Li Yuan didn't hold back at all and hit Li Shimin with one stick after another.
Although Li Yuan is old and frail, Li Shimin has also lived a life of dignity and dignity. How has he ever been beaten in so many years?
"Father, do you have anything to say?" Li Shimin shouted hurriedly.
"That's nonsense." Li Yuan seemed to want to vent all his resentment towards Li Shimin over the years at once.
Bang!
"Ahem~"
After all, Li Yuan was old. He exerted too much force and was too excited. He didn't even take a breath, and the stick fell directly from his hand.
"Father." Li Shimin supported Li Yuan, patted his back, and shouted: "Imperial doctor, please call the imperial doctor quickly."
"Ahem~ No~ No need." Li Yuan calmed down.
"Father, are you okay?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin who was close at hand with complex eyes and said: "Erlang, you have done a good job as an emperor."
"Father..."
Li Shimin trembled all over. Li Yuan had never called him like this since the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Li Yuan said to himself: "I have figured it out a few years ago. I don't blame you for what happened back then. It is all my fault. If I had been more decisive, I would not have let you brothers be intolerant."
If he had been more decisive at the beginning, nothing would have happened later.
Li Shimin was silent. Is it Li Yuan's fault?
He had thought about this issue over the years, and later he came to the conclusion that although Li Yuan had some responsibility, the biggest responsibility was not his.
The strange thing is that both he and Li Jiancheng were too good. In the process of fighting for the world, Li Jiancheng had great prestige among civil servants, and Li Shimin had great prestige among military generals.
Even if they don't want to fight, the people below will push them to fight.
In fact, the relationship between their brothers is very good.
Although there was a slight rift between the two because of the appointment of the crown prince, it was not to the point of incompatibility.
It was because of the fight between the people below that the rift between the two widened and finally reached that point.
Even if Li Shimin doesn't take action, he will still take action against Li Shimin when Li Jiancheng succeeds to the throne.
"But why did you kill them all and didn't even leave them a wife? They are all your nephews, and they have such a good relationship with you, how could you do it?" Li Yuan asked with a ferocious look on his face.
What he has never been able to let go of is that Li Shimin killed all the male heirs of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
In Li Shimin's mind, the scene of Li Jiancheng's children hugging his thighs and calling him uncle came to mind.
Li Jiancheng had a serious temperament. At that time, Li Shimin had a somewhat out-of-touch temperament and was very popular with his children.
Li Jiancheng's children loved playing with him the most.
Although those children did not die in his hands, they did so with his acquiescence.
Do you regret it?
Li Shimin had no regrets. At that time, there were many people in the world who supported Li Jiancheng. If he had left them behind, those people would have raised armies under their banner, which would have brought him a lot of trouble.
Leaving them behind to grow up in hatred is not a good thing for him or Datang.
Is it possible that Li Yuan can't understand this? It's just that he doesn't want to think about it.
…
Li Chengqian listened to Li Shimin's screams and said worriedly: "Is something going to happen?"
Lin Xuan said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, what could happen?"
"Let's go." Li Lizhi said.
She was worried that Li Shimin would be furious if they knew about his embarrassing things.
"have a look at."
Lin Xuan was so happy listening to this that he was not willing to leave.
Haha, Li Shimin, you have today too.
"Hey, why is there no movement?" Lin Xuan was a little surprised.
"What are you three doing here?"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind them.
"See the Queen Mother."
"See the Queen."
The three of them quickly turned around and saluted.
Queen Changsun looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Did you do this?"
"I don't know what the Queen is talking about." Lin Xuan said with a puzzled look.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Just wait and face His Majesty's wrath."
Lin Xuan flinched, but when he saw the smile on Queen Changsun's face, Lin Xuan felt relieved.
Since Queen Changsun can laugh, it seems that his prediction is correct.
"Mother, will something happen?" Li Li asked.
Empress Changsun waved her hand and said, "It's okay, just watch."
After a while, Li Shimin helped Li Yuan out.
Empress Changsun walked over, and Lin Xuan and the others quickly followed.
"I don't need your help. You are busy with your work. I will go back first." Li Yuan said.
Li Shimin glared at Lin Xuan and said to Li Chengqian: "Gao Ming and Li Zhi, I will send your grandpa back, and Lin Xuan will stay."
Li Yuan glared and said, "If you let him stay, who will play mahjong with me?"
"Yes, yes, let him play mahjong with his father." Li Shimin said quickly.
"Huh!" Li Yuan snorted coldly, and left with the support of Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi.
"Your Majesty, Queen, I have to leave first." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he quickly chased after her.
"Smelly boy!" Li Shimin cursed.
Queen Changsun asked with concern: "Is your Majesty okay?"
"It's okay." Li Shimin shook his head.
"Hiss~"
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Queen Changsun asked with concern.
Li Shimin said: "It's okay, it just involves a wound."
"Come here, call the imperial doctor quickly." Empress Changsun said quickly.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "No, just help me apply some medicine."
There are many people talking nonsense, and if word spreads, his face will be completely lost.
…
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will leave first." Lin Xuan said.
He thought about the way Li Shimin looked at him just now, and thought it would be better to escape first.
Li Yuan laughed and said, "Are you afraid?"
"Afraid? What am I afraid of? It's just almost noon, and I have to go home to have dinner with my parents." Lin Xuan raised his neck and said.
Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "Since you are not afraid, just stay and play mahjong with me."
"Your Majesty, I feel that mahjong is played by ordinary people, which is inconsistent with your status." Lin Xuan said.
Li Yuan looked at Lin Xuan and asked: "Then what do you think is suitable for me to play?"
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said: "I have a gadget called chess, which is very suitable for the Supreme Emperor to play."
"What's the difference between chess and Go? Is it more fun than mahjong?" Li Yuan asked.
Lin Xuan said: "It's much more fun than mahjong."
"Then let's play chess and let me see how fun it is." Li Yuan said.
Lin Xuan spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the chess piece has not been finished yet. I need to go back and do it."
Li Yuan looked at Lin Xuan and said: "I will see Xiangqi tomorrow. If not, I will stay at your house."
Stay at my house?
Lin Xuan was stunned, how could he stop making trouble?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will bring the chess set tomorrow." Lin Xuan promised, patting his chest.
There was no other way, he was afraid of Li Yuan's threats.
…
Empress Changsun looked at the injuries on Li Shimin's back and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, why don't you hide?"
"My father has always been angry. Let him give him a beating to relieve his anger." How could Li Shimin say that he had been deceived by Li Yuan.
Empress Changsun poured some medicinal wine on her hand and applied it carefully.
"Guanyin, you know, my father said that I am doing very well as an emperor. Haha." Li Shimin laughed.
He had worked diligently for so many years just to prove to Li Yuan that he was no worse than Li Jiancheng in governing the country.
Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty has done a very good job."
"That guy Lin Xuan did me a favor," Li Shimin said.
Queen Changsun asked: "Your Majesty, don't you blame him?"
Li Shimin said: "How is that possible? He actually dares to instigate my father to beat me. I must deal with him properly."
