As time goes by, people will eventually change. There is no unchanging person in the world. Most people become more mature and steady under the washing of time, understand responsibility and know that life is not easy. Even if they are not good at it, they will at least strive to be harmless to society and not cause trouble to mankind.

Of course, there is another type of person who grows older but becomes worse and worse, which is a strong inverse comparison with his childhood intelligence and obedience. From a human point of view, it makes sense. After being a good child for too long, his expectations are higher and higher by his parents and elders, so the pressure on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, which makes people breathless. Therefore, in the process of growing up, I couldn't help but become curious about the word "bad" that parents and elders repeatedly told not to learn bad things. They really wanted to know what it feels like to be "bad", whether it can make elders less expectation and care more about themselves, or if they become bad, they can make themselves less tired and less stressed after they become bad.

Sometimes the reason for a good child becomes a bad child is that simple. If something happens in an ordinary family, it will at most cause disappointment from parents, the pain of the elders, and the unscrupulous trouble of the bad child. However, if this child who has learned bad is arrogant and will inherit the entire Eastern Palace prince in the future, and this prince still has little power, and a group of generals and soldiers who can fight for glory and wealth, then the harm caused by this bad child is much more serious than that of ordinary families.

Li Chengqian has seen the consequences of his own troubles. Countless heads fell to the ground, countless families fell apart overnight, countless women, elderly and weak, and countless children who had been growing up happily without worrying about food and clothing had to become official slaves who would never be spared.

Under a decree, the fate of countless people has been changed.

All of this was caused by a bad boy.

Li Shimin had countless enemies throughout his life. From the Sui Dynasty to the present, the territory of the Tang Dynasty became more and more and more enemies. Li Shimin had a broad mind and demeanor. He never took the enemy to heart. Any enemies that could not be resolved and that could not be forgiven for each other, then directly crushed them and let the enemy be reborn again.

But Li Shimin did not expect that the eldest son who he once loved and valued so much became his enemy, the kind that was irreconcilable.

This is the most painful thing for Li Shimin. If he was complacent about the title of "Tian Khan" in the past, and also a state of "I just like you hate me so much that I gritted my teeth but couldn't do anything to me", then until tonight, the betrayal of the eldest son finally shattered his proud shell.

Li Shimin once betrayed his relatives, not only betrayed him, but also killed his brothers. His elder brother was shot and killed by him in the Xuanwu Gate. His father was forced to abdicate and forced to abdicate. Everything he wanted was obtained. But tonight, he finally tasted what it felt like to be betrayed by his relatives. It turned out to be so painful, like thousands of arrows piercing his heart, and it was so painful. For a moment, he even felt completely disappointed and felt that his life had failed so much.

The betrayal of his relatives was finally wiped out, and the process was very easy. This was an immature rebellion. How could the rebellion plan discussed by several ineffective playboys? How could the ruling ministers who had experienced many battles and had been traitors? At this moment, the main culprit of the rebellion was kneeling in front of him, and Li Shimin still had all the life and death in the world, including the life and death of the main culprit. However... Li Shimin was still heartbroken, so painful that his breath was suffocated, and his heart was like a needle.

How to deal with your own son?

Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian, his expression changed rapidly, hesitated and tears flowed more and more.

"Chengqian, what do you want? I want power? I will give you the authority. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, I issued an edict to allow the Crown Prince to 'respond to the lawsuit', and said, 'If the Secretariat does not surrender, I will open the Eastern Palace to make Chengqian decide'. Every time I go on a personal tour, you will supervise the country and grant the right to make decisions at the moment... Want money and goods? Last year, I issued an edict that the Crown Prince should not restrict the treasury. The Crown Prince will use the treasury without limiting it. 'I want beauty? In recent years, your Eastern Palace officials under the guise of the Tian family have collected all over the world. In Yongzhou around Chang'an City, there are no less than a hundred beauties presented to you a year. Not to mention so many beauties entering your Eastern Palace, you are still fishing and raising male favorites. The male favorite named "Shexin" has been favored by you in recent years. Whenever the Censor impeached me, I turn a blind eye..."

Li Shimin sighed: "Power, money, sex, and everything in the world is nothing more than this. Chengqian, I have given everything you want. I am the common ruler of the world. I can afford whatever you want. I just want you to be upright, learn the words of sages and the arts of emperors, and inherit this country without any worries in the future. But you... want what you want but don't come to seek your father's rebellion!"

Li Chengqian lowered his head and cried, "My son... I just want my life. Father, to this day, it doesn't matter if my son says something. My father loved me and favored me in his early years. I am deeply grateful to my father's kindness and often think about repaying it. However, since the nine years after Zhenguan, why did my father's favor to King Tai of Wei become more and more favored? At that time, my son was still a conscientious and diligent prince who had never done anything to disappoint the father's emperor. The father's favor to him became more and more favored, which attracted the discussion of the subjects of the court and the country, and the position of the prince gradually became unstable. My son had to force him at that time. In order to maintain the position of the Eastern Palace, he fought with King Tai of Wei and gradually changed his mind..."

"Father, since the country is mine, why do you favor the King of Wei so much? The father might as well ask himself that in recent years, the royal palaces, chariots, horses, ceremonial guards, land grants, etc., all of them exceeded the etiquette system, and even the ceremonial guards were side by side with the sons. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other old ministers repeatedly advised him, saying that the father's reward was very heavy, and he might cause turmoil among the savages. Father, have you ever accepted the advice? The father favored him and gave him a reward without thinking. Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever thought about it, the prestige of the prince of the sons weakened, and the sons hated you and Li Tai even more! You ask me why I became like this, Father, I will tell you the answer, I was forced to be like this by you and the people of the world!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt as if he was beaten by thunder. He stared at Li Chengqian who was crying. For a moment, he felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and he was dizzy and almost fell down.

"In the ninth year of Zhenguan, your mother, Empress Changsun, passed away. King Tai of Wei often cried in front of me about the pain of losing her mother. His body has always been bad. Every time he cried, he would feel short of breath and chest tightness, and his limbs were twitching. In addition, he was diligent and studious since he was a child. I was very happy and pity for him, so I often gave him a gift of forgetting. I know that you are dissatisfied, but in fact I did it on purpose, so that you knew the crisis and did not dare to slack off. I didn't expect you to hate me so much..." Li Shimin's cheeks were twisted in pain.

Li Chengqian cried and said, "Since my father likes him so much, he has been appointed as the crown prince in the first year of Zhenguan. My son's minister can save his life and be a free prince for life. Why do you shake your thoughts after enthroning me? My son's minister has been crowned me for more than ten years and is deposed once, how can I survive? My father has a thought, have you ever thought about my son's life?"

Li Shimin said angrily, "No matter what, you shouldn't rebel! If you had already explained these words to me, how could I not know the pros and cons? Tonight you do such a big rebellious thing, and after dawn, everyone will know it. Even if I am the emperor, I will definitely not be able to suppress such a big thing. How do you teach me how to forgive you?"

Li Chengqian smiled sadly and said, "The moment the son of my son has been in charge, I will never have the desire to survive. This way of death will be better than being killed by the new king in the future after being deposed. ... Father, my son of my son has nothing to say. I have let my father down and the world over the years. My son of my son only wants to die and ask my father to deal with it."

Li Shimin was crying and staring at him deeply, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance deeply into his bones.

After a while, Li Shimin suddenly turned around, raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, but his tone suddenly became as cold as ice.

"A man came to pass the imperial edict and wrote the Ministry of Rites of the Shangshu Province to draft the "Edict of the Abolishing the Crown Prince."

Behind him, Li Chengqian smiled relievedly and knelt down at Li Shimin.

"My son thanks my father for his kindness."

Li Shimin's cheeks twisted in pain. The pain in his heart at this moment was that he was the arrow shot at his elder brother in Xuanwu Gate!

The autumn rain has stopped all night.

The sky was already bright, and the hazy dawn was projecting in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. Inside and outside the streets, there were broken limbs and broken arms, and corpses were everywhere. Countless soldiers were moving the corpses, constantly moving these former robes onto ox carts, and ox carts quickly transported the corpses out of the city.

The officials of each yard commanded their soap servants, fetching water to wash the blood in the streets and alleys, and teams of rebels were tied up and strung into a line by long ropes. Under the escort of the soldiers, they walked towards the temporary prisoner camp outside the city. The people who were destroyed during the fierce battle overnight also mixed up mud, carried bricks and tiles, and repaired inch by inch...

Everything is being restored, and we strive to restore the appearance of yesterday.

But the human heart can never be repaired.

This is a battle of internal friction, with each having casualties and the outcome has been decided.

As soon as dawn was dawn, a rapid-paced bell suddenly rang on the bell tower on the city entrance of Chengtianmen of Tai Chi Palace.

As if the sign of an appointment was made, all the eunuchs in Chang'an City suddenly opened the door. The court officials wore various court uniforms and gathered towards the Tai Chi Palace, just like the daily court meeting, with calm expressions and steady steps.

On Chang'an Street, the officials and soap servants were still working hard to wash away the blood on the road. Every step the courtiers took was stepping on the bluestone bricks mixed with rain and blood, leaving behind shocking blood footprints, like a history of deep suffering.

Fortunately, the rain stopped.
