Chapter 229: The old slave is forced to refuse
As soon as Li Yuan appeared at the gate of the city to greet the army, everyone except Li Yuanji was shocked.
Especially Li Jing, even his body was faintly trembling.
Although he has never done anything wrong, but doing nothing is the biggest harm to Li Yuan, since he fought Xuanwumen, Li Jing has never seen Li Yuan again, but he didn't expect to see him here today.
"Yuanji ......" Li Yuan, who couldn't bear it for a long time, trotted all the way forward to greet Li Yuanji when he was still hundreds of steps away, and his eyes were faintly mixed with tears that he didn't know what to smell.
"Father! Erchen is back! "Whether it is biological or not, whether it has anything to do with his current self, Li Yuanji still feels a little indifferent to Li Yuan's feelings, and can only be said to be not repulsive.
The moment he saw Li Yuanji, Li Yuan's tears could no longer be stopped, two lines of tears came out of his eyes, and he probed back and forth dozens of times, satisfied, nodded excitedly, and then hugged him tightly in his arms, and kept muttering: "It's good to come back!" It's good to come back......"
The father and son met again, after more than a year, but they were quite emotional.
For more than a year, Li Yuan could only live in a groggy state every day, dissatisfied with his current situation and worried about Li Yuanji's life, but Li Yuan couldn't do anything except live in the deep palace and be sad alone.
The only thing that can be done is to eat and drink well every day, and then create people to the fullest, and create more younger brothers and sisters for Li Shimin to come out and make him sick.
Li Yuanji's indifference really made Li Yuan pinch a cold sweat for him, but fortunately, everything before was just an illusion, and the forbearance back then was for the current counterattack.
Li Yuan felt that he had too much to say to Li Yuanji, perhaps because he was his only living son-in-law, or perhaps because after this change, this son, who was not his favorite, became his last hope.
Now Li Yuan feels that the more he looks at Li Yuanji, the more pleasing he becomes, how he likes it.
"Into town! I want to sleep in the same bed with my son tonight, and I want to talk with my son all night......" The excited Li Yuan was a little incoherent, and it didn't matter if the emperor was the emperor or not.
After experiencing this change, Li Yuan has already seen through something, he doesn't want anything to happen in the Li family, although now there is no one who can threaten Li Yuanji, looking at the figure of the hundreds of thousands of troops outside Chang'an City, Li Yuan has seen it very clearly, and he is also very clear what he should do.
Power doesn't matter, I haven't been in power for more than a year, and the henchmen in the court have been almost cleaned up, and how many years can I toss if I take the position?
"No!" Li Yuanji responded quietly, and then he was about to leave to enter the city with Li Yuan.
"Don't worry! Let's change the guard first, the soldiers in the city have also suffered a lot these days, this is the time of physical and mental exhaustion, now that the battle has been eliminated, they should be allowed to rest for a while. Li Yuan took Li Yuanji's hand and said with a smile on his face.
Li Yuanji hesitated slightly, but he didn't hesitate for too long before nodding and agreeing.
Now that there are not many troops in the city, or even no troops, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to enter the city like this.
With a wave of his hand, Su Dingfang directly ordered 30,000 troops to enter the city to take over the defense, and all those in Chang'an City, Taiji Palace, and all those related to soldiers were replaced by Qi troops.
"What does this look like......" Seeing that the Qi army, who was quick in action and sharp in his eyes, took over the city defense, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction and praised with a smile.
The father and son entered the city with the compliments of the ministers, and the original defenders of Chang'an were all transferred outside the city, and a new round of liquidation will be carried out, the treatment of the treatment, and the naturalization of the naturalization.
Li Yuanji's eyes kept looking around, Cheng Zhijie followed behind Li Yuan not far away, as if he didn't dare to face Li Yuanji, when Li Yuanji looked at him, he looked away very unnaturally.
In the depths of the Taiji Palace, the excited Li Yuan ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and the father and son almost didn't talk until they were drunk.
This night, Li Yuanji spent the night in the Taiji Palace.
However, he did not sleep in the same bed with Li Yuan, but asked people to prepare a small bed and place it next to Li Yuan's big bed.
This hearty conversation made Li Yuanji also understand some things that he didn't know before, and knew that although Li Yuan lost his power and was confined in this Taiji Palace, he also tried his best to help himself a lot, although he couldn't help it.
knew why Li Yuan threw his sleeves away angrily at the beginning, his hatred for himself was not made of steel, and he was surprised and unbelievable when he saw it now.
Knowing why the Qi army was able to drive straight into the hinterland of Guanzhong, Li Shimin mobilized nine legions and could not stop them from moving south.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanji got up early in the morning, but when he woke up, he was a little frightened by the scene in front of him.
Li Yuan was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at himself quietly, sometimes smirking.
"Hehe, Wu'er is awake?" Seeing Li Yuanji wake up, Li Yuan, who was not embarrassed, greeted him with a smile.
"Why doesn't my father rest for a while?" Li Yuanji hurriedly got up and greeted.
In any case, in the more than a year after losing the throne, Li Yuan has barely fulfilled the responsibility of a father, and through a night of contact, he also wants to try to accept this father, in this case, the respect that should be there must be, this must be done.
"I can't sleep, I always feel that this is not real." As if in a trance, Li Yuan felt a little unsteady even dreaming.
"Father is too worried!" Li Yuanji replied helplessly in his heart.
"It's also ......" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded.
……
"Dead?" Li Yuanji's eyes widened in disbelief, he thought that the result might be different from what he thought, but he never thought that Li Shimin would die.
Cheng Zhijie nodded, didn't say anything, dead is dead, he did disobey King Qi's order.
"He resisted? You fooled him? Li Yuanji still asked in disbelief.
Cheng Zhijie continued to shake his head, denying the excuse Li Yuanji had made.
I don't need to cover up, I don't need excuses, I do what I do, and I want to be upright.
"That's it!" was vetoed by Cheng Zhijie one after another, Li Yuanji shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Maybe this result is not bad for him, at least he doesn't have to suffer anymore, and he is happy to die." Let's bury it in the prince's specifications! ”
Cheng Zhijie pouted, Li Yuanji was right, Li Shimin died, it was indeed a good result for him.
At this time, it is far more comfortable to die than to live, and living will definitely be a painful torment for Li Shimin, because no one knows how much the hatred in Li Yuanji's heart has faded, and how much anger will be sent to him.
Thinking of Li Shimin's deathbed explanation, Cheng Zhijie suddenly felt a little tired, the kind of physical and mental exhaustion.
"I wonder what the king is going to do with his family?"
"Find a place to exile, no matter how you say it, you're a lonely nephew!" Li Yuanji smiled and responded casually.
Cheng Zhijie was stunned, exile? Don't mention revenge?
Although you Li Yuanji are generous, you are not so generous, that is the revenge of killing your son, you just let them go?
No, didn't I want to protect them? Isn't this the result you want to see?
"In this way, the minister thanked the king for not killing him." Maybe it's a mix, but in terms of righteousness, Cheng Zhijie is no worse than anyone else, although saying this will make Li Yuanji suspicious, but so what?
Now the Tang Dynasty no longer needs itself, and its own battle routines have also fallen behind with the birth of the bomb throwing car, and even many meritorious generals have also fallen behind, and those middle and high-level generals in the Qi army will definitely rise to replace them.
Although it is unlikely that Li Yuanji will let himself go, so what? They eliminated Li Yuan's old generals, and Li Yuanji's subordinates should eliminate them.
Cheng Zhijie's attitude has changed significantly, and this change caught Li Yuanji a little off guard, not because he had any ambitions and ambitions, but overnight, he seemed to have lost everything, and it seemed that nothing had anything to do with him.
It is difficult for such a desireless person to become his confidant.
Li Jingxuanwumen and this incident have participated in the battle between himself and Li Shimin's two brothers from beginning to end, and the changes for him have been big enough for more than a year.
A smart person, when it is time to make a choice, will often make the choice that is most beneficial to him.
……
"What? Want to let them go? No, even if it is your order from the king, the old slave will definitely not obey it this time, even if the king wants to kill the old slave, this time the old slave will avenge several princes, they are the old slaves who grew up with their own eyes......" When he learned the news that Li Yuanji planned to let go of Li Shimin's family, Song Zhong, who had been following him on the left and right, suddenly stopped drying, tears burst out of his eyes, and he roared angrily at Li Yuanji.
If it was in the past, Song Zhong would never dare to do this, but in this matter, he will definitely not have any concessions, although what he said does not count.
Li Yuanji looked at Song Zhong with disdain, why is this thing so brainless? Anyway, the brain is really a good thing, I hope to buy one for Song Zhong too!
He quietly squeezed his eyebrows at Song Zhong, but said with a completely different posture: "What's the benefit of killing them?" Now that he is dead, this matter is over, when will the grievances be retribution? They are also Lone's sons and nephews, and they are also related by blood, how did you let Lone's hands? Let the lonely royal sister-in-law take them away! You are Lone's personal person, don't blame Lone for not reminding you, this matter has passed, if you dare to be disobedient, see how Lone cleans you up? ”
If he only listened to the voice, Song Zhong would definitely jump three feet high and oppose it, even if he was cleaned up, even if he died, he would be disobedient this time.
But seeing Li Yuanji's eyes, and deliberately accentuated the word imperial sister-in-law, Song Zhong, who had a lot of thieves, instantly understood what Li Yuanji meant, after all, this matter has not been done before, we are veterans, and hurriedly flattered: "Slaves and maids dare not ......"
