Chapter 667: Confinement

Li Er couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt a little emotion for the queen's courage in his heart, and met the queen's pleading gaze, Li Er nodded.

"Of course, he's your son, you can see him whenever you want!"

"Thank you, sage."

Empress Eldest Sun said softly, and Li Er sighed.

"Actually, I really want to see him, but I'm afraid that if I see him, I'm heartbroken!"

After all, the son wants to rebel against his father, and she can understand the emperor's complicated feelings, and her father's love is like a mountain! Empress Changsun held the emperor's hand tightly and said softly.

"Then the concubine will go to see Gao Ming on behalf of the saint."

Li Er nodded.

"It's good!"

Empress Eldest Sun turned around and commanded.

"Tell me to go down and prepare some food that the prince likes, as well as a few clothes."

The grandmother next to her hurriedly responded and arranged for the palace maid to prepare.

"Where does the saint want to place Gao Ming?"

Empress Eldest Sun asked, he hadn't thought about this yet, Li Er groaned.

"As long as it's near Chang'an, it's up to you, the queen!"

Since it is a confinement, it is natural that the bigger the place, the better, and the more beautiful the scenery, the eldest grandson queen muttered.

"The concubine thinks it's better to ask Gao Ming to see what he likes......"

Speaking of the best, the eldest grandson couldn't help but shake her head slightly, where can she like it? If you like a place again, you will get tired of not leaving for the rest of your life, Li Yong took the calf out of the city and ran all the way not long before he met Li Lizhen's car, Princess Changle, Princess Yuzhang, Princess Jinyang and King Li Zhi stayed in the same carriage, with a panicked face, fortunately, the princess's carriage was special, otherwise it was really a little crowded, and woke up early in the morning to know that the queen mother rode back to Chang'an overnight, Princess Yuzhang They knew that something terrible must have happened, and at this moment, Li Lizhi was not good to hide from them, Otherwise, they know how worried they will be! Princess Yuzhang and the others knew that the prince was going to rebel, and the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dignified, because they didn't know what was going on in Chang'an City, although they had some full confidence in their father, but they were still inevitably worried.

"Princess, it's Grandpa who is here!"

The guard who opened the road in front of the carriage shouted in surprise, Li Lizhen, who was worried in her heart, heard it as if she had finally found a backer in her heart, and hurriedly lifted the curtain, and saw Li Yong coming on horseback, her eyes were suddenly moist, God knows how tormented she has been in the past two days, especially this morning when she knew that the queen mother rushed back to Chang'an overnight, she was worried and blamed herself, not only Li Lizhi had found a backer, Princess Yuzhang, Li Zhi They have, Seeing Li Yong, it seems that he has the backbone, even if the sky falls, Li Yong will stand on top of him.

"Lang Jun! The queen mother returned to Chang'an overnight last night! ”

Li Lizhi said that her eyes were red.

"Brother-in-law, what is the situation in Chang'an now?"

Li Zhi hurriedly asked.

Li Yong came to the carriage and restrained Xiaohong, relieved.

"Don't worry! The saint is safe, the queen is also unharmed, and the prince, Hou Junji, Hou Selei and others have been put in prison. ”

Li Lizhen, Princess Yuzhang, Li Zhi and others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, what they were most worried about did not happen, Li Lizhen calmed down a little and asked.

"Does the prince's brother really have muskets and artillery? Was it thrilled last night? ”

Li Yong explained.

"There are indeed firearms, about seven or eight hundred muskets, and two artillery pieces, but they didn't play a role, it's not thrilling, the musket array was directly defeated, the artillery exploded, and the cavalry led by Hou Junji was directly defeated by the Duke of Qian, and the rebellion was quickly put down."

This process is indeed very easy, but when they thought that it was Li Yong who was guarding the palace ban, they were relieved, and yes, Li Yong was the ancestor of firearms, and the prince played with firearms in front of Li Yong. The rebellion was put down, so what next? Li Zhi asked nervously with a small face.

"Brother-in-law, the prince's brother, will it be, will it die?"

Princess Yuzhang sighed lightly.

"Rebellion is a capital crime, even if the father and mother love the prince, I am afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people."

Li Lizhi said worriedly.

"How sad and sad the queen mother should be, the queen mother rushed back all the way overnight, and after this blow, I don't know what happened to the queen mother, we should rush back as soon as possible, with us by our side, the queen mother will not be too sad."

Li Zhi listened and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, let them drive faster, let's hurry back to accompany the queen mother!"

The carriage has been speeding faster than ever, thanks to the cement road, although the cement road is smooth, but it is not up to the level of later generations, so when the carriage is too fast, it is still inevitable to bump, Princess Yuzhang shook her head slightly with her arms around her son.

"It's fast enough, it's dangerous to go any faster, and I'm afraid my son won't be able to stand the bumps!"

The son was born weak, and her face was already pale at the moment, but she still shook her head.

"I'm fine, let's rush back to accompany the queen mother as soon as possible!"

Li Yong said with relief.

"You don't have to worry too much, although I haven't seen the queen mother, but the queen mother should be fine, the prince was just demoted to a commoner and confined for a lifetime, and was not given death."

Li Lizhen and Princess Yuzhang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard this, they thought that the prince would definitely die, after all, rebellion is an unforgivable capital crime, but they didn't expect that the father just imprisoned the prince, even if the father would not execute the prince, then the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu actually agreed? However, this is a good thing after all, the prince is their brother after all, although he committed the crime of rebellion, but after all, there are so many years of family affection, of course they don't want the prince to be given death, but they are not good at pleading with their father, after all, the prince is to make his father's rebellion, which is not good for his father, and now even his father has forgiven the prince, but the prince is imprisoned, which is undoubtedly the best result, in this way, presumably the queen mother will not be too sad, they are also a lot more relieved, after peace of mind, they feel a little confused, Rebellion is a serious crime, and it can be said to be the most unforgivable crime, but I didn't expect that not only did my father forgive the prince's capital crime, but even the ministers had no objections, Li Lizhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief.

"We were scared to death along the way, we thought that even if the queen mother begged her father to forgive the prince, the ministers would not let the prince go!"

Princess Yuzhang asked.

"There must be a lot of noise in the court, right?"

She felt that even if her father wanted to forgive the prince, the ministers would not let go easily, so there must have been a fierce dispute in the court. Li Yong shrugged his shoulders slightly and said.

"It's okay, the saint is still a father and son, and he doesn't want to give the prince to death, but the ministers are all in one voice, for the law of the country, in order to warn future generations, the prince must be given to death."

Li Li wondered.

"Then why did you ...... in the end?"

Princess Yuzhang pursed her lips.

"It must be the county duke who is mediating this, right?"

Li Yong nodded and said.

"I just made a suggestion, try it out for the first time, if the prince still cares about the love of his father and son and just wants to force the saint to abdicate, then he will be dealt with lightly, if the prince wants to kill the king and kill his father regardless of the love of his father and son, then he should be executed."

Li Lizhen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded again and again.

"Lang Jun has a good idea, yes! If the prince's brother still cares about the relationship between father and son, then the father and the emperor can't bear to give the prince's brother to death, so to speak, the prince's brother launched a mutiny just to force his father to abdicate? ”

Li Yong bowed slightly.

"Yes, the sage personally went to the prison to ask Hou Junji, and Hou Junji said so, so the sage decided to choose a manor to imprison the prince, and he was not allowed to take half a step in his life."

Li Lizhi sighed lightly.

"That's fine, it's the best result for the prince's brother."

Princess Yuzhang looked at Li Yong with beautiful eyes and said curiously.

"I always felt that you and the prince's brother were a little discordant, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was you who broke the siege for him."

Li Yong explained.

"It's not that I'm not harmonious, it's just that I'm lazy, plus the prince lives in the East Palace, so I don't move around, but it makes the prince feel that I have an opinion about him, and I really deserve to die, I don't exonerate the prince for the prince, but for the queen's mother, think about the queen's mother is the most innocent, caught in the middle of the dilemma, the most sad, I am afraid that the queen mother is too sad and the body can't stand it."

Li Lizhi was very moved when she heard this, what she was most worried about along the way was the queen mother, because her father and Li Yong had already discovered the prince's brother's intention to rebel and had already prepared, so there would be no danger, but the queen mother must be very anxious and sad, and the queen mother's health was not good, what if she couldn't stand the blow and fell ill? The year before last in Jiucheng Palace, the queen mother was critically ill, if it wasn't for Li Yong's medicine, I'm afraid the queen mother would ......

"Jungong, thank you!"

Princess Yuzhang said earnestly, although she is only the adopted daughter of the queen mother, but the queen mother treats her like her own daughter, so she doesn't want anything to happen to the queen mother from the bottom of her heart.

"Brother-in-law, thank you, otherwise the queen mother wouldn't know how sad she was!"

Li Zhi also looked sincere, and even the youngest princess of Jinyang said in a milky voice.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Don't be so polite, this is what I should do!"

Empress Changsun walked into the prison, and a group of palace maids followed behind with food boxes and clothes and bedding, and the iron door of the cell was opened, Li Chengqian turned his head and found that the queen mother was outside the cell, Li Chengqian stood up with a pale face, and said a little smuttering.

"Queen Mother!"

Empress Eldest Sun walked into the cell, looked at Li Chengqian's pale face, and felt distressed and hated for him.

"Qian'er!"

This call of the eldest grandson queen contains too many complicated feelings, listening to this "Qian'er" Li Chengqian almost didn't cry, the queen mother has always called him this when he was a child, since he took the table word, the queen mother has always called him Gaoming, it has been too long and too long to hear the queen mother call him like this, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"The son has disappointed the queen mother, why did the queen mother come to this filthy place? The queen mother does not have to intercede with her father, the son has committed the great crime of rebellion, and the son has to bear it himself, it is nothing more than to die, and the son will be filial piety on the mother's knee in the next life! ”

Now, it's too late to talk about anything else, Empress Eldest Sun sighed lightly.

"Your father doesn't want to kill you!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he had committed the big crime of rebellion, his father even wanted to let him go, he calmed down in the prison for a long time, and his heart was already a little uncomfortable, and now when he saw his mother, he heard his mother say that his father didn't want to kill him, he was particularly uncomfortable, since he had made up his mind to rebel, he thought that he would die, Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"The sons are not filial, the great rebellion, and it is not a pity to die, even if the father does not want to kill the sons, presumably those courtiers who see the wind and the rudder will not let go of the sons, so please ask the father not to be embarrassed, the sons are willing to die to apologize!"

Empress Eldest Sun said with relief.

"Today in the morning court, Li Yong stepped forward and has persuaded the ministers."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, he had always hated Li Yong, after his musket array was defeated by Li Yong last night, he hated Li Yong even more, and felt that Li Yong was blocking his great cause, but he didn't expect that it was Li Yong who saved his life, for a while, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, this is really the biggest irony in life, Queen Changsun asked the maids to come forward and open the food in the food box.

"Qian'er, you must have not eaten for a day and a night, right? These are all favorites, so grab some of them! ”

Empress Changsun comforted, since he entered the prison, Li Chengqian did not eat a grain of rice, first, he couldn't eat the rancid rice in this prison, and secondly, he thought that he would die and was not in the mood to eat at all, now that he knew that he would not die, Li Chengqian suddenly felt hungry, Li Chengqian ate in a big gulp, and the food was very sweet, and the Empress Changsun looked at it from the side but felt a little sad, although Li Chengqian also loved to eat before, but he would not eat so sweetly, look at this dirty and broken cell, and then look at Li Chengqian's gobbling up, You can imagine how much he suffered, Li Chengqian ate for a while before he suddenly remembered something, looked up and asked.

"Queen Mother, what does the father plan to do with his sons?"

Empress Eldest Sun was silent for a moment and said softly.

"Confinement, you can't take half a step in your life."

Imprisoned for life? Li Chengqian heard that he had no desire to eat anymore, and said with a miserable face.

"If you want to confine your sons for a lifetime, life is better than death, then your father might as well give your sons to death!"

Empress Changsun burst into tears when she heard this.

"Qian'er, the queen mother gave birth to you and raised you, is it just to let you die? Have you never thought about how sad the queen mother was? You must live well, you can choose the place you are confined, you can go wherever you like, the queen mother can ensure that you can live a life of fine clothes and food for a lifetime, you can send someone to tell the queen mother what you want, and the queen mother will give it to you! ”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but think silently in his heart, being confined in Chang'an is better than being exiled to Lingnan, Li Chengqian sighed.

"The sons are not willing to give up the queen mother, so the queen will decide! Erchen only hopes to be closer to his mother. ”
