bastard seizes tang

Chapter 581
It was Li Chengqian who forced the palace to rebel, and it was also Li Chengqian who was discussing the disposition at the court meeting today. Naturally, it has nothing to do with Li Ke, but today Li Ke suddenly appeared at this juncture, kneeling outside Zhu Ming's gate with his flesh naked. What is his purpose? What, no one will know.

I'm afraid that today's king of Chu, Li Ke, is going to take the blame for the brotherhood, but it's him who takes the blame, and it's Li Chengqian who asks for the crime.

All the ministers could guess Li Ke's intentions, but how could Li Shimin not know that Li Ke did not give up on his elder brother, but used this method to intercede for Li Chengqian and save Li Chengqian's life.

The injury on Li Ke's hand was caused by Li Chengqian. Yesterday he almost lost his life because of Li Chengqian, and was even ridiculed by the unreasonable Li Chengqian for a while, but today, when Li Chengqian's life and death are related, Li Ke still stood up. , Protecting his elder brother in his own way, this is brotherhood.

Li Shimin thought of Li Ke's grievances, Li Ke's worries, and Li Ke's embarrassment, and his heart felt as if a thousand knives had been cut into his heart, and he felt sorry for Li Ke.

"Tiger head, my son."

Li Shimin listened to the servant's words, how could he stay in the Liangyi Hall for a while, left the palace full of civil and military affairs, and went to Zhu Mingmen, and the ministers of the court saw Li Shimin coming out of the palace, and they all wondered what Li Ke was doing , followed up one after another.

But after a while, when Li Shimin walked all the way and left the Liangyi Gate, Li Shimin looked from afar and saw Li Ke kneeling under Zhu Mingmen.

Li Ke was wearing the most common coarse kudzu trousers in the army, his upper body was naked, and he was carrying a twig on his back. Li Ke seemed to be holding something in his arms. on the ground.

What is Li Ke holding in his arms, because of the distance, Li Shimin still can't see clearly, but Li Ke's appearance is enough to make Li Shimin's heart tremble, and he is full of pity.

Li Shimin walked up to Li Ke with all the civil and military officials, wanted to help Li Ke up, and said to Li Ke: "Ke'er, get up quickly, what are you doing?"

Li Ke knelt stubbornly, and begged Li Shimin: "My son, please treat my elder brother. I beg my father to whip my son, and I beg my father to spare my brother's life."

Li Ke said, and then slowly and carefully put down the things he was holding in his arms, took off the thorns on his back, and held them to Li Shimin's hands with both hands.

Just when Li Ke was holding the thing in his arms, Li Shimin discovered that it turned out that what Li Ke had been holding in his arms was nothing else, but the tablet of Empress Changsun enshrined by Li Ke in the Chu Palace.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's appearance, and looked at the tablet of Empress Changsun, his eyes turned sore, and he said to Li Ke: "The fault is with the prince, not with you. Why do you do this? How can I have the heart to punish you for being so polite."

Li Ke looked down at Empress Changsun's memorial tablet, and said to Li Shimin: "Before the mother died, I repeatedly asked my ministers to take good care of my brothers. The sons should take care of my mother. The prince and brother made a big mistake. How can my son sit and watch."

Li Ke's words were also mentioned by Empress Changsun before her death. Empress Changsun had a will: Li Ke acted prudently, loved his brothers, and specially granted Li Ke the status of his son, entrusting him to take care of his sons on his behalf.This is what Li Ke once promised to the eldest grandson queen, and it is what Li Ke is doing now.

Every word of Li Ke pierced deeply into Li Shimin's heart like a sharp knife, and Li Shimin seemed to recall the scene of Empress Changsun holding his hand and exhorting him before she died.

Li Shimin suppressed the grief in his heart, and said to Li Ke: "Ke'er, do you know what mistake your emperor brother committed? It is a heinous crime of treason that will never be restored."

Hearing Li Shimin's seemingly harsh words, Li Ke suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming from his eyes.

Li Ke hugged Li Shimin's leg, looked up at Li Shimin, and begged: "I know that my brother is too much, but I only have this elder brother. If the elder brother dies, and I have no elder brother, I hope my father will forgive me." Nah."

Li Shimin threw away the twig in his hand, hugged Li Ke, his eyes were a little moist, Li Shimin said: "Although the crown prince committed a capital crime, how do others know the brotherhood of our own father and son?"

Li Ke was held in Li Shimin's arms, and said to Li Shimin: "Even though my brother made a mistake, it's only this one time. I hope that my father will spare my brother's life. I will pledge my life to guarantee that my brother will never do it again."

Li Ke's words hit Li Shimin's heart all of a sudden, Li Ke only had this elder brother, so why didn't Li Shimin only have this eldest son, and how could Li Shimin be willing to take Li Chengqian's life.

Facing such a cold and cold Li Chengqian who made things difficult for him several times, Li Ke could still do his best to protect him, let alone the other princes.

Wen Tao and Wu Lue have the merits of protecting the country. In terms of reputation and popularity, they are all the princes. In addition, Li Ke can love his brothers and protect his brothers, so that all the princes can be preserved. Isn't this just solving him? All the confusion, isn't Li Ke the most suitable candidate for the crown prince?
Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's pleading appearance, and at the scars on Li Ke's upper body when he was naked. These wounds were left in the Turkic Wolf Valley, and they were left on the battlefield. No matter what the cause of these wounds, they are all It is Li Ke's contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Among the kings and princes, who can match him?
Li Shimin's heart was shaken, he knelt down slowly, and in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he took off his court uniform, and put it on Li Ke's body in full view.

As a prince, it is inappropriate for Li Ke to be topless. It is reasonable for Li Shimin to put clothes on him, but what Li Shimin put on him is nothing but imperial clothes. Anyone who is not blind or foolish can see what it means come out.

Non-emperors don't wear imperial clothes, Li Shimin put on Li Ke's clothes, telling them in front of all the officials, this is to make Li Ke, the king of Chu, as his heir.

Looking at the court uniform Li Shimin put on Li Ke, the officials in the court had different expressions. Cen Wenwen, Wang Xuance and other officials who had good friends with Li Ke were overjoyed, and there was a smile on their faces unconsciously. His eyes were also full of jealousy and regret.

What Li Tai was jealous of was the imperial uniform on Li Ke's body. What he regretted was why he didn't think of such a way to intercede for Li Chengqian and asked Li Ke to take the lead, but he could only watch Li Ke's filial piety and brother Gong over there, and snatch all of them. He took the limelight and captured the hearts of the people.

On the other hand, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Ke in the field, and his mood slowly calmed down. If Changsun Wuji was unwilling to accept Li Ke's gain and Li Chengqian's loss before, then now, he has given up from the bottom of his heart. Convinced.

Regardless of his own civil and military talents, as long as he controls the court, wins people's hearts, and guesses Li Shimin's thoughts, Li Ke has defeated Li Chengqian by far too many. In fact, Li Chengqian has never been Li Ke's opponent. There is no injustice for today's crushing defeat.

As for Li Tai, it was even more so. Li Tai valued power, but in fact he went the wrong way from the very beginning.

Li Tai only cared about winning over the courtiers. Over the years, Li Tai's power in the court had really risen, and he even overwhelmed Li Ke for a while, but Li Tai didn't know that the [-] courtiers he had wooed said [-] good words. It is also not as important as the intimacy Li Zhi and Li Mingda showed to Li Ke in front of Li Shimin.
