Chapter 709 The cruelty of the truth

?"Father--"Li Ke's voice surprised the ministers.

Then, they saw Changsun Wuji commanding four eunuchs, carrying a sedan chair without a roof, appearing in front of the Tai Chi Hall.

On the sedan chair, Li Shimin sat upright and looked at Li Ke with sharp eyes.

At this moment, Li Ke's body turned cold. He suddenly felt that no matter how brave he was, he still could not show his domineeringness in front of Li Shimin.

"Li Ke, do you dare to rebel? Why don't you dismount and surrender quickly?" Changsun Wuji roared with a ferocious face.

"Father--" Li Ke shouted again, but Li Shimin still didn't say anything, just stared at him in a daze.

Suddenly, Li Ke smiled and said, "He smiled happily and unrestrainedly."

"Changsun Wuji - you are so shameless - you dare to be so arrogant when you reach this point -" Li Ke cursed, urging the war horse to slowly walk towards Changsun Wuji.

When Changsun Wuji saw that Li Ke was not scared by Li Shimin, his face became more and more ferocious.

"Li Ke—If the emperor was not so ill, would you be today?" Changsun Wuji roared, "If we insisted on killing you, would you still be today? - You have nothing - I regret it when I was the first one-"

"Hmph——" Li Ke said coldly, "Changsun Wuji, death is coming, just say whatever you have in your heart-"

"You really want to hear it, right?" Changsun Wuji laughed wildly.

"Yes--" Li Ke looked at Changsun Wuji coldly.

"When Concubine Yang was pregnant, we all advised the emperor not to keep you, but the emperor did not listen to us-" Changsun Wuji said, "You just escaped once after you were pregnant-do you know, this is why no one of the old generals of the Qin Prince's Mansion could follow you. Because, they all wanted to murder you at the beginning-"

"Changsun Wuji, do you want to rebel against me and all the ministers?" Li Ke said fiercely.

"Do you think it's necessary?" Changsun Wuji asked, "Look at yourself, who is close to you? Chai Shao, the person he followed was Emperor Gaozu; Li Jing, he was also the general in front of Emperor Gaozu, and King Rencheng, he was also the person in front of Emperor Gaozu. Is there an old general of the Qin Palace who is very close to you?"

After Changsun Wuji said this, Li Ke thought carefully and said that it was really the case. Li Ke didn't say anything, and waited for Changsun Wuji to continue speaking.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Ke and continued, "When you were born, the generals found your boy, and everyone suggested that the emperor could not keep you, but at this time, Yang Fei suddenly said that Yang Guang had left a large number of treasures in Yangzhou. As long as you could keep your peace, she would give it. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was fighting against the princes in all directions, and the money and food were very tight, so everyone believed her and no one mentioned that she wanted to kill you."

Changsun Wuji paused for a moment and continued, "But, I just don't believe it. How could Yang Guang leave treasures? How could he give them to Concubine Yang? So, I discussed with several ministers and we wanted to find out the secret of treasures. However, the emperor seemed to have discovered our actions at that time and sent someone to investigate the whereabouts of treasures--"

"Haha-Do you know why you were chased when you returned to Chang'an?" Changsun Wuji said coldly. "Because, at that time, we had already confirmed that the treasure Yang Fei said was fake, and it did not exist at all. So, when we ascend the throne of the emperor, you sent someone to assassinate you on the way back to Chang'an. But you have a great life and still escaped."

"However, I am still unwilling to give up. I want to find out the lie about the treasure that Concubine Yang said, that is, I want to kill you openly. So, I sent people to search for evidence, but the emperor is still protecting you. He had known that Yang Fei's treasure was fake. In order to protect you, the emperor not only did not be angry with Concubine Yang, but deliberately protected you. He sent a large number of people to protect the treasure. The secret that it was fake-" Changsun Wuji said hatefully, "If we insisted on giving advice to death, would you still be today?"

"Are you finished talking?" Li Ke smiled. He smiled happily, brightly, and cruelly.

Because the truth is always cruel, he believes that what Changsun Wuji said is all the truth.

Although Yang Fei told him the secret of the treasure after he became stronger, she did not tell him that the fake treasure was to protect him. Li Shimin was also deliberately concealing the truth of the fake treasure, with the purpose of protecting him.

"But - you have achieved today, I have no complaints. This is what you have achieved by yourself-" Changsun Wuji said, "I don't feel wronged at all. Judging from the deployment methods of Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang today, you have been deploying today's actions ten years ago. Ten years have you thought of ten years later, and I really admire you. Li Ke, you have spent ten years working hard to strengthen yourself and make yourself stronger. No one can do it except the emperor. You are worthy of being the emperor's son, the emperor's son who is deliberately protected and valued by the emperor-"

"But what I admire most is your power and wisdom. I thought I had planned carefully, but I didn't expect you to be more careful than I deployed." Changsun Wuji said to himself, "You are close to Li Tai and formed a three-legged situation in the court. You deliberately made Li Tai grow stronger to oppress Li Chengqian and let him live in your shadow. When I want to give up on him and find someone else, you will bring Li Zhi, who can be trained by me the most, will bring Li Zhi the most.

After I was surrounded by myself and sealed my husband's road, I could only support Li Chengqian desperately. However, what I was most surprised was that you seemed to have already seen that Li Chengqian and Hou Junji would rebel one day. So, when Hou Junji was very close to you, you deliberately distanced him from him and unknowingly pushed him to the crown prince Li Chengqian. At the beginning, I thought you were alienating Hou Junji just to be the emperor, but now I realized that you were considering today."

Li Ke didn't speak, and quietly looked at Changsun Wuji. The deployment of more than ten years has only resulted in today's implementation. Isn't it difficult for me to go through? Have I experienced happiness for more than ten years? Isn't I careful, and isn't the purpose for today?

Then Changsun Wuji continued, "You thought that Li Chengqian would rebel, so that you would dare to abandon outstanding talents like Meng Zhao and send him to the emperor. Meng Zhao's hands then sent a large number of elites from the Army Academy to the emperor. This time, if Li Chengqian had not intercepted the interception of the East Palace Liuzhi and let Li Xianzhong's army arrive, if Li Chengqian's hands were about to come forward, wouldn't the current throne be Li Zhi?"

"Changsun Wuji, why didn't you take advantage of Li Chengqian and Hou Junji?" Li Ke said coldly, "You took the opportunity to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang, just to create a chance for Hou Junji to contact Li Chengqian and encourage him to plot against rebellion. When you think about it, if you successfully plot against rebellion, you will still get the most out of your position in Li Chengqian's heart. If you fail, you can use this as an excuse to excuse yourself and leave everything clean. Do you think it's--"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji did not speak, Li Ke continued, "Didn't you see Hou Junji's unwillingness to be inferior to others? - But, you still misread Li Chengqian. You've misunderstood and compliments are all fake, and he is also using you. In fact, no one in this world wants to be merciless, and no one wants to be merciless if he wants to have power - do you think?"

Changsun Wuji still didn't say anything. Because, Li Ke was right, he did understand Hou Junji, but he didn't see Li Chengqian clearly.

"Changsun Wuji, just say anything else you have to say-" Li Ke said lightly, "You should know your fate-"

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything.

After a while, he spoke, "Bing Ning, is she still okay?"

Li Ke's body was shocked, "She is in Taiyuan, she has always lived a good life--"

"Actually, she is not my husband's adopted daughter, her husband's biological woman - I was afraid that his wife would be angry, so I concealed Bing Ning's life experience from her and also concealed her own life experience from her." Changsun Wuji said with a shameful look on his face.

"Are you useful to say these now?" Li Ke said hatefully, "Besides using her, how long have you treated her like a father--"

"..." Changsun Wuji didn't say anything.

After a while, he continued, "Take good care of Bing Ning—" After saying that, he closed his eyes and said nothing.

Li Ke ordered the ghost face rode forward and tied up Changsun Wuji.

At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly walked up to Li Ke in a dragon robe and knelt down, "Third brother, Zhinu doesn't want to be the emperor, the third brother - Zhinu misses you-"

Li Ke jumped off the horse and helped Li Zhi up and said with a smile, "Ninth brother, third brother knows that this is not your fault-"

The tied Changsun Wuji seemed to have guessed that Li Zhi would do this long ago, and he didn't say a word. On the other hand, Wei Zheng wanted to speak when Li Zhi knelt down to Li Ke, but when he heard Li Zhi's remarks, he swallowed the words to his mouth.

Li Ke walked to Li Shimin, knelt down with a "plop" and began to cry, "Father--you--" Li Ke didn't know what to say, and didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that because of his own, Li Shimin's fate did not continue the trajectory of history and went to another fork.

But he cried, and he cried very sadly.

Because, after what he said to Changsun Wuji just now, he deeply realized that Li Shimin's love for Li Ke and his love for himself. He is always protecting himself and always thinking about himself.

Li Ke wiped away his tears and said to himself, "Father, my son will do his best to cure your illness-"

At this time, Chen Qi, Pei Xinglian, Xue Rengui and other generals also walked to the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Ke shouted, "Wang Zhongchang, let Sun Simiao come to Chang'an and summon all the doctors from the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to Chang'an to treat his father--"

"No——" Wang Zhongchang ordered.

Hearing Li Ke's order, Wei Zheng was stunned, Li Daozong was stunned, and all the ministers were stunned.

After a while, Wei Zheng recovered from his senses and rushed forward to Li Ke, "Your Highness, the emperor cannot speak, he is unable to move, and the Southern King does not want to ascend the throne as emperor. I beg you to ascend the throne - to preside over the national affairs-"

"I beg your highness to ascend the throne - to preside over the national affairs-" the ministers shouted after Wei Zheng.

"We beg your highness to ascend the throne - to preside over the national affairs-" Chen Qi and other black-clad guard generals asked.

"We beg your highness to ascend the throne - to preside over the national affairs -" the Ghost Face Rider and the Eagle Guard shouted loudly. Please come to see if there is no advertisement for the first release.
