Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 593 Killing a son and passing on a younger brother falls short

"stop!"

Amidst the sound of galloping horses, a soldier yelled to stop, but although the soldier had already yelled loudly, the opponent's horse didn't seem to want to stop.

Because the people riding on the backs of this group of horses are the children of some royal families.

In ancient times, the hierarchical system was still very strict, and the children of those famous families would not treat ordinary people as adults at all. Riding like this in Chang'an City would easily hurt the people.

But this group of privileged children of a prominent family has no scruples at all.

In the past, as long as you rushed past the soldier in front of you, you could escape and leave with a smile, but today, when this group of children from the prominent family felt a little different, just as they ignored the order of the soldier and continued to ride When the horse is charging forward.

Suddenly, another voice sounded.

"The warning has passed, the archers are ready to shoot!"

Just when the children of the prominent families showed laughing expressions and wanted to rush past the group of soldiers like before, a pair of archers suddenly appeared from the back row of this group of soldiers, and they fired a round of damage at themselves.

He didn't even give him time to stop for interrogation, it was just a round of bows and arrows, and what's even more frightening was that this round of bows and arrows was not to scare you, but really wanted your life.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The sound of arrows entering the body was endless, followed by the sound of people falling from horseback. At this moment, all the horses stopped moving forward, and an uninjured young man shouted to the group of soldiers in front: "You look for death, dare to use bows and arrows in Chang'an, do you know who we are, we are from the Zhou family, our Zhou family has a second-rank official in the court, if we want to show up, you will die, all of you will die, Do you dare to say your name?"

At this moment, a man in armor came out and looked at the group of people screaming on the ground and said slightly: "My name is Li Zhi, King Jin of the Tang Dynasty, and also the General of the Tigers of the Tang Dynasty, of course, Now I am still training in the new army, and my current identity is the first division, one regiment, one battalion, one platoon general of the Huben Guard. You have violated the law of the Tang Dynasty by riding wildly in the city of Chang'an, and after I warned you again No one responded, but continued to break the law, and then I will punish you.

But don't worry. You will receive careful treatment. Of course, you also have the right to submit a report. However, you'd better go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to receive punishment after receiving the treatment. Otherwise, no matter where you hide, the punishment will definitely come. follow you. "

"You, you, you are Hubenwei?"

At this time, the children of the prominent families finally became afraid because they knew that the Huben Guards had finished their three-month military training, and now they started to take over the inspection work in Chang'an City. The general is Li You, king of Qi, and the general is Li Zhi, king of Jin.

There are also many children of important court officials who are generals among them, so don’t mess with Hubenwei, at least now that Hubenwei is in Chang’an, as long as they are right, you can’t frame them.

The people in front of them did not expect that they would meet Huben Wei just after returning to Chang'an. Originally, they came to Chang'an to run for the son-in-law and to be admitted to Chang'an University. Knowing his crime, the future must be gone.

Thinking of this, a group of children from prominent families lowered their heads bitterly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Zhi had reported everything to Li Shimin about what he did today. After listening to these reports, Li Shimin showed a gratified expression on the corner of his mouth and said: "Okay, the young slave is finally a bit of an emperor. That's right, how did you find out about Li You, and whether there are other armed forces outside of him.

Zhang Jingzhen can't entrust him with these things. After all, he and Li You still have a younger sister. It's not that I don't believe him, but I just don't want to be in danger. "

After listening to this, Yang Qu raised his head and showed his smiling face, thinking that every time Li Heng met him, he would call Grandpa Yang affectionately, thinking that Quan Zhixi, Shao Yiyi, Cui Xiuniang would salute and call him when they saw him Say Yang Gong.

Xiao Yan'er even rubbed her legs after knowing that her legs were numb.

Thinking of this, Yang Qu said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have been monitoring King Qi. Apart from what we know, there is absolutely no other armed force around King Qi."

"Okay!" Yang Qu's affirmation made Li Shimin smile: "This is the best, you'd better send some people around Li You, these people must be able to monitor Li You at all times, and don't let him act rashly Chance."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Yang Qu bowed.

At this time, Li Shimin sighed: "I have no second choice. Now I can only ensure that the child grows up. Now I only have the choice of child."

The reason why he said such words was because Li Tai, an idiot, finally said the words that made him lose the crown prince. This is a very stupid sentence, which is not like what Wei Wang Li Tai said, but the fact is what he said.

Li You should be blamed for this matter, because Li You led Li Zhi to put more and more pressure on Li Tai. This kind of pressure made Li Tai feel a little out of breath, which was the pressure that Li Chengqian never gave.

The crown prince was clearly in sight, but Li Tai still couldn't grasp it, which made Li Tai feel very depressed. On a very ordinary day, Li Tai went to the palace to see Li Shimin.

During this period of time, Li Tai would go into the palace almost every day to get in touch with his father. Today is a very normal day, because Li Tai knew that as long as he behaved filially enough, Li Shimin would pass on the crown prince to him, after all Li Shimin has already given a verbal promise.

The father and son stayed happily for a while, playing chess and reading, but what made Li Tai frown slightly was that Li Shimin had been talking to him about Li Zhi's changes during this time.

What this kid has turned black, what this kid has become stronger, what shocked Li Tai even more is that Li Shimin actually said that this kid Li Zhi is more and more like himself, you must know that Li Shimin only talked about Li Ke, Yingguo Like me, but Li Ke is not afraid, Li Ke will never be the emperor.

Because Li Ke's pedigree is too mixed, but Li Zhi is different. You must know that Li Zhi's pedigree is not mixed. He is the same as himself, and he is also Li Shimin's son. If Li Shimin changes his mind, he will be finished. Li Tai couldn't sit still anymore.He remembered that when he was young, if he wanted something, he could get it by acting like a baby with his father. He felt that he should not sit still and take the initiative to attack.

So Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin tentatively and asked, "Father, is your promise still valid?"

This promise of course refers to Li Shimin's verbal promise to make Li Tai the prince. Li Shimin's words stunned Li Shimin on the side. After thinking about it, Li Shimin still expressed his worries to his favorite fat son. .

It turned out that in order to win the throne, he cruelly killed his brother, and he has been living in guilt and remorse for so many years.Especially when he saw several of his sons taking risks for the throne, he was afraid that history would repeat itself again. He had more than a dozen sons. If they really fought in the end, it would definitely be more tragic than the cannibalism between him and his brothers back then.

That's why Li Shimin wavered all the time.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Tai didn't know if he had made a mistake in his brain. He immediately felt that this matter was easy to solve, so he immediately shouted: "If my father makes me the prince, I will definitely take care of it in the future." Kill all the sons and pass the throne to the younger brother!"

Then he plunged into Li Shimin's arms and acted coquettishly. Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard that, and asked subconsciously: "You have eight or nine younger brothers. Which younger brother will you pass on to in a hundred years?"

Li Tai happily replied: "Father, do you think it's okay for me to pass on the throne to the ninth younger brother Jin Wang Li Zhi?" Then he threw himself into Li Shimin's arms and acted like a baby. Li Shimin was very moved when he heard that Hug it, and immediately promised that Li Tai will be crowned prince.

The next day, Li Shimin discussed with the officials: "Chengqian conspired against himself, and the king of Wei promised me that as long as he was made the prince, he would kill his son and pass it to the king of Jin in the future. I was very moved and agreed to him." gone."

When Li Shimin said this, the ministers were all shocked. The shock was not that Li Tai was made the prince, but Li Tai promised Li Shimin that in order to become the prince, he would "kill his son and pass on his younger brother" in the future. Even if it is passed on to his younger brother, no emperor has ever existed It's just Li Tai's lie that he would do such a thing of murder.

Changsun Wuji heard and said: "Your Majesty, you can't believe what King Wei said. If you believe it, King Jin and other princes will be in danger!" Li Shimin hadn't woken up yet, and said: "The King of Wei has promised me that he will definitely meet in the future." I don't think he would do that if he passed the throne to King Jin."

At this moment, the minister Chu Suiliang stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, what the king of Wei said is too unreasonable. How can my brother have a son? If he dares to kill his son, let alone my brother? Please the emperor put Jin The king settled it properly."

These words hit the key point, yes, brother or son, which one is closer, even a fool can choose, Li Tai is obviously lying.

Li Shimin's face changed drastically, and his heart finally came to his senses.

There was disagreement between Chu Suiliang and Li Tai. Before Li Chengqian was abolished, after Li Shimin got the finished draft of "Kuo Di Zhi" edited by Li Tai, he rewarded Li Tai with a large amount of property, even surpassing the crown prince. Li Chengqian's specification,

Chu Suiliang had to go to Shu to persuade him.However, Li Shimin did not cut Li Tai's expenses because of this, but canceled the crown prince's expenditure restrictions. Chu Tunliang was also demoted. Although he was promoted later, he was still not so straightforward. Will play tricks.
