Chapter 1170 Relief
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Hou Junji, I still have one more question to ask you!"
Hou Junji said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will report my death to the truth."
Li Shimin pondered: "Does the prince want to rebel? Do he want to force me to abdicate, or do he want to kill the lord and the father?"
After hearing this, Hou Junji said without hesitation: "The prince just wants to force His Majesty to abdicate and live a life of his life. Because of this, I agree to a reactionary mutiny with the prince. If the prince wants to kill the king and the father, I will definitely not agree."

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, okay, I understand!"
"If you have any requirements these days, you can ask the jailer and it will definitely satisfy you!"
After Li Shimin said that, he turned around and walked out of the prison door. Hou Junji said respectfully: "I thank the Lord for your kindness and respectfully send you to Your Majesty. I will serve Your Majesty again in the next life!"
As if he had broken through the demonic obstacles in his heart, Li Shimin suddenly felt much better. The prince still remembered a trace of father-son relationship, but he did not disappoint him too much.
Su Cheng whispered: "Do you want to see the crown prince?"
After hearing this, Li Shimin struggled in his heart, and finally shook his head slowly and said, "Forget it, it's just a little sad, let's go back to the palace!"
In fact, he wanted to see Li Chengqian at the same time, but he was a little resistant. If Li Chengqian cried and admitted his mistakes and repented, what should he do?
Although he was disappointed and sad about Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was his most respected son after all. He was appointed as the crown prince when he ascended the throne. He has devoted himself to training Li Chengqian into a qualified emperor and inherit the Tang Dynasty.
After all, it was the first child born after the empress and he married several years ago, and it carried the queen and his countless love, so he did have a deep father-son relationship for Li Chengqian.
It was just because Li Chengqian was the crown prince and he could not spoil him, but he didn't expect the crown prince to go astray.
Even though he was disappointed and sad about Li Chengqian, he also felt guilty in his heart.
"The queen doesn't know how to worry yet. Let's go back and tell the queen this good news first so that she can feel a little relieved, so as not to hurt her body because she was too worried." Li Shimin walked out of the prison with great strides.
"Your Majesty, that minister..."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you go back and rest too. The soldiers who guarded the palace ban last night all received rewards. Go back and count and report it."
"Yes, that's the minister who took his leave!" Su Cheng watched the emperor go away surrounded by guards, and then he went home.
Is Hou Junji's all true?
Li Chengqian really has no idea of killing the lord and father, and just wants to force the emperor to abdicate?
Li Chengqian did not hold heavy troops like His Majesty at the time, and had the support of so many good ministers and powerful generals.
Therefore, Su Cheng was still somewhat suspicious of Hou Junji's words.
However, this is not important anymore. At least Li Chengqian will withdraw from the political stage and will never be involved in the imperial power.
Regardless of whether what Hou Junji said was a lie or not, he would give Li Shimin and Empress Changsun some psychological comfort so that they would not be so sad. This was the best result.
As for what the truth is, what does it matter?
After thinking thoroughly, Su Cheng let out a long breath and galloped.
Since Empress Changsun has rode back to Chang'an overnight, Princess Changle and the others will definitely not be able to stay in Mount Li. She must be on the way back to Chang'an now, and I don't know why I'm anxious.
Therefore, after Su Cheng left Chang'an, he did not return to Sujiazhuang, but instead took his personal soldiers to gallop along Changsheng Road.
After Li Shimin returned to the palace, he rushed to the Lizheng Hall. What he was most worried about was the queen.
"Can the Queen have a rest?" Before he saw the Queen, Li Shimin first asked about the palace maids in Lizheng Hall.
"Go back to Your Majesty, the Empress did not rest after returning to the palace."
Sure enough, the queen was sad and anxious and couldn't rest at all. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel worried.
Li Shimin walked into the inner hall with great strides, and Empress Changsun quickly stood up from the soft collapse: "Your Majesty is back."
Li Shimin supported the queen and said with concern: "Didn't I give you a rest?"
Empress Changsun wanted to force a smile, but couldn't laugh at all. She whispered: "I don't feel tired either."
While speaking, Li Shimin carefully looked at the queen's face and found that the queen's face looked pretty good, at least better than she thought.
Empress Changsun said: "I have heard about what happened in the court, but it is hard for Su Cheng to come up with a solution."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Su Cheng's suggestions are very good, and it's my heart."
Empress Changsun asked, "I heard that Your Majesty has gone to the prison, but what did you ask?"
Li Shimin said: "I went to ask Hou Junji. Hou Junji said that the prince just wanted to force me to abdicate and had no idea of killing the lord and father. Otherwise, he would not have mutiny with the prince. I believe Hou Junji's words!"
When Empress Changsun heard a big stone in her heart, she finally fell to the ground and said quickly: "Gao Ming was only bewitched by others and was a moment of devilishness. But she would not even ignore the relationship between father and son, mother and son."
Li Shimin sighed: "It's all my fault, I blame me for setting a bad example for my descendants!"
Empress Changsun held Li Shimin's hand and comforted him: "How can you blame Your Majesty? Your Majesty had no choice but to do so. Now the Tang Dynasty is growing more and more powerful, and now all the subjects in the world praise Your Majesty as a wise ruler!"
Li Shimin sighed: "It has been so long since the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and I still thought it had been completely over."
"Your Majesty, it's over." Empress Changsun changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever seen Gao Ming when you go to the prison?"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I don't know how to face him, so as Su Cheng said, find a manor to enclose him. I will never take a step in my life, but I will not treat him badly, such as luxury and food, treasures and beauties, whatever he wants, I will give him whatever he wants, and let him live his whole life like this, which is the complete relationship between me and his father and son!"
All the best results can be satisfied except for the throne and freedom. Although they are banned, they will not suffer any pain. It is the best result for a rebellious person to live such a life, right?
Empress Changsun felt completely relieved and said affectionately: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this is the best result for him. Let him live his life so quietly and richly."
Seeing that the queen's face was no longer depressed, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief: "Why thank me? You are his mother, I am also his father, and I hope he can be well."
Empress Changsun whispered: "Your Majesty, I want to see Gao Ming at first."
