Datang start shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 647: Ask Zi'an If You Have Undecided
"You're hurting yourself about Yu'er..."

Although he didn't give him a good face, he lost the banter in his tone just now.

Li Shimin nodded silently, a trace of bitterness flashed across his face.

"Aye thinks, how should we deal with it?"

Li Shimin looked at his father with complicated complexion, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"He is your son, and even more so, your courtier. How do you think you should deal with it—"

Looking at Li Shimin with a bitter face, Li Yuan also had mixed feelings in his heart. He sighed softly, and suddenly he didn't want to take the opportunity to ridicule him.

"I thought, seeing your end today, I might feel a little bit happy in my heart—but, no, I feel even more uncomfortable..."

As Li Yuan said, he patted Li Shimin's shoulder lightly.

"As the king of Yan, he raised his troops to rebel. Naturally, he will die a hundred times without redemption, but he is not only the king of Yan, but also your son and my grandson. If you kill your son, you will kill my grandson—our old man Li family, isn't it enough that this kind of tragedy of brotherhood, father and son thieves once happened?"

Li Shimin raised his head to look at Li Yuan, but Li Yuan didn't look at him anymore, he waved his hand, turned and left.

The sound came from afar.

"I'm just an old man who lives deep in the Taiji Palace and doesn't care about worldly affairs. You are now the helm of this country. You still need to decide what to do. No one can make this decision for you. I only hope that you will not regret it. -"

The back is a little inexplicably sad.

In a daze, he recalled the scene when he brought people into the Tai Chi Palace in the past.

"Today you kill brothers and brothers, disobey the king and father, and do such outrageous things. You are not afraid. In the future, your descendants will learn from you and do the painful things of brotherhood, father and son?"

My father's hoarse accusations are still vivid in my memory.

And his son had already sharpened his knife and aimed at him.

Could it be that retribution is not enough...

He couldn't help sighing, and slightly closed his eyes.

He was so preoccupied that he didn't even notice the direction in which his father left.

……

Yangzhou.

Governor's Office.

back yard.

Li Tai's bloated body was propped on the chestnut shell-colored railings of the pavilion, staring blankly at the white walls and gray tiles, green clumps of bamboos in front of him, and he hadn't moved for a long time.

The guards behind him looked nervous, fearing that His Royal Highness would break the railing and fall into the pool under him.

At this moment, there was a familiar sound of footsteps at the courtyard gate.

Seeing people, several guards couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The big celebrity Cui Xiangzhi in front of His Royal Highness King Wei.

"Cui Changshi—"

Several guards hurriedly bowed to salute.

Cui Xiangzhi nodded modestly with a smile.

"Is Your Highness in there?"

"Yes, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I will report to you——"

There was a flattering smile on the head of the guards.

"Cui Changshi is here, right? How many times have I told you that Cui Changshi is here, just ask him to come over, you bastards—"

Before the notification here, Li Tai's displeased voice sounded from the other side.

Cui Xiangzhi smiled apologetically at the guards.

"They are also responsible, why should His Highness be harsh..."

Cui Xiangzhi replied with a smile, nodded slightly at several guards, and walked in.

"As expected of being a child of the Cui family, this kind of open-mindedness is really admirable——"

Looking at the back of Cui Xiangzhi leaving, several guards couldn't help admiring secretly.

"I have seen His Highness—"

Cui Xiangzhi smiled and bowed to Li Tai.

"Brother Cui, how many times have I told you that there is no need to be polite between you and me—come on, sit down and have a drink with me..."

Li Tai waved his hand, signaling Cui Xiangzhi to sit down and talk.Cui Xiangzhi was not polite, and sat down directly opposite Li Tai, picked up the jug, and asked while serving Li Taiman.

"Why is Your Highness so leisurely today, remember calling me to drink..."

While speaking, he suddenly twitched his nose.

"Hey, it turned out to be Erguotou——"

Li Tai raised his wine glass with a smile, touched Cui Xiangzhi lightly, then picked up the wine glass, frowned and took a sip lightly, before speaking.

"This is a good nose. This Erguotou is mellow and soft, with a fragrance of bamboo leaves, but it is also very strong. It really is a rare treasure. It's a pity that the father is holding the wine making recipe and refuses to disclose it. The distillery is not allowed to overbrew, and it is impossible to buy in the market. Even if it is the king, it is rare to get a few jars. This is also the Erguotou specially sent from Chang'an by someone - when you leave later, remember to bring two jars... ..."

"Then I'll be disrespectful—"

Cui Xiangzhi thanked him with a smile, then raised his glass and took a sip carefully.

This Erguotou was too strong, with his drinking capacity, three liang was about the same. When he drank it with King Wei for the first time, he didn't know how deep it was, and he got drunk for several days.

Therefore, although he liked the sweetness and softness of this wine, he didn't dare to let it go.

The two drank together silently for three rounds before Li Tai put down his glass and breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to the itinerary, King Yan should have entered Beijing today—"

Although Datang Evening News is published every day, and then quickly distributed to various places through post stations in various places, even so, it will take seven or eight days before it reaches Yangzhou.

This is still fast. If there is an unexpected situation in the middle, or it is rainy or snowy, sometimes it will be delayed for more than half a month.

Therefore, the news he got was relatively lagging behind.

Cui Xiangzhi paused slightly with the hand holding the chopsticks, pondered for a while, and simply put down the chopsticks, saying seriously.

"Your Highness is still worried about King Yan?"

Li Tai nodded slightly.

"Although he is useless, he is my brother after all..."

Cui Xiangzhi was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly.

"The king of Yan used his ministers to defeat the emperor, and his son to defy his father. He disregarded loyalty and violated filial piety. When he returns to Beijing this time, he may end up in dire straits..."

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but remain silent.

Holding on to the table, he stood up with some difficulty, walked to the edge of the pavilion, supported the two poor railings again, looked back sadly, and looked in the direction of Chang'an. After a long time, he sighed.

"People's hearts—"

Behind him, Cui Xiangzhi remained silent.

A group of guards in the distance looked nervous, fearing that the two railings would suddenly break.

"Fortunately, Your Highness has lost some weight recently..."

The leader of the guards secretly rejoiced in his heart, and then wondered if he wanted to ask the carpenter from the governor's mansion to come over to strengthen the railing.

……

Li You was escorted back to Beijing.

It was like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake. Not only was Li Tai, who was far away in Yangzhou, worried about what would happen to his idiot brother, but the civil and military officials in the court were also like sharks smelling fishy. , jumped out one after another.

No matter what kind of thoughts.

However, memorials demanding severe punishment of the traitor Li You flooded the Hall of Liangyi like snowflakes.

What's more, many people set their sights on the East Palace.

Therefore, the letter asking the prince to come forward and ask the court to severely punish the traitors also floated to the East Palace.

The officials of the East Palace didn't care to hide this kind of thing from Li Chengqian, so they went to the North Camp and invited Li Chengqian out.

Li Chengqian vomited blood depressedly.

If I want to take care of this kind of shit, why don't I hide in the camp?
But don't care what kind of thoughts those people have, since they have found themselves, there is no way for them to continue to dodge.

After returning to the East Palace, they immediately summoned all the officials including Wei Zheng, Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Zhang Ruosu and others.

Wei Zhengren was still studying rice on the ground, but Li Chengqian sent someone to invite him back.

From his heart, he resisted, but who made him hang up his post in the East Palace?

"Does this matter still need to be discussed? Although King Yan is His Majesty's parent and son, but he disobeyed his superiors, used his ministers to defeat the king, and used his son to rebel against his father. He is unfaithful and unfilial, and violates human relations. Naturally, he should be severely punished according to the law—"

I haven't seen him for a while, Wei Zheng's face turned darker, but his body became stronger. Only that stinky face was still accompanied habitually, but it was probably because he was away from the court for a while, and he squatted in the fields all day long. Because Menzi wanted to research high-yielding hybrid rice, his demeanor was much calmer, and the unwashed soil between his fingers and the front of his clothes made him look like a serious old farmer, instead of the old life. The momentum of keeping people away.

However, the speech is still sharp and serious, hitting the nail on the head.

"According to the guilt, Yan Wang's side naturally needs to be severely punished, but His Majesty can say it, the officials can say it, but His Highness the Crown Prince can't say it, His Highness is not only the Crown Prince, but also the elder brother of King Yan, loyal, filial and fraternal, human relations, brother Once, as a brother, how can you blindly shout and shout?"

Although Kong Yingda had the title of an official of the Eastern Palace and rarely participated in the decision-making of the Eastern Palace, but today when she heard Wei Zheng's suggestion, she couldn't help frowning immediately, and was the first to stand up and object.

"The prince is benevolent and bears the high hopes of the people all over the world. How can his reputation be tarnished?"

Zhang Ruosu nodded in agreement.

"Veteran seconded—"

Yu Zhining couldn't help frowning slightly.

"If it is an ordinary brother, there is nothing wrong with the two of you discussing, but as the crown prince, His Highness will face the entire family, country and world in the future. He is not the father and brother of one person, but the father and brother of the world. How can it be because of an individual brother? The righteousness of the world, regardless of the righteousness of the world? The old man thinks that Secretary Wei's words are justified—"

……

Everyone, you said something, I said something. After arguing for a long time, the veins on your head were almost coming out of the fight, and you couldn't argue about right or wrong.

Li Chengqian's head grew dizzy listening to it.

Suddenly, a person came to mind.

If Mr. was here, surely he wouldn't be so entangled, right?

Just as he was thinking about how to end today's debate first, and find a way to ask Wang Zi'an for an idea, Wei Zheng suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Stop arguing, instead of arguing endlessly here, we might as well go to someone for an idea and see what he thinks..."

Hearing this, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining and Zhang Ruosu couldn't help but shine.

"You mean the Marquis of Chang'an?"

Then, several people looked at each other and smiled, showing a smile with a heart.

Zi'an's child is smart and wise, with a unique vision, and an unparalleled national scholar. What's more rare is that he is aloof, and regards fame and wealth as floating clouds. Such a person has directly jumped out of the barriers between the court and the world, and his views will naturally be more neutral.

Is there anyone more suitable than him?

You can't go wrong if you look for him!

Li Chengqian was thinking about this, so naturally he had no reason to refuse.

At that moment, several people hit it off, split into two groups, and went straight to the Marquis of Chang'an.

It is inappropriate not to divide troops. The identities of Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian have not been exposed yet, so it is not suitable to be with other people.

……

Seeing Li Shimin coming back from the outside with a restless look, Empress Changsun knew that he must still be worrying about how to deal with Li You, she moved lightly with lotus steps, and went forward to hold Li Shimin's hand.

"Erlang, I shouldn't have said too much about your good deeds, but there is always a rule for everything. Don't press it in your heart, and worry yourself to death—"

Li Shimin forced a smile on his face.

"Guanyin maidservant, don't worry, I'm fine, the matter will pass soon—"

As he spoke, he glanced at a brand new long dress on the table next to him.

"Is Concubine Yin coming to look for you again?"

Empress Changsun sighed softly and nodded slightly.

"I didn't allow her. You'er is different this time. What he violated is the law of the country. You and the imperial court will deal with him—"

Having said that, I couldn't help but sighed again.

"Sister Concubine Yin is also a poor person, you should go and see her later..."

Li Shimin had a headache.

While pinching the center of his eyebrows gently, he said a little irritably.

"Let's talk about this later—"

Seeing that Li Shimin was not in the mood, Empress Changsun tactfully changed the topic.

"Erlang, why bother here by himself, if you can't make up your mind, why don't you discuss it with a few Zaifu and see what their attitude is..."

Li Shimin sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Although they are resourceful, capable, know the law, understand the overall situation, and can help me properly handle all kinds of tedious government affairs in the court, however, they only have their family and country in their eyes, and only the court. They respect me and love me, but they don't know my status. What's on your mind—"

Empress Changsun couldn't help but remain silent.

As her childhood sweetheart's companion along the way, she naturally knew her husband's knots.

The courtiers were worried that if Li You, the king of Yan, was not severely punished, the latecomers would follow suit. However, he was worried that he already had a precedent of killing his brothers and persecuting his father. The imitation of future generations.

From now on, there will probably be a bloodbath in the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty.

Father is not father, son is not son, brother is not brother, brother is not brother, there is nothing more tragic than this...

However, Wang Zi'an didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would definitely complain about him.

Old Li, be confident and get rid of fear. Since you, your old Li family has never lost blood for this chair.And not only the father and son, brothers, but even the daughter-in-law went into battle shirtless, and the killing was turned upside down...

Confidant person?
Seeing that the worried expression on Li Shimin's face remained undiminished, Empress Changsun couldn't help but think of someone suddenly.

"If Erlang has no one to talk to, why not go to Zi'an—"

Speaking of this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but suddenly became enlightened.

"That child has always been independent, smart and wise, and has a unique vision. Maybe he can solve Erlang's problems..."

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his thigh, and stood up abruptly.

"Walk--"
