Chapter 41: Asking My Father to spare his life

What is called 'deafening and deaf', the shout of Fang Yiai has achieved the effect of 'deaf and deaf', and the Taiji Hall instantly quieted down.

Except for Li Chengqian, the ministers in the front row all turned around to see who this bastard was?

Those who support Li Chengqian naturally regard him as a thorn in their side, and those who support Li Taiqian also think that he is a bad thing.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling, meaning to ask him what was going on?

Fang Xuanling saw clearly that what he spoke was that Fang Xuanling wanted to die, and in the face of Li Shimin's fierce gaze, Fang Xuanling only felt like an ice cave.

But he is the person who has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and he is extremely adaptable, and he knows what to do in just a moment.

In an instant, the embarrassment and fear in my heart all turned into anger, anger at Fang Yiai.

Fang Xuanling rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Fang Yiai angrily, wanting to beat Fang Yiai fiercely, first to dissipate Li Shimin's anger, and then ask Li Shimin for guilt.

"Fang Xianggong, what are you doing here?" Li Chengqian took advantage of the fact that the focus was on Fang Yiai, he had already quietly stood up, and when he saw that Fang Xuanling was planning to disrupt this court meeting, he immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this beast is talking nonsense in the court, and the old minister wants to kill him!" Fang Xuanling pretended to be very excited.

It's a pity that Li Chengqian was unmoved, still blocked his way, and said calmly: "He is your son, how you want to kill him in your family, it's your business, whether it's white silk, poison, dagger, or five horses to collect the corpse, a thousand knives are up to you."

But this is the Taiji Palace, and his bereavement is to commit the great sin of the Nine Clans, which is also the order of the father and the emperor, and it is carried out by Jin Wu.

As the head of the 100 officials of the dignified prime minister, you still have to pay attention to your demeanor in this court! ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian stopping Fang Xuanling, and said that Fang Xuanling was speechless, very shocked, thinking when the prince was so powerful.

Seeing that he persuaded Fang Xuanling to retire with a heavy weight, obviously there was a backhand, and he couldn't help but wonder whose conspiracy this was?

Originally, Li Shimin didn't want to express his stance on this matter at this time, thinking that there might be a conspiracy, Li Shimin was even more unlikely to speak, but just looked at Li Chengqian coldly.

Of course Li Chengqian would not let go of such a good opportunity, seeing Fang Xuanling retreating dejectedly, Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Li Tai standing on the left with a smile, and said with a smile: "Fourth, since the master of the East Palace and the son of the prime minister's family are plotting to ask his father to make you the crown prince, don't you say something?"

"I-I-I"

Jumping out of Fang Yiai, Li Tai had an expression of eating, and when he was asked by Li Chengqian, he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Hehe, the fourth child, this is a rare opportunity, although your father favors you, but you can't usually say directly to your father, 'How are you as a prince?'?" Li Tai's heart is hot, since yesterday Li Shimin mentioned again to let him live in the Wude Palace, he has been in a state of excitement, at this time hearing Li Chengqian say this, how can he not be tempted? I just don't know what to say for a while.

Li Chengqian saw that his eyes flashed with excitement, and he added another fire and said: "Fourth, take this opportunity to quickly show your father and the ministers how you will treat me and Lao Jiu after you become the crown prince." ”

All the ministers who heard what Li Chengqian said widened their eyes, and several ministers could see that this was a trap set up by Li Chengqian for Li Tai.

It's just that when it comes to the dispute between the crown princes, Li Shimin's attitude is not clear, Li Chengqian is obviously strong, and in addition to the ideological education he received in the Wei Mansion yesterday, no one is willing or dares to remind the ministers who are trapped.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, how could his younger brother He De dare to covet the position of the East Palace?" Li Tai said modestly, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

But since he opened his mouth to speak, how could Li Chengqian let him go?

"I didn't really let you be the prince, I just asked you to tell me, how did you treat me and Lao Jiu when you became the prince? What's this, Confucius also let his disciples say their own will! Li Chengqian continued to tempt.

A trace of fire flashed in Li Tai's eyes, he glanced at Li Shimin, and saw that Li Shimin seemed to be waiting for him to speak, and said loudly in his heart: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must let his brother say it, then the brother will boldly say it, if the younger brother can really invite the luck of heaven, naturally let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ju'er, Xiang'er enjoy the throne of the prince, and after a hundred years, I will kill my son and pass on the throne to the ninth brother." ”

Li Tai's words were purely to please Li Shimin, and Li Shimin felt very useful when he heard it.

Li Shimin has been hesitating in his heart whether to abolish Li Chengqian, how to arrange for Li Chengqian?

But one thing is certain, that is, even if he abolishes Li Chengqian, he also hopes that Li Chengqian and his descendants can be rich and noble.

For Li Zhi, he raised him personally, and his feelings are fundamentally different from other sons, except for Li Chengqian and Li Tai, Li Zhi is of course the first choice for the crown prince.

Li Tai really figured out Li Shimin's thoughts, and said to Li Shimin's heart in one sentence.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with joy, and he was about to open his mouth to praise Li Tai for a few words, and also let Li Chengqian learn from Li Tai and achieve the good story of brotherhood, friend and brotherhood.

But I heard Li Chengqian laugh and said: "It's really not easy, the fourth is much stronger than the lonely king, and the lonely king has never thought of killing my son to pass on the throne to you or the ninth?"

Li Tai had been observing Li Shimin's face, and seeing that Li Shimin was happy and thought that he had succeeded, he said with a smug look on his face: "How can the younger brother compare with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian said to Li Zhi, who was standing behind Li Ke with a confused face: "Old Jiu, I thought that the fourth child just wanted to kill me and the third child, but I didn't expect him to even want to let you go!" ”

"Ah" Sixteen-year-old Li Zhi, dressed in jade clothes and golden crowns, is like a fairy, at this time he was scared by Li Chengqian, handsome and cute, very cute, and people couldn't help but want to take care of and protect him when they saw him.

"The fourth is going to kill us!" Li Ke looked at him and said angrily.

"Big brother, you said that the fourth brother wants to kill me?" Sixteen-year-old Li Zhidu was almost scared to tears.

Li Chengqian didn't know if he was pretending or really scared. You must know that in history, it was Li Zhi who showed his uneasy look of being frightened by Li Tai in front of Li Shimin, and after Li Shimin asked the reason, he rejected the idea of making Li Tai the crown prince.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to continue to analyze for him: "Do you believe that when the fourth child becomes the emperor, he will kill his own son and pass on the throne to you?"

Li Zhi let out an "ah" again, with a stunned expression on his half-open mouth, as if he was afraid that Li Tai would kill him, and as if he couldn't bear to let Li Tai kill his son.

Li Chengqian was defeated by his cute expression, rolled his eyes, and had to continue to explain: "He must be reluctant to kill his own son, unless that son is born to the princess and someone else, and he can't give birth to it himself." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can you slander your brother like this?" Li Tai was completely annoyed.

"Shut up!" Li Chengqian also turned around and shouted, and then said: "The reason why he said to his father that he wanted to pass on the throne to you is because he knows that you are more favored than him in his father's emperor.

He thought he was more favored than me, so he dared to peep into the storage position, if he entered the East Palace, how could he tolerate the existence of a prince who was more favored than him?"

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense, the son has absolutely no such thoughts!" Li Tai hurriedly knelt down and explained to Li Shimin.

"Why don't you beg your father for mercy!" Li Chengqian whispered to Li Ke and Li Zhi.

Li Zhi finally understood after listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, and hurriedly knelt down with Li Ke, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Ask my father to spare his life!" ”

It turned out that Li Su, who was standing behind Li Tai, saw Li Ke kneeling, and he also hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Please ask your father to spare your lifeβ€”β€”"

The monarchs and ministers of the palace were all stunned.
