Chapter 383: The Greatest Pain

Hou Junji said to the crown prince Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the prince is in this hall, to deal with the emperor, the minister immediately went to the side hall, ordered the army to prepare, control the emperor in one fell swoop, and help His Royal Highness the prince to ascend the throne."

Prince Chengqian reluctantly pulled Hou Junji's sleeve.

Hou Junji said to the crown prince Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness the prince, now we and the emperor have reached the point of life and death. Your Highness, you are a man, you must be tough at this time, and you must not admit (cong) in front of the emperor. The East Palace has been completely controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness, your heart must be ruthless. ”

The prince Chengqian responded, but there was still no confidence in his voice.

Hou Junji and the others left the main hall, leaving only the crown prince Chengqian alone, and the palace lamp stretched Chengqian's shadow long and threw it to the floor in the main hall, and everyone could see that the weak figure was trembling.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and the figure of Prince Chengqian was trembling more and more.

The door to the East Palace creaked open.

Li Shimin walked very slowly, his steps were heavy, and his face had never been as haggard as he was today, and he approached Prince Chengqian.

Walking to the center of the main hall, Li Shimin looked at the trembling prince Chengqian. Li Shimin's eyes were full of sadness, and the softest part of his heart seemed to be pinched hard, and it was extremely painful.

A fear seemed to rise from the spinal cord, making the crown prince Chengqian breathless, and he involuntarily and subconsciously bowed to Li Shimin and said: "The son of the emperor to see his father, long live the father, long live the emperor." ”

Li Shimin asked coldly, "Prince, aren't you sick?" ”

Prince Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what Hou Junji said to him when he left. The crown prince bowed his back, gradually straightened up, he pointed to his heart, amplified his voice, and said in a tone that he felt unfamiliar: "Yes, I am sick." I've been sick here, I've been sick for years. ”

Li Shimin said to the crown prince Chengqian: "I can hear that you have a deep resentment hidden in your heart. ”

The crown prince Chengqian said fiercely: "Resentment, do you dare to do it?" You are Jun. I am a minister; You are the Father, and I am the Son. Whatever you do to me, isn't it all right? ”

Li Shimin looked at Prince Chengqian in surprise, he didn't expect Prince Chengqian, who had always been submissive, to talk to him so hardly. Li Shimin said in disbelief: "You are full of anger when you speak today!" But I'm going to tell you. My Datang has been established for 27 years, and today's prosperity is the result of thousands of Datang people with their lives and blood, and no one can shake it! I advise you, it's better not to take risks, although my Datang is big, there is absolutely no place for rebels. ”

Prince Chengqian didn't say a word.

Fang Xuanling bowed to Prince Chengqian anxiously, and said with anxiety: "Your Highness, there is an abyss ahead. Your Highness, don't go any further. ”

After that, Fang Xuanling was already in tears.

Prince Chengqian glanced at Fang Xuanling, who was begging for himself and had always cared about him. There was a burst of oozing laughter, and then he said with a crying face: "Fang Xiang, you let me quit?" Do I have a way back? ”

As he spoke, Prince Chengqian pointed to the chair he usually sat on in the middle of the hall, and said hysterically to Li Shimin: "Father, you have also sat on this chair that symbolizes the identity of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but you have not been a real prince for a day. When you sat on this chair, although you were nominally the crown prince, the emperor had already been imprisoned by you. In the name of the crown prince, you are acting as an emperor. It can be said that until today, you don't know how difficult it is for this Tang prince to do? How bitter? How painful is it? ”

Li Shimin glanced at the somewhat old chair that symbolized the position of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Prince Chengqian continued to vent: "I have been the prince of the Tang Dynasty for seventeen years. Do you know how I got through it? To be a prince of the Tang Dynasty, you must not only show the perseverance of a man, but also swallow your anger like the most humble slave and restrain yourself. Suffering from both ice and fire, even so, it will not necessarily end well. It's been seventeen years. Seventeen years, do you know how I survived? Every day I live in fear, trembling, even in my sleep, I wake up scared. Gradually, these fears became resentment, and I was filled with deep resentment towards a person. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been so afraid, so afraid. ”

Li Shimin asked, "Who are you resenting?" ”

Prince Chengqian raised his hand, pointed at Li Shimin and said, "You! ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and asked with surprise: "I? ”

Prince Chengqian almost shouted: "Yes, it's you!" When you first canonized me as the crown prince, you praised me for being smart and generous, and having the style of a prince, but why did I fall day by day and become the unsuccessful person I am now? You can find a thousand reasons to explain it, but I know in my heart that there is only one fundamental reason, and that is that there is a huge Y shadow that hangs over me. That huge Y shadow is you. ”

Li Shimin felt amused and said, "I, I will be your Y shadow?" I expect more from you than any other prince, to give you the best resources, to prepare the best master for you, and to create all kinds of best opportunities for you to gain experience? I'll be your Y shadow, big joke. ”

Prince Chengqian shook his head vigorously, and said with a serious face: "This is not a joke, this is a fact.

Father, you were born in troubled times, and with a long lance, you laid down the Tang Dynasty and created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. The brilliance of your body is enough to put any emperor in history to shame, and it can be called a peak of heaven. But everyone, including yourself, is using this mountain as a yardstick to measure me. Have you thought about it, can I afford it? ”

Li Shimin, Li Xuan, and Fang Xuanling were all stunned.

Prince Chengqian continued: "What is even more hateful are those younger brothers of mine. First of all, Li Ke, the king of Shu, recruited troops everywhere, actively expanded his strength, and threatened my position as the prince; Immediately after that, the even more hateful King of Wei, Li Tai, was full of henchmen in the court, snatching open and secret arrows, hollowing out his minds, and sending his sons to the opposite road*, dreaming every day that he wanted to take away my position as the prince and take it for himself. Above is my father who is gradually losing trust in me, and below is my brother with a ghost, I am caught in the middle, you say, what do you want me to do? And all of this, all the roots, is because of you. ”

As he spoke, Prince Chengqian pointed his hand at Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin said suspiciously: "Is it because of me again?" (To be continued.) )
