In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin stood with his hands in his hands, his face was worried, he was thinking about how to deal with the courtiers' reproach to Li Su, how could he not understand the ulterior motives of these ministers.
Since following Li Yuan Taiyuan to raise troops, Li Shimin has been living in all kinds of conspiracies, in order to guard against the enemy, he has always held an independent intelligence agency in his hands - internal guard, and it is this agency that let him know that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the sixth year of Wude put up a Hongmen banquet, in time to escape the disaster of death, before this agency has been in the hands of Du Ruhui, after Du Ruhui died of illness, this agency was handed over by him to the Huangmen squire Wang Qi.
It is also through this institution that he can keep abreast of the movements of the imperial court at any time, and there are also people with internal guards around each of his sons, so he learned that Li Chengqian accepted Chang's bribes, and there is also such a person in Li Su's Liang Wangfu, so even if everyone thinks that Li Su is rebelling, he knows that Li Su is innocent, but the internal guard is not omnipotent after all, and he is not aware of Chang's conspiracy, and he can't come up with any evidence to exonerate Li Su.
"Your Majesty, the sixth prince is here." Wang Jue's voice broke the tranquility of the Ganlu Palace, and Li Shimin temporarily stopped thinking and said, "Let him come in!" ”
After getting Wang Jue's reply, Li Su entered the Ganlu Palace, this time Li Shimin did not review the folds as in the past, but stood in front of the window, looking at the lush elm trees in the courtyard.
"Son-in-law, see father!" Li Su habitually bowed.
Li Shimin waved his hand, "Get up, Li Ke should have told you about the form of the DPRK, what do you think?" ”
Li Shimin asked so directly, there was no need for Li Su to hide it: "Erchen's current guilt is now big or small!" ”
"Big or small? Rebellion is a great crime to kill the head! Li Shimin looked at Li Su sternly.
"Father, do you believe that your sons will rebel?" Li Su said to meet Li Shimin's gaze.
Li Shimin tried his best to find a trace of panic in Li Su's eyes, but what he saw was calm as water, and at this moment, he suddenly had a moment of trance, this Li Su is his son? In the past, Li Su was a person who was trembling with fear when he stared at him, "Father believes in you, but what about the ministers?" The father can't brave the condemnation of the world and leave a prince who can't tell whether he is rebelling or not! ”
"Father, it's not what the ministers believe, but what they are willing to believe, their purpose Father should know better than me, what they want is nothing more than a balance, and I broke this balance, that's why they will chase after me!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Su, who lowered his head, in surprise, and said: "Su'er, you are smarter than I imagined, and my father is also a person from that era, how could I have thought about fighting for this throne back then, if it wasn't for their hard work and forcing me to a dead end, how could I fight in the same room and kill each other!" Speaking of this, Li Shimin's breathing gradually became heavy, and he didn't forget the memory of the blood-stained palace wall of Xuanwu Gate for a day.
After a deep breath, Li Shimin continued: "I set a bad example for you, I have worked hard to balance the power of the crown prince, the king of Wei and Li Ke over the years, as you said, it is you who have broken this balance, these days, my father is also thinking about how to let you get through this crisis, and restore this balance, I can only wronged you after thinking about it!" ”
Li Su's heart lifted, it turned out that Li Shimin had already thought of a countermeasure, and he asked carefully: "Please also ask my father to make it clear!" ”
"Change the title of King Shu, serve as the governor of Yizhou, and you are not allowed to enter Beijing without the emperor's order!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Li Su was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to think the same as he thought, in the history of Zhenguan for ten years, Li Shimin changed the title of Li Su as the king of Shu and led the governor of Yizhou, at that time he didn't like this son, so he beat Li Su far away, and now he is to protect Li Su, but no matter what, Li Su still did not escape the fate of going to the land of Bashu to hang around.
"Are you not satisfied with this decision?" Seeing that Li Su didn't speak, Li Shimin asked.
Li Su was too late to be happy, and hurriedly said: "No! ”
After walking a few steps back and forth, Li Shimin said: "Father and Emperor looked around and felt that this place was suitable, it was too close to Chang'an, they must not be at ease, it was too remote and too wronged for you, and the construction population of Yizhou through the Qin and Han dynasties to the former Sui has increased greatly, and there are 100,000 households in Yizhou City alone, not counting the surrounding fourteen counties." ”
"Moreover, my father has other intentions for letting you go there, Tuyuhun is now eyeing the Tang Dynasty, and the six major tribes in the Erhai region are harassing Yizhou City every year, and last year they even invaded Yizhou City and plundered it, but as soon as the Tang Dynasty's army arrived, they disappeared without a trace, so you have a hard time there! My father asked you to serve as the governor of Yizhou and the military administration of Yizhou, just so that you can run Bashu! ”
Li Su's admiration for Li Shimin has reached another level, but he didn't expect him to have this vision, and in history, Bashu has indeed become the granary of the Tang Dynasty and helped the Tang royal family avoid several crises of national destruction.
"Yes, father, the son will definitely live up to his father's trust!" Li Su said firmly.
Li Shimin nodded: "Don't say anything to you tomorrow morning, my father has already arranged for someone to speak for you, I think they will accept this decision, but after you arrive in Yizhou, it depends on your own life, life or death, it depends on your ability and creation." ”
"Erchen understands!"
"Okay, let's go see your mother, she cried a few times for you, remember to remember it longer in the future, don't be mistaken by beauty again!" Li Shimin blamed.
Li Su felt guilty for a while, he felt most sorry for Concubine Yang, and he had to let him bear the pain of parting.
Leaving the Ganlu Palace, Li Su went to Ziyun Pavilion, after the palace maid reported, Qinghe ran out first, and when he saw Li Su, Qinghe ran all the way and threw himself into Li Su's arms and cried: "Sixth brother, what can I do now?" ”
Li Su patted Qinghe's back and comforted: "Don't cry, the sixth brother is fine, what about the concubine!" ”
Qinghe said: "Mother is worried that you haven't slept well for a few nights, I just comforted her to sleep!" ”
Li Su nodded and pulled Qinghe into the house, he said: "Qinghe, after I leave, you must take good care of your mother, Cheng Huailiang has to take care of this kid, the prince and King Wei can't guarantee that he won't wear small shoes, he has an impulsive personality, and it is inevitable that he will not fall into the trap." ”
"Sixth brother, are you leaving?" Qinghe heard the sound of Li Su's words.
Li Su didn't hide it from her, and said: "That's right, my father knows that I am innocent, but in order to appease the ministers, he can only let me go to Yizhou to serve as the governor of Yizhou!" ”
"Father knows that you are innocent, so what are you afraid of those ministers doing! He's the emperor! I'll go to my father now and ask him to keep you in Chang'an!" Qinghe's tears flowed down again, and he stood up to leave.
Li Su hurriedly pressed her down and said, "Don't mess around, my father is doing this for my good!" ”
Qinghe cried: "But you are obviously innocent......"
Qinghe's crying sadness made Li Su feel distressed, and he was about to comfort Qinghe, when Concubine Yang came out: "Qinghe, your father did the right thing, listen to your sixth brother, don't bother your father, he must not be comfortable!" ”
