"My son is paying homage to my father!"

Li Tai tried to curl his body and knelt in front of Li Shimin. His tone of speaking was trembling.

Although he did not ask specifically and felt that there was no suspense in his position as crown prince, Zhang Qing still completed the task given to him by Li Shimin and told him about Li Shimin's idea of ​​becoming a crown prince.

This time, Li Tai was very happy to have a dream come true, and he was floating, full of joy and yearning for the future.

"Get up! Qingque..." Li Shimin said sadly, sighing: "Do you know about your brother?"

Li Tai's eyes were red in an instant and he said angrily: "The father trusts and values ​​the prince so much. The prince is really confused. It is too much to collude with outsiders and do such a traitor. The child feels sad for the father. The prince is too unfair."

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "It is said that the royal family has no affection. For the sake of his father, he had to protect himself. I really didn't want your brothers to be like the father and brothers and feet..." He said, tears were about to hang down, "Now Chengqian has done such a disobedient thing, and the prince will not be able to stay here. Qingque is the second son of the legitimate son. What if you are the prince?"

Li Tai threw himself into Li Shimin's arms with heartache and cried, "The child will never do anything disobedient, and he will not kill each other."

He was crying in his eyes, but his heart was filled with joy, and his mouth couldn't control it. He floated up and added: "The son minister only has one son. When the son minister dies, he should be killed by his father and the emperor. He passed it on to the sagenu, and he was the only brother."

“…”

Li Shimin was stupid. His brain was so abnormal that he could only say this.

His original intention was to test how Li Tai would deal with Li Chengqian. How could he draw such shocking words that were unthinkable and kill his son for justice?

This kills not only your son, but my grandson...

Li Shimin looked at his son in his arms and realized that he was indeed spoiled by him. Even at this moment, he couldn't bear to scold him and said, "Green Bird goes down and prepare. When the father's will, we will set off and return to Chang'an."

Li Tai wiped his tears and left happily.

After returning to his senses, Li Shimin called Zhang Qing again and asked him to call Li Zhi in the same way.

Li Zhi also asked about the situation last night, but unlike Li Tai, he did not stuff money.

Zhang Qing didn't care, and truthfully explained what happened last night, and then congratulated Li Zhi.

Of course, Li Zhi did not show too much surprise.

When he arrived at Shangwang Pavilion, Li Zhi knelt in front of Li Shimin and said the first sentence was: "Father, I heard that the prince and Hou Junji rebelled? How could it be that the prince is the crown prince who will be attacked in the future, and the world is his. Is this a misunderstanding? The emperor has no reason to rebel."

Li Shimin said tragically: "I want to know what's wrong with my father. If Hou Junji hadn't been close to him, my father wouldn't believe this fact. Now the crown prince confesses his guilt and Hou Junji is in prison, everything is irreversible."

Li Zhi said in a trembling voice: "Then, what will happen to the prince?"

Li Shimin sighed: "The crime of rebellion is the leader of all crimes, the prince... the crime is unforgivable."

"Father!" Li Zhi kowtowed and said, "The prince and you are soluble in water. You can spare him for the sake of your mother."

Li Shimin said: "You can forgive him, how can your father explain to all officials?"

Li Zhi said with his teeth: "This is our family, why should we explain it to anyone? I don't believe it. Someone dares to force his father to kill his parents..."

Li Shimin nodded with relief, helped Li Zhi up and said, "You are right, but my father doesn't believe it either."

As a parent, no matter how big the child makes, most of the mistakes he gets are forgiven.

Li Shimin never thought of taking Li Chengqian's life, nor was he allowed to think about it.

He never mentioned the matter of abolishing the establishment and asked Li Zhi to go back and prepare to return to Chang'an.

The crown prince rebelled, and Hou Jun, the first military officer, gathered troops to attack the sage. This incident has become the biggest case in the Zhenguan period.

As soon as Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he immediately summoned Situ Changsun Wuji, Sikong Fang Xuanling, Shizhong Wei Zheng, and specially promoted Xiao Yu, Minister of War Li Ji, Minister of War Sun Fujia, Minister of Dali Cen Wenben, Minister of the Secretariat Ma Zhou, and Censor Chu Suiliang, and ordered them to be responsible for handling the rebellion case.

There is almost no need to ask this kind of question in the case of rebellion. Li Chengqian has already accepted his fate, confessed to all kinds of accusations, and truthfully explained everything he had planned.

King Li Yuanchang of Han, King Li You of Qi, Hou Junji, Princess Chengyang's son-in-law Du He and other co-conspirators said one by one.

Du He, Helan Chushi, Hegan Chengji, Zhang Sizheng and others also came to the Internet.

The Dali minister Sun Fujia, the Minister of the Secretariat Cen Wenben, the Censor Ma Zhou, and the counselor Chu Suiliang interrogated them respectively and also asked about Li Chengqian's many evil deeds.

This includes the assassination case of Li Yuanai Lakeside, a long time ago...

The entire interrogation process went very quickly. In just half an hour, Li Chengqian's crime had already been presented to Li Shimin's imperial case.

Li Shimin never expected that his son had done so many bad deeds behind his back, and he could not even do anything to the dead Hou Junji.

Especially the attack on Li Yuanai...

Ethically speaking, Li Yuanai was Li Chengqian's uncle. This nephew attacked his uncle for a trivial matter, which was very ethical. Moreover, Li Yuanai occupied a considerable proportion of this rebellion. From the discovery to the rescue of the Shangwang Pavilion, it can be said that he was the first person to quell the rebellion case and suppress the smallest situation, and made great contributions to the court.

Now that he has become a victim, it is difficult to deal with this.

The civil and military officials were not talented and dared not give a judgment directly, and threw all the disposal rights to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also very embarrassed and couldn't help but kill his son, but as the emperor, he could not openly take the lead in violating the law, especially in such a major case of rebellion. He kicked the ball, took this difficult problem upside down, threw it to the ministers, and asked them what they should do.

In this case, even Wei Zheng dared not stand up and talk.

Li Yuanai had to bite the bullet and go out and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and you should be an example of the world. The prince and you are both ministers and parents. You should severely punish and warn the world but not harm your life. In this way, the superiors will not lose the king of lords and the subordinates will not lose the kindness of the father."

Only as a "victim", he is qualified to speak out.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanai with some gratitude and issued the final verdict: "Depose the position of Prince Li Chengqian, demote him to a commoner, and exil to Qianzhou."

When this judgment was made, Li Shimin was trembling in his words. He spent a lot of effort and energy on Li Chengqian's careful cultivation and patient teaching, but now everything has become empty.

Li Chengqian's judgment was a foregone conclusion and came to an end. The civil and military officials in the court did not dare or understood Li Shimin, but no one had the intention to refute it.

But the atmosphere in the temple did not relax because of this, but became more solemn.
