Chastity Layman

  Chapter 1266 Li Shimin's killing intent

Firstly, when he was in Jianzhou, he heard from the Yang family that he wanted to arrange for Wu Meiniang to enter the palace. Secondly, the eldest lady of the Wu family was the wife of the sixth younger brother. He didn’t want to complicate matters. Even his own daughter can strangle and frame the queen, so he doesn't want his backyard to be more complicated.

   Later I heard that Wu Mei had entered the palace, so I lost contact with her.

"Originally, I admired Wu Mei quite a lot, but since I got lucky with this girl, I feel that she is very cold, and the imperial couch Chenghuan has no feelings. I don't like it very much. Once, Xu Luoren brought in a batch of good horses, and one of them It is very fierce, no one can tame the imperial stables, but Wu said she could do it, and I asked her to try, but she asked me for three things, a horsewhip, an awl, and an iron hammer. Zha, if you don't obey me again, you will be beaten to death with a hammer."

   Li Shimin was displeased by this outrageous remark. She felt that this should not be a ruthless means that a young harem talent should have.

  After that, Li Shimin didn't raise the case again, and he alienated the Wu family even more.

  Originally, Mrs. Wu continued to be her shanggong, and Li Shimin continued to practice his Taoism and his Dan, and they could live in peace.

But the problem is that the elixir made by the Hu monk from Tianzhu, which originally allowed Li Shimin to regain his glory for a short time, was not only useless, but caused serious physical problems to the emperor, causing him to be paralyzed on the bed for a period of time. Enter the palace to serve medicine.

   It was at this time that Chengqian met Wu, and the two hooked up for some reason. Li Shimin didn't know whether Chengqian forced Wu Meiniang, or Wu Meiniang took the initiative to seduce Li Chengqian.

  But the two hooked up secretly, and they couldn't hide it for long. Li Shimin finally found out, but after Li Shimin found out, he didn't say anything.

  This is no longer the emperor who was ordered to die in anger at the beginning of Zhenguan when he found out that Zheng Shisanniang was eating Bizi soup in secret. He endured it and pretended he didn't know anything.

  For the emperor, as long as the Wu family is dealt with, it will inevitably make Chengqian understand and vent, which will lead to the situation that father and son will face.

  Unless Li Shimin made up his mind to abolish the Chengqian storage position, he could only endure it first.

   "Is Your Majesty sure?"

  After hearing this amazing story, Qin Lang just asked such a plain sentence.

   "Have I lost my mind? Besides, if I don't investigate this kind of matter clearly, how dare I make a judgment?"

  The emperor said so, then this matter is a certainty.

But Qin Lang didn't seem too surprised, mainly because she thought that Wu Meiniang later became the queen of Gaozong Li Zhi in history, and various historical books record that Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi were together when Li Shimin was still alive of.

  Anyway, since the history books dare to record it like this, then it is clear.

Based on Wu's behavior, coupled with Li Zhi's age at the time, and his character, people later believed that it must be Li Zhi who Wu had taken the initiative to hook up with. .

  Although some people think that Wu's family was not blessed by the emperor after entering the palace, but if she was not lucky, she was Li Shimin's concubine, not a court lady or a female official.

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty served Emperor Wen in Renshou Palace, and his concubine, Mrs. Xuanhua, followed him. Yang Guang once took advantage of Xuanhua to go out to change clothes, and wanted to moleste her..." Li Shimin was very sad when he said this, In the past, he thought that Yang Guang was really insane. His father was sick and his son was sick, and he dared to take the opportunity to insult his father's concubine. Unexpectedly, his prince is also so rude now.

  If you can do this kind of thing, then you will be another Yang Guang.

  If you don’t even care about the relationship between father and son, what will you care about in the future?

  How can such an unscrupulous person be a good emperor in the future?

  Qin Lang sat quietly.

  The emperor told him about these secrets, and it seemed that he was extremely angry in his heart, but the emperor told him about this in private on such a two-person occasion, which also showed Li Shimin's attitude in his heart.

Back then, when Li Shimin was in crisis, he informed Li Yuan that Jiancheng and Yuanji were having an affair with the harem. Li Yuan was furious and immediately sent someone to inform the prime minister, minister of punishment, minister of Dali Temple and other important officials, asking them to enter the palace the next day. , and then confronted Jiancheng, Yuanji, Li Shimin and others in court.

  But Li Shimin found out about this scandal, and even after personally confirming it, he still kept silent. What does this mean?

  It shows that in Li Shimin's heart, he still has no plans to abolish Chengqian.

   Otherwise, he will never tolerate it and will only deal with it immediately.

  Just like in history, Kang Mazi’s prince had an affair with his concubine, and he bumped into him personally, but in the end Kang Mazi concealed it for the prince instead, that is, Kang Mazi at that time did not intend to abolish the prince.

  Li Shimin is a qualified and excellent emperor, so he must first consider the consequences of everything he does.

   Abolish Chengqian, who should the emperor establish?

  Li Tai was demoted before, and all of Li Tai's supporters were killed and relegated. It is impossible to establish Li Tai again.

  If Li Tai is not established, only the last son Li Zhi is the most qualified, but Li Zhi has no foundation. As for Li Ke, although he has a good name, he is a **** son and has been severely suppressed by Li Shimin these years.

If Li Shimin was in good health, he might have abolished Chengqian immediately, and he could train Li Zhi well, but he is no longer able to survive this year. At this time, Chengqian, who has a solid foundation and already full-fledged wings, can be abolished. , would be quite dangerous.

   And even if Abolition succeeds, how can Li Zhi be guaranteed to secure the throne after his death?

  Will the world be in chaos?

   These are issues that Li Shimin must consider.

   No matter how much dissatisfaction with Chengqian, the long-term interests of the Tang Dynasty must be the most important.

  The behavior of the emperor has revealed his thoughts, so Qin Lang already knew that the emperor had actually made a choice after calculating.

  He didn't have a better choice, so although he was dissatisfied with Chengqian, he had no choice but to still say such things at this time, Qin Lang felt that the emperor was digging a hole.

   The relationship between Chengqian and Qin Lang is not good, and many people have known it in recent years.

  The two have grown from being close teachers and students to being estranged now. Cheng Qian even expressed to the emperor his extreme dissatisfaction with Qin Lang long ago.

   And Qin Lang must know this better than others.

  So Li Shimin specifically told Qin Lang these things today, not necessarily to seek Qin Lang's support to abolish Chengqian, but to know whether Qin Lang still supports Chengqian.

  If Qin Lang followed the emperor's words to abolish Chengqian and establish another prince, no matter who he supported, Qin Lang might not be able to leave today.

  For Li Shimin, he was about to die, so he couldn't afford it anymore, and Datang couldn't afford it at this critical moment either.

   It is necessary to ensure the smooth succession of the throne.

   Chengqian's status cannot be shaken in the slightest.

Qin Lang is his chosen assistant minister of the new court, and such a minister must have a firm attitude. If Qin Lang hesitates at all, Li Shimin must not let Qin Lang stay in this assistant team, even if Qin Lang If Lang Zhen wanted to take the opportunity to pull Chengqian off his horse, Li Shimin might not be able to kill him.

Of course, it is impossible to openly accuse Qin Lang of treason at this time, but there are many ways to kill a person, such as poisoning, etc. At that time, there will be a sudden death or hunting and falling from a horse, swimming in a lake, etc. It's all possible, although there will be some troubles, but as long as you make up your mind, it's better than staying and endangering the Tang Dynasty.

  So Qin Lang had a lot of thoughts, and he already decided that Li Shimin was acting with him.

  The acting skills are very strong.

  He was not sure whether what the emperor said was true, he could only judge that the possibility was high, but no matter what the possibility was, the emperor was playing him.

  Maybe it’s because the monarch and his subjects have been estranged all these years, and they have been separated all the year round, or maybe it’s because Qin Lang still has huge influence in the court and the opposition, so the emperor wants to play him.

   But anyway, it is true that the emperor played him.

  After Qin Lang figured it out, there was no abnormal expression on the surface.

  Although Qin Lang felt that it would be shameless for Chengqian to flirt with the Wu family, but being an emperor is not about choosing a saint, thinking that Li Shimin himself would bring his sister-in-law into the palace.

  Li Shimin himself is not very noble.

  As for those who say that Chengqian has a bad temper, there is nothing to say about this, the emperor is also a human being. Generally speaking, Qin Lang also believes that it is really impossible to change reserves at this time, because there is no better choice, and it is too late.

  At such a time, even if Li Shimin wanted Yi Chu, Qin Lang would not agree to it. It was impossible for him to get involved in this kind of thing, it was too dangerous.

  Although Chengqian might not think well of him as a teacher if he becomes the emperor, the Qin family shouldn't engage in such a thing now.

   It can even be said that even if Li Shimin really wanted to change his reserves at this time, he might not be able to do so.

  The current Chengqian is not the Chengqian in history. The Chengqian in history has been fighting against Li Tai. In fact, Chengqian was half-abandoned by Li Shimin long ago. Even Changsun Wuji and many others also abandoned Chengqian long ago.

  But now the situation is just the opposite. Under Li Shimin's unwavering attitude, the Manchu Dynasty now supports Chengqian, and even Chengqian has a very high influence in the government and the opposition during these years of Chengqian's supervision of the country.

   Therefore, if Li Shimin, who is dying of illness, insists on exchanging reserves at this time, there is a very high probability that there will be another Xuanwumen change or even succeed.

  The emperor looked at Qin Lang for a long time.

   "Hey, I'm tired, come here first today!"

  Qin Lang nodded, "I'm going to call the servant."

  Li Shimin sat there, looking at Qin Lang's back as he walked towards the lake, his gaze was like a sword.

  When Qin Lang came back, Li Shimin took his hand and walked with him.

   "I haven't had a drink for a long time. I'm happy today. I drank two more glasses and talked a lot of nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

   "The minister is also drunk, and when the wind blows, I don't remember anything."

  Li Shimin patted Qin Lang's arm, and then boarded the boat with the help of the guards. Qin Lang stood on the shore and did not go up, quietly watching the dragon boat go away.

  Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. It is too difficult to get along with the emperor. I hope I can return to Luzon earlier this time. I really don’t want to stay in the Central Plains for one more day.
