"Say it."

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, frowning slightly.

He hated the feeling that he couldn't make a fart with a stick...... Boys, especially the future successors of the Tang Empire.

It shouldn't be like this.

If it were Li Ke or Li Tai, it wouldn't be Cheng Qian's appearance.

"Tell him!"

Xu Fenglei pressed Li Chengqian's shoulder, and said with a full of anger,

"Reason travels all over the world! We are reasonable, we are filial sons! What are we afraid of? ”

"Say! Shame your father! Let him blame himself, let him feel that what he did is really not done by people! ”

Li Shimin: "......"

He really wants to shout at Xu Fenglei, you damn me, shut up!

But thinking of his cousin Yang Guang, he still endured it.

At this time, Li Chengqian, with the layers of buffs given to him by his master, finally mustered up the courage and looked at Li Shimin fiercely!

"I shoot arrows to pray for the blessing of the queen mother!"

He said aloud,

"I also want to do something for the queen mother, and I am also sad to see her lying on the sickbed! Then I have no other way, I can only ......"

Li Chengqian spoke, his tone weakened, and he began to sob.

Li Shimin listened to it, and his expression was also a little strange.

"What does praying for a blessing have to do with shooting geese?"

He couldn't help but ask.

When Xu Fenglei heard this question, he couldn't help but touch his nose.

The relationship between the two is like that between Kaspersky and Pakistan.

There is a kiba relationship!

But.

There are times when the thinking of a young man is not understandable to adults.

"Of course there is a relationship between the two!"

Xu Fenglei said confidently,

"There is a saying in Buddhism called vows! What the prince did was actually a vow! ”

The geese in the sky are not so easy to shoot, and he takes this as a wish, and he also wants to do his best to fulfill his filial piety! Even if it's just to give yourself a little comfort and a little comfort to your mother after success! ”

"Isn't that a form of filial piety? Isn't it worthy of commendation? ”

LI Shimin; “……”

He had a feeling that Xu Fenglei was talking nonsense, but there was no evidence.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji also hurriedly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the Taishi is right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intentions are good, and he is filial to his mother. ”

"This is a good thing, and if it is publicized, it can become a beautiful talk."

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

In fact, Li Chengqian's explanation sounded outrageous, and he would not accept it under normal circumstances.

But with Xu Fenglei's foreshadowing, coupled with the assistance of the eldest grandson Wuji at the moment, he also figured out the taste-

The heart of a son is good and filial.

It's just reckless and reckless, and doing bad things.

And this matter is not too bad, it is nothing more than that the arrow landed wrong, which made a misunderstanding.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart was also a little more relaxed, and his gaze at Li Chengqian was also much softer.

“…… Don't do anything like this again in the future. ”

Li Shimin beckoned to Li Chengqian, and said with a straight face,

"Even if you have to make a vow, you can't use weapons in the palace."

"This time you were lucky not to hurt anyone. If you hurt someone, that's another story! ”

"Did you hear that?"

Li Chengqian was silent.

Xu Fenglei sneered.

"Your Majesty, this is obviously because you indiscriminately misunderstood Cheng Qian, and directly killed his personal attendant and sent him to the prison, why do you listen to it now, but it is all Cheng Qian's fault?"

He tilted his head and asked,

"Aren't you wrong at all?"

"How do I think that you are the most impulsive and wrong in this matter? You've killed someone! ”

"So now, isn't it...... Should you set an example first? ”

Xu Fenglei pointed directly at Li Shimin!

The implication is that you have to apologize first!

This rhetorical question undoubtedly made the hearts of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Junxian nervous.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji has seen a lot, when the Taishi and His Majesty quarreled, His Majesty was only the King of Qin!

And now, he has been the emperor for almost nine years! The first person in the world in nine years!

How can they be the same?

The state of mind of the past, and the state of mind of the present...... I'm afraid it's already changed!

He couldn't see Li Shimin's mood at the moment, and he couldn't analyze whether he would let go of the majesty of the emperor and his father's face to apologize to his son.

Li Junxian lowered his head even more at the moment, and his heart was pounding.

He didn't know why he was nervous, anyway...... It's just nervous!

And at this moment, Li Shimin's face was really gloomy.

"This thing...... I was really anxious and didn't ask clearly. ”

Li Er looked at Xu Fenglei and Li Chengqian, and said in a deep voice,

"But if you want to say that I am wrong, I don't think so."

"Either way, that arrow did fall into my bedchamber! It's a matter of course to be angry! ”

"In this matter, someone must stand up and bear the responsibility, the little eunuch who instigated the prince and came up with bad ideas, I think he should bear the responsibility!"

"So, I killed him, there was nothing wrong!"

Li Chengqian's lips squirmed.

He wanted to say something, but he was too cowardly to say it.

"Say whatever you want!"

Xu Fenglei supported Li Chengqian and said in a deep voice,

"With Master here, what are you afraid of!"

Li Chengqian clenched his fists, looked at his majestic and terrifying father, and said with tears:

"But he's my friend!"

"My father wants to beat me and lock me up, I don't have any opinion! But why did you kill him? Why? He's my friend! He just wants to help me! What is his sin? Why did you die like this? ”

That's not an ordinary slave, that's a close servant who has been with him for many years!

Both sides are emotional!

But the father didn't listen to any explanation, and directly killed his best friend!

From order to execution, from execution to scrubbing......

It only took a few breaths! It was so fast that he didn't even realize what was going on!

My friend's life passed away like this.

It wasn't until he was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, in that cold cell, that his thoughts recovered, and then ...... Great sadness and pain overwhelmed him!

Let's be honest.

My father has abused me thousands of times, and I don't think there is anything, this is the fate of being a prince, and I bear it silently, and I can adjust it if I can relax my mind once in a while.

But my father killed his partner!

That pain, that feeling of being wantonly destroyed, he couldn't accept it!

At this moment, Li Chengqian remembered the rabbit he raised when he was a child.

The rabbit that cultivated feelings and was ordered by his father to kill it with his own hands!

For a while, Li Chengqian's whole body began to tremble, and he almost stumbled and fell!

Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"It's just a eunuch! You actually befriended a eunuch? ”

He said disdainfully,

"You're the Prince! Li Chengqian, those are just slaves! How can you make friends with slaves? ”

The dignified prince regards the little eunuch as a friend?

If you say it, you will be laughed at!

Li Shimin admitted that he was too radical and should not have put Li Chengqian in prison and let him be tortured.

But for the matter of killing the eunuch, he felt that he was right!

No matter how much you say, that's just a eunuch!

The life of a slave or maid is worthless to him!

"Father! You! How can you do that! ”

"You always do! You never cared how I felt! ”

Li Chengqian burst into tears and yelled at his father for the first time!

His body was paralyzed!

"Cheng Qian!"

Xu Fenglei supported him, turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and his expression was solemn,

"Your Majesty, I think you should respect the child!"

Li Shimin's face turned cold.

"Why, do you want me to apologize to the dead eunuch?"

He was displeased,

"I admit that I went too far and did something bad to Cheng Qian, for which I can apologize."

"But, that's all!"

"Don't get an inch anymore!"

Xu Fenglei's complexion changed, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to quarrel!

It was the eldest grandson Wuji who felt the change in the atmosphere, hurriedly stopped Xu Fenglei, and looked at Li Shimin again:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is angry......"

"Taishi, you also extinguish the fire, we don't need to quarrel over a eunuch slave, do we?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince's feelings for the little eunuch are probably similar to those for cats and dogs, after all, he is a kind and affectionate teenager! The minister remembers that His Majesty is also very affectionate towards the slaves and maids of the Hidden Mansion......"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and was noncommittal.

"So, ah......"

The eldest grandson Wuji saw that what he said had an effect, so he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot,

"Everyone take a step back."

"Your Majesty has already apologized, and Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince will accept it."

"When the time comes, arrange a few clever little eunuchs to come to you, okay? Send a few considerate and attentive ones, and I will personally check the gates. ”

Li Shimin's expression softened slightly.

"Just listen to you."

He was also a little impatient and wanted to turn the page on this matter.

If it continues like this, it will definitely be a quarrel with Xu Fenglei, and it will be even more difficult to end at that time.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Chengqian again.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you think?"

He said as softly as he could,

"If you have any complaints, you can say that Uncle and Master will try their best to help you solve them."

"But don't be angry with your father anymore, he already has a lot of things, and your mother is sick, so he is in a bad mood."

"You...... Be considerate of him, too. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's operation can be said to be muddy.

Xu Fenglei didn't like to be with the mud, but thinking of the queen mother lying on the hospital bed, he naturally didn't want this contradiction to continue to escalate, so he was silent.

Li Chengqian pursed his lips, tears still falling.

"Master...... I ......"

He suddenly turned his head and sobbed in a low voice,

"I want to go to the queen mother."

Li Shimin frowned.

"No way!"

He said decisively,

"How can you go to your queen mother like this? Are you going to make your mother afraid? ”

"Don't go!"

Li Chengqian ignored his father, just raised his head to look at Xu Fenglei.

His eyes were red and swollen, and tears flowed as if they had burst the embankment, and Xu Fenglei was very distressed when he saw it.

"Queen Mother, don't go, she will definitely worry about you, it will not be good for her health."

He whispered,

"Don't you want to stay in the palace and don't want to see your father?"

"If that's the case, how about you go and stay with Master for a few days? I'll ask the girl in the house to make you something to eat. ”

"Okay?"

Today's Li Chengqian is already a half-grown young man, and he is even married.

But in Xu Fenglei's eyes, he is still a child.

A child who watched grow up on his own.

“…… Good. ”

Li Chengqian wiped his tears, took Xu Fenglei's hand, and was about to walk out.

In this regard, he did not feel twisted at all, but felt that the master's hand could bring him peace of mind and strength.

Da-da-da.

The two of them just said hello and left the upper study.

Li Shimin looked at their backs, poofed, and sat on the chair!

Looking at the cup of tea on the table, which was already cold, I felt the urge to pour it over!

But in the end, he endured it and commanded:

"Go warm up."

He had an upset stomach and couldn't drink cold.

Li Junxian hurriedly took the order and turned away.

Now that there are no eunuchs and maidservants in the study, this kind of errand of serving tea and pouring water naturally falls on his head.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin, whose face was cloudy at the moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, your emotions...... It's time to make some adjustments. ”

He admonished,

"For yourself, for the Queen, and for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Shimin nodded silently.

"I'm a little tired, so you can go back."

He waved his hand.

The eldest grandson Wuji naturally didn't grind, and turned around to leave.

But when he walked to the door, he heard Li Shimin command:

"Tomorrow...... You go to Xu Fenglei's side and see Cheng Qian. ”

"When it's about time, bring him back, the East Palace can't be empty."

Eldest Sun Wuji paused slightly, then nodded.

Your Majesty, I still love this son after all! It's just that his love is never shown, and what he usually shows is mostly harsh.

"And."

Li Shimin said again,

"Let the Praetorian Guards all be de-alerted, and restore normal order."

"Yes." The eldest grandson, Wuji, agreed.

This sudden control of the guards also made people panic, and many people's minds were not on business.

It's best to lift the nature, and everything can be restored back.

"Auxiliary ......"

Li Shimin muttered,

"I ...... Is it really wrong? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pretended not to hear this time, and left the upper study with his head down.

This kind of proposition, the emperor can just recite it himself, and he will never come up and answer it forcibly.

In the upper study, Li Shimin was the only one left.

He sat silently.

Li Junxian brought a cup of tea, but he didn't move, just sat like this.

It took a long time for a sigh to come out of his mouth.

"Perhaps......"

"Maybe I'm really wrong, but ...... I will never apologize, I can't really apologize to a eunuch who has been killed, right? ”

"Alas......"

Li Shimin suddenly felt very melancholy, so melancholy that he didn't want to do anything, and any government affairs in his hands became boring.

He suddenly remembered the rabbit he had forced Li Chengqian to kill.

All of a sudden, it was even more melancholy.
