In the entire Tang Dynasty, the two people that the crown prince Li Chengqian feared the most were his father Li Shimin, and the other was his mother, the eldest grandson. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is not only because of their status, but also because of the wisdom of these two supermen. From childhood to adulthood, as long as Li Chengqian lied, he was never able to hide it from them.

When Li Chengqian entered Empress Changsun's study, he saw his mother and uncle sitting there with their faces bluffed, their sharp eyes seemed to have penetrated his heart.

This time, Empress Changsun was really anxious, her apricot eyes widened, and she shouted: "Qian'er, you kneel down for me." ”

Li Chengqian's forehead was sweating, and his legs immediately weakened and he knelt on the ground.

Empress Eldest Sun said, "Do you know what you have done? Come on, where did An Ning and Chong'er go? ”

Although Li Chengqian was afraid, he deeply sympathized with Changsun Chong and An Ning, and was unwilling to let them be chased back. He stubbornly said, "I don't know, child. ”

Empress Eldest Sun has experienced many major crises in her life, and she has been able to deal with them calmly. finally survived until now, Li Shimin's foundation has been solid, and Datang has gradually become stronger, but this crisis from the children made her a little angry.

She said with red eyes: "Cheng Qian, you are not an ordinary child, you are the crown prince, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, do you know what you should do?" ”

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Cheng Qian, today, I am not as a courtier, but as a father and your uncle, I beg you, this matter is too big, not only will it endanger the safety of the Tang Dynasty, but also ruin Chong'er and peace, and even your mother and uncle will be implicated." You have to tell the truth and chase them back quickly. ”

The worries of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson empress are real, the competition between the various forces in the court, and the open and secret battles in the harem are all bloody. If this matter is not handled well, it will be seized by political enemies, and it may be a disaster for the eldest grandson family. It is also a great threat to Li Chengqian's own position as the crown prince.

Li Chengqian was still a child, and he thought that he could not betray Changsun Chong and An Ning. In the face of the rebuke and pleading of his mother and uncle, although he was sad, he still stubbornly refused to let go.

Empress Changsun looked at her disobedient son, and suddenly stopped asking him. She silently shed tears and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Brother, this is the life of our eldest grandson family." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister, don't be like this, I'll talk to Cheng Qian again." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up, walked in front of Li Chengqian, bent his knees, and knelt down for him. pleaded: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please save your mother, please save your uncle's family." As he spoke, he kowtowed to Li Chengqian.

At this time, Li Chengqian was frightened, he didn't expect that this matter would develop to this point. He hurriedly stood up to help his uncle eldest grandson Wuji, but eldest grandson Wuji refused to get up.

Empress Eldest Sun asked, "Cheng Qian, do you want to talk about it?" ”

Li Chengqian was still a little hesitant, he muttered and said, "Queen mother, the child ......"

Seeing him like this, Empress Changsun stood up and said to Changsun Wuji: "Brother, you stand up, since he refuses to help us, we will die as soon as we die, and my sister will go first." ”

Empress Eldest Sun stood up and walked out.

Li Chengqian was completely frightened, he didn't expect that the usually gentle queen mother would make such a move, he "poofed", knelt on the ground, and explained the whereabouts of the eldest grandson Chong and Princess An Ning.

Empress Changsun and Empress Changsun Wuji did not reproach Li Chengqian, they just asked him to keep it secret, and then sent their absolute cronies to chase after Changsun Chong and Princess An Ning.

Besides, Princess An Ning and Changsun Chong, after they escaped from Chang'an City, they did not go directly to the west, but fled to the southeast.

Changsun Chong is a smart man, he knows that he can't go directly to the west, because the people in his own house will inevitably reveal their whereabouts, and the pursuers will definitely pursue them to the west. Therefore, he decided to go east to Weinan County first, and then make a detour to the west, to the kingdom of Tianzhu (India).

In the fleeing carriage, the eldest grandson Chong and Princess An Ning shook each other's hands, and a joy of freedom arose. They looked at each other's faces and smiled with delight.

After a long time, An Ning let go of his hand, leaned his head on the shoulder of Changsun Chong, and gradually fell asleep with the bumps of the carriage. After a long period of nervousness and worry, Changsun Chong was also a little tired, and slowly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it was, but the carriage stopped. The eldest grandson Chong and An Ning were woken up and found that the sky had begun to darken.

The eldest grandson Chong was about to ask where the coachman was, when he suddenly heard a voice that they didn't want to hear: "Chong'er, Princess Anning, come down." The two of them turned pale all of a sudden: This is the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji.

It turned out that after learning the whereabouts of the children, Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji were worried that others would leak the news. Moreover, he was also worried that the children would be disobedient and others would not be able to persuade him, so the eldest grandson Wuji personally rode a horse and rushed over.

At this point, although the two children were very reluctant, they could only obediently follow the eldest grandson Wuji back.

Empress Changsun, Empress Wuji, and Concubine Xian, the mother of Princess An Ning, did not blame the children, they tried their best to appease them, and at the same time suppressed the matter. As for the servants who helped them escape, they were all kept in secret to prevent leakage of information.

Things settled down. The adults were relieved too.

However, a few days later, that is, today, when the three evils were rewarded, this matter was brought out again.

It turned out that in the past few days, Princess An Ning has not spoken and stayed by her mother's side calmly, but today she once again proposed to her mother Concubine Xian not to marry Xue Yantuo's Yi Nan, and her mother Concubine Xian persuaded her for a long time, and finally, Princess An Ning was no longer refuting.

However, just when Concubine Xian left Anning because she was tired and wanted to take a break. An Ning hanged herself. Thanks to the timely discovery of the palace maid, she was spared.

Concubine Xian and Empress Eldest Sun didn't expect that the usually well-behaved and quiet tranquility would be so fierce. What if something happens again? The two were at a loss.

In the study room of the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Shangshu (Minister of National Defense) of the Ministry of War, and Cen Wenwen, Zhongshu Shilang (Secretary General), discussed the establishment of a military grain transfer station in the border area close to Datang and Xue Yantuo. The chieftain, the eunuch Wang De, walked in.

Wang De said: "Your Majesty, the queen is here. ”

For the eldest grandson queen, Li Shimin has always respected each other, loved and respected, there are many concubines in the palace, but he spent most of the month in her bedroom. Moreover, no matter where, on the day of the full moon, he must spend it with the eldest grandson empress.

When Li Shimin heard that the queen was coming, he said with a strong spirit: "Invite her in?" ”
