After many years, Li Kuan finally remembered the past, and Li Ke no longer concealed it, confessed to be lenient, and confessed the truth about drowning in the past.
Under the circumstances, Li Kuan came back from the dead, and Li Ke would never know the secret. Li Kuan before was dead, and Li Kuan now is not the one before. Many coincidences not only affected Li Kuan's own destiny, but also changed the trajectory of others.
"Chu King Kuan, Emperor Taizong also has two sons, and his birth mother is unknown. The five sons of Emperor Chu Wang Zhiyun are the heirs of Wude three years after the emperor. He is early, and has no children!" Suddenly Li Kuan thought about it, and this account appeared in his mind. Heirs who died early will not record the situation in detail, and they have almost done it in one stroke. There is no important deed and there is no need to waste pen and ink.
If he hadn't become Li Kuan, then this record would come true, and there would be no record of Li Kuan's drowning or other premature deaths. Born in the emperor’s house, unless it is a death caused by other circumstances, it will not be recorded, which can be regarded as a cover for the emperor’s family ugliness and protect the royal reputation.
The truth is not important. The most important thing is that Li Kuan is already dead. People die like a lamp, and everything in the past will not be held accountable. Now Li Kuan is pursuing the truth, only to use this as an opportunity to find out the deeds of his birth mother and the truth about the fact that his mother died in the harem due to dystocia.
"Yang Defei?"
Li Kuan secretly wrote down Li Ke’s biological mother. According to Li Ke’s speculation, his mother Yang’s death due to dystocia and those rumors are probably related to Concubine Yang De. Maybe it may involve other concubines, and the court has a power struggle. There are battles in the arena, even at home, not to mention the concubines in the harem, their struggle is even more sinister.
"The drowning incident was designed by you behind the scenes. Li Tai and the others were just pushing the boat, and it was an accident that I fell into the water." Li Kuan paused for a moment when he looked at Li Ke, and said: "We will expose the matter here, but if I follow it up, If the matter of my mother is related to Concubine Yang De, then the new and old accounts will be settled together."
Li Ke was silent and smiled helplessly. As a son of man, he did not dare to speculate on whether his mother Yang Defei was involved in the affairs of the year. Because he had never experienced what happened back then, he naturally didn't know the truth, so it is understandable that Li Kuan wanted to investigate.
"Next, let's count the thousands of soldiers on the battlefield in vain!" Li Kuan said with a stern voice, "There is nothing you want to fight for. I will not say anything if you design against me, but you have stepped on this matter. It touches my bottom line."
"Thousands of soldiers died in their lives. Strictly speaking, they died for me. They threw their heads and shed blood to serve Datang. It is not that they are incompetent or willing to die, but that they never dream of dying in their own people. Under his conspiracy."
"As King Wu, you are the current prince, and even the descendants of the Li family. They fight for our Li family, and are you worthy of them, and worthy of the ancestors? You want to fight for the crown prince, but you don’t Should you use this strategy, do you know how horribly the corpses of the war ran across the fields, blood flowed into rivers, and the corpses piled up into mountains?"
Li Kuan was embarrassed and did not dare to look directly at Li Kuan, and was even more silent in the face of Li Kuan's questions. It was not that he did not refute but that he did something that was infuriating between humans and gods. Blinded his mind because of the fight for position, let him embark on a path of no return.
"Li You conspired to conquer the world. Although he was defeated, he was brave enough to take responsibility and mistakes, but how does your noble King Wu bear this blood debt? They also have relatives waiting for their triumphant return. How much did you break up as a result of doing this? In the family, how many orphans and widows are there, and how many white-haired people give away black-haired people?"
"I will enter the palace and confess everything to the emperor!" Li Ke was not bad, but he was too obsessed with power struggles and kept hiding behind the scenes to point the country. He thought he was winning but didn't want to capsize in the gutter and made a big mistake.
Li Ke is the biological mother and the princess of the former Sui family, and the biological father is the current emperor. Among many princes, the only pure bloodline is Li Yan, the king of Shu, like him. No one else can compare. The arrogance in his bones is Li Ke's character and his flaw.
"How easy is it to die. Once you die, you can wash away your sins?"
Li Kuan sneered, how could he not see that Li Ke wanted to die. Because he committed a capital crime, if he really tells the truth, he will undoubtedly die. As the current emperor, Li Shimin is the most taboo of the army fighting in the front, and there are people in the rear who want to undermine his own general. This is a big taboo.
"Then what do you want?" Li Ke asked bitterly.
Li Kuan sneered: "If I really want you to die, I will explain everything to my father on the day I return to Beijing. Not only you but also a few of them can't escape the blame. But I didn't tell my father, and my father Although knowing some is not all."
"Father knows?" Li Ke was shocked.
"Do you really think that the emperor does not know anything?" Li Kuan sneered, "Our emperor is a famous saint. What can we hide from him? Since the emperor will leave this matter to me, I will advance After returning to Beijing, without leaving home, I was thinking about how to deal with you so that you could atone for what you did!"
Li Ke wondered what Li Kuan wanted to do. He didn't allow himself to apologize with death. Could there be a more terrifying way of atonement than death? Li Ke didn't believe it, but waited for Li Kuan's words with his ears erected, and Li Kuankang said forcefully: "I want you to go to Yanran to protect the prefecture, unless you have an edict, you must not leave this place for five years."
Li Ke took a breath, and held back the anger in his heart. He hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and replied: "I promise you!"
For people who are obsessed with power struggles, the cruelest way is to let him leave the core of power completely. Although Li Ke was defeated in the battle for position, he had to withdraw from the fight. However, he still stayed in the capital city, the city of power, and he was still immersed in power by hearing and seeing.
Li Kuan’s words were neither a request nor a request, but an order. Li Ke pondered for a long time before he had to agree. It was nothing more than seeing the killing intent in Li Kuan’s eyes. As long as he dared to refuse or violate the power, Li Kuan would definitely use the most powerful force to cut off all the power in his hands, including being demoted. It is possible for the common people.
Now Li Kuan is full of wings, and some of the former officials of the Central Government are standing by his side resolutely. Even without these people, with his current influence, there are definitely a thousand ways to let himself go. Rather than leave in embarrassment, it's better to leave by yourself, and to save yourself a little face.
When fighting for the crown prince, Li Ke was defeated by two forces and had to retreat. He may have never served as a captain and left the capital. This time Li Kuan ordered him to go to the Yanran Protector House, saying that the white point was to keep him completely away from the major affairs of the government and to guard himself for the rest of his life.
Li Ke also knew that he had to do it when he agreed. Not only did he need to let go of his obsessions, but he had to let go of the forces that had worked hard for many years, leaving behind all his family members and leaving, it was equivalent to exile in Yanran's Protector House. In short, he was Li. He was lenient in protecting this land for the dead soldiers in Yanran Duhu Mansion for five years. (End of this chapter)
