Empress Changsun heard about the situation in the court, and had a premonition that something was wrong.

Before that, she reached an agreement with Li Tai, leaving Li Tai with a very good way out - as long as Li Tai leaves the court, he can go to Hedong to be a rich prince and live a comfortable second half of his life.

However, Li Tai just wanted to do it, it could be said to be death, and the eldest grandson queen didn't listen to how she persuaded her.

Now the situation in the court has shown that Li Su has begun to make a move.

Empress Changsun knows very well in her heart that although Li Shimin is the emperor, there are still laws in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin alone can influence it.

If the ministers are all against it, even Li Shimin, the emperor, is in danger. She has now begun to consider whether to abandon Li Tai to protect Li Shimin.

Over the years, she has clearly seen that Li Su is an extremely powerful character. He has a very high prestige in the court and in the army, and his prestige among the people can also be comparable to Li Shimin, or even surpass Li Shimin.

Li Su is generous, and the best way to get along with Li Su is to respect him and not hurt him, and Empress Changsun herself did this.

However, first Li Chengqian, and then Li Tai, regarded Li Su's generosity as weakness and could be bullied, which was really a death.

As one of the most illustrious women in history, Empress Eldest Sun was wise, and she now realized an even greater danger – it was no longer just about Li Tai's life.

Li Su and Li Shimin are very likely to have a conflict, not to mention whether Li Shimin can defeat Li Su, even if Li Su is defeated, the impact on the Tang Dynasty will never be less influential than the Xuanwumen Revolution back then.

If you do this, you will definitely tear apart Datang, and even completely bury Datang.

Empress Changsun never wanted to see this happen. She thought about it again and again, so she went to the East Palace to see Li Su.

East Palace.

As soon as Empress Changsun entered the East Palace, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. Li Su and the princesses were very polite and cold to her. Especially Li Ning'er, she just saluted to the eldest grandson queen and didn't say a word.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Ning'er and the others, Li Yu understood, and said, "Begonia, Ning'er, you go down first." ”

Empress Eldest Sun and Li Su came to the study, and Li Su said lightly: "Queen Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Empress Changsun said, "Prince, I am here to apologize to you. I'm really sorry that it has caused you a lot of trouble because of Li Tai's matter. ”

Li Su still said lightly: "There is no need to apologize, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "I know the seriousness of the matter, I hope you can stay calm, if there is anything, let's discuss it well, and don't let the matter develop to the point of no return." ”

When Li Su heard the words of the eldest grandson, he felt a little unhappy, and he said, "Queen Mother, what else do you want?"

How much trouble has Li Tai had with me over the years? You have only sent men to assassinate me four times, and you are only satisfied if you let him kill me? ”

Empress Eldest Sun didn't interrupt him, Li Su was still a child in front of her. She had to give him a chance to vent, so she patiently listened to what he had to say.

Sure enough, Li Su said: "Before, I saw in the face of my father and you, and I had forgiven him. Not so long ago, I still looked at the face of you and my father, and forgave him again. ”

However, not long after we reached an agreement, Li Tai broke the agreement, and he had already begun to attack me.

Through his father, he dismissed my father-in-law, Hou Junji and Li Ning'er, and forced Li Jing, the general who supported me, to leave the military circle.

I know that he wants to get rid of the people around me and the people who support me one by one, and then I can only let him be slaughtered.

Li Tai is your own son, and you are a family. However, what am I sorry for your family, how did I treat you when Li Chengqian hurt me and Li Tai hurt me back then?

Is it because I am the prince that I am hindering you? What kind of bullshit prince, do you think I'm willing to do it? Didn't I wholeheartedly protect Li Chengqian as the prince back then? I'm telling you, I'm not rare.

The emperor and Li Tai are close, you are a family. I have already told the emperor that I am not worthy of this prince.

However, I know very well in my heart now that I am not worthy of this prince, and you will not let me live.

I won't tell you anything, Wuyun, Qing'er and Narcissus, I have already let them leave Chang'an, and you are so ruthless if you can live one more.

This is not a way, I can save the three of them, what should my mother do? What about my brother? What about my other princesses? ”

Li Su said very sadly, and his tears flowed down his cheeks.

Empress Eldest Sun also sympathized with Li Su in her heart, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and the eldest grandson Wuji back then, forcing this child to be very bitter.

Li Su wiped away his tears and said firmly:

"Now that I figured it out, it's better to die than to die. I'm telling you, I'm not going to back down this time. Either you will kill me, or I will never let Li Tai go. ”

Empress Eldest Sun was silent and let him vent his emotions.

Seeing that Li Su was no longer talking, Empress Eldest Sun said: "Good boy, I have really wronged you all these years. You didn't feel sorry for your father, and you saved my life. It's me and your father, I'm sorry for you. ”

Li Su has always respected Empress Changsun, and when he heard her words, he felt a lot better.

Empress Changsun continued to say some comforting words to him, and Li Su's mood gradually calmed down.

Empress Changsun said: "You are not at fault in this matter, it is me and your father who are at fault.

The situation now is that it is no longer just a matter between you and Li Tai. It's that you have a conflict with your father.

You know your father's temper, and he has become even more irritable since he asked the immortals.

Your father is the emperor, you are the crown prince, and you are the two most important figures in the Tang Dynasty. If there is a conflict between the two of you, the consequences will be severe.

Over the years, everything you have done for Datang, I have seen it in my eyes, and you have made great contributions to the prosperity of Datang today.

However, if you have a conflict with your father, it is very likely that it will ruin the hard-won good situation that you have worked so hard for!

So I want you to stay calm.

Li Su said: "Queen Mother, I know that what you said is right, but if you stand in my position and think about it, I must fight for a way to live for myself and for the people who rely on me behind me." Therefore, I will never budge. ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded and said, "You are right, what you said is not wrong, if I were you, I would do the same as you." ”

At this, she fell silent, biting her lip and thinking silently.

After a long time, she took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. 2210
