As Xie Yi guessed, after receiving the report from Dali Temple, Li Shimin also thought that his eldest son was wronged, and he treated him a little harshly, so he naturally felt a little sorry in his heart, and even planned how to compensate his eldest son.

At this time, the East Palace came to invite, and the son wanted to set up a sacrifice to mourn Wei Zheng and invite himself to participate. Li Shimin is very pleased with this, which shows that his son is indeed reforming, and he has begun to become affectionate and righteous, and he has begun to understand Entu. Even if it's just for show, it's a good and effective means, which is conducive to reshaping the shape of the East Palace, which can be regarded as a good thing.

This is a situation that Li Shimin wants to see very much, and he is very happy, he feels that it should be encouraged, and it is an activity to commemorate Wei Zheng, and it seems that he should come out of his own way. Therefore, the great Majesty Li Er was very relaxed, and he didn't think much about being well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and the eldest son who had high hopes would have the heart of rebellion, and only brought a few attendants into the East Palace.

The altar has been set up, although it is not so in line with the etiquette system to set up a memorial service in places such as the East Palace, but in view of the relationship between Wei Zheng's identity and the East Palace, it is reasonable, and no one will speak out against or make irresponsible remarks out of place.

When Li Shimin came, the altar had already been set up, and some mages invited from the Taishi Bureau were already performing prayer ceremonies. Seeing this scene, Li Shimin nodded lightly, Li Chengqian's move was much stronger than imitating the grassland leader and engaging in those Hu people's tricks before.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Li Chengqian limped out in a hurry and came to meet Li Shimin.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin nodded slightly, and his expression eased a lot.

"There is Lao Father, today the sons and daughters set up a sacrifice to mourn Master Wei, thinking that the father and the emperor have a lot of nostalgia for Master Wei, and the monarch and the minister complement each other, so I dare to invite my father to come." Li Chengqian was polite. swept away the previous decadence, as if he had completely recovered the original widely praised young prince and returned.

Li Shimin nodded lightly and said: "It's okay, Wei Xuancheng has contributed to the country, to you and my father and son, and he should be mourned." ”

"Yes, Father, please!" Li Chengqian politely invited Li Shimin to sit down. Waiting for the subsequent incense to mourn, and then looking beyond the palace walls, intentionally or unintentionally.

While waiting, the guards suddenly came to report: "Princess Jinyang has arrived!" ”

Li Chengqian was slightly surprised, but he said with a look as usual: "Please!" ”

"This kid asked her to sort out the case in Chengqing Palace, but she came to the East Palace to join in the fun." Li Shimin laughed, and his words were full of doting on his daughter.

"It's rare for Jinyang's sister to come to the East Palace to play, and it's too late for the sons to be happy, so don't blame her!" Li Chengqian smiled lightly. Show the demeanor of the eldest brother.

"Well, just don't let her mess with the ritual, I'll let her go to the Su family first and see the elephant!"

"Yes!"

When Li Shiming and Li Chengqian were talking, Princess Jinyang came over, and the accompanying palace maid carried a basket in her hand, and said with a smile: "See my father, the emperor!" ”

"Son, come here!" Li Chengqian was full of smiles and doted on this youngest sister.

Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang said unhurriedly: "Brother Huang, don't worry. Wei Niangniang prepared some sacrifices, saying that they were prepared for Wei Sikong after surrogate motherhood. Let me send it over. ”

Empress Changsun once begged for mercy to protect Wei Zheng, which can be regarded as somewhat related, and it is reasonable for Wei Guifei to prepare sacrifices instead of Empress Changsun to show her virtue. Li Chengqian saw it in his eyes, and he thought that Wei Guifei was inviting favor to his father in this way.

"The concubine has a heart!" Li Shimin replied lightly, his expression slightly cold. I don't know if I remembered the eldest grandson queen.

Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, said very obediently that the basket was lifted, handed it to Li Chengqian, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, today is your sacrifice for Wei Sikong, so you will present it to your mother!" ”

"Oh. Good! Li Chengqian, who was somewhat absent-minded, had no choice but to agree, and he really had no reason to refuse this matter.

When Li Chengqian turned around and walked towards the altar with the basket, Li Mingda threw himself into Li Shimin's arms with a smile, and the youngest and most favored princess seemed to be coquettish.

"Son, pay attention to the occasion, today is a sacrifice for Wei Qing, be more solemn!" Li Shimin frowned slightly and reminded.

Li Mingda didn't care about it, he still threw himself into Li Shimin's arms, and stopped his neck, with a coquettish face, but said in Li Shimin's ear in an extremely calm voice: "Father, I heard from my son, the prince and brother want to rebel, and it will be unfavorable to my father." ”

What the?

Li Shimin's heart shook violently, and when his body and expression were subconsciously about to react, Li Mingda deliberately giggled, and increased his coquettish movements, so as not to be noticed by the East Palace.

"Father Emperor Mo Anxious, Sun Fujia and Xie Yi brought evidence, although Li You and Yin Hongzhi are lying, but Su Gan Chengji has admitted that the East Palace is plotting a mutiny and wants to kill the monarch and kill his father."

When he heard this, especially the last four words, Li Shiming's body couldn't stand shaking slightly, and he subconsciously held his daughter's hand, and an imperial heart was in the midst of stormy waves. As for whether he was worried about his own safety, or was shocked and sad because of his son's behavior.

Li Mingda continued: "Zuo Tunwei's rebellious soldiers and horses may arrive soon, Sun Fujia has already gone to inform the prime minister, and his daughter has the courage to copy her father's edict, and asked Xie Changshi to go to Zuo Wuwei to find General Cheng Zhijie to save him, and ask his father to forgive him." ”

Li Shimin heard it clearly, and he was convinced of his youngest daughter's words, the arrival of Princess Jinyang was actually abnormal. Recently, she has rarely been coquettish, but the more and more ladylike little daughter threw herself into her arms, and it is unreasonable to be coquettish like this. And she seemed to be calm, but when she held her little hand, she realized that she was already sweating, and she was obviously very nervous.

In this way, it should not be wrong, although the eldest son was wronged, he didn't seem to believe that he would return his innocence, so he took such drastic measures and made a desperate bet.

Li Shimin fully understands this line of thought, and he doesn't think it's strange, he was like this when the Xuanwu Gate changed. It's just that I didn't expect my son to have such courage and determination, I really underestimated him in the past, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Today, he rushed into the East Palace and was indeed in danger, and Li Anyan of Zuo Tunwei was close to Du He and the prince, and he knew it. If Li Chengqian mutinied, he would inevitably mobilize this army of troops.

Li Shimin has clearly realized the fact that when Zuo Tunwei's soldiers and horses arrive, the eldest son will do it to himself.

It's sad to think about. He almost died at the hands of his son.

But fortunately, Xie Yi and Sun Fujia noticed the abnormality in time, and their daughter Li Mingda should have been mentioned or assigned by Xie Yi when she came here, and it is rare for the youngest daughter to be so calm.

It's right to inform the political affairs hall, if Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Cen Wenwen and others don't know about such a major event, they will definitely not be able to. It's just that what will they do? It's hard to say what will happen in the end.

What really surprised Li Shimin was the mobilization of the Left Guards. Although Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, kept saying that she had forged the edict, this proposition must have come from Xie Yi, this kid is really bold.

The daughter's handwriting is similar to her own, and she originally just thought it was fun, but who knew that it would have such a significant impact. It happened to be in the Chengqing Hall again, where there was a seal...... Everything is logical, Cheng Zhijie will naturally obey the edict when he sees it, and it will be good if they come to the rescue.

But if Xie Yi took the opportunity to do something else. The news that Donggong is going to rebel also comes from him, will there be fraud in this? For a time, many years and many terrible thoughts floated in Li Shimin's mind.

But because of his own negligence and coincidence, things are completely out of his control......

There was no extra time to think, Li Chengqian had already returned, and Li Shimin's expression instantly returned to normal. It's as if nothing happened, and I'm still talking and laughing with my daughter. It's like a father's feelings, and the joy of family. Then taking advantage of the moment when he turned his back on Li Chengqian, he handed the color to the old eunuch on the side without a trace.

Then Li Shimin got up and said: "Cheng Qian, I will go to pay tribute, and I have to go back to deal with government affairs after I am done, Goryeo has not been very peaceful recently." repeatedly provoked in Liaodong, and had to go back to discuss countermeasures with the prime minister and the military department.

At dinner, I will set up a banquet in the palace, and when the time comes, you will bring Su and Xiang'er together, and then call Qingque and childish slaves. Let's have a meal together as a family. ”

Li Shimin's remarks are naturally to leave the East Palace as soon as possible, if he can get out, everything will be under his control, and no matter what the situation is, there will be no big mess.

Li Chengqian was slightly stunned, but this statement seemed to be reasonable, and he also released enough signals of goodwill to himself. To know that you have not been allowed to enter the Taiji Palace for a long time, let alone eat as a family, this is undoubtedly a signal of regaining favor.

For a moment, Li Chengqian was also a little hesitant, but when he heard Li Shimin mention the names of Li Tai and Li Zhi, a cold light flashed in his heart. It's hard to be ruthless, and there is such an extraordinarily rare opportunity today, if you miss it......

Even if the crisis is lifted now, then in the future, can Li Tai allow himself to sit in the East Palace safely? As long as his father does not die for a day, his status and net worth will always be in danger.

So there seems to be no other choice than to go his own way according to the original plan, and Zuo Tunwei's soldiers and horses have now begun to move, and the arrow is off the string, and it is impossible to regret it.

Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Father, it's rare that you and your son-in-law and sister are here today, the Su family is already preparing dinner, can you and your son-in-law stay for dinner?" I miss you for the sake of the elephant and miss you too. ”

For Li Shimin, this was actually a process of temptation, and Li Chengqian's refusal to some extent showed that the matter was indeed a problem. Even if Li Chengqian simply wanted to keep his father for dinner, Li Shimin couldn't believe it now, and the idea of layers of conspiracies and chills involuntarily floated in the heart of the God King.

The reality is always cruel, and it did not leave Li Shimin's father and son a moment of false grievances, let alone give them faint expectations, and even a deep father-son relationship.

When a figure appeared on the steps of the East Palace, everything suddenly became extremely cold, and all the warmth was gone. Hou Junji came, he came with a sword in armor, walked directly to the bottom of the steps quickly, knelt on the ground and said: "See Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Hou Junji!" Li Shimin's face changed slightly, he probably didn't expect Hou Junji to be involved, not only his son, but even the most trusted general also gave birth to two hearts.

By this time, Li Chengqian was already a little breathless, and pretended to say: "Hou Junji, what happened?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Tai, the King of Wei, plotted a rebellion against the mutiny, intending to assassinate His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and the ministers led Zuotun Wei Duhe and Li Anyan's troops to escort him!"

As soon as Hou Junji's words came out, it was equivalent to completely tearing his face, and the last layer of fig leaf was gone. Li Shimin heard it clearly, he had confirmed that what his daughter said was right, and the East Palace had reversed. As for the so-called rebellion by Li Tai, it is just an excuse, and the charge of killing the monarch and killing his father afterwards will be pushed on Li Tai's head.

Li Shimin, who experienced the change of Xuanwumen, knew very well that after killing the monarch and killing his father, he raised a butcher's knife against his brother. Thinking about it this way, the safety of more than a dozen of his sons is really worrying......

The eldest son, who is messing around on weekdays, and even some cowardly, has become so ruthless and even vicious at this moment, he really knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart!

Li Shimin felt a little remorseful and blamed himself, it was obvious that he was a little careless, and he looked at people on weekdays.

So far......

"Blue Sparrow rebellion? Cheng Qian, is that really the case? Li Shimin's voice was low, but he was still calm.

Li Chengqian turned around, the pious look on his face had disappeared, replaced by a cold and quiet one, and only heard him say: "That's true, the son-in-law has just received the news that Li Tai intends to murder his father and son-in-law, so he urgently asked the Duke of Lu to come and escort him." ”

"Hmph, that's good!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Then did you notify the Ministry of War and the Provincial Government?" ”

"It's too late, Zuo Tunwei is relatively close to here, so the sons make their own decisions, first ensure the safety of their father, and then talk about ......it" Li Chengqian's expression became completely gloomy, and his tone was much colder.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Cheng Qian, I didn't expect it, it turns out that you still have such a decisive and powerful side, why didn't you show it before, otherwise why would I bother...... But it's not in vain, you've finally made some progress. ”

"I disappointed my father, my son really deserves death!" Li Chengqian also seemed to notice the abnormality and began to become more cautious.

"I'm a little disappointed, disappointed why you didn't grow up earlier, disappointed why you didn't put your mind in the right place after you grew up, but used it to count your father and your brother." At this point, Li Shiming has nothing to scruple about, so he simply picks it out directly.

"Father's words are serious, it is Li Tai who is aggressive, and intends to be unfavorable to the East Palace, to you and the Tang Dynasty, and the sons are just to protect themselves and protect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian has understood that these tricks are naturally impossible to hide from his father, but his words are still high-sounding. (To be continued.) )
