Boom!!
It was as if thunder exploded in Li Yuan's mind.
He was stunned.
Li Jiancheng was his son.
But now, fratricidal things happened. His second son killed his eldest son. Li Yuan was absent-minded for a moment and immediately recovered. The expression on his face was already full of grief.
Once, when he served the Sui Dynasty, he witnessed the struggle for the throne between the two brothers Yang Yong and Yang Guang. Because Yang Yong, as the eldest son, was suppressed everywhere, made things difficult everywhere, and finally died unjustly.
In the end, the Sui Dynasty died for two generations.
When Li Yuan witnessed the struggle for the throne of the Sui Dynasty, he was actually watching the fire from the other side of the river. He even felt that Yang Jian was incompetent to let his sons fight. But now, there was a struggle for the throne between his two sons.
In the end, it was the second son who killed the eldest son.
At this moment, Li Yuan truly felt his incompetence. Because he did not have the ability to suppress the struggle between his two sons. Originally, Li Yuan's idea was to help the eldest son Li Jiancheng everywhere. On the one hand, Li Jiancheng was the eldest son. In order to maintain the order of the Tang dynasty, Li Yuan needed to do so. On the other hand, he did not let the struggle for the throne happen, so that Li Jiancheng's strength could steadily surpass the Qin Mansion.
Now, it seemed that he could not fail anymore. That pair of turbid eyes were already soaked with tears, flickering with a little bit of sparkling light. It was just that the tears hovered in his eyes and never flowed down.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.
After a while, he heard hurried footsteps outside the main hall. It was Li Shimin who took the lead to enter. Du Qi, Zhangsun Wuji, and the other civil and military officials of the Qin Mansion entered the main hall together.
Li Yuan's eyes widened.
He saw Du Qi.
Li Yuan thought that even if Du Qi and the Qin Mansion had a connection, it should not be too deep. After all, Du Ruhui had already been transferred away. But now, it seemed that even if he transferred Du Ruhui out of Chang 'an, he still failed.
Li Yuan's gaze fell on Li Shimin.
Anger rose up in an instant.
Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng, killed his elder brother.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said coldly, "The Qin King is so capable, even killing his own elder brother. Now that you've brought people here, are you preparing to kill your father? "
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Father Emperor, Erchen only rose up to fight back, how can I kill my father? The Crown Prince conspired to rebel, so I killed the Crown Prince and Prince Qi in order to restore stability to the Tang dynasty. "
"Hahaha …"
After Li Yuan heard this, he laughed loudly.
There was mockery in his laughter.
Li Yuan said, "Qin Wang really knows how to talk. The Crown Prince conspired to rebel, why did he rebel? After all, the Crown Prince was the crown prince of the Tang dynasty and the future emperor of the Tang dynasty. He only needs to wait for a hundred years, and he will be the emperor. "
Pausing for a moment, Li Yuan said hysterically, "The one who rebelled is you, right? You raised an army to rebel, killed the Crown Prince, the Prince of Qi, killed your brothers, yet you put the blame on others. "
When Li Shimin heard this, his expression was solemn.
There was even a hint of pain.
As a son, being criticized by his own father like this, Li Shimin's heart was still somewhat uncomfortable. What's more, he had indeed killed his elder brother and younger brother from the same mother.
However, Li Shimin was also clear that there was no turning back. At this point, he already had no choice.
He could only move forward.
Even when Li Shimin heard Li Yuan's mocking words, Li Shimin's expression was solemn. He said, "Imperial Father, no matter what you say, to me, I don't think I did anything wrong."
Li Yuan's eyes were fierce. He gritted his teeth and said, "Good, very good. Until now, you still don't think you're wrong. You're very proud of your success in the rebellion, right, my good Qin Wang, my good son! "
Li Shimin frowned.
Li Yuan was overbearing today, very different from usual. However, Li Shimin was not reconciled. He wanted to make things clear with Li Yuan. He waved his hand, letting Zhangsun Wuji, Pei Ji, and the other civil and military officials withdraw. Only Du Qi remained.
In the main hall, only Li Yuan, Xiao Li, Li Shimin, and Du Qi were left.
Li Yuan coldly swept a glance at Du Qi. His gaze fell on Li Shimin again. He said, "You, Li Shimin, quietly won over Du Qi. Your methods are really powerful. You're so powerful, it's normal for you to be able to defeat the Crown Prince. After all, you deliberately schemed to deal with the Crown Prince. But the Crown Prince was completely defenseless. "
When Li Shimin heard Li Yuan's words, he suddenly laughed loudly.
There was no pride in his laughter, only desolation.
That was how his Imperial Father saw him.
His Imperial Father was so biased toward the Eastern Palace.
Li Yuan naturally heard Li Shimin's laughter. He said coldly, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Shimin said, "Imperial Father said that I quietly won over Du Qi. But Imperial Father forgot how the Eastern Palace dealt with Du Qi. Time and time again, they even sent people to rob, kill, and assassinate Du Qi. "
"If not for this, how could Du Qi stand on my side? Even if the Crown Prince is the heir apparent, he can't be so willful and rash. Father, you should have a rough idea of what the Eastern Palace has done to Du Qi. "
"There's no need for me to elaborate on the many things the Eastern Palace did in the past."
"This is the reason why Du Qi is working for me."
Li Shimin continued, "As for Imperial Father saying that I schemed and the Crown Prince was completely defenseless, what a joke! Imperial Father only knew that Li Daozong, Luo Shixin, and Yin Kaishan died on the battlefield, but did he know that their deaths were inseparable from the Crown Prince? "
"In order to restrict me, in order to restrain me, the Crown Prince and Li Shentong worked together to kill Li Daozong alone and helpless. Luo Shixin and Yin Kaishan also died one after another. Were they wronged?"
As these words were spoken, Li Shimin's heart gradually became angry.
Endless resentment burst forth.
Li Shimin continued, "Imperial Father said that the Crown Prince was completely defenseless and had no intention of scheming. The people around me, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Gong, Chen Yaojin, and others were all transferred out of Chang 'an, and some were even demoted. They were all extremely miserable."
"Isn't this the Eastern Palace against me?"
"Was it completely defenseless?"
Li Shimin's voice was getting louder and louder. He looked at Li Yuan with anger in his eyes and said, "Let's not talk about the distant things. Recently, the Eastern Palace held a banquet and invited me to go, and openly poisoned my wine. Fortunately, I only drank a little of the wine and spat the rest of the wine on my sleeve to escape. "
"Even so, I was sick for several days."
"Did Imperial Father care for me at all?"
"No!"
"Imperial Father has always been partial to the Eastern Palace."
As Li Shimin spoke, tears began to gather in his eyes. Bean-sized tears flowed out, streaked across his cheeks, and fell from his cheeks.
It was said that men did not cry easily, but it was only because they had not been hurt. Li Shimin's heart had accumulated too much resentment over the years.
Now, it all burst out.
