"Are you really unwilling to take action to treat the blue bird?"
Li Shimin spoke with difficulty. This was the last chance he gave Li Kuan. In his opinion, it didn’t matter to Li Kuan. Li Kuan is already a fledgling boy. After several years of ups and downs and forbearance, his wings are already abundant. He didn't care about Li Shimin's attitude at all.
"I'm not a saint!"
Li Kuan stopped and didn’t turn his head back. The concise and concise words summed up his thoughts. He couldn’t take a shot to cure someone who wanted to take his life, even if there was a half-similar blood relationship on that person, Li Kuan still did it. If you don’t repay your grievances with morality, even if you use morals to complain Li Tai will be grateful or not, it is still unknown that Li Kuan cannot do thankless things, just like the empress of the eldest-grandson who was imprisoned when she was critically ill. His son was buried with his wife, which is rarely heard in ancient and modern times.
In Li Shimin's mind, the living son of Li Kuan is not as important as the deceased queen. Whenever I think of it, it is like a throat, and there is an inexplicable flame burning in Li Kuan's heart, and the father-son relationship between the two exists in name only, and completely breaks.
"Is the blue bird's illness related to you?"
Li Shimin finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart after a turn. He believed what Li Tai said, but did not fully believe that the matter had nothing to do with Li Kuan. Li Shimin didn’t ask, and Li Kuan wouldn’t talk about it. The gulf has not bottomed out. If it continues, I really don’t know what the future will be like. Li Shimin gave up the idea of forcing Li Kuan to take care of Li Tai, and turned to seek. Li Kuan answered his questions.
"From the moment you believed in Li Tai, the answer is already in your heart?" Li Kuan still didn't look back, and said flatly: "If you believe me, then you won't take a series of actions to force you. I submit, but there is no evidence, right? I just jumped to conclusions without knowing what is right or wrong. You Mingjun is nothing more than that."
Li Shimin's complexion turned red, obviously stimulated by Li Kuan's sarcasm, and he forbeared the anger in his heart, saying word by word: "Yes or not?"
"I said no, would you believe it?" Li Kuan turned and looked at Li Shimin's eyes. The moment he said this, Li Shimin's eyes flinched, and Li Kuan laughed mockingly: "Sure enough! Since you want to know the answer, Then I tell you, as for believe it or not, it's up to you."
"In fact, Li Tai's illness was originally part of my plan, which is also the crucial key. But I still ignored Li Tai's position in your mind, so that your intervention completely disrupted my plan. So I decided to advance."
"However, your son is very keen and clever. He deliberately induced you, a doting father, to pour cold water on me, and you also know the truth of the matter. You don’t hesitate to believe his instigation and conduct a series of actions on me. Blow."
"Now his consequences can only be said to be self-inflicted, no one can blame anyone. By the way, if you really hate, you should hate you, the father who dotes on him. It is your unconditional love that makes him arrogant and scheming, even better than Your father is still cruel, but it's a pity that he didn't do very cleanly. I knew it, and because of his partiality and selfishness, he wanted to save his life, and he ended up like this in order to return to the capital."
Li Shimin was furious upon hearing this. He was skeptical of Li Kuan's words, looked at him intently, and said uncertainly: "So it has nothing to do with you?"
"Yes or no, don't you know how to check it yourself?" Li Kuan mocked, "After all, he is your most beloved son. He may be reluctant to bear it. It is also human nature. No matter how you say you, the emperor is also a mortal. It's inevitable. If you count his illness on me, I don't care, anyway, there is nothing worth remembering here."
Li Kuan glanced at Li Shimin in a daze, then turned around and walked out. Li Daliang and others had already stood up to guard against Li Kuan's sudden move. At this time, Li Daliang had secretly dispatched a thousand-man imperial guard to directly encircle Li Kuan.
"You stop me?" Li Kuan looked at Li Daliang with a smile. Li Daliang didn’t dare to let go. He still didn’t mean to let him go. Li Kuan surrounded Li Kuan as before. Seeing that Li Daliang had decided, Wei Wei He smiled and said: "Anyone must bear the consequences for what they do!"
As soon as the voice fell, before Li Daliang could react, Li Kuan took the lead in launching an offensive, and he did not hesitate to kill outside the Taiji Hall. Even though the enemy has a thousand-man imprisoned guard, but Li Kuan's skill is vigorous and unsparing in his shots, all the violent emotions in his heart are vented, and the sad Li Daliang becomes a bag of anger.
In the blink of an eye, Li Kuan knocked down several people and grabbed the guard's sabre. Raising the knife was a massacre, but instead of taking the lives of people, he bled them. Suddenly, the swordsmen and soldiers outside the Taiji Hall made piercing clashes and the screams of everyone.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon couch, finally woke up and hurriedly walked out. Seeing what happened made him a little bit stunned, his heart was shocked. Li Kuan was not afraid of facing the Thousand Guards by himself. Not only was he easy to do, but he was also able to see the opportunity to defeat the Guards. If Li Kuan hadn't left his hands, perhaps the guards hit by him would have become corpses.
"give up!"
Li Shimin was very angry again. He did not expect that Li Kuan would be slaughtered in the Taiji Hall in front of him. The stone steps outside the hall were full of blood. Li Kuan's face was relaxed and comfortable. On the other hand, Li Daliang was also badly injured. , But he resisted the pain in his body, gritted his teeth and didn't shout.
"Yo, good willpower!"
Li Kuan admired Li Daliang’s endurance, walked up to Li Daliang with a smile, and immediately kicked over. The powerful force made Li Daliang finally let out a cry, Li Shimin’s voice made the Guards stop, and Li Kuan also He chose to stop, but he didn't stop Li Daliang, but instead focused on taking care of the other party.
"Don't think that the general can contend with me. If there are not many people, you can rely on you and me one-on-one. You don't have the qualifications." Li Kuan stared directly at Li Daliang, who felt a chill in his heart because he believed What Li Kuan said is true. He is indeed not an opponent. Li Kuan retracted his gaze and glanced at Li Shimin again, and said faintly: "Now believe that I was not a bluff!"
The saber in Li Kuan's hand was thrown in front of Li Shimin, and he walked away calmly and unhurriedly. The back view at that moment made everyone present shudder. Until then, they knew why the people of the Xue Yantuo tribe would flee after hearing Li Kuan's prestige, because his title was really killed.
When Li Shimin was shocked, there was infinite sadness in his heart. He ordered people to clean the blood stains outside the Taiji Hall. He also spread the edict that Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou and others immediately entered the palace. Everyone entered the palace non-stop, they also heard something about Li Kuan, and they were more certain that Li Kuan would never become a prince.
"I decided to make the nine sons of Jin Wang Li Zhi the crown prince. I don't know what the officials think?"
Li Shimin's straightforward words shocked everyone, and then everyone agreed, and Changsun Wuji was even more ecstatic. Since then, on November 26, the 17th year of Zhenguan, the edict of the Crown Prince Hitachi was once again spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. (End of this chapter)
