Chapter 1269: Li Xiu is suspected

The two sons rebelled one after another, which has dealt an extremely serious blow to Li Shimin, even if he said "hold on", but in fact he was on the verge of collapse, and saw that there was Hou Junji in the list of rebellions, the general he trusted the most, which made him finally unable to bear such a blow, and vomited blood and fell to the ground in grief and anger.

With Li Shimin's illness, the entire palace was also in chaos, fortunately, Li Shimin's life was not in danger, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji have also been by Li Shimin's side, and after the imperial doctor told Li Shimin to recuperate with peace of mind, Li Xiu and the two were also ready to say goodbye and leave, after all, Li Shimin's physical condition is not suitable for discussing things now.

However, what Li Xiu didn't expect was that Li Shimin did not let them leave, but called them to the hospital bed, and at this time, his face was pale, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and he looked even older than before.

"Your Majesty, your body is important, and the rest of the matter will be handled by the ministers!" When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin's appearance, he immediately spoke again and persuaded him, now that such a big thing has happened in the court, if Li Shimin falls again, then the Tang Dynasty will really be in chaos, so no matter what, let Li Shimin take care of his body.

"It's okay, although I vomited blood before and hurt my body, I felt that the stasis in my chest was gone, and now I can even breathe a lot easier." I saw Li Shimin waving his hand at this time, but his voice was still very weak.

"By the way, except for the Han King who is in the field, have the other parties been arrested?" Li Shimin asked again at this time, in fact, what he wanted to ask most was Hou Junji, but now he really didn't want to mention this name anymore.

"I just received the news that these rebellious comrades have been arrested, and now they have been escorted to Dali Temple for trial, and as for the Han King, he has also sent people, and there should be news soon." The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated for a moment and finally opened his mouth to report, just when Li Shimin vomited blood to rescue him, there was also news from outside that all the princelings related to the rebellion had been arrested, and Hou Junji was the last to be arrested.

"That's good, no one is allowed to let go of anyone involved in this matter!" Li Shimin also hated when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, even now, he still felt that the reason why Li Chengqian rebelled was mainly instigated by those people around him, especially Li Yuanchang and others, of course, Li Shimin, as a father, may think like this just to make himself feel better, but the more this is the case, the more miserable the fate of Li Yuanchang and others will be.

The eldest grandson Wuji also immediately agreed, and then Li Shimin turned to Li Xiu again, and the expression on his face softened a little: "I heard that the crown princess went outside the city, she should have gone to you for help, right?" ”

"The crown princess is a woman who values love and righteousness, and now the princess is taking care of her, so that she doesn't want to do anything stupid." Li Xiu also nodded at this time and said, the Su family left the East Palace and went out of the city, such a big thing must not be hidden from Li Shimin's ears and eyes.

"This Su family was originally a concubine chosen by Cheng Qian, but I didn't expect that she was indeed a good woman, and even from her, I actually saw a little shadow of Guanyin, and it was also his blessing for Cheng Qian to have such a wife!" Li Shimin also nodded at this time and said, when he was hit before the Xuanwumen Incident, Empress Changsun also never gave up on him, and now the Su family is the same for Li Chengqian, which is also the only thing that makes him feel relieved after Li Chengqian's incident.

Hearing Li Shimin mention Empress Changsun, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji also glanced at each other, and they both saw a little regret in each other's eyes, if Empress Changsun was still alive, I am afraid that Li Chengqian would not be forced to rebel.

I saw Li Shimin pause at this time, and then looked at Li Xiu and said, "But although this Su family is like Guanyin in terms of personality, it is far less smart than Guanyin, because she doesn't know that even if she doesn't go to you, you will still come to the palace to intercede for Chengqian." ”

Maybe it was because of the betrayal of his sons that Li Shimin also missed Empress Changsun even more, and even when he mentioned Empress Changsun, the corners of his mouth actually flashed with a smile of longing, which made Li Xiu and Empress Changsun Wuji feel even more uncomfortable, because Li Shimin rarely mentions the deceased Empress Changsun in front of people, and now his mood is obviously a little abnormal.

Li Shimin was immersed in the memories of Empress Changsun for a while, and finally suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked up at Li Xiu again and said: "By the way, I remember the last time I went to your house, and when I was about to leave in the end, you asked me, hoping that I could promise you, no matter what wrong things Cheng Qian did in the future, let me be more considerate of him, did you already expect Cheng Qian to come to this point today?" ”

Li Xiu couldn't help but be startled when he heard Li Shimin's words, that day he asked Li Shimin to be more considerate of Li Chengqian, indeed as he guessed, hoping that Li Shimin could spare Li Chengqian's life after his rebellion, but Li Xiu definitely couldn't admit this kind of thing, first, there was no way to explain it, and second, if he did, I was afraid that he would also be involved in this case.

So Li Xiu also deliberately showed a wry smile at this time: "Your Majesty really thinks too highly of the minister, where does the minister have the ability to be such an unpredictable prophet, but at that time, His Majesty personally killed that servant, and the minister felt that it would make the prince sad, so that he would deliberately do something to anger Your Majesty, so I asked Your Majesty not to be like the prince." ”

Li Xiu's explanation was also seamless, but Li Shimin still looked at Li Xiu with suspicion at this time, he did not suspect that Li Xiu and Li Chengqian had anything to do with the rebellion, but recalled that in the years of knowing Li Xiu, the other party had shown far more than ordinary people in many things, and it seemed that he could really predict the next development of things.

In fact, not only Li Shimin thought of the above, but the eldest grandson Wuji next to him also looked at Li Xiu suspiciously at this time, after Li Shimin's reminder, he also thought of Li Xiu's previous deeds, especially in some court events, Li Xiu always seems to be able to make judgments one step ahead, and almost no mistakes, this ability is simply too rebellious.

Li Xiu naturally also discovered the strangeness of Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji, which made him secretly smile bitterly in his heart, no matter how he usually disguised, in the end he still couldn't escape the eyes of Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji, but even so, he couldn't tell the truth, after all, this was his biggest secret, and even if he said it, no one would believe it.

"Your Majesty, King Wei asks to see you!" At this moment, a waiter suddenly came to report, which made Li Xiu feel relieved, and this was the first time he found that Li Tai was so cute.
