Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 312: The deep love between father and son, crying in each other’s arms!
"Mud stains!"

"Rebel!"

Inside Daan Palace.

The whispered words turned into angry roars.

On the bed, Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously tried to sit up. But he suddenly felt weak and his head ached, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"His Majesty."

Concubine Yang walked over quickly with the medicine in her hand, "Is your Majesty feeling better?"

"Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty fainted that day, and I stayed by your side to serve you."

Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang. From her haggard face, it seemed that she was not lying. He could not help but sigh.

"Thanks a lot."

"Your Majesty is serious."

Concubine Yang handed over the medicine she had just prepared, "Your Majesty, take the medicine."

"Don't eat!"

Li Shimin was still resentful: "That rebellious son wishes I were dead!"

Concubine Yang sighed, put down the medicine, stepped forward and rubbed Li Shimin's head, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but you are really wrong this time."

"you?"

Li Shimin suddenly turned his head and looked, his face showing anger and surprise.

Concubine Yang said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have already told you that the Crown Prince has the same personality as you. It is equally difficult for you to admit your mistakes to each other, even if you know that he is right and you know that you are wrong."

"It's just like you went to the East Palace and wanted to see the prince, but you knew that he went to his sister's grave to cry, but you turned around and went back to the palace."

"You are extremely partial to the King of Wei, and Concubine Yin often leaks news to the King of Qi..."

Li Shimin interrupted Concubine Yang, but his tone softened a bit, "That's not an excuse for him to kill his brothers!"

Concubine Yang looked at Li Shimin helplessly and wanted to say, weren't you the same back then?

But when the words came to his lips, they turned around and faded away.

"What about the Crown Prince? Is he already eager to ascend the throne?"

"No."

Concubine Yang shook her head. "During the time when His Majesty was in a coma, most of the affairs in the court were handled by Duke Shen and others. As for the Crown Prince..."

"what happened?"

"Since that day, the prince has locked himself up in the East Palace and refused to see anyone."

Concubine Yang sighed, "The death of the King of Wei and the King of Qi was also a pain that he could not accept. Your Majesty, you might as well think about it. When Li Zhi and his men showed up that day, the Crown Prince gently asked them to leave."

"Go and call the prince, I want to see him!"

"This……"

"go with!"

"Your Majesty, please drink the medicine first. I will go find the prince now, okay?"

Tons tons tons.

Li Shimin drank it all in one gulp, "Go call him over! And Su Chen too!"

……

Gao Shilian has been extremely busy these days.

Xuanwu Gate needs to be rebuilt now that it’s destroyed, right?
Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie were captured alive by the prince, which obviously did not mean to kill them. However, they stopped the prince at Xuanwu Gate. What should be done with them?

There are also people who are attached to the King of Wei and the King of Qi. How should we deal with them?

Li Chengqian just threw such a huge mess to him without asking any questions!
He felt that he was destined not to live out his life in peace, and it would be great if he didn't die from overwork.

Fortunately, he has a nephew.

"Uncle, uncle..."

Gao Shilian, who had just been quiet for a while, couldn't help rubbing his head when he heard Changsun Wuji's voice.

big head!

The troublemaker is here again.

"Why are you howling? Are you going to attend my funeral?!"

Facing Changsun Wuji who rushed in, Gao Shilian had no good words to say, "How can you be so flustered at such an old age?!"

"But uncle, something terrible has happened!"

Changsun Wuji wiped the sweat from his face, swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty is feeling better now, ask Concubine Yang to summon the Crown Prince and Su Chen."

Gao Shilian sat up straight immediately. "And then? You agreed?"

"How could I possibly agree to that?"

Chang Sun Wuji hurriedly explained, "I tried to appease His Majesty right away and invited Princess Chang Guang and others. But who knew that not only did they fail to appease His Majesty, but they also spread the news!"

"you!"

Gao Shilian slapped his thigh in anger, "How can you be so stupid that you can't even do such a small thing?!"

"Uncle, I didn't expect that the prince and Su Chen would go directly to Da'an Palace!"

"what?"

Gao Shilian suddenly panicked.

The bloodstains outside the Ganlu Temple have not yet dried, and the collapsed Xuanwu Gate has not yet been repaired.

The prince actually went to Da'an Palace with Su Chen!

Are they going to kill the king?
Will His Majesty suddenly attack and hurt someone? !

"Bastard!"

"Since you knew about this, why didn't you seal off Da'an Palace immediately? Why did you come here to look for me?"

Gao Shilian suddenly stood up and hurriedly picked up his shoes on the ground. Before he could put them on, he felt a pain in his old waist.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly stepped forward to put on his shoes and explained, "The crown prince has ordered that no one is allowed to set foot in Da'an Palace without his permission."

"...?"

Gao Shilian slowly turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji.

Zhang Sun Wuji: "I went to Da'an Palace but was driven out by Hegan Chengji."

Snapped!
Gao Shilian angrily hit Changsun Wuji on the forehead.

"uncle?"

"Care leads to confusion!"

Gao Shilian kicked off the shoes that Changsun Wuji had put on for him, and slowly lay down under Changsun Wuji's dazed gaze.

"The prince has forbidden anyone to approach the Da'an Palace. It is obvious that he wants to speak to His Majesty about his true feelings."

"I thought so too, but there is also Su Chen!"

"That kid is smart. Now that the overall situation has been decided, he is just waiting for the crown prince to ascend the throne. He won't cause any trouble."

"Besides, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! The King of Wu and the others are all in their fiefdoms, and the Crown Prince is the only one holding power in Chang'an City. Your Majesty shouldn't do anything to the Crown Prince..."

Gao Shilian waved his hand indifferently, "You were so startled that you almost sent your uncle away!"

Zhang Sun Wuji smiled awkwardly, "I'm not worried about His Majesty and the Crown Prince..."

"Why don't you go over and take a look, uncle?"

"Don't go, don't go."

Gao Shilian waved his hand and said, "You should do what you want to do!"

"This is a matter between a father and his son. Why should we, as outsiders, interfere?"

"Do you think His Majesty doesn't hate you enough, or that there are too few things going on with you?"

"Uh... my uncle taught me that."

……

Da'an Palace.

Li Chengqian silently picked up the teacup, poured a cup of tea for Li Shimin, and also poured a cup for Su Chen.

"I don't drink tea! I want to drink wine!"

Li Shimin expressionlessly knocked away the teacup handed to him by Li Chengqian.

With a bang, the tea and tea leaves spilled all over the floor.

Li Chengqian was not angry. He changed a new cup and filled it up again. "Father, you just got better. You shouldn't drink."

"By the way, let me introduce you again. This is my friend, Su Chen."

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Chengqian, then looked at Su Chen who was smiling beside him, not understanding what Li Chengqian was up to.

He moved back, leaned on the cushion, and said coldly, "Do you know why I called you here today?"

"The child doesn't know!"

"You are so good at pretending!"

Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian for a moment and shook his head. "I have become your prisoner. Many officials in the six ministries of the court have already taken the initiative to attach themselves to you. Why do you continue to pretend to be a good person in front of me?"

Li Chengqian looked up at this time, with a faint smile on his face, "No, father, you are wrong."

"I was wrong again?!"

Li Shimin's voice suddenly rose a few notches.

Li Chengqian nodded calmly, "Father, you are wrong!"

"Originally, when I learned that you wanted to see me, I was unwilling to come because I killed my fourth and fifth brothers."

"It is true that now that they are dead, the resentment in my heart has subsided, but I don't know how to face my father."

"But I know even more that if I don't come, my father's anger will not dissipate, which is not good for his health."

"My father doesn't know his own faults and keeps dwelling on them. If this continues, he will only become depressed."

Li Shimin couldn't help but sneered, "I've been locked up in Da'an Palace by you, and you're still worried that I'll lose my morale?"

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Although I won this game by chance, the world is so big and the situation is so chaotic that I still need my father's guidance." Li Chengqian's humble attitude made Li Shimin a little dazed.

Is this really the prince he had in mind?

seem.

I haven't seen him like this since Xuanwu Gate.

"The reason why the child said that his father was wrong is because his father made a mistake that all fathers are prone to make."

"Some people say that the emperor loves his eldest son, while the people love their youngest son."

"But, we are all human beings, so father shouldn't be too partial. He should at least treat us equally. Even if he can't, he should at least share some of his love with me, right, father?"

"So the child has resentment and hatred in his heart!"

"But no matter what, they are still my brothers, especially Qingque..."

Li Shimin said coldly: "How dare you mention Qingque?!"

Li Chengqian looked at him again, as if he had returned to the moment of the rebellion.

Li Shimin's face darkened instantly, and he glared at him, but Li Chengqian ignored him and continued, "Qingque and I are from the same mother and were born in the same year. We can't say that we have a very good relationship, but it should be so!"

"But what's the result?"

"Because my father named me the crown prince, my relationship with Qingque has become somewhat distant, but it is only the gap between the crown prince and the emperor's younger brother."

"But my father's partiality has led Qingque to have the ambition to get involved in the Eastern Palace. Once this ambition grows, it is like a door of desire that has been opened, and it is difficult to fill it!"

"This is what Su Chen said that day: yesterday's cause, today's result."

"Mr. Lu taught me to be self-disciplined and to return to propriety, Mr. Kong taught me to give up my pears, and Mr. Wei taught me to get along with my brothers..."

"I am the elder brother, I am the prince, I should be tolerant and give in to him!"

"Yes, I should have been tolerant of him. I gave in time and time again, and what did I get in return? Doesn't my father know?"

“You turned a blind eye.”

"Father, I am also your child. I am not a saint, father!"

"I don't want to rebel, but I don't want to become the hidden prince even more!"

"You have your pride, but I also have my dignity!"

"I can't back off anymore father!"

"The moment I'm no longer the crown prince, I'll be dead!"

Faced with Li Chengqian's heartfelt words, Li Shimin remained silent, but couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Because he knew that what Li Chengqian said was true.

"But you shouldn't have killed them, you really shouldn't have killed them!"

Li Shimin sighed, "As long as I am here, they won't dare to do anything to you..."

"If they don't die, I will be the one who dies."

Li Chengqian remained calm, "I can't just sit there and surrender. At least, I don't want to die."

"Besides, how much do you believe what your father said?"

"Du Chuke and his men jointly wrote a petition to remove the crown prince. Didn't father see it?"

"You saw it, but you still didn't want to believe it."

"Because you feel in your heart that this is just a ridiculous thing done by your favorite bluebird, and it makes you laugh just thinking about it."

"Crown Prince, the position of heir to the throne, the weight of the Eastern Palace, how can you just dismiss him if they want to?"

"It takes time to build a three-foot-thick ice!"

"I don't dare to gamble. It's your attitude that makes me dare not gamble and dare not believe you!"

"I sincerely ask for help from my mother. I really hope that as a father, you can appear in front of my mother's grave and say something wise: Go home. I will teach Qingque a lesson for what he did ridiculously..."

"But you didn't."

As Li Chengqian spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Just like that day at Xuanwu Gate, you rushed into the palace with a long sword in hand, but you were reluctant to look at us mother and son for even a second..."

"do not talk."

Li Shimin suddenly raised his hand to stop Li Chengqian.

However, Li Chengqian once again did not stop talking, "It's not good to kill my brothers and my father, but how can I feel good about it?"

"Stop talking! I told you to stop talking!"

Li Shimin stood up angrily and kicked over the table and chair in front of him. His eyes were red and filled with tears.

Clang.

As the last cup of tea fell to the ground, Li Chengqian smiled, shook off the tea on his body, glanced at Su Chen who jumped away in a hurry, and said jokingly: "You are also surprised that your father would cry, right?"

Su Chen: "It's not surprising, but I didn't expect that he would cry because of you."

Li Chengqian smiled and wiped away his tears, "Because I hit him in the sore spot."

Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian like a vicious tiger, "As the Son of Heaven, how can I feel pain?"

Li Chengqian said slowly: "When I was forced to kill Qingque and the others, you felt as miserable as Grandpa Huang."

"enough!"

"That's enough! Li Chengqian!"

Li Shimin angrily picked up the teapot that was scattered in front of him and was about to smash it on Li Chengqian's head.

Li Chengqian did not move, and even raised his hand to stop Su Chen.

"Father and son are connected by heart."

"My father knew that what I said was right, and I also knew that what I said was right, but my father was unwilling to admit it."

"Father's rage is only a cover-up for your fear and terror!"

"you……"

Li Shimin grabbed Li Chengqian's collar with one hand and held the teapot tightly with the other, wishing he could smash it down and put an end to it once and for all.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, Your Majesty."

Su Chen sighed, took out a scroll from his left sleeve, and slowly unfolded it in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at him, and the anger on his face disappeared in an instant.

Clang.

The teapot fell.

Li Shimin walked up to Su Chen, took the scroll from his hand, and couldn't help crying.

"Guanyin Maid..."

"Father, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"I shouldn't do this!"

Looking at the grief-stricken Li Shimin, Li Chengqian laughed three times, with tears in his laughter.

Under Su Chen's somewhat confused gaze, he walked in front of Li Shimin, knelt on the ground, and hugged Li Shimin.

"Father, I was wrong."

"Woooooooo..."

Mother.

What the hell are you doing?

The sudden scene of deep love between father and son made Su Chen stunned, and his nose suddenly felt a little sour.

did not expect……

The portrait of Empress Wende is so useful?
At this moment, Su Chen felt that as an outsider, he should not be in the hall.

wrong!

Su Chen, who was about to avoid suspicion and leave, suddenly stopped.

He looked Li Shimin up and down, thinking, what a great general he is to conquer the north. Of course, this is just something he can only think about.

a long time.

The father and son finally stopped crying.

Su Chen picked his ears, looked at the father and son, and sat back at the table.

Li Chengqian picked up the new teapot again.

"I'm full, I'm full."

Su Chen raised his hand hastily to interrupt, "I'm full, no need to give me more tea."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It's not for you."

Su Chen: "..."

This is a bit hurtful.

"The Ministry of Rites has already sent us an auspicious date, but I think it's too hasty."

Li Chengqian spoke slowly, "It will be mid-winter in two days, and students from all over the country will have exams soon, so I informed the Ministry of Rites to postpone the coronation ceremony until the exams are over."

Li Shimin wiped away his tears, picked up the teacup, and said sparingly: "Yes."

Li Chengqian stretched out his right hand towards Su Chen.

"You took over the Tang Dynasty from Grandfather Emperor and created the prosperous Zhenguan Era. Now I am taking over the Tang Dynasty from you and I should start a new career."

"hehe."

Li Shimin looked at it calmly.

Su Chen took out a crumpled scroll from his right sleeve. Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the look he gave Su Chen added a bit of murderous intent.

Su Chen coughed and explained, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is a map, a world map."

"It's just because this thing is so common that I threw it under the car, so it looks a bit dirty!"

At the end, Su Chen added considerately, "It's definitely not a portrait of Emperor Gaozu!"

ps: When I woke up, the sky fell. A big brother gave me a reward, but it didn’t show in the background. The writer’s assistant only showed the amount but not the name. Thank you to this big brother for the 5,000 points reward!
