Chapter 333: Chaos

"Queen Mother!"

When Empress Changsun entered the house, Li Tai immediately wept out loud, looking very miserable, the news of his assassination was exactly what he sent to ask the eunuch to pass on Empress Changsun.

"How's your injury?" Although Empress Changsun is the mother of a country, she is also a mother after all, and her son is injured, so she is naturally very concerned.

"Erchen is fine, but he hurt his leg." As he spoke, Li Tai put his hand on the wound that had just been bandaged, "If it weren't for Erchen's timely dodge, I'm afraid what the queen mother sees now is the body of Erchen, please make sure to be the master of Erchen!" Li Taisheng burst into tears.

"Do you know who did it?" Although Li Chengqian's suspicion is the greatest at present, Empress Changsun can't judge that Li Chengqian did it based on speculation alone, and she doesn't want to see that the two sons are killing each other, and now the plan is just to test whether Li Tai has the evidence, if not, she just wants to turn a big thing into a small thing.

Li Taidao: "Although Erchen doesn't know who it is, the most likely master now, the queen mother must also know very well. ”

"You're talking about the crown prince?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

"Who else but him now? Ask the queen mother, if I die, who will be the best interested? Li Tai said.

Empress Changsun stood up and said, "Although you say this, if you have any evidence that it was the crown prince, if this is the enemy's trick and deliberately let your brothers kill each other, won't it be in line with their wishes at that time." ”

Li Tai only had the throne in his mind, and he was focused on Li Chengqian, but he didn't think about other possibilities, he thought for a while, and said: "If it's not the crown prince, it's Li Ke, the king of Shu, or Li Ke, the king of Wu, hmph, they have long coveted the throne, but they are just unwilling to be the son-in-law." Now that their father is trapped, they see the opportunity. ”

"Nonsense, the King of Shu is defending against the Southern Barbarians in the south, and the news that your father and emperor are besieged has just arrived, how can the King of Shu and the King of Wu know!" Empress Changsun reprimanded, "Moreover, if Li Su wants the throne, why use such despicable means to Yizhou's army, why not directly enter Chang'an." seized the throne. ”

Li Tai was speechless for a moment, and paused for a while before saying: "If he really doesn't have the heart to covet, why didn't he send an army north to support his father, I heard that Nanban has been defeated by him." ”

Li Su went to support Li Shimin's matter, in order not to let the news leak, very few people knew about it, and Empress Changsun naturally didn't know about it, Li Tai said at this time. She was also a little suspicious, she never thought that Li Su's Yizhou army would have such a strong combat power, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern barbarians were defeated in less than a month. It stands to reason that it has been more than a month since the news of the defeat of Nanban came, and Li Su could have sent an army to support Li Shimin, but now she has not heard any news.

From the bottom of her heart, she believed that Li Su would not do this, but at the same time, the cruelty of the competition for the throne made her have to doubt it. If Li Su really took advantage of the chaos to seize Chang'an at this time, it would be easy, and no one could stop him. "Don't speculate before the matter is settled, you better take care of your injuries." Empress Changsun's mind is a little chaotic, son, Li Zhi is now in Yizhou, if Li Su has bad intentions, what should she do?

Empress Changsun's pale face fell into Li Tai's eyes, making him a little unbearable, this speculation even he was startled, if Li Su really wanted to fight for the throne, at this time it was impossible to say that Yizhou's army was marching towards Chang'an, and when he was thinking about it, a guard hurriedly came in and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" ”

"Prince!" Li Tai and Empress Changsun glanced at each other, not understanding why the crown prince came over at this time.

"Hmph, I guess it's to see if I'm dead?" Li Tai said sarcastically.

Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Tai helplessly, and said to the guards, "Let him come in!" ”

In response, the guards turned around and left, and after a while, Li Chengqian, who was wearing a goose yellow robe, walked in, and saw that the eldest grandson queen was also in the house, Li Chengqian was a little surprised, and said: "The son sees the queen mother!" ”

"Excuse me, prince, you are also here to visit King Wei?" Empress Changsun said, Li Tai was still lying on the bed, with a stinky face, and ignored Li Chengqian at all.

Li Chengqian said: "Erchen hurried to hear that King Wei was assassinated, and now his father is trapped in Huaiyuan City, and Erchen, as the crown prince, and fulfills the responsibility of supervising the country, must come to see it." ”

The words "prison country" fell into Li Tai's ears, Li Tai's face became more and more ugly, with the responsibility of supervising the country, Li Chengqian could ascend to the throne more logically, he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, but said: "Thank you brother prince for your concern, I was only a little injured, and I can't die!" ”

"Li Tai!" Empress Eldest Sun said in a solemn voice.

Li Chengqian smiled faintly and said, "I understand that Shiro must be suspecting that I have arranged assassins, but I can swear that this matter is definitely not instigated by me." Li Chengqian's tone was firm, "Moreover, as the crown prince, it is natural for me to inherit the throne, so why use such an unbright villain." When he said the word "villain", Li Chengqian deliberately strengthened his tone.

Li Chengqian cleared himself, and at the same time alluded to Li Tai's villainous behavior last year, which made Li Tai's face more and more ugly, but Li Chengqian was so sure that he didn't do it, Li Tai had to overturn his guess again, he thought about it, and blurted out: "Is it really Li Ke or Li Su who did it!" ”

"I thought the same way, so when this happened, I hurried over, lest our brothers fight and end up cheapening others." Li Chengqian said.

When Empress Changsun heard this, she said: "Okay, you don't have to speculate, Li Su will not rebel, and when the truth is found out, it will naturally come to light, today, I will clearly tell you about the two of you here, now Datang is facing an unprecedented crisis, if you disregard the overall situation and make trouble in Chang'an City, I will definitely not spare the two of you." In the end, Empress Changsun still chose to believe in Li Su, because Li Su is not the one who stabbed him in the back, he wants the throne, why should he take advantage of this time to imprison Li Shimin when he is in Yizhou, let alone send that powerful artillery.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" The two said in unison, they understood that the eldest grandson Wuji was the most powerful in Chang'an City now, and the eldest grandson Wuji was basically obedient to his sister's words, and without the support of the eldest grandson queen, none of them could ascend to the throne, which is why Li Tai went to ask for the mercy of the eldest grandson as soon as he was assassinated.

Because of the intervention of Empress Changsun, Li Tai's assassination was quickly suppressed, and the surface of Chang'an City was restored to calm.

After Li Su of Yizhou got the news of Li Tai's assassination, he thought that Chang'an was about to start a fratricidal drama again, but he didn't expect it to be silent, he analyzed it, and felt that it must have been the Empress Changsun who gave the two of them a warning, which made the two stop calculating each other, thinking of this Li Su couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, if Empress Changsun died of illness in Zhenguan for ten years as in history, these two people may have fought at this time, it seems that Empress Changsun has a great impact on the course of history.

Although the show can't be seen, Li Su feels that this may not be a good thing, and the real problem now is Jieli and Xue Yantuo, if they are still fighting at this time, it will only be cheaper for others to further infringe on the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the army in the north will not get the supply of grain and grass because of the infighting in Chang'an, after all, these things are done by Li Chengqian and Li Tai, how can the two of them care about the life and death of the northern army when they are busy fighting......

Huaiyuan City, Li Shimin's expression was a little haggard, it was originally in the plan, so he didn't expect that he would suddenly betray if he lost his thinking power, which made Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji's ambush soldiers have to go to deal with the stubborn loss of thinking from the rear of Huaiyuan City, and the Turkic army took advantage of this time to surround Huaiyuan City, and attacked Huaiyuan City fiercely, as if it was to break through the city in one breath, if it weren't for the strong defense of the Praetorian Guards wearing plate armor, the city at this time is estimated to have been breached.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go!" When Li Shimin was annoyed, Yan Si's voice came. (To be continued......)
