Chapter 51 Li Chengqian rebelled? (3)
"Is that what Cheng Qian said?" Li Shimin frowned and asked Changsun Wuji. He was not sure whether Li Cheng Qian was really going to rebel. But he couldn't help but get suspicious because of the public opinion. Seeing that Li Cheng Qian only brought a hundred guards with him.
He was still happy, and his doubts were dispelled a lot.
But Li Chengqian's attitude was unacceptable to him. He was his king and father no matter what, so there was nothing wrong with him being defensive. But this bastard actually threw away the prince's seal and ribbon and left. He was even more arrogant than me.
Seeing that the emperor's complexion returned to normal, Changsun Wuji refilled Li Shimin's empty tea cup and said, "Cheng Qian's temper is just like yours. When I was in Prince Qin's palace, didn't you and the Supreme Emperor often butt heads with each other? This is also true.
The reason why the Supreme Emperor prefers Jiancheng is Yuanji.
Besides, a major disaster in Guanzhong has not happened in a hundred years, and it is not easy to handle it so well now. The empress is about to give birth and cannot take care of the affairs in the palace, so His Highness the Crown Prince has to take precautions."
Changsun Wuji said this to remind the emperor that the reason why the prince strictly controlled the military power was to prevent Li Yuan from colluding with some people with ulterior motives to oppose the emperor, but now he was just framed by a villain.
"Well, this traitor, am I the unreasonable person? I'm going to scold him now." Seeing the emperor leave, Changsun Wuji smiled. He knew that the emperor was forgiving Li Chengqian for his rudeness today.
In fact, Li Shimin was still optimistic about Li Chengqian, otherwise he would not have allowed the power of the East Palace to expand to this extent. He really couldn't imagine how it would end if the prince he always loved really rebelled. Now he knew through Changsun Wuji that this was a misunderstanding.
He didn't care about the emperor's majesty and wanted to see his wronged son.
"Why did you disobey your father during the day and now you don't even want to say anything?" Looking at Li Chengqian who lowered his head and said nothing, Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his voice.
Qin Huaiyu and Henglian saw that their Highness was silent, but the Emperor was angry and quickly knelt down to plead guilty. Qin Huaiyu kowtowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Your Highness will not harm you. If you are still angry, I will ask the general to wait for you."
The mutilation has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Huaiyu, you guys go out"
"Your Highness, you are wronged"
"Get out", Li Chengqian drove Qin Huaiyu and two others out.
"Father, you have tea." Li Shimin hummed and took the tea handed over by Li Chengqian.
"Father, I think my uncle has told you. I don't know why you believe those memorials. If I don't do that, your whereabouts will be exposed. There is no minister like Jie Li in this court.
Well, as far as I know, which family controls the Central Plains caravans on the grassland?
And the Supreme Emperor, do you think the matter is over? The Supreme Emperor has been very harsh on his subordinates because of the younger brother of the concubine. If he knew that the country was ownerless, would he unite with some ministers to carry out a restoration?"
Li Shimin knew clearly what kind of temper Li Yuan had. If he knew that there was no owner in the country, and if he didn't cause trouble, then Li Shimin would be surprised.
"Well, Chengqian, I know it's really difficult for you to bear so much at such a young age." Li Shimin patted Li Chengqian's shoulder.
Wen Sheng put the prince's seal ribbon from his arms into Li Chengqian's hand and said: "I know you have been smart since you were a child, and I hope you can understand that King Zhao Wuling is a lesson learned from the past.
I will let Wei Zheng investigate this matter to the end, and I will not let you suffer in vain."
"My son is a son, so I shouldn't say what my father said. Right now, the Tang Dynasty is actively preparing for war and preparing for the Northern Expedition. My son is doing this to stabilize the situation in the court.
When I did this, I took into consideration that there would be some rumors, but these are nothing compared to my father's safety."
"Well, he is indeed my son. I understand your intention, but Cheng Qian, you have wasted a good opportunity."
After listening to Li Shimin's teasing, Li Chengqian knew that this so-called rebellion was over.
"Father, I was joking. Since I took charge of the country, I haven't slept well every night. Firstly, I was worried that someone would cause trouble, and secondly, I was worried that the people would not be able to survive the locust plague and die. It seems that I am not destined to be an emperor."
"Haha, now you know how difficult it is. Do you think it is so easy to become an emperor? You still have to learn."
After this incident, no matter who said that Li Chengqian was plotting against terrorism and fearing the emperor, they would not believe it. If Li Chengqian wanted to rebel, he could take advantage of the locust plague and the country was without a master, and use his reputation among the court and the people to sit on the throne.
Of course, there is also today's argument between father and son, and Li Shimin can see his status in Li Chengqian's heart. He would rather be suspected, misunderstood, and even lose his position, but he also wants to protect his whereabouts from being discovered and ensure that he
If his throne is not stolen by others, how can such a son rebel?
This also allowed Li Shimin to give Li Chengqian unlimited trust in the next few decades. No matter what Li Chengqian did, Li Shimin never doubted him again.
The next day, the emperor's escort finally set off back to Beijing. To Li Ke's surprise, Prince Li Chengqian's honor guard was still in the procession, as if nothing happened yesterday. This confused Li Ke. Could it be that his father had forgiven him after sleeping all night?
Prince.
Li Chengqian didn't know what Li Ke thought, but Li Tai helped him yesterday no matter what the reason was, and he should be grateful. He then asked Henglian to invite Li Tai to the car, and the two brothers talked about themselves.
"Qingque, brother, I also want to thank you for speaking out for justice." Li Chengqian toasted Li Tai.
Although he didn't know how his father forgave Li Chengqian, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine. If there was no opponent, life would be meaningless.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is too polite. My younger brother is doing his best to be a minister, and I don't dare to express my gratitude to His Highness."
Li Tai's title made Li Chengqian frown, "Qingque, why, yesterday I was the eldest brother, and today I am the crown prince."
"Isn't this the difference between a king and a minister?"
Li Tai's answer Li Chengqian was not satisfied with: "Qingque, today we brothers have explained our words. The eldest brother knows that you also want to be the prince, but you, Li Tai, are not like those people.
You want to fight openly and openly, rather than rely on those shady means. Just because of this, my brother will look at you differently. How can I drink this glass of wine?"
"Eldest brother is joking, how dare I fight with you? But since eldest brother is so elegant, then I will risk my life to accompany you." After saying this, I had a drink with Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian shook his head: "Qingque, remember, we are the same mother and father. As long as you can always maintain such a public spirit, no matter whether you also want to compete for the prince, I will not blame you, even if the eldest brother becomes the emperor."
It will ensure your wealth for the rest of your life."
Li Tai didn't dare to admit that he wanted to fight for the throne just because of Li Chengqian's words, but he knew Li Chengqian's reputation, so it was considered tacit.
But the premise is that the Tang Dynasty must be given priority. Li Tai has no objection to this. He is also a descendant of the Li family, so he naturally hopes that the Tang Dynasty will become stronger and stronger.
