Chapter 505:-for-tat (7)

Your Majesty has a decree: pass on the prince Li Zhen Ganlu Palace to meet him, and all the ministers and workers will retreat as one, and each will return to his own mansion, and he will have a book on the matter of Zhangfu, and he will decide on it in the morning after tomorrow. At the moment when Li Zhen's heart was in turmoil, the few little eunuchs holding lanterns had already gathered around a middle-aged eunuch and walked closer, and the middle-aged eunuch read out the holy oracle loudly.

The ministers were drinking and frightened in Cheng's Mansion before, and then they hurried all the way to the imperial city, they were already sleepy and tired at this time, but they were barely supporting, and when they heard that they could go back to the house, how could they not hurry up and slip away, Hula La was scattered all of a sudden, but not everyone was in a hurry to go, and several princes all stood still, and looked at each other with different faces between the middle-aged eunuch and Li Zhen. shouted at the top of his voice: "Princess, I also want to see the driver, and I also handed over the sign, why don't you announce that I am waiting, huh?" ”

"Yes, Princess, I've been waiting for so long, do you see if you can accommodate one or two, and then go to the courtesy?" With Li Tai taking the lead, Wu King Li Ke was naturally not far behind, and immediately followed up with a word.

"Third brother, fourth brother, you, don't fight, people have different identities, I'd better hurry home and wash and sleep, hey, take advantage of the cold weather at this time, sleep well, hehe......" Li Ke opened his mouth, and Li Shu, the king of Shu who was standing aside with his hands in his hands, said in a weird way, and the sourness and provocative meaning in those words were so strong that they could be smelled from afar.

"Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense, they are all the sons of their father, how can there be so much talk, all nonsense!" Li Ke scolded pretendically, but there was something wrong with the flavor in these words - this was to get rid of the crown prince halo on Li Zhen's head and pull the big guy to a line to talk about things.

"Brothers, ...... Why are you like this, didn't my father say it, let's discuss it tomorrow, little brother ......" Li Zhen only cared about calculating countermeasures, and didn't pay attention to the nonsense of a group of brothers, but Li Shen, the king of Ji who was standing beside him, couldn't see it, stood up with a red face, and tried to accuse the brothers of misconduct in their words and deeds, but unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Li Zhen glared unceremoniously, and cursed fiercely: "Little brat, get out of the way, when is it your turn to say something, get out!" ”

"You ......" King Ji Li Shen was timid, and when he was yelled at by Li Su, he was scared and angry, he wanted to scold but didn't dare, and under the grievance, he grabbed Li Zhen's arm and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Prince, they, they are nonsense." ”

Li Zhen was originally pondering alone, but when Li Shen pulled him like this, he immediately woke up, his face sank, and his eyes swept towards the kings like a knife, and his murderous aura was overflowing, so that the princes were so busy that they each took a step back, and no one dared to look at Li Zhen.

"Tenth brother, it's not early, let's go back first, and when I turn around, I have time to sit in my brother's palace, there is no one next to me, there is a lot of good wine." Li Zhen saw that the kings didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and they didn't think much of themselves, but they just reached out and patted Li Shen's shoulder, said a casual word, and strode over to the prince who came to deliver the decree.

Li Shen tried several times to lean on Li Zhen, but never got Li Zhen's response, at this time Li Zhen's words have been clearly expressed, which can be regarded as admitting Li Shen's investment, which can make Li Shen happy, regardless of the eyes of the brothers on the side who want to eat people, bowed respectfully to Li Zhen's back, got into the carriage with a cigarette, and turned back to his own palace, leaving only the three kings of Wu, Wei, and Shu standing still at the palace gate.

The middle-aged eunuch who came to pass the decree was named Wang Quan, who was just promoted to the eunuch in charge of the Ganlu Palace, who had been serving in the Luoyang Palace in the eastern capital, until last year when Li Shimin spent the winter in the eastern capital, he saw that he was experienced and effective, so he brought it back to the Beijing Division, and was promoted to such an important position as the director of the Ganlu Palace, and he did not have much dealings with Li Zhen, and he didn't even have a conversation, for Li Zhen, a strong prince, Wang Quan was not as respectful and afraid as other eunuchs, and at this time he saw Li Zhen walking over, didn't rush forward to curry favor, just bowed down on the spot, and said meticulously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited, and the Holy One is still waiting in the study." ”

"There is a prince of Lao." Li Zhen had sent someone to check on this person earlier, and he knew a little about his details, and at this time, seeing his attitude calmly, he also had a little appreciation in his heart, so he responded with a smile, and then raised his feet and walked into Chengtianmen, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and rushed to the Ganlu Palace.

As soon as Li Zhen left like this, the remaining three kings were embarrassed, they looked at each other, each of them felt bored, and they were all very unwilling - seeing that they were about to be able to calculate Li Zhen, but they didn't expect Li Zhen to be even more ruthless, and they actually came to the bottom of the kettle and knocked over Zhang Liang. Under the surprise of this time, it is difficult to ensure that Li Zhen does not make relevant arrangements, and the great opportunity slipped away in vain, which is enough to make the kings sigh.

"Third brother, sixth brother, you can't let that guy be so proud, you look ......at it" Others are okay to say, Li Tai is a big loss this time, not only did he not eat the fish, but he made a commotion, if Zhang Liang finished playing, he Li Taike was cut off an arm, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, seeing that Wu and Shu didn't say much, they had to make an invitation, trying to win over the two kings to come forward to protect Zhang Liang.

"Alas, it's too late, as soon as this wine comes up, people are tired, hehe, dozing, dozing, farewell, farewell!" Li Ke, the king of Wu, groaned and didn't speak, but Li Ke was very simple, and when he saw that there was no drama to sing, he dropped a plausible scene and slipped away on his own.

"Alas......" Li Ke pondered for a long time, thinking that the chance of a reversal was not great, as for Zhang Liang's life and death, he would not take it to heart, as soon as he saw Li Su leave, he didn't want to stay anymore, he didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed, and got in the car and went home.

"A pair of dog thieves! Phew, Bird! Seeing that the two kings of Wu and Shu were so unrighteous, Li Tai was so angry that he glared at the convoy of the two kings, stomped his feet hatefully, and after cursing, he had to leave the palace in a huff and go back to his house to lick his wounds.

Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, not to mention that the kings were fighting outside, but said that Li Zhen marched into the palace, all the way wordlessly towards the Manna Palace, in the dark night faintly noticed that the guards in the palace seemed to be much stricter than before, and there were many outposts arranged in the open and dark places, with Li Zhen's martial arts, he could sense that some of them were quite strong in martial arts, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly deepened a little, and when he got the small square in front of the Manna Palace, Li Zhen slowed down slightly, He looked sideways at Wang Quan, who was following behind half a step, and asked with a casual look: "Princess-Wang, where did Father-in-law Liu go?" ”

Wang Quan obviously didn't expect Li Zhen to ask such a question at this time, and was stunned for a moment, and then replied calmly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Gonggong Liu was ordered to go to Beiya to deliver the decree. ”

"Oh? Really? Li Zhen said casually, but did not say anything to ask what the will was conveyed, but just glanced at Wang Quan coldly, slightly quickened his pace, and walked up the steps of the Manna Palace.

Li Zhen's glance at the past was really rich, Wang Quan was a clever person, but he saw the meaning, and after being silent for a while, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has sent an order to General Li to send two thousand soldiers and horses to Zhangjiazhuang to garrison. As soon as he had finished speaking, he kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything more.

Hmm, dare to love the old willow head to do this errand, well, since the old man has sent the Yulin Army to take over the defense, it means that the old man may have acquiesced in the fact that Zhang Liang conspired to rebel. Thinking of this, Li Zhen's heart that had always been hanging was a little relieved, and he understood the kindness of Wang Quan, a middle-aged eunuch, and he didn't ask any more, and strode into the Ganlu Palace, passed through the main hall, turned into the harem, and walked all the way to the study along the corridor.

"Son-in-law, see father." As soon as Li Zhen walked into the door of the study, he saw that the old man was sitting on the top with a black face, and the two prime ministers of the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang stood with their heads bowed like wood carvings, and the atmosphere in the room was so depressed that it was suffocating.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen with a straight face, he didn't say a word for a long time, the look on his face was as cold as ice, and Li Zhen was not in a hurry, just bowed and stood like this, maintaining a respectful posture, the father and son were in a stalemate for about a pillar of incense, and Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Calm down." ”

"Son-in-law, thank your father, Emperor Longen." Li Zhen respectfully saluted, then stood up straight, looked into Li Shimin's eyes, and said very earnestly: "Father, Zhang Shilang's matter was handled a little more urgently, however, at that time, Zhang's mansion was gathering people to raise troops, and many important ministers of the court were in the Cheng Mansion across the road, once there was a loss, the consequences were unimaginable, so the son decided to take Zhang Liang first and then make a plan, although there was a reason, but the crime of overstepping was inevitable, and I implored my father to take the crime." ”

Li Zhen's words were really orderly, not only admitting that there were overpasses, but also stating that this was a matter of urgency, and he let him say all the good and bad things, which can be described as high-sounding, but he did not mention that the fundamental starting point of this matter was the book of performance on Zhang Liang, which made Li Shimin unable to move, accept and unwilling, and the anger in his heart immediately burned, and a pair of eyes were as sharp as knives staring at Li Zhen's eyes, but Li Zhen was unmoved, still standing there steadily, without the slightest intention of dodging.

The father and son didn't look at each other tightly, but the sparks splashed out made the two prime ministers on the side unable to stand - although the relationship between the two and Li Zhen was not close, and there were even some old grudges, but as the prime minister, how could he not sit back and watch the dispute between the emperor and the prince, once this happened, the Tang Dynasty was afraid that it would be shaken, so despite all kinds of reluctance, the eldest grandson Wuji still stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the prince is doing it out of the public heart, even if there is a small mistake, it is harmless, Now that Zhang Liang has been arrested, whether he is guilty or not, and what he should convict, still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the eldest grandson Situ said is very true, and I hope Your Majesty will know it." As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Zhu Suiliang also echoed his words.

Seeing that the two prime ministers came out to help Li Zhen say good things, Li Shimin didn't want to have a seizure at this time, but he didn't want to let Li Zhen go so easily, so he waved his hand impatiently and said: "I said that Zhang Liang will discuss it as soon as possible after the future, you don't need to say more, it's not too early, just retreat." ”

The two prime ministers did not want to be caught between the emperor's father and son, and at this time, Li Shimin issued an eviction order, but he was thinking about the two of them, but he was worried that there would be a fierce collision between the father and son who were extremely resolute, and they didn't dare to move for a while, and looked at each other, but they didn't have the courage to speak again, and after hesitating again and again, they could only bow down and retreat, leaving only Li Shimin and his son alone in the study.

Looking at Li Zhen's heroic face, Li Shimin felt a wave of jealousy in his heart for no reason, and then remembered Li Zhen's unauthorized handling of Zhang Liang, he was even more annoyed, his face was blue, he pursed his lower lip hatefully, and said coldly: "You are so bold, you dare to hide from me so recklessly, aren't you afraid that I will be abolished, huh?" ”

Fear? If Li Zhen was afraid before, now when Li Zhen's wings have been completed, if he really wants the father and son to turn their faces, who can have the last laugh, it is difficult to say, but as a son of man, Li Zhen does not want to make trouble to such a point, at this time, seeing Li Shimin attack himself, Li Zhen is relieved - if the old man comforts him with a beautiful face, it means that Li Shimin is determined to deal with himself, and if he has a face-to-face attack, it shows that Li Shimin still regards Li Zhen as a son rather than an enemy, therefore, Li Zhen was not panicked by Li Shimin's anger, but just bowed down and said: "Father is angry, the son does not dare to be rude and illegal, the son is at fault, you can punish it." ”

"Wrong? Do you know what's wrong? Okay, let's just talk about it, you've done something wrong, hum! Li Shimin did not let go lightly because Li Zhen admitted his mistake, but slapped the desk and reprimanded him.

"The father is angry, the father is angry, the son is acting badly, please ask the father to surrender." Seeing Li Shimin's face pale, Li Zhen's heart was not very comfortable, so he knelt down, kowtowed, and admitted his mistake again.

"You ......, do you really want to be angry? I, I ......" Li Shimin stood up, and hurriedly paced back a few steps in the study, just thinking about reprimanding Li Zhen again, but it was really difficult to speak, after all, the cause of this incident was actually his own, and the reason was really indescribable, under the irritability, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little speechless, the corners of his mouth twitched for a while, and finally he didn't say anything, and at the end, he sighed heavily, shook his hand and said: "That's it, I'm old, I can't care so much, how can you do it, Let's go down. ”

"Father, the sons dare not ......" Li Zhen saw Li Shimin's haggard expression as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant, and he was very distressed, and he was busy talking about wanting to explain, but Li Shimin had no intention of listening to Li Zhen's explanation at this time, and waved his hand impatiently, signaling Li Zhen to retreat.

Li Zhen did not retreat immediately, just because he knew very well that he could not leave at this time, if he really left like this, the matter would not be explained, the estrangement between father and son for a lifetime, it would be difficult to keep the accident for a long time, so Li Zhen not only did not go, but took a step forward on his knees and said: "Father, the son is really not a wanton person, the five hundred fake sons that Zhang Liang received have been captured on the spot, and the five hundred heavy armor have also been seized on the spot, it is true that this matter should not have been taken by the son, however, the matter is urgent, and the son has no choice but to do it, and please forgive my father." ”

Li Shimin had already learned about the whole thing from Zhu Suiliang's report, but Li Shimin had blindly believed that this matter was an unjust case concocted by Li Zhen behind his back, and he went to Zhang Liang's share of meritorious work, and did not have the heart to pay attention to whether Zhang Liang himself was wrong. At the beginning, many of the hundreds of warriors who infiltrated the Xuanwu Gate in the Qin Wangfu were the heroes of the rivers and lakes that Zhang Liang came forward to contact, and at this time Zhang Liang made another five hundred fakes, and considering that Zhang Liang always stood on the side of Li Tai, the king of Wei, I am afraid that I really have to think about it.

"Is that really the case?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhen suspiciously, and asked in disbelief.

Facing Li Shimin's questioning, Li Zhen did not hesitate at all, and replied in a firm tone: "Father Mingjian, the five hundred fake sons have all been captured, and there is still Chang Dexuan, the head of the company, who can testify, and in addition, the warlocks Gongsun Chang and Cheng Gongying, who are privately connected with Zhang Liang, have also been arrested. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin saw that what Li Zhen said did not seem to be false, and the anger of the Dragon Invincible Book House was reduced a lot, but he did not express his position immediately, but after muttering for a while, he asked with a little hesitation: "Can Fourth Brother Er be implicated in this?" ”

As soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, Li Zhen's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and he couldn't wait to climb up the pole immediately, and took this opportunity to put Li Tai, the king of Wei, into it, and he wanted to think about it, but he couldn't do it, the reason is very simple, this matter can't stand scrutiny is one thing, and the other is that Li Shimin will never allow Li Zhen to deal with his brother, so Li Zhen replied without a trace of hesitation: "Father Emperor Mingjian, the fourth brother has nothing to do with this matter, according to Erchen's opinion, Zhang Liang is cunning, What he did must have been done by hiding it from the fourth brother, if the fourth brother knew about his rampant behavior, he would never allow him to act recklessly. ”

Seeing that Li Zhen did not try to involve King Wei in this case, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, but he didn't say how to deal with this matter, but just glanced at Li Zhen and calmly ordered: "I know, it's getting late, and I'm tired." ”

"Father, the son is retiring, father, please rest early, and it is a good honor to protect the dragon body." Li Zhen saw that Li Shimin was no longer angry, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he bowed respectfully and withdrew from the study.

"You can't live if you do your own evil!" After Li Zhen left, Li Shimin stood in the study for a long time, his eyes flickered, and finally sighed with emotion, flicked his sleeves, and also transferred to the harem, but his figure was much more rickety than before, and he looked extraordinarily old and haggard......
