Chapter 505: Empress Eldest Sun's Bet
Lizheng Palace.
Li Shimin came to the bedroom of Empress Changsun and saw her sitting on the sofa with a good face.
Seeing Li Shimin coming, Empress Changsun got up to salute him, and said to the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, "You guys go out first." ”
Li Shimin sat beside her and asked with concern: "Guanyin, are you feeling better, why don't you let Sun Simiao treat you?" ”
Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "It's nothing, the concubine just doesn't want to be treated anymore." After the concubine leaves, Erlang, take care of yourself. ”
Li Shimin was startled, he heard that the eldest grandson queen was going to leave him. He asked eagerly, "What is the extent of your illness?" Does it hurt? He thought that Empress Changsun's condition must have progressed to a certain extent, and the pain was unbearable for her, so he gave up the treatment and wanted to relieve herself as soon as possible.
Empress Changsun said: "The concubine's body doesn't hurt, but her heart hurts badly. ”
Hearing Empress Changsun say this, Li Shimin's heart felt much better. He heard it, it turned out that the eldest grandson queen was in a mood. However, he was really nervous.
The methods commonly used by women when they are emotional, such as crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves, will inevitably be performed from time to time for ordinary women. But the eldest grandson queen is the mother of the country, but it has never happened to her. He really couldn't imagine why Empress Eldest Sun would use such a threatening method.
Li Shimin asked: "Guanyin, what are you embarrassed about?" Just say it, and I'll do it for you. "He felt that there was no problem that he couldn't solve.
Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said, "You can't do this. ”
Empress Changsun's words aroused Li Shimin's curiosity more and more, and he patted his chest and said: "Guanyin, you say, you just want the moon in the sky, and I will take it off for you." ”
Empress Changsun said: "The concubine just wants Qingque to leave Chang'an. ”
"This? Guanyin, Qingque is praying for you all day long, why are you? Li Shimin said puzzled.
Empress Eldest Sun asked: "So, the concubine's illness doesn't need to be treated by Sun Simiao, just let Qingque pray for blessings." ”
Li Shimin was unhappy, he said: "Qingque is your own son, why are you so ruthless? ”
Empress Changsun said: "Erlang, it is precisely because Qingque is my biological son that I want to protect him." ”
Li Shimin said angrily: "With me, who dares to do anything to him?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun said in her heart: "What if you are gone? However, she didn't say it, but said lightly: "Erlang, the concubine is tired, so she can't accompany you, please forgive the concubine for retiring first." ”
Li Shimin was very unhappy, flicked his sleeves, and left in a huff.
After Li Shimin left, Empress Changsun sat there in a daze, tears streaming down her face.
Why is the eldest grandson queen like this?
A few months ago, Empress Changsun's body was getting weaker and weaker, and she felt that she was not long dead. On the sickbed, she began to think about what was behind her.
First she thought of her children.
Li Chengqian is getting more and more progressive, and he is becoming more and more like a prince, and he has the support of Li You and Changsun Wuji and others, and he will definitely be able to have a good ending in the future.
Li Zhi has a good relationship with her brothers, and she is not worried.
The daughters are all golden branches and jade leaves, whether they are still there or not, there should be no problem in marrying a good family.
What she was most worried about was Li Tai.
Empress Changsun knew that over the years, Li Tai had been pressing Li Chengqian step by step, and Li Chengqian was full of anger towards him in his heart, once he and Li Shimin were gone, Li Chengqian would definitely kill Li Tai.
If you want to save Li Tai's life, there are two ways, one is that Li Shimin will pass the throne to Li Tai, this matter is unimaginable at all, not to mention whether he can become the emperor, if Li Tai becomes the emperor, Li Chengqian will definitely die.
Originally, Li Chengqian was the crown prince, and it was reasonable, and the eldest grandson queen could not abandon Li Chengqian to protect Li Tai.
Originally, Empress Changsun had reached an agreement with Li You to arrange for Li Tai to leave Chang'an and no longer pose a threat to Li Chengqian, and Li You promised to let Li Tai live a rich life and live a peaceful life. And Li Tai's children will also be properly arranged, such an ending is what the eldest grandson queen is willing to see.
It's a pity that Lee Tae broke the agreement again. In the name of praying for the eldest grandson, he moved Li Shimin and stayed in Chang'an again. The next thing made Empress Changsun even more worried.
The first is Wei Zheng, who was belittled by Li Shimin for questioning Li Shimin's violation of the law and forcibly pardoning Li Tai.
Then, Fang Xuanling was reprimanded by Li Shimin for speaking for Wei Zheng, and now he is sick at home.
The eldest grandson Wuji and others spoke for Wei Zheng, and they were also criticized by Li Shimin without naming him, and now the ministers dare not speak casually when they see Li Shimin.
After one of Li Tai's brothers-in-law, Fu Quan, was transferred from Yuzhou to supervise the imperial history and took over Wei Zheng's position, he first found an excuse to investigate and punish Ma Zhou, the minister of urban construction, which was recommended by Li You to Li Chengqian.
That's not all, Fu Quan also pointed the finger at Li You's father-in-law, Xiao Dongchang, to investigate his corruption.
Li Tai wants to take advantage of Li You's absence in Chang'an to knock off Li You's wings. This understands that he is going to fight Li Chengqian and Li You to the end.
He is dying, and Empress Changsun knows that Li You can save Li Tai and ask for Li Tai's life. As long as he made up his mind to put Li Tai to death, even Li Shimin would not be able to save him.
Empress Changsun has already seen that this matter is not just Li Tai's problem, but Li Shimin wants to use Li Tai's matter to establish his authority.
Li Shimin originally had a very high prestige in the court, and most ministers wholeheartedly supported him. However, in the matter of Li Tai, he favored Li Tai again and again, which caused great dissatisfaction among everyone, and his prestige began to gradually decrease.
It is said that if Li Shimin can handle the Li Tai incident fairly, the ministers will respect and love Li Shimin as before, and his prestige will even be further enhanced.
However, Li Shimin has been emperor for too long, and he has already begun to break away from the masses. When he felt that his authority was beginning to diminish, he made the wrong choice. He wants to use Li Tai's incident to make the ministers feel awe-inspired, so that everyone understands that this country belongs to him Li Shimin, and he can do whatever he wants.
Everyone in the court is in danger, and the ministers' heartfelt love for Li Shimin has begun to turn into fear. This is a terrible sign.
Faced with such a situation, Empress Eldest Sun was deeply worried.
As a wife, she has to defend her husband and hope that he will not make mistakes; As a mother, she loves her children and does not want them to kill each other; As a queen, she has the obligation to help Li Shimin and maintain a fair and clear court.
Li Shimin is a domineering person, Empress Changsun can't persuade him, the only thing she can do is sacrifice herself to warn Li Shimin.
So, she stopped the treatment. After talking with Li Shimin today, she decided not only to give up Sun Simiao's acupuncture treatment, but also to stop taking medicine.
Empress Changsun wants to make a bet with Li Shimin, and her bet is the relationship with Li Shimin for more than 20 years.
Li Shimin was a strong man, he was never afraid of threats, so he never went to the palace again.
On this day, Wang De said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the queen has fainted." "I want to talk to more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
