"Father, Chang 'an is not peaceful, and the Imperial Palace is not peaceful. This is all my fault for coveting it!”
"The world is peaceful and doesn't need your son anymore. If your son is still alive, he will be an evil flood dragon that stirs up the wind and rain. His ending will inevitably be miserable and he will have to bear a bad reputation after death.”
"Your son does not wish to do so. I would rather commit suicide in front of Imperial Father in order to leave a clean name in future generations.”
He was really going to slit his throat!
"Stop! You…what are you doing!"
Li Yuan rushed forward and snatched the sword from Li Shiming's hand, throwing it on the ground.
With a clang, the Qingfeng sword fell to the ground, and Li Shimin also prostrated on the ground, crying bitterly!
"Erlang, you…Aiya, when did father want you to die?”
Li Yuan helped Li Shi Min up, he was shocked and anxious as he said,
"You have made great contributions to the Great Tang and are the leader of the meritorious officials. How can you commit suicide?”
"If you commit suicide, how will the future generations write about me? Are you saying that I am a cold and heartless father who forced my son to die?”
Li Shi Min stopped crying and sat down on the soft couch with Li Yuan's help.
Li Yuan sighed and ordered,
The chamberlain quickly handed over a hot towel soaked in hot water and was about to wipe Li Shimin's face when he was stopped by Li Yuan.
"Zhen will come personally."
Li Yuan wrung the towel dry and wiped the tears off Li Shiming's face. He also wiped the blood off his neck.
"It's just a little cut. It's not a big deal.”
he said softly, like a kind old father.
"Thank you, Imperial Father."
He was afraid that when he saw his father's loving gaze, he would not be able to harden his heart later!
"You are always so impulsive…"
Li Yuan complained,
"Isn't it because of Zhangsun Wuji? He was detained by Chen 'er. Although he accused you of bribing him, this matter was still his assumption. Why are you so angry that you came to me to seek death?”
"Look, his memorial to the throne is still with me, I just read it!”
He pointed at the memorial on the table, feeling a little helpless.
After what Li Shi Min had done, his anger dissipated.
He had always admired and doted on his second son, who had a strong personality and strong abilities. Otherwise, why would he let him serve as the Minister of State and the General of Heavenly Strategy, and even give him the power to establish a government and establish a small imperial court?
He was indeed angry with Li Shi Min, but not to the point of killing his own son. He couldn't bear to see his own son die in front of him.
Therefore, he was really anxious when he did that.
"Imperial Father, your son has already made up his mind to die."
Li Shi Min was silent for a while, then suddenly cupped his hands and said,
"Since Imperial Father can't bear to see this subject die in front of you, then this subject will go home and commit suicide by taking poison.”
"In that case, your son only has himself to blame. It has nothing to do with anyone!”
Li Yuan was speechless.
"Shut up!"
He ordered angrily,
"Erlang, what are you thinking?”
"Is there anything that you can't talk to me about? Why do you have to kill yourself?”
"There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. I am the ruler of a country and your father. If you have something to say in your heart, say it.!”
He had to give in to this stubborn donkey. He was really afraid that he would take things too hard and commit suicide by taking poison. What should he do?
As a father, wouldn't he be heartbroken to death?
Li Shi Min raised his head slightly.
His eyes were still red, and his fists were slightly clenched. He said in a low and emotional voice,
"Since Imperial Father has already said so, then this official…since I'm not afraid of death, I'll tell Imperial Father everything that has been in my heart all these years.”
"After saying this, even if I die, it will be worth it.”
Li Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded."Tell me."
It was good that she was willing to say it, it was good that she said it…
"Imperial Father…since the founding of the Great Tang, your son has been fighting wars from the south to the north, pacifying Longxi, conquering Luoyang, and pacifying Youzhou. And internally, your son has also made concessions in every possible way, giving up the position of Crown Prince several times.”
Li Shi Min clenched his fists and whispered,
"For the sake of the imperial court and the country, your son endured humiliation and compromised, but what did he get in return?”
"In exchange, the Eastern Palace is closing in on your son step by step! You want to kill me! The last time big brother invited me to drink, the wine was poisoned and made me vomit several liters of blood, almost dying in the Yellow Springs!”
He suddenly burst into tears, and for a moment, he could not make a sound!
"Erlang, don't cry. All these years…it's been hard on you.”
Li Yuan's heart softened, and he couldn't help but comfort her,
"As for the poison in the Eastern Palace…Father can assure you that Jiancheng did not do it.”
Li Yuan was speechless.
Li Yuan was silent. Li Shi Min laughed bitterly and said,
"Forget about these things. Your son won't fight for the throne anymore, but father…you even transferred your son's left and right arms away from your son!”
Li Yuan was speechless.
He fell silent again.
Therefore, he didn't know how to answer Li Shi Ming.
Li Shi Min said excitedly,
"On the fifth day of the sixth month, Fourth Brother will take all of your son's belongings to the border. Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin…these are good generals who are good at fighting and have made great contributions to the Great Tang, but they can't die on the battlefield and will die at the hands of King Qi…how aggrieved!”
"The only one left is my brother-in-law, Zhangsun Wuji…"
"But today…today! Big brother even set up my only brother-in-law and tortured him in a cage, making your son truly a loner with no family!”
"Your son has already predicted that after the fifth of the sixth month, the Eastern Palace will definitely attack your son. At that time, what will your son rely on?”
"Haha, hahaha…I, Li Shi Min, would rather die on the battlefield than be forced to die by my own brothers!”
He stood up shakily and wanted to find the Qingfeng sword again, wanting to end his aggrieved life!
At this moment, his will to die was extremely strong. It made people believe that he was going to seek death!
"Erlang, it's not like that!"
Li Yuan shouted and kicked the broken sword a few meters away.
