Li Shimin's words paused for a moment, and then he continued to speak to Zai Changsun: "But you have to be prepared. Maybe you can only leave one. It's just a guess. After all, Xiao Sizi will never show mercy to his enemies."
"I understand, go ahead Erlang"
Li Shimin called the palace maids and eunuchs who were hiding far away to escort the eldest grandson back to the Zhengdian Palace. A group of palace maids and eunuchs saw that the eldest grandson was not in good condition, so they brought the eldest grandson back to the Zhengdian Palace to rest with a chariot transferred from the palace.
The eldest grandson who was helped out of the Taiji Hall glanced at the imperial study room on the third floor in the distance and felt helpless in her heart. The choice between royal blood, family ties and power was really too difficult. She was really complaining about Li Mingda. , but can't feel resentment. After all, it was Changsun Wuji who killed him first. It's hard to say what is right or wrong.
Just like when Li Shimin went to Xuanwu Gate to gamble with all his strength, she brought her concubines, concubines, heirs and servants with horizontal knives in their hands. Once Li Shimin failed or enemies came, all they had to do was He was humiliated and exploited even if he refused to be captured alive.
She understands the eternal principle of becoming a king and defeating a bandit for thousands of years, but she doesn't like it.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi witnessed what happened today. The three of them seemed very silent on the way back to Tianlao. Even when Changsun Wuji struggled and howled on the road, they were not in the mood to take another look.
This time, for the first time, they felt that death was right next to them. They could only watch helplessly, without any ability to struggle.
It's so scary.
Back inside the prison, the three of them gathered inside Li Chengqian's cell. Although they took out the playing cards, none of the three were in the mood to do anything.
Changsun Wuji was forcibly escorted to his cell in Tianlao. No matter how crazy he yelled, the jailer would not pay attention to him.
Li Daozong was escorted back behind them, looking a little downcast, but overall he had more success than Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji calculated people's hearts and ended up losing again to Li Mingda, who didn't play according to common sense.
Li Daozong was saved because he had been careful in everything he did since Li Shimin ascended the throne and left himself a way out. Sure enough, he managed to escape this time.
When Changsun Wuji saw Li Daozong coming in, his eyes widened like a mad cow and he pointed at Li Daozong and yelled: "Li Daozong, you are a villain. You actually broke the promise and sat down to do such despicable behavior. It's really..."
Changsun Wuji cursed for a while, but Li Daozong remained expressionless as if he wasn't talking about him. Not long after, Chai Lingwu, who was wailing and beating the staff thirty times, was dragged in by the Jin Yiwei.
After being thrown into the prison, the imperial doctor applied ointment to him and left. In the process, the target of Changsun Wuji's curse changed from Li Daozong to Chai Lingwu.
Chai Lingwu, who could only lie down due to the beating, turned to look at Changsun Wuji who was scolding him. He replied with a very embarrassed look on his face: "It's all you. Why bother with His Majesty? As we agreed, we just need to explain something to each other." In the past, you were so clever that you defeated His Majesty and caused us to be harmed."
Changsun Wuji: "Humph, idiot"
Listening to Changsun Wuji say this, Li Daozong suddenly stood up and said to Changsun Wuji: "The Prime Minister Changsun is the Prime Minister Changsun. The acting is good, but there are struggles and regrets along the way. , when you came to Tianlao, you didn’t forget to scold me a few times. If Mr. Changsun goes to act, he will definitely become famous all over the country."
These words were full of ridicule. Changsun Wuji had no expression on his face, and his eyes were fixed on Li Daozong: "What do you mean~!"
Li Daozong: "Everything that happened in the Taiji Palace today has been as expected. In your Duke Zhao's mansion, the only people who need to save their lives are Changsun Chong and Changsun Yan. Their identities are displayed there. Compared with the Supreme Emperor, You and the Empress Dowager will definitely do their best to protect the lives of the two of you. As for you, you also know that His Majesty will not let you die so easily."
"So Lingwu must be more cautious when dealing with this kind of person. When he said the first sentence to you, he had already planned how to sell you in the future."
There are not many words, and the reason is very simple, but the facts are facts. Just like what Li Daozong said, Changsun Wuji seems to have really lost nothing. Apart from being beaten with a stick for thirty times, he seems to be really doing well. The worst one.
Chai Lingwu: Huh, two old foxes. Sure enough, I didn’t end well by cooperating with them. The list I didn’t copy all was not useless for today. At least Mingzun Saint Emperor Li Mingda knew that he was He had to do it. As for whether he would die, Chai Lingwu was not worried. After all, he was the son of Princess Pingyangzhao Li Xiuning. The Chai family gave her a lot of help when Emperor Mingzun Li Mingda first opened his mansion and established a government office. As long as he doesn't do anything to assassinate Li Mingda, he won't die.
There are only three people in the prison who are hovering on the edge of death. Chai Lingwu thinks that the first one is Changsun Wuji, followed by Li Chengqian. He is the deposed prince and his identity is very embarrassing. As for the third one, he is Li Daozong. Don't look at him now. He is the one who is most likely to die when he talks calmly and calmly.
Li Daozong and Li Mingda were just cousins. Li Daozong had a lot of influence in the army. Even if he took the initiative to disperse the people, an emperor would be suspicious of his mentality and methods. Eighty-nine times, he was killed directly.
The only reason why Li Shimin didn't take action against Li Daozong in the first place besides cherishing his reputation was that Li Daozong hid it too deeply. He had no idea how many of his generals would defect after he issued the order to kill Li Daozong.
Li Shimin was born in the military and made great contributions to Li Tang. Li Daozong was also born in the military and his contribution was even greater than that of Li Shimin.
The three brothers Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi were nesting together. They could hear what Li Daozong and Changsun Wuji were talking about, and the words entered their ears. They all knew in their hearts that the reason why these two people were talking loudly was for the three of them to hear. .
His heart is not good
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Daozong and Changsun Wuji from the corner of his eye and whispered to his two younger brothers: "Qingque and Zhinu, be careful. Li Daozong and Changsun Wuji are holding back bad water."
Li Tai also glanced at Li Daozong and Changsun Wuji with the corner of his eye, took over Li Chengqian's words and continued: "Maybe they want to drag our brother into the water."
As the toughest of the three brothers, Li Zhi has the lowest intelligence and has no backbone. He quietly asked Li Chengqian and Li Tai: "Brothers, what should we do?"
