Chapter 44: The Dust Settles

"I know that there are some feelings in this world that are not accepted by the world." Li Shimin smiled fearlessly, the expression on his face was very flat, he finished what he wanted to say last, closed his eyes, and said lightly: "What you want, come and get it now." ”

Li Junzhi didn't move, as if the secret he wanted to hide for many years had been made public, Liuning, Tang Changyu and Liubin all looked at Li Junzhi in surprise, Li Junzhi's hand holding the sword became tighter and tighter, and the friendship he had been carefully kept, the feelings that no one would find out, still couldn't escape the eyes of this emperor.

Until now, Li Junzhi finally understands that Li Shimin, as a generation of emperors, has his own unique and extraordinary courage.

Li Junzhi took a deep breath, as if he had made a lot of determination, and his voice was almost roaring: "Yes, I love to build, so what!" He is gone, and I still love him for more than ten years! I know that this affection will not be accepted by the world, and of course, I do not expect a response from Jiancheng, and I am even afraid that telling him will insult him. ”

"But I won't change, I will never forget that when I was young, when I was poor and couldn't eat, it was Jiancheng who took in our brothers and sisters, and Jiancheng had the grace of knowing us, from childhood to adulthood, only Jiancheng really regarded me as a brother, but he is the prince, this kindness, I can't repay it."

"So, you killed him, but I understand that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late, over the years, I have read "Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong" thousands of times, and I can almost recite it backwards, because this was once a book that was built, but it has achieved your reputation as a virtuous person, you say, is this too ridiculous?"

Li Shimin nodded with a wry smile, and said, "What you said is right, I have been waiting for a long time, waiting for myself to go down one day, to give an explanation to my father and eldest brother, I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and what I didn't expect was that there were still people like me, remembering my eldest brother, missing my eldest brother, I was really moved." ”

"You don't have to be here to pretend," Li Junzhi didn't want to admit it, he seemed to be shaken, what happened today made him more and more suspicious, he hated for so many years, whether it was wrong, but he still didn't want to give up, some things, there must be an understanding today, there is a result.

"My feelings are invisible, but can you see people with your means?" Li Junzhi asked.

Li Shimin shook his head, sighed and said: "My means are that I can't see people, but I don't regret doing this, this is an emperor must bear, the height is unbearable, I can bear it, but you can't, everyone has something to do in life, this is fate." ”

"In all fairness, I am the most suitable person to sit on this country, Li Junzhi, if you kill me today, you will sit on this country, or can you bring my eldest brother back to life, you are like this, my eldest brother is underground, can you feel at ease?"

Li Shimin said while approaching Li Junzhi, he looked ahead, unarmed, but still indifferent, not afraid of killing, the closer he approached Li Junzhi, the more Li Junzhi could feel the kingly demeanor on him, maybe as he said, this is fate, maybe God arranged him to be the master of this dynasty.

After so many years of this truth, Li Junzhi felt that he had not figured it out, but given up. Perhaps it was destined by God that from the very beginning, in this peaceful and prosperous world, rebellion would not succeed. The sword in his hand gradually lost its strength, and with the crisp sound of the sword falling to the ground, Li Junzhi also knelt on the ground.

Li Shimin stopped, he seemed to be indifferent to look at Li Junzhi who was kneeling on the ground, Liuning, Tang Changyu and Liubin, the three people who had been watching from the side, looked at each other, but Li Junzhi was still expressionless, kowtowed to Li Shimin, and said: "The guilty minister pleaded guilty, is willing to be punished, and asks Your Majesty to deal with it." ”

Li Shimin didn't speak, turned his back, walked straight back to the high platform, sat back on the dragon chair unhurriedly, his eyes quickly swept over the four people in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Li Junzhi's body, and he chuckled: "It's good that you confess." ”

Liuning and Liubin knelt down at the same time, which was unexpected by everyone, Liuning and Liubin glanced at each other at the same time, and knew what the other party thought, Liubin signaled Liuning not to speak first, because he understood that what they said would only add fuel to the fire and anger Long Yan, but he still had to say it.

But Liuning didn't pay attention to Liubin's hints, he knew that Liubin was also in the rebellion team this time, with the emperor's character, he would definitely not be spared, if his brother exonerated the guilty ministers at this time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to protect himself, and the moth would put out the fire.

Liu Ning grabbed before Liubin and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say, Weichen knows that what his uncle did today has angered Long Yan, and it is really an unforgivable crime, but you have a lot of adults, and you must also hope that the hatred will stop today, so Weichen has the courage to ask you to spare your uncle from the death penalty, and don't let more people shed blood for the mistakes of the year." ”

Liubin continued: "The criminal is brave, today's incident is that the criminal minister rebelled, and the emperor wanted to punish and kill all the criminals, please read my uncle's affection for your imperial brother and spare his life." ”

"Please also ask the emperor to be gracious." Tang Changyu also knelt down, he secretly shook Liuning's hand, nodded to Liuning, looked at Liuning's pale face, hoping to give him a little strength.

At this time, Li Junzhi stood up suddenly and stood in front of the three people who were kneeling on the ground. Liuning and Liubin's uncle, is hitting the softest place in his heart, this indifferent more than ten years, he felt the warmth for the first time, this is blood thicker than water family affection, even if he has done so many heinous things, Liuning and Liubin still risk death to intercede for him.

Li Junzhi was hit hard, he was ashamed, ashamed to be an elder, but he was so nonsense, desperate, and even did not hesitate to use the feelings of the closest people, how could he have the face to see his longing Jiancheng and his sister. This time, and for the last time, he had to do something for Liuning and Liubin, even if it was the last one.

Li Junzhi looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is my fault from beginning to end, I want to seek revenge on you, and it has nothing to do with these juniors." This is the grievance of our generation, and it has nothing to do with them, and I ask you, with your loving heart, not to let these hatreds continue, and all the guilt will be borne by me Li Jun. ”

Everyone looked at Li Junzhi in shock, he didn't let go of his hatred, but completely accepted his fate, he knew that he couldn't fight Li Shimin, he couldn't fight this prosperous world, he couldn't fight this fate, his heart was dead.

Only Li Shimin walked up to Liuning and Liubin without changing his face, helped them up, but only said lightly: "In the end, you should also call me Uncle Huang." ”

Liuning and Liubin were stunned, and at this time, Li Shimin had already summoned his subordinates and ordered: "Put Li Junzhi and Liubin into the prison to wait for the fate, and send Tang Changyu and Liuning back to their homes." ”

Liuning wanted to argue about something, but was stopped by Tang Changyu, Liuning could read Tang Changyu's eyes, knew that he must have something to say, and he had no other way, the injuries left by fighting all the way finally began to ache faintly, she felt that her body became light, pain and complex feelings were intertwined, and she lost consciousness in the next second.
