Chapter 656

The end of summer is turning into autumn, and the night now comes much earlier than before, and it only arrives at You hour, and there is not much light in the sky.

In the north of Chang'an City, Tai Chi, and Zhaoqing Hall.

Since the death of Empress Changsun, there was no owner in the harem, and many times Li Shimin had no one to discuss things with, so Concubine Yang became the closest person to Li Shimin at this time.

The reasons are not difficult to guess. First, Concubine Yang was born in the royal family, so the world she has seen is not comparable to others. She can also become Li Shimin's good helper in many cases; second, Concubine Yang has a lenient temperament. , Do not fight or grab, although she is not as respected as the empress Changsun in commanding the harem, she is also harmonious. The third and most important point is that Concubine Yang is the biological mother of the prince Li Ke.

Among the princes, Li Ke was already favored by Li Shimin, especially after Li Chengqian was abolished and Li Ke was made the crown prince, Li Shimin's love for Li Ke surpassed that of Li Tai, ranking first among all the princes.Concubine Yang is Li Ke's biological mother, so it is reasonable for Li Shimin to get closer to Concubine Yang.

Li Shimin was lying on the soft bed of Zhaoqing Hall, his eyes were slightly closed, he seemed to be thinking about something, and he seemed to be dozing off, while Concubine Yang was standing beside Li Shimin, gently clasping her hands On Li Shimin's shoulder, he slowly pressed Li Shimin's shoulder.

"Your Majesty, how about such strength?" Concubine Yang asked Li Shimin softly while rubbing Li Shimin's shoulders.

Li Shimin thought about it, but at first he didn't hear Concubine Yang call him, and she still frowned slightly. Concubine Yang heard that Li Shimin didn't reply to her words, but leaned motionless on the soft bed, and paused. , then leaned into Li Shimin's ear again, and said softly: "Your Majesty?"

When Li Shimin was called by Concubine Yang, he suddenly realized that Concubine Yang was calling him, and asked, "Why did Concubine Yang call me?"

Concubine Yang laughed and said: "The concubine saw that His Majesty didn't answer, and thought it was His Majesty dozing off. If His Majesty is really sleepy, it's better to lie down on the bed. It's almost autumn now, so don't catch a cold."

It was approaching early autumn, and the weather in Guanzhong had started to get a little chilly in the morning and evening. If Li Shimin slept without covering his body, it would be easy to catch cold.

Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "No need, I didn't fall asleep, but I was just thinking about something."

Concubine Yang asked: "What is Your Majesty thinking about? Is there a place where ministers and concubines can share His Majesty's worries?"

Li Shimin patted Concubine Yang's hand, indicating that Concubine Yang didn't need to press it anymore, then pulled Concubine Yang to sit beside him, and asked Concubine Yang: "You must have heard about what happened in the morning court today. "

There was only one thing discussed in the early court today, and that was the impeachment of the crown prince by all the ministers, which Li Shimin was referring to naturally.

Concubine Yang replied: "This matter is very big, and it is related to the tiger's head. The concubine still knows something about it."

Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang's calm expression, and asked curiously: "Then you don't plan to speak for Hutou?"

Concubine Yang replied with a smile: "Your Majesty understands Hutou better than his concubines. Although Hutou is very courageous, he always regards Tang Sheji and the brotherhood of father and son as the most important thing in his eyes. If you don't believe it, your majesty won't believe it even if you think about it, why should the concubine explain more, please take care of your majesty."

"Hahaha"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when he heard Concubine Yang's words. Li Shimin said to himself: "You are very right. If it is said that Ke'er used grain and grass from Wuwei warehouse to save the people from fire and water, but it is said that Ke'er secretly used grain and grass to borrow Buying people's hearts or making huge profits, don't have second thoughts about me, I absolutely don't believe it, it's absolutely impossible."

Concubine Yang said: "That's it. Hutou has not yet returned to Beijing. We don't know the situation in Liangzhou at that time, and we don't know the situation of Hutou. It's better to wait until Ke'er returns to Beijing."

Li Shimin said: "What you just said has the same meaning as the auxiliary machine, and the auxiliary machine at the court meeting today is also protecting the prince, and it also means the same."

Concubine Yang heard that Li Shimin also mentioned what Changsun Wuji said in the court, and replied: "Changsun Sikong is mature and prudent, so his words are naturally appropriate."

Li Shimin sat beside Concubine Yang, listened to Concubine Yang's words, and remembered what happened in the court today, and his heart became more and more displeased. Li Shimin said: "Of course, what those ministers said can't hurt the tiger's head, but it's a pity It is really hateful that the person who maliciously spread rumors and caused troubles has not been found."

Li Shimin was also very displeased with the secret letter sent by Yushitai at today's court meeting. Just after the court was over, Li Shimin ordered Chang Tu to go to Yushitai to inquire about the matter, but unfortunately, there was nothing. As a result, it is even more impossible to find that person in the future.

Concubine Yang heard the letter from Li Shimin's mouth, and the flat expression on her face was slightly moved. Concubine Yang said: "The person who maliciously spread rumors is really hateful. This person not only wants to touch the foundation of our Tang Dynasty, but also makes us The father and son of the Tian family are at odds and should be killed."

His beloved son was so viciously framed, it is reasonable for Concubine Yang to have such a reaction as the biological mother, Li Shimin said: "The official system of Yushitai is like this, and that person deliberately concealed his identity. It may not be easy to find that person. You and Hutou have been wronged."

What the secret letter said not only slandered Li Ke, but also exposed the fact that Concubine Yang was after the subjugation of the country. Concubine Yang would naturally be unhappy when she learned about this.

However, Concubine Yang was angry not because of herself, but because of Li Ke. Concubine Yang said: "What the man said in the letter is the truth. The concubine is after the country's subjugation. Although it doesn't sound good, it doesn't matter. But the concubine is not It’s a female stream, those people say what they say, but the tiger head is my Tang Dynasty prince, the most important state reserve, how dare they be so contemptuous and slander.”

Concubine Yang's words immediately brought Li Shimin's attention back to the secret letter. Just as Concubine Yang said, the secret letter mainly slandered Li Ke's Liangzhou grain release, but Li Ke's. Parentage and bloodline.

If it is said that the people of the Guanlongmen faction are holding on to the matter of Li Ke and Su Ding's private opening of Wuwei warehouse because Li Ke was against them in Liangzhou, Li Shimin can understand, after all, they can take advantage of this matter to get rid of Su Dingfang. The position of governor, broke Li Shimin's plan to suppress the Guanlongmen Clan, but why did they slander Li Ke's background and identity as his son?

Suppressing the Guanlongmen Clan is a national policy set by Li Shimin, and most of it is Li Shimin's intention. Slandering Li Ke with this matter will not solve the problem. Obviously, the people in the Guanlongmen Clan can't benefit from it. who?

Li Shimin was thinking, and suddenly remembered a person, and also remembered the so-called "abolish the East Palace, and re-establish the son-in-law" at the end of the secret letter.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed back and forth in Li Shimin's mind. He realized a question, did he love Wei Wang Li Tai too much, and gave him some unrealistic fantasies?
Li Shimin opened his mouth and told Chang Tu who was waiting by the door behind him: "Before tomorrow noon, you send Qingque to come to the palace to see me."
