Chapter 42: Telling the Truth

Liubin came to the door of the emperor's bedroom, and along the way, he once again admired Li Junzhi's plan, and Li Junzhi's city once again exceeded his imagination.

First, Liubin has never been to this Luoyang Palace, and he can walk here with ease, completely relying on the map that Li Junzhi told him, as for how Li Junzhi knew, Liubin does not know, in short, Li Junzhi will always have some unexpected means to achieve his goals.

Second, what Liubin saw all the way were corpses, all of which were traces of battle, he admired Li Junzhi's leadership ability, he was able to kill Li Shimin's door so quickly, and he was even a little worried that he might wake up too late, and everything he wanted to do was in vain.

But Liubin didn't have time to think about it, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and the current situation was completely beyond his imagination. He didn't expect that the rebellious army and ** were waiting for him, and Li Junzhi was one enemy and three, and he confronted Li Shimin, Liuning, and Tang Changyu with an absolutely focused demeanor.

Liubin saw that there was no fight, but he couldn't relax. He stepped forward, but heard Li Shimin say, "Everyone is here, let's go, I will talk to you, go in and talk." ”

Liubin hadn't figured out the current situation yet, but Tang Changyu seemed to be quite uneasy, blocked in front of Li Shimin, and said to Li Shimin quite worriedly: "Your Majesty, do you see if you let all the people who go in lay down their weapons, otherwise they will ......."

Li Shimin patted Tang Changyu's shoulder indifferently and said, "It's okay, they won't do anything to me, after so many years, there are some things that I should have an explanation." Li Shimin's gaze seemed to be extremely indifferent, he looked at Liubin, and walked in without looking back.

Tang Changyu and Liuning followed behind Li Shimin, Li Junzhi glanced at Liubin expressionlessly, and then followed in, Liubin couldn't guess what Li Junzhi was thinking, and also followed, he wanted to hear Li Shimin's answer, he wanted to know how he should give an explanation to his father, his eldest brother, and the people of the world.

Li Shimin sat on his dragon chair, Tang Changyu, Liuning, Liubin and Li Jun stood below, facing Li Shimin, Liubin didn't know if it was his own illusion, he always felt that in front of Li Junzhi, Li Shimin was not so high, nor did he have the aura of a strong emperor in the past, perhaps, in Liubin's heart, Li Junzhi was an opponent who was evenly matched with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin tried his best to restrain his trembling, more than ten years have passed, and in the uneasy battle of conscience, he has been waiting for today, waiting for the judgment of fate. The Xuanwu controversy has never passed in Li Shimin's heart, and today seems to be coming to an end.

Li Shimin tried to make himself appear calm, he looked at Liubin and Liuning, and there was still a tremor in his voice: "This is my long-lost nephew and niece?" ”

Li Shimin's words seemed to be a question, and it seemed to be a positive emotion, he looked at Li Junzhi, did not question him why he rebelled, did not count his guilt, but asked: "How do you know that they are the children of the eldest brother?" When did you find out? ”

Li Junzhi smiled contemptuously and said: "Hmph, when I saw them for the first time in Turkic, I was convinced that they were my long-lost nephews and nieces, Liubin's eyes are exactly the same as those built, and A-Ning, and my sister are simply carved out of a mold, blood is thicker than water, there is a feeling, of course, how can the emperor who is high up understand this feeling?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Liuning and Liubin quite movingly, and said: "My good nephew, my good niece, you have been by my side for so many years, I didn't recognize you, come, come to my uncle, let me take a good look at you." ”

Liuning and Liubin glanced at each other, but hesitated and did not step forward, but just looked at Li Shimin fixedly, Li Junzhi's sarcastic voice made Li Shimin tremble, everyone was silent, and only listened to Li Junzhi say: "Hmph, you are a high-ranking emperor, and you still understand family affection in the world?" If you understand, your eldest brother, your younger brother, will die so miserably? How many other hurtful and unreasonable things you have done, I think only you know in your own heart. ”

Li Junzhi's tone was firm and had the power of the beak, Li Shimin was unexpectedly not angry, but sighed and said: "Alas, for so many years, I have been waiting for such a day, thinking that one day, God will definitely send someone to punish me for the mistakes I made back then, but I have been waiting for more than ten years, I thought that I would not wait, I originally thought that I would wait until a hundred years later, I would go to the underworld and confess my mistake to my eldest brother, but I didn't expect that you would come." ”

Listening to Li Shimin's tone, it seemed that he was repenting of his mistakes back then, and the people below did not speak, listening to Li Shimin continue.

"Back then, the change of Xuanwumen, as you know, I killed my eldest brother with my own hands, my younger brother, in these ten years, I have not forgotten this incident for a day, whenever I think about it again, I have a bad conscience, I have done my life's work to govern the country, just to forgive my eldest brother and Datang."

"At that time, I was still so young, in the war of the Sui Dynasty, I made great contributions, my father created the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that I made great contributions, my father promised me that if he could become the emperor one day, he would definitely make me the prince. At that time, I was full of joy and hope. ”

"I have a lot of beautiful imagination about the Tang Dynasty, I think, when I become the prince, I will definitely share the worries for my father, and when I take over the burden of the Tang Dynasty from my father, what my brother and younger brother want, I will give them something, they want to idle clouds and wild cranes, I will give them a lifetime of glory and wealth, let them be at ease, they want to fight side by side with me, we will jointly manage the foundation left to us by our father, and create a prosperous era of Datang. I never thought about competing with them for anything, and I never thought that I would kill them with my own hands......"

"But I didn't expect that my father broke his promise, after my father ascended the throne, he set up the eldest brother as the crown prince, in fact, when my father talked to me, he said, the young and the old are orderly, he handed over the military power to my hands, and the political power was handed over to my eldest brother, which can be regarded as a check and balance, the brothers work together, and their profits are cut off, I obeyed my father's arrangement, and I didn't have two hearts, I just want to concentrate on assisting the eldest brother, and when the Tang River really stabilizes, I will ask the eldest brother for a sum of money, and be an idle prince, from now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let me do it."

"But I didn't expect it to get so fast......"
