entered the palace to bid farewell to Li Shimin, and by the way, he sent a batch of jewelry to Mei Niang, telling her that I would not come back in the past two years, and asked her to be careful herself, she nodded. Before leaving, I still told her to 'collect', and she understood. At this point, there is no way to dodge, and convergence should be the smartest method.
When he went to say goodbye to Li Shimin, Li Zhi was crying, and it turned out that Cheng Qian and Li Tai were also going to leave today. The two mortal enemies were finally defeated, and Cheng Qian saved his life, but before leaving, he still bit Li Tai hard, saying that he was already a prince What else could he ask for? If it weren't for Li Tai's step-by-step pressing, he wouldn't have become what he is today. And Li Tai is not a good bird, thinking that the crown prince is within reach, he actually ran to tell Li Shimin that he would kill his son in the future to pass on the throne to Li Zhi. also ran to threaten Li Zhi by the way, saying that he had a good relationship with Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, and that he also participated in the rebellion. was known by Li Shimin, so he was also demoted. Li Shimin told the world that the position of the crown prince could not be contested, which was a wake-up call to other princes, but this was also in vain, Li Shimin only had three sons-in-law, and he could only choose among them, and the Longyou group was not easy to mess with.
Li Zhi became the ultimate victor, but he didn't seem to have the consciousness of being a victor, and was crying and begging Li Shimin to give the two brothers the corresponding etiquette, at least bring a winter coat. I watched quietly, and my heart was sour. Looking at Li Shimin again, he was not angry, he just listened indifferently, saw that I was coming, and turned his head to me.
"Ma'am, you're leaving too?" His tone was full of desolation, and he used the word 'also', and he was afraid that he was sighing for the two sons.
"Yes, I was about to say goodbye to Your Majesty." I am respectful.
"Helan's family is walking with his wife?"
"No, the fief of the Helan family is near Wenshui, the old general and Yue Shi will leave Beijing first, and the concubine will go after His Majesty to chase them after she resigns." I thought about it and said, "The old general has no face to see His Majesty, so please ask the concubine to convey her gratitude to Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin calculated the resignation of General Helan and kept the title and property of the Helan family, which made the court somewhat resigned, but in the end, seeing that Helan Yueshi was beaten into half, it gradually subsided, but the Helan family was really grateful for Li Shimin's tolerance.
"Forget it, it's just such a son, and it doesn't make much trouble besides, it's hard to really take away their livelihood." Li Shimin waved his hand, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Zhi, "You send Mrs. for me." ”
After I thanked him, I pulled Li Zhi away, Li Zhi was still at a loss, and I sighed long in my heart, it was really difficult to live to Li Shimin. wanted to save his son's life and asked the courtiers, but none of them were willing to let Cheng Qian go, including the crown prince's staunchest supporter at the time, Changsun Wuji, if it weren't for a little Shi Jinyan who knew how to look at his face, Cheng Qian would have really been killed. If Li Shimin asks Cheng Qian and them to keep their dignity at this time, I am afraid that it will make the courtiers even more unfavorable to Cheng Qian, so let me do it!
I took Li Zhi out of the palace in a hurry, went to a good garment shop to buy a few sets of fur cloaks for him to hold, drove the car to the Changting, and caught up with Cheng Qian and Li Tai's convoy. I pulled Li Zhi out of the car, divided the clothes into two bags and handed them to him, he looked at me, and rushed to the convoy.
I looked at the three brothers from a distance, maybe only at this time, they would calm down and talk like brothers, right? The brothers chatted for a few words, and Cheng Qian dragged a sick leg towards me, Li Tai thought about it and followed. I had no choice but to go up, anyway, I am also a prince, I don't want to fall into the well when people are unlucky. There was a chill in the wilderness, so I went up to them, asked for a cloak over the burden, and fastened it with my own hands. Cheng Qian was about to salute again, but I still stopped them and gently stroked their cheeks, "Live well." ”
"Mrs. Cheng Qian, Mrs. Xie, my father said that it was Mrs. who begged him, no matter what Cheng Qian did, please ask him to let Cheng Qian live." This is the first time Cheng Qian has spoken to me like this, and I can't help but feel a little sad.
"Stupid words, it's your father who wants you to live." I scolded him, he should understand my intentions, at this time, there can be no more nonsense into Li Shimin's ears, look at Li Tai again, he has lost a lot of weight, his face is sallow, it seems that he has suffered a lot these days, I let out a long sigh, and pulled Li Tai and Cheng Qian's hands together, "You three have the same father and mother, and you are the most cherished sons of Your Majesty." ”
Li Tai and Cheng Qian didn't seem to plan to reconcile at this time, and it was a little embarrassing to be forced to pull together by me, but maybe thinking of their situation at this moment, I was the only one who brought Li Zhi to send them, so I accepted my love and didn't get rid of it immediately. I pulled Li Zhi again, let him and Cheng Qian, Li Tai three of them hold together, because with Li Zhi joined, the scene became less strange, the two of them also calmed down, I looked at them, vaguely remembered that Cheng Qian was assassinated in the fief and died, his death hit Li Shimin very hard, so he abolished the dynasty for a few days.
Think about it, I looked at Li Zhi: "Your Highness, see clearly, these two are His Highness's closest brothers, and they have the same blood as His Highness. ”
Li Zhi nodded violently, and I continued to say solemnly, "Your Highness, no matter who it is, trying to harm the two Highnesses in vain is intended to do evil to Your Highness. ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked at the two brothers, looked at me again, and I also looked at him, "Your Majesty has released the two Highnesses, so please Your Highness protect the safety of the two Highnesses for Your Majesty, and don't let the shameless people hurt the two Highnesses." ”
Li Zhi finally understood what I meant, put down his burden and put his hand on his brother's hand and said proudly: "I, Li Zhi, swear that if I move my brother and elder as I am, if I hurt my brother and elder, if I hurt my brother, and whoever is my brother's enemy is my enemy!" ”
Li Tai cried, he was not like Cheng Qian, who was degraded to a concubine and sent out of Chang'an, but he also knew that he had no chance with the throne from now on, and it could be regarded as a situation of people being swords and I being fish and meat. I asked Li Zhi, who was already the crown prince, to swear to protect them in front of them, and he already knew that Li Zhi would not take revenge on him, so he should be relieved!
I looked back at Cheng Qian and Li Tai, "The two highnesses also swear that from now on they will study behind closed doors and will not ask about the world, and no matter who writes to them, please refuse to leave the door." ”
After all, Cheng Qian is a person who has been the crown prince, just now I asked Li Zhi to swear that he should have understood what I meant, and at this time I asked them to swear again, he was even more sure, nodded and swore loudly, Li Tai agreed. I sighed and hugged the three of them gently, "Living is the best reward for your father and mother, and the concubine will return to her hometown today, three highnesses, you each cherish it." ”
Sent the two of them to the car, and when the car was far away, when I was about to send Li Zhi back to the palace, a small car appeared not far away, the car got closer and closer, and soon stopped in front of our car, opened the sedan curtain, Li Shimin and Mei Niang sat in the car, I sent Li Zhi to the car, and didn't say anything. After saluting, I went back to the car and sat down, and slowly drove in the direction of Wenshui.
