Li Su said: "Do nothing, wait and see." My father is now at the most sensitive time, and the slightest movement will cause a change in his thoughts. Besides, the crown prince has not been clearly deposed, and it is a little too early to do anything. ”

Hou Junji said: "The minister understands. ”

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

Li Shimin has been a little depressed these days. The crown prince will rebel, and it will be too big a blow for him, the first emperor of the ages who thinks he is wise and powerful.

He hadn't been to court for many days in a row, and he didn't bother to look at the mountains of musicals. You don't have to look at it to know what it means.

These days, Empress Changsun has asked to see her many times, but Li Shimin has not agreed. He didn't need to see her, and he knew that she was going to intercede for Li Chengqian. He couldn't see her either, because he couldn't give her a positive answer.

Li Shimin was on fire, his mouth was full of bubbles, and his teeth hurt. In the past few days, his temper has been extraordinarily big, just yesterday, a little eunuch made a small mistake, and Li Shimin usually didn't bother to pay attention to it, but he was furious and asked Wang De to stick him to death. For a time, everyone in the palace was in danger.

At this moment, he was leaning back in his chair in a daze, and Cen Wenwen walked in. He said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Liang has sent a concerto. ”

"Oh? Take it and I'll take a look. "Li Su, the king of Liang, has the right to directly meet him, and he will not be able to play a chapter unless he is in a foreign country. Although Li Shimin didn't see the concerto, he faintly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. This son will never let him down.

Sure enough, after Li Shimin finished reading the recital, his heart was overjoyed, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten. He shouted: "Wang De, Wang De! ”

Wang De didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly walked in. He said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

Li Shimin handed him the piece in his hand and said, "You go and give this to the queen, she naturally knows what to do." ”

The main hall was established.

Empress Eldest Sun sat on the bed, her face pale, she didn't shed tears, her tears have flowed too much these days. The eldest grandson, Wuji, sat in the chair opposite her.

Empress Changsun said: "Brother, the emperor just hasn't seen me these days, and he is so ruthless? Cheng Qian, my son. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Sister, you think too much. The emperor doesn't see you because he can't face you. The province of Zhongshu received at least 1,000 copies of the recitals to be disposed of. He also has no way, he meets you, and he doesn't know how to face you. ”

"But...... Brother, can't you intercede for Cheng Qian? Empress Eldest Sun said.

"Sister, I'm his uncle, and if I can intercede for him, of course I will. However, because I am his uncle, according to the system of the imperial court, I must avoid suspicion. I really can't help it. The eldest grandson Wuji said helplessly.

"Cheng Qian, my hard-working son." Empress Eldest Sun said almost wailingly.

At this moment, the maid came in and said, "Queen Mother, the princess is here." ”

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Empress Changsun stood up and said, "Hurry up, please." ”

After Wang De came in, Empress Changsun didn't wait for him to salute, so she hurriedly asked, "Princess, did the emperor ask you to come?" ”

Wang De didn't dare to abolish the number of rites, he saluted the eldest grandson queen and said: "The emperor ordered, he asked the old slave to give this to you to see, saying that you will know what to do after reading it." ”

After Empress Changsun took the piece in his hand and read it, her heart was ecstatic, and tears flowed down at once. She handed the piece back to Wang De and said excitedly: "You go back and thank the emperor for me." ”

Wang De said goodbye and left.

"Brother, Cheng Qian is saved." Empress Eldest Sun shouted eagerly.

The eldest grandson Wuji came out of the middle, looked at his ecstatic sister, and asked, "What did Wang De say?" ”

Empress Changsun said: "King Liang played a chapter, and Bao Cheng was dry." The emperor meant, let me go to King Liang to intercede. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with relief: "That's right, we are only sad and anxious, and we have forgotten His Royal Highness King Liang." Sister, hurry up and send someone to call His Royal Highness King Liang over. ”

Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "No, I will go to King Liang's Mansion in person." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Okay, this is better. ”

Empress Changsun immediately ordered: "Come on, prepare the car, I will go to the Liang Palace." ”

Liang Wangfu.

Empress Changsun came to the Liang Palace, but found that he was not in the palace. Yang Kang hurriedly went to the research institute to find him.

Qibi Wuyun and others accompanied the eldest grandson queen to chat and wait.

About an hour later, Liang Wang Li Su rushed back. Qibi Wuyun and the others knew that they wanted something to do, so they took their leave and left.

Empress Changsun said: "Su'er, your sonata, your father showed me it." Thank you, you have always been very good to Cheng Qian, this time he made a big mistake, you have to help him get through it. ”

Li Su said: "The prince's brother is benevolent and filial, and there are many reasons why he made a mistake this time. His pressure was too great, and with the instigation of the people around him, he changed his mind for a while, which is understandable.

Besides, he deliberately made a mistake, but after all, he did not act, and he did not cause any harm. Erchen thought it could be recovered. ”

Empress Eldest Sun said gratefully, "It's still you who are fair." Chengqian's matter, please leave it to you. I don't want anything else, as long as Cheng Qian is safe. ”

Li Su said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the sons will definitely be able to protect the prince's brother." ”

After sending off the eldest grandson queen, Li Su sent someone to call Du He.

After Li Su said something to Du He, Du He was stunned at first, and then said gratefully: "Brother Su, I thank you for my father." ”

Li Su smiled: "What do you say? own brothers. Hey, you've seen Yangcheng, do you like her or not? ”

Du He smiled: "Princess Yangcheng is beautiful and generous, I naturally like it, but can she take a fancy to me?" ”

Li Su said: "As long as you are willing, this matter will be on me." ”

Du He said: "Brother Yu, it's good to be your brother. ”

In the evening of the next day, the old mansion of the Duke of Laiguo.

After the death of Du Ruhui, the Duke of Laiguo, his eldest son Du Gou inherited the mansion.

Du Gou, the servant of the ministry, had returned from the palace of the king of Wei, and they had just held a meeting. The crown prince Li Chengqian fell, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, was very excited, and he thought that he had a great possibility of ascending to the throne, so he summoned the dead friends to celebrate, and arranged a plan of action to seize the throne.

Seeing that the King of Wei is about to ascend the throne, Du Gou, as the sworn friend of the King of Wei, has the merit of being a dragon, and the future is bright. He was in a good mood, and as soon as he returned to the house, he ordered the servants to put on a banquet, and he wanted to drink with his wives and concubines.

"Go'er, come on." At this time, his mother, Zhou, called him.

"Mother, are you looking for me?" Du Wei asked respectfully.

"Look who's coming." Zhou said.

"You, why are you here?" Du Wei asked in surprise when he saw Du He, who usually never interacted.
