The night is like thick ink, spreading in every corner of the palace, making the originally majestic palace look more solemn and mysterious in the night. The Milky Way pours down, and the stars are dotted, as if the gods in the sky are watching all this silently.
.
Li Yun's family of three walked quietly in the night, their steps were light but cautious, each step seemed to be carrying a heavy burden. Their destination was the splendid and powerful palace deep in the palace, where lived
The supreme Li Shimin.
Li Yun's wife cuddled tightly beside him, with a bit of uneasiness and worry on her face, as if she had a premonition of what was about to happen. Her hand held Li Yun's hand tightly, and her fingers trembled slightly, as if seeking
His courage and strength. Their son looked up at his father, curiosity and anxiety flashing in his bright eyes. He still didn't understand the meaning of all this, but instinctively felt a tense atmosphere.
They crossed corridors and bridges and walked through patches of flowers. The night wind blew by, bringing bursts of fragrance of flowers, but it could not dispel the worries in their hearts. The gate of the palace was majestic, and the guards guarding the gate looked at everyone who approached.
Li Yun took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and walked forward with his wife and children.
They were introduced into the palace and passed through the splendid corridors. The corridors were lined with exquisite murals and gorgeous furnishings, all showing the royal dignity and majesty. However, in Li Yun's eyes, all of this was just a passing cloud. In his heart,
The only thing is that I am about to meet Li Shimin.
Finally, they arrived at Li Shimin's residence. Li Shimin was sitting under the dragon chair. The dragon chair was finely carved, inlaid with gems, and emitted dazzling light. Li Shimin's eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts. I was silent
He stared at Li Min's family of eight, as if waiting for our arrival.
However, Cheng Qiao could still enter the palace at that time. I stood in the palace, looking at this magnificent palace, and my heart was filled with helplessness and expectation. I knew that I had to wait, wait for Cheng Qiaoying's summons, wait for this
An opportunity that can change my destiny.
At this moment, the palace is solemn and solemn. Li Shimin is sitting under the splendid dragon chair. My eyes are deep and hesitant, as if I can see all the reality and reality in the world. There are countless gems inlaid under the dragon chair, which are dazzling and reflect me.
The majestic figure. The air in the hall seemed to be frozen, except for the smell of ambergris that filled the air.
Beside me, a eunuch was hunched over, reporting the latest news carefully. The eunuch's voice was high and thick, and every word seemed to reverberate in the palace, stirring up layers of echoes.
"Your Majesty, the first prince Li Min went to see Concubine Yang first." The eunuch spoke at a steady pace, but there was no light weight in every word.
Cheng Qiao's wife is Songtsen Gampo's sister, a princess from a foreign land. Although she has a noble status, Cheng Qiaoying doesn't have much bad feelings towards you. Their personalities and living habits are very different, making
Li Shimin has always maintained an alienated attitude towards you. Therefore, I only want to see Li Min alone, but I would like to see my wife.
The eunuch was shocked. I knew that Cheng Qiaoying was not deeply relieved about the departure of family members and the changes in Chang'an City. However, I also understood that I could not give a definite answer to appease the worried emperor. So.
, I consoled me carefully: "Your Majesty, you must be too worried. Everyone has no own choice and destiny, but no matter where we are, we are all your people and relatives. We will remember
Your kindness will always make you care about the rise and fall of the country."
However, after a while, the eunuch came back again. There was a trace of determination on my face, as if there was nothing important to report. I walked up to Li Shimin and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the first prince is inside
I've been waiting for a long time, will you see me now?"
After listening to the eunuch's words, Li Shimin felt slightly comforted, but he still couldn't completely eliminate the worry in his heart. I knew that as an emperor, I didn't have much helplessness and sorrow.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and there was some meaning in his eyes. I did not expect that Li Min would appear in my palace so slowly. My fingers hit the armrest of the dragon chair hard, making a slight sound, as if thinking.
How to deal with that unexpected meeting.
The eunuch raised his head and said, "It's absolutely true, Your Majesty. Concubine Yang really said that."
"Let me back off!" Li Shimin's voice contained a bit of majesty, making it difficult to believe.
"What did he say?" Li Shimin stood up suddenly, his face changed slightly. My eyes flashed with anger and disappointment, as if I dared to doubt my ears. I clenched my fists, and my knuckles turned white from the exertion, showing that
It shows my inner excitement and satisfaction.
However, it was those trivial choices that brought together the prosperity of Xiaotang. I understand that every family member, whether a prince or a princess, is part of the royal bloodline. Our choices are right or wrong.
, all affecting the fate of the royal family.
The eunuch raised his head slightly and replied respectfully: "That's right, Your Majesty." I paused for a moment, as if trying to organize my words, and then continued, "The first prince did express his desire before he found Concubine Yang.
Go find the eighth prince Li Yun’s wishes. My words are full of concern and worry for my brothers. Obviously, I am very concerned about the safety of the eighth prince."
When the eunuch saw this, he dared not say anything and went in respectfully. I knew that His Majesty needed time to calm down his emotions. I just had to do my duty and wait for Your Majesty's call.
I pondered for a moment, and then said hastily: "I think it's because my sons and ministers are leaving me one after another, and the same is true for my younger ministers." There was a bit of sadness and helplessness in my voice, as if I was...
Feeling the love of time and the permanence of life.

, had already penetrated deep into my bones, and I could not give up. But at this moment, when I heard that Li Min went to find Concubine Yang, I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable expectation in my heart.
There was a doubtful decision in my voice. Obviously, Li Shimin was not willing to meet Li Min's wife. The reason for this was not as vague as mine.
Speaking of that, Cheng Qiaoying's voice revealed a bit of peace and anxiety. I was worried that my sons would leave me one by one, and that Chang'an City would become increasingly empty and hot. I asked:
"Is Li Zhi going to leave next?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath, and my eyes showed a bit of sharpness. I asked: "That eldest son, does he want to be under my rule? He actually wants to leave Chang'an."
"That's it, let's talk about that!" I waved my hand and motioned for the eunuch to come in. I knew that too little discussion would only make me more confused. I need time to think and plan for Xiao Tang's future.
.
The eunuch received the clear instructions from Li Shimin and did not hesitate at all. I immediately turned around, walked slowly out of the palace, and went back to meet Li Min. I knew that although His Majesty looked like water on the outside, he must be full of emotions in his heart.
Simple emotions. And Li Min's arrival may bring some new changes and break the backward situation.
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and a simple emotion surged in my heart. I originally thought that Cheng Qiao would stay in Chang'an with peace of mind and help him govern the country, but I didn't expect that I would not have such an idea. I thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "
Doesn’t this mean that Mr. Li Min wants to find Li Yun personally?”
I bowed respectfully, then raised my head and looked directly into Li Shimin's eyes. Their eyes met in the air, as if there was no visible force secretly competing.
I sighed deeply, as if I wanted to expel all the lightness in my heart from my body with that breath. Then, I opened my eyes, with a hesitant light in my eyes. I knew that I could be immersed in the memories of the past.
, I need to face reality and plan for Xiao Tang’s future.
The eunuch nodded and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. The first prince seems to be very concerned about the whereabouts of the eighth prince. I hope to find me personally to ensure that I am in danger."
Li Shimin nodded, and a simple emotion surged in my heart, neither help nor sadness. I originally thought that I could find Li Yun's whereabouts through Li Min's back, but now it seems that that road is also
It was smooth. That made me wonder whether I could really control everything and whether I could really protect my sons.
Although there is no joy in her heart, Cheng Qiaoying knows that as an emperor, I must remain calm and rational. Li Min is my son, and even if there is no barrier or arrogance between the two, I can still ignore it.
We are related by blood. I took a deep breath, nodded, and motioned to the eunuch beside me to ask Li Min to step back.
When the eunuch heard that, he also became silent. I know that Li Shimin must be very happy about the departure of his son and ministers. But I also understand that it is something that can be avoided. No one can
Your own choices and destiny are determined by law.
After hearing this, Li Shimin fell into deep contemplation. I sat under the dragon chair with my eyes as bright as a torch, as if I wanted to see everything through. Although the eunuch's words brought some comfort, they revealed less of a reality that could not be avoided -
—Every member of the royal family has his or her own life trajectory. As an emperor, I have the ability to control them one by one.
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, and a simple emotion surged in my heart. I was disappointed because Concubine Yang did not directly tell me the whereabouts of Li Yun; I was also relieved because at most Concubine Yang still cared about my opinion.
Have you made any decisions on your own?
After a while, Li Min's figure appeared at the door of the palace. I was wearing a fancy dress, and I looked majestic, but there was a hint of retreat and determination in my face. I walked back from the palace with hesitant steps and came to Cheng Qiaoying.
behind the face.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm down the fluctuations in my heart. I knew that I could be carried away by anger like that. I had to calm down and think about the ins and outs of the matter.
The eunuch stood firm for a moment, and then replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the first prince may just want to find the eighth prince out of concern for his brothers, and he has no intention of leaving your rule. I have always been loyal to you.
Geng Geng also devotes himself to the governance of the country."
I sat back down, clasped my hands under the armrests of the dragon chair, and stared at the eunuch with burning eyes: "Concubine Yang really said that?" My voice was high and weak, revealing a majesty that could not be doubted.
Cheng Qiaoying frowned slightly, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. I was silent for a moment, and then said warmly: "I am the only one I see!"
The eunuch immediately bowed to accept the order and was about to turn around to invite Li Min. However, I suddenly remembered something, stood firm, and asked, "Where are my wives and children? Do you want to bring them back too?"
Li Shimin closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. I knew that that matter was far simpler than it seemed.
"He continued!" Li Shimin's voice revealed a bit of seriousness and depth. I stared closely at the eunuch behind me. These deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and search for less information.
Moreover, in Cheng Qiaoying's view, as an emperor, there is no need for me to meet my child's wife on such an important occasion. Given your identity and status, do you have the qualifications to do so.
I know very well that as Li Yun’s biological mother, Concubine Yang’s heart must be full of longing and concern for her son. But you also understand that your identity and status are restricted by the tolerance of the royal family, so you can easily make decisions that follow the wishes of the royal family.
Things. Therefore, you choose to seek your own opinion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Shimin was silent for a moment after listening. I knew in my heart that Li Min's thoughts may not be so complicated, but I also knew that Cheng Qiao has always been a ruthless person.
He is a righteous man who attaches great importance to brotherhood. I asked calmly: "What else did we say?"
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. I knew Li Min's character and acting style very well. That time I went to see Concubine Yang, it must have been without any known purpose. I thought for a moment and said hastily: "That big man
, went to find Concubine Yang? What did Concubine Yang say? For example, the whereabouts of Li Yun? "
The eunuch stood firm for a moment before speaking hastily: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yang did not reveal too little information about the Eighth Prince. You seem to have been waiting for your opinion, saying that you want to hear what you think before deciding whether to marry the Eighth Prince.
Reunion.”
The eunuch shook his head and replied: "No, Your Majesty. The conversation between the first prince and Concubine Yang did not last too long. The first prince left before. It seems that I have no intention of telling anyone else about this.
, just quietly planning by myself."
I closed my eyes and seemed to be recalling everything in the past. The ups and downs of these years, the grievances and hatreds of these families, all appeared in my mind like a passing cloud. I knew that as an emperor, I carried only
It is the power and glory of the underworld, and it is the fate of the entire Xiaotang country. And on that wheel of fate, the choice of each family member seems to be trivial.
Li Shimin sighed heavily and continued: "Wei Zheng, I am the person I hate the most. My departure has caused me to lose a loyal admonisher, and I deeply regret it. And Li Chengqian, Li Yun and other sons,
We also left me one after another. Now, Cheng Qiao also wants to leave Chang'an to find my brother."
