As mentioned above, when Li Yuan heard that the second concubine had sued his second son, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and wanted to ** the second concubine, he was so angry that his eyes straightened, he screamed, and fainted. was rescued and awakened by the eunuch palace maid, and immediately decided to ascend to the palace to deal with Li Shimin, did Li Shimin escape this catastrophe?
Straight to the point. The thick and melodious sound of the bell echoed over Chang'an, waking up the people who were spitting on it. The courtiers all knew that this was a notice of the emperor's ascension to the palace. They quickly got up, freshened up, and hurried to the court.
The sky was hazy, and the red lights were flashing, gathering in front of the noon gate from all directions. The civil officials got off the sedan chair, the military generals dismounted, and saw each other, and then they formed groups of three or five, whispering. However, no one can guess what is the most important thing to solve.
In an instant, the tall palace gate opened.
The courtiers were automatically divided into two rows and arranged at the foot of the hall according to the size of the official rank, and the level of taste.
Li Yuan's face was pale, panting, in order to maintain the majesty of the Son of Heaven, Li Yuan tried his best to control his emotions and said calmly:
Xuan Li Shimin went to the temple. ”
Obey the order. Li Shimin stepped out of class, shook his robe, and fell crisply on the danqi.
Li Yuan looked down at Li Shimin, and at this moment, he felt extremely disgusted in his heart. Thinking of the incident reported by Yin and Zhang Erfei, he hated to arrest Li Shimin and tear it to pieces.
Son-in-law Li Shimin respectfully asks for St. Ann, may Your Majesty live long, long live, long live. ”
Li Yuan snorted and shouted slowly, "Shimin." ”
The son is here. "You were there last night? ”
Li Shimin was stunned:
Your Majesty, my son only went to the palace to greet his father, and then returned to the mansion and never went anywhere else. ”
Li Yuan stared at Li Shimin without moving, and suddenly asked, where is your jade belt? ”
This one. Li Shimin's body was shocked, and he subconsciously touched his waist.
Where is the jade belt I gave you? Well? ”
This one. Ah, I put it in the house. ”
Li Shimin looked extremely unnatural.
Li Yuan saw it in his eyes and was angry in his heart. Asked again
Is it really in your house? ”
Yes, Erchen remembers clearly. ”
Are you right? ”
Li Yuan raised his voice.
Can't be wrong, not mistaken. ”
Okay" Li Yuan squeezed out the word from between his teeth, stretched out his hand and took out the jade belt from the sleeve of his robe, and shook it at Li Shimin
Since you remember correctly, you are right, why did it fall into my hands? ”
This.?Li Yuan roared:
What the hell is going on? Quick start! ”
Li Shimin's eyes looked at the jade belt, his face was crimson, and the green tendons on his temples were straight, touching the extremely painful and difficult royal scandal last night.
But Li Shimin has been kept in the dark, and he never expected that those wicked people would sue first and beat him up. Therefore, when Li Yuan asked about the jade belt, in order not to expose his family ugliness, he made up a few white lies, and as a result, he fell into the abyss.
At this moment, he looked at the jade belt, his heart was rolling, although he didn't know what was happening, but from his father's unusual expression, he could conclude that there was a disaster waiting for him. "Say, you say! ”
Li Yuan's questioning voice was higher and higher.
The main hall was shaken, and all the civil and military officials were stunned. They don't understand why the emperor has such a big temper because of a small jade belt, and why the King of Qin, who has always been decisive and cheerful, is so spitting? They all stared at the emperor and the king of Qin with suspicious eyes.
Li Shimin didn't answer his father's question immediately, he was thinking about whether he should reveal the truth? What are the consequences of uncovering the truth? Under Li Yuan's repeated questioning, Li Shimin kowtowed and said
Please ask your father to be gracious, and the son wants to report to his father alone. ”
Li Yuan, who had a hot head, mistakenly thought that Li Shimin had done something ugly and it was inconvenient to talk about it. His anger was even greater, he sneered, gritted his teeth and said:
You don't have to be clever or talk about couplets. God knows, the earth knows, I know, you know, we don't have a good heart1".
Then, Li Yuanhuo stood up. Announced in public:
From now on, Li Shimin will be relieved of his military power and removed from all official positions! ”
He paused for a moment, then shouted again, "Where are the guards?" ”
Yes! The golden-armored warrior in military uniform agreed.
Li Yuan shouted loudly with a slap case:
Pull Li Shimin out and behead him! ”
Wronged! Li Shimin shouted.
Shut his mouth! Pull it out and kill! ”
The warriors complied, stuffed an egg-sized piece of chestnut wood into the mouth of the King of Qin, tied it up, and pushed it out.
