In fact, Li Chengqian had already expected such a result.
In this matter, no matter who is asked, they will make the same choice as Li Shimin.
Even if the prince is in trouble, it still affects the stability of the country.
As long as the prince is here, the country will be stable.
On the contrary, if the crown prince is gone, even if another prince is elected immediately, it will still bring countless disasters to the country.
This has also been confirmed by history.
But Li Chengqian wanted to fight for it.
"Father."
"I know what you're thinking."
"I also know that this matter should be approached from the perspective of the world."
"But Father, these people are all brothers who have been with your son through life and death."
"If it were you, would you watch your brother who has been with you through life and death die?"
Li Chengqian faced Li Shimin and said: "If it were not you but my grandfather who was sitting on the throne today, and it was not Ganziying who was imprisoned in the imperial edict, but Uncle Cheng, my uncle, would you really watch helplessly?"
Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
If it were him, would he watch helplessly?
This point actually goes without saying at all.
If he could just watch, there wouldn't be any changes in the Xuanwu Sect.
And look at his expression.
Li Chengqian already understood his state of mind.
"So Father."
"I beg you, please let them live. All the blame will be borne by me alone."
"Whether you kill me, beat me, depose me, demote me, imprison me, punish me, I will accept it no matter what."
Li Chengqian hit his head on the ground: "I just ask you to let them live!"
"hehe."
Li Shimin suddenly sneered.
He exhaled a long breath: "Let them go, and then what?"
"Then?"
Li Chengqian was a little puzzled.
"Then what?"
Li Shimin slapped his hand on the table.
"My prince launched an army to massacre the ministers' homes, killing thousands of people."
"You tell me now." Li Shimin shouted in a deep voice: "How should I give an explanation to the people of the world?"
"I'm here to explain!"
Li Chengqian pointed at himself.
"you?"
Li Shimin sneered.
"What kind of explanation do you have?"
"Let me rebuke you? Destroy you? Demean you? Is this useful?"
Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "Li Chengqian, you are no longer a child long ago."
"There are some things that you know very well even if I don't tell you."
"This matter is not a trivial matter. If we want to give an explanation to the world, someone must die."
He didn't wait for Li Chengqian to speak.
Li Shimin continued: "Of course, you can ask me to kill you and use your life to force me."
"But what I want to tell you is that your life is no longer yours."
"If you die, many people in the world will die with you."
"Your wife and children, your confidante, your uncle, your father-in-law, they will all lose everything they have."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with twinkling eyes: "I hope you can be more mature and think about this matter carefully from the perspective of a prince."
"Back off!"
Li Shimin waved his hand: "I still have something to do, so I won't say more to you."
Li Chengqian didn't move.
Look at his posture.
Li Shimin got angry: "If you want to kneel, go kneel outside. I will be upset when I see you!"
"Yes, Father."
Li Chengqian responded silently.
Then, he got up and knelt down outside the temple.
"Leave far away!"
Li Shimin roared angrily: "Go to a place where I can't see you!"
Li Chengqian didn't hesitate.
He stood up from the ground tremblingly and knelt under a pillar.
When Li Shimin saw this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Next.
He stopped talking and just lowered his head to read the memorial.
Seeing this, Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but grin secretly.
He walked up to Li Shimin and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, the prince has just woken up. The injuries on his body..."
Before Eunuch Zhou finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin with a wave of his hand.
"He knows whether he has any injuries on his body." ??
"If he wants to live, he should know gains and losses, advance and retreat."
"I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't have to think too much about grinding my teeth with him."
Li Shimin's voice was extremely indifferent.
It seemed like this matter had nothing to do with him.
Seeing him like this, Eunuch Zhou didn't dare to say anything, so he could only respectfully step aside and stand.
Li Chengqian knelt down for an hour.
A hazy drizzle began to fall in the sky.
Li Chengqian knelt in the rain and did not move.
starting time.
He was actually prepared to be deposed, demoted, or even die.
But what he didn't expect was that his brothers would also die together.
He thought that he alone could quell Li Shimin's anger and the world's anger.
But in the end, this was just what he thought.
Now, he has been beaten with a hundred military sticks.
But he is still alive.
Instead, those brothers are going to die.
Li Chengqian couldn't describe his feelings.
He only knows that if this matter is not resolved, if those people in Qianzi Camp are not allowed to survive, he will never feel at ease in his life.
At this time.
Eunuch Zhou suddenly walked over slowly.
He said slowly: "Your Highness, you'd better go back. Your Majesty has said that he will not change his mind."
"hehe."
Li Chengqian chuckled.
"Then you go back too."
"If he doesn't change his mind, I will keep kneeling here."
Li Chengqian said weakly: "Until he is willing to show mercy and let those soldiers in Qianzi Camp go."
r>
Look at Li Chengqian.
Eunuch Zhou's eyes were filled with distress.
He watched Li Chengqian grow up with his own eyes.
He even watched with his own eyes how Li Chengqian changed from a cynical child to the upright prince he is today.
He also wanted to intercede for Li Chengqian.
However, others spoke softly and understood Li Shimin's personality.
If Li Shimin hadn't changed his mind, nothing anyone could say would be of any use.
Eunuch Zhou sighed softly and said: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. It's best to discuss this matter in the long run."
"You are still injured."
"If the root cause of the disease is found, it will torture you for the rest of your life."
"So, you'd better go back and rest quickly."
Eunuch Zhou persuaded her with sincerity: "When the injury is healed, you can do whatever you want."
"After today."
"I'm afraid I won't have a chance."
Li Chengqian slowly raised his head and looked at Eunuch Zhou: "You know my father's personality, and so do I."
"If I don't let my father change his mind now."
"Then all I can wait for is the death news of those brothers from Qianziying."
Eunuch Zhou was speechless.
This is Li Shimin's personality.
He understood it, and so did Li Chengqian.
But he really felt sorry for Li Chengqian and didn't want him to continue to suffer here.
"I know you are good for me."
"But, I must insist on this."
When Li Chengqian spoke, his body couldn't help but tremble.
If you look carefully, you can even see that the water droplets that soaked through his clothes and fell to the ground were mixed with a little red.
And just when Eunuch Zhou sighed and turned around to leave.
Behind him, there was suddenly a muffled sound.
Wait until you look back.
Li Chengqian was seen unconscious on the ground.
Eunuch Zhou suddenly panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, calling loudly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Someone, come quickly!"
