Chapter 691: Father and Son Cannibalism (Part II)
With the passage of time, people will eventually change, there is no immutable person in the world, most people have become more mature and stable under the washing of the years, more understand responsibility, and know that life is not easy, even if it is not a fight, at least they will strive to be harmless to society and not cause trouble to human beings.

Of course, there is another kind of person, as the age grows, but it becomes worse and worse, and the smart and well-behaved when they are young just form a strong inverse ratio, from the perspective of human nature, in fact, it also makes sense, good children have been too long, and the expectations of their parents and elders are getting bigger and bigger, so the pressure on their shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, and the weight is breathless, so in the process of growing up, they can't help but be curious about the "bad" word that their parents and elders told them not to learn the bad word, and they want to know what it feels like to be "bad". Can you make your elders expect less and care more about yourself, or can you make yourself less tired and less stressed after you become bad?
A good boy becomes a bad kid, and sometimes the reason is as simple as that. If it is something that happens in an ordinary family, at most it can only cause the disappointment of parents, the heartache of elders, and the unscrupulous troubles of bad children, but if this child who has learned bad is high and wants to inherit the prince of the East Palace of the entire country in the future, and this prince still has a lot of power in his hands, as well as a group of military generals who can work hard for glory and wealth, then the harm caused by this bad boy can be much more serious than that of ordinary families.
Li Chengqian has seen with his own eyes the consequences of the trouble he caused, countless heads fell to the ground, countless families fell apart overnight, countless women were about to suffer a lifetime of humiliation, and countless children who had no worries about food and clothing and grew up happily had to become official slaves who could never be opened.
An order has changed the fate of countless people.
All of this is because a bad boy caused a big disaster.
Li Shimin has countless enemies in his life, from the Sui Dynasty to the present, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has opened more and more, and there are more and more enemies, Li Shimin has a mind and bearing, he never takes the enemy to heart, but all the hatred that cannot be resolved, the enemy who cannot forgive each other, then, directly crush the past, let the enemy reincarnate again.
But Li Shimin didn't expect that the eldest son, who he once loved so much, would also become his enemy, the kind that he didn't share.
This is the most painful thing for Li Shimin, if he was still complacent about the honorific title of "Tian Khan" before, and there was a state of "I just like you and hate me so much that I grit my teeth but I am helpless", then until tonight, the betrayal of the eldest son finally smashed his proud shell.
Li Shimin once betrayed his relatives, not only betrayed, but also killed his own brother, his eldest brother was shot by him in the Xuanwu Gate, his father was forced to the palace by him, forced to Zen the throne, everything he wanted was obtained. But tonight, he finally tasted what it was like to be betrayed by his relatives, it turned out to be so painful, like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, and he couldn't help but die, and for a moment, he even felt that all thoughts were lost, and he felt that his life was so a failure.
The betrayal of relatives was finally put down, the process was very easy, this was an immature rebellion, a rebellion plan negotiated by a few unsuccessful gentlemen, how could it be against these old and treacherous monarchs and ministers who had gone through a hundred battles? At this moment, the main culprit of the rebellion is kneeling in front of him, and Li Shimin still controls all the life and death in the world, including the life and death of this main culprit. But...... Li Shimin still felt heartbroken, so painful that his breath was suffocated, and his heart was like a pinprick.
What should I do with my own son?
Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian, his expression changed rapidly, he hesitated, and his tears flowed more and more.
"Cheng Qian, what do you want? Demand? I gave you access to the government, and in the fourth year of Zhenguan, I issued an edict, allowing the crown prince to 'order a lawsuit', and said, 'But those who are not in Shangshu Province will be enlightened in the East Palace, and Cheng Qian will be decided',...... Want money? Last year, I issued an edict that 'the crown prince should not be restricted from using the treasury',...... Want to be beautiful? Over the years, under the guise of heaven, your East Palace subordinate officials have searched for the beauty of the world everywhere, only in Yongzhou, around Chang'an City, there are no less than 100 beauties who have offered you a year, so many beauties have entered your East Palace, not to mention, you are still a fisherman, raising male pets, the male pet named 'Satisfactory' has been favored by you in recent years, every time there is an impeachment of the imperial history, I am a blind eye......"
Li Shimin lamented: "Power, money, sex, everything in the world is acceptable, nothing more than these, Cheng Qian, I have given everything you want, I am the co-master of the world, I can afford anything you want, I just ask you to be right-minded, study the words of the sages, the art of the emperor, and inherit this country without worries in the future, but you ...... What do you want but don't get it, but you come to seek your father's rebellion! ā
Li Chengqian hung his head and wept: "Erchen...... I just want to die, father, to this day, some words don't matter what the ministers say, my father loved me and spoiled me in the early years, I deeply feel my father's kindness, and often think about repaying it, but since nine years of Zhenguan, why did the father have more favor to Wei Wangtai, at that time the son was still a conscientious, diligent and sensible prince, and never did anything to disappoint the father, the father favored him more and more, leading the court and the opposition subjects to discuss, and the position of the prince gradually became unstable, the son was forced to fight at that time, in order to keep the position of the East Palace, he fought with Wei Wang Taiming, Gradually changed his mind......"
"Father, since the country is mine, why is it so favored to King Wei? Father may wish to ask himself, over the years, Wei Wangtai's palace, carriages and horses, honor guards, field gifts, etc., all exceed the etiquette system a lot, and even the honor guards are side by side with the sons, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other old ministers have repeatedly admonished, saying that the father's reward is very generous, for fear of causing turmoil in the hearts of the court and the wilderness, have you accepted the advice? The father favored him, and he gave a reward without thinking about it, have you ever thought that every time you give him a point, the prestige of the prince will be weakened, and the son will hate you and Li Tai even more in his heart! You asked me why I became like this, Father, I will tell you the answer, I was forced to be like this by you and the people of the world! ā
When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at Li Chengqian, who was crying, in a daze, and only felt a buzzing in his ears for a while, and his whole person was dizzy and almost wanted to fall.
"In the ninth year of Zhenguan, your mother's eldest grandson queen died, Wei Wangtai often cried in front of me about the pain of losing his mother, his body has always been bad, every time he cries to forgetfulness, he has shortness of breath and chest tightness, and his limbs are in danger of twitching, plus he has been diligent and studious since he was a child, full of economy, I am deeply happy, and I also deeply pity it, so there is often a gift of forgetfulness, I know that you are dissatisfied, in fact, it is also intentional, so that you know the crisis and dare not slack off, I didn't expect you to hate me like this......" Li Shimin's cheeks twisted painfully.
Li Chengqian cried: "Since my father likes him so much and pities him, he should be canonized as the crown prince in the first year of Zhenguan, and his sons can also leave a life, and be a free prince for the rest of his life. The father has a thought in his heart, but has he ever thought about the life of his son? ā
Li Shimin said angrily with tears in his eyes: "No matter what, you shouldn't rebel!" If you had told me these words, how could I not know what was at stake? If you do such a rebellious thing tonight, it will be known to the whole world after dawn, even if I am the emperor, I will definitely not be able to suppress such a big thing, how can you teach me how to forgive you? ā
Li Chengqian smiled sadly: "From the moment the son of the minister acted, he no longer had the idea of life, and it was better to die like this tonight than to be killed by the new monarch after being deposed in the future." ā¦ā¦ Father, son-in-law has nothing to say, these years have failed the high expectations of his father and the world, and his son-in-law only wants to die, begging his father to deal with it. ā
Li Shimin was in tears, staring at him deeply, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance deeply into his bones.
I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin suddenly turned around, raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, but his tone suddenly became as cold as ice.
"Come on, pass on the decree, and write the Provincial Ministry of Rites to draft the "Edict of the Abolition of the Crown Prince".
Behind him, Li Chengqian smiled with relief and knelt down deeply towards Li Shimin.
"Son, thank your father, the emperor."
Li Shimin's cheeks twisted painfully, and the pain in his heart at this moment was especially better than the arrow that was shot at the eldest brother in the Xuanwu Sect back then!
******************************************************************
The autumn rain overnight has stopped for some time.
The sky has been brightened, the hazy dawn is projected in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, inside and outside the streets and alleys, there are stumps and broken arms, corpses everywhere, countless government soldiers carry the corpses, and keep moving these former robes onto the ox carts, and the ox carts quickly transport the corpses out of the city.
The officials of each fang commanded their soap laborers, fetched water to wash the blood stains in the streets and alleys, and the rebels were tied hand and foot, strung into a line by long ropes, and walked to the temporary prisoner camp outside the city under the escort of the government soldiers......
Everything is being restored, trying to restore it to its former appearance.
But the human heart can never be repaired.
This is a big war of internal friction, each with casualties, and the outcome is decided.
As soon as the morning dawned, on the bell tower of the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, a bell with a rapid rhythm suddenly rang.
As if the signal of the appointment, all the eunuchs in Chang'an City suddenly opened the door, and the courtiers wore various court clothes, dressed neatly and gathered towards the Taiji Palace, just like the daily court meeting, with a calm demeanor and a calm step.
On Chang'an Avenue, the officials and soap servants are still struggling to wash away the blood stains on the road, and every step of the courtiers is stepping on the bluestone bricks mixed with rain and blood, leaving rows of shocking bloody footprints, like a history of deep suffering.
Thankfully, the rain stopped. (To be continued.) )
