On the fourth day of June in the ninth year of Wude, the Xuanwu Gate still happened!
Li Shimin killed his brothers, and entered the room with a sharp sword, forcing Li Yuan to make a choice. If Li Yuan questioned him, Li Shimin would certainly not sit still. From Li Yuan's point of view, there is no choice but Li Shimin to inherit the throne.
Li Kuan's heart suddenly tightened, and the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Palace became very depressing. Everyone dared not breathe a breath. The rattling atmosphere disappeared under Li Yuan's retreat, his tight fists stretched out, his body leaned back slightly, and squinted. With eyes closed, a faint voice came: "King Qin stays, everyone else will withdraw!"
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs glanced at Li Shimin, and saw him nodded. Then everyone bowed and exited the Taiji Palace. Even the two father-in-laws beside Li Yuan left together. There were only three grandparents in the huge Taiji Palace. Li Kuan did not Sit aside with a little noise.
"The matter is a foregone conclusion, I will not pursue it anymore, let it pass by the past!" Li Yuanduan sat on the dragon chair, staring at Li Shimin below, solemnly said: "I am tired and exhausted, this You will take over the position!"
A glimmer of joy flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and was quickly hidden by him. He has become the best candidate for the heir to the throne. Even if it reveals it, Li Yuan dare not do anything to him. However, Li Shimin knew that if he really did that, it would have a very bad impact on his ascension to the throne in the future.
"However, you must agree to three conditions when I abdicate!" Li Shimin listened earnestly. "The first condition: put down the butcher knife in his hand and shall not continue to kill innocent people, especially the sons of Jiancheng and Yuanji. You can demote them to common people, but Don't move the butcher knife anymore."
Li Shimin agreed without hesitation. Li Jiancheng and his heirs had been killed by himself at Xuanwumen. As for Li Yuanji's heir, Li Shimin, he did have the idea of being killed soon. Now that Li Yuan put forward such conditions, Li Shimin knew that Li Yuanji's sons did not pose any threat to his throne, so he naturally nodded and agreed.
"The second condition: On the day of your enthroned throne, at the time of universal celebrations, you will immediately issue an edict, summon the true person Miaoying hidden in Zhongnan Mountain to come to treat Kuan'er for the treatment of stubborn illness, and Kuan'er has been with me since then, unless I will never appear in front of the officials, nor will I interfere with the affairs of the court."
Li Kuan glared at Li Shimin angrily. Even though this person was his own father, he forced his grandfather so much that he had to renounce the throne. Li Kuan and Li Yuan have been together for nearly a year, and they have a good understanding of Li Yuan's thoughts.
As the founder of the Great Tang Empire, Li Yuan never hoped that the country he had laid down with his own hands would be ruined. For the stability of the country and society and the continuation of the throne, Li Shimin is currently the only candidate.
In Li Yuan’s mind, the most suitable person is not the king of Qin Li Shimin, but the prince Li Jiancheng, but he knows that the second son is ambitious, and the eldest son is more sentimental. The second son will surely suppress or even kill the eldest son and the fourth son. Up them.
Sure enough, the eldest son Li Jiancheng and the fourth son Li Yuanji still couldn't escape the fate of death, and Li Yuan's heart was already dead. If he doesn't give up the throne and meets Li Shimin all day long, he will have a picture of the tragic death of his two sons and heirs.
Li Kuan was immersed in his own world. He didn't listen to the third condition between Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and naturally he didn't know what the last condition was. But judging from the results, Li Shimin agreed.
"Get out!"
Li Shimin bowed and retired. He didn't even look at Li Kuan before leaving. He seemed to have never had this son in his heart. Li Kuan looked at his back with an unpleasant color on his face, muttering to himself: "In your heart , What am I?" New Bayi Chinese website first published
Li Shimin's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd, Li Yuan's bloodless face showed a bitter smile, and he was forcibly enduring the grief in his heart. The moist eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. The pain of losing his son made him hurt in his bones, looking at Li Kuan. With concerned eyes, he smiled reluctantly, without saying anything.
Li Kuan looked at Li Yuan worriedly. He was really worried that he could not bear such a blow, and his body collapsed suddenly. Li Yuan’s mood at this time can be imagined. Li Kuan was very sensible and silent. He quietly accompanied Li Yuan. The two father-in-laws who had gone out did not know when they both returned to Li Yuan and leaned to the side. Full of worry.

At this time, the huge Tai Chi Hall was completely silent. Li Kuan and the two father-in-laws all looked at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan’s mind was the eldest son Li Jiancheng, the fourth son Li Yuanji, the second son Li Shimin, and the third son Li Xuanba. There are also days when the wife Dou was there.
At that time, he was not the emperor, but only the garrison general of the Sui Dynasty. The family enjoyed themselves well. When the Dou family was still alive, the four brothers got along with each other and had deep brotherhood. It was not until the 9th year of Daye that Dou passed away due to illness. After experiencing the pain of losing his wife, his third son Li Xuanba passed away due to illness the following year.
Under the brutal rule of Emperor Yang of Sui, large-scale riots broke out across the country. Li Yuan complied with the fate of his life, and finally won the throne and established the Tang Empire. After enthroned and proclaimed emperor, the harmonious relationship between the three sons also changed.
Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji lived in harmony, but Qin Wang Li Shimin did not join them, and had always had the ambition to become emperor. Li Yuan saw all these in his eyes. He wanted to ease the relationship between his sons, but he didn't want to get more and more stiff and fights repeatedly.
If Li Yuan did not allow his development and directly declared that Prince Li Jiancheng was the best heir to the throne, perhaps there would not be today's tragedy. There is no regret medicine in the world, and even if Li Yuan regrets not at the beginning, the matter has to admit his fate.
Recalling the many things in the past, Li Yuan was very sad, and tears quietly left two marks on his face. Li Kuan and the two father-in-laws were anxious in their eyes, they didn't know how to speak, and now it was not their turn to tell them about this matter, so they had to quietly accompany them.
"Kuan'er, let me ask you!" Li Yuan stared at Li Kuan intently, and said seriously: "If it is between relatives and the throne, how would you choose?"
"Family!" Li Kuan's non-thinking answer made Li Yuan dumbfounded. Before he could ask further, Li Kuan took the initiative to answer: "Family is irreplaceable. The throne is nothing but a foreign object. Life or death will not take it away, and no personal freedom will be taken. No, everything is in the big picture, it's really boring!"
Li Yuan was a little amused when he heard this, "Who do you want to be, Kuan'er?"
"With endless money, accompanied by beautiful women, life is unfettered, free and easy!" Li Kuan answered directly, Li Yuan's sad face finally showed a smile, and he laughed, even the two of them. The father-in-law also pursed his lips and chuckled. (End of this chapter)
