Ninchi Hall.

Li Jiancheng was dressed in cloth and plain clothes, kneeling alone in front of Li Yuan.

In the face of the current dead end, Li Jiancheng finally chose the wisest decision and went up the mountain alone to play the family card. While weeping bitterly, he also threw himself to the ground to be innocent.

Li Yuan is always Li Yuan.

That brainless calf protector Li Yuan.

When meeting Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan specially asked his henchman Pei Lin to go to the bottom of the mountain to interrogate Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, Zhao Hongzhi and others, in Li Yuan's original words, "Which thief instigated the idea of recruiting troops to make trouble!" ”

This is a clear sentence, which is enough to prove that Li Yuan still wants to protect this son who intends to rebel.

There is no one else in the entire Renzhi Hall except Zhang Zhong: Zhang Zhong was the old head of Li Yuan's family when he was the Duke of Tang. Taiyuan raised troops, Zhang Zhongfu served the old master all the way down, and the accumulated military merits had already been taken off. However, because he was well aware of Li Yuan's living habits, Li Yuan also ignored the courtiers' resignations, and ordered him to be the middle eunuch of the Sanpin Palace, the chief leader of Shangyi and Shangshi, and still serve as the butler who served the emperor.

For Zhang Zhong, Li Yuan trusted him more than his old friend Pei Lian.

Li Jiancheng's voice was hoarse, and he also cried, "My father is high, and I don't know if my son is depressed." Although Erchen is the crown prince, he is like walking on thin ice on the edge of the abyss, eating day and night, and he can't sleep...... Every time I think of my second brother, I have the world's soldiers and horses, but I, a prince, have no military heart......"

"Ridiculous!" When Li Yuan heard this, he was furious: "As the crown prince, you are afraid of your fellow brother and don't know how to eat it. Can't sleep? What a ridiculous reason this is. ”

Li Jiancheng also seemed to be too frightened, and there was no movement for a long time, but he knelt down for a moment and climbed forward half a step. seemed to pluck up the courage to say: "That's just my father's opinion, and now there are rumors around Chang'an that when the queen mother gave birth to Erlang in Guanzhong martial arts twenty-six years ago, there were two dragons outside the hall, and they went for three days." When the second brother was four years old, another god came to meet him, saying that the second brother has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and he will be able to help the world and the people when he grows up. Hence the name Shimin ......"

Li Yuan was stunned for a while, and then laughed out loud: "It's ridiculous, you were ten years old when Erlang was born. You can't forget it. That year was the afternoon of December in the seventeenth year of Emperor Wen's reign, and the Li family annex was frozen at that time, and the road was closed by heavy snow. Except for the old yellow dog at the door. None of the cattle came from a single double dragon. As for Shimin, the name is indeed taken from the meaning of helping the world and the people, but that is your mother's little expectation of her son. As for the appearance of the dragon and phoenix, it is even more ridiculous. Erlang was naughty when he was a child, but when he didn't crawl one day, he was as dirty as a little beggar. As the eldest brother, you watched Erlang grow up, would you believe this? ”

"Erchen really doesn't believe it!" Li Jiancheng said angrily: "But has my father ever thought about it?" Why can such a ridiculous rumor be widely circulated in Beijing? ”

Li Yuan was stunned.

Li Jiancheng kowtowed: "There are many words. Erchen really didn't vomit or be unhappy. The second brother has made great achievements in the world, and his prestige has long surpassed that of my eldest brother. His father favored him even more, General Tiance, Taiwei, Situ, Shang Shuling, Shaanxi East Dao Daxingtai, Yizhou Dao Xingtai Shang Shuling, Yongzhou Mu, Liangzhou Governor, and Twelve Wei Generals. is not only the first leader of the military attaché, but also the first leader of the civilian official, but also in charge of the country's conquest, holding the power of the world's soldiers and horses. From ancient times to the present, except for Cao Cao, Sima Zhao and other powerful ministers and thieves who have power all over the world, who has such power? ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng in a daze, and said disappointedly: "In your eyes, Erlang is a rebellious minister and thief like Cao Cao and Sima Zhao?" ”

"Naturally not!" Li Jiancheng said categorically: "But people's words are terrible, and people's hearts are terrible." As a prince, who doesn't want to be the crown prince from ancient times to the present? What's more, the second brother is eloquent and ambitious. He has experienced a hundred battles, and there are hundreds of tiger generals under his command who are willing to die for him. Later, the literature museum was created, and the world called it 'entering the literature museum as Dengyingzhou', which caused the literati in Shandong and Jiangzuo to become inflammatory, such as the carp crossing the river. Let's ask who doesn't want to sit on the dragon's merits, who doesn't want to become the Son of Heaven's close attendant in order to jump over the dragon gate. Who can guarantee that the second brother who holds the power of the world can withstand the temptation of the villain's persuasion? Does the father really dare to say that the second brother has no heart to fight? ”

Li Yuan was dumbfounded again, as the emperor, in charge of the helm of the world, no one understood the allure of this power better than him.

After being silent for a moment, Li Yuan suddenly laughed angrily: "Look at you, you are vibrating, or is it wrong with your father?" ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Erchen never dared to have this thought, but he has been persecuted hard all these years, because the second brother is powerful, and the monarch does not live up to his ...... I couldn't help but listen to the provocation of my subordinates, thinking that if I had more soldiers and horses in my hands, I could better resist the Turks on one side, and on the other hand, I could also be transferred in to resist if there was something in Beijing...... Other than that, Erchen had no idea. The sons also knew that these alone were enough to be executed, so they asked their father to surrender...... Sent down, the sons deserve their crimes without complaint or regret. But if he killed the king and rebelled, he succumbed to death and did not dare to admit this crime! ”

Li Jiancheng collapsed to the ground after saying this, and his body trembled.

Li Yuan looked at his eldest son, who was the most reassuring, and said a thousand words, only to change to his father's body and sighed: "Childish! Stupidity! ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, his heart fell to the ground.

"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the heavier the status, the greater the responsibility. And what have you done, mess up? Recruit private soldiers? Thousands of dead soldiers, what can they do? What's even funnier is that the person you picked out to do the work went directly to your father. You let your father ...... How can you rest assured that this splendid river and mountain, hundreds of millions of people, will be handed over to you......"

After a pause, Li Yuan waved his long sleeves and said, "Come on, press the prince down...... Zhang Zhong, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the prince, only giving him coarse food and water, and keeping him from dying. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Zhong respectfully came to Li Jiancheng's side and said calmly: "Prince, please." ”

Li Jiancheng walked down in despair.

Li Yuan was the only one in the lonely hall, looking up at the exquisite roof, a feeling of loneliness poured out, and he said in his heart: "Seamless, seamless!" Erlang, what a good means......"

After being silent for a while, Li Yuan wanted to call Pei Lin and Feng Deyi to come to discuss the matter, but thinking that the two of them had been arranged to interrogate Li Yuan's strategists, he shouted to the outside world: "Come on, go and invite Pingyang and Luo Shixin." ”

"Father!" Pingyang arrived first, "How is the eldest brother?" ”

Li Yuan looked at Pingyang, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen, with a worried face, and in this case, he showed a rare smile: "Don't worry, although your eldest brother is confused and has done stupid things, my father believes that he will never commit murder and rebellion, and will give him a clean slate." It's just that he's too stupid, teach him a lesson. ”

While he was talking, Luo Shixin also rushed over.

"I don't believe that the prince is rebelling, and this bell must be tied to the bell. Only by letting the crown prince and Yang Wengan face to face can they prove the facts with facts. I want to send an envoy to recruit Yang Wengan here, in order to avoid suspicion, it is best to avoid people who are close to the King of Qin, do you have a good candidate? ”

Luo Shixin thought for a moment and said: "Si Nongqing Yu Wenying has a close relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and it should be a choice to be friendly with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, Yu Wenying was also the minister he trusted, and immediately smiled: "It's really old and confused, I actually forgot about him." ”

At that moment, Li Yuan invited Yu Wenying and asked him to invite Yang Wengan non-stop.

At this time, at the foot of the mountain, a scene of sacrificing one's life and the Savior was also being staged.

The crown prince Zhongyun Wang Jue, the first adviser of Li Jiancheng, knelt down in front of Pei Lin and Feng Deyi, and said loudly: "As an official of the East Palace, the minister failed to fulfill his responsibility of picking up the missing and making up for the mistakes, so that the prince should die for this mistake." Please Pei Lao and Feng Lao tell His Majesty that the prince only has the fault of negligence, and it is the minister's carelessness, so that the big mistake is caused, and I wish to subdue the law to His Majesty, and never affect the prince. ”

Corporal Li Jiancheng Lixian also has a Cunzài who is willing to shed his blood for him. Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, and Zhao Hongzhi were among them the most loyal to Li Jiancheng.

One by one, like Wang Qi, bowed his head and confessed his guilt, willing to bear the fault for Li Jiancheng.

Pei Lin and Feng Deyi nodded with satisfaction with each other, secretly glad in their hearts, fortunately, there were some loyal people in the East Palace, but their worries were alleviated.

Li Yuan sent them to come and said a lot of things, but one "found out the instigator", indicating that he was completely full of a desire to protect his son and want to take the foreign minister to blame.

Pei Lin and Feng Deyi are cunning and cunning, how can they not hear it.

They have a good relationship with the East Palace, if the East Palace is not interesting one by one, let them arrest one and ask them to be guilty, and they really don't know how to choose. Now that everyone is willing to apologize for Li Jiancheng, their task is much easier.

Wang Qi, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, and Zhao Hongzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, and being able to apologize for Li Jiancheng means that Li Jiancheng is no different.

All of them are under Li Yuan's control.

At first, Li Yuan didn't realize that this incident was related to Li Shimin, but simply wanted to save Li Jiancheng's life, even if Li Jiancheng really had the intention of killing him. As a father, he also did not want his son to die at his command.

But with a conversation with Li Jiancheng, he sensed Li Shimin's faint ambition.

Although Li Shimin hides it very well, but unless you don't do this kind of thing, don't try to hide it if you do it. Li Yuan didn't think about it in that direction, so Li Jiancheng woke up a little bit, and realized that it was the second child who was making trouble.

Thinking of the huge temptation of power, Li Yuan couldn't help but blame Li Shimin.

Just wait for Yang Wengan's arrival, and then end the matter dramatically.

As for how to deal with the relationship between the two brothers next, let's talk about it when we go back to Chang'an.

Li Yuan thought with a headache, he never expected that this summer vacation would cause such an uncontrollable situation.

……

Li Yuan still thinks too beautiful!

Soon he got news from Yang Wengan.

Yang Wengan rebelled in Gyeongju, and the army approached Phoenix Valley. (To be continued......)
