Chapter 554 People are dying, and their words are also good

Wei Wangfu.

In recent days, Li Tai has felt unprecedented awkwardness. It was not until several killers sent to Puzhou came back to report that they had successfully finished Wei's price, that he was a little relieved.

But when he looked back, a ** character like Li Junxian, who did not stay in the palace to protect the sick emperor during this extraordinary period, actually ran to Bingzhou. It can be seen that Bingzhou is of great importance. In addition, he arrested Wei waiting for the price - does that mean that there is really unfavorable evidence about the king of Wei in the hands of Wei waiting for price?

Although Wei is dead now, what if the evidence is still there?

Thinking of this, Li Tai suddenly felt a deep chill in the bottom of his heart: It's broken! I got it!!

"I regret that I shouldn't have attacked Wei's price and startled the snake!" Li Tai was shocked and said, "Bingzhou has the figure of Li Junxian. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the father's secret handwriting - will they deliberately use Wei waiting as bait to lure me to take action? ...Broken,broken! I was in a hurry and worried for a moment. This is really a bad thing!!"

Just as Li Tai was in a hurry with his sweat on his forehead, Changshi Du Zhenglun hurriedly ran over and crashed into Li Tai's room directly without knocking on the door. His eyes were as big as copper bells, he grabbed Li Tai's hands and said, "Your Highness! - It's over, it's over!!"

Li Tai was panicking. He suddenly saw Du Zhenglun's expression, and he was almost scared to death. "What, what's wrong?"

"Wei and Wei are not dead! King Wu is not dead either!" Du Zhenglun was a little out of breath, and his face was pale and frightened, "Just now, just now! The king of Jin drove back to Beijing and entered the palace. Wei waited for the price to ride on a horse and walked around Li Junxian. He not only did he not die, but he didn't even look like a prisoner! - And! The king of Wu is also on the list! The king of Jin ordered his followers to celebrate the king of Wu's return to Beijing! Now, everyone in Chang'an knows it!"

"Ah!!" Li Tai shouted and sat on the ground on the spot. A pair of eyes suddenly lost their mind, like a dead fish.

"Your Highness, are you all right?" Du Zhenglun panicked and his whole body trembled.

"Zhao Chong... betrayed me!" Li Tai stared straight at Du Zhenglun with empty eyes and kept repeating, "Zhao Chong betrayed me, Zhao Chong betrayed me!"

"Den, Your Highness... That's all. What should I do?" Du Zhenglun was stared at by Li Tai and said in horror.

"Zhao Chong betrayed me... We are all tricked!" Li Tai said several times, suddenly shocked all over, and then laughed wildly, "Wonderful plan, clever plan! What a series of tricks, hahaha!"

Du Zhenglun said in a frenze, "Your Highness, why did you say this?"

"Now, you still don't understand?" After laughing, Li Tai suddenly screamed hysterically, then looked at the roof and muttered, "After all... all this is still under his control!" We wait, they are all pawns at his mercy! Ugly chess pieces, self-righteous chess pieces, stupid chess pieces!"

"Your Highness said, yes..." Du Zhenglun suddenly felt a boundless fear and dared not go on.

"That's right, that's right..." Li Tai nodded with a dull expression. "It's him, it's him... From beginning to end, everything is under his control. Fortunately, I thought everything was seamless and had already won. I didn't expect that I lost so completely from the beginning... I lost! It's a real defeat this time! It's a mess of defeat, and there's no place to die!"

"Your Highness, is it so serious?" Du Zhenglun was afraid in his heart, but he was still a little unremitable. He said carefully, "Although the King of Wu is not dead and Wei has returned to Beijing, His Highness has not made any abnormal actions and has not left any fatal evidence?"

"Du Zhenglun, I always thought you were extremely smart, but I didn't expect you to be the same as Wei Ting. You are so stupid!" Li Tai got up from the ground with difficulty and smiled with a pale smile. "Think about it, who told us that the King of Wu had been assassinated?"

"Zhao Chong?!" Du Zhenglun still didn't come to his senses and replied in a trun.

"But now the king of Wu has returned to the capital. What does this mean?"

"It means that Zhao Chong lied. He didn't kill the King of Wu. He lied to us - but what does this have to do with Your Highness?"

"Stupid!" Li Tai smiled bitterly, "Have you ever thought about it? Why didn't Zhao Chong kill the King of Wu? But did you lie to us that the King of Wu is dead?

"This..." Du Zhenglun was stunned and suddenly said, "Yes, he is reckless. Why did he do this?! Did he have a personal relationship with the King of Wu in Xiangyang?

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Li Tai sighed repeatedly, and the expression on his face was already desperate. He muttered, "Zhao Chong did not kill the King of Wu, but came to report the death of the King of Wu. The only purpose is to paralyze us and make us think that the victory is in hand. As soon as people are paralyzed, they are easy to get carried away and make mistakes. Well, I was scared by Li Junxian, so I rushed to kill people - this is Zhao Chong's purpose!"

"Zhao Chong is reckless. Why did he do this?" Du Zhenglun is still puzzled.

"Don't you understand?" Li Tai smiled as if he were crying and shook his head, "How can Zhao Chong's behavior still look like a reckless act? He is clearly a politician who is deeply depressed to an outrageous state! - Jianghu Cao recklessly turned into a politician. Why? Don't you understand it yet?"

"Ah!" Du Zhenglun suddenly realized and shouted in horror, "Your Highness is saying... Zhao Chong, is your majesty's person at all?"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Li Tai suddenly laughed hysterically.

This laughter sounded so horrible and frightening to Du Zhenglun. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and had the impulse to grab the door and escape.

"Father, my good father! It turns out that you have never really trusted me. You have been testing me and calculating me!" Li Tai suddenly fell to the ground weakly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm stupid, I'm really stupid!" I thought everything was well managed, just waiting for the victory! Unexpectedly, I fell into his trap from the beginning and never escaped! ...Okay, it's over. It's over. It's all over!"

"Your Highness, things are not so desperate, are they?" Du Zhenglun held his panic and said, "Even if the king of Wu is not dead, he is a concubine after all. How can he be qualified to compete with you for the East Palace? The king of Jin is cowardly and incompetent, and has no foundation in the court. Even Situ, who was willing to assist him, has given up on him - in the end, you still have a chance to win!"

"No, not at all. This time, I lost completely and lost in a mess!" Li Tai lay on the ground feebly and muttered to himself, "Since Zhao Chong is his father's son, he must have told his father all the truth about the assassination of King Wu. Do you know what the father hates most, that is, brothers are cruel to each other! And things like Xiangyang Longqi... It can't be remedied. It's all over!"

"It's difficult, is it possible that we lost to a Jianghu Cao Mang Zhao Chong?" Du Zhenglun shouted unwillingly.

"No, it's not to lose to Zhao Chong, but to..." Li Tai raised his head, his face was pale and bloodless, and his pupils were full of despair. He muttered, "My father!"

Du Zhenglun was stunned and speechless. He only felt that his whole body was as cold ashes. He said tremblingly, "So now... what should I do? Why don't you take the initiative to plead guilty as soon as possible? Anyway, Your Highness is also your majesty's own flesh and blood. Even if there is a mistake, your majesty will open up.

"Does it still make sense?" Li Tai grinned and smiled desperately with a wry smile, "After this defeat, my best ending is to be expelled from the imperial city like my eldest brother, exiled to a remote and cold place, and will not return to Beijing for the rest of my life... It's better to die happily than to wagging my tail and beg for a life!"

"Your Highness, no!" Du Zhenglun panicked and hurriedly grabbed the king of Wei, "It's not irreparable yet! After all, Li Ke has not yet entered the East Palace, and your majesty has not come to plead guilty! Maybe there are still variables? - Yes, there are also Situ and Uncle Changsun! You can find him! Your Majesty has always been obedient to him. As long as he comes forward to guarantee, he can at least protect His Highness!"

"It's useless." Li Tai shook his head feebly, "You don't know my father or my uncle. But for all small things, they can open and close their eyes. Once it touches the big thing and the bottom line, my uncle will stand with my father without hesitation and become ruthless! ...Have you forgotten the Xuanwu Gate?"

Hearing the word "Xuanwumen", Du Zhenglun's expression suddenly became petrified, and he thought to his heart: Yes! The emperor and Changsun Wuji have never been soft-hearted on principled issues! ...It seems that this time, the King of Wei, who seriously violated the bottom line in His Majesty's heart, really has no chance to turn the tables! His best ending may be the same as the former prince Li Chengqian...

"You go!" Li Tai suddenly said coldly, and got up from the ground, sat upright, straightened his messy hair and robe, and said, "When everything is settled, you go to the King of Wu to save your life!"

"Your Highness, why did you say this?" Du Zhenglun was shocked and said, "If the loyal minister doesn't have anything to do with the two masters, how can there be a reason to turn to the enemy in the face of great trouble?"

Li Tai grinned at the corners of his mouth and sneered like ashes, "Listen to my advice, let's go! If the King of Wu dies in a great disaster, he will be blessed. It won't be long before he will be appointed as the crown prince. But his party members in the court are not rich and have a deep foundation. At this time, as long as you take the initiative to plead guilty and surrender, he will definitely not remember the generous acceptance of the previous hatred. Including those ministers and officials who used to throw under my door, tell them to let them disperse and leave! Let's turn to the King of Wu as soon as possible! - I will be defeated. I don't want to drag you down to death together!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei! ..." Du Zhenglun suddenly knelt down in tears, "Du won't leave! Resolutely not to go! If you want to die, you will also die with Your Highness!"

"What's the pain?" Li Tai said lightly, "The prosperity of the Du family is all on you. Did you break the whole family for a moment's anger? ...Don't worry, the overall situation has been settled, and my heart has already been ashes. At this last moment, if you can save one more person, I will repay you for following me. It can also reduce a little turbulence and the loss of talents for the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty... People are about to die, and their words are also good! Listen to my advice, let's go!"

"King of Wei! ..." Du Zhenglun kowtowed in tears and banged.

"Let's go, my teacher... Mr. Du!" Li Tai slowly bowed his hand and sang a song to Du Zhenglun, "I was defeated by my father, and I was convinced by the defeat. There is nothing else to think about!" ...At this time next year, if you can burn two pieces of yellow paper on my grave, I will be comforted!"

Du Zhenglun, who was in tears, slowly raised his head and stared at the king of Wei, who saluted with big eyes. He was already desperate!

So, he stood up and stepped back a few steps, and bowed down, "Weichen Du Zhenglun, goodbye to my king!"

get up, every three steps back, a big bow!

"Sir, take care! ..." Li Tai, who fell to the ground, closed his eyes.

At this time, in the Penglai Hall.

Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, as well as Li Junxian and Wei, bowed down before the sickbed of Emperor Li Shimin. Next to it, there are also Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Yaoshi and Chu Suiliang.

"Seeing His Majesty Kang Yu, His Royal Highness the King of Wu and His Royal Highness the King of Jin return safely, the old minister's heart can be released again." Li Jing stroked his bere and smiled, "This is really the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the blessing of the world!"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others laughed and nodded.

Although Li Shimin woke up, he was still relatively weak. At this time, with a smile on his face, he said, "Sanlang, Zhinu, and you, get up!" I'm very relieved to see you all back safely.

"Thank you, Father!" Li Ke and Li Zhi both stood up and stood aside.

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin worriedly, as if he had something to say, but he did not dare to speak.

"Does Sanlang have something to say?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Ke suddenly turned around and knelt in front of the bed, "My minister, I want to ask my father for something!"

Everyone was slightly surprised and looked at the King of Wu.

"What's so big?" Li Shimin asked faintly.

"My son..." Li Ke seemed to be hesitant.

Changsun Wuji was understanding, waved his hand, and retreated with Li Jing and others. Only Li Shimin and Li Ke were left in the room.

"Say it!" Li Shimin said.

"I know that the details of the Jingzhou case must have been clear to my father. Therefore, my son is willing to ask..."

"What are you looking for?"

"My son is willing to beg my father to forgive the mistake made by the fourth brother for a moment!" Li Ke said, "Now my son is safe and has not suffered any harm!" Moreover, the fourth brother also ordered to protect me and not to hurt my life! It can be seen that the fourth brother is also kind-hearted, and he has no intention of competing each other! ...Please think about your father's love, forgive your fourth brother, and don't punish him!"

After saying that, Li Ke fell down and put his head on the ground, "Please complete your father!"

Li Shimin squinted at Li Ke, who was kneeling on the ground, and was speechless for a long time.

"Did I say I would punish the green finch?" Li Shimin suddenly said, "Anyone can make mistakes. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. I also saw that there was still a trace of kindness in his heart, so I secretly sent Li Chunfeng to take care of the matter of Nanshan. Ke'er, forget about this! ... You just need to remember that no matter what happened in the past, no matter what happens in the future, green finches and young slaves are all your siblings. You all have the same blood! One thousand and ten thousand years can't change this fact! So, never - never put the sword on your brother's neck! - If you do this, I will not let you go, all the people in the world will not let you go, and the Qingshi Danshu and your conscience will never let you go!"

Li Ke's heart couldn't help beating wildly. He knelt on the ground and replied in panic, "My minister, remember my father's teachings!" I will never forget it until I die!"

"Go back to rest and see your mother and say safe." Li Shimin seemed to be tired. He sighed and said, "Go out and ask the palace people to call the green finch to see me."

"Yes, my son is leaving..."

Li Ke withdrew from the bedroom and just walked outside the door of the palace, but saw Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others standing in front of the open fence of Longwei Road, looking into the distance. Li Ke looked in that direction and was shocked!

There is a place not far from the palace, where thick smoke is rolling and the fire is soaring to the sky!

Li Ke hurried over and asked, "What's going on?"

Changsun Wuji's face was blue and his eyebrows were locked, and a few words burst out between his teeth, "Wei Wangfu... a big fire!"
