I originally heard the first half of the sentence.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he said the next words, everyone's hearts were in their throats again.
A hundred court battles? They have to be executed in public at Caishikou.
Doesn’t this make it clear that he wants to slap Li Chengqian, the prince, in the face?
"His Majesty."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this."
"It's all for my sake."
Fang Xuanling was the first to speak: "It doesn't have to be like this, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Ji also took up the conversation: "The prince is the crown prince of the country, and he represents the face of the Tang Dynasty."
"Even if you make a big mistake, it's not this serious."
"To torture a prince with a cane in public is unprecedented throughout history."
When the stick went down, Li Chengqian's face was gone.
Even if he is still the prince in the future, how can he have the face to command hundreds of officials?
With these two taking the lead.
The group of people who had just begged Li Shimin to take back their lives once again begged Li Shimin to let Li Chengqian go.
But this time.
Changsun Wuji did not speak.
He looked at Li Chengqian, his eyes full of ambiguity.
"Princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people."
"He just said this himself."
Li Shimin frowned and said in a bad tone: "So there is no need to argue about this matter."
"High enough!"
"I'm here!"
"Execute my orders!"
Gao Zhixing didn't hesitate at all and said, "Yes!"
After Li Chengqian left, Li Shimin waved his hand with tired eyes: "That's it for today, let's break up the court!"
"Wuji, you stay."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In fact, Changsun Wuji didn't move at all.
If Li Shimin didn't call him, he would actually stay on his own initiative.
not long time.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were the only two people left in the huge Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shimin said quietly: "Do you have anything to say? Want to talk to me?"
"I have nothing to say to Your Majesty."
Changsun Wuji said slowly: "I think your Majesty must have something to say to me, right?"
"hehe."
"You still understand me."
Li Shimin stepped towards the high platform.
However.
Before he could step onto the high platform, his feet suddenly softened and he fell directly to the ground.
Changsun Wuji was startled and quickly came over to help Li Shimin up.
Li Shimin laughed at himself: "I am old. I am indeed old. I can fall over even after walking a few steps."
Changsun Wuji's lips moved and he stopped talking.
"okay."
"I'm keeping you here just so you can tell the truth."
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Shimin slowly sat on the steps: "Now there is no majesty, no prime minister, only Li Shimin and your eldest grandson Wuji."
This also means.
Now the two of them are getting along as friends and brothers, not as monarchs and ministers.
Changsun Wuji laughed softly.
"I just hope your Majesty won't be too worried."
Changsun Wuji slowly raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "Besides, your original choice was not wrong."
"Even if I come back a thousand times or ten thousand times, I will still rebuke His Majesty and seek to ascend to power."
The choice he mentioned was nothing more than the Xuanwu Sect change.
In fact, this has always been Li Shimin's heart.
Even today, there is still a trace of regret in his heart.
"But I have made a bad start for my descendants."
"Qingque has followed my old path, Ke'er has also walked on it, and now even You'er has started."
Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how many of my descendants will be fighting to the death a hundred years from now like today."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Changsun Wuji said slowly: "Why does your Majesty think so much?"
"I only know that it was His Majesty who resisted the barbarian attack on the bloody battlefield."
"I only know that His Majesty personally went to the battlefield to resolve the turmoil in the north for hundreds of years."
"I only know that without His Majesty, Datang would not be what it is today."
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and said, "Indeed, your Majesty made a mistake, but it was also for the sake of the world."
"But what if someone else comes forward under this banner in the future?"
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "What should we do if someone else comes forward to cause trouble to the royal family?"
"Those things are the choices of future generations and have nothing to do with Your Majesty."
"So there is no need for Your Majesty to blame these things on yourself."
Changsun Wuji said: "Furthermore, do you think that the reason why we are trying to protect Qian'er today is because he is your eldest son?"
Li Shimin looked at him blankly: "Isn't it?"
"hehe."
"Your Majesty is pretending to be confused because he understands."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "You might as well think carefully, among your sons, who can compare with Gan'er?"
"Qing Que? His literary talent is good, but Qian'er is no worse than him, right?"
"King of Shu? He does look like you when you were young, but he only has your intelligence."
"As for your courage and ambition, you haven't lost any of it. You gave it all to Qian'er."
"Not to mention King Yan, based on his current achievements, he is not qualified to compare with Qian'er."
Changsun Wuji said: "What's more important is Qingque, King Shu, and King Yan. The ideas of the three of them are too childish."
"What they look forward to is always the little point in front of them, and they never think about the future hundreds or thousands of years from now."
"We the people."
"There are indeed selfish thoughts."
"But our selfishness must also be based on a peaceful and prosperous age."
"Qian'er may not be able to become an eternal emperor, but he will definitely make the world a better place."< br>
"As for your sons, you don't have to worry."
"Gan'er can do anything, but he will never get his brother's blood on his hands."
Changsun Wuji's words struck a chord with Li Shimin.
What he fears most is that his son will cause a tragedy like his own and commit suicide.
Li Shimin stared blankly ahead and was silent for a long time.
Half a moment.
Li Shimin suddenly laughed.
"Ha ha."
"Maybe it's just as you said."
"There is nothing else good about this boy. This is the only thing that I appreciate most."
Li Shimin said slowly: "Even though these people played endless conspiracies and tricks against him, he was still able to stay calm and deal with them calmly."
"of course."
"I don't even know whose nephew this is."
Changsun Wuji smiled proudly and said: "And don't you think that this kid is becoming more and more like another you?"
"another me?"
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji with a puzzled expression.
"yes."
Changsun Wuji pointedly said: "A perfect you."
"Perfect me."
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.
What is imperfect in his life?
Maybe this is the only life experience.
If he was the eldest son, then everything would be perfect.
He does not need to initiate the Xuanwu Sect's revolution, nor does he need to fight with his brothers.
Come to think of it, in that case, he would be like Li Chengqian today and tolerate the misbehavior of these younger brothers in every possible way.
"Hahaha."
Li Shimin looked up and smiled: "Well said, right."
"Walk!"
Li Shimin grabbed Changsun Wuji's arm and stood up and said, "Let's go see that kid together."
"Look at him, is he in a state of decline today, or is this the reason why all the people have returned to their hearts..."
