First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 434 The Crying Child Has Milk
...

Hearing that the sage called him, Li Jiancheng's face turned pale.

"Everyone, what should I do?" Li Jiancheng was a little trembling, and hurriedly asked for advice.

For example, Wei Qingsi, Yin Wenli, etc., if they talk about literature, they are full of knowledge, but their practical talents are really ordinary, and they are helpless in a hurry.

Only Pei Ju said bluntly: "When the sage calls, he must go quickly and answer everything truthfully."

Li Jiancheng was stunned, staring and asked, "So simple?"

Pei Ju smiled lightly and said: "The sage knows everything. How many gossips in the city come from the East Palace, the sage knows very well."

Hearing these words, Li Jiancheng immediately understood, "What you said is very true, and it is clearly a person with a heart who did it on purpose."

Li Jiancheng tidied up his clothes and went to the Ganlu Hall anxiously.

After Li Jiancheng left, the leisurely Pei Ju suddenly slapped his head and said, "Destroyed".

"What happened to Duke Hong?"

"Your Highness reeks of alcohol, it will definitely displease the saint," Pei Ju shook his head and sighed.

Everyone was stunned.

In the back hall, Li Yuan lay reclined on the couch, with his eyes closed, and asked faintly, "Are you still here?"

"Everyone, King Qin is already waiting outside the palace," Wang De replied with a bow.

"Now it's time to talk about etiquette." Li Yuan shook off the thin blanket on his body, "Let him roll in."

"Admiral Tiance, Shangzhu Kingdom, Taiwei, Situ, Shang Shuling, Yongzhou Mu, the left and right twelve generals, Daxingtai of Shandong Daoxingtai, Shangshuling of Daoxingtai of Yizhou Daoxingtai, Chief Supervisor of Liangzhou, Li Shimin, King of Qin, Greetings Your Majesty."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and bowed down.

Li Yuan was slightly startled, looked up and down Li Shimin's clothes, and then snorted coldly: "It's hard for you to remember clearly."

"Thunderstorm and rain dew are the kindness of the king, and the minister is sincere and loyal, and dare not forget each other," Li Shimin said seriously.

"Really? To kill the crown prince is also to be sincere and loyal?" Li Yuan slapped the table and shouted sharply.

Li Shimin bowed in fear and fear, and replied, "I really don't know what your Majesty said."

Li Yuan laughed angrily.

At this time, Li Jiancheng came in a hurry. The bedroom was airtight and relatively closed. Li Jiancheng came eagerly to salute, bringing a gust of wind.

Li Shimin shrugged his nose, smiled lightly and said, "Brother is so elegant, this body smells like alcohol, I'm afraid it's not because he has been drinking heavily."

Li Yuan's face was gloomy, and Li Jiancheng's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly apologized.

"Erlang, who is this?" Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin's solemn attire, feeling a little confused.

"Without him, I was tidying up my clothes in the Chengqian Hall today, and just happened to be called by Aye, so I came directly," Li Shimin said lightly.

Li Jiancheng was a little surprised, and always felt that this was not the case.

"Enough", Li Yuan scolded angrily: "Are you showing off your achievements to me? What do you want to do, force the palace?"

Li Shimin turned pale with shock, his eyes turned red instantly, and he lay down on the ground, "Why would Aye say that, I never meant that."

"Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. Are you so desperate to be the crown prince?" Li Yuan sat up, pointed at Li Shimin and scolded, "You dare to do such a thing as coercing people's wishes, what else do you want to do? Force the palace?"

Li Shimin froze, probably brewing emotions, and then burst into tears, crying and laughing at the same time.

"Why would Aye look at me like this? My child joined the army at the age of 14, shed blood, and no one knows about his feats.

When Jinyang raised the army, Aye promised me that after the founding of the country, he would make me the heir apparent, but then he made his elder brother the crown prince, and he has no complaints.

Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande... Whichever battle was not a battle of courage and courage, leading the way.

The eldest brother hid his soldiers privately, and Yang Wengan rebelled. Aye promised again that after the rebellion was suppressed, I would be appointed as a reserve. After my soldiers captured and killed Yang Wengan without bloodshed, Aye called his elder brother back to Beijing. Don't blame the past. My son also didn't say anything, and went to Fangzhou in person Greet the eldest brother back to Beijing.

My son has already reached such a point, what does Aye want from me? "

At the end, Li Shimin was already crying bitterly, knelt on the ground, took off his crown, took off his clothes, and wept with all his body cast down: "This is the end, please give me an order to hand over my son to the third division for review. The prince's move, my son invites himself to die."

Wang De, the internal servant, was shocked when he heard the words, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin in astonishment, his eyes were very complicated.

Li Yuan's face was gloomy, "You are forcing me."

"I don't dare," Li Shimin wept and said, "I can only prove my innocence with this."

"The prince has not lost his morality, and if he abolishes the establishment for no reason, he may shake the foundation of the country." Looking at Li Shimin in his underwear, Li Yuan was soft-hearted after all, and sighed quietly: "The lessons from the previous Sui Dynasty must be investigated."

"The eldest brother succeeds to the throne, and my son is willing to be the Duke of Zhou", Li Shimin worshiped again.

Believe it or not, I just said that anyway, don't say it, I know it's a bit false, but seeing Li Shimin being so sincere, Li Yuan felt very relieved for a while, even though he also felt that Li Shimin would not be reconciled, but Li Shimin has already stated his position Yes, so what to do.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng, "Dalang, what do you think?"

It was only at this time that Li Jiancheng realized Li Shimin's sinister intentions, and pointed at Li Shimin, speechless, "Aye, Erlang, how could he be willing?"

"Aye, since the eldest brother is worried, please hand over my son to Yousi for review to prove his innocence." Li Shimin cried, "Every time I think of the days when I was in Jinyang, my mother's earnest teachings to us brothers, my son's heart I am very sad, my son has reached such a point, but my elder brother is still worried."

Li Yuan's face darkened when he heard this, and he looked at Li Jiancheng with some dissatisfaction.

Li Jiancheng trembled all over, and hurriedly said: "Erlang is sincere, and I believe it."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, and said wearily: "After all, he is a brother of the same mother. Such a fight is a joke, and it also hurts the family relationship. From now on, let's do it for ourselves, step back, and don't forget about hunting tomorrow."

The two stepped back together.

Outside the palace gate, Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin with a complicated expression.

"Erlang, you've changed. Didn't you cry like this before?"

"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Li Shimin pretended not to understand, "No matter what, we are also Ye Niang's children, so I can't cry if I've been wronged?"

From the bottom of my heart, I really agree with Gao Chong's words, "A child who can cry has milk", but it is really rough and reasonable, and today he retreated from the body, and those few tears are also indispensable.

Li Jiancheng took a deep look at Li Shimin, "Erlang, I know how big your heart is, I don't believe you."

When Li Shimin heard that he was "as if struck by lightning", he covered his head and cried again outside the palace gate.

The servant was at a loss and hurriedly informed Wang De.

When Wang De came out to take a look, he was a little confused, what kind of trouble did King Qin make?

The servant whispered something in Wang De's ear, Wang De's expression changed immediately, he let Li Shimin grieve alone, turned and went into the hall.

Seeing Wang De go back, Li Shimin stood up, wiped away his tears, nodded towards the servant, and strode away.
