Chapter 1496: Li Chongyi was arrested by Li Shimin
The last words left his mouth.
Li Ke and Li You in the room were both stunned.
Li Ke didn't expect that Li Chengqian would actually say that he wanted to let Li You go at this time.
You know, it is certain that Li You wants to rebel and murder him.
Even Li You himself admitted it.
But Li Chengqian said he would let him go.
But after thinking about it carefully, Li Ke felt relieved.
Wasn't it the same for me once upon a time?
And he didn't really keep his word, forgave himself, and made himself his right-hand man.
Li Ke sighed and walked out of the room silently without saying anything.
Li Chengqian also followed and walked out.
At this time.
Li You was the only one left in the room.
He looked at the ground and did not move for a long time.
I don't know what is going on in my mind.
Outside the room.
Li Chengqian and Li Ke were walking on the path.
Li Ke spoke slowly: "I never understood why my father would be so determined to choose you as the crown prince."
"But what happened today..."
Li Ke looked back at the direction of the East Palace Study Room, shook his head and chuckled: "It made me understand a lot."
"Do you understand?"
Li Chengqian sneered: "You see clearly."
"Yes, I can see clearly."
The two brothers looked at each other, then both threw their heads up and laughed loudly.
Li Ke had secretly imagined more than once what the perfect heir in Li Shimin's eyes would look like.
But after thinking about it, this perfect heir could not escape the words Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin was a rebel emperor.
What he had in mind was actually very simple.
I just hope that my son can be a brother and sister and not follow his old path.
The premise for all this is that the successor he chooses must have a kind heart.
Of course, this kindness is kindness to brothers.
Starting from Li Tai, then to Li Ke, and now to Li You.
These people all wanted Li Chengqian's life at some point.
But how did Li Chengqian treat these people?
Give them opportunities again and again to change their ways.
Let them go again and again, saving them from death.
This alone was enough for Li Shimin to confirm his choice.
What's more, apart from that, Li Chengqian is excellent in every way.
You can lead troops to fight externally and win submission from all over the world.
Internally, we can also regulate the internal affairs, so that the civil and military officials can be convinced, so that the people can live comfortably.
With such people around, Li Ke really couldn't think of any reason why Li Shimin didn't support him with all his strength.
"but……"
Li Ke raised his own question: "If you just let him go, aren't you afraid that he will come back and cause trouble for you?"
As brothers who grew up together.
Li Ke still knows his fourth or fifth brother very well.
Li You didn't have a peaceful temper, and he didn't seem to have listened to Li Chengqian's words just now.
Therefore, if Li Chengqian let him go like this, he might cause trouble for himself.
Of course Li Chengqian knew it, but he didn't care.
"What is supposed to come will always come, and you can't hide even if you want to."
"But as a brother, we must give him the opportunity he deserves."
Li Chengqian stopped, looked up at the sky and said, "I also hope from the bottom of my heart that he will not make that choice."
"But everyone has their own ideas, and no one can control them."
"If he wants to rebel against me, there's nothing I can do..."
When Li Chengqian lowered his head, a coldness flashed in his eyes: "But your brother and I are not a vegetarian, let alone a ball of mud that can be manipulated by others."
The current Li Chengqian is not the same person as before.
It turns out that he relied on Li Shimin for everything.
But now, he already has his own
own power and influence that others cannot match.
As long as he gives the order, Li You will die without leaving anything behind.
Li Ke knew Li Chengqian's abilities very well.
Hearing what he said, Li Ke pursed his lips.
For a moment, Li Ke felt that he was stupid, especially the question he asked was so stupid.
Relying on his understanding of Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian never fights an unprepared battle.
The fact that he was able to say that to Li You today proved that he was fully prepared.
Maybe, Li You will be killed by Li Chengqian just as he prepares for rebellion.
After all, this guy never plays by the rules.
Just when Li Chengqian and Li Ke were walking and chatting.
Suddenly, a young eunuch stumbled towards the two of them.
Li Chengqian saw this and scolded him angrily: "How can you behave in such a panic that you are being chased by wolves?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, something serious has happened..."
The little eunuch lay prone on the ground, stumbling and saying: "Your Majesty asked someone to arrest General Li."
"General Lee?"
Li Tang Dynasty Li Tang Dynasty.
There were too many generals named Li in the Tang Dynasty.
How does he know which one Li Shimin caught?
Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "Which General Li?"
The little eunuch said quickly: "It's General Li Chongyi."
"Li Chongyi???"
Li Chengqian looked puzzled.
Li Chongyi was arrested by Li Shimin? Why did Li Shimin arrest him?
However, when he heard that something happened to Li Chongyi, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Speak slowly, what is going on? Why did my father arrest Li Chongyi?"
…
Manna Hall.
In the hall.
Li Shimin sat behind the desk, his face full of exhaustion.
Down the hall.
A group of ministers stood there.
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and even Li Xiaogong All are there.
Li Chongyi knelt in the hall with an expression of indescribable anger.
And this is what Li Chengqian saw after walking into Ganlu Hall.
Li Chengqian looked around and smiled dryly at Li Shimin: "My son, I pay my respects to my father..."
"Bye bye ass!"
Li Shimin slammed the table, pointed at Li Chongyi and shouted: "Look, this is the good general you promoted to me!"
Li Chengqian also shrank his neck when he was scolded.
He had already heard about what Li Chongyi had committed, which was corruption.
When Li Chengqian came back from Qinzhou.
The Ten Thousand People's Box in Chang'an City was a box set up by Li Shimin for people to report officials.
Li Chongyi's name appeared inexplicably.
Many people reported Li Chongyi's misconduct, corruption and bribery.
When I started seeing these letters.
Li Shimin was also puzzled.
Li Chongyi is his nephew, and he is also the prince of Hejian. Coupled with his relationship with Li Chengqian, the rewards from Suli are enough for him to have enough food and clothing. Why does he need corruption?
But Li Shimin had already said what he said, and the cutscenes that needed to be done had to go.
So Duan Zhixuan was sent to lead the Shenwu Army to investigate.
Who would have thought that Duan Zhixuan actually found a large amount of gold and silver treasures in Li Chongyi's yard.
Li Chongyi couldn't explain the reason, so he was arrested by Li Shimin.
"Damn it!"
Li Chengqian raised his leg and kicked Li Chongyi on the shoulder: "Tell me, what good things have you done? Accepting bribes privately, are you worthy of my trust in you?"
"I don't!"
Li Chongyi got up from the ground and said with an upright face: "I'm not short of money, and I don't like money either."
"You still dare to quibble?"
Li Chengqian stepped forward and kicked him again, saying, "Then how do you explain the money and goods found in your home?"
"I……"
"I don't know either."
Li Chongyi lowered his head like a defeated rooster: "I didn't even know what was in that warehouse..."
