Chapter 360
"Your Majesty's holy book, the minister's secret report: The crown prince inherits Qian and is the eldest son of his majesty. He is the key to the East Palace and the foundation of the state reserve. He is attached to him. All the people in the world are safe in the sea. However, the crown prince was young and stubborn. He didn't know the importance. It’s no different from a child, how can someone have the appearance of a king, how can he govern the people, and set an example for others? When the ministers hear it, they feel pain in their guts.”

Li Chengqian fell off his horse and broke his right leg. Li Shimin's heart was not at ease, but with an anonymous impeachment memorial sent from Yushitai, Li Shimin's heart became more and more unhappy.

What is said in this secret memorandum, carefully speaking, is true. Prince Li Chengqian is the most important thing for the country, so he needs to be cautious in his words and deeds, which is the right thing to do. But Li Chengqian lost his virtue first, and then lost his deeds , There is no such thing as a king.With Li Shimin capable of both civil and military affairs, with jewels and jade in front of him, Li Chengqian, the crown prince, really seemed too unbearable.

It's just that although these words are true, Li Shimin can listen to them in normal times, but now, at this juncture, no matter how Li Shimin looks at them, he feels that every sentence is slanderous, as if he is insinuating and slandering the prince. Bring the person who wrote the letter with evil intentions in front of him, and use a thirty-weight stick.

In Li Shimin's mind, the person who wrote the secret book is not a magnanimous gentleman, he must have another conspiracy. If not, if he is really concerned about the country and the people as he said in his own book, he should be as straightforward as Wei Zheng Admonish, rather than behind the scenes.

But this memoir is not the most deadly, what is fatal is that with this secret book entering the palace, under the instigation of interested people inside and outside the court, there seems to be rumors that the prince's virtue is not worthy and should be abolished.

Li Shimin also ordered Chang Tu to conduct a thorough investigation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Sanju was serious, but these things came like the wind in the mountains, without a trace, and how could they be caught if they wanted to catch them? The situation is even worse.

However, although no clues can be found out about this matter for a while, since the impeachment of the crown prince must involve a battle for the reserve position, those who build momentum must have a backup. Li Shimin is also waiting in the palace, waiting for who will be the first to be unable to sit still and reveal the truth. Come on.

While Li Shimin was sitting firmly on the fishing platform and waiting in the palace, a person finally appeared, but this person was something Li Shimin absolutely did not want to see.

Li Ke, king of Chu, is the most proud prince among Li Shimin's sons. No matter in terms of literary talent, martial arts, or fame in the court and the public, he is far from comparable to other princes. Seeing how he looked when he was young, Li Shimin loved him very much, not inferior to his son-in-law.

But today, at such an inopportune time, Li Ke appeared in front of Li Shimin, but Li Shimin was extremely disappointed, even a little painful. Li Shimin absolutely did not hope that Li Ke would be the one who seriously injured the prince behind his back.

But since the news of Li Chengqian's impeachment came out, among the princes, Li Ke was the first to come to see him, so how could Li Shimin not be worried.

"My son, Li Ke, pays homage to my father." Li Ke stood in the hall and bowed to Li Shimin who was sitting in front of him.

Although Li Shimin felt a little disappointed, Li Shimin raised his hand before Li Ke spoke, and said to Li Ke: "Ke'er is here, get up quickly."

"Thank you, father." Li Ke thanked him and stood up.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke, and asked Li Ke, "Why is Ke'er here today?"

Li Ke said: "My son came here to impeach the prince for the court."

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt a sharp pain in his heart, the thing he was most worried about was about to happen after all.Li Shimin is not afraid of the impeachment of Li Chengqian by the court ministers, but what Li Shimin is most afraid of seeing is that the princes and brothers are at odds, and brothers are fighting each other.

Li Shimin suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "What does the crown prince have to do with Ke'er, to ask Ke'er to come into the palace in person?"

Li Shimin talked to Li Ke as father to son, king to minister, and he actually used the word "personally", which can be regarded as pointing Li Ke.

However, Li Ke was completely unaware of Li Shimin's advice, and still thought to himself: "The emperor's brother fell off his horse a few days ago, and there were rumors in the middle of the court, most of which were unfavorable words for the prince. I think this is mostly a hidden meaning of evil, and the chaos is beyond the outline. , my son thinks that father and emperor must not be trusted, so as not to hurt the relationship between father and son of my heavenly family."

As soon as Li Ke's words fell, a light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. Li Shimin only knew that Li Ke came for the prince, but he didn't expect that Li Ke came to protect the prince.

In this way, it was his father who thought Li Ke was wrong. For a while, Li Shimin felt a little guilty towards Li Ke.

Li Shimin stepped forward, looked at Li Ke and asked, "My son also thinks the words of the court are inappropriate?"

Li Ke immediately bowed to the ground, bowed his head to Li Shimin and said: "My son is willing to protect his family and life for the emperor's brother. The emperor's failure is just a temporary act. Because he is young, he only needs to be more disciplined by his father and the masters of the East Palace. I will be able to be good, and I hope that the father and the emperor will not be angry with the actions of the emperor and the elder brother, and have a heart that is easy to store, and hurt the harmony between father and son."

The so-called guaranty of his property and life is just a trick that Li Ke sent to his lips, and it is fine to say it. Is it possible that Li Chengqian will lose his way again in the future, and Li Shimin can punish Li Ke for this?

On the contrary, it was Li Ke's words that really entered Li Shimin's heart. In Li Shimin's view, Li Ke was willing to stake his family and life to protect Li Chengqian's crown prince, which shows that Li Ke is sincere and brotherly.

Li Shimin's heart was full of emotion, and his face was moved. He stepped forward, patted Li Ke on the shoulder, supported Li Ke with both hands, and said with emotion: "My son and the prince are deeply in love. If the prince knows about this , I must be very pleased. I have a son like this, so what can a father ask for!"

As an emperor, Li Shimin was supposed to hide his emotions, conceal his six desires, and behave fairly. He said these words in front of Li Ke at this moment, which shows that Li Shimin is very fond of Li Ke in his heart.

Li Ke smiled softly. He didn't know whether it was praised by Li Shimin or because he was ashamed. The brotherhood of the whole brother does not cause disharmony between brothers and sisters, and I have never spoken out against my brother, it is already a shame, how can I live up to the words of my father."

Li Shimin supported Li Ke's shoulders with both hands. Hearing Li Ke's words, his whole body felt warm, and he said with a smile, "This is not my son's fault. My son's words are very true. For the sake of brotherhood, you must say something seriously." It is inconvenient to speak. From my point of view, it is not my son who is at fault for this matter, but the officials of Zhan Shifu in the Eastern Palace. If they had the ambition of Wei Zheng and took admonition as their heart, how would the prince be today."

When Li Ke mentioned the matter of admonishing his brother, he was waiting for Li Shimin's words. When Li Shimin's words fell, Li Ke said: "Prince Zhan Shixuanling has both talents and virtues. He is indeed a rare official in the world. It can be criticized, but Xuan Linggong's temperament is too gentle, and it may not be appropriate for him to be an admonisher. Moreover, Xuanling Gong is also a minister and servant, with a lot of provincial affairs, and he may not be able to take care of all the affairs of the East Palace. Master Xuanling's fault."

Li Kezhi's words are true. Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and agreed: "My son's words are very true. Fang Xuanling's temperament is gentle, and he is acceptable as a minister, but he is not good enough as a teacher. This Donggong teaches the prince. But we need to choose another bone.”
