Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Pain of Losing a Child
Li Su was thinking about this incident all the way, and at this time, he was looking down on the whole thing from the perspective of God, but there were still many things that he didn't understand.
"Li You wants to assassinate Li Chengqian by the Turks, while disturbing the situation in the court, and returning to the city with meritorious service, which seems very reasonable!"
"Li Tai wants to insert a few more people above the court, and the person who assassinated Li Chengqian has nothing to do with him, so this kind of good thing naturally has to be involved in the first time!"
"The third gob's bureau is the biggest, on the one hand, he contacted Li Tai and Li You to assassinate Li Chengqian together, and on the other hand, he sent his own people to assassinate Li Chengqian, so that no matter whether Li Chengqian was assassinated or not, it would cause a shock, Chang'an City would be closed as soon as possible, Li You was the first suspect, and Li Tai couldn't escape the involvement, only he, a disabled person, was in the house, and no one would think of it being related to him at the first time!"
But the situation at this time suddenly changed a little, why was the third brother assassinated? Is his assassination true or false? Is it possible that the third brother is actually not dead, he was called back to Chang'an by him but did not let him do things for him, he just said that he would give her a surprise when his mother celebrated her birthday in a few days, the third brother is not like such a stupid person! β
Li Su only felt that it was really difficult to deal with so much information suddenly, if it wasn't for Li Ke telling him this information before, as well as his next thoughts, Li Ke would definitely think that Li Ke was really killed, but how could Li Ke know that he was going to assassinate Li Chengqian in Chang'an City, although he had asked him, but he shook his head and didn't say much, just told himself to believe him.
Li Su only felt that the third brother had left him with a problem, this problem needed to be solved slowly, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived at King Wu's mansion, Li Su's dusty appearance made the officers and soldiers guarding the door not recognize him for the first time, perhaps because he had lived in Yizhou for a long time.
Li Su was stopped outside the mansion by the officers and soldiers, and Commander Wu behind him also said for the first time: "Let go of your hands, where are you officers and soldiers, this is Li Su, the king of Shu, come to mourn His Royal Highness King Wu, you quickly get out of the way!" β
Li Su also said for the first time: "Yes, you guys get out of the way, I'm going to see my third brother!" β
These officers and soldiers naturally didn't dare to stop them, but they didn't dare to let people in easily, but fortunately, Li Junxian's voice came from behind him, "Release people, this is His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and you don't salute!" β
The officers and soldiers put down the arm that blocked Li Su, Li Su was not polite to look at Li Junxian and strode towards the courtyard, Li Shimin and Yang Concubine arrived one step earlier than Li Su, at this time Yang Concubine was already crying, seeing the black charcoal on the ground crushed little by little in the hands of the servant, Yang Fei only felt that her heart was about to break.
Li Shimin has never seen any scenes, and he was also upset by this situation at this time, after all, it was his own son, the son he valued very much, and he was actually burned to black charcoal at this time, if it weren't for the little guy in King Wu's mansion who heard the name of the assassin named Ashina, the assassination would have become an accident, and his son's revenge might not be avenged.
He carefully examined it, and then knelt beside Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu should have been burned alive, and before he was burned, someone broke the bones of his arms and thighs, so that he couldn't move, and then poured oil on His Royal Highness King Wu's bed and lit it. β
Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly, looked at the coke not far away and said, "I will definitely avenge you, don't worry!" β
Concubine Yang cried even more when she heard the words, her son actually died like this, as if the flame burned to her body, Concubine Yang only felt that it was dark in front of her eyes and fell, but fortunately, there was a palace maid on the side who had been serving closely, so that Concubine Yang did not fall to the ground.
Li Shimin was naturally distressed when he saw Concubine Ai like this, and hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor on the side and said, "What are you doing in a daze, come and take a look!" β
The imperial doctor came with the order, touched Concubine Yang's pulse, and then looked at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yang is in good health, but she is overly sad, just take a rest!" β
Before the imperial doctor's words fell, Concubine Yang woke up, but at this time she didn't seem to be in a very good state, and said while rubbing her head: "What's wrong with me, I seem to have a dream, I dreamed that Ke'er was killed!" β
Turning her head, Concubine Yang saw the black charcoal not far away, as if she knew that it was not a dream, and she was about to faint again.
Li Su entered the backyard at this time, and seeing his mother lying on the ground, Li Su hurriedly leaned over and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you, are you okay!" β
Li Shimin stared at Li Su's arrival with wide eyes, although Li Su's short time back was low-key enough, but Li Shimin didn't have no news at all, but Li Su's low-key behavior and his reluctance to care more about him, although there were rumors of Li Su's absurd behavior from time to time in Yizhou, but they were all small mistakes and there was nothing big about it.
However, at this time, Li Su swaggered in the palace of King Wu, although it was said to be a condolence for his deceased brother, but he returned to Chang'an without a holy decree, and it was really unexpected for Li Shimin to be so unscrupulous.
However, Concubine Yang didn't care so much, seeing that her other son was close in front of her, Concubine Yang only felt that someone could understand her feelings, and hugged Li Su and continued to cry: "Su'er, your third brother was assassinated, and you will have no third brother in the future!" β
The voice screamed in my heart, and tears fell into my heart. Concubine Yang's mood Li Su naturally felt the same way, and at this time, she didn't care much about whether the third brother was really dead or faked, and cried together with Concubine Yang's wail.
Li Shimin has been enduring the pain, and he can endure the grief of Concubine Yang, but Li Su's joining makes Li Shimin feel that he can no longer bear the pain of losing his son, Li Su is such a naΓ―ve child, he has always been happy in front of himself, even if he is about to be beaten by the board, he has to come to tell himself that he doesn't want him to be angry, such a child was thrown into the fief by himself early, leaving his mother's love, but he has no complaints. The child who still has to cover his butt and tell himself that he is okay after suffering a lot of boards, but at this time he is crying indecently, as if the sky has fallen.
Li Shimin's cheeks were already soaked with tears, and the old eunuch on the side actually found out that Li Shimin was also crying for a while, this great monarch who killed his brother in Xuanwu Gate could not hide the pain in his heart at this time.
The old eunuch handed the handkerchief to Li Shimin, Li Shimin took it, wiped away his tears, and said after a while: "Why is the King of Shu here, when did you return to Chang'an, why don't I know." β
There was a tremor in his voice, as if his emotions had not been suppressed.
Li Su also stopped crying when he heard Li Shimin's question, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears for Concubine Yang before saying: "Father, my son's son has been back for more than a month!" β
Li Shimin was a little surprised, he naturally knew Li Su's honesty, but such a bright and upright was unprecedented, under normal circumstances, he always had to quibble a few words, and he would not admit it obediently until he came up with evidence.
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, but then asked: "Why did you go back to Chang'an, I don't seem to have issued an order to let you go back to Chang'an!" β
Li Su lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Shimin's eyes, and then said while sobbing: "Yizhou is not as fun as Chang'an, so I'm back!" β
When Li Shimin heard this, he seemed to be attacked by anger, and he was about to scold as soon as he slapped the table, but before Li Shimin could speak, Concubine Yang said first: "What are you going to do, Your Majesty, you are going to kill my two sons today, right?" β
Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang who was not good-looking, and he was a little puzzled, Concubine Yang naturally understood in order to protect Li Su, but it was not this maintenance method to protect him, but Concubine Yang suddenly went crazy Li Shimin didn't say much so as not to irritate her again, "How come, they are also my sons, but the matter of Su'er returning to Chang'an without permission is big or small, of course I have to ask clearly!" β
Concubine Yang was unrelenting, and slowly stood up under the support of Li Su, and her face became very ugly: "Su'er was called back by me, our mother and son are separate, and the emperor doesn't know that he often asks him to come back to see, it will be my birthday in a few days, don't worry if the emperor doesn't remember, my son can't forget!" β
Li Shimin only felt embarrassed, Concubine Yang, who had lost King Wu at this time, protected Li Su like a hen protecting her chickens, which made Li Shimin's father very incompetent.
