Chapter 921 Li Tai's visit
Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji had just come out of Tai Chi Hall, but they received an invitation from Li Chengqian. It seems that Li Chengqian should have known about this, but it is not surprising. After all, as the crown prince, Li Chengqian also has many confidants in the court. Not to mention anything else, Li Chengqian's expectant father-in-law Su Jian ran away when he went to court just now, probably to report to Li Chengqian.
"Let's go, the prince will definitely not feel good. We can comfort him even if we go!" Li Xiu immediately said to Changsun Wuji. He was also angry now. He was worried that Li Chengqian would have psychological problems due to his disability. As a result, now that Li Shimin has come, he may not be able to stand it even if he is generous.
"This... OK!" Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. However, his performance made Li Xiu frown slightly. He was not sure whether Li Shimin had ever had the idea of Yi Chu, but Changsun Wuji's attitude towards Li Chengqian seemed to have changed.
In fact, in the original history, Changsun Wuji's attitude towards Li Chengqian was very subtle. When Li Chengqian was still a wise prince, Changsun Wuji, as his uncle, naturally supported him very much. However, when Li Chengqian began to become violent, conceited, and even finally rebelled, Changsun Wuji became very indifferent and never helped Li Chengqian again. He even deliberately kept a distance from Li Chengqian. Now it seems that Changsun Wuji is likely to repeat his old path in history.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and at the same time, a sense of powerlessness that was once familiar in his heart surged in his heart. Just like when he could not stop Li Shimin from fighting with Li Jiancheng, he now felt that he could not change Li Chengqian's fate at all.
The East Palace is a little far from Tai Chi Palace. Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji simply got on the carriage and walked straight into the East Palace before getting off the carriage. When they came to the bedroom where Li Chengqian lived, they found that many people had already come here. When they saw them, they saluted one after another, including Li Chengqian's expectant father-in-law Su Dan. It seemed that he had quickly integrated into his new role and bet on Li Chengqian.
Facing these ministers who bowed, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji also returned the greetings one after another, and then they stepped into the hall. When they turned the screen and saw Li Chengqian, they found that the other party was leaning on the bed with a sad face. When they saw Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji, they sighed with tears in their eyes: "Sir, uncle, is your father going to abolish me, the prince?"
"Crown Prince, don't think a lot. With my understanding of your father, he just didn't think carefully, so he made such a decision. And I and the prince-consort just discussed it, and I will definitely persuade your father to take back his life!" Changsun Wuji spoke first and comforted him.
"Brother Wuji is right. Chengqian, don't think too much. For you, the most important thing is to recover from your injuries with peace of mind. Your Majesty is just a moment of confusion and absolutely no intention to save it!" Li Xiu also spoke at this time. Although he knew that these words might be useless, he could not say anything except these.
"Haha, I don't know where Wude Hall is. Our family lived there before. Now my father asked my fourth brother to live in, but it is already self-evident. If I give up the position of prince without tact, I'm afraid I will follow my uncle's footsteps..."
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Li Chengqian was interrupted by Li Xiu before he finished speaking. Li Jiancheng has always been a taboo in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the palace, Li Jiancheng must not be mentioned. As Li Chengqian, as the son of Li Shimin, if someone knew that Li Jiancheng would be compared, he would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Seeing Li Xiu get angry, Li Chengqian also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and then lowered his head and said silently. At this time, Changsun Wuji also sighed and looked at Li Xiu. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
After a while, Li Chengqian slowly raised his head, but two lines of clear tears were already hanging on his face. Although Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji repeatedly assured that Li Shimin was unintentional, he did not think so. The so-called "no father is better than son" is the same as that.
"Sir, uncle, what should I do next?" Li Chengqian sobbed and spoke again. Although on the surface, he seemed to have a mature and steady attitude far beyond his peers, it was actually just his disguise as the prince. In fact, he was just a fifteen-year-old boy, especially Li Shimin has always regarded him as the closest person. Now what Li Shimin does makes him feel like he was betrayed, and he doesn't know how he should deal with it?
Seeing Li Chengqian's helpless appearance, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at each other. Then Li Xiu took the lead and said, "Chengqian, Brother Wuji and I discussed it just now. In the end, we all felt that the reason why Your Majesty let King Yue enter the palace was probably not intended. So I think you should not do anything now. Just watch the change is the best way to deal with it!"
"Yes, Prince, you really shouldn't do anything now, and the ministers outside must let them scatter. Don't surround the Eastern Palace like something big happened. As the saying goes, respond to changes in the same way, and my son-in-law and I will never let King Yue really move into the Wude Hall!" Changsun Wuji also nodded in agreement at this time.
Perhaps the words of Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji played a role, and Li Chengqian finally slowly regained his rationality at this time. He also followed Changsun Wuji's advice and immediately ordered someone to let the ministers outside the hall leave.
In fact, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji should not stay here for a long time, so they comforted Li Chengqian for a while and immediately stood up to say goodbye. However, when they left, Li Chengqian showed a bit of sadness. After all, this incident hurt him too much, and he was in need of comfort at this time, so naturally he didn't want Li Xiu and the others to leave.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, Li Xiu was supposed to go to the financial management supervisor to handle official duties, but today such a big thing happened, he had no intention of doing things at all, so he simply took a carriage home. On the way, he was thinking about what Li Shimin was going to do, but his mind hurt in the end, but he still couldn't figure it out.
After returning home, Li Xiu locked himself in the study room and kept his door closed. The house knew that something must have happened, so no one disturbed him. Even the lunch was delivered to the study room by Yuechan himself.
However, just in the afternoon, a servant suddenly came to report: "King of Yue Li Tai is here to visit!"
