Chapter 56: The Secret Words of the Palace (2-in-1) "Auntie walks slowly, uncle walks slowly."
Seeing off Changxinhou and his wife with a smile on his face, Li Zhen's smile did not put away - on the contrary, it became more and more brilliant, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony was about to begin, and some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods also jumped out, things are really getting more and more fun......
It's interesting, it's really interesting.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Fuzi walked in: "Someone came to the palace, saying that His Majesty and the Queen Mother missed His Royal Highness King Xing and Princess Shouyang." ” "I know, you let them go back, I'll send the child over in person."
Li Zhen said expressionlessly, of course Li Shimin is not just missing the child, it is obvious that the visit of Changxinhou made Li Shimin suspicious, and he asked him to give him an explanation.
"Yes."
Xiaofuzi retreated, but Wu Meiniang walked out: "Your Highness, is there any situation?"
Why did Changxin Hou just leave, and his father announced that you had entered the palace?
” "It's okay, entering the palace this time is not a bad thing, but a great good thing."
Li Zhen said with relief - to be exact, this is not a relief, because this time he entered the palace, it is really a good thing, at least for Li Zhen, for Li Shimin and even for Datang, it is not a bad thing, but I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing for Changxinhou.
In the palace, Li Shimin was holding Li Zhao and teasing, and Li Huang was sent to the harem, watched by Concubine Yan - it is strange to say, it is clear that Li Huang is Li Zhen's son, if nothing else, he should be Li Zhen's heir.
However, Li Shimin didn't think it was unusual, but he liked Li Zhao very much, on the day he returned to Beijing, after Li Zhen and Wu Meiniang took their children into the palace, Li Shimin rewarded a lot of things at that time, according to Li Zhen's statistics afterwards, Li Zhao received almost twice as much as Li Huang from Li Shimin - of course, Li Huang did not suffer, because Concubine Yan obviously liked Li Huang, and even the rewards were biased towards Li Huang, and the two sisters and brothers offset each other, and no one was more than the other. “…… That's the way it is.
Li Shimin was playing with Li Zhao, but Li Zhen was reporting the situation this time below. "......"
Li Shimin was feeding Li Zhao milk (don't ask me where the milk came from), and almost choked Li Zhao, so scared that Li Shimin quickly came back to his senses, and when all the milk was fed, he hugged Li Zhao and said while humming: "That is to say, now our enemies are not only the remnants of the former Sui, but also the descendants of King Xi?"
” "That's it, that's right."
Li Shimin nodded, did not express his position, but asked: "How much do you think Li Mingchang's words are true?"
” "At least ninety percent."
Li Zhen replied without hesitation.
"So much?
Looks like you have a lot of faith in him.
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen in surprise, frowned and asked: "Don't forget, this Li Mingchang is a staunch supporter of King Xi, before I succeeded to the throne, but he suffered a lot at his hands, and he was scolded several times and couldn't come to the stage, such a character, what reason do you have to convince me that his sincerity is as high as ninety percent?"
” "This is very simple, no matter how loyal Li Mingchang is to King Xi, but King Xi has been dead for more than ten years, time is the medicine for everything, even if he was willing to die for King Xi back then, but after so much time, he himself already has a small family, and he has worries in his heart, and it is impossible to work hard for King Xi.
The second point, your suppression of Li Mingchang over the years has not been ineffective, at least it has worn out his fighting spirit, maybe ten years ago, he may have thought about helping Queen Xi's descendants, but after ten years of suppression, his pride and courage have long been exhausted, and he no longer has the courage to go against us.
The third point is that the environment of Datang is getting better and better, especially in recent years, the internal country and the people are safe, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the external is sweeping away strong enemies, even winning battles, and so on, has pushed the prestige of the father to a situation where there is no addition, and it is not much worse than the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and even surpasses.
Li Mingchang is a smart person, in this case, even if he has antipathy, he will never dare to show it. ” "Hahaha, Zhen'er, you are too awarded, compared with Emperor Qin and Emperor Hanwu, my father is still a little worse."
Li Zhen's last sentence can be regarded as a slap on Li Shimin's ass, after hearing that Li Zhen compared himself to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Li Shimin was comfortable, not only shame but also made him humble, but the tone of his speech had already indicated his mood at this time, and he almost didn't directly say, 'Come, keep shooting, shoot a little more of my father's sycophant, my father will be rewarded'. “…… Father, can you pay attention to the key points?
However, where did Li Zhen comply, rolled his eyes, and reminded Li Shimin speechlessly: "We are discussing business now, who said your merits?"
” "Uh......
Yes, yes, I'm talking about business. was on the rise, but someone poured cold water on him, Li Shimin was quite unhappy, but since Li Zhen reminded him, he had no choice but to follow Li Zhen's words: "But these are all your conjectures, and they cannot be used as evidence, and now I want real evidence." ” "Where did you get the evidence?"
Li Zhen's eyes rolled even more: "If there is real evidence, why would Erchen make these speculations?"
” "Then you mean, the information provided by Li Mingchang is true?"
"Erchen didn't say that."
Li Zhen categorically denied that he really hadn't said this.
Li Shimin was surprised: "Then what do you mean by this?"
Didn't you say before that there is a ninety percent chance that Li Mingchang's words are credible?
” "But what Erchen means is that Li Mingchang's attitude can be trusted, and his sincerity to his father can be seen, but if the information he provides, thirty percent of it will be true."
Li Zhen said: "Queen Xi is not stupid, if they believe in a person so easily, how can they hide it for so long without us noticing?"
Erchen estimated that this time Queen Xi's descendants provided information, it should be to test Li Mingchang and see if he was of great use - it turned out that this Li Mingchang was obviously more inclined to the side of the imperial court. ” "Isn't Li Mingchang very dangerous?"
"Father, don't take this kind of idiotic question to test the school's sons."
Li Zhen unceremoniously debunked Li Shimin's mind and said, "Do you really not understand such a question?"
What is the main thing about the queen now?
It is not to subvert the imperial court, but to hide and slowly develop power, the ministers have fought with them once before, which has destroyed their layout for decades, and their power has been forced away from the South Seas, with heavy losses, at this time the most important thing for them is to recuperate, how can they do useless work again?
What if you kill a Li Mingchang?
At most, it's just a breath, but a marquis has died, and we already know about their existence, but the court has to investigate thoroughly.

When the time comes, they will face a large-scale search for the entire Chang'an City, where do you think they can hide?
Instead of killing Li Mingchang to vent his anger, it is better to take advantage of this time to transfer more new forces. ” "Yes."
Li Shimin bowed his head and looked at Li Zhen again: "Zhen'er, you have to take care of the overall situation more than I imagined, which is very good, and my father is very pleased." ” "Father has won the award."
This time, it was Li Zhen's turn to be modest: "Compared with my father, my sons still lack a lot, and there is still a lot to learn from you." ” "Hehe, let's not talk about these scenes between us."
Li Shimin handed Li Zhao to the nurse waiting next to him, and waved them down.
Li Zhen knew that Li Shimin had something to say to herself, so she also looked fierce: "Father, is there something wrong?"
” "Are you ......"
Li Shimin wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Have you really seen the descendants of King Xi?"
” Li Zhen nodded and said: "This Erchen is very convinced, we really met each other, and at that time, Erchen was almost burned to death by him on the mountain, and you should know about this matter."
Erchen had seen the portrait of King Xi from the emperor's grandfather, and that Locke was really similar to King Xi, and at that time Erchen felt that he was familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him, so Erchen had been distressed for a long time. ” The so-called descendants of Queen Xi are naturally the children of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng who went to the people, that is, the Locke who almost burned Li Zhen to death on the mountain when he was in Linyi last year.
Originally, Li Zhen didn't associate him with King Xi, but today, Marquis Changxin came to visit him and said about it.
Not long after Li Zhen returned to Chang'an, Locke found the mansion of Marquis Changxin, revealed his identity, and told Marquis Changxin that they were going to carry out a sabotage at the upcoming ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, so that Li Shimin would lose face, hoping to get Li Mingchang's help, but Li Mingchang turned around and told Li Zhen about it, and then it was now.
At the beginning, Li Zhen didn't associate this person with the previous Locke, but then he remembered one thing, that is, when he saw Locke, he always felt that Locke was very familiar, and he always felt like he had seen him somewhere.
But no matter how you think about it, you just can't think of it.
However, when he walked into the palace, Li Zhen finally remembered that he had indeed not seen Locke, but he had seen Li Jiancheng - of course, this is impossible, I will never forget that when Li Zhen was born, the change in Xuanwumen had passed, and Li Jiancheng had already been buried.
However, he did have an impression of Li Jiancheng, because when Li Zhen followed Li Yuan, he saw Li Jiancheng's portrait, and was blatantly hung on the wall of his bedroom by Li Yuan, which can be regarded as a silent protest against Li Shimin's behavior of killing his brother and forcing his father.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Shimin doesn't often visit Li Yuan - Originally, this matter was originally his fault, but now when he goes to Li Yuan, he has to face Li Jiancheng, the king of Xi, and his heart is already empty, naturally it is even more empty, and over time he doesn't go much, even if he goes, he sits on the outside, and he won't go inside.
Li Shimin nodded and agreed with Li Zhen's words: "That's right, that's right, his real name should be Li Chengke, and his mother should be Luo Shuyuan next to King Xi. ” Knowing the identity of Li Chengke, that is, Locke, Li Shimin's mood became even lower: "Do you think that the father and the emperor are compensating this child now, will he accept it?"
” "Father, don't be naïve, unless you pass on the throne to him, how can he be willing?
What's more, even if you give him the throne, our family won't live long.
Li Zhen shook his head, somewhat understanding Li Shimin's feelings, after all, he was purely forced to fight with Li Jiancheng back then, because no matter which of the two of them was on the throne at that time, they would not allow the other person to live.
Although Li Shimin won in the end, he regretted it very much, and he had many nightmares because of this in his early years, and he had to have Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong to watch the door before he could sleep.
Now the situation is different, Li Shimin has sat firmly on the country, and no one can threaten his throne, so Li Shimin does not want to see his brothers fighting and his relatives bleeding, hoping to resolve this matter peacefully.
But Li Zhen knows that Li Shimin's idea is destined to be impossible - Li Shimin wants to settle things and calm people, but Locke, who has a grudge against Li Shimin for killing his father, does not have this idea, if he returns to the Tang Dynasty, it means that his efforts in the past ten years will be in vain, and more than ten years of hard work will also be made for others to make wedding dresses, how can this make him willing?
What's more, he has been in business for so many years, and there are countless heroes under his command, and these people are deeply hostile to the Tang Dynasty, even if Locke wants to return to the Tang Dynasty, these people may not agree.
"That's right, that's it, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, let you make your own decisions about these things, I don't care."
Li Shimin doesn't know what's going on today, it seems to be so decadent that he even said such a thing.
In the end, perhaps realizing the inappropriateness of his tone, Li Shimin cheered up and said, "But I hope Zhen'er will promise your father one thing." ” "But at the behest of my father."
"I hope that in the future, when you catch Locke, you won't kill him, and leave him a way to live."
Sighed again.
Li Shimin continued: "Back then, my father was young and vigorous, and he didn't leave a descendant for King Xi, and I regretted it every time I thought about it, but now it's okay, I didn't expect King Xi to have descendants among the people, and I don't want him to die." ” "It's easy to do."
Li Zhen smiled: "If Erchen can really capture him alive, he will be exiled to a desert island, and his name will be gone." ” "That's very good." got Li Zhen's promise, Li Shimin was also very satisfied, and the gloom on his face finally dissipated, which showed that the guilt in his heart before was real.
