Li Shimin was in tears at this time.
He thought about it over and over, but never thought that his son actually wanted to rebel.
"Impossible, I am very kind to him, and the future throne will be his, why is he so anxious?!"
"Everything the Heavenly Master said is true, please bear with me!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth, turned away, and secretly wiped his tears.
What the civil and military ministers saw was Li Shimin crying. He couldn't stop and knelt down again.
"I am terrified."
"I am terrified."
Even Wei Zheng and others were stunned.
They have never seen such a cowardly side of Li Shimin, just because many of them oppose forced donations to Buddhism?!
In the past, Li Shimin would never have been so sad and helpless, and would even find ways to achieve his goals.
In fact, they also felt that they should force donations from Buddhism and Taoism, but not too much, and the price Li Shimin said at the beginning was really too much.
When the time comes, Buddhism will be forced into a panic, and society will be in turmoil.
now.
Li Shimin actually cried.
They were all confused.
Li Shimin stood up and said: "Dismiss the dynasty."
Then he turned around and left first. Compared with Li Chengqian's rebellion, everything else was insignificant.
After he left, he did not go directly to the Prince's Mansion, but to chat with the Queen and tell her about the matter.
No matter what the outcome is, the queen has the right to be the first to know.
The civil and military ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Harem.
Li Shimin met the queen, and the queen was still very happy at this time and was reciting Buddhist scriptures.
She lives a very fulfilling life now. She gets up in the morning to worship the Three Pure Ones, and after having breakfast, she starts chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha.
She believes in both Buddhism and Taoism, and a bowl of water is equal.
At this time, I was a little surprised to see Li Shimin coming back early.
When Li Shimin saw that the queen was in a happy mood, he felt heavy in his heart and couldn't bear to speak directly for fear of affecting the queen's mood.
However, the queen had a heart-to-heart connection with him, and she could tell at a glance that he was worried, so she said: "Erlang, have you encountered anything troublesome?"
Li Shimin said: "Mr. Guanyin, I am at a loss to make a decision."
The queen smiled and said: "Erlang is extremely smart and has many famous generals under his command. Isn't there anyone who can help you solve your problems?"
Li Shimin asked her to sit down and pinched her temples. This kind of treatment was only given to her as a queen.
When the surrounding maids saw this, they knew that the couple wanted to communicate privately, and they all backed away.
The old eunuch Wuji also withdrew, and after he withdrew, he heard that Wei Zheng and other famous ministers were asking for an audience outside the palace gate.
Wei Zheng and others asked for an audience in the harem. This situation only happened when Li Shimin refused to change his place for Li Yuan.
Now, they are all here.
But the old eunuch Wuji knew that Li Shimin didn't want to see them, so he went out to send them away.
in the room.
Li Shimin pinched the queen's temples and shoulders, and then said: "Mr. Guanyin, there is something you must know. However, after you know it, you must not be overjoyed or angry."
The queen grabbed Li Shimin's hand, stood up, and the two looked at each other.
The queen said: "Erlang, what happened has made you so nervous that you can't let go."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said: "I have inherited three thousand armors from Qian and intend to rebel."
The Tang Dynasty did not restrict people from possessing weapons, but it did not allow anyone to hide armor.
Li Chengqian's prince's palace contained tens of thousands of swords. If there were no armor, Li Shimin would have believed that he had not rebelled.
but.
With armor, the meaning is different.
The queen's body suddenly became weak, frightened and desperate.
She understands the difference between swords and armor.
Li Chengqian has armor, and there are three thousand pairs of it. He is definitely planning something evil, and there is no need to think about it.
She shed tears in despair, "He, why is he so confused? The country of the Tang Dynasty will also be his in the future."
Only she dared to say this. Even Li Chengqian himself was not sure that he could hold the position of crown prince to the end.
Li Shimin sighed, and then burst into tears.
"I really don't want to see this scene. I didn't expect that this is all retribution. My retribution has come!"
The couple couldn't help holding each other's hands and crying.
They are the most majestic couple in the world and the most powerful couple, but at this time, their son is unfilial, and they cry like an ordinary couple.
After crying bitterly, the couple began to face reality again.
The queen said: "Erlang, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Li Shimin said: "I don't know either, I want to see your decision."
The queen was silent and pursed her lips. In fact, she knew Li Shimin's decision and came to her specifically to make her mentally prepared.
And she also knew how to deal with it, and said: "Erlang, can you spare his life?"
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell into Li Shimin's arms.
She cried: "Chengqian is actually a child who has suffered a lot. When you were fighting in the north and south, he was always frightened at home. He has faced you as a majestic person since he was a child. He lacked discipline and will easily make mistakes when he grows up."
Li Shimin comforted him: "I know how to deal with it, but I still plan to give him a chance. If this is framed by others, I will give him a chance."
The queen understood that Li Shimin really wanted to give Li Chengqian a chance, and the so-called frame-up was impossible.
However, there is room for change.
That is, if Li Chengqian denies it or bites others, he may survive.
Li Shimin stood up and called his maid to take care of the queen, while he took a bath and changed his outfit before leaving the palace to see the prince.
As soon as he left the harem, he saw Wei Zheng and others approaching, but he completely ignored them and turned around to leave.
The old eunuch stopped Wei Zheng and others and said bitterly: "Masters, please go back. Your Majesty is in a bad mood."
Wei Zheng and others could see that Li Shimin was not in a bad mood, but that he was on the verge of breaking out.
Although Wei Zheng usually had a stiff neck, he knew that Li Shimin was a king who served the country and the people, and he also knew that Li Shimin could listen to advice.
That's why he was tough.
but.
Now Li Shimin's eyes showed determination and coldness, as if a god was blocking the way to kill a god, or a Buddha was blocking the way to kill a Buddha, which scared him.
Therefore, Wei Zheng and others looked at each other and decided not to care.
And they didn't know why Li Shimin was so angry, or whether it had something to do with their opposition to forced donations to Buddhism.
"Master Situ, it seems we are going to be this ugly man." Fang Xuanling said with a bitter smile.
Changsun Wuji said: "There is no way, that's all. There is no way to stop this matter. I just thought it could be done less, but with your Majesty's attitude, we can only do more but not less. Lord Sikong, what do you think?"
Wei Zheng also said: "How else can we look at it? Each of us is responsible for a part. The biggest headache is the Buddhist sect. There is a heavenly master from the Taoist school who took the lead in donating, and also helped other Taoist sects donate. However, the Buddhist sect may not be willing to give up.
ah!"
Du Zhenglun said: "It doesn't matter whether they want to give it up or not, Grandpa Xiao Yu, Te Jin, doesn't deal with Buddhism very well. Let him take the lead."
Several old guys looked at each other and smiled.
Xiao Yu was originally the spokesperson of Buddhism, but later, for some reason, he got into trouble with Buddhism.
Nowadays, whenever I have the opportunity to go to court, I must read a book on Buddhism.
It seemed perfect for him to take the lead.
Talk about both ends.
Prince's Mansion.
Li Chengqian was at his residence and invited Han King Li Yuanchang, his consort Du He, and several generals in the army to drink and have fun.
Li Yuanchang smiled and said: "Chengqian, you didn't go to court, so you might not know that your father has become weak."
Li Chengqian was stunned and said happily: "Uncle Qi, what's going on?!"
Li Yuanchang, King of Han, was Li Shimin's seventh brother, and he was the eldest among the brothers who were still alive.
The other brothers were all born after Li Yuan was imprisoned and are not worth mentioning.
After Han Wang Li Yuanchang laughed three times, he drank a glass of wine and said, "You must not know that your father cried in the court today. The look was really disgusting."
Du He also laughed and said: "Yes, yes, I saw it too. I didn't expect to see such a weak side of him. I guess there is nothing scary about him."
Li Chengqian was overjoyed, and then asked for details, saying: "Great, my father is fatuous and incompetent, and now he has offended Buddhism and Taoism. If he is forced to donate, public resentment will boil. Then it will be a good time for us to start an uprising."
Li Yuanchang smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, you are getting wiser and wiser."
Li Chengqian smiled.
In fact, he often visited the Imperial Taoist Temple and met Wu Zhao. His feet were not repaired, but his strategy became better.
Wu Zhao was a great talent and had unique insights into many things. He studied under him for a period of time before he had this insight.
He listened to the messy and faint sound of forging iron, shaking his head in enjoyment.
Li Chengqian said: "I also want to imitate my father. After I succeed, I will bring Wu Zhao into the palace as soon as possible."
Li Yuanchang said: "This king must go to worship the late emperor as soon as possible, because the spirit of the late emperor is at high risk."
Du He started to speak but stopped.
Li Chengqian immediately expressed his position: "Du Ma, I will make you the Duke of the country when the time comes."
Du He was immediately overjoyed and quickly knelt down to express his thanks.
The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter, as if they had trampled the Daming Palace under their feet.
At this moment.
The guard's scream came from outside the door, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
Bang!
Li Chengqian and others were suddenly panicked, their cups and plates were in a mess, they were frightened and at a loss what to do.
