Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 266 No mercy

Li Tai spoke seriously, but Li Shimin, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, frowned.

"What did you say?"

"The aristocratic family is like a cancer that parasitizes the country of our Great Tang. If it is not eradicated, the Great Tang will not be prosperous."

Li Shimin's voice was cold, and he stared straight at Li Tai, which only made him tremble with fear.

For a moment, Li Tai was stunned, looking at Li Shimin in disbelief.

It never occurred to Li Shimin that the aristocratic family was in such a difficult situation.

"But father..."

Li Tai wanted to say something else, but met Li Shimin's impatient eyes, and abruptly choked back his words.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said helplessly.

"You take care of yourself. If you get too close to the family and burn yourself, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai's body shook, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"I will keep in mind my father's teaching today, and if there is nothing wrong, I will leave first."

Li Shimin sighed heavily, the words have come to this point, and there is not much to say.

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Li Tai's face became gloomy immediately, but in his heart he was quite dismissive of what Li Shimin said just now.

"When a person is old, he looks forward and backward when doing things. It is not easy for this king to turn around and clean up the family after he uses the family to get rid of King Liang."

Li Tai was very confident in his heart, but he forgot that the aristocratic family had become a climate by then, and how could it be so easy to deal with his own army.

Originally thinking that this time the incident would end like this, Li Tai wanted to go home contentedly, but was stopped by Zhangsun Wuji who bumped into him head-on.

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment, the old minister has something to tell you."

Changsun Wuji looked anxious, and he couldn't help but pull Li Tai aside.

Although he is a courtier above the court, he is also Li Tai's uncle in private, so of course he should treat himself as an elder.

Li Tai frowned, feeling very unwilling in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

He could only look at Changsun Wuji impatiently.

"Master Changsun, if you want to say something, just say it, don't hide it."

Li Tai's business-like appearance made Changsun Wuji feel very uncomfortable, so he immediately dissuaded him.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, the current situation in the court is strange and changing. It is really inappropriate for you, as a prince, to be so involved with a large family."

Changsun Wuji was also afraid that his nephew would really embark on the road of no return like Li Chengqian, so he sincerely persuaded him.

"King Liang is suppressing the children of the family with such great fanfare in the army, how can His Highness fail to see that it is the emperor's order."

"At this juncture, if you make an enemy of King Liang, you are making an enemy of His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji's earnest persuasion had some effect after all.

Seeing Li Tai's face darken, his mind immediately became heavy, and he remembered Li Shimin's warning to him not long ago, and he felt a little scared in his heart.

But as a prince, Li Tai looked down on anyone in his bones, so he continued to speak stiffly.

"I don't need to worry about my affairs, Lord Changsun. After all, I'm not the only nephew you have."

Li Tai seemed to have remembered something and smiled meaningfully, which only made Changsun Wuji a little confused.

But what Li Tai said next made him feel extremely chilled.

"Uncle, before the crown prince was deposed, you didn't even want to look at me."

"My lord grandson, what I said is not wrong, is it?"

Li Tai called Changsun Wuji "uncle", then turned and left, leaving Changsun Wuji alone in a daze.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji left angrily, but he didn't intend to give up on Li Tai just like that.

Seeing Changsun Wuji hurriedly went to Prince Liang's Mansion, he had to come to see Li Min in person if things had developed to this point.

In the hall, Li Yin asked the housekeeper to make a pot of good tea, then sat opposite Changsun Wuji and started talking.

"What kind of wind is blowing today, so that the eldest grandson can come to me in person."

The corner of Li Yin's mouth twitched into a playful smile, but he could clearly see what Changsun Wuji was thinking.

Seeing the embarrassment on Changsun Wuji's face, he hurriedly got up and saluted Li Yin, and then said respectfully.

"Your Highness, King Wei is now colluding with the family to deal with you. The uncle, the old minister, is also at fault."

"It's just that King Wei is still young now, and I hope His Highness will be merciful because of my old face."

Changsun Wuji couldn't be more clear in his heart that Li Yin is not an easy character to get along with, if he doesn't do it or he doesn't do it, that's him.

This time, those aristocratic families tried to get rid of him to consolidate their own interests, but it was the most wrong decision they made in their lives.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help worrying about Li Tai, and if the power of the aristocratic family collapsed in the near future, he would naturally be involved.

Li Yin also understood what Changsun Wuji meant, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Your eldest grandson is really good at joking."

He opened his mouth to speak, but Zhangsun Wuji was stunned on the spot, and he was embarrassed for a while.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Changsun Wuji didn't give up, he just wanted to intercede for Li Tai.

Seeing that nine-year-old Li Min still had a childlike look on his face, but with a look of amusement on his face, even an important minister like Changsun Wuji, who had tyrannized the government and the public, was shocked.

"My lord grandson, who is older, King Wei or I?"

What Li Yin said was right, he was immediately stopped by Changsun Wuji, his eyes widened and he was unable to speak for a long time.

Finally he sighed.

"Your Highness is younger."

Li Shimin has so many sons, Li Tai is the fourth eldest, no matter how you say he is older than Li Yin.

At this point, Li Yin laughed louder.

"Fortunately, the eldest grandson still knows. In this way, you use the excuse that King Wei is young and ignorant to beg the king to show mercy. I'm afraid you are just playing with the king?"

The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, and his eyes became more ruthless, showing that he wanted to cut grass and roots.

"If I don't drive him into a situation where there is no redemption, dare to ask Master Changsun how he will treat me when King Wei gains power in the future?"

Li Min laughed secretly, and directly pointed out Li Tai's current death-seeking behavior.

Not to mention anything else, just colluding with aristocratic families in an attempt to give the army the right to speak is a big treason.

"Your Highness... Your Highness! The old minister is going to persuade him to let go of his greed for power. Your Highness must not let King Wei go to his death."

Changsun Wuji didn't give up, he just wanted to make the last effort to pull Li Tai, but he forgot how deadly Li Tai's behavior is now.

"Raising a private army is a big treason. At first, this king only wanted to suppress the aristocratic family, but he didn't expect that King Wei would make such an unwise choice." Li Min had made up his mind.
