Chapter 243 The most difficult Li Er
The assassination was not revealed. After Li Er returned to the palace, he went to Tai Chi Palace to find that Li Yuan had not rested. He walked up to him and frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Awaiting for the news that Wei Wuliang was assassinated? Father, my son-in-law doesn't understand why you target him like this. Can't you see what value his existence will bring to the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Er was a little angry. He now tried his best to win over Wei Wuliang, make him feel safe and let go of his guard against the royal family, but whenever his goal of his efforts was about to be achieved, there would always be people from the royal family jumping out to stir up trouble, so that Li Er could get water.
Li Yuan, wearing white pajamas, leaned against the head of the bed, put his hands on his raised knees, and his other leg was lying flat on the bed, his eyes were a little empty. He did not answer Li Er's question, but just asked indifferently whether Wei Wuliang was still alive. Li Er frowned and nodded, and Li Yuan sighed.
"The Tang Empire is yours, Li Shimin, not me, Li Yuan. What is his value to me? You killed Jiancheng and killed Yuan Ji in order to be the emperor. If I were there to beg you that day, you would let them go? You became the winner of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, your achievements were infinitely magnified, and Jiancheng became a useless person. On the nine days of pacifying Xihe, who died by Song Laosheng and 20,000 Sui soldiers? It was you who defeated Qu Tutong? It was you Li Shimin who resisted the Turks when the Turks were strong. Since you were considering the country, why did you kill Jiancheng? You Li Shimin have selfish intentions, why can't I be? He killed my son Yuanchang, and he won my son as a crime of rebellion. What is the difference between you doing back then? I hate you but cannot kill you because you Li Shimin is my Li Yuan's son, but who is Wei Wuliang?"
The tone is light, neither happy nor sad, nor angry or smiling.
He seemed to have expected that Wei Wuliang would not die. He was the right time, place, and people and the person he protected. But if he did not give up, it was not Li Yuan's temperament. He was also a general who fought on the battlefield. Although he was so down and weak now, his temper and backbone would not disappear with age.
Moreover, in his heart, Li Jiancheng's ability is not weaker than Li Shimin, and Li Chengdao is a hundred times stronger than Li Chengqian.
Li Er was not confused about Li Jiancheng's affairs, but sighed and claimed that the only person who could heal his father now was Wei Wuliang, but Li Yuan laughed.
"He saved me? Do you think I am afraid of death? If it weren't for your reputation, I would have hanged myself in Da'an Palace early. My face was lost. My sons were killed by one another, my daughter became dissolute, my woman betrayed me, my son was killed, and my enemy lived in my sight. I could not take revenge. I had no face to live in this world. Why do I still need someone to save me? Why do I need to heal me? If I were not your father, if I weren't worried that the people in the world would be insulting you, I would be what I wanted."
The Supreme Emperor, who was already in his seventies, was covered in tears at this moment.
His first half of his life was extremely brilliant. After the Eight Kingdoms Pillar, he inherited the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty, raised an army to overthrow the Great Sui Dynasty, and called the emperor the emperor. However, the glory stopped at this time. He obtained the throne, but he lost too many things, so many of them.
From the moment when the Xuanwu Gate was stained with blood, Li Yuan knew that his life had ended. At that time, he no longer had the desire to live. If there was, he would protect his living children from being bullied by Li Shimin. No matter what they were, Li Yuan could only protect them to live, but now he found that he did not have the ability.
So what's the use of being alive?
Li Er stood up and left Tai Chi Palace, walked out of the palace, and looked at the sky gradually covered with dark clouds.
The autumn rain is coming, one autumn rain and one cool.
Just like the human heart.
In fact, the most difficult thing is Li Er. Li Yuan gave him too deep feelings tonight. No matter whether his words are true or false, no matter how bad things Li Er did, Li Yuan was still thinking about his son.
Li Yuan's scarred heart insisted on living in order to safeguard Li Shimin's reputation.
If the Supreme Emperor committed suicide in the palace, it would definitely lead to rumors. Li Shimin's reputation that had been saved for more than ten years would be destroyed.
The left hand is the country and the right hand is the home. Li Er did not want to make a choice, but the situation at this time forced him to make a choice, whether to abandon his elderly father or give up the opportunity to revitalize the empire.
Li Er left the palace! He ordered Dai Changqing to stay by the Supreme Emperor's side, and no one was allowed to approach the Supreme Emperor, and the maids in the Tai Chi Palace were not allowed to leave. Even if they went to the cottage, someone would have to follow him, let alone let anyone go in.
Wearing a white fish and dragon suit, he walked through the Vermillion Bird Gate, and walked towards the wealthy and wealthy area east of the city with strange eyes.
He gently pushed open the unlocked door of the mansion and saw his burly old subordinate when he entered the mansion. Li Er laughed at this.
"I guessed that I'll come?"
"Hehe, I can't guess, so I'm waiting. If you don't see you at dawn, I'll go to bed."
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and smirked at Li Er.
The deepest brotherly relationship in Chang'an is not Wei Jiu's circle, but Li Shimin and his old subordinates.
The founding of the country killed heroes and weakened the power of founding fathers. This is something that happened in many dynasties, but it did not happen after Li Shimin ascended the throne in Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty.
All his old subordinates were rewarded with generous rewards, including Duke of the State, Duke of the County, and Shangzhu Kingdom.
Cheng Yaojin considered himself a rude man, his achievements were not as good as Yuchi Gong, his plans were not as good as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and he was also a surrendered soldier halfway. He never expected that he would get the title of Duke Lu.
Li Er hugged Cheng Yaojin and walked into the Cheng family's study where the Cheng family was making a move. Cheng Yaojin took out a pot of strong wine and a pack of chopped beef, poured two glasses of wine, and drank the two of them.
There is no polite word, only drinking and drinking.
After three rounds of wine, Li Er was already drunk. He covered the square glass in his hand and tapped the table hard.
"You are my old subordinate, old brother, no one understands me, the Supreme Emperor does not understand me, and that evil is not understand me, do you know how difficult it is to be trapped in the middle? On the one hand, there is hope of revitalizing the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, he was the father who gave birth to me and raised me, but today he arranged an assassin to assassinate Wei Wuliang. What should I do now? Tell me, what should I do? Now that I asked Wei Jiu to leave Chang'an, he will never come back in my life, and I cannot let the Supreme Emperor let go of his grudges, but now the Supreme Emperor's body can no longer resist the torture of the disease, and he dare not fall asleep all day long, claiming that there is a ghost to arrest him, Wei Wuliang has a way, but he... I am in a dilemma, I have no way, I can't kill these two people, I can't hurt, who is the most aggrieved in the world? It's me! It's your second brother Li Shimin, I want to be assassinated, I want to be sick, I..."

The wine glass fell to the ground and smashed it, but Cheng Yaojin stood there in a daze.
He met Li Er whom he might never have seen in his life.
Li Er cried!
After drinking a lot of wine, the aggrievance in his heart was released, and at the same time he could not pretend to be very strong. Although he was the emperor, he was also a human being, and there was no way to do so.
Cheng Yaojin took another glass and put it in front of Li Er, poured wine and said softly.
"Your Majesty, I know! I know everything that happened in the White Jade Palace today. I am afraid that many people will be absent from the morning court today, and the old minister will not go to the court. I am worried that Your Majesty will ask me how to solve this matter. It is not that you have no choice, but that everyone in the world has no choice. Wei Wuliang's ability can be seen in the world. The old minister participated in the experiment of dry and thunder. This is just this..."
"One thing? If there is only one drought thunder, if Wei Wuliang only has this ability, I don't feel sorry for him and cannot bear to kill him. I can kick the Protectorate in the Western Regions with one foot. He alone drove the economy of the Tang Dynasty. He knew drought thunder. He knew how to train troops. He alone made the gentry and wealthy families unable to breathe. He told me how to use money to make money and use this money to strengthen the army. You all think that I am too doting on this evil. I will tell you bluntly that there is a basement in the Wei family, which is hidden in it.
Some treasures from the Wei family, if they are taken out, they will cause a sensation across the country. If I tell you, there are still hundreds of kinds in his mind, thousands of kinds in his mind that I have never heard of or seen before, Cheng Yaojin, tell me that I am willing to kill such a person. He is still doing something that benefits the people of the world. He wants to start teaching the students of the Tang Dynasty to learn medical skills and study medical skills. Don’t forget that smallpox is a problem solved by this evil, but this hospital does not allow me to intervene, and even my real son has not inserted any of it."

The wine glass in Cheng Yaojin's hand fell to the ground and said with a sad face.
