Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 143 The Imperial Palace
"I must do everything I can...do everything I can...to embrace the position of His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Your Majesty also ordered His Royal Highness the First Prince to be in charge of the large county with 30 to [-] people in the north of Chang'an City alone. Obviously... Excuse me, the old minister, it is obviously being cultivated as the heir. How can people not be suspicious?"

"His Majesty's reward to His Highness the First Prince is obviously beyond the identity and status that a young man should have. Moreover, His Highness the First Prince is only a doctor. Although those unique insights in the court are beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, But it is obviously not enough for a young child who is not as good as a weak crown to obtain the status of the eldest prince."

"Even if the general didn't know the truth at that time, he would inevitably doubt the identity of His Royal Highness the First Prince!"

Li Er's heart tightened suddenly, his eyes were a little distracted, and his face was full of annoyance: "Oh... I... I just want to pay back what I owe Ze'er, what's wrong?"

"I never thought that this... actually indirectly harmed Ze'er!"

"Ugh!"

Li Er shook his sleeves angrily, and angrily fixed his gaze on the ground, where Hou Junji had stood just now.

"Right now... I'm afraid His Majesty must add some eyeliner. If the General Hou really finds out the identity of His Highness the First Prince, he will definitely do everything possible... Excuse me for talking too much... Your Highness the First Prince may encounter disaster!"

"And... the old minister ventured to speculate that the assassination of His Royal Highness the First Prince, I dare not say that it was done by General Hou, but it is very likely that it has something to do with Hou Jianjun!"

"Your Majesty, you must be cautious in the future!" Du Ruhui bowed deeply to Li Er very sincerely, and poured out all his thoughts in his heart with the same anxiety.

After hearing this, Li Er immediately stepped over the court case, and solemnly helped Du Ruhui up: "Ruhui...with you by my side, it's like a fish in water, like Emperor Zhaolie's crouching dragon!"

"However, none of the killers who assassinated Ze'er the day before yesterday survived, and almost all of the dead were killed by one blow. Ze'er must have some means of self-defense, but after all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, but you say... how can I be here again?" How about protecting Ze'er without being discovered by others?"

"Besides, if Ze'er's identity is exposed, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that those around Chengqian will definitely try their best to unite with their party members, and deal with Ze'er..."

"I really don't want to see my son fratricide!"

Li Er was extremely annoyed, tears welled up in his eyes, and beat his head hard.

Thinking of brother-in-law killing, Li Er thought of the Xuanwumen incident he caused a few years ago. If these incidents happened between his sons at once, what would the Supreme Emperor think?What do the officials in the court think?What do the people think?
As a father, he killed his brother and imprisoned his father...

Li Er seemed to have thought of Li Chengqian, who was red-eyed, leading his troops to besiege Chang'an, killing Ze'er, and imprisoning himself, just like he imprisoned the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan back then...

Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but start to twitch violently in his heart. After all, the palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. After all, Ze'er and Cheng Qian were both his children.

If Nianchun hadn't met this doctor, or hadn't realized that this doctor was his child, that would be great!

But if there was no Ze'er, wouldn't Guanyin's servant girl perish in Chang'an...

Li Er could only feel his cheeks burning hot, and a few tears dripped from his chin to his lapel like scorching summer rain.

The luxurious dragon robe was also infected very badly.

Li Er, who seemed to be reflected, suddenly aged a bit.

Du Ruhui quickly comforted: "Your Majesty, please be at ease, let the old minister think of a way."

After finishing speaking, Du Ruhui stroked his gray beard, and paced around the imperial study in the same tangled state as Li Er.

Li Er, on the other hand, slumped on the imperial case, completely disregarding his image. At this moment, he was just an ordinary old father.

In order to prevent the two children from fighting over the family property, the worried old father.

On the face full of gullies, the turbid tears are like the Yellow River in the rainstorm season, washing out a messy ocean on the dry river bed, with dark clouds above the head, heavy panting and choking, like bundles of storms sweeping the melancholy rain, constantly It slapped the old father's extremely fragile heart at the moment.

But Du Ruhui seemed to be under the scorching sun of [-] or [-] degrees, wishing to share his majesty's worries, he raised his hands and saw that he was as anxious as porridge boiled, thick and about to overflow.

Every step looks extremely impatient, but it seems so hesitant and hesitant.

"Your Majesty... the old minister thinks that even if General Hou knows the identity of His Highness the First Prince, he will definitely not easily announce the news to the public in a short time."

"And now the identity of His Highness the First Prince, the old minister's speculation is most likely just the speculation in the mind of General Hou, and has not been confirmed."

Du Ruhui's deeply sunken eyes suddenly shone with a shrewd light, bent over and stood in front of Li Er and said: "General Hou betrothed his daughter to His Highness the Crown Prince, just for the purpose of gaining great power and high position in the future. "

"However, those famous and prestigious families are still very important in the court, and if His Royal Highness is crowned, they must be a big threat. General Hou will definitely find ways to weaken the power of those families. Now the best The method is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, I am afraid that he will not threaten the life of His Highness the First Prince for a while."

After hearing what Du Ruhui said, Li Er excitedly grabbed Du Ruhui's thin arm and asked hurriedly: "Ruhui, what can you do?"

Du Ruhui frowned, and said in a very conflicted manner: "Right now, officials of all sizes in the court are temporarily focusing on the matter of Tubo, and will not pay too much attention to His Highness the First Prince for the time being."

"There is still a lot of time. General Hou will definitely wait. After all, General Hou is more afraid of you, Your Majesty. If he acts rashly without authorization, His Majesty will blame him. We still have to wait for the opportunity this time."

"Now General Hou pins his hopes on His Highness the Crown Prince, mainly from General Hou's daughter, but His Majesty has not made it clear yet that if His Majesty personally chooses a good time, you will bestow the Hou family as the Crown Prince and Concubine. eyes and ears of others."

"And if General Hou is only speculating about the identity of His Highness the First Prince, doing so will most likely make General Hou no longer suspicious."

After hearing this, Li Er hurriedly wiped away his tears. At this time, Li Er was so emaciated that he didn't look like a king at all, and he said in a vague way: "Oh! If it's dark, you still have a meticulous mind, and everything is done according to your It's up to you to do what you say, this is an auspicious time for you to decide, just let me know when the time comes!"

"It is the honor of this old minister to share your worries for His Majesty, and I will definitely do my best!" Du Ruhui bowed to Li Eryi very cautiously, and then helped Li Eryi to walk towards the Ganlu Hall: "Your Majesty, go back and rest, old minister." It is Fang Shangshu and the eldest grandson who discuss and discuss."

"Okay, okay!" Li Eryi was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he held Du Ruhui's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "I am honored to have you!"

"On behalf of Avalokitesvara and Ze'er, I thank Duke Du and Fang Gong. I thank you all!"
