After Li Shimin and Empress Changsun discussed for a day, Li Shimin came to Li Junxian's house. However, Li Shimin came with a few guards and eunuchs. Li Junxian looked at Li Shimin unhurriedly, and Li Junxian didn't know what Li Shimin was doing here. Although Li Junxian can be sure that Li Shimin will not kill himself, there is still a lot that Li Shimin can do!

"Is there anything about Your Majesty coming to the minister's house?" Li Junxian asked.

Li Shimin also sat down and said, "Jun Xian! You and I are also monarchs and ministers, starting from the Xuanwu Gate to seize the heir, and now you have also fought off the Turks for me, I am grateful to you. But it is not me who is loyal to you, and I have nothing to say. ”

Li Shimin suddenly took out a piece of rice paper with words from his pocket, and then took out a small bottle and put it in front of Li Junxian.

"Jun Xian, this is a letter of allegiance. As long as you sign this letter of allegiance and promise to be loyal to me and the Li family, I will not blame you for your previous actions and will be able to reuse you. Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian looked at the letter of allegiance, and the words were jealous and disgusting, which made Li Junxian, a later generation, want to vomit. However, Li Junxian also knew that there was something wrong with this letter of allegiance.

The reason why Li Shimin didn't dare to kill him now was because Li Junxian made it clear that he was loyal to the Chinese people, not Li Shimin. In this way, Li Junxian is equivalent to tying the people of Huaxia to himself, and Li Shimin does not dare to do anything to him. But once this letter of allegiance is signed, in the eyes of those ordinary people, he is a capricious villain, and Li Shimin will not be unhappy when he kills the people of the world, but will say that he killed well. Therefore, Li Junxian immediately recognized the political conspiracy in this so-called allegiance book. If I sign it, I'm afraid my head will really hit the ground.

"Your Majesty, what about the other option?" Li Junxian asked.

Li Shimin pulled out the stopper of the small bottle, and suddenly there was a faint sour smell in the surrounding air, Li Junxian was a little puzzled, this sour smell seemed to be the sour taste of vinegar.

"Jun Xian, this is a bottle of poison. As long as you drink it, you will be able to die peacefully in your sleep without any pain at all. Since you are not willing to be loyal to me, then I can only do that. I will never be able to accept someone who is unwilling to be loyal to me. Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian was shocked, he didn't expect Li Shimin to do this? According to common sense, Li Shimin would never kill himself, but why did he take out poison now? This is very unconscionable. Li Shimin's meaning is obvious, one is to sign the letter of allegiance, and then you can live. And one is to choose this poison, drink it and die immediately.

But Li Junxian has a ninety percent chance that this letter of allegiance is a political trap, and if it is really signed, then I am afraid that my head will fall off. And this so-called poison, that's really weird. Didn't Li Shimin know that killing himself would have a great impact on his reputation? Even the reign of the descendants of the Tang Dynasty will be affected, doesn't Li Shimin know this? Li Shimin is such a smart person, how can he not know?

"What does Li Shimin mean by this?" Li Junxian thought to himself.

Li Junxian didn't guess what this Li Shimin meant for a while, so he sat there a little dazed on the spot. And Li Shimin looked at this situation and immediately spoke.

"Junxian, you choose! Either drink this poison or choose to be loyal to me. Don't look at this poison that tastes like vinegar, but it's really a deadly poison! Li Shimin said this.

Li Junxian suddenly laughed in his heart, he knew that Li Shimin had already said a little more. Li Shimin said that this poison is like vinegar, which reminded Li Junxian of an allusion in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. And Li Shimin's words reminded Li Junxian of this allusion, and Li Junxian was completely relieved.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty in the original history, Li Shimin rewarded the heroes with beautiful women, and Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, also won it. But Mrs. Fang Xuanling didn't do it, Mrs. Fang simply returned these beauties, looking very jealous. And Li Shimin later felt disgraced, so he simply took a bottle of vinegar and told Mrs. Fang that it was poison, and he would either accept her husband's concubine or drink the poison. But Mrs. Fang was also strong enough, so she actually picked up the "poison" and drank it in one gulp.

Li Shimin was speechless when he saw that Mrs. Fang really drank this "poison". Li Shimin was completely convinced of Mrs. Fang, and never mentioned anything about taking a concubine for Fang Xuanling. And Fang Xuanling's wife also left the allusion of "jealousy", which was passed down to future generations. Later generations also used jealousy to describe jealousy.

But Li Junxian smelled the smell of sour vinegar from this bottle of poison, which made Li Junxian a little suspicious. The current situation is also somewhat similar to Mrs. Fang's situation. Mrs. Fang made Li Shimin's face gloomy, and she also made Li Shimin very unhappy, so she did not rule out Li Shimin's idea of using this "poison" to test his beliefs. Mrs. Fang's belief is not to let her husband take a concubine, and her own belief is to be loyal to Huaxia, both of which are the objects of Li Shimin's temptation.

Li Junxian already has a ninety percent possibility in his heart, this so-called poison is a small bottle of vinegar. Li Shimin is testing his beliefs to see if he is loyal to his beliefs. And if he drank this bottle of vinegar, there would be no problem, and Li Shimin would be convinced of himself from then on. On the contrary, Li Junxian is also confident that he can be reused by Li Shimin because he drank this bottle of vinegar. Because Li Shimin, of course, knows that he, a person who is loyal to Huaxia, is worth reusing, and is much more reliable than those who help Li Shimin do things for the sake of fame and fortune.

"But what if there's poison in this vinegar?" Li Junxian thought secretly.

The suspicion in Li Junxian's heart came out, although Li Junxian was ninety percent sure that this was just a simple bottle of vinegar, but after all, there was still a one-tenth chance that there was a poison in it! Li Junxian will not joke with his own life, he is also worried that this vinegar is poisonous in it, so if he drinks it, isn't he going to die? Li Junxian didn't want to die, he was thinking of a way in his heart to avoid the one-tenth possibility.

"Is there any way to avoid this possibility, even if there is poison in it, it can still allow Li Shimin to treat me?" Li Junxian thought secretly.

"Ahh Pregnant! Li Junxian thought excitedly in his heart.
