"Mother Queen!"
When Empress Changsun entered the room, Li Tai immediately wept aloud, looking very miserable. It was he who sent the **** to deliver the news of his assassination to Empress Changsun. ..
"How is your injury?" Although Empress Changsun is the mother of a country, she is also a mother after all. Naturally, she is very concerned about her son's injury.
"I'm fine, I just hurt my leg." When he said that, Li Tai put his hand on the freshly bandaged wound, "If I hadn't dodged in time, I'm afraid what the queen mother sees now is the body of the son. , I beg your mother to be the master for your children!" Li Tai burst into tears.
"Do you know who did it?" Although Li Chengqian is currently the most suspicious, Empress Zhangsun can't judge that Li Chengqian did it just by guessing, and she doesn't want to see her two sons killing each other. It's just to test whether Li Tai has the evidence, if not, she just wants to make a big deal a small one.
Li Taidao: "Although I don't know who it is, the most likely mastermind now, the Queen Mother must also know very well."
"You mean the prince?" asked Empress Changsun.
"Who else is there besides him now? May I ask my mother, if I die, who will benefit the most." Li Tai said. Empress Changsun stood up and said, "Although you say this, but you have any evidence that the crown prince did it. If this is a trick of the enemy, and deliberately let your brothers kill each other, wouldn't it be in line with their wishes at that time."
Li Tai only had the throne in his mind, and he put all his heart on Li Chengqian, but he didn't think about other possibilities. He thought for a while and said: "If it's not the prince, then it's Li Min, the king of Shu, or Li Ke, the king of Wu, hmph. They They have been coveting the throne for a long time, but the non-dizi are just unwilling, now that the father is trapped, they are seeing the opportunity."
"Nonsense, the king of Shu is defending against the southern barbarians in the south, and the news of your father's siege just came, how could the king of Shu and the king of Wu know!" Empress Changsun scolded, "And, if Li Yin wants the throne, Why use such despicable methods. With Yizhou's army, why not directly enter Chang'an and seize the throne."
Li Tai was speechless for a moment. After pausing for a while, he said: "If he really doesn't have the heart to covet, why didn't he send troops north to support the emperor? I heard that Nanman has already been defeated by him."
Li Yin went to support Li Shimin, in order to prevent the news from leaking, very few people knew about it. Empress Changsun naturally didn't know about it either. When Li Tai said this, she also became suspicious. She never thought that Li Yin's Yizhou army would have such a powerful combat force, the Nanban's army of hundreds of thousands. It was just that he was defeated within a month. It stands to reason that it has been more than a month since the news of the defeat of Nanman came. Li Yin can definitely send troops to support Li Shimin. But now she hadn't heard a word of it. From the bottom of her heart, she believes that Li Yin will not do this, but at the same time, the cruelty of fighting for the throne makes her have to doubt that if Li Yin really takes advantage of the chaos to seize Chang'an, it will be easy and no one can stop it. Don't make wild guesses until the truth comes out, you should take care of your wounds." Empress Zhangsun was a little confused, son, Li Zhi is now in Yizhou, if Li Yin has bad thoughts, what should she do?
Empress Changsun's pale face fell into Li Tai's eyes, which made him a little unbearable. This speculation even surprised him. If Li Yin really wants to fight for the throne, it is impossible to say that Yizhou's army is marching towards Chang'an at this time. While he was sleeping, a guard hurried in and said, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is here!"
"Prince!" Li Tai and Empress Changsun looked at each other, wondering why the prince came here at this time.
"Hmph, I guess I'm here to see if I'm dead?" Li Tai said sarcastically.
In response, the guards turned and left. After a while, Li Chengqian, who was wearing a light yellow gown, walked in. Seeing that Empress Changsun was also in the room, Li Chengqian was a little surprised, and said: "My son, see the queen mother!"
"Mianli, Prince, are you also here to visit King Wei?" Empress Changsun said, Li Tai was still lying on the bed with a stinky face, ignoring Li Chengqian at all.
Li Chengqian said: "My son hurried over when he heard that King Wei was assassinated. Now that my father is trapped in Huaiyuan City, my son, as the crown prince, also fulfills the duty of supervising the country, so I must come to see it."
The word "supervising the country" fell into Li Tai's ears, and Li Tai's face became more and more ugly. With the responsibility of supervising the country, Li Chengqian could naturally ascend to the throne. Said: "Thank you, brother Prince, for your concern. I just suffered a small injury and I can't die!"
"Li Tai!" Empress Changsun said solemnly.
Li Chengqian smiled lightly, and said: "I understand that Shiro must be suspecting that I arranged an assassin, but I can swear that this matter is definitely not instigated by me." Li Chengqian said firmly, "Besides, as the prince, I inherit The throne is a matter of course, so why use such a dishonorable means of a villain." When Li Chengqian mentioned the word "villain", Li Chengqian deliberately strengthened his tone.
Li Chengqian disregarded himself, and at the same time satirized Li Tai's villainous behavior last year, which made Li Tai's face even more ugly, but Li Chengqian was so sure that he didn't do it, Li Tai had to overthrow his guess again, He thought for a while, and blurted out: "Could it be that Li Ke or Li Yin really did it!"
"I thought the same way, so when this incident happened, I hurried over to prevent our brothers from fighting and end up taking advantage of others." Li Chengqian said.
Empress Changsun heard the words and said: "Okay, you all don't make random guesses, Li Yin will not rebel, and when the truth is found out, everything will naturally come to light. Today, the two of you are here, I will tell you clearly, Now that the Tang Dynasty is facing an unprecedented crisis, if you disregard the overall situation and make troubles in Chang'an City, I will definitely not forgive you two lightly." In the end, Empress Changsun still chose to trust Li Yin, because Li Yin was not behind the scenes A man with a knife, he wants the throne, so why take advantage of this time to imprison Li Shimin when he is in Yizhou, let alone send that kind of powerful artillery.
"Yes, Queen Mother!" The two said at the same time, they understand that Changsun Wuji is the most powerful in Chang'an City now, and Changsun Wuji basically obeys his younger sister's words, without the support of Queen Changsun, none of them can ascend to the throne , This is also the reason why Li Tai went to seek the mercy of Empress Changsun as soon as he was assassinated.
Because of the intervention of Empress Changsun, the assassination of Li Tai was quickly suppressed, and the surface of Chang'an City returned to calm.
After Li Yin from Yizhou got the news of Li Tai's assassination, he thought that Chang'an was about to start another brother-in-law drama, but he didn't expect that there would be no sound after that. He analyzed it and thought that it must be the empress Changsun who gave them a warning. , This made the two people stop calculating each other. Thinking of this, Li Yin couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. If Empress Changsun died of illness in Zhenguan ten years like in history, these two people would have fought at this time. See Empress Changsun had a great influence on the course of history.
Although the good show can't be seen, Li Yin thinks that this may not be a bad thing. The real problem now is Jieli and Xue Yantuo. The northern army will also not be able to get food and grass supplies due to internal strife in Chang'an. After all, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are doing these things. They are busy fighting, so how can they care about the life and death of the northern army...
In Huaiyuan City, Li Shimin looked a little haggard. Everything was planned, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly betray because of his obsession. The people who came here lost their minds, but the Turkic army took advantage of this time to surround Huaiyuan City with troops, and attacked Huaiyuan City violently, as if they wanted to break through the city in one go. If it weren't for the guards wearing plate armor The defense is strong, and the city is estimated to have been breached at this time.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go!" When Li Shimin was annoyed, Yan Si's voice came. )
