Li Chengqian was about to go to the palace to confess in person, and the East Palace was also completely fried.

The subordinates ran back and forth, preparing clothes, stoves, warm pads, and hot water for Li Chengqian to eat. It doesn't look like it's a confession, it's like a vacation.

And the imperial doctors in the palace were also woken up and came to check on Zhang Xuansu's injuries.

"Take care of Master Zhang for the lonely good student!" Li Chengqian dropped a sentence before leaving. Then he left with some good advisers and eunuchs and went to Taiji Palace.

Just as Li Chengqian left the main gate of the East Palace, in the backyard of the East Palace, a person dressed as a small servant, carrying something in his arms, hurriedly left the East Palace and ran in a certain direction.

Within half an hour, Li Shimin, who had already rested, was woken up. Hearing that the eunuch came to report, the prince couldn't kneel outside, so Li Shimin put on a thick coat and came out.

When he walked out of the house, the cold weather made Li Shimin sneeze involuntarily.

Wan Fu comforted on the side: "Your Majesty, the weather is very cold, Your Majesty should pay attention to your body, or go to the palace to sit for a while, and let the old slave bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in, right?" ”

"No!" Li Shimin stopped Wanfu. "I want to see what happened so that Qian'er will kneel in front of the Taiji Palace at this point in time and admit his mistakes!"

Li Shimin knows this son's temperament, if it weren't for something that broke the sky, Li Chengqian would definitely not be like this.

Now that Li Chengqian has done this, it must mean that something big has happened, or even this incident... It may also involve Li Chengqian's own future!

Li Shimin desperately wanted to know what was going on, so that he could respond as quickly as possible.

When Li Shimin came to the palace gate, he saw Li Chengqian kneeling on the ground from afar, with a very pious attitude and a sincere expression.

However, the more such an attitude is, the more uneasy Li Shimin's heart becomes.

Li Chengqian... You can't really do anything bad, do you?

"The son knocks to see his father! Long live the father, long live, long live! Li Chengqian's shouting pulled Li Shimin back to reality from his doubts.

"In the middle of the night, why is Qian'er like this? Flatten. Li Shi commanded lightly.

Li Chengqian didn't get up, but slammed his head on the ground, and when he looked up again, there was already a bruise on his head, and he also squeezed out two lines of tears, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

"Father! The son is guilty, and the sin deserves death! Please also ask the father to forgive the sin! ”

Li Shimin was not moved by Li Chengqian's pity at all, but frowned. For Li Chengqian to be like this, something bad must have happened!

"What's the matter? Say it! ”

Li Chengqian kowtowed his head twice again, and then said in a trembling voice: "The son deserves death!" Today's Erchen lost his temper after drinking, using a bowl.... with a bowl..."

"What's wrong with the bowl?" Li Shimin roughly guessed what was going on, and stepped in front of Li Chengqian. "Tell me, what's wrong with the bowl?"

"With a bowl... smashed Master Zhang. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he immediately bowed down and didn't dare to look up at Li Shimin.

Although Li Shimin had already guessed, when he heard Li Chengqian say it himself, he still felt that it was a bolt from the blue.

The disappointment in Li Chengqian, his concern for Zhang Xuansu, the layout of the future court, etc., all made him feel upset. He staggered back a few steps, and was held by Wanfu's quick eyes.

"You... You... You rebel! Li Shimin's hands trembled, he took a step forward, raised his leg and kicked Li Chengqian's shoulder.

Li Chengqian was kicked, but he didn't dare to make any moves.

"I've taught you since I was a child! As a ruler, you must always be introspective, magnanimous, and good at listening and discerning. What about you? Look at what you look like now! Vanity! Pompous! Indulgence! How can he be smart and clever before! Now, you dare to stun the minister I appointed to teach you, and in a few days, will you not even pay attention to me? Yes?!! ”

Li Chengqian was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed to Li Shimin. "Father's atonement! Erchen knows his mistake! After the son's death, he immediately woke up, knowing that he had made a big mistake, and he didn't ask his father for forgiveness, but only asked his father to punish him! I also hope that my father will punish my sons, and my sons will be responsible for the three provinces and devote themselves to repentance. Never again! ”

"Never again? Why can't you do one! This! All! No! Want! Violate?!! ”

Li Shimin was really angry, and his hands danced in the air because of excitement.

"You are my prince! The king of this country in the future! Your behavior today, how can I rest assured that I will hand over this huge country to you? I'm going to stun my teacher now, but what about later? In the future, if any courtiers disagree with you in the slightest, won't you have to go on a killing spree? What do you teach me to do with you? And how do you think of the ministers? You say! ”

Li Chengqian cried a handful of snot and a handful of tears, a big man, and now he is crying into a tearful man.

"Father! Erchen knows his mistake! Erchen is just drunk and has no intention of so-called! The son has deeply realized his mistake and hopes that his father will atone for his sins! Erchen is willing to accept any punishment! Any! ”

"Good!" Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian and said: "Then I will issue an edict, abolish your crown prince, and set up another prince!" ”

Li Chengqian's body trembled, but he didn't say anything, choking on his head.

Wanfu hurriedly knelt down to ask for Li Chengqian's marriage. "Your Majesty! Think again! The matter of establishing the prince is very important, and I hope that Your Majesty will consider it carefully and discuss it with the ministers before deciding! ”

"It's a fart! His actions today are tantamount to completely offending those ministers! Especially Wei Zheng! That old guy will definitely mix a copy of the prince in the court tomorrow! There must be many ministers seconding the proposal, and when the time comes, how will you teach me how to respond? ”

"And!" Li Shimin remembered one more thing. "Two days ago, Kong Yingda complained to me, and you also drove him and Master Zhang out of the East Palace, is this true?"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, bowed his head and remained silent, acquiescing to Li Shimin's words.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes. He was really disappointed in the crown prince.

acting impulsively, not impatient with consequences, and love to play tricks, is not at all the quality that a king of a country should have.

Today, he is still the crown prince, or a student of Zhang Xuansu, Kong Yingda and others, so he dares to be disrespectful to them, scold and drive away arbitrary behavior, and ascend to the throne in the future? Wouldn't the ascension to the throne be a punishment for the ministers, and a punishment for killing them? In the future, won't Datang be completely messed up?

The foundation he worked so hard to create, should he be handed over to a person like Emperor Yang of Sui?

Li Shimin suddenly felt a little confused. He is forty years old, and most of his life has passed, and he has worked hard all his life, and he has been fighting all his life, in order to leave this great river and mountain to his descendants.

But what? Li Chengqian's behavior was simply chilling to him! Can such an act be a good generation of kings? Can you dominate these thousands of miles?

Li Shimin's heart was greatly shaken. He wanted to abolish Li Chengqian's crown prince, but with or without preparation, everything happened too suddenly, and he didn't know what to do.

The emperor, who is not omnipotent, will also be confused and worried.

In the end, it was Wanfu who persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, on such a cold day, the prince has been kneeling here for almost an hour, His Royal Highness the Prince is still suffering from foot disease, I am afraid that he will not be able to kneel for a long time, for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince's attitude to admit his mistakes, why not give the prince a chance, if the prince can reform himself, it can be regarded as a good talk." ”

Li Shimin didn't speak, and Li Chengqian knelt on the ground feeling uneasy, for fear that Li Shimin would really not give him a chance again.

In the end, Li Shimin sighed heavily, and when he heard this sigh, Li Chengqian suddenly let go of the breath he was holding. Today's events... It's in the past!
