[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

As the days passed, Xu Shi understood that even if he confides, no one will listen. Li Chengqian gradually restrained his emotions, but his behavior remained the same,

The prestige of the king of Wei was rising day by day among the courtiers, and the rumors that the emperor was going to abolish the establishment were rampant.The staff members of the Eastern Palace were so anxious that their hair turned gray, but Li Chengqian did not change at all. Even the satisfaction of the onlookers noticed the prince's abandonment.

Xinxin knew that behind the back of his sensuality, Li Chengqian would lock himself in the Chongren Hall every day, and only Hanwang Li Yuanchang, General Hou Junji and others could enter.Wishing to see them arguing fiercely and planning tirelessly, he was terrified, and he vaguely guessed what the crown prince wanted to do.

In the middle of the night that day, Li Chengqian stood alone in front of Xinxin's tombstone, raised his hand and added a handful of paper money to the brazier, with a trace of determination in his stern eyes: "Xingxin, I will definitely avenge you, just wait a while." wait."

Xin Xin stared at the flickering fire, and looked anxiously at the lonely man.

A few days later, before Li Chengqian could take any action, the news of Qi Wang Li You's rebellion came.When Hou Junji reported this matter to Li Chengqian, he heard the crown prince personally say: "Li Youyuan is in the fiefdom, and he wants to rebel, how can he compare to the East Palace, which is close to the water."

Yi Xin was stunned, he didn't expect that Li Chengqian really had the intention of treason.He wanted to remind Li Chengqian that walls have ears, and he wanted to step forward and cover Li Chengqian's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense.

However, he can't do anything.

Like fate, King Qi's case was investigated several times, and Li Chengqian's cronies were actually found.The confidant couldn't help being severely punished, not only confessing the details of Li You's rebellion, but also exposing Li Chengqian's plan to rebel and force the palace.

Li Shimin looked at the paper confession and tilted his body, he was about to fall down, but fortunately the attendant held him up in time, and it took a while before he regained his strength.

The prince's rebellion is a serious matter. Li Shimin first put Li Chengqian under house arrest in another palace, and ordered Situ Changsun Wuji, Sikong Fang Xuanling and Ying Zhongchen to hear the case together.

The once glorious prince became a prisoner overnight, and even the guards no longer respected him.When Li Chengqian left the East Palace, facing the room full of treasures, he only took the little wooden figure with him.

Xin Xin followed behind Li Chengqian, seeing him dragging his inconvenient legs and moving towards the other palace little by little, all the palace servants who had been respectful to him in the past avoided him.

In the desolate garden of the other palace, Li Chengqian put the wooden figure on the table, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud, the laughter contained a bit of hysteria, which made one's heart chill.

"Xingxin, in your eyes, I must be a waste, the majestic crown prince, I can't even avenge you." Li Chengqian's fingertips stroked the blurred eyebrows and eyes of the little wooden figure, and his hoarse voice came out. She expressed a trace of tenderness: "However, this is also good. I can finally accompany you on the road to Huangquan. It is a capital crime for the crown prince to seek rebellion. Don't worry, it won't be too long."

With sore heart in his heart, he desperately opened his throat, and shouted at Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, I am here. If you look back, I am here."

Two people separated by yin and yang, one sees things and thinks about others, weeps secretly, and the other is helpless with tearful eyes.In the other palace, the time seemed to be very long, Li Chengqian waved away all the servants, and trapped himself in the room alone.

He originally planned to see no one, and it would be good to be stuck like this for the rest of his life, but on this day, he welcomed Taizong Li Shimin, his most respected and beloved father.

The successive blows made Li Shimin look much older.When Li Shimin entered the room, the little wooden figure was placed on the table neatly, but Li Chengqian quickly hid it in his arms.Li Shimin noticed his small movements, but he didn't say anything.

He just tried to sit down close to Li Chengqian like the father and son had a heart-to-heart talk before, and slowly said: "Chengqian, father doesn't understand."

Seeing Li Chengqian's face was indifferent, but he didn't do anything else, Li Shimin continued: "I think I have never treated you harshly, and the food and clothing are all according to the crown prince's rules. You suffer from foot disease and are very dangerous. I will find you for you." Famous doctors all over the world have also invited eminent monks to pray for you. On the way of being a king, I have even invited famous teachers with high morals and respects for you. Look at the East Palace today, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu, and Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, who is not a famous virtuous man all over the world. Cheng Qian, ask yourself, how much effort and energy did your father spend all these years cultivating you, how did you..."

Li Shimin choked up as he spoke. Li Chengqian opened his mouth when he heard the words, but couldn't say a word.They are obviously a father and son who are connected by flesh and blood, but at this moment they are like strangers.

Without warning, Li Chengqian's knees went limp, and he knelt down in front of Li Shimin, saying in a trembling voice, "My child, I only want to die now, and I hope my father will be fulfilled." underfoot.

Li Shimin bent down to pick up the wooden man. When he saw the wooden man's eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't help trembling and said: "You are just for him, and you don't care about anything? Where do you put the Tang Dynasty, the country, the country, and the father and son's family? Where is it, where is the law of nature and human relations?" As if to confirm, Li Shimin looked at the wooden figure carefully again, even though he was as angry as he was, he had to admit that the carving was too similar.

"You want to kill your father for the sake of one's heart?" Li Shimin took a deep breath, raised his hand and smashed it fiercely, the wooden man suffered such a catastrophe, and fell to pieces in an instant.

The debris of the wooden man made Li Chengqian think of the mutilated corpse of Xinxin. He only felt a splitting headache, and couldn't help covering his temples with his hands, and let out a broken wail.

Li Shimin looked at this son who had made him so proud, like a madman, picking up the shattered wooden man with distress, and the trembling emperor suddenly fell down on the stool.

I don't know how long it took to pick it up, Li Chengqian carefully put together the remains of the wooden man, but at the last moment, he found that a part was still missing.

Just like a dead person cannot be brought back to life, a broken wooden man can never be restored.

Li Chengqian stared blankly at the incomplete wooden figure in his hand, and looked at the emperor with bloodshot eyes. Li Shimin reached out several times to help him up, but finally gave up.

Looking at the prince who was slumped on the ground, Yixin felt extremely distressed. If he could choose, he would rather never meet Li Chengqian.If he hadn't met, Li Chengqian would still be that lofty prince, instead of turning into a goshawk with its wings broken like now.

When Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian saw this upright man, with his back slightly hunched, a few strands of silver ran out from the place not covered by the crown.

His father is really not young anymore.
