227. The Angry and Aggrieved Emperor (I)
Not to mention the eldest grandson Anye, but to say that Liu Deyu was ridiculed by Wei Chi Jingde, he involuntarily lowered his gaze, closed his eyes, and showed a touch of helplessness and sadness on his face.
He has followed Li Shimin for many years, and has followed him all the way to the south and the north, and I don't know how many miracles Li Shimin has created, so he naturally knows his skills.
He knew that the chances of victory in this mutiny were slim, but he never thought that he would be so defeated and complete.
The contest between the two of them, like a toddler and a giant, seems so ridiculous and ridiculous......
He knew that this was a road of no return, but he still walked on without hesitation.
Just because he owed a great favor to the hidden prince Li Jiancheng back then, Li Jiancheng had a great favor to his father, and he had never participated in the struggle between the Qin Wangfu and the Prince's Mansion.
Because of this, he didn't know anything about the Xuanwu Gate, and he didn't participate in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
However, after Li Shimin took the throne, he did not forget these old people, although the old generals of the Qin Mansion who had not participated in the Xuanwu Gate were not knighted, most of them were in important positions.
More than a year ago, when he suddenly heard the news of Li Jiancheng's death, he was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but think of his father's earnest advice before his death, so that he must repay His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness in the past.....
For more than a year, his mood has been very contradictory and complicated, His Majesty has the grace of knowing him, Prince Yin has the grace of saving his father's life, both parties are benefactors, and he doesn't know how to choose.
Until a few months ago, Li Xiaochang found him, and he suddenly found that maybe this choice was the most suitable for him, no matter what the outcome was, he could be regarded as doing his best for Prince Yin, and after he died, his father under Jiuquan should no longer accuse him.
Don't talk about Liu Deyu's thoughts, but talk about Li Shimin, when Wei Chi Jingde detained Li Xiaochang, Feng Deyu and the eldest grandson Anye and others and came to report on him, his face sank suddenly, and his heart was even more angry.
Although today's palace mutiny was solved bloodlessly, with Li Xiaochang, a prince who is idle in Beijing and is not a member of the Li family, he has contacted so many people just because of his rebellious thoughts, how many people's interests are involved behind this matter?
"Jingde, don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, Li Xiaochang can say that Feng Deyu and incite the Praetorian Guard, there must be countless people involved behind this, I also want to see how many people in this capital are secretly plotting, peeking at me and the chair behind me." Li Shimin's face was as gloomy as water, and he said coldly.
Wei Chi Jingde listened to the murderous intent hidden in his words, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, Your Majesty is really angry!
"Well, this matter will have to wait until the next year, this is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, except for the people on duty, everyone else will return." Li Shimin sulked for a while, remembered what day it was, softened his face slightly, and said to Wei Chigong.
"The minister retired." Yu Chi Jingde arched his hand and turned to leave.
"Erlang, but what's going on outside?" When Li Shimin came back, although he tried his best to adjust his mood, his face was still a little unnatural, and the Emperor Li Yuan couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"It's nothing, it's a trivial matter, it's been settled, wait for the son to accompany his father to finish lunch, and then discuss with his father about the evening's food and the courtiers' banquet." Li Shimin glanced up at his father and said with a smile.
At this moment, he almost couldn't help but wonder if there was a shadow of him behind Li Xiaochang, otherwise, where did this Li Xiaochang come from so much courage to wantonly pull into the commander of the forbidden army and incite the forbidden army to launch palace soldiers?
Even if they succeed in the mutiny, can they still take the Tang Dynasty with his piece of material?
The moment Li Shimin's gaze swept over Li Yuan's body, Li Yuan's back was inexplicably cold, and he always felt that his son's gaze was not very kind, could it be that I was old and hallucinated?
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin again with suspicion, but what fell into his eyes was a kind smile.
It's just that, maybe it's my delusion, although Erlang's temperament is a little unruly, but he is still relatively filial to my father, and over the years, except for Jiancheng and Yuanji, he has not done anything against himself.
Now that he has abdicated and made way for Xian, he has never interfered in political affairs, whether Erlang is based on filial piety or leaving a name in the annals of later generations, it is unlikely that he will have any bad feelings about himself for no reason, Li Yuan shook his head, and quickly shook off the discomfort in his heart.
Li Xiaochang's matter was solved by Wei Chigong silently in Xuanwu Gate, and the soldiers present were all given gag orders, and Li Yuan didn't know about it.
But the eldest grandson, who knew that her husband was a person, noticed Li Shimin's abnormality.
After accompanying the Emperor Taishang to finish lunch, he came back from the Taiji Palace, and after entering the sleeping palace, the eldest grandson Empress quietly asked Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you went out for a while when you were in the Taiji Palace, but what happened outside?" ”
"Li Xiaochang and Liu Deyu colluded to rebel, if it weren't for Jingde discovering the abnormality of the forbidden army, the alarm would be fast, and you and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here and talk today." Li Shimin no longer hid his emotions in front of his wife, and replied with a calm face.
"What? This Li Xiao is often favored by the emperor, how could he have such a heart? And that Liu Deyu, if I remember correctly, he has been with His Majesty since the second year of Wude, and he ...... "Empress Changsun was taken aback.
"Liu Deyu's father once received the great favor of Prince Yin, I am not surprised that he has this choice, I am surprised that Li Xiaochang, what is he so virtuous and capable, can he contact so many people to rebel with him." Li Shimin squinted and said.
Li Changsun Huang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he subconsciously wanted to ask who else was involved, but for some reason, she looked at Li Shimin's face, and she didn't dare to say the words in her mouth for a while.
Such a big thing happened within the palace walls, it was impossible to completely hide it, and Li Shimin did not think of hiding it all the time, and during the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Li Shimin told everyone about it.
After hearing this, the courtiers at the banquet reacted differently, some were stunned and puzzled, some were indignant, and some were frightened......
Li Shimin sat on the sidelines and watched, and looked at the faces of all the princes and vassals in the palace.
Most of the former generals of the Qin Palace's mansion were confused or indignant, only the expressions of the eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji were very subtle, and when they first heard the news, their expressions seemed very calm, as if this matter had been expected by them.
But these two people are human spirits, and after perceiving Li Shimin's gaze, the expression on their faces immediately became indignant.
In the Li clan, there are many people whose faces are very unnatural, although they are trying their best to control it, they still have unconcealed fear and uneasiness in their eyes.
The most complicated expression was the Emperor Li Yuan, he suddenly heard this, first shocked and disbelieving, and then remembered that Li Shimin looked at himself in the Taiji Palace at noon today, good guy, he was really suspicious of himself as a father at that time!
