Chapter 15: Atonement for the Father
What a hypocritical man.
Crying and wiping tears on the surface, I don't know how to be happy in my heart?
Historically, Li Shimin's civil rule and martial rule are second to none among the emperors of all dynasties, but I didn't expect his emotional intelligence to be so high.
Li Tai wanted to comfort him a few words, but he felt that so many people couldn't talk to him as a hairy child.
Wei Zheng accompanied him with a few tears, and persuaded: "King Qin is so sad, presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also understands you under Jiuquan, the Si people are gone, and it is meaningless to be sad anymore." ”
"No, you don't understand our brother's feelings."
Li Shimin couldn't stop crying, and after a while, he fainted.
Just acting, why bother? If you overdo it, it's tantamount to fake.
Li Tai was shocked and shouted at everyone: "Where is the imperial doctor? Hurry up and save my father. ”
A eunuch replied: "King Yidu, the crown prince is immortal, and those imperial doctors are afraid to avoid it, and there are still imperial doctors here." ”
Li Tai's heart was tight for a while, but he couldn't make any mistakes, if Li Shimin had three longs and two shorts, then there would be nothing to do with him Li Tai. Even if he wants to be crowned the crown prince, there are still Li Chengqian and Li Ke who are older than him.
Thinking in his heart, he quickly helped Li Shimin up, and pinched his middle a few times with his hand, but fortunately, Li Shimin eased up and opened his eyes, but he was still sad.
Such a scene seems to be a copy of Zhuge Liang's filial piety in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the difference is that Zhuge Kongming is a courtier of Shu, while Li Shimin is the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
"Father, mourning, how can you be so sad that the deceased can feel at ease?"
Because he was in a hurry, Li Tai was completely in the tone of an adult.
"Tai'er, you can kowtow a few more times for your father, let him understand my difficulties, and don't hate me under Jiuquan."
"Yes."
Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian, who was standing on the side, his eyes had been wandering over several palace maids wearing linen and filial piety, and his eyes showed extreme envy.
This person doesn't have any scruples about making such a situation in such a place?
Li Tai bent down and knelt down, knocked a few times, and muttered: "Uncle, my father is a benevolent and righteous man, and he has his unspeakable. If you want to blame, blame me, my nephew is willing to guard the tomb for three years. ”
"Tyre!"
Li Shimin didn't expect Li Tai to say such a thing.
It is undeniable that it was he who killed his brother, and his subordinate Lieutenant Chi Jingde shot Li Yuanji, no matter how flowery the rhetoric is, it can't hide the hard facts.
Now, what he wants is to buy people's hearts. Especially the hearts of the crown prince and the old ministry of King Qi.
He knows that water can carry a boat and it can also capsize a boat. What he wants is not only the country of Datang, but also the hearts of the people.
At this juncture, his son wants to guard the mausoleum for Li Jiancheng, can he promise it? But he is still a child, how can he leave his parents and live in the wilderness?
Seeing Li Shimin's embarrassed face, Li Tai felt a burst of joy in his heart, he really loved his son as his life.
His performance not only did not change him, but strengthened his determination to guard Li Jiancheng's mausoleum.
Time is running out, and according to historical records, Li Yuan will be in him three months later. He must fight for his approval before that.
"Father, the crown prince is my uncle, and it is the duty of the child to guard the tomb for him."
"But you're so young?"
Li Tai said: "It's not small, the child is about to be seven years old, and in ancient times, how many children of my age served as the king of a country. Father, you are like brothers, and the child is willing to give his uncle a ride for his father. ”
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with tears, and he said: "Okay, that's a good point, your uncle Jiuquan is also pleased, and your father allows you to keep a vigil for him." ”
"King Qin, King Yidu, we thank you for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
All those present knelt down, and they almost didn't shout hooray.
"Everyone, today in front of the prince's coffin, I tell you, you are all the prince's old department, in the process of his life and growth, spilled blood, today's battle of Xuanwumen, you fight for the prince and me, I will not blame you, each is his master, this is human nature, in the future, I will treat you like the prince to you."
Silent.
"I know you have a lot of prejudices about this. I, Li Shimin, am a fair and upright person, about the position of the crown prince, the emperor once promised to give it to me, but he regretted that the position of the crown prince was sealed to Li Jiancheng, it was he who treacherously came first, and I did this today just to get back what belonged to me. ”
Still no one spoke.
The masters are all dead, where is their turn to speak here?
These people are really self-aware.
Wei Zheng frowned tightly and said, "Today is the death day of the crown prince, can King Qin say a few words?" The deceased is the greatest, so let him go on the road with peace of mind. ”
"Okay, I'm a little emotional, Lord Wei, the prince's future affairs will be handled by you, I still have something to do, let King Yidu guard his spirit here."
After speaking, he stroked Li Tai's head, and then took Li Chengqian and Li Ke away.
The three sons of the Li family, leaving him here alone, will they be taken hostage by these people?
Li Tai was a little apprehensive in his heart, but since he had already let go of his words, it was not easy to take it back.
Another elder walked up to him and asked, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the king of Yidu is becoming more and more sensible, I heard that the king of Yidu likes to write, and there is a chance for the old man to see and understand?" ”
"Don't dare, Li Tai is young, and if he likes calligraphy, he is only Ye Gong's good dragon, how dare he show it?"
"Oh, at a young age, his words are respectful, but he is different from other sons."
Li Tai was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that the changes that have occurred in Li Tai can also be hidden from the world, which is really congratulatory.
At midnight, the eldest grandson Wuwu sent Ying'er to take care of him.
Li Tai was grateful in his heart, although he was mentally mature, he was just a milky child, where had he ever seen such a scene, let alone being alone in the East Palace under such circumstances.
At night, Ying'er leaned beside him and asked in a low voice: "Second son, I heard that King Qin said that you are going to guard the tomb for the prince?" ”
"yes, what's wrong? Isn't that bad? ”
"Of course it's good, but you are a child, can you stand it when you go to that kind of barren mountains and mountains? It's a place where it's freezing in winter and there's no place to heat up. ”
Li Tai replied: "I don't dare to make the conditions so difficult, it is the responsibility of my nephew to guard the tomb for my uncle." Qin Wangfu has an elder brother to accompany his father and mother, and he will not feel lonely. ”
"Second son, if you are willing, I am willing to go with you to serve you, how about it?"
When Li Tai heard this, his heart rejoiced.
He just wanted to cover up Li Shimin's bad deeds and prove his innocence and affection.
Could it be that one of his nephews would willingly guard his mausoleum?
"Yes, of course I do. However, I don't know if my mother is happy or not? ”
"That's what she wants, let me see what you mean, since you agreed, I'll go back tomorrow to pack my bags."
There are really not many good things like going to Shouling to be accompanied by beautiful women.
