"Oh!? Secret! I want to see what big secret it is!" Taizong also raised his eyebrows slightly, deliberately raising his voice and asked slowly, while Xiao Zhengzi on the side was also making judgments. . .
"Report to the Emperor! The eldest brother conspired to launch a coup with his uncle Li Yuanchang, minister Hou Junji and others in Chunfeng Tower" The fourth prince Li Tai said calmly, but he saw the anger on Taizong's face. Taizong didn't know I am furious and very regretful. Ever since Prince Li Chengqian was born, he has been established as the crown prince. I ask myself whether I have loved him so much and turned a blind eye to the matters between Li Tai and him. Now it turns out that Dare to conspire to rebel, "Bah! Treason! What a traitor! Tai'er, if you say so, give me the evidence! I will punish him severely this time" Taizong softened a little, and always made nonsense. , who knows whether it is true or false, but Li Tai was well prepared and took out a letter that read, "The Crown Prince personally approves!" Taizong still held on to the last glimmer of hope, but the fact was cruel, and he finally The beloved eldest son actually committed such a serious crime of treason that destroyed the nine clans. It is possible that he must also be killed. . .
After reading the content of the letter, Taizong was already furious, "I actually have such a son. It is really unfortunate for our Li family in the Tang Dynasty! According to my decree, Prince Li Chengqian was immediately announced to Yangxin Hall and notified Concubine Wei Guifei in the harem. I would like to personally I want to examine the fishery involved, and I want to see if there is anyone behind the scenes who is plotting evil, and I will kill them" With the decree, Xiao Zhengzi also rushed to the East Palace immediately, and at this moment, Li Chengqian was secretly planning a rebellion. In fact, this was naturally all blamed on Prince Li Chengqian. Because of Lian'er's words, he had already understood in his heart, and the situation became increasingly clear. The winner naturally saw through the layer of window paper. After piercing it, it suddenly became clear that in recent years, the fourth prince Li Taiben He has the intention to seize the heir, forms a clique, and targets the prince Li Chengqian. Today, the government and the public have long been controlled by Li Tai. Most of the memorials to impeach the prince naturally make the prince feel more and more panic. His younger brother Li Chengqian Tai obviously coveted his position as the crown prince and wanted to seize it, but how could the crown prince give him this opportunity, so he was forced to have no choice but to win over the ministers and plot a rebellion. . .
"The Emperor's decree! Prince Li Chengqian goes to the Yangxin Hall immediately, don't neglect it" Xiao Zhengzi naturally announced the Emperor's decree in place, and then he can go. Don't neglect it, but Li Chengqian was beating a drum in his heart, it's so serious! ? My father is so anxious to ask me to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace. I am afraid that the person who comes is not kind and the kind person does not come. . .
In the Yikun Palace: A young eunuch also came to announce the decree: "The Emperor has decreed that Concubine Wei informs the concubines in the harem that they can go to Yang Xi Point. Do not neglect" Concubine Wei had not heard such an urgent decree in a long time, and she knew it. I'm afraid something big will happen, so this decree was announced to the Sixth Palace. Lian'er was naturally able to guess it. It was probably the end of the fight between Li Tai and Li Chengqian. In the end, they just made wedding dresses for others. Should I? Prevent! ? Lian'er and Yang Xi also took the Ninth Prince to the Yangxin Palace. . .
In the Hall of Yangxin, there was an undercurrent. All the concubines were sitting dignifiedly on their chairs. "The Concubine Xian has arrived! The martial artist has arrived! His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has arrived!" These two familiar names also appeared in Taizong's name all the time. In his mind, especially Lian'er, the phoenix danced in the sky, and the Yingyu came to the world, which made Taizong's anger dissipate a little. . . Lian'er and Yang Xi also sat down on the chairs, but Li Tai stood aside, with a springy smile on his face. Comparing it with Li Zhi, you can see how ugly he is. It is disgusting to plot against his brother. Li Zhi Naturally, he stood aside and waited for something to happen. . .
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" A man in golden robes appeared in the Yangxin Palace. His breathing had not yet calmed down. It was obvious that he had rushed over. Prince Li Chengqian was also breaking out in a cold sweat. The concubines in the harem were sitting in a row, and his two The younger brother stood aside, and the father's face looked ugly. From the calm appearance on the surface, one could see how violent the storm was. . .
"My son, I have met my father! Ladies and gentlemen!" Li Chengqian was the eldest prince after all, and he remained calm in the face of such a situation. He was not too nervous, but his heartbeat accelerated. "Bah!" Taizong stood up and said angrily: "Humph! Look at the good thing you have done!" After saying that, he threw the letter directly from the high seat. Li Chengqian picked up the letter and his whole face turned pale in an instant. . . How could this letter be in the hands of his father? Could there be something wrong with the people around him? Looking at his "brother" Li Tai, his whole body became depressed. Without thinking, he knew that it must be Li Tai's. The spy discovered his secret. . .
"What happened now! What explanation do you have! How could I have a son like you! Conspiracy to rebel is a capital crime!" Taizong also said coldly, looking at his son with contempt: "You can't even wait for this! After I die, the throne will naturally be yours!" Taizong also sat down, his whole body instantly seemed to have aged more than ten years, and his old hands gently rested on his forehead with three wrinkles. . .
?"Father! My son My son" Li Chengqian was already slumped on the floor of the Yangxin Hall. Although the concubines had no expression on their faces, they were extremely happy in their hearts. Empress Changsun had died of illness. Who else was there? Can prevent his son from inheriting the throne of crown prince. . . Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore. After all, he was his eldest brother, and he had been taking good care of him these days. . . Li Zhirende is really right about this. Lian'er will naturally not stop it. How can the outcome that has been expected be rewritten in her hands? She is just a woman, an ordinary woman. . .
At this juncture, who dares to intercede on behalf of the prince Li Chengqian? If he is regarded as a party member, it will be unclear. . . "Father! The purpose of plotting rebellion since ancient times is to destroy the nine tribes! If my father really wants to punish the eldest brother for the crime of rebellion, then he should also punish his son and minister! The son and his eldest brother are brothers from the same mother. With the same blood, it is absolutely impossible to sit idly by and ignore"
"You!" Taizong also didn't expect that his ninth son Li Zhi would be so benevolent and share the joys and sorrows with his brothers. The blood brother of Nai is so ruthless. In the face of the struggle for succession, he does not care about the kinship between his siblings. How can he be allowed to ascend to the great position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan? That will destroy the Tang Dynasty. . .
"Okay! Get free! Here is my imperial edict: 'Prince Li Chengqian has been a dandy all day long, decadent and dissolute. He united ministers and formed cliques to conspire to rebel. He should be punished for his crime. I miss his nine princes and care about their brotherhood. Spare the death penalty for Prince Li Chengqian! The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped! Depose him from the position of prince and demote him to a commoner!'" As soon as these words came out, all the concubines felt that their prince was very promising, and Li Chengqian was also full of tears. , looked at his biological brother with gratitude, and knocked heavily on the ground of Yangxin Hall, "Thank you very much, Father! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
Li Zhi also thanked Taizong for his imperial edict: "Thank you very much, Father! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" Taizong seemed to be exhausted mentally and physically. He made this decision, which he couldn't bear to demote to a commoner. . . He would never see his eldest son again. The prince was deposed, which meant that a new succession struggle would begin again. . .
So, Tai Zong once again made a decision to put an end to the intrigues among the concubines in the harem and the princes plotting against each other: "Xiao Zhengzi, pass on my imperial edict: 'The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven, and in order to prevent the situation of riding a crane, The country is without a master, but I also want to have good heirs and talented people in the country. I established a prince to consolidate the foundation of the country. My ninth son, Li Zhi, is handsome, diligent in learning, and has outstanding talents. He is very respectful in his affairs; he is very respectful in his parents' affairs. Filial piety; caring for brothers and sisters, being very close; caring for children and nephews, being very honorable. Now my ninth son, Li Zhi, is appointed as the prince of the country to take charge of the government. Everyone must regard him as me! He is assisted by the noble concubine of the sixth palace, and supported by the princes and elders. In order to consolidate the imperial outline, I admire this'" With this imperial edict, all the concubines fell from the peak to the trough, and their hopes began to fade again. . . Lian'er also pulled Yang Xi and said slowly, "I and the Concubine Xian suddenly feel unwell. I will leave first!"
"Well! You two have a good rest! Let's all leave!" Taizong also asked all the concubines to retreat, "Concubine, please leave!" Taizong also walked back to the study, locked himself in, and ignored them. . .
Inside Yixia Hall:
"Mei Niang! I want to congratulate you today! The Ninth Prince has become the Crown Prince. This is something no one expected! It is expected that the Emperor has long known about the struggle between the Fourth Prince and the First Prince, and naturally he can see through it. The prince¡¯s character, and today the Ninth Prince has come forward and is willing to live and die with his compatriots and brothers. This is naturally deeply shocking to the emperor who is ruthless and has no relatives in the imperial family" Yang Xi also said slowly. . . .
"Really! Become the target of public criticism! Maybe he is the next Li Chengqian! I will definitely protect the Ninth Prince to the end! Although I am a talented person! But I will never allow anyone to dare to murder the Ninth Prince!" Lian'er also picked up a I read the book of war again, no longer looking at Yang Xi, who also drove back to the palace. Along the way:
Yang Xi was very unwilling to ask why she didn¡¯t have a child after being in the palace for so many years! I am so jealous of beauty, why don't you let me have a child of my own! Meiniang is the same! Two of us. . . If it were me and Yixuan at that time. . . Let's forget about the past and let it be. . . After a while of pondering, he walked towards the cold palace. . .
