Not long after, someone dragged Zhang Tao to the Taiji Palace. Why was it dragged up, because the joints of Zhang Tao's whole body had been removed, in order to worry that he would break himself.

After bringing it to the Tai Chi Hall, someone supported his chin so that he could speak normally. And the one who took Zhang Tao to the hall was none other than Xiao Xuan.

Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, this is Xiao Xuan mentioned by his son and father. ”

"Sure enough, the appearance is dignified, and what he does is also the work of a chivalrous man. It's just that this method is not worth advocating, so there will be no reward or punishment if the merit is offset. Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the grass people will never do such a ridiculous thing again. If there is a repeat offense, the grass people are willing to be punished by Ling Chi. Xiao Xuan opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin. Then he said goodbye to Li Shimin and left the Taiji Palace.

Then Li Ke asked Zhang Tao: "Don't you want to say something to your father now?" ”

"Hahaha, I urge the impermanence Zhang Tao, and he is also an iron-clad man in the rivers and lakes. How can you be greedy for life and afraid of death? If you want to kill, you have to give a happy one. Zhang Tao said with a laugh.

Li Ke knew in his heart that no matter how much he asked, Zhang Tao would not confess Hou Junji. And Li Ke did this for only one purpose, that is, to provoke Hou Junji.

So he said to Li Shimin: "Father, since this Zhang Tao regards death as home. Then it is better for the father to fulfill him. ”

Li Shimin knew in his heart that it would be in vain for such a person to ask. And Li Shimin really didn't want Zhang Tao to confess Hou Junji, he must have Hou Junji in the Xuanwumen Incident, but he definitely supported his heroes.

So he nodded and said: "Come on, take Zhang Tao down to the punishment of car splitting, so that those who have bad intentions will know what the result of violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty is." ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, a forbidden army rushed forward. The impermanence of Zhang Tao was detained. On the square outside the Taiji Palace, the punishment of car splitting was used.

At this time, Hou Junji's heart was bleeding, he didn't expect Zhang Tao to be so loyal. This made him feel a little guilty in Zhang Tao's heart.

And this is guilt, and it also brings boundless hatred. secretly swore in his heart that he must avenge Zhang Tao. Li Ke's body must be broken into 10,000 pieces to comfort Zhang Tao's soul in the sky.

Then Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Hou Junji: "As a founding hero, he is a model for the people of the world. I don't want to one day execute someone who has done a great job for me. After saying that, he turned around and left the Taiji Hall.

Everyone present understood in their hearts that Li Shimin was not just beating Hou Junji. Rather, he is telling everyone that there is a limit to his patience.

……

After Li Ke left the Taiji Palace, he went directly into the harem to meet his mother. Of course, before that, you must first meet the Empress of the Eldest Sun.

After all, all the princes are nominally the sons of the queen. If Li Ke didn't meet Empress Changsun first, he would have lost his due etiquette.

When he came to the Lizheng Palace, Li Ke said to the deacon's eunuch: "As soon as I reported to the queen, I said that the son Li Ke came to ask the queen to say goodbye." ”

The deacon and eunuch naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after a sigh, he went to the Lizheng Palace. After a while, he walked out again, and said to Li Ke: "The queen mother has invited His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

After Li Ke straightened his clothes, he followed the deacon eunuch into the Lizheng Palace. first knelt on the ground and saluted the eldest grandson queen, and then said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the son Li Ke has kowtowed to you." ”

"Hurry up, this palace heard that you have a big case in the court. That's what a prince should do. Empress Eldest Sun said with a kind face.

"The queen mother, when the son came, he brought a few small gifts to the queen mother. It can be regarded as a little filial piety of the ministers. After Li Ke finished speaking, he handed a sandalwood box to Empress Changsun.

"The things you brought are all good things, and this palace has to see what it is now." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

At the same time, he took the sandalwood box and opened it, only to see that the sandalwood box contained more than a dozen bottles of perfume, and all of them were contained in stained glass containers.

There is also a set of glass tea sets and exquisite glass tableware. It looks crystal clear and beautiful.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at it with a smile, and said to Li Ke: "I knew that the things you brought were extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful." ”

At this time, Li Ke's face suddenly changed, and he said to the eldest grandson queen: "Queen Mother, have you ever felt that something is wrong with your body during this time?" ”

It is now the eighth year of Zhenguan in 634 AD, less than two years before Empress Changsun died of illness. So the illness of Empress Changsun has been leaked.

It's just that Empress Changsun has always felt that it was a small illness and didn't care too much. In the end, it came to the point of incorrigibility.

And what Li Ke wants to do today is to strive to be able to cure the eldest grandson empress. lest the eldest grandson queen die in two years.

Li Ke is not a person who gets up early without profit, he has his own purpose in doing so. There is a clear record in history that after the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin did not establish another empress.

In other words, even if Empress Changsun is dead. Li Ke's mother, Yang Shufei, could not become Li Shimin's queen.

And Li Shimin will love the sons of Empress Changsun even more because of the death of Empress Changsun. It has even reached the point of perversion.

Otherwise, his son would not have rebelled, and in the end it would have been as simple as exile. After all, rebellion is a great crime, and few people who rebel have not been able to die since ancient times. Even if you are the emperor's own son, you can't do it.

Therefore, Li Ke felt that it was a good thing for Empress Eldest Sun to be alive. What's more, treating the eldest grandson queen will make Li Shimin feel more at ease with himself.

……

Hearing Li Ke ask about her body, Empress Changsun said with a smile: "It's an old problem, it's not a big deal." It will be fine after a while. ”

"The queen mother must not take it lightly, no disease will kill people in an instant. They all started lightly, and then they became terminally ill. Li Ke said to Empress Eldest Sun with a solemn expression.

"What makes you say something weird and scary? The imperial doctor in the palace has already seen the palace, and it is not a serious illness. Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"The queen should know the allusion of Bian Que meeting Cai Henggong, right? It's not a good habit to avoid medical treatment. Li Ke said to Empress Changsun again.

And at this time, Li Shimin happened to walk into the Lizheng Palace. Heard Li Ke's words clearly.

So he opened his mouth and asked Li Ke, "What did you see?" Could it be that your medical skills are better than those of the Tai Hospital? ”

"Father, although the sons dare not say that their medical skills are better than those of the imperial hospital. But in some special diseases, they are not necessarily the opponents of the sons. Li Ke said after saluting Li Shimin.
