Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

In fact, what Li Chengqian didn't know was that although Datang was indeed threatened by all parties, Li Shimin was not without the ability to resist.

He is also secretly accumulating strength and preparing to break this situation.

The previous attack on the Yang family was probably a test of Lingnan and Yang Hongyu.

He wanted to take advantage of the rare opportunity when the Great Zhou Dynasty was busy fighting foreign enemies to eradicate Lingnan, the biggest cancer behind him, and then use the power of the whole country to conquer the Great Zhou Dynasty, regain the lost territory, and unify the world.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to shrink the coastal defense and allow pirates to plunder freely along the coast, creating the illusion that the Tang Dynasty was declining and was no longer able to eliminate pirates, so as to confuse all parties.

However, Li Chengqian didn't know any of this.

After Li Shimin's series of roars, he was completely stunned.

He was not worried about the uncertain fate of the Tang Dynasty, nor did he want to share his father's worries.

What he is worried about now is that he cannot fulfill his promise with Cui Yingying and cannot marry the Cui family.

Then his position as the prince may not be guaranteed, and he may never be able to contact the center of power again, and he may never inherit the throne.

He can only be sent to a remote place in a poor country, and then die miserably alone.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's eyes were bloodshot, and he was no longer as energetic and confident as before.

He stared at Li Shimin, looking at him with malicious eyes.

This is the man who allowed himself to lose everything and failed to become the prince. He must die. This throne and this world must belong to him.

Seeing Li Chengqian looking at him with hateful eyes, Li Shimin felt chilled.

He glared at Li Chengqian and roared:

"Sir, what do you want to do!!!"

The sound was like a loud bell, making Li Chengqian's ears buzz.

It was this voice that woke him up.

Facing his father's eyes that were about to eat him alive, Li Chengqian was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground:

"Father, I didn't mean that. I was just carried away by emotion for a moment. I felt that I couldn't be with the one I loved. I felt miserable in my heart. I lost my mind for a moment. Please punish me."

Looking at Li Chengqian who was kneeling on the ground, shaking like chaff, Li Shimin's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his hand unconsciously reached out and picked up the sword beside him.

He never expected that when things got to this point, this rebellious son had not given up the idea of ​​​​marrying with the Cui family, and was still thinking about the girl from the Cui family.

Just when he was hesitating whether to stab the traitor to death with a sword, there was a noise outside.

Then, I heard Xiaolizi’s sharp voice:

"Queen, you can't go in. Your Majesty is discussing important matters with the Crown Prince and Mr. Wei..."

However, it seemed that this obstruction had no effect. With a bang, the palace door was pushed open, and then Li Shimin saw Empress Changsun walking in with a pale face.

"I have met Your Majesty. I have come to apologize to Your Majesty."

Queen Changsun knelt directly on the ground and looked at Li Shimin with sad eyes.

Being interrupted by Queen Changsun, the murderous intention in Li Shimin's heart slowly subsided.

With a livid face, he waved his hand to Xiao Lizi, who was standing uneasy at the side, telling him to get out.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not blame him, Xiao Lizi hurriedly wiped away the cold sweat, then turned and left.

Wei Zheng on the side saw such a good opportunity and immediately followed Xiao Lizi towards the door of the palace without saying a word.

Li Shimin snorted coldly when he saw this, but did not stop him.

After the others had retreated and the hall door was closed again, Li Shimin took three steps and two steps at a time, stepped forward to help Empress Changsun, and said reproachfully:

"Guanyin Maid, why are you here?"

Queen Changsun sighed:

"Your Majesty, such a big thing has happened, how can I pretend that I don't know about it?"

Li Shimin looked at the other party with a puzzled face:

"What happened? To make you so nervous, Queen?"

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Queen Changsun's expression froze and her eyes became wandering.

How should I answer Li Shimin's words?

Said that he heard a report from the palace people, saying that Wei Zheng, an old man, came to the emperor with evidence of the prince's crime?

Or are you saying that you know that the prince has entered the palace, and you, Li Shimin, are furious in the imperial study room and want to kill your relatives out of justice?

Seeing that Queen Changsun was silent, Li Shimin roughly guessed something.

He took a deep look at the closed palace door, let go of the hand supporting the other party, returned to the dragon chair, and climbed directly on it.

Then he said solemnly:

"Queen, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Knowing that her attitude made the emperor suspicious, Empress Changsun felt nervous and wanted to find an excuse to retreat. However, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Li Chengqian, who was kneeling on the ground, still shivering, and Li Chengqian, who was placed on the imperial case. The sword on his head suddenly made his heart tremble.

What is your Majesty doing?Could it be that he still wants to kill Gao Ming?

As the thought flashed through her mind, Queen Changsun's expression changed again and again, and finally she gritted her teeth and said:

"Erlang, Gao Ming is still young. He doesn't see things so clearly, so he will inevitably make some mistakes. I hope you can teach him well and let him change his ways."

Li Shimin was silent, his eyes wandering on the mother and son.

After a while, it was like a deflated rubber ball, slumped on the dragon chair.

"That's all, let's end today's matter. Gao Ming, I hope you understand that the Cui family is a giant python that is entrenched next to my Li family and can eat its owner at any time. Don't mention your marriage to the Cui family again in the future. , otherwise, I can spare you once, but I will never spare you a second time."

After speaking, he looked deeply at Queen Changsun and said:

"Queen, when you go back later, you can also help me persuade Gao Ming and ask him not to think about anything all day long."

"Since I can make him the crown prince, I have placed high hopes on him. I will never replace him because of trivial matters or uncertain factors."

"I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the king of a country. I keep my word. I hope you will behave accordingly."

After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled the two of them to leave.

Queen Changsun's heart dropped when she saw Li Shimin's attitude.

After giving Li Chengqian a fierce look, he saluted helplessly:

"If I know this, I will definitely educate you well. I hope your majesty will take care of your dragon body and don't cause any rift between you and your son because of such trivial matters."

Li Shimin did not answer Queen Changsun's words, but waved his hand impatiently again, with an expression of disgust on his face.

Seeing this, Queen Changsun sighed, took Li Chengqian's hand, and walked out of the palace.

However, not long after the two of them walked out, they saw a person walking towards them. It was none other than the honest Wang Gui of Li Tai, then King of Wei.

Seeing Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian coming out of the imperial study together, Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, and then he hurriedly saluted.
