As soon as he heard that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were fighting, Li Xiu couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming? But then he jumped up from the bed, put on his clothes and went out, only to see an anxious waiter standing outside, this waiter Li Xiu knew, the other party's name was Gao Gong, he was the most intimate waiter around Li Zhi, and he usually took care of Li Zhi's daily life.

"What's going on, how could the crown prince and the king of Wei fight?" Li Xiu immediately asked Gao Gong.

"This ...... The slave and maid can't say clearly, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin can't persuade him now, so he can only let the slave and maid come and ask the concubine to come over for a trip. Gao Gong hesitated when he heard Li Xiu's question, and then replied, but looking at the way his eyes rolled around, he must know something, but he didn't dare to say nonsense, after all, whether it was the crown prince or the king of Wei, it was not something he could afford to provoke.

Li Xiu was also anxious at this time, after all, Empress Changsun had just died, and as a result, the two sons fought in front of her spirit, especially when Li Tai stayed in the Wude Hall before, it was easier to lead people to guess, so if this matter spread, I am afraid it will become a big scandal.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu didn't bother to ask any more, the most important thing now is to block the news, and then persuade Li Chengqian and Li Tai to stop, lest if something really happens, then he can't cover it, then it's really bad.

At that moment, Li Xiu asked people to prepare horses, and then rode horses to the Stopping Spirit Palace, originally Li Xiu thought that he would see the scene of Li Chengqian and Li Tai scuffling together, but he didn't expect that when he came here, he saw that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were separated by the guards, but even so, the two were still staring at each other with red eyes, as if they wanted to eat each other alive.

"Sir, you are here, I have no choice but to ask the guards to separate the eldest brother and the fourth brother, lest they hurt each other!" Seeing Li Xiu come in, I saw Li Zhi crying and running over and saying, the little guy was probably frightened, but he was worried that the two elder brothers would be injured, so he forcibly ordered the guards to separate Li Chengqian and them, but with his age, it was quite rare to have such a decision.

"Don't cry, pheasant slave, you did a good job, leave it to me to deal with it next!" Li Xiu looked at Li Zhi who was crying bitterly, and couldn't help but squat down and comfort him in a low voice, Li Zhi's character has always been a little cowardly, and now he is forced to force the guards to separate the two brothers, I am afraid that the situation just now also scared him a lot, otherwise he would never have the courage to stop the two brothers.

After Li Xiu finished speaking, he patted Li Xiu's shoulder, and then stood up and walked to the middle of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, although the two of them still looked eager to eat each other just now, but when they saw Li Xiu, both of them were also a little ashamed, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Li Xiu.

"Today's matter, if there is even the slightest rumor from the outside world, everyone present is engaged in military law, understand?" I saw that Li Xiu looked around the entire Stopping Spirit Hall at this time, and then stared at the eyes of those guards and palace maids and said slowly, he has always disliked threatening others, but this time the matter is too bad, so the news must be blocked.

Although Li Xiu's voice was not high, the murderous aura in his voice made everyone feel a pang in their hearts, especially some palace maids were even more frightened, and then they shouted in unison: "Subordinates (slaves) understand!" ”

"Stand down!" Li Xiu looked around again at this time, and then said slowly, he is just showing his attitude now, letting these people know the seriousness of the leaked news, and then there will naturally be special people to gag these people's mouths.

There were not many people in the Soul Stopping Palace, and they all retreated soon, and even the guards who were holding Li Chengqian and Li Tai were driven away by Li Xiu, and for a while, only Li Xiu, Li Zhi, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai were left in the huge Soul Stopping Palace.

Li Xiu kept staring at Li Chengqian and Li Tai with stern eyes, which made the heads of the two of them lower even more, and after a long while, I saw Li Xiu say in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it, why are you fighting, and it is still in front of your mother's spirit, aren't you afraid that your mother's spirit in the sky will see it?" ”

"Yes...... He did it first, and I just wanted to protect myself! As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, I saw Li Tai raise his head and explain in a low voice, and glared at Li Chengqian very unconvinced after speaking.

Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian when he heard this, but he saw that he was lowering his head and biting his lip at this time, not speaking or defending, as if he acquiesced to Li Tai's accusation. However, Li Xiu felt a little strange, after all, with Li Chengqian's temperament, it should be impossible to beat Li Tai so impulsively, so he also opened his mouth at this time and asked: "Chengqian, what is going on, why are you beating your brother?" ”

"There's nothing to say, this incident started because of me, and all the fault is mine!" Li Chengqian replied hard at this time, and there was no expression on his face, as if he was saying something irrelevant.

Seeing Li Chengqian's attitude, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, but at this time, Li Zhi next to him pulled Li Xiu's sleeve, and then said in a low voice: "Sir, in fact, you can't just blame the eldest brother for this matter, obviously the fourth brother first accused the eldest brother of killing his mother, so the eldest brother couldn't bear to do it." ”

"Pheasant slave, don't meddle!" Although Li Zhi's voice was not loud, Li Tai still heard it, and immediately accused him sharply, but Li Zhi was also frightened and hid behind Li Xiu's back and did not dare to come out.

"Shut up!" But just as Li Tai spoke, he suddenly heard an angry roar from outside the hall, and then only saw the pale Li Shimin striding in, but he was already sick, and he coughed violently after just a few steps.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he saw Li Shimin coming in, because since the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin has been very sick, not only can he not deal with the aftermath of Empress Changsun, but he can't even deal with the government, and now he is all up to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

"These two unconscious brutes, if I don't come, I'm afraid they will tear down their mother's mourning hall!" Li Shimin pointed at his two sons and scolded with a sad face at this time, which made Li Chengqian and Li Tai all bow their heads and dare not say another word.

"Your Majesty is angry, don't be angry!" At this moment, I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji also rushed in from outside the hall, and then persuaded Li Shimin, it seems that they all came immediately after receiving the news, but Li Xiu was relatively close, so he came earlier.

"How do you let me calm my anger!" Li Shimin spoke again very sadly at this time, and then saw him striding in front of Li Chengqian, staring at him with dead eyes and saying, "Chengqian, what did your mother tell you before she died, and now that your mother's bones are not cold, have you forgotten?" ”

"Erchen...... Erchen has not forgotten! Li Chengqian couldn't withstand the pressure in front of his father, and finally replied in a choked voice.

"Didn't forget? Then repeat to me, what did your mother say? Li Shimin spoke again angrily at this time, but his body was too weak, and he was a little unstable after speaking, but fortunately, the attendant next to him helped him to stand up straight, but he gasped for breath.

"Mother...... My mother told me to take care of my younger siblings and not let them be wronged! Li Chengqian replied with tears in his eyes, and when he said this, he seemed to think of the scene when his mother told them earnestly before she died.

"You still have the face to say that you take care of your younger brothers and sisters, but look at the present, you actually beat your younger brother in front of your mother's spirit, do you still have the face to be a brother?" Li Shimin said hatefully again at this time, his chest also rose and fell violently, and his face, which was originally pale due to illness, was also flushed with anger, which made people worry when they looked at it.

"I ......" Facing his father's reprimand, Li Chengqian had nothing to say at this time, so he could only bow his head again and be silent.

I saw that after Li Shimin reprimanded Li Chengqian, he suddenly turned to look at Li Tai behind him, although he was sick, but his eyes were still extremely sharp, which made Li Tai's whole body tremble in fright, and the whole person shrank his neck and lowered his head, with his fat figure, it looked like a ball of meat, which made people feel like laughing.

"Qingque, I heard the pheasant slave's words just now, are you accusing your eldest brother of your mother's death?" Li Shimin stared at Li Tai for a long time at this time, and then asked slowly.

"Father, I'm ...... I just ......"

Li Tai seemed to want to explain at this time, but before he finished speaking, he saw Li Shimin suddenly take a step forward, and then stretched out his hand to slap him, but only heard a crisp sound of "pop~", and Li Tai was also beaten crookedly, and almost fell to the ground.

"Father, you ......" Li Tai was also confused by Li Shimin's slap, and looked at Li Shimin incredulously with his face covered at the moment, and a look of shame and anger flashed on his face, after all, he was so big, Li Shimin had never beaten him, let alone in front of so many people, which made him, who had always been proud, really unacceptable.

In fact, not only Li Tai himself didn't expect it, but Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect it either, and even Li Chengqian was stunned at this time, because he felt that his father had always loved Li Tai the most, and no matter what mistakes the other party made, Li Shimin would forgive the other party, so he never dreamed that he would beat Li Tai.

"Do you know why I hit you?" I saw that Li Shimin gasped a few times at this time, and then he said to Li Taidao with a calm face, but his two eyes were staring at him, as if he was about to erupt into anger.

"I ...... I...... Sons should not have said those things. In the face of Li Shimin's anger, Li Tai slowly calmed down at this time, and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake to Li Shimin.

"It's good to know, some words are like sharp arrows, and they will hurt people when they exit, your eldest brother is wrong, but the real cause lies with you!" When Li Shimin said this, he once again showed a sad expression, paused for a moment, and then continued, "You say, what should I do with you, so that your mother's inspiration in heaven can be comforted?" ”
