door. When the eunuchs saw Wei Zheng, naturally someone went to report to Wang De. Wang De saw that Li Shimin was still asleep, so he came to Yuehua's door in person, wanting to ask Wei Zheng if there was anything urgent.

As soon as Wang De came to Yuehua Gate, he saw that Li You, the king of Qi, was also at the door, and he was persuading Wei Zheng to go back, and he would report to Li Shimin.

It turned out that after Li You left the Yushitai, he didn't feel anything at the time when he saw Wei Zheng going to report to Li Shimin. However, when he walked to the Suzaku Gate, he suddenly felt that with Li Shimin's favor for Li Tai, he was afraid that he would be very angry about the matter of the Yushitai tracking down Li Tai. And Wei Zheng has a straight temper, and if he doesn't get it right, he will anger Li Shimin.

Wei Zheng is a rare courtier, and he must be protected. There is also Li Chengqian, this matter must not be let him get involved, otherwise Li Shimin will be angry with him.

Therefore, Li You decided that he would report this matter to Li Shimin himself, take the responsibility for investigating and punishing Li Tai on himself, and bear Li Shimin's anger by himself.

Under Li You's persuasion, Wei Zheng left Miyagi.

In the summer in the northwest, the day dawns very early. The eunuchs and palace maids who got up early were already busy, ready to serve the masters and get up.

Li Shimin is a military general, he has the habit of getting up early, although he is now old and does not ride a horse to practice martial arts like before, he still gets up early. When Wang De saw Li Shimin getting up, he said to him: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qi asks to see him." ”

Li Shimin felt "chuckled" in his heart, feeling very bad. He guessed that it might be Li Tai's guard captain Zhu Yu confessed, and there must be some evidence against Li Tai. He said angrily, "Call him in." ”

When Li Shimin saw Li You, he said directly: "Did you go to interrogate that Zhu Yu last night?" ”

Li You said calmly: "Yes." ”

Li Shimin asked, "What did he confess?" ”

Li You took out the backup of Zhu Ji's confession provided by the Yushitai, as well as the record of the Yushitai raiding the Furong Garden overnight, and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said angrily after seeing it: "Li You, why don't you know the general situation? Do you have to make things like this? Why can't you leave a way for your fourth brother to live? ”

Li You shook his head, sighed, and said, "Father, do you think it's appropriate for you to say this?" It's not that I don't leave Li Tai a way to live, it's that he doesn't leave us a way to live. If you look at the things he did, how many people could be as ruthless as he was? If a person like him is about to gain power, Erchen and others will all die without a place to be buried.

Besides, how many times has Li Tai targeted me? Did I take revenge on him? I know everything about the matter between him and the eldest grandson Shunde, but I didn't mention it. "Tuodi Zhi" is suspected of corruption, and I didn't check him last time. Haven't you saved face for him yet?

This time, if he just wanted not to leave Chang'an and played some bitter tricks, I wouldn't ignore him. However, why did he want to blame this matter on the prince's brother?

You ask Erchen why? Erchen just didn't want to be killed by him. ”

In fact, after reading Zhu Yi's confession, Li Shimin also felt that Li Tai was too ruthless, but he still felt that Li You and others were too hasty. He sat down on the bed and said, "You guys have made things like this, what should you do in the future?" ”

Li You asked: "Father, the son asks you, if someone else embezzles so much money, carelessly disregards people's lives, kills people and sets fires, what will you do?" ”

Li Shimin was in an extremely sad mood, his relationship with Li Tai was too deep, not only father and son, but also confidant and friend. If he really disposes of Li Tai, he can't accept it emotionally.

Seeing Li Shimin's depressed appearance, Li You said: "Father, the son has something in his heart to tell you a long time ago. However, there was never a chance. Today, whether you are happy or not, Erchen has a few words.

Father, you are wise and martial, and you are the first emperor of the ages in the hearts of tens of millions of subjects, and your sons and ministers have great admiration for you.

However, you are not up to par in your approach to family issues. Why there are disputes in the court, this is directly related to your favoritism towards Li Tai. If you do this, it is tantamount to conniving at Li Tai, making him think about the position of the crown prince, and also putting a lot of pressure on my prince's brother.

Hey, forget it, make a big sense in front of you, Erchen is getting an axe in the banmen. Erchen just wants to say that if Li Tai becomes the crown prince, my eldest brother, third brother, including me, will definitely have no way to live. Li Tai is ruthless in his work, and he has no responsibility, and his subordinates are about to be betrayed by him. If you don't believe it, he will definitely blame Zhu Wei for all this time. Such a person, do you still think he is filial?

Erchen dares to bet with you that once he becomes the crown prince, when you are old, if you don't give way to him, you will become a stumbling block to him, and the first person he will deal with will be you. Erchen said disrespectful words, Li Tai has come to this point, you have a great responsibility. The main reason why he is like this is because you are used to it. ”

Li You's words gave Li Shimin a heavy blow, and he was silent.

Li Shimin sat there, and his mind flashed the figures of Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and other sons.

He suddenly found that although he didn't like Li Chengqian, he never thought that Li Chengqian would engage in any conspiracy. Li Ke has a strong personality, and if he wants to say that he has the idea of competing for the crown prince, Li Shimin thinks it may be. However, Li Ke did not harm people behind his back.

Not to mention Li You's kid. In addition to constantly surprising himself, he never causes trouble for himself.

But Li Tai, he really doesn't do anything, just do some things to stir up trouble. Now it has intensified, and he has even committed the act of embezzling huge amounts of property and not hesitating to kill people and set fire to cover up his crimes.

Li Shimin suddenly felt tired and said, "Li You, you go down first." ”

Li You left the emperor's bed, and as soon as he walked to the Yuehua Gate, he saw Ye Rong, the personal maid of the eldest grandson empress, waiting for him there, and said to him: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qi, the queen mother, please come over." ”

Only then did Li You discover that there were basically no secrets around Li Shimin, and he had just talked to Li Shimin, and Empress Eldest Sun knew about it. "It seems. In the future, you should be more careful when talking to Li Shimin. Li You said in his heart.

Lizheng Palace.

After Li You saluted, Empress Eldest Sun asked worriedly, "Li You, what did Qingque commit, did he violate the law of the country?" ”

Li You didn't hide it, so he told Empress Changsun about Li Tai.

Empress Eldest Sun's face was extremely ugly, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears. She said: "Li You, no matter what crime Li Tai committed, I will always be his mother. As a mother, please save Li Tai. As he spoke, he was going to salute Li You.

Li You hurriedly avoided and said, "Queen Mother, don't be like this, torture your sons." ”

Empress Changsun said: "Li You, I know that you have a way, and you will definitely be able to rescue Li Tai." She knew that Li Tai had offended a lot of people, he was too arrogant, and the ministers wanted to see him unlucky. Now his crime is serious and the evidence is conclusive, even Li Shimin can't save him. Li You has excellent wisdom and good popularity, if he is willing to stretch out his hand, Li Tai will still have a glimmer of life.

After the eldest grandson queen finished speaking, she looked at Li You with anticipation. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
