Chapter five hundred and ninety-one killing the son and passing on the younger brother in vain

"stop...!"

Amid the sound of horses running in the formation, a soldier's loud shouting sounded, but although the soldier had already shouted loudly, the other party's horse seemed to have no intention of stopping.

Because the people riding on the backs of these horses are the children of some prominent families of the imperial court.

In ancient times, the hierarchy was still very strict. The children of prominent families would not treat ordinary people as humans. Riding horses like this in Chang'an City could easily hurt the people.

But this group of children of the prestigious clan who had privileges had no scruples at all.

In the past, as long as you rushed past the soldiers in front of you, you could run away and laugh and leave. But today, when the children of this prominent clan felt a little different, just when they didn't care about the soldier's orders and continued to rush forward on horseback.

Suddenly, another voice sounded.

"The warning has passed, the archer is ready to shoot...!"

Just when the children of the prominent clans just showed laughter and wanted to rush past the group of soldiers as before, the group of soldiers suddenly appeared from the back row, and the output was made to him.

I don’t even give you time to stop and interrogate again, just a round of bows and arrows. What’s even more terrifying is that these rounds of bows and arrows are not to scare you, but to really want your life.

"Puff...!Puff...!Puff...!Puff...!Puff...!Puff...!"

The sound of arrows entering the body was endless, followed by the sound of people falling from the horse's back. At this time, all the horses stopped moving forward. An uninjured young man shouted to the group of soldiers in front of him: "You are looking for death, dare to use bows and arrows in Chang'an. Do you know who we are? We are from the Zhou family. Our Zhou family has second-rank officials in the court. We want to submit a statement. You will die, all of them will die. Do you dare to say your names?"

At this moment, a man in armor walked out and looked at the group of people lying on the ground screaming and said slightly: "My name is Li Zhi, the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the General of the Hu Ben Guard. Of course, I am still training in the new army. My current identity is the generals of the Hu Ben Guard Division, one regiment, one battalion and one row of generals... You are riding horses and running wildly in Chang'an City, and you have violated the Tang Dynasty's laws. Then, when I warned you, no one responded, but continued to violate the law, and the subsequent punishment of my punishment for you.

But don't worry... you will receive careful treatment. Of course, you also have the right to express it. However, you'd better go to the Ministry of Justice to be punished by yourself after receiving treatment, otherwise, no matter where you hide, the punishment will definitely follow you."

"You...you...you are the Hu Benwei?"

At this time, the children of the prominent clan finally became scared... because they knew that the Hu Ben Guard had finished his military training for three months and now he began to take over the patrol work in Chang'an City. These Hu Ben Guards were selfless and had a very tough backstage. Among them, their general was Li You, King of Qi, and Li Zhi, King of Jin.

There are also many children of important officials of the court who are among them. Don’t mess with the Hu Ben Guard. At least now, as long as they are right in Chang'an, you will not be able to frame them.

The people in front of them did not expect that they had just returned to Chang'an and met the Hu Ben Guard. They were originally coming to Chang'an to run for the son-in-law and returned to the Chang'an University. Now they are all going to jail. Even if they finish jail and know their crimes, they will definitely have no future.

Thinking of this, a group of prominent children lowered their heads bitterly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Zhi had reported everything to Li Shimin today. After listening to these reports, Li Shimin showed a gratified expression on his lips and said, "Okay... Zhinu finally looks like an emperor... By the way, how did you investigate Li You's affairs? Are there any other armed forces outside him?

Zhang Jing...I can't entrust him to do these things. After all, there is a sister between him and Li You. It's not that I don't believe him, I just don't want to be in case."

After hearing this, Yang Qu raised his head and showed his smile. He thought in his mind that every time Li Heng met him, he would call Grandpa Yang intimately, Quan Zhixi, Shao Yiyi, Cui Xiuniang, etc.... He would salute and call Mr. Yang when he saw him.

Xiao Yan'er even rubbed her legs after knowing that her legs were numb.

Thinking of this, Yang Qu said without hesitation: "Please rest assured by Your Majesty. I have been monitoring the King of Qi. There is absolutely no other armed force around the King of Qi except what we know."

"Okay..." Yang Qu's affirmation made Li Shimin smile: "It's best, you'd better send some people around Li You. These people should always be able to monitor Li You and not give him the opportunity to act rashly."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured..." Yang Qu bowed.

At this time, Li Shimin sighed: "I have no second choice anymore. Now I can only ensure that Zhinu grows up. Now I have the only choice."

He said such words because the idiot Li Tai finally said something that made him lose the position of crown prince. This is a very stupid thing, very unlike what King Li Tai of Wei said, but the fact is what he said.

This matter is also blamed by Li You, because Li You brought Li Zhi to Li Tai to put more and more pressure on him. This pressure made Li Tai feel a little breathless, which was a pressure that Li Chengqian had never given before.

The position of the prince was clearly in front of him, but Li Tai still couldn't catch him, which made Li Tai feel very depressed. On a very ordinary day, Li Tai went into the palace to see Li Shimin.

During this period, Li Tai would go to the palace to contact his father almost every day. Today is a very common day because Li Tai knew that as long as he showed enough filial piety, Li Shimin would pass on the position of crown prince to him. After all, Li Shimin had already made a verbal promise.

The father and son stayed happily for a while, playing chess and reading books. What made Li Tai frown slightly was that Li Shimin had been talking about Li Zhi's changes during this period.

What made Li Tai even more shocked was that Li Shimin even said that Li Zhi was becoming more and more like him. You must know that Li Shimin only said Li Ke, Yingguo is like me, but Li Ke is not afraid, and Li Ke will never be the emperor.

Because Li Ke's bloodline is too mixed, but Li Zhi is different. You should know that Li Zhi's bloodline is not mixed. Like him, he is also the legitimate son of Li Shimin. If Li Shimin's mind changes, then he will be done. At this moment, Li Tai was a little unable to sit still. He remembered that if he wanted something when he was young, he could get it by just acting coquettishly with his father. He felt that he would no longer sit still and take the initiative to attack.

So Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin tentatively and asked: "Father, is your promise still valid?"

This promise of course refers to Li Shimin's promise that he would make Li Tai the crown prince. Li Tai's words stunned Li Shimin on the other side. After thinking about it, Li Shimin still expressed his concerns to his favorite fat son.

It turned out that in order to seize the throne, he cruelly killed his brothers, and had been living in guilt and regret for so many years. Especially when he saw his sons taking risks for the throne, he was afraid that history would happen again. He had more than a dozen sons. If the fight really started in the end, it would definitely be more tragic than the killing of his brothers and his brothers back then.

That's why Li Shimin was so shaky.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai didn't know if he had a wrong mind. He immediately felt that this matter was easy to solve, so he immediately shouted: "If the father makes me the crown prince, I will kill all my sons in the future and pass the throne to my younger brother!"

Then he plunged into Li Shimin's arms and became coquettish. Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then asked subconsciously: "You have eight or nine younger brothers, which younger brother do you want to pass on to in a hundred years?"

Li Tai replied happily: "Father, I will pass the throne to the ninth brother, Li Zhi, King Jin, do you think it's good?" Then he threw himself into Li Shimin's arms and acted coquettishly. When Li Shimin heard this, he was very moved... He hugged Li Tai directly and agreed to make Li Tai the crown prince.

The next day, Li Shimin discussed with his ministers: "Chengqian rebelled and committed suicide. The King of Wei promised me that as long as he was made the crown prince, he would kill his son and pass it to the King of Jin in the future. I was very moved and agreed to him."

As soon as Li Shimin said this, all the ministers were shocked. What was shocked was not to make Li Tai the crown prince, but to make Li Tai promised Li Shimin that he would "kill his son and pass on his brother in the future" in order to become the crown prince. Even if he passed it to his younger brother, no emperor has ever done such a killing of his son in ancient times. This is just Li Tai's lie.

Changsun Wuji heard this and said, "Your Majesty, you cannot believe what the King of Wei says. If you believe, the King of Jin and other princes will be in danger!" Before Li Shimin woke up, he said, "The King of Wei promised me that he would pass the throne to the King of Jin in the future. I don't think he would do this."

At this moment, the minister Chu Suiliang stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty, it's too unreasonable for the King of Wei to say this. How can a younger brother have a son? If he dares to kill his son, let alone his younger brother? Please ask the emperor to properly resettle the King of Jin."

This point suddenly reached the key point, yes, which one is a relative of the younger brother or son, can be chosen by a fool. Li Tai is obviously lying.

Li Shimin's face changed drastically, and he finally woke up in his heart.

There was something unhappy between Chu Suiliang and Li Tai. Before Li Chengqian was deposed, Li Shimin received the "Guodizhi" edited by Li Tai and was like a treasure, and rewarded Li Tai with a large amount of money and property, which even exceeded the specifications of Prince Li Chengqian.

This made Chu Suiliang have to submit a memorial and advise. However, Li Shimin did not reduce Li Tai's expenses, but only canceled the prince's expense restrictions. Chu Shunliang was demoted. Although he was promoted later, he was still not so happy. This time he had the chance, Chu Shunliang would of course be trapped.
