Chapter 717: Li Shimin's letter

"Murdering the prince is a big crime for the nine clans, and the old man is not impatient."

Fang Xuanling didn't care about the bone thorns in Cai Cong's words, but wittily eliminated the nervous anger.

Cai Cong didn't talk, and Fang Xuanling was not angry, he reached out and took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to Cai Cong and said, "This is a letter from the first emperor to you, what is written in it, only the first emperor knows." ”

Cai Cong took it and looked at it, the fire paint on the seal was intact, and there was a signature on it, Cai Cong could see that it was Li Shimin's handwriting.

Without hesitation, he tore open the envelope on the spot, and when he opened the letter, he saw the familiar font.

"Cai Cong! I regret not listening to your advice, you said that immortality is unpredictable, but I have frequently taken pills over the years, and the accumulated erysipelas have ruined my body, I really regret it. ”

Cai Cong was very surprised that the first paragraph of the letter given to him by someone like Li Shimin was actually saying regret, and he did not hesitate to continue to look down.

"Brother Cai never imagined that when you and I met for the first time, when you talked about the plan to save the people in front of me, I would kill you. But when I think about it, doesn't the God-given prodigy mean that I obey the destiny of heaven? That's why I didn't kill the killer at that time. ”

Seeing this section of Cai Cong's frightened cold sweat, at that time, he had just arrived, and he had no chance to develop slowly, but he didn't expect it to go too fast, and he actually attracted Li Shimin's murderous intent.

"You are talented, you do extraordinary personnel, everything you say is true, I have thought about killing you many times over the years, but in the end I have not been able to kill the killer, saying that I cherish your talents, and say that when you are a nephew, you are afraid that you will not believe it, but over the years, I have been extremely happy to promote the country's prestige and punish the door valve internally.

But then I found out that there were people in the court, and the generals in the army mentioned that you would be called a teacher, and at that moment I was extremely uneasy, and powerful people often would not be satisfied with the rights in their hands. So I must drive you away, or I will not be able to sleep well. ”

Cai Cong's heart was full of disdain for this passage, the emperor is the emperor, and because of the suspicion in his heart, he expelled the meritorious ministers, if it wasn't for Cai Cong's soldiers on hand, it would not be a simple expulsion.

He continued to look down.

"When you step into Chang'an again, I clearly feel that in your heart I am no longer the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor in your eyes is only Cheng Qian, because he is still the one who completely trusts you.

I know that the day has come when you will monopolize power, and I want him to get rid of you, but he just won't listen. Therefore, I only hope that if you are in the imperial robe one day, you will leave a bloodline for Chengqian, so that Guanyin and me can also look at each other. ”

Cai Cong handed the letter to Li Chengqian after reading it, his eyes were full of anger, Li Shimin didn't trust him, and after his death, he still wanted to separate him and Li Chengqian, which was simply excessive.

After reading the letter, Li Chengqian was silent for a while, and then said to Cai Cong very solemnly: "I believe you." ”

Cai Cong grinned and said, "It's useless to believe me, I can't look at your chair." And you're a chore now, and when I turn around, I'll hold up the butcher's knife, and you'll have to help me clean up the aftermath. ”

The conversation between the two left the other four confused, what exactly did the letter say?

Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly, his brother snatched something that you are dead and alive, in Cai Cong's opinion, it is a burden, which makes people happy and painful.

"Since the father has a will, he will canonize the Wang family as the queen, and in addition, add the Chu family as a virtuous concubine. Many matters of the enthronement ceremony were handled by Commander-in-Chief Fang Aiqing, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Command!"

"In addition, the nine untalented bastards are optimistic, and they can't be allowed to have any accidents, otherwise the folk rumors will be intolerant, and they will kill their brothers and clansmen indiscriminately as soon as they ascend the throne."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the nine of them are now guarded day and night in the army, and they can't die even if they want to."

Cai Cong said with a reluctant smile, the dust has settled on the queen's position, and he always feels a little ashamed of Chu Yao.

"That's good, let's all go down and do things! Return to Beijing tomorrow morning. ”

Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked them all to go down, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned very uncomfortably, the secret order was to leave a room for Xuanling, and there was no part of him in such a big event as ascending the throne, is his uncle, the dignified uncle of the country, so untrustworthy?

Although there was no clerical notice, when he returned the next day, it had already spread in the team that the crown princess would be canonized as the queen, and Chu Yao was just a concubine.

There are never a few people in the palace who step on the low and praise the high, and the ladies of the East Palace, who were originally around Chu Yao, all ran to the Wang family's side at once.

There are also people who joke Chu Yao with yin and yang, what's the use of having a good brother? can't stand Li Chengqian's heart is not on her,

Some people also chewed their tongues and said that the relationship between Cai Cong and Li Chengqian was not as good as imagined, otherwise what happened to this queen might not be Chu Yao's turn.

Chu Yao calmly watched these people leave, Li Chengqian had already told her the reason last night, and she couldn't be the queen because she didn't want Cai Cong's power to swell too much, from the dead Taizong to the civil and military officials.

The Wang family is just a person who stands in the right position, not because he is favored, and Li Chengqian and Cai Cong have no contradictions.

"These snobs, when the prince comes, the slave and maid must tell the prince and let the prince teach them a hard lesson."

Chu Yao's maid screamed angrily, she used to see Chu Yao being favored, and she couldn't wait to move in with Chu Yao, every day sister and sister, that is called a hot one.

"You don't need to talk too much, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the officials in the court are not allowed to interfere in the harem, this is the ancestral training, do you want to disobey the ancestral teachings?"

Chu Yao said sharply, and her personal maid lowered her head in fright.

"Yaoyao said it well, if you have a next time, I will never spare it."

Li Chengqian walked in with a smile on his face, as soon as he arrived in the palace, he immediately came to Chu Yao's place, and on the way, Xiao Dian reported that someone would publicize the matter of the future, and Li Chengqian knew that there was going to be a moth.

"Go and make tea for Your Majesty."

Chu Yao smiled and winked at the maidservant, and the frightened maidservant hurriedly went down to make tea.

"Your Majesty has so many government affairs to deal with, why do you have time to come to the concubines to be lazy?"

Chu Yao said and winked mischievously at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly.

"There are too many people in this harem who don't have eyesight, I'm afraid that they will chew the root of their tongue indiscriminately and make you feel wronged, so why don't you hurry up and take a look! There are all those people talking nonsense, you tell me, I clean them up. ”

Li Chengqian said with a straight face, he already felt sorry for Chu Yao, but now she can still be ridiculed?

"Don't listen to the palace maid's nonsense, what's the matter. Besides, the queen mother will be the master of the harem, as the lord of the world, how can your majesty worry about these small things? ”

Chu Yao shook his head and said, Li Chengqian felt more and more guilty in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. Accompanied Chu Yao to talk, teasing his son, and after a while, he got up and left.
