Chapter 574
Li Chengqian was seriously ill and dying, no matter how dissatisfied Li Shimin was with what Li Chengqian did, this was also his eldest son, and he would never abandon him.

In the afternoon, when the news of Li Chengqian's serious illness entered the palace, Li Shimin was shocked. He didn't think much about it, and he would never have thought that his eldest son had already had rebellious thoughts. , and went to the East Palace.

Outside the gate of the East Palace, Li Ke happened to also arrive at the East Palace, and was "encountering" with Li Shimin head-on.

"My son, Li Ke, pays homage to his father, and asks his father to forgive his son's armor, so it is inconvenient to make a full ceremony." Li Ke artificially coincidentally "met" with Li Shimin outside the East Palace, and Li Ke stepped forward to pay homage to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw that Li Ke was wearing light armor, and Xue Rengui and all the guards of the palace were also in armor and equipped with weapons, most of them did not come from the palace, so he asked: "Where did Ke'er come from? "

Li Ke replied: "My son came from the field of the Lieutenant Colonel of Self-Defense. Today is the day when Weizhong performs martial arts. My son went to Youxiaowei Camp to have a look. Unexpectedly, I heard that the emperor's brother was seriously ill, so I came here to visit."

Li Ke is a military official and he is also in charge of the You Xiaowei. When he went to inspect the You Xiaowei camp, he must wear armor. This is also the rule in the army, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's light armor, and said with concern: "In the school grounds, there will inevitably be some out-of-target swords, guns and arrows, which are still somewhat dangerous. You will need a full set of bright armor when you go to the camp in the future. Don't be greedy for convenience. Only light armor."

Li Ke responded immediately: "My son and minister are not filial, and my father is worried."

Li Shimin looked at it; Li Ke looked cautious, and he must have listened to his words in his heart. Li Shimin couldn't help sighing: "Why are you unfilial? Among all the princes, you are the most pure filial piety. If the prince can have You are half sensible, so how come you are today."

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin and sighed, and he seemed to feel sad in his heart. Li Ke said: "I have never imagined that my brother can get to this point. I have something to ask my father, and I hope my father will allow it."

Li Shimin said: "Why should we be so polite between father and son, you just say it."

Li Ke said: "My son is not being polite to my father, but this matter has a lot to do with the court. It's a bit out of order for me to say that."

The relationship is very big?Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little worried. Could it be that Li Ke saw that Li Chengqian would not succeed, so he also set his eyes on the position of the East Palace?

Li Shimin was thinking in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Among the princes, Li Shimin's favorite is Li Ke. Li Chengqian will be abolished. These days, Li Shimin has also thought about the candidate for the next prince. Li Ke was originally one of his expected candidates, but he But he absolutely didn't want Li Ke to raise this matter in person. This was a sign of a breakdown in the relationship between brothers.

Li Shimin thought in his heart that Li Ke must not disappoint himself, and at the same time said to Li Ke: "What's the matter with Ke'er, but it's okay to say."

Li Ke got Li Shimin's words, and suddenly knelt down and said: "Brother is seriously ill this time, most of it is because I made a big mistake, and the position of prince may be abolished. Most of my brother's serious illness this time is due to depression and illness. His condition worsened and his life was in danger, so I asked my father to suspend the court meeting tomorrow and keep my elder brother as the crown prince, and my son was originally exchanged with the prince."

Hearing Li Ke's words, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, shocked at first, and then slowly felt guilt and love for Li Ke.

It turned out that Li Ke did not come here for his crown prince, but for Li Chengqian's intercession, and even willing to exchange his own prince to keep Li Chengqian's crown prince. Only then did Li Shimin understand Li Ke's good intentions, but his own As a father, he wrongly blamed Li Ke.

Li Ke still loves brothers and sisters, loves brothers, and Li Shimin is the most sensible, pure and filial boy.

For a moment, Li Shimin looked down at Li Ke who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes were moist.

At this moment, Li Shimin felt relieved. If before that, Li Shimin was still worried that if Li Chengqian was abolished, he would be harmed by others in the future. Now, Li Shimin watched Li Ke protect his elder brother so much. You can safely depose the prince.

Li Shimin leaned down and quickly helped Li Ke up, just like Li Ke did when he was young, he embraced Li Ke in his arms without any shyness in front of everyone, and said lovingly: "Tiger head, I'm so happy!" My good boy, what do I really want your Duke of Chu to do, I know that you protect the prince, but the prince has made a big mistake and cannot indulge himself, it is not for you to intercede."

In fact, Li Shimin's reply was already in Li Ke's expectation. It was never Li Ke or Li Shimin who advocated deposing Li Chengqian as the crown prince. Doomed to be useless from start to finish.

"My son is ignorant, and I am embarrassing my father." Li Ke lowered his head and whispered to Li Shimin.

Li Ke echoed Li Shimin's words, with a look of disappointment and self-blame on his face. It was disappointment that his brother would be dethroned, and self-blame for not being able to keep his brother.

Li Ke's expression can be said to be penetrating, falling into Li Shimin's eyes, Li Shimin couldn't help sighing in his heart: "If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for?"

Li Shimin patted Li Ke's shoulder, took Li Ke's arm, and said to Li Ke: "Okay, this matter is not your fault, so don't be sad anymore, although I will visit your brother."

As Li Shimin said, he pulled Li Ke's wrist affectionately and walked towards the East Palace.

Li Chengqian's rebellion was conspired with Hou Junji, Prince Zuowei led Zhao Jie, and Right Guard General Li Anyan. Li Ke suddenly appeared in the East Palace with Li Shimin, which really surprised them, especially Li Ke was here in armor. , making them even more confused.

Zhao Jieshou stood outside the inner gate of the East Palace, watching Li Ke approaching, not knowing whether their plan had been leaked or what, he finally plucked up his courage and stepped forward to stop Li Ke.

Zhao Jie raised his hand to stand in front of Li Ke, and said to Li Ke and Xue Rengui's guards behind Li Ke: "East Palace Inner Court, please King Chu and others disarm and disarm."

When Li Ke heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and he said to Zhao Jie: "Because the weather is still hot, I only wear my inner jacket. If I take off my armor, I'm afraid I will be impolite. I wonder if I can accommodate it?"

The inner courtyard of the East Palace is the residence of Prince Li Chengqian. It is true that ordinary soldiers are not allowed to bring armor into the interior. There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Jie said, but when Li Shimin heard these words, Li Shimin felt bad up.

Li Shimin was also from the army, and he knew very well what it meant for a general to throw away his helmet and armor. It was clothing, and it was more dignified. What's more, Li Ke didn't intend to bring his armor here, but it was just out of urgency.

Before Zhao Jie could speak again, Li Shiming had already said: "Who gave you the courage to disarm the King of Chu?"

Zhao Jie didn't expect that Li Shiming would speak, and hurriedly said: "The general will not dare, it's just that this is the rule of the East Palace, the general will follow the order."

Li Shimin said displeased: "That's for others. The King of Chu is a general of the forbidden army, the prince of the country, even if he enters the palace, he can wear armor. Do you have to suffer such humiliation when you go to your brother's mansion?"

"The last general doesn't dare, I hope Your Majesty will appease your anger." Even though Zhao Jie had already made up his mind to rebel, he didn't dare to confront Li Shimin face to face. entered.

　I would like to say that there is something wrong today, and it may not be possible to update Chapter 2 in time. If it is too late, I will make it up in the third update tomorrow.
