"Bastard! Brute! Li Shimin slammed the fold in his hand to the table, his whole body was trembling slightly, and his originally resolute face was full of hideousness, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.

Several civil and military ministers in the Liangyi Hall saw Li Shimin's angry appearance, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent, if there were other things, they still had room to speak, but this matter was related to the royal family, so people like Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and others all looked at their noses and noses, like old monks.

However, not everyone is as calm as Li Jing and Fang Xuanling, only to see a few important ministers stand up and say loudly with a black face: "Your Majesty, Quan Wanji was originally a person sent by His Majesty to teach the King of Shu, although it is called Changshi, but it is no different from the teacher, Li You, the King of Shu, is bold and reckless, and even intends to attack and kill him, it is really a fatherless and kingless move, please Your Majesty must be punished!" ”

The one who stood up and spoke was a thin old man, stubborn and upright, and he didn't flinch at all because this matter involved the royal family, the entire Tang Dynasty had such courage and dared to speak out, and there was no second person except Wei Zheng.

Li Shimin was already on fire, and his whole face was blue, but now when he heard Wei Zheng's words asking for strict punishment of his son, his face had turned blue and black, and his two sword eyebrows stood up, and the whole person was already extremely angry. It's just that even Li Shimin himself doesn't know whether he is angry with his son and not angry, or angry at Wei Zheng and not giving face?

In fact, it is no wonder that Li Shimin is so angry, the Tang Dynasty was thriving, and the foreign conquest was also invincible, not only personally destroyed Goguryeo, but also his son Li Su also destroyed Silla and Baekje, and the news spread to Chang'an. made Li Shimin feel happier than destroying Goguryeo himself. In addition, the northern grasslands, a major calamity, have also found a way to restrain themselves, as long as the cement roads and fortresses are persistently repaired. Then there is only one fate waiting for the grassland Hu people, that is, to completely integrate into the Tang Dynasty. There is no longer the ability to rebel.

However, as the so-called life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, Li Shimin is proud of state affairs, but he has endless troubles in family affairs, the most important thing is that the two sons Li Chengqian and Li Tai are secretly competing for the position, and the two of them are getting bigger and bigger, almost to the point of tearing their faces, for this matter, Li Shimin, as a father, does not know what to do, and emotionally he prefers Li Tai. But intellectually he is biased towards Li Chengqian, so he has always turned a blind eye to this matter, as long as the two sons don't make too much trouble, he shouldn't have seen it.

However, Li Shimin's attention was only on Chang'an's two sons, but he forgot that there was another son who was even more uneasy, of course, this son was not Li Su, but Li You, the king of Shu who was a little older than Li Su.

Speaking of Li You, he made Li Yu miserable. With the help of the kidnapping of Wu Meiniang, Li You was almost sent to Yizhou by Li Shimin, not only sent a long history Quan Wanji to supervise what he did, but also deprived him of the command of the palace guards. sent a school captain, Wei Wenzhen, to serve as the pawn of the Shu Palace, and manage the soldiers and horses of the palace on behalf of Li You.

For this arrangement. Li You is naturally very dissatisfied, especially for the long history of Quan Wanji. is even more resentful, mainly because of Quan Wanji's hard character. blamed Li You at every turn, and even the two often quarreled, which directly led to a very bad relationship between the two.

Regarding Quan Wanji's control over himself, Li You, as the prince, of course had to fight back, and he secretly sent someone to sue Quan Wanji in front of Li Shimin, which probably means that the other party does not respect him and is very arbitrary. Although Li Shimin didn't like Li You, the other party was also his son after all, so Li Shimin sent someone to investigate, and then asked the two to return to Chang'an, intending to confront them face to face.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Li You was so bold that he actually sent someone to attack Quan Wanji on the way, but fortunately, Wei Wenzhen, who was the official army of the royal palace, learned in advance and immediately sent troops to save Quan Wanji.

It is said that although Li You's matter is serious, at least Quan Wanji is not dead, with Li You's identity, as long as he takes the initiative to admit his mistake to Li Shimin, at most he will be severely punished, and he may be locked up for a few years, at least he will not worry about his life.

But the bad thing is that the villains around Li You are bad, these people know that Li You has made such a big mistake, although he himself will be fine, but the people around them will definitely not escape death, so they instigated Li You to rebel, and Li You is also a fool, as soon as his brain is hot, the temper of two hundred and five came up, and he even rebelled with a group of cronies.

It's a pity that Li You, a fool, soon found out that even the personal soldiers of the palace were not in his control, and there were only a few hundred cronies who were willing to rebel with him, but his farce-like rebellion did not last for two days, and he was exterminated by the personal soldiers of the Shu Wangfu plus the local garrison, and even Li You was captured alive, and is now on his way to Chang'an.

Li You's rebellion is similar to the original history, but it also uses some changes, such as the split body of Quan Wanji escaped with his life, Li You's rebellion is much smaller, and he has been captured alive without using a large army at all, which can be said to be even worse than in history.

However, when the news of Li You's rebellion reached Chang'an, the above scene happened, Li Shimin was furious about it, and Wei Zheng demanded that Li You be severely punished, as for how to punish him severely, it is very simple, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, rebellion is a capital crime, and it is the kind of death that is unforgivable, even if he is the prince.

As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, although Li Shimin does not like Li You, but the other party is his son after all, and he has always been a short-term protector, so he does not want to execute Li You according to the law. It was with this idea in mind that Li Shimin did not talk to Wei Zheng's words, but diverted the topic and said: "Where has that rebel been now, and when can he reach Chang'an?" ”

Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin ignored him, and just wanted to give him a direct advice again, but Fang Xuanling in front hurriedly came out to interrupt him and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Shu is already on his way to escort Chang'an, and now he has arrived in Liangzhou, I believe that he will be able to reach Chang'an in two days." ”

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and just wanted to ask other people's opinions again, but suddenly saw Wei Zheng in the back bypassing Fang Xuanling and preparing to give another direct advice, which made Li Shimin very helpless, so he had to preemptively say: "All of you Aiqing are all entangled in official business, let's stop here today, retreat from the dynasty!" ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and left the Liangyi Palace, not giving Wei Zheng a chance to speak at all. And Wei Zheng was also angry, but he was not a person who gave up easily, and left the Liangyi Hall quickly with a flick of his robe sleeves, intending to write his opinions into a recital, and then play it directly when he arrived at the court meeting.

Two days later, Li You was escorted to Chang'an, but it was a coincidence that Li Su's letter to Li Shimin was also sent to Chang'an at the same time, but the two sons brought Li Shimin two completely different feelings.

In the imperial study on the right side of the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin only summoned three henchmen here, namely Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, and the eldest grandson Wuji. It's just that today Li Shimin sat behind the bookcase with a complicated face, and there were two things on the bookcase, which were Li Yu's letter asking for permission for him to recruit the grassland Hu people, and Wei Zheng's request to punish Li You again.

Wei Zheng is a dead eye, as long as he believes in something, he must do it, so the impeachment of Li You was finally played in front of the court, and his move was also supported by many upright officials, after all, Li You was originally a bold and reckless person, and now he has committed a rebellious felony, so naturally many people want to bring him to justice.

"They are also my sons, but why does this cruelty make me so uneasy?" Li Shimin slapped Wei Zheng's fold and roared with a sad face.

Seeing Li Shimin's painful expression, the three of Fang Xuanling below all sighed, Li Su is Li Shimin's most valued son, and he is also the most ambitious person among the princes, with the support of the Tang Dynasty and his own intelligence, he has opened up the situation overseas, not only easily occupied Silla and Baekje, but also occupied the big island of Liuqiu, and the business is very prosperous, and now he is ready to do something against the Japanese state, such an outstanding act, even Li Shimin asked himself if he was replaced by himself, he may not be able to do so well.

But compared to the outstanding Li Su, Li You is simply a pile of useless garbage, usually brave and ruthless, hunting excessively, but he even dared to attack and kill the long history designated by His Majesty, and afterwards he rebelled, although this rebellion became a joke, but it was also heinous, the court has been noisy for his business, and Li Shimin has not slept well for a few days.

"Your Majesty is angry, the matter has happened, and it will be useless to scold the King of Shu again, it is better to come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible!" The eldest grandson, Wuji, who had the best relationship with Li Shimin, spoke.

"Humph! What else can be done, this beast is so kingless and fatherless, then I should not have his son, and just act according to the law! Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said angrily. However, the three people below all knew that these were Li Shimin's angry words, and they couldn't be done at all.

"Your Majesty, no matter how the King of Shu is not, he is also the prince of my Tang Dynasty, and he is also deceived by traitors, and he doesn't really want to rebel, so Weichen thinks that the person who bewitches the rebellion of the King of Shu can be put to death, and as for His Royal Highness the King of Shu, he will take away his title and let him no longer do evil!" The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth and said again. He knew Li Shimin's temper very well and knew that the other party didn't want to kill his son, so he said so.

However, after hearing this, Li Jing shook his head and said: "Although Lord Changsun's words are correct, but after all, the King of Shu is the main culprit of the rebellion, if he only deals with accomplices, I am afraid that it will cause Wei Zheng's dissatisfaction, and if he stabs the matter in the newspaper, it will be a big deal." ”

Li Jing's words gave Li Shimin a wake-up call, because Li You was arrested as soon as he rebelled, so he knew very little, and now the newspaper has not received the news, and Li Shimin has already ordered that the news be completely blocked, but there is no impermeable wall in this world, and the news of Li You's rebellion will spread sooner or later, so Li Shimin must decide to punish Li You before this.

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister has a way to get the best of both worlds, but this method has been helped by His Royal Highness King Qi!" At this moment, Fang Xuanling, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and a strange smile flashed on his face. (To be continued.) )
