"Mother! My son is unfilial and I know he is wrong! I was confused and mistakenly believed the words of a sycophant! Several younger brothers and sisters and the death of my father have made me regret it day by day and suffer from it every night. Please also ask Mother, forgive me, forgive me!" Li Congjia lay on the ground and cried loudly.
Mrs. Zhong stepped down from the main seat step by step, stood in front of Li Congjia and said dumbly: "Lao Liu, today I will not talk about the crimes you committed against your relatives. As the former empress of the Tang Dynasty, I will only talk about This country and country passed down from our ancestors, you, you have failed your father's hard work. He once placed high hopes on you!
However, what have you done this year? Didn’t you even tolerate your brothers and sisters for the sake of the throne? But since you usurped it, why couldn’t you hold it after a year? You idiot, what have you done? "
"I'm wrong, I deserve to die." Li Congjia murmured.
"I don't have a son like you, Li Congjia, open your eyes and look at your fate, look at the fate of my country, the Tang Dynasty, all of this is your fault. You rebellious and stupid beast, you ruined your father's hard work The management of Datang has also brought you to your current situation!
By the way, in the past you actually pretended to devote yourself to practicing Buddhism. The civil and military officials of the dynasty and even your father and I were deceived by your hypocrisy, but don’t think that gods and Buddhas are ineffective! You used to blaspheme the gods and Buddhas so much, and now the gods and Buddhas will punish you severely. It is all your own fault! You deserve to go to Abi Hell! "Ms. Zhong cursed Li Congjia mercilessly, spitting all over Li Congjia's head and face.
Li Congjia just lay there whining and wailing, repeating words such as "My son deserves to die, my son is guilty."
Mrs. Zhong finally got tired of scolding and took a few steps back, holding on to the handrail of the wooden steps and panting slightly.
Unwilling to do so, Li Congjia crawled a few steps to Mrs. Zhong's feet, hugged Mrs. Zhong's legs and said, "Queen mother, calm down, I really know that I was wrong! Empress, according to seniority, you are Li Yuan's sister-in-law. He won't do it this time." Inviting you from thousands of miles away also shows how important you are in his heart. The queen mother should plead with Li Yuan on behalf of her son to spare his life! He will definitely change his mind and start a new life in the future..."
Mrs. Zhong sneered repeatedly, looked at Li Congjia and said, "Spare your life? Change your mind and become a new person? You are such a beast. Do you think you still have a chance to survive? If you don't die, your father, your brothers and sisters will still be alive." Those civil and military ministers and their families who were slaughtered by you indiscriminately, how should they rest in peace?!"
Li Congjia was shocked and said: "Mother, spare your life, mother let her son die! By the way, my son is my father's only son. If my mother kills my son, the Tang Dynasty will be cut off! Brother, brother has been killed by Li Yuan killed......"
Zhong looked at Li Congjia coldly and said, "You know this now. As for the death of your eldest brother, Li Yuan has made it clear to me. I also asked several old officials to testify that he colluded with foreign enemies when the country was in trouble. Even if your father was alive, you couldn't protect him, but no matter how confused he was, how could he ever be as cruel as you?
You personally killed several of your brothers, you personally ended your father's bloodline, so what if you are the only one left now? Do you think I will be soft-hearted and let you live? "
Li Congjia hurriedly shouted: "My son deserves to die. The mother can let Li Yuan kill him, but once my son dies and my line of succession is cut off, then the Tang Dynasty will really be dead! How will we restore the country in the future?"
As soon as Li Yuan established the festival, his son noticed that he had rebellious intentions. Unfortunately, his father didn't believe it at that time. But now his words have come true. He has seized the Tang Dynasty and become the emperor as he wished! Now he wished he could kill his son. In that case, his father would have no heirs and the Tang Dynasty would have no hope of restoring the country, and the world would really become his. "
With a "pop" sound, Mrs. Zhong slapped Li Congjia on the face and angrily said: "At this time, are you still thinking about restoring the country? Are you still arranging Li Yuan? Don't have the Spring and Autumn Dream. !
Also, do you think you are the only one qualified to inherit? Anyone of my Li family's blood can inherit the throne, but it does not need to be your father's son. Li Yuan's identity has been revealed now. He is considered your father's brother. He became the emperor, whether it is the Great Tang or the Great Chu. They are all my Li family dynasty and there is no difference!
Also, I don’t know whether Li Yuan was loyal or not in the past, but just because he defended your father across the country in Chu, and now moved your father’s coffin into the imperial mausoleum, he can still treat me and Fang Yi kindly. , he is not as sinister as you said. In a
He even took the initiative to mention to me on the way that he had issued edicts to various places to summon the kings and their branch bloodlines who had been forced to hide since the chaos last year to return to the court and recognize their clan.
Now I know that three of them are still there. Li Yuan said that he will call them to Zhongjing Mansion and select people with suitable conduct to be knighted. After all, the current great Chu is still surnamed Li. Therefore, without you, my Li family can still continue. As long as the people on the throne have the blood of the great ancestor Taizong, the ancestral country and the country will never be in danger of being destroyed. As for you, don't have such wishful thinking. "
Li Congjia stared up at Mr. Zhong with his mouth open, his heart feeling cold. Yes, after all, Li Yuan is also of the Li family's royal bloodline. It doesn't matter whether the country's name is Chu or Tang? I originally thought that as the late emperor's last son, my mother would be soft-hearted no matter how resentful she was towards me, but in the end it was just wishful thinking. This time I was really doomed, and my last chance was gone.
"Mother, you must not think like this. I am the son of you and my father! So it doesn't matter that Li Yuan is my father's brother. How can I give the throne of the Tang Dynasty to a collateral lineage? What's more, according to Li Yuan's bloodline, He is already separated from his father by two generations!
Queen mother, go and tell Li Yuan that I have already given up my country to him. I cannot die, I cannot die! Queen mother, why don't you invite Li Yuan to come and tell him personally, "I beg him to be merciful!" Mother! "Li Congjia was holding Madam Zhong's legs and shaking her like crazy, until all of Madam Zhong's bones were shaken to pieces.
This time, Mrs. Zhong did not push it hard like before, but instead let out a long sigh, leaned down, reached out and stroked Li Congjia's face, and whispered slowly: "Son, don't have such wishful thinking. Don't you know who is in charge in this world now? Li Yuan will never let you live. Even if I want you to survive, there is nothing I can do.
Also, the queen mother cannot offend him because of you. You know, he has already taken over the throne. For the sake of Fangyi, your mother, Uncle Qi, and the other relatives of the Li family who are wandering and escaping, they must not anger him, do you know?
I won’t say any more. You must die, and I can’t plead for you. By dying, you have done your part for the peace and stability of this world. Also, regarding Feng Lingdu, you must go down and make atonement to your father and your younger brothers and sisters. In this life, you are my son who was born in ten months of pregnancy. In the next life, I also hope that you will find a good family. "
"..." Li Congjia's face was ashen, and he lay on the ground blankly, speechless for a moment.
"Don't worry, Lao Liu, I will preserve your body and give you a good burial." Mrs. Zhong's deep voice whispered in Li Congjia's ears like a dream. Suddenly, her voice was full of motherly warmth. At this moment, Li Congjia He even mistakenly thought that the amiable and amiable queen mother was back, as if she was back to the beginning.
"No!" Li Congjia suddenly woke up and shouted: "No! Why? Why should I die? Why? I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan, a traitor, usurped the throne. Queen mother, you are confused, hello! What a cruel heart, you actually watched others kill your own son! I don’t want to die, I can’t die, I can’t die..."
"Forget it, I'll do it myself, otherwise I won't even be able to keep the whole body..."
Mrs. Zhong stared blankly at Li Congjia's crazy look, gritted his teeth and waved his hands and said, "Young Master Liu."
Seven or eight eunuchs beside the side curtain slowly came forward. The leading old eunuch was obviously Liu Shaojian, the most popular celebrity in front of Li Jing in the past. At this time, he was holding a tray in his hand, and the words on the tray were There is a celadon wine bottle and a wine cup placed on the red silk cloth.
"Your Highness Prince Zheng, I will wait for you on your way." Liu Shaojian, whose face was now full of vicissitudes of life, resisted the urge to cut Li Congjia into pieces with a thousand knives, straightened his body and calmed down his emotions, and screamed.
Li Congjia jumped up as if he had been stung by a scorpion, waved his hands repeatedly and said: "If I don't drink, you are so brave! Go away, go away. I won't drink! Liu Shaojian, you are so bold, I will skin you with cramps and cut you alive." about you!"
Liu Shaojian smiled coldly, stepped forward slowly and said, "Prince Zheng, didn't you just want to behead the old slave alive in Fenglingdu? It's a pity that the old slave has a long life, so you are disappointed. Why did the late emperor and all the princes die and be buried? God, you should know it in your heart. No matter what, I have to watch you drink this today.
Jug of wine. "
Li Congjia suddenly rushed out and rushed towards the door of the hall, shouting: "If I don't drink, who dares to force me to drink? I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the lord of the world! Whoever forces me, I will kill him !」
Liu Shaojian's face suddenly changed, as sharp as before in the palace. With a cold wave of his hand, several chamberlains flew over. Li Congjia only stumbled out for more than ten steps before being grabbed by the arms and held captive by several chamberlains. return.
"Hurry up! Hold his nose!" Liu Shaojian shouted loudly.
Li Congjia yelled and struggled violently, but these old chamberlains had all survived Feng Lingdu. Even though they were old and weak, they clamped Li Congjia's arms and body with hatred. One of the chamberlains Seeing the right moment, he reached out and pinched his nose. Li Congjia's breathing was blocked and he had to open his mouth to inhale.
Liu Shaojian reached out to pick up the wine flask, and instead of pouring wine from the cup, he directly poured the spout of the wine flask into Li Congjia's mouth.
"Wait a minute!" Zhong suddenly shouted.
Liu Shaojian turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhong in astonishment.
"Empress?"
Zhong was stunned for a moment, and returned to reality in a daze. He sighed and waved his hands, closing his eyes at the same time.
Liu Shaojian understood what he meant, turned around with a cruel smile on his face, and poured out the poisonous wine from the flask.
Li Congjia whined repeatedly, pouring large gulps of poisonous wine into his throat, flowing down the corners of his mouth and into his neck. Only when the jug was empty did Liu Shaojian stop with satisfaction. With a wave of their hands, several chamberlains let go of Li Congjia's body, allowing Li Congjia to cough loudly, panting violently, and collapse to the ground as if his spine had been twitched.
After a moment, severe pain rose from his abdomen. Li Congjia couldn't help moaning loudly, holding his stomach and coughing.
At first, what he coughed up was still wine. Soon, every time he coughed, black blood spattered out of his mouth and nose, so that the whole nose and mouth were covered with blood, and his face turned black and purple.
"M-Queen Mother! Ahem! You are so cruel! What kind of poisonous wine is this? It hurts, it hurts! Ahem Queen Mother, you will regret it. If your son dies, Li Yuan and Li Yuan will also be killed. Your son is underground, underground, waiting for his mother to come and get together, hahahaha..."
Li Congjia's shrill screams became weaker and weaker. His body twisted on the ground like a shrimp for several times, and finally he was frozen in this terrible posture. Then he bled from seven holes and died. The death was horrible.
Everyone around was shocked by this extremely tragic scene and the strange posture of Li Congjia's body folded before he died. As the executor, Shaojian Liu was also immersed in nightmares, but he only knew that this poisonous wine was the left hand of this great Chu. Xiangxu Kuangheng sent it to Mr. Zhong, but he never thought that the poison of this wine was so terrible that it could even destroy human corpses. This was undoubtedly a huge punishment and insult.
After coming back to his senses, Liu Shaojian hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to feel Li Congjia's breath. He turned around and reported to the staggering Zhong: "Your Majesty, Prince Zheng has gone."
Mrs. Zhong closed her eyes, and for a moment, large drops of turbid tears welled up from her eyes, rolling down her wrinkled face...
