Li Shimin handed the letter in his hand back to Li Junxian, looked at the illustrious imperial city outside the palace gate, seemed to have figured out something, and said in a cold voice: "This matter~ It seems that someone borrowed my hand under the guise. It gave me a 'good reputation'!"
Li Junxian on the side said: "Your Majesty is talking about..."
Halfway through his words, Li Junxian, whose mind suddenly became clear, quickly stopped talking.
Li Shimin glanced at it, and then continued what Li Junxian said: "Yes, he is my 'good' imperial brother!"
Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said slowly with calm eyes: "In the eighth year of Wude, the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty gathered together to cause chaos. This is why the late emperor asked me to take over the mission of wiping out the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty, not my imperial brother. Go do this!"
"The purpose is for me to protect him, the prince, from the revenge and hatred of all the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty! And my brother, the emperor, also took this opportunity to take advantage of the meticulous work of the Qin Palace at that time, and used my name to cause disasters with my voice and power. Make a grievance!"
Li Shimin's face was cold, as if he was expressing the unhappiness he had felt for many years: "Hmph! But no matter what, I deployed it properly, and eighty-nine of the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty were wiped out in one year! If not, if I had made a slight mistake, not only would I have ended up with a lot of vengeance, As a result, my imperial brother will give me a reputation for being unfavorable in my work!"
"What a good plan!!!"
Li Shimin's cold words made Li Junxian's legs and feet tremble a little, and he muffled and did not dare to speak.
The biggest grievance in Li Shimin's heart is nothing more than the past history of killing his brother and imprisoning his father. As for the grievances in it, it is natural for people like them to know as little as possible~
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he thought for a while, then glanced at Li Junxian who dared not speak, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This world is so big that I can’t express my sorrow to anyone, no matter what, no matter what...
But... I'm afraid only that boy with an extraordinary mind can understand me~ But what if that boy knows my identity? What kind of scene should it be? Haha, it’s interesting to think about it~
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Li Junxian to step back.
Just when Li Junxian was about to retreat, Li Shimin suddenly gave another order and called out: "Li Junxian~"
"I'm here~"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "As for the surviving daughter of the Yang family, let Baiqisi allocate part of the manpower to continue the investigation. If anything happens, remember to report it in time! In addition, find out the people who participated in the interception and killing of Wang Wenxing and his wife. Ask about everything that happened back then!”
"I obey the decree!"
"Okay, let's get down~"
Then Li Junxian bowed his body and bowed, then left.
Li Shimin paced back and forth in the Chengqing Hall, his expression serious and his brows furrowed.
Unexpectedly, there was such a past between Tang Sufan's parents and the court, although Tang Sufan's parents did not die directly at his hands.
But it is true that he was killed by the Prince of Qin in the palace of Qin. He and his Li family are inseparable...
What should be done about this? How can I give this kid an explanation?
It would be fine if this kid didn't know, and let this past incident disappear with the wind. If this kid knew about it in the future, what would he do based on his character?
After all, with the weight Tang Sufan showed, Li Shimin had to think about it ~
Li Shimin thought about it, alas, let's just wait until Li Junxian investigates the case clearly.
No matter what, Wang Wenxing and his wife must be given a clean slate. This matter is either for Tang Sufan or for Li Shimin to understand his own thoughts...
Just when Li Shimin was about to continue handling matters, a eunuch came to report that it was the empress's personal maid who wanted to see him.
Li Shimin sat down again, called over, and asked, "What's the matter with the queen?"
The maid bowed her head and said in a soft respectful voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Academician Confucius and several colleagues in the Qinghe Garden will organize a poetry meeting tomorrow. It will be very interesting to hear that. Her Royal Highness the Princess is also making trouble these days. I left the palace to relax and asked the emperor if he would go with me. If the emperor went, the empress said that she had already made preparations~"
After hearing this, Li Shimin gave a doting smile and said: "This girl, Li Zhi, spends all her time having fun and neglecting her studies, so let's just ask the queen to take her there. When she goes back, she will report back to the empress and say that I am busy with work, so I won't go now~ "
"Yes~"
The maid bowed and bowed, then left.
As soon as the palace maid left, the doting on Li Shimin's face suddenly disappeared. He picked up a memorial on the desk and then picked up the ink pen.
Then he looked away and said as if talking to himself: "Let Wang Meng lead the team and secretly strengthen the protection of the queen and princess!"
Then, a voice slowly came from somewhere in the Chengqing Hall: "I obey the decree!"
……………………
In the Ganlu Hall, the laughter of mother and daughter could be heard from time to time.
The palace maid just entered the palace, bowed and replied to Li Shimin's words.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun said: "Well, Your Majesty is busy with affairs. It's convenient for us, mother and daughter, to go there without having to mobilize a large crowd. You go down to make arrangements first and say hello to Kong Jijiu. This time, we will leave incognito." Can………"
"Yes, my dear~"
"Mother, did your father allow us to go out and play~?"
At this time, a little girl wearing a splendid palace dress hugged the eldest grandson and spoke softly and sweetly.
The little girl's skin is as white as jade, and her big, watery eyes show her intelligence. When she smiles, the two dimples on her face are particularly cute.
Empress Changsun pinched the little girl's nose and said teasingly: "You are a girl who only knows how to play. Last time I pulled out your father's beard. Your father was not angry and didn't say anything. He also allowed you to leave the palace. You said that my father Is it good for you?"
Li Lizhi smiled sweetly: "Hehe, my father is the best to me~ I can go put out the lanterns with my sister~"
Empress Changsun continued to smile and said: "When will you learn some gentleness from your sister? Besides, how can there be any lanterns at the Poetry Festival?"
After hearing this, Li Lizhi smiled and buried her head in Empress Changsun's arms.
Beside, stood the graceful Princess Li Lirou of Yuzhang in palace attire.
Li Lirou also smiled sweetly: "Mother, isn't it good to be beautiful and happy?"
Empress Changsun glanced at Li Lirou angrily and smiled like a brocade flower: "Rou'er, you know how to pamper your sister."
Then Empress Changsun took Li Lirou's little hand: "Rou'er, this time is just right. I heard that there will be many young talents in the Qinghe Garden Poetry. Then you can see if there is anyone you like, and the queen can take a look for you... …”
Li Lirou's pretty face suddenly became a little brighter, and she said coquettishly: "Empress, I don't want to get married yet..."
Maybe in her heart, all the talents in the garden are no match for Tang Sufan alone~
"You are not young anymore. Although you are not born to me, I have treated you as my own daughter over the years. In the past, several important officials in the court wanted to propose marriage, but I persuaded them to go back.
"This palace is so deep, and I also hope that you can find a loving husband. If I can find a good family for you, I can also have an explanation for my late sister Ying'er in the future..."
After hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Lirou's eyes turned slightly red.
Li Lirou hugged Empress Changsun and whispered slowly and softly like a young butterfly: "I know the queen's thoughts, and I have been deeply grateful for the kindness of my mother and father in these years~"
Empress Changsun patted Li Lirou's shoulder and sighed softly: "You kid! Why are your eye sockets shallower than mine~"
