Chapter 35: Slander before the Temple

"Please ask my father to consider the safety of the world and issue an order to kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin!" The person who asked for the face saint was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and as for the crown prince, after the next dynasty, he should have been in the imperial study room with several adults in Zhongshu Province to review the folds.

Several adults in Zhongshu Province quickly bowed their heads when they heard this, only by treating themselves as deaf and dumb people, people who have been in the court for half their lives, always know what to do is the best for themselves

"King Qin has merit in pacifying the world, and there is no fault, how to issue an order to kill the heroes, wouldn't it make millions of soldiers feel cold?" Li Yuan didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth to refuse. Because of his deep affection for Queen Dou, he hoped that the children from Queen Dou would be alive, but they did not hurt the children of other concubines to fight, but fought first.

"Father, when the King of Qin pacified the Turks, he befriended the Turkic Turkic Khan with a personal relationship, and ordered Zhang Liang to gather heroes and strong forces in Luoyang to form an army. If his father wanted to kill the King of Qin, why should he worry that there was no reason? ”

Hearing him mention Zhang Liang's gathering of heroes, Li Yuan remembered that after Zhang Liang was imprisoned, Li Shimin cried bitterly in front of him.

"Father, the prince's brother wants to kill me, but I'm just trying to protect myself! Does the father really want his son to die at the hands of his brother? If the father wants his son to die, the son will naturally kill without saying a word, but the father is still reluctant to give up his son. ”

"Father, the son has agreed to sit in Luoyang, the son of heaven will hold the flag, what is the difference between the son of the son and the son? Could it be that Cheng Erchen would really set up a banner of the Son of Heaven in his own territory and openly oppose his brother? ”

Li Minmin's words really moved Li Yuan, and he was reluctant to let his son die, whether it was Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin. And he said that he had agreed to sit in Luoyang, and he had already agreed that King Qin would set up the banner of the Son of Heaven on his own, so at this time, it was just a gathering of heroes and strong to protect himself, could he really let the prince find out the final evidence and put this son to death?

If there really is a son who must die, and the world of the Tang Dynasty can live in peace, Li Yuan is more willing to keep this second son, after all, he led the soldiers to shed blood in this world, and beat it down little by little, even if it is returned to him? Now that he is just trying to protect himself, how can he not do it? Then he issued an edict to release Zhang Liang, who was still in prison in Dali Temple.

When he acted that day, he really didn't inform the prince for a while, but he didn't want King Qi to still use Zhang Liang's matter as an excuse.

"In this case, the prince will talk about Zhang Liang, is there any final evidence?" Li Yuan didn't say why he let Zhang Liang go, but only asked the prince Li Jiancheng, who was sitting next to Feng Deyi with a low brow, and read the folds with his hands.

The crown prince didn't want to come forward, so as not to leave the charge of not allowing his brother, but at this time the emperor had personally ordered him, if he could not stand up again, it would be disrespectful to the emperor's authority, although in private, they could also intersect with His Majesty as father and son, and there was no too much restraint in what they did, but at this time there were still officials from Zhongshu Province in the imperial study, he categorically did not dare to be presumptuous, so he stood up and saluted respectfully and then replied, "Back to my father, although the other people involved have confessed, but that Zhang Liang is stubborn, Sui Erchen did not receive conclusive evidence. ”

What Li Jiancheng means is that only Zhang Liang has not yet been detained, and the others have already confessed. But on the contrary, Li Yuan wanted to protect Li Shimin, even though Li Jiancheng had hinted clearly, Li Yuanwu thought he didn't understand, "There is no complete evidence, how can I say that my son is rebelling?" ”

"Besides, the matter of righteousness was mentioned by the Turkic Turkic Khan himself, in order to establish diplomatic relations with my Tang Dynasty, and the alliance with the King of Qin is just because of admiration for the martial arts of the King of Qin, what are you coveting?" Although Li Yuan said this to Li Yuanji, he essentially said to listen to Li Jiancheng.

"Besides, if your brothers work together, what does it matter who the Turki Khan worships with?" In essence, there is indeed nothing wrong with this statement, Li Shimin and the Turkic Khan's rebellion means that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are united, and since then they have been brother city-states, echoing each other, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng, or Li Yuanji, when they arrive in that Turkic land, they can be treated well.

But in the current situation, his brothers are not united, and even to the point of life and death, they categorically do not believe that the wise father will not see it, but they don't want to see him kill each other.

"If my father really refuses to give the order to kill the King of Qin, I ask you to order the expulsion of all the traitors in the palace of the King of Qin, and cut off the wings of the King of Qin, so as to eliminate the heart of the King of Qin to seize the heir, so as to ensure the long-term peace and stability of my Tang Dynasty." Li Yuanji retreated to the second, the order to kill, he and the prince knew in their hearts that Li Yuan would not agree, so the real purpose of his trip was not to get rid of Li Shimin, but to abolish the talented people around Li Shimin, since they could not be wooed, they could only reduce the role they could play by Li Shimin's side.

Li Yuan pondered for a long time, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also waited for a long time.

In the end, Li Yuan finally asked, "Who is the traitor?" ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji glanced at each other when they heard this, and their hearts were overjoyed, "Xingtai Gonglang Zhongfang Xuanling and Qin Wangfu belong to Du Ruhui." ”

"The Holy One agreed?" Hearing this, Chen Feng could not continue to maintain a calm and calm demeanor, he was slightly flustered, leaned forward slightly to look at Feng Deyi who was sitting opposite, and Li Shimin, who was sitting in the first seat, also set his eyes on Feng Deyi who was sitting on his lower left.

Being so forced by the eyes of the two of them, Feng Deyi, who was walking in front of the Son of Heaven, was a little uncomfortable, and tried his best to suppress this uneasiness before he nodded, "If nothing else, the edict of the Son of Heaven should have arrived at the Fang Mansion and the Du Mansion at this time." ”

In fact, as Feng Deyi said, at this time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had already received the edict of the Son of Heaven, ordering Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui not to get close to the Qin Palace.

Receiving this news, Fang Du and the others were no less panicked than Li Shimin at this time, which was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, and the whole Qin Wangfu trembled.

After sending Feng Deyi away, Li Shimin returned to the study with Chen Feng, "How does Mr. think this matter should be handled?" ”

Chen Feng didn't answer directly, but asked, "Has Your Highness made up your mind to get rid of the crown prince and the king of Qi?" It's not that Chen Feng is troublesome, but that he knows the indecisive nature of this King of Qin before he encounters a major event.

"This ......" Hearing this, King Qin hesitated.

"Although it is imminent at this time, if His Highness has not made up his mind, there is no other way." Chen Feng said respectfully.
