bastard seizes tang

Chapter 306

It was nearly noon when Li Chengqian was found from Yingyao Courtyard.

At noon, it was supposed to be lunch time, but now Li Chengqian didn't have any appetite.

Li Chengqian had just been called back from Yingyaoyuan, and he didn't even know why Li Shimin came to the East Palace to meet him, but he knew that when Li Shimin came to look for him, he went to Chongwen Hall first, so he already had a guess in his heart.

The first thing Li Chengqian thought of was Yu Zhining, the concubine of the prince Zuo. It's up to Li Shimin.

"Old man, if you treat me as emperor in the future, you will be the first one to kill after ascending the throne." Li Chengqian complained about Yu Zhining in his heart, and entered the Li main hall of the East Palace.

As soon as Li Chengqian entered the Lizheng Hall, he raised his eyes and saw Li Shimin standing in the middle of the hall. Li Shimin's face was dark and full of anger. Li Chengqian knew that scolding would be inevitable today.

"You go out first, I have something to say to the prince." After all, Li Chengqian is the prince of the country, and he must not lose his prestige in front of his ministers. When Li Chengqian entered the hall, Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, and first spoke to the people around him.

Chang Tu had followed Li Shimin for many years, knew his intentions, bowed in response, led the crowd to retreat, closed the hall door and left, leaving only Li Shimin and Li Chengqian in the entire hall.

From Chang Tu closing the door and exiting to Li Shimin speaking, it was only a short moment, but it was this short moment that made Li Chengqian feel as if he was in an ice valley, and his heart was chilled. He still has a long way to go back from Yingyongyuan.

"Father came to the East Palace suddenly. I don't know why?" After a while, Li Shimin didn't speak. Li Chengqian really couldn't stand the oppression in the hall, so he asked Li Shimin carefully first.

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian's face was pale and flustered, as if no one should have the bearing and appearance, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Li Shimin himself didn't know when did the eldest son who was respectful, filial, benevolent, diligent and good at learning, praised by the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, become like this.

"You've done a good job, let's see for yourself!" It was not Li Shimin's scolding that greeted Li Chengqian, but a memorial, and Li Shimin smashed the memorial in Li Chengqian's arms heavily.

Seeing that Li Shimin was so angry, Li Chengqian thought that this memorandum must be the memoir written by Prince Zuo Shuzi Yu Zhining or Du Zhenglun, but Li Chengqian picked it up and saw that the memo was signed by neither Yu Zhining nor Du Zhenglun. It was Quan Wanji who had been at odds with him in the past.

Quan Wanji served as the censor at the Yushitai. What did he do to Quan Wanji in the East Palace? Li Chengqian opened the memorabilia in confusion and read it. , It was actually his drunken words at the Eastern Palace Banquet a few days ago.

"boom!"

Li Chengqian's head seemed to explode all of a sudden, he knew very well what his words meant, his words actually reached Li Shimin's ears, no wonder Li Shimin was so angry.

"Father is clearly aware that this is Quan Wanji's slanderous words, there is absolutely no such thing." Li Chengqian looked at the memorial in his hand, knowing the consequences of admitting to this matter, he quickly denied it.

Looking at Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin felt as if he was on fire in his heart.As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could he allow others to slander the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty? Since he came here, he had verified the truth, but Li Chengqian didn't even understand these principles, and he was still here only thinking about sophistry.

Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian: "There is absolutely no such thing? Don't you want me to bring out your maidservants in the East Palace one by one and order the Ministry of Punishments to interrogate them one by one?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's expression turned extremely ugly. As the crown prince, if anyone in the palace could be interrogated one by one by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, no matter if he could get something out of the trial or not, his face would be humiliated.

What's more, Li Shimin was in front of more than ten maidservants serving in the palace that day, how could he seal the mouths of these ten people?

Li Chengqian had no choice but to say: "I dare not, I just talked nonsense that day when I was drunk and lost my sense of propriety, this is not my original intention."

Li Shimin said: "Could it be possible to talk nonsense after drinking? As a prince, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. The King of Chu is your brother. How can you be so malicious?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian froze suddenly and stopped on the spot. After a while, he realized that in Li Shimin's opinion, he had nothing to do with Li Ke's assassination this time.

But it is also true, the so-called revealing the truth after drinking, Li Chengqian said such words in front of the whole hall after being drunk, even if he is suspected of being the mastermind of the assassination of Li Ke this time, it is not an exaggeration.

Li Ke made a trick, but who would have thought that Li Chengqian himself would jump into it.

Li Chengqian hastily explained: "Father is aware that this son-in-law was just talking nonsense after drinking and lost his sense of propriety, but he definitely did not intend to murder the third brother. This time Luzhou assassinated, son-in-law didn't know anything about it."

Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian, and said angrily: "To this day, you still dare to deny it, do you really think I can be bullied, and dare not abolish you?"

The word "waste" was uttered from Li Shimin's mouth, and Li Chengqian felt his eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost passed out.

As the eldest son, Li Chengqian is most different from other princes in his status as a prince. If he is deposed from the position of crown prince and expelled from the East Palace, how will he stand in front of others in the future.

"Plop!" With a sound, as Li Shimin's words fell, Li Chengqian fell to his knees on the ground. He fell on the ground and cried to Li Shimin in tears: "I dare not lie to my father. The assassination of my third brother is a matter of death." The son-in-law is just talking nonsense after drinking, and he has absolutely no intention of murdering the third younger brother. I hope the emperor will see clearly, and the emperor will see clearly!"

While crying, Li Chengqian kowtowed to Li Shimin, his words were full of sorrow and timidity.

The original Li Shimin was indeed full of anger, and even thought of deposing Li Chengqian for a while, but those thoughts were all out of anger, and Li Shimin would not tamper with the foundation of the country, such as the prince, just because of a moment of impulsiveness.

What's more, now that Li Chengqian was crying and knelt down in front of Li Shimin, how could Li Shimin's heart be hardened.

There are several princes of Li Shimin, and Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li Zhi are all favored by them, but if it is really compared, no one can compare with the affection Li Shimin gave to Li Chengqian.

The eldest son, Li Shimin had placed a lot of hope on Li Chengqian when he was young, as can be clearly seen from Li Chengqian's name alone.Now that Li Shimin wants to throw away all his high hopes for more than ten years, how can Li Shimin himself bear it, and how can Li Shimin face the eldest grandson empress.

Tiger poison does not eat children, Li Shimin was able to kill brothers and brothers for the throne, but when he faced his eldest son, Ai'er, his heart softened.

"Whether the assassination is related to you or not, what you say and do is beyond the ranks of the king, so you can do it yourself." Li Shimin walked up to Li Chengqian, sighed, waved his hand and left without saying any more.
