Great Tang princess

Chapter 403 Mother and Daughter Argument
Sitting around and chatting, the topic of chatting came to Wei Lian'er's fake edict.

"Now the outside world will think that I did it, and Lian'er was locked up only because Auntie didn't like it..." Li Xian explained what happened.

Li Yuechen nodded while listening, mother's method is quite good, at least in this way, no one will doubt that the emperor and the god emperor may be together.

Wu Zetian picked up the teacup: "In any case, the queen's false transmission of the imperial edict is already suspected of treason, and she should be killed..."

"Aniang, haven't we settled this matter?" Li Xian became anxious when he heard it, and immediately begged, "I have already admitted this matter, how can I kill her with such a reason?"

"It's not that I insist on killing her." Now Wu Zetian has a lot more patience with her son, and explained carefully, "Sanlang, your mother knows what your temperament is. Now that I am holding you back, the queen will definitely not be able to turn the tide But in the future, when your mother dies, you alone will definitely not be able to suppress her!"

In fact, it can't be said that it can't be suppressed. Li Xian has always liked Wei Lian'er, and he might pamper her in the future. This is what she doesn't want to see.

"Don't worry, Ma'er, the boy will discipline her!" Li Xian quickly promised.

Wu Zetian gave him a blank look: "Can you control her? If you can control her, how can she do such a rebellious thing? What's more, she still acted without consulting you?"

"This..." Li Xian still wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Indeed, since Wei Lianer married him, he has never disciplined her. Because he likes her, he has always indulged her.

At this time, Li Yuechen said suddenly: "Aniang, since brother likes it, let's forget it. Don't worry about it in the future..."

"Aren't you worried?" Wu Zetian asked back, "A hundred years from now, the problems you will face will be the most troublesome!"

"How do you say that?" Li Xian asked puzzled.

"If I become the emperor, the next queens and princesses will want to learn from me and participate in political affairs. At that time, they will inevitably fight openly and secretly..."

Hearing his mother's explanation, Li Xian realized that this was indeed the case.

Once she becomes the emperor, the princesses in the future may also want to compete for the crown prince and live off the addiction of being an emperor.

However, Li Yuechen suddenly smiled: "Auntie is too worried. With children around, even if the empress is ambitious, she can't make waves. As for the future princesses, education will let them make their own judgments."

If it was in the original history, then what she was worried about might indeed happen.

But now the education of the royal family has been reformed, and the future princes and princesses will take another path that is completely different from the original history.

Therefore, Li Yuechen believed that what my mother was worried about would never happen because she was there!
……

Inside the camp, in Li Yuechen's office, Li Shen sat on a chair, staring at the tea in front of him in a daze.

Li Yuechen, who was sitting opposite her, leaned on the table with his elbows and asked: "A few days ago, a group of dead men attacked my camp, intending to kill the royal children in the campus. Uncle, who gave this order?"

Li Shen raised his head, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he shook his head: "It's not me."

"I don't even know the temperament of the feudal lords, does uncle have any clues?" Li Yuechen asked.

"No!" Li Shen replied indifferently, "Even if His Highness knows this, what's the use? Anyway, we are a group of dying people..."

Li Yuechen replied: "Because this kind of thing should be used as a lesson, so that they will never do it again!"

"A lesson?" Li Shen raised his head, flashing a sarcastic expression, "Back then Taizong..."

"So I taught them that what Taizong did was wrong! The younger generations should be warned instead of learning from mistakes and making mistakes again and again! Now that Li Yu and Li Jing are also in the campus, they can also learn from the mistakes of their uncle Li Chengqian !" Li Yuechen replied, "This curse of fighting with each other, it's time to end!"

Although Li Yuechen said it very solemnly, Li Shen couldn't help but let out a sneer: "It's over? Then how can we explain it? We only rose up under the order of the sage!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuechen fell silent.

It seemed that Li Xian and the queen's problems caused them to rebel, but she knew very well that even if Wei Lian'er did nothing, her mother would still try to force them to rebel.

It just happened that Wei Lian'er wanted to let the emperor seize power, so they met.

In fact, even without this edict, it is impossible for my mother to let them go, because if they don't die, her throne will not be secure!

"So we were all wrong!" Li Yuechen raised his head, looked into Li Shen's eyes, and replied word by word, "Future juniors, you shouldn't continue like this! Just because I did such a thing, So uncle wants me and other descendants to be engraved with this curse in their blood, so that it will be passed down from generation to generation?"

Hearing these words, Li Shen raised his head slightly, and glanced at her in surprise.

Looking at his expression, he seemed to be struggling a little, and he slowly replied: "Who gave the order, I really don't know... But in terms of temperament, it seems that King Langya is more likely..."

His tone was somewhat struggling, but he still said it.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Thank you uncle for your cooperation!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked the person next to him to take him out, and told him by the way: "During this time, uncle, please wait here with peace of mind, the matter will be over soon."

Li Shen stood up, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Can you answer me a question, Your Highness?"

"Uncle, please tell me!" Li Yuechen waved his hand to make the people next to him release him.

"I heard that the sentence of continuous sitting has been abolished, but we have committed the crime of treason after all..."

When he asked this sentence, his eyes revealed a trace of complicated emotions, and at the same time contained a trace of expectation.

Li Yuechen bit his lower lip and thought about it, then raised his head and replied, "Uncle, don't worry, your descendants will receive a good education, and at the same time, as the royal family, you will not be allowed to suffer from Ling Chi."

"Understood," Li Shen nodded, "Thank you Your Highness!"

Seeing Li Shen being taken away, Li Yuechen let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little complicated.

But no matter what, once you have decided, you can’t stop doing it because of difficulties. You still have to go on this road firmly.

……

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was mid-August.

Geng Yunqiang returned to Dongdu with his troops, and at the same time brought back Lu Wang Li Lingkui, Huo Wang Li Yuangui, Langya King Li Chong and others.

The troops came back without any fanfare, and returned to the barracks in a very low-key manner. Then Shangguan Wan'er came over and brought all the kings involved in the conspiracy back for interrogation.

As far as the interrogation is concerned, there is actually nothing to be interrogated. The rebellion has become an established fact, and it is just a formality to put it bluntly.

In the interrogation room, Langya King Li Chong was sitting on a chair, looking at Li Yuechen opposite him expressionlessly.

Now Li Chong is only in his thirties, in the middle of his prime, but because of his beard, he looks a bit old, but he has a good complexion, and his eyes are piercing.

He has a well-proportioned figure, and he can even see obvious muscles on his arms. This is a proof that he has been fully exercised, and he doesn't look like the legendary son of the prince's family.

Looking at Li Yuechen, who was only in his early 20 years, Li Chong was expressionless: "Now that everything is clear, what else do you want to ask, Your Highness?"

Although his expression was calm, there was still a trace of anger and unwillingness hidden in his tone.

"A few days ago, those dead soldiers who wanted to kill the children of the royal family in the campus were yours?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Yes!" Li Chong admitted without any concealment.

"Why do you want to do this?" Li Yuechen asked.

Li Chong seemed surprised that she would ask such a stupid question, and asked instead, "Don't you know, Your Highness?"

Li Yuechen took a deep breath: "Just to find a way to get rid of my military power, so you ordered to kill many of my royal children?"

Sitting opposite Li Chong could hear the anger in her tone, he nodded, "Yes! Your Highness is extremely capable and invincible, so naturally..."

"Enough!" Li Yuechen interrupted him suddenly.

Hearing his relaxed tone, he knew that he definitely didn't take this matter too seriously. Perhaps in his view, it was nothing more than killing a few juniors. Anyway, as long as the big things are done, women will have as many as they want, and children will naturally Can also regenerate.

Listening to his words, Li Yuechen uttered a sentence - I am like an old man, if I want to cook, I will be lucky to share a piece of my pie!

Li Yuechen will never understand the thoughts of such a heroic figure, nor will he allow himself to understand!
She didn't say anything more, got up and walked out of the interrogation room.

Outside the interrogation room, Shangguan Wan'er had been guarding the door, and when she saw Li Yuechen coming out with an uneasy face, she hurried over: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Li Yuechen shook his head, unwilling to say more, but took her by the hand and left the secret guard headquarters.

……

The next day, at the court, Wu Zetian announced that all the kings had rebelled against each other. They had all been arrested and brought to justice, and the evidence was solid. They all pleaded guilty and were sentenced to death!

Considering that it is the royal family after all, it was executed in a secret place and not shown to the public!

The ministers were silent. From the rebellion of the kings to the arrest, the speed was extremely fast. Even before they received the news, the matter was over.

At present, the power in the hands of the God Emperor is unprecedentedly concentrated, and no one dares to jump out and touch her bad luck at this time.

In the past few days, they have all received news that the rebellion of the kings was initiated by the emperor's edict. Now the emperor is still under house arrest, and they don't know what the situation is.

They are not worried that the Emperor of God dares to kill the Emperor, but I am afraid life will not be easy.

Although I don't know how the emperor dealt with it, the empress has been imprisoned in the cold palace by the god emperor with an excuse of disrespecting her elders.

To be reasonable, the empress is under house arrest together with the emperor every day, even if she wants to greet you, she can't do it, right?So this charge of disrespecting the elders is purely fake!
Obviously, this is for the emperor to see. Although I can't do anything to you, I can lock up your wife!

According to the gossip from the little eunuchs in the palace, it seems that the God Emperor planned to kill the Empress, but it seems that Princess Taiping stopped him...

Of course, this news was released by Shangguan Wan'er under Wu Zetian's order. The purpose was to let the ministers have a judgment on the current internal situation of the royal family as she expected.

The conflict between the emperor and the emperor is irreconcilable, and Princess Taiping is in the middle of it, and she doesn't want them to fight each other.

Many ministers sighed in their hearts, Li Tang's royal family may be exhausted!

……

In the Hall of Renshou, Wu Zetian was discussing with Li Yuechen about the execution of the kings.

"Poison killing?" Wu Zetian asked back, then shook his head: "No! They are committing treason, it's not bad if they don't show it to the public, and they don't Ling Chi!"

The idea proposed by Li Yuechen is that each person should be given a glass of poisoned wine. Although there is no chemically synthesized poison in this era, there is already a highly effective and fast-acting poison.

It takes two or three minutes to finish it in one bite, which is very fast and less painful.

"Then what does Aunt mean?" Li Yuechen asked.

Wu Zetian thought for a while: "At least you have to be killed with a stick!"

Hearing this answer, Li Yuechen instinctively felt that it was not good.

The so-called "stick death" in this era is not to be beaten to death with a stick on the head, but to be beaten to death. The victim is often beaten to vomit blood, and the death is extremely painful.

"After all, they are all members of the royal family, so why can't we let them die more happily?" Li Yuechen asked back.

"Since ancient times, the death penalty has been used to deter and warn! How can a glass of poisoned wine be effective?" Wu Zetian also asked.

Li Yuechen took a deep breath: "Aniang, their death is not to frighten anyone, but as a lesson to the younger generation!"

"For their descendants, we are enemies!"

"Because of this, they need education even more!" Li Yuechen retorted, "Don't worry, Auntie, that they will seek revenge in the future. With me here, it's fine!"

Seeing her daughter arguing with him, Wu Zetian sighed and waved his hands: "Forget it, it's up to you! Since you are sure, then listen to you!"

"Thank you Ma'er!" Li Yuechen saluted and agreed.

To be honest, it is not easy for this cruel and skilled mother to make such a concession.

Seeing that the matter was over, Shangguan Wan'er at the side was terrified.

Just now she kept giving Li Yuechen winks to tell her not to quarrel with the emperor, but she kept fighting with her as if she didn't see it.

That is her, if this is given to others, who dare to argue with the emperor like this, how many heads are not enough to cut off!

"You don't need to thank me, you have grown up now." Wu Zetian replied, "Originally, you should be allowed to sit on the throne, and being a mother is just sitting for you."

"Auntie..."

"No need to explain, it's the truth!" Wu Zetian raised his hand with a smile and touched her head, "Whether it's me or your grandpa, I believe that you will definitely make Datang better and stronger! So no matter what How about it, my mother will definitely support you!"

Hearing his mother's words, Li Yuechen's nose felt a little sour. After all, it's not easy for parents in the world.

The reason why my mother sat on this dragon chair was to clear up the obstacles for her, clear the way, so that her future reform plan can be carried out smoothly, even at the expense of infamy...
