Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 509 Mental Illness Rescues the Prince

"Mr. Cen, why didn't you help me just now? If Mr. Cen could help me just now, then we can definitely make Li You an accomplice of Li Chengqian.

As long as Li You became Li Chengqian's accomplice, then Li You's Dunhuafang must belong to this king. "

Walking out of Li Shimin's room, Li Tai followed Cen Wenwen and complained very much, you know, in Li Tai's view, just now was the best chance to knock Li You down, as long as Cen Wenwen helped him, then he would The strength has soared, and the position of the crown prince is at your fingertips.

But just after Li You finished complaining, Cen Wenwen looked at Li Tai and said, "Your Highness, you are too impatient, can't you see that His Majesty didn't want to respond to you? You just want to turn Li You and the Crown Prince into one party." , will only make His Majesty hate you."

"What do you mean, does the emperor still want to protect the crown prince, you must know that the crown prince is a serious crime of treason." Li Tai became a little surprised.

"Whether it will be guaranteed or not, the veteran dare not say anything, but what the veteran dares to say at this moment is that you must not throw stones at the prince..." After finishing speaking, Cen Wenwen left.

To be honest, Li Tai had listened to Cen Wenwen's words at the end, and after all the way back to Chang'an, he never mentioned the matter of Li Chengqian and Li You, and because of this, Li Shimin's dislike for Li Tai was a little bit better .

After five days, Li Shimin finally returned to Chang'an. After Li Shimin arrived in Chang'an, the first thing he did was to go to the Prince's East Palace. After the two father and son met, Li Shimin found that Li Chengqian was still living by the tombstone of Xinxin, and he sighed slightly. : "When you are the prince, you can't be with him, but if you are not the prince, then it doesn't matter if you are here."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said with a smile: "Thank you, Father, I have let you down. Fortunately, I didn't succeed. If I succeed, I will only make mistakes."

"You know that I love you." Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

To be honest, Li Shimin loves Li Chengqian, the eldest son, because Li Chengqian is the son of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun five years later, and both of them were worried that they would have no children.

So when Li Chengqian was born, Li Shimin gave a lot of love and care. When Li Chengqian was still in his infancy, Li Shimin went to find his father and asked him to make his newborn eldest son king.Although King Hengshan is only a famous name, it can be seen that Li Shimin attaches great importance to this son.

When Xiao Chengqian was more than five years old, he personally invited two masters of Confucianism to be his son's first teachers and teach him Confucian classics.After he became the emperor, he immediately made this intelligent eldest son the crown prince. At this time, Li Chengqian was only eight years old, and he had already impressed Li Shimin.

In order to cultivate his son's ability, Li Shimin took Li Chengqian to contact with different government affairs since he was a child. When Xiao Chengqian was 12 years old, he was able to handle political affairs for his father Li Shimin with ease.

Every time Li Shimin needs to go out to inspect the people's situation, he will ask Li Chengqian to supervise the country and handle the affairs of the DPRK and China.Li Chengqian did not disappoint him, and won the praise of many officials.

Li Chengqian's cleverness made Li Shimin happy, but his weak body also worried the old father.

Once, Li Chengqian was seriously ill, and Li Shimin felt sorry for his son.For this reason, Li Shimin, who has never been superstitious, even invited Taoist priests from the Taoist temple to drive away the "sickness" in Li Chengqian's body.

After his son recovered from his illness, he did not relax because of this. Instead, he called [-] people to the temple to pray for his son.

At the same time, in order to reduce God's "punishment" on his son, he downgraded all the crimes of the prisoners in the prison to one level.

We all know that amnesty is generally only implemented when the new emperor ascends the throne or when there are major events in the country. However, Li Shimin released all the prisoners except for capital crimes because of his son's Canadian dollars.

Not only that, in order to let the whole world celebrate, Li Shimin, who has never liked extravagance and waste, even held a three-day banquet and invited all the officials to participate.Li Chengqian got married and Li Chengqian gave birth to a son. He also held a big banquet and rewarded Li Chengqian and his officials with many things, which shows how much Li Shimin loves this eldest son.

When Li Chengqian accidentally got a foot disease, Li Shimin was very distressed, and specially sent someone to search for famous doctors in the world, and then treated his son.Li Chengqian's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he asked his son to stay in the East Palace to rest well and not have to go to court early.

When there were important political affairs to be dealt with, he did not forget to visit his son.In order to make Li Chengqian more outstanding, so that the ministers can sincerely support Li Chengqian, he also invited the most authoritative ministers in the court to teach his son.

Li Shimin really loves Li Chengqian, so Li Shimin has such a problem at this time.

"My son knows that my father loves my son. It's just that after my son suffered from leg problems, his temperament changed drastically. He became manic and restless, and became fond of thinking wildly. He was worried that his father would no longer love his son, and he was also worried that his father Will give Qing Que the crown prince position of Erchen, so he made a wrong step and got to where he is today.

However, in the final analysis, it was all my son's fault, and my son was willing to die to thank the world. "

"Chengqian. Why didn't you understand earlier." After listening to Li Chengqian's words at this time, Li Shimin felt a pain in his heart. Why couldn't his child understand this earlier? If he understood this earlier, would there be rebellion?
"Father, one has to go through experiences before one grows up. It's just that my son's experience is a bit too absurd. Although he has grown up, he made a big mistake. Everyone who makes a big mistake will be punished. It's the same for the son-in-law who used to be the prince. The emperor gave the son-in-law a glass of poisonous wine.

By the way, Father, before drinking the poisonous wine, the minister wants to ask Father to bring these to Sizi, Zhinu, Qingque and Li You.! "

"What are these?" Li You looked at the things Li Chengqian handed over, and found that they were some small pendants, then Li Chengqian said with a smile: "These are a few small pendants carved by my son in his spare time. Polished with rosewood.

Leave a thought for my younger brothers and sisters, father, your minister is not prepared, and I don't want my father to remember me as a traitor! "

"Chengqian..." Looking at his eldest son who was sensible at this time, Li Shimin really didn't know what to say, and his eyes were slightly foggy.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian showed a bright smile and said: "Father, I deserve what I deserve, and I am a heinous bastard, so I don't need to have any nostalgia for my son.

In fact, the son-in-law can go down to accompany the mother-in-law first, the mother-in-law is too lonely, with the son-in-law's company, the mother-in-law will not be lonely. "

When Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin really burst into tears.

Turning around, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Chengqian, don't think about accompanying your mother, your younger brothers and sisters want you to accompany me, and I also want you to accompany me. You did do something wrong, but you know your mistake, you know your mistake If you can change, you are a good boy.

Don't worry, you will be fine, I will definitely keep you alive! "After finishing speaking, Li Shimin strode away, because Li Shimin couldn't do it anymore, Li Shimin's tears fell uncontrollably, and if he didn't leave, his son would see a joke.

Today's meeting made Li Shimin firm in one of his thoughts, that he must keep Li Chengqian, no matter what the price is, the child has already admitted his mistake, and he should not be given to death.

If Li You were here, he would definitely be dumbfounded, because in real history, the conversation between father and son is not like this.

According to historical records, Li Shimin once asked Li Chengqian face-to-face why he conspired against him. At this time, Li Chengqian was full of resentment, and said such a passage, if you hadn't raised troops to kill your brother back then, so that these bastards could see the hope of seizing the heir, today, My brothers wouldn't have had anything wrong with it, and I wouldn't have been pushed to this point by them.

Li Shimin was really heartbroken after hearing this.

But now it became a little strange. Li Chengqian didn't know why he suddenly lost his resentment. After meeting Li Shimin, he became free and easy, and deeply realized his mistakes, which strengthened Li Shimin's determination to protect Li Chengqian.

After going to court the next day, Li Shimin specially called Li You, Li Zhi, Li Mingda, and Li Lizhi to the court, because these four people were protecting Li Chengqian, so for his eldest son, Li Shimin broke up and let the two princesses go to court. Participated in the court meeting.

After going to court, Li You was the first to bear the brunt of it. In front of all the ministers, he said something about Li Chengqian. Li You first told how serious Li Chengqian's leg disease was, and he endured the pain of leg disease all the time.

Secondly, he talked about Li Chengqian's pressure as the prince. After the lecture, Li You explained to Li Shimin that because Li Chengqian's spirit was a little broken, he would do some unpredictable things.

Seriously, when Li You was talking, Li Tai really wanted to rush up and spout a few words, all his nonsense, Li You was just clearing the charges for a conspirator, or something mentally problematic, the relationship is good, isn't it? In the future law, as long as there is a mental problem, you can be exonerated.

After that, I drove a carriage back and forth on Chang'an Avenue, killing one after another. When I was caught, I said I had a mental problem. After that, who can control me?

To be honest, at this moment Li Tai looked at Li You's eloquent narration, and really wanted to go up and slap the other party, but Li Tai knew that he couldn't interrupt, if he interrupted, Li Shimin would definitely be angry .

But Li Tai saw that Li Shimin was very excited at this time, his eyes lit up, which let Li Tai know that what Cen Wenwen said was right, Li Shimin didn't want Li Chengqian to die. location.

As long as he became the prince, whether Li Chengqian died or not, it really didn't matter.

"Father, all the ministers, this king has finished speaking. According to what I have said, this king believes that the crown prince is guilty, but the crime does not deserve death." After speaking, Li You looked at Li Shimin and all the ministers in the court.
