Chapter 381: Quarrel
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. Now, he really experienced the feeling of sitting on pins and needles.
He really didn't know how to proceed, so he resorted to a trick - trick, he put his hand on his forehead and said: "I am not feeling well today, this matter will be discussed next time, let's retreat." ”
Now, the ministers have no choice. You can't force a patient, can you?
Lizheng Palace.
What happened in the early dynasty, there was a little eunuch who went to inform the eldest grandson queen.
Empress Eldest Sun felt very uncomfortable in her heart, her face was pale, and she sat there silent.
It was also expected that Li Tai would have this kind of ending, but although she had been mentally prepared in her heart, she was still very uncomfortable in her heart.
Empress Changsun knows that in the current situation, even Li Shimin may not be able to protect Li Tai. As a mother, she can't watch Li Tai die, she has to do something.
She knows that the key to this matter lies in the crown prince Li Su.
She still knows Li Su. Li Su is broad-minded, but he has his counterscales. His reverse scales are his friends, such as Li Dan and Du He, as well as his princesses.
Even if you murder him, he may not be so angry. But this time, Li Tai is targeting Li Ning'er, and Li Su will definitely not forgive Li Tai for this matter!
She thought about it, and thought of someone.
She sent someone to call Li Zhi, the king of Changsha.
Li Zhi saw that Empress Eldest Sun's face was pale and worried, and asked, "Queen Mother, are you not feeling well?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said, "It's not for your fourth brother's business. ”
Li Zhi said: "Queen Mother, you also know that I have always had a good relationship with my fourth brother. But this time the fourth brother went too far, he actually teamed up with those demons to murder his father, and he wanted to force the sixth brother and sixth sister-in-law to death.
He is to be punished, and this is self-inflicted. ”
Empress Changsun learned some information from Li Zhi and said, "I know everything you said. Before that, I warned Li Tai not to do things too much, but he refused to listen.
Now ......" she shook her head.
After being silent for a while, Empress Eldest Sun said, "But, Li Tai is my son after all, I have to do something?" You can't just watch him die, can you? ”
Li Zhi said: "Let the fourth brother die, it's not enough, right?" ”
Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said, "You and your sixth brother have been together for a short time, and I don't know him yet. Li Tai offended your sixth sister-in-law, which is much more powerful than offending him himself. ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "That's it, the fourth brother is too much, he actually spread those gossips in Chang'an City, and almost forced the sixth sister-in-law to death." ”
Empress Eldest Sun said solemnly: "Zhi'er, the queen mother wants to ask you to do something. ”
In Li Zhi's mind, Empress Changsun has always been kind and majestic, and he has both respect and love for her, but also a little fearful. Seeing the appearance of Empress Eldest Sun at this moment, he felt sad for a while, and said, "Queen Mother, don't say begging son, what do you want me to do?" I'm going to do my best. ”
Empress Eldest Sun said: "Now the only one who can talk to your sixth brother is you." I want to ask you to talk to your sixth brother and find a way to leave Li Tai a way to live. ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Queen Mother, you don't need to say anything about this matter, your sons will do it too." I'm going to find the sixth brother. ”
Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin's dormitory.
After Li Shimin returned to the dormitory, he was in an extremely bad mood and very complicated.
On the one hand, he was very dissatisfied with the crown prince Li Su, thinking that he should not give him face in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, and he was angry that his authority had been challenged!
On the other hand, there is also a hatred for Li Tai's lack of anger, resenting that he shouldn't offend Li Ning'er, even if he wants to protect him, it is difficult.
Among these sons, Li Shimin likes Li Tai, no matter what he does wrong, he will protect him.
What he wants to do now is how to protect Li Tai. After today's events in the court, he saw clearly that the group headed by the crown prince Li Su was the one who wanted to deal with Li Tai.
Therefore, the crux of the problem lies in the crown prince Li Su. So, he sent someone to call Li Su.
"Son, see Father." Li Su said respectfully.
Li Shimin looked at the son in front of him and didn't speak for a long time, Li Su also looked at Li Shimin, his expression calm and flat.
Li Shimin suddenly discovered that Li Su is now 22 years old, tall and straight, and a mature man.
Li Shimin thought of the situation in the early dynasty today, and suddenly became angry again, he said: "Prince, what do you mean today? ”
Li Su said coldly: "Your Majesty, it's not interesting. ”
As soon as Li Shimin heard it, he got it, this son began to disown his father again, and he didn't even call his father the emperor.
Li Shimin was very angry in his heart, he didn't know how to vent, he really wanted to reach out and slap Li Su.
However, he looked at Li Su's stubborn expression, and suddenly felt a little weak.
He was silent for a while and said, "You and Li Tai are both my sons, why don't you let Li Tai go?" ”
Li Su said: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, in your mind, Li Tai is your son, and neither of us is it." ”
Li Shimin said: "What bastard are you talking about? When have I stopped treating you as a son after all these years? ”
Li Su said: "You have favored Li Tai since you were a child. In your mind, all the other children combined are not as important as one Li Tai.
My eldest brother Li Chengqian, the reason why he has come to this point today is because he was forced by Li Tai. My third brother, Li Ke, was also framed by Li Tai.
For me, what kind of rumors, false accusations, and murders, what means did Li Tai not use? And more than once.
But how? Are you holding him accountable? In your mind, only Li Tai is the most important, even if the rest of us are all forced to die, it doesn't matter to you. ”
Li Shimin said: "What bastard are you talking about?
What happened to me with the rest of you? Am I reinstated Li Ke's title? Li Chengqian rebelled, did I protect him?
And you've done a good job over the years, did I make you a prince? ”
Li Su said: "Don't you know the ins and outs of these things? If it weren't for Li Tai's persecution and framing, would we need your protection?
How Li Tai treated me, I can ignore this.
However, Huangfu Duan'er was forced to death by him, and Ning'er was almost forced to death by him.
What's more, he actually poisoned the pill and wanted to kill you.
I can tell you clearly that Li Tai is by no means unaware of the poison of the elixir.
Think about it, what has he done all these years?
In the past, the court was in chaos, and you, as the emperor, could not make a decree.
Over the years, we have endured humiliation and burdens, developed the economy, established education, cracked down on the power of the gate lords, and revitalized the DPRK, and finally had a good situation of vigorous development!
However, as soon as Li Tai returned to the court, he maliciously belittled the minister, installed a confidant and a dead party, and excluded dissidents. Look at what has become of the atmosphere in the court?
He's just a-stirring stick, and as long as he's there, everyone won't be at peace.
Since you are so rare about him, I am not suitable for this prince, so you can let him do it.
However, I ask you for a grace that allows me to leave Datang with my family. We don't want to die unjustly at the hands of Li Tai. ”
