Cheng Zhijie was urgently summoned into the palace, Li Shimin called him to the Lingyan Pavilion, and ordered someone to guard the place, and no one was allowed to approach without his order.

"The criminal minister Cheng Zhijie has seen the emperor!"

Cheng Zhijie had already anticipated Li Shimin's anger, and he was ready to bear the anger.

Li Shimin didn't let him get up, Cheng Zhi kept kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin stood under a wall of Lingyan Pavilion, his head tilted slightly, looking at this empty wall, and said for a long time: "I am going to paint a portrait of each of you on this wall, and write it to commend your merits." ”

"The minister is afraid, and the minister deserves death."

Cheng Zhijie heard Li Shimin's extraneous meaning, he said on the surface that if he commends people with merit, he is actually telling himself that you have merit, but you have also had it.

Not only that, how could the portrait of Lingyan Pavilion be climbed casually?

Cheng Zhijie has made great achievements in battle, but Li Yun's death, as a great commander, is enough to offset all his exploits in the first half of his life.

Li Shimin couldn't hide the pain in his heart, as a generation of emperors, he couldn't help choking up and crying, the dead person was his favorite son.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Shimin didn't roar, he turned his back to Cheng Zhijie, his eyes closed slightly, in order to hide the fact that he was sad.

"The Cloud King was assassinated on the West Mountain,......"

In his heart, Cheng Zhijie did not elaborate, not because he was unwilling to tell the facts, but because he had his own plans, and in the following process, he told Li Shimin everything he knew.

After Li Shimin listened, he didn't speak, but he could feel the horror of the emperor's anger.

"Who did it?"

Thousands of anger gathered on his lips, and he could only sigh helplessly.

"The minister does not dare to make a decision." Cheng Zhijie said.

"Since you don't dare, then you have eyebrows?" Li Shimin asked, "Get up and talk." ”

Cheng Zhijie had been kneeling on the ground for half an hour, and he got up with a little difficulty, he was already a handful of age, and he had been kneeling for so long, so he couldn't help but feel a little tired.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting up, Cheng Zhijie changed his usual state, and his face suddenly became serious, no longer as simple and cute as outsiders see, and said: "The minister suspects that he did it!" ”

He?

Li Shimin opened his eyes abruptly and said, "What about the evidence? ”

"The minister has observed the wounds on King Yun's body, those wounds can only be caused by at least the masters of the Innate Realm, who else has so many masters under him."

Cheng Zhijie is not stupid, but very smart, his so-called stupidity is just the stupidity seen by outsiders, and he doesn't need to pretend to be stupid in front of people who really understand.

"Impossible, according to my eyeliner, he is in the Qinling Mountains at the moment, and it is impossible for him to appear in Chang'an." Li Shimin said.

"So I suspect he had eyeliner in our middle as well, otherwise he would have done it so easily." Cheng Zhijie said.

Mentioning this matter, Li Shimin said: "Didn't you say that you caught the fake Cheng Chumo and immediately escorted him to see me. ”

True or false?

This is really interesting, even Cheng Zhijie, who is an old man, did not recognize his son as a fake, indicating that this imposter is indeed a bit of a trick.

Then, Li Shimin sent people to the barracks to arrest the fake Cheng Chumo, but what he was waiting for was not a living thing, but a cold corpse.

"Suicide in fear of sin?!"

The people sent back to Li Shimin, saying that it was a fake, Cheng Chu committed suicide in fear of sin, and left a last word by his side, admitting the fact of colluding with thieves to kill Li Yun, as well as the crime of killing Taishou and others in Lincheng.

"I didn't die early, I didn't die when I played, but I died when I was looking for him, and it was really a time for him to die." Li Shimin said angrily.

"According to Lao Chen, it's not that it's not the right time for him to die, but that he is a pawn that will die in the plan, so there is no proof of his death, and his clues are completely cut off." Cheng Zhijie said.

Li Shimin clenched his fists, he really pulled out his sword and dismantled the man into eight pieces, but reason told him that he couldn't do this, and one of the reasons why that person killed Li Yun was to provoke Li Shimin.

In the Xuanwumen Revolution that year, Li Shimin united with his henchmen and generals to launch a coup d'état in the imperial city, killing the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji.

Now he is retaliating with a tooth for a tooth and killing Li Shimin's most proud son, which can be regarded as repaying the revenge of the year.

"Jieli is his man, I heard that you have also taken him to Beijing, and extorted some useful information from him, remember, you can't let him die again." Li Shimin said.

"The old minister understands."

"You are in charge of this matter, I will send Honglu Temple to announce to the outside world that Jieli has been arranged, and you will secretly interrogate at night, day and night, you must dig up useful information."

Li Shimin only had two words written on his face, "kill", he wanted to kill, he wanted to kill people very much, and said: "The reason why I have kept them all these years is to remember the old feelings of the emperor, but they have to inch in, so it is no wonder that my subordinates are ruthless." ”

"Is that really good? If the Emperor knew about this, he would definitely blame the emperor. ”

Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, forced Li Yuan to abdicate, and named Li Yuan as the emperor, although he was the emperor, but he had no power in his hands, Li Yuan was depressed in his later years, and he did not forgive Li Shimin.

for he killed his own brother and his own brother.

"I was merciful to my subordinates back then, but what about him? He actually assassinated my son, and this time, no matter what the Emperor said, I must kill him. ”

This time, Li Shimin was really angry, he has always been known for his benevolence, but he showed the sharp minions of his youth, and he once again butchered the knife towards the enemy.

"If it weren't for the Emperor back then, Your Majesty would definitely ......" Cheng Zhijie was halfway through his words, and the outsiders from Lingyan Pavilion said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang invited you over." ”

The only person who dares to ignore Li Shimin's order is probably this emperor, although Li Yuan has abdicated and no longer has the right, he is still Li Shimin's father and biological father.

There is no need to be polite to your son. And Li Shimin didn't dare to kill Li Yuan, he definitely didn't dare to recite the infamy of killing his father.

The Xuanwumen Revolution of that year had already endured the notoriety of killing his brother and killing his brother.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang is looking for you at this moment, I'm afraid it's for King Yun's business." Cheng Zhijie said.

"The news spread fast enough, but in half a day, it reached the ears of his old man." Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "You should start to do my affairs immediately, and there must be no mistakes, and you are still foolish in front of outsiders." ”

"I understand."

……

Da'an Palace.

The residence of Emperor Li Yuan, when Li Shimin's dragon came to the palace, he heard the singing and dancing in the palace.

After Li Shimin entered the palace, he asked all the palace maids who were dancing and stroking the piano to retreat, they had just died of their son, but they were happy, and they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

The palace maids and eunuchs all retreated in fright, leaving only Li Yuan, who was a little drunk.

Li Shimin is the emperor, and when he came to Li Yuan, he still had to bow and salute, saying: "The sons and daughters knock to see their father, and I wish my father and the emperor good health." ”

I saw Li Yuan drinking alone, treating Li Shimin as air, and not taking him seriously at all.

The estrangement between their father and son is mainly due to the change in Xuanwumen, and over the years, Li Yuan has not given Li Shimin any good looks.

Except for some grand banquets, Li Yuan almost didn't set foot in Da'an Palace, drank and had fun all day long, and was extravagant with prostitution, but gave Li Shisheng several younger brothers.

It's ironic.

Li Shimin has long been accustomed to it, and Li Yuan doesn't give Li Shimin face in front of outsiders, let alone in private, Li Shimin shouted several times before Li Yuan reluctantly agreed.

"I'm old, and my ears are good, but I don't hear." Li Yuan said angrily.

"Father's ears are indeed to be cured." Li Shimin didn't give him a good look, after all, he knew that his son had just died, so how could he be in the mood to please Li Yuan.

At this moment, Li Yuan was no longer deaf: "What did you just say?" ”

"It's nothing, if my father just brought his sons to play tricks on me, then I don't have time to accompany my father to tease my son, so I will leave." Li Shimin said just leave.

"Wait."

"What else does my father have to explain?"

"I heard your son died?" Li Yuan said.

"Father is laughing at me?" Li Shimin replied unhappily.

Li Yuan took a sip of the wine glass, and let out a cold snort from his nose: "The pain of losing a child, you can now understand my mood back then, I can only say, die well!" ”

"Father, King Yun is your own grandson, his bones are not cold, but as an elder, he said such things, is your heart made of stone?" Li Shimin was ruthless with helplessness.

"My heart is not a stone, but it is as cold as a stone, and it died five years ago." Li Yuan said, "You died from the moment you staged the coup d'état. ”

"The son is guilty, but is the father right? Half of the world of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by me, and you also promised to pass on the throne to me, but in the end? My father favors the eldest brother, and you don't joke, I just take back what belongs to me. Li Shimin said excitedly.

"Your stuff? Just to get your throne, you aimed the butcher's knife at your brother and brother, are you safe on this blood-stained dragon chair? Li Yuan questioned him in reverse, "The bitter fruits you washed down in the past are now repaid by your descendants, this is called karma." ”

"So that's why he killed my son?" Li Shimin said angrily.

"Yes, that's the reason, King Yun, he deserves to die."

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly and said, "Father, you really disappointed me, then I will tell you clearly today that I will not have him from now on." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I could kill him once, but now I can kill him a second time!"

"You dare?"

"He was the one who killed my son first, and from this day on, he will not die."

Li Shimin said that, and turned to leave.

At this time, a major event also happened in the barracks, Li Yun's body was gone.
