Chapter 400: Confrontation

Li Shimin is now stimulated and does not trust anyone.

The little eunuch didn't dare to hide it, so he told Li Shimin what Cen Wenwen said to him.

Li Shimin glared and said, "Cen Wenwen, what are you going to do?" ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty, the minister is thinking about the emperor. Once you send someone to arrest the crown princess, the conflict will intensify even more. ”

Li Shimin said: "They dare to threaten me, am I still afraid that they will not succeed?" As he spoke, he walked forward.

Cen Wenwen also followed.

After they left, the little eunuch was stunned, and he didn't figure out what Li Shimin meant. He didn't know whether he should go or not, and reported to Empress Changsun.

He wasn't sure what to do, so he went to his boss, the eunuch Sun Ming, for advice.

After listening to the little eunuch's narration, Sun Ming pondered for a long time and said, "You better go and report to the queen." ”

Only then did the little eunuch walk towards the Lizheng Palace.

Lizheng Palace.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, already knew what was going on outside, and he stared at him with frightened eyes, begging Empress Changsun to save his life, begging them not to hand him over.

Empress Eldest Sun turned pale and sat there silent.

At this time, the little eunuch came in and said, "Queen Mother, it's not good, the emperor has sent someone to arrest the crown princess, and he wants to escort the princess to the palace wall."

Empress Changsun was shocked and stood up suddenly. Xin said: "It's bad, the emperor is really dizzy, how can he do this?" ”

She said: "Li Tai, you stay here honestly, don't go anywhere." After speaking, she hurriedly walked out of the Lizheng Hall and walked in the direction of the East Palace.

Ma Xuanliang came to the East Palace and asked to see the crown princess.

Li Ning'er said: "Manager Ma, do you have something wrong?" ”

Ma Xuanliang was very embarrassed and said: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the minister has ordered the emperor's will to invite Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to the palace wall. ”

Li Ning'er and others had already prepared for this kind of thinking, but they were still disappointed with Li Shimin's approach.

Li Ning'er said calmly: "Manager Ma, can I go with you alone?" ”

Ma Xuan said in conscience: "The emperor only said to let the crown princess go, and he didn't say how many to go." He said, "All right, just follow me yourself." ”

Li Ning'er said to Wu Cong and the others: "You stay at home and don't worry about anything." ”

Begonia, Wu Cong, and Sand Mining looked at her with tears in their eyes and nodded.

Li Ning'er said to Ma Xuanliang: "Manager Ma, let's go,"

Empress Changsun took three steps and made two steps, and hurried to the East Palace.

When Haitang Wu Cong and Sand Mining saw the eldest grandson queen, they hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, save Ning'er, she was taken to the palace wall by Ma Xuanliang." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was anxious, and said calmly on the surface: "Okay, I know, don't worry, I'll find a way."

Now, you just stay quietly in the East Palace and don't do anything. Remember, don't make any moves, and all of you don't leave the East Palace for half a step, so as not to have other accidents. ”

Haitang and the others said: "The queen mother, the sons and daughters know. ”

Empress Changsun left the East Palace and walked towards the palace gate.

After she had walked a few steps, she suddenly stopped, stood there silently pondering for a while, then turned around and walked in the direction of the Lizheng Palace.

At this time, her face was pale, but there was a resolute look in her eyes.

Li Shimin finally appeared on the palace wall.

Seeing Li Shimin's figure, thousands of officials and soldiers bowed and saluted together and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin glared at them angrily, and after a moment, he said: "

What are you going to do? Is it to force the palace, or to rebel? ”

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are neither forcing the palace, nor rebelling.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, has a clear crime and conclusive evidence, and the ministers implore the emperor to uphold the laws of the Tang Dynasty and correct the dynasty. ”

Li Shimin said: "I am the Son of Heaven, the world is my world, how to judge right and wrong, how to deal with it, is my business, I don't need you to make up your mind." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, your ministers dare not agree! The world of the Tang Dynasty is the world of the emperor and the world of all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Imperial power is noble, but it cannot override the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people! Li Tai, the king of Wei, has violated a number of laws of the Tang Dynasty and should be severely punished. Please ask the emperor to put the country's society first, and don't protect Li Tai anymore. ”

Li Shimin said: "Wei Zheng, you were originally the sworn friend of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and it was I who rescued you from prison and reused you to get to where you are today, is this how you repay me?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "The emperor's kindness to his ministers is as heavy as a mountain, and the death of his ministers is not enough to repay him.

However, what the minister wants to do today is not a personal matter of the minister, it is related to the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the discipline of the imperial court, and the two cannot be compared."

Li Shimin was very angry, and his ministers named them one by one, telling them their kindness.

He said: "I, Li Shimin, what am I sorry for you? That's how you treat me? Do you force me to kill my own son? If it were you, who were forced to kill your own son, would you be willing? ”

Li Shimin's words were indeed very lethal, and many ministers couldn't bear it in their hearts and lowered their heads.

Li Shimin saw that his prestige was still there, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he pointed the finger at the crown prince Li Su.

Li Shimin shouted: "Prince Li Su, I know you are here, why don't you dare to stand up?" Do you have a weak heart? ”

Li Su has always kept face for Li Shimin, and seeing that since he said so, he stood up generously.

Li Su said: "Your Majesty, your words, the ministers dare not agree,"

Li Shimin said: "You say, what's wrong with what I said? ”

Li Su said: "First of all, your words are unreasonable.

Li Tai is the prince, and he is also a subject of the Tang Dynasty, since he is a subject of the Tang Dynasty, he should abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

However, for his own selfish interests, he plotted, framed, and assassinated other princes, violating the laws of Datong, and should be punished by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

And just because he is a prince should not be able to make an exception.

May I ask the emperor, if someone else commits such a crime, do you think he should accept the punishment of the law?

Second, your words don't make sense.

Li Tai is your son, the abolished prince Li Chengqian, the king of Shu Li Ke, and I, Li Su, are they not your sons? Li Tai plotted to kill Li Chengqian, framed Li Ke, sent people to assassinate me Li Su four times, and repeatedly spread rumors to frame me for rebellion.

What are you doing at this time?

You favor Li Tai, and the world knows it. Obvious unfairness.

May I ask the emperor, Li Tai is your son, you can take care of your family. Huangfu Duan'er, doesn't he have parents? Don't have loved ones?

Does she deserve to die? ”

Li Su's words were a bombshell, which aroused the anger of the ministers and swept away the slightest trace of their unbearability with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was at a loss for words, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.

He said, "Anyway, I am the Son of Heaven. You persecuted me and you were disobedient. I will never accept your persecution. "Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
