Chapter 560: Father and Son Cannibalize
Yes, Empress Changsun, who has always been admired and praised by people, became the first victim of this rebellion, and was put down by a dose of poison before the rebellion really began, which is why at the beginning of the rebellion, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun failed to come forward to suppress it at the first time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Li Shimin supported his body, came forward to appease all the rebellious soldiers, and after promising to let them put down their weapons, he also fainted in the palace, and still hasn't woken up.
His problem is not the same as the eldest grandson queen who left first, the queen can be said to have been poisoned, while Li Shimin is an old problem under the action of various emotions such as sadness and anger, so he can't hold on to fainting.
The key is that this poisonous thing can appear in the palace because of their own son, Li Zhi, who has always been favored, gave it to him.
It can't be said that it is a complete poison, and it still has the nature of a great tonic, but for the emperor's family, who also have the disease of wind disease, it has become a poison that will delay the onset if you eat it.
To say that Li Zhi was unintentional, sending such food into the palace is completely filial piety, it seems a bit far-fetched, otherwise why is it so coincidental, the Empress Changsun has just had a seizure here, and the imperial doctor has just arrived, and the rebellion over there has occurred, and the entire palace is in chaos, and the rebels also happen to take advantage of this opportunity to further grow, these are obviously not a coincidence that can be explained.
This is also an important reason why the elite border army led by Zhang Shigui, after quelling the rebellion in the imperial city, took advantage of the situation to surround the prince's mansion, and Li Tai and Li Zhi's mansions.
It is not only to find the real murderer from among them, but also to protect them, especially when Li Shimin was angry before and had already passed out once. There is really a case that he can't wake up, these armies can also protect Li Shimin's finally chosen successor and truly sit on the throne.
However, if he really faces the end, Li Shimin will definitely choose the most suitable candidate for the emperor for the current Tang Dynasty, and will not pursue this rebellion again, which son is more involved behind it, and even who killed the queen can be put aside for the time being, and everything must be compromised for the future of the Tang Empire.
Therefore, whether Li Shimin can wake up, or whether he can hold on for a few more years, for many people, they are two completely different situations, and they will have different fates.
After Cheng Yanjin smoothed out the whole process for Shi Lei, he gave Shi Lei a good analysis of the current situation, and couldn't help but sigh a little bit after speaking.
"This emperor is boring enough, knowing that his son wants to kill himself, and also killed their own mother, what must it be like in his heart......" Shi Lei also said with a sigh.
It seems that it is right to set up a family motto for one's own family, and it is right that no one can be the emperor, for that position, this has reached the point of cannibalism between father and son, which is simply the biggest tragedy in the world, why bother......
"Who says it's not......" Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said helplessly.
"In addition, it is certain that there is more than one Wuxun involved, the first thing to be sure of is Hou Junji, who you said might be opposed, that goods have now been taken care of, and Zhang Liang's goods that raised more than 500 sons have not run.
It is not a pity for them to die, since they have done the business of rebellion, they should know what will happen if they fail, they all started with rebellion, and there is no need to say anything more. And in the current state, it is completely out of anger, and it is unrealistic to spare them.
But let's try to save their families, they are all people with wives and children, and it would be a pity if they were all cut down. There has been enough blood shed in this rebellion, so let's save some if we can. Cheng Yanjin patted Shi Lei's shoulder, still a little depressed and said.
"Well, the boy knows." Shi Lei hurriedly nodded and agreed.
"Alas...... What kind of rebellion do you say, it's only been a few days of peace, can the Tang Dynasty get to this point, is it easy to have the current situation, which of you is not out of your strength, how much blood and sweat you have shed, why do you always destroy it yourself? Cheng Yanjin still couldn't help but sigh a few words.
"Then I'll go back now and wait for further news?" A few words of simple persuasion, and after Cheng Yanjin's emotions calmed down, Shi Lei asked again.
Now that the forces of the Sixteen Guards have all been mobilized, his men and horses don't have to do anything out of the ordinary, but they still need to be prepared to take over themselves.
This is not a trivial matter of killing Empress Changsun, if it is really Li Chengqian who made all this behind his back, he Shi Lei is also a well-known guy who is close to Li Chengqian, and he will definitely be eaten.
Even if he has the talisman of potatoes, Li Shimin must be very angry, how can he still consider this, if he wants to kill him, he will not be given a chance to argue at all. If this worst-case scenario really happens, Shi Lei will have to be ready to run away at any time.
"Well, let's go back and wait for now, and wait until further news comes from the palace, and then don't ask around. In addition, you should also take care of yourself, and pay attention to the safety of the moon and the children. After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he patted Shi Lei's shoulder very seriously.
Shi Lei can see the things, in fact, Cheng Yanjin, who is not bad-eyed, can naturally see it.
If Li Shimin really dies, it will be okay, although there will still be some twists and turns, but Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne is basically a sure thing.
For so many years, he has been carefully cultivated as the sole heir, compared to his two younger brothers, he is obviously much better in terms of personal talent and governing experience, and his performance in the supervision of the country has been remarkable, so Li Shimin really has a case, Li Chengqian is absolutely deserved.
But if Li Shimin wakes up and finally determines that everything is done by Li Chengqian, it will be difficult to say. If he really comes to this point, Li Chengqian may not be fine, but Shi Lei will definitely not be good.
Cheng Yanjin was also afraid that this kind of situation would happen, and this meeting between the two was likely to be the last time they met, so he vaguely told him for a long time.
After all, it is his own child, and Cheng Yanjin also hopes that even in the face of the most unfavorable situation, he can save the children's lives.
Of course, this is only one possibility, and the worst is possible. Judging from the current situation, Li Chengqian's suspicion is actually not big. It's just that things like rebellion have happened, and everyone can't help but plan for the worst, and Li Shimin, who is furious, can't guess it with common sense.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I have made thorough preparations and will definitely be able to ensure the safety of my family." Shi Lei also understood the meaning of Cheng Yanjin's words, and also nodded solemnly and replied.
