However, there was no fear in Li Ke's eyes. Instead, he looked straight into Li Shimin's eyes.
"Father, I had no intention of going to war with you, but I am very aware of what you did by condoning the military talents."
"If I don't fight hard this time, the martial arts people will kill me, and now I will become a handful of loess."
Li Shimin laughed twice after hearing his son say such words.
"My good son, I really raised a good son."
"One or two of you all want Wu Cairen to die."
"You are, and so are those ministers, but how could such a stable country in the Tang Dynasty be affected by a mere woman?"
"It's just you people making excuses for your incompetence."
"If a woman can really overthrow an entire dynasty, what's the use of the empires that the soldiers worked so hard to build? Just send one woman to solve this problem."
Even at this time, Li Shimin still wanted to protect Wu Meiniang.
After hearing this, Li Ke just chuckled, and then looked up at his father.
"Father, if it's really what you said, then why have you never dared to favor Wu Cairen for so many years?"
"And why do you like her so much, but you only dare to let her stay in the position of talented person?"
"Father, you should have answers to these questions in your heart, but you just don't want to face them."
"But Father, just avoiding it won't make the problem go away, right?"
Li Shimin, who looked chilling just now, began to laugh at himself after hearing these words.
Yes, if I really didn't care about those things, how could I have suppressed Wu Meiniang in the palace all these years.
"King of Shu, I will send an edict to you, but you cannot kill each other with the remaining brothers."
"You have to save Wu Cairen's life, so that you can sit on that seat legitimately."
Li Ke was a little shocked after hearing this.
He never thought that at this time, his father would actually want to stay with Wu Meiniang.
After thinking of this, Li Ke shook his head helplessly.
"Father, I can agree to you temporarily, but the premise is that Wu Meiniang can keep her peace."
"When the time comes, let him spend his old age with you in your palace. If she dares to do anything beyond her limits, I can't guarantee it."
Others didn't understand the principle of success as king and failure as bandit, but as the emperor, Li Shimin knew it very well.
"Okay, I promise you."
After that, Li Shimin dragged his slightly fat body and slowly walked into the palace.
Li Ke took off his armor and sword and went in with him.
When he walked to the front of the main hall, Li Shimin fell into a trance.
"Ke'er, this is where I saw you off to your fiefdom, and it was also where I held the ceremony to confer you the title of King of Shu."
"So many years have passed in such a flash. How about I have someone hold your canonization ceremony here this time?"
Li Ke sneered when he heard this, and then looked at Li Shimin with snake-like eyes.
"Father, as you are getting older, you may have forgotten that this was the place where my mother was so grieved by my passing that the root of her disease developed, which ultimately led to her depression."
Sure enough, Li Shimin, who had been licking a calf just now, changed his face when he heard this.
He never thought that this silent son seemed to have no desires and desires, but ended up writing down all these things.
"Ke'er, I was the one who felt sorry for you and your mother back then."
After saying this, Li Shimin sighed.
When Wu Meiniang, who stayed in the dormitory, looked at Li Ke who was following Li Shimin, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
After all, looking at His Majesty's appearance, he really doesn't look like he has returned from a victorious battle.
However, why did Li Ke come in alone with His Majesty?
After Wu Meiniang, who was still stunned nearby, saw Li Shimin's gaze, before she could speak, Li Shimin spoke first.
"Mei Niang, come here and help me sharpen the ink."
Wu Meiniang, who heard what Li Shimin said next, hurried over in a hurry. After walking to the desk, Wu Meiniang began to sharpen ink for him.
After looking at what Li Shimin wrote on the imperial edict, Wu Meiniang's hand that was sharpening the ink paused.
She never expected that His Majesty would actually write such an imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Before Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she heard Li Shimin speak.
"I have already made an agreement with Ke'er. From today on, I will live in my own palace, and you will serve me closely. Is there any problem?"
Wu Meiniang, who wanted to live, naturally had no objection after hearing what Li Shimin said.
Li Ke next to him was also very helpless after hearing what Li Shimin said.
How could Li Shimin, who was so decisive in other matters on weekdays, be so confused at this time?
He clearly knew the danger of Wu Meiniang.
But now that he has agreed to Li Shimin, there is absolutely no reason to go back on his word.
"Wu Cai Ren, I hope that you can take good care of him in my father's palace. If you let me know that you have any second thoughts, I will definitely punish you even if it is a crime that makes the world scold you." .”
Wu Meiniang, who was still young and had not yet grown up, naturally nodded her head immediately after hearing Li Ke's threatening words.
"Prince Shu, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Your Majesty when the time comes."
Looking at the written imperial edict, Li Ke immediately took the imperial edict.
"Father, I will do whatever I promise you, but I must also do what you promised me."
After Li Ke finished saying this, he strode out of the palace with the imperial edict.
At this moment, Li Shimin slumped in his chair.
The life-long hero came to an end like this, and Wu Meiniang next to her didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, His Majesty is now being forced to abdicate by his own son. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, which palace are you going to live in next? I'll pack up all the things you commonly use and take them there."
Li Shimin, who was still stunned, glanced at Wu Meiniang standing next to him, and then smiled to himself.
