"Come on, bring Li Chengqian to me!"

After dealing with the aristocratic family, Li Shimin shouted angrily.

Li Chengqian is the root of everything.

Li Shimin was heartbroken. He didn't expect his education to fail so much. Forget it, Li Yi didn't grow up with him, he didn't have any feelings for him, and he didn't receive a good education since he was a child. It's not unusual for him to go against him.

But Gao Ming is different, since he was born, I have placed high hopes on him, and even invited the best and most powerful scholars in the Tang Dynasty, masters, to teach him knowledge and pass on his way of life.

And teach him how to be a Mingjun.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. He admits that he has been a little stricter with him these years, but all of this is for his own good.

Li Shimin rubbed his sore brows, with a look of hopelessness on his face, unable to understand why it happened like this.

"Your Majesty!"

Soon Li Chengqian was brought up.

Seeing him, Li Shimin immediately said angrily.

Li Chengqian stood there proudly, not intending to kneel down, Li Shimin motioned to him, and the escorting soldier kicked his broken leg, and Li Chengqian immediately knelt down.

"Nie Zi, are you convicted?"

"I don't think I did anything wrong." Li Chengqian was forced to kneel on the ground, but he didn't wake up because of it. He was right, and it was Li Shimin who was wrong.

"you!"

Li Shimin was trembling with anger, "Nizi, you are disloyal and filial to me, you are unkind and unrighteous to the common people, and it's nothing more than colluding with the aristocratic family, but you dare to collude with the Turkic people to bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty, how can I tolerate you?"

Li Chengqian laughed, "Didn't I learn all this from you?"

"puff!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Saint, saint..."

The servant hurriedly helped him up, and while helping him breathe, he asked, "Saint, are you okay? Your body is important."

"That's right, saint, you can't fall down." Cheng Yaojin agreed, and when he spoke, he looked at Li Chengqian very unkindly.

The other ministers also comforted him, and after a while, Li Shimin's mood gradually stabilized.

He looked at the stubborn Li Chengqian with a pale complexion, his eyes were full of desolation, and all civil and military officials took Li Chengqian's crimes to play, and ordered Li Shimin to execute Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin looked at his son whom he loved since childhood, finally gritted his teeth and became ruthless.

Just as he was about to give an order, Li Chengqian spoke first. He stood up slowly, looked at the ministers who wanted Li Shimin to execute him, and said mockingly: "You people are really dignified."

"You keep asking Li Shimin to execute me, saying that I conspired against you and murdered my own brother. Yes, I did these things, but isn't this what Li Shimin taught by example?"

"Isn't Li Shimin's deeds supported by you? Isn't he the emperor you support as enthroned?"

"I just did the same thing as him, why can he be the emperor, and I...should be killed?"

"Could it be that he won because of the Xuanwu Gate incident?"

Li Chengqian's words pierced into Li Shimin's heart like a sharp sword, and all civil and military officials were speechless under Li Chengqian's repeated questioning.

History is written by the winners, and the losers have no right to intervene or refute.

Li Chengqian raised his head to look at Li Shimin again, and asked, "When you launched the Xuanwumen Change, did you think about our life and death?"

"I……"

Li Shimin was speechless.

When the Xuanwumen Incident was launched, he made an appointment with Empress Changsun, and if he won, he would share the glory and wealth.

If you lose, you will go to hell together.

As for Li Chengqian, Qing Que, and his other children, they were all left in the Prince Qin's mansion by him, their future uncertain, life and death unknown.

At that time, he really couldn't take care of so much, but he didn't know that this matter would have such a great impact on Gao Ming.

Li Shimin was full of self-blame.

"Report to the sage, the queen empress asks to see you!"

The servant suddenly came in to spread the word, Li Shimin nodded upon hearing the words, "Let the queen come in."

After all, Gao Ming is also the child of Guanyin's maidservant, so it is right for them to meet him.

Empress Changsun was pale, her eyes were scarlet, and Chunhua Qiuyue helped her in. When she saw Li Shimin, she knelt down with a plop.

Compared with Li Shimin, Li Tai's death and Li Chengqian's rebellion against Empress Changsun were a greater blow, which made her already weak body even weaker at this time.

Li Shimin looked at the frail and precarious wife who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up from the dragon chair, walked to Empress Changsun in three steps at a time, and stretched out his hand to support her.

"Queen, what are you doing?"

"Saint, my concubine is guilty, please punish me Your Majesty."

Empress Changsun knelt on the ground, showing no intention of getting up.

"Get up and talk." Li Shimin went to help again, "The ground is too cold, you are not in good health, get up quickly."

"No, Your Majesty, just let the concubine kneel down. The concubine is really uneasy and ashamed of the people of the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty." While speaking, Empress Changsun's tears also fell, because what she was most sorry for was Her second son Qing Que.

Li Shimin shook his head, knowing her temper, he didn't force her anymore.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up when he saw Empress Changsun, but then they dimmed, and he smiled mockingly, feeling that his behavior was ridiculous.

What else could he expect?

"Your Majesty, the poor discipline of the concubine caused Gao Ming to commit such a serious mistake. The concubine begs His Majesty to imprison him in Dali Temple for life. As for the concubine, please abolish the concubine as the queen, and reward the concubine with a three-foot white silk as a reward. atone for sin."

Empress Changsun wanted to use this method to change Li Chengqian's way of life. After all, both Qingque and Gao Ming were her sons, and her palms and backs were all flesh. She had already lost one son, and she could not lose the second.

But the [-] to [-] soldiers who died needed an explanation and someone to atone for their sins. The reason why Gao Ming made such a big mistake was because she, the queen mother, didn't discipline her well.

So, let her come to atone for it.

"Empress, you..." Li Shimin wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

"Hehehe...you really love my good mother, but you really tried every means to torture me. Instead of living and suffering, it's better to die."

Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief, she didn't expect that her pleading with painstaking efforts would end up with Li Chengqian's words.

"Gao Ming, I'm sorry, it's my mother who hasn't disciplined you well these years. You have made such a big mistake, so use the rest of your life to make up for it. As for the debt you owe, my mother will help you pay it off."

After the Empress Changsun finished speaking, she looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, please grant my concubine a death."

Li Shimin rubbed the center of his brows, and slapped on the cases with a bang, "Li Chengqian colluded with the family and foreign tribes to harm the court and the common people, take him down, and behead him three days later."

"Li Chengqian is my son, and I am also responsible for failing to discipline him well. I will issue an edict of guilt, plead guilty to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and give an explanation to the dead soldiers."
