After destroying and re-establishing the confidence of these literati, Li Ke let them go to work. Li Ke himself packed up his clothes and went to the palace to meet Li Shimin.
At this time, the court was basically over. As for what was discussed in the court, Li Ke didn't bother to care. Anyway, he didn't go to court today.
In Liangyi Hall, Li Ke met Li Shimin easily this time, but what left Li Ke speechless was that when he came in, Li Shimin was standing in front of a huge map, the Map of the Tang Dynasty!
At this moment, his back was turned to Li Ke, and he was looking at this huge map of the Tang Dynasty and thinking deeply.
Li Ke couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Dad, just teach me whatever you want. There's no need to put on a show here."
Li Shimin: "..." I... Li Shimin almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Why do you never speak normally when you speak to me? Wasn't the impact I gave you a few days ago not enough? !
Struggling to control his facial expression, Li Shimin turned around, gave him a salty look, and then said, "How do you feel?"
"What do you feel?" Li Ke was a little confused. Of course he knew what Li Shimin was asking, but he wouldn't be fooled. The history of Li Chengqian's miserable fortune was still vivid in his mind. He didn't want to play with Li Shimin and let me guess. Bah, it’s a game played by loving fathers and children.
Li Shimin: "..." Why don't you follow the script?
"The insights of the Zheng family." Li Shimin looked at him, suppressing his anger, maintaining his expression and continuing to ask in a normal tone.
"What do you think? If you don't want to kill those two babies, just don't kill them. Why did you lend me my hand?" Li Ke curled his lips disdainfully. If you didn't have the imperial edict, I could have brought people out of the Dali Temple prison. ? What about amusing? Is this interesting? !Is this interesting? ! Why don't you just be more direct?
Li Shimin couldn't hold himself any longer. He had received a report on the situation in the prison. In his opinion, that scene should have had a huge impact on Li Ke, but now, something was wrong with this situation!
"Don't want to kill?! Do you think I don't dare to kill? I never killed any children during the Xuanwu Sect incident? That's my nephew! I didn't save any of them!" Li Shimin's forehead jumped and he said coldly!
Chang Lin and some of the little eunuchs and maids around him almost knelt down. Their bodies were shaking. Can they listen to this?
"So? If given a choice, who would be willing to kill his own brother or nephew? At that time, you were no longer living for yourself, but for the ministers who followed you and the families of those ministers. You lived for my mother and I. Mother, live for my eldest brother, for me, for Changle, Li Tai and other children, and the countless soldiers and generals who follow you. Killing is not what you want, but you have to kill. To a certain extent , you are killing people for us, we are the executioners." Li Ke said calmly.
Li Shimin: "..."
This is wrong, this kid...can he understand this? Li Shimin opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to continue what he said.
Chang Lin and all the little eunuchs around him were bowing their heads, as if we couldn't hear them. It was so scary.
"I'm very happy that you know this. But you don't have any idea about what happened a few days ago? I know your ideals, but you still think that you are not the emperor? Can you do these things?" Li Shimin took a deep breath. Take a breath, force me, right? Okay, if you like to be straightforward, I will be straightforward with you.
Li Ke rolled his eyes, "Dad, we have discussed this issue before. There is no need to discuss it again. In any case, it is impossible for me to be the emperor, so I will do my best as a prince."
"When I am alive, I can protect you. What if I die? What happens after your eldest brother succeeds to the throne? Who will protect you?" Li Shimin couldn't help it, and he directly called himself Lao Tzu.
"My elder brother is not that kind of person. Besides, at that time, all the strategies that should be implemented have been implemented. If I have any new ideas, just tell my elder brother and give him behind-the-scenes guidance." Li Ke waved his hand casually. road.
"Your eldest brother is not that kind of person. What about Changsun Wuji? He is your eldest brother's uncle. He has always supported your eldest brother when he became the prince. When he becomes the prince, your eldest brother will definitely stand by his side, and there are many The courtiers who support your eldest brother, and there are many powerful families behind your eldest brother, which one can you escape?" Li Shimin asked directly.
"Hey, hey, hey, dad, a bowl of water is fair, we are all your sons." Li Ke yelled.
I have such a bad temper! Li Shimin's eyes had begun to glance left and right, and he felt that he had to hold something in his hand! Preferably a military stick!
The little eunuchs around were shaking and couldn't control themselves.
When Li Ke saw this scene, he immediately said: "Okay, all of you, please go down and tell the guards outside to stay two feet away from the main hall. No one is allowed to come in. Just stay here."
The little eunuchs, as if they had received an amnesty, bowed their heads in salute without saying a word, turned around and left, even ignoring that it was Li Ke who spoke, not Li Shimin. Of course, it was because of their experience that they all walked out quickly, and the guards outside also withdrew from the vicinity of the hall.
The dialogue inside is so scary, it’s better not to listen to it than anything else.
Chang Lin: "..." My mentality is broken. I also want to go out. I am old and have a bad heart.
"You are afraid that these people will be implicated by me because of our conversation, but let me tell you, it was you who gave the order just now. They dared to leave without my order. Just for this reason, I can kill them and teach you a lesson. "Li Shimin said coldly.
"Hey, dad, that's enough. What you want to teach is a kind son who recognizes the facts, not a cold-blooded son. If you continue to teach like this, I will become a black man. Let me tell you, I am a black man. Five points of strength." Li Ke yelled.
Li Shimin: "..."
He couldn't bear it anymore and started to turn his head left and right. Chang Lin, who was next to him, silently picked up the wooden stick pointing at the map from the corner and handed it over.
Li Shimin copied it directly.
"Hey, hey, daddy, please tell me something. Don't be angry. What's the use of teaching me this? I can't be the emperor. Besides, saying that I am a prince can't change anything. The underlying meaning is The emperor is the only one, but the problem is that I am not the emperor. Otherwise, if you abdicate now, I will take over?" Li Ke was a little depressed, and he took action even if he couldn't talk. Is there any way you can play like this?
Li Shimin sneered and said loudly: "Chang Lin is planning an edict."
Why? Li Ke and Chang Lin were both stunned for a moment, but Chang Lin immediately took out the spare pen, ink, and silk from the side to prepare the edict, and waited for Li Shimin to speak.
Li Ke was a little confused. What did his father want to do?
"Now I have Prince Ke, who is virtuous, wise and martial, well versed in the classics and the art of war, and has unparalleled talents in the world. I deeply feel his importance to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and because I am very old and have low energy..." Li Shimin's expression Thought calmly.
"Stop!" Li Ke came back to his senses and everyone was dumbfounded. He hurriedly shouted and rushed to Chang Lin, snatched the edict silk from his hand, and then directly clasped the ink next to it. Go up.
In an instant, it became pitch black and nothing could be seen.
