The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable and worried, for fear that he would not get the answer he wanted.

He wanted to pass on the news, but Li Shimin seemed to be very serious about this matter, and even sent someone to guard his door, not just outside the East Palace.

Looking at the sky, Li Chengqian was depressed.

It's not that he doesn't have a dark hand, but after using it, he might tear himself apart with Li Shimin.

For example, Chen Muzhi, and other close candidates that Li Shimin hadn't thought of.

Although Chen Muzhi is a woman, it is precisely because of this that she is able to survive, and it is Li Shimin who showed her kindness.Li Chengqian knew why the other party favored him, but it was because of his title of "Prince".

In other words, she was also watching a good show, but she still hated Li Shimin after knowing the truth in her heart.

After all, he killed Li Yuanji, and Li Yuanji was her biological father. Although he had no feelings, Concubine Shu never taught her to hate.

But since she was born, she was different from other princes and princesses in the palace. Naturally, she later chose to abandon her identity and became a secret spy, living in the dark, watching the fate of others with a cold eye, and even became an executioner.

Chen Muzhi definitely has blood on her hands, she is indeed a strange woman, or rather cruel.

Even though Li Chengqian, Fang Yiai and the others were ruthless, they had a different kind of evil spirit from those who licked blood every day.

Chen Muzhi was more inclined towards the evil spirit.

Fang Yiai must have had a similar aura when he was on the battlefield, but it was war after all, so it was different.

Li Chengqian's mind was messed up and he was thinking wildly. He thought about Chen Muzhi only because he had some thoughts.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly sent out a signal, hoping that Chen Muzhi would receive the news and pass it to Fang Yiai for his attention.

……

Not to mention whether Chen Muzhi received the "news" from the prince, whether he had time to go to Fang Yiai's mansion to alert him, but Li Shimin went to Fang's mansion to meet Fang Yiai himself.

This gave him great face, but Li Shimin went very secretly, except for the dark guard and the eunuch beside him, he didn't let other people follow or know.

On the contrary, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji and other courtiers who were cautious and understood the emperor's character and methods secretly paid attention intentionally or unintentionally, but they did not dare to get too close to His Majesty the Emperor.

Saints are always saints, they can't bear the crime of spying on the emperor.

They are not willing to pay such a high price just because of the news about Fang Yi's love for this person.

When Li Shimin saw Fang Yi'ai and saw that Fang Yi'ai hadn't lost weight, his face immediately became angry.

The prince is "haggard" and sad, but this guy is resting here in a good way.

——It doesn't seem to be confined.

I saw a lot of fruits and snacks in front of Fang Yiai, half of which were eaten, although the ground would not be covered with scum, but the traces were still there, which made His Majesty annoyed.

"The food is delicious, isn't it?!" Li Shimin said coldly.

Fang Yiai frowned, and after saluting, he bowed his head to listen to the training.

In fact, this movement and posture are very familiar to Li Shimin.

When Fang Xuanling was alive, whenever Fang Yiai caused trouble, Xuanling would bring her son into the palace to plead guilty.At that time, Fang Yi'ai looked like this, especially when Princess Gao Yang complained, he even smiled playfully, flattering him and the princess.

But in a year or two, the world has changed...

Li Shimin sighed.

Not only did Fang Yiai and Gao Yang reconcile, Gao Yang also married someone else immediately.

Moreover, thinking of the ambiguous relationship between Fang Yiai and the prince, Li Shimin couldn't think about it anymore——

What's more, he and his cleverness are so... It's not a matter of changing things in the world. Li Shimin even thought that if Fang Yiai committed the crime of treason, he might be able to bypass it if the prince interceded.

But Fang Yiai and the prince "colluded into adultery". In Li Shimin's eyes, this is also shaking the country and killing people with soft knives—killing the prince and the future of Datang.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the angrier he became, and his heart, which was originally calm, jumped twice again.

The eunuch next to him hurriedly helped him to sit down, Li Shimin drank some plain water, not even daring to drink more tea, moistened his lips, and then said in a low voice: "Fang Yiai, it is I who bypassed you and the prince." How do you react to..."

This is the behavior and position of Wenfang Yiai after that.

Fang Yiai didn't fall for the trap, the prince seemed very determined, otherwise the emperor would not have visited his house.

Thinking that the position of His Highness the Crown Prince should be preserved, the emperor was reluctant to abolish the Crown Prince—Fang Yiai judged Li Shimin's thoughts.

This is different from the history, but Fang Yiai knows the so-called "historical records", not to mention that the male lead distinguishes the true from the false, but only one event that must be recorded correctly - the prince's rebellion.

But this time Li Chengqian did a good job, he didn't particularly resent Li Shimin because of his heart, and he didn't lose his mind. Involved in Du He's death...

Thinking of Du He, Fang Yiai still couldn't let go, but he had avenged most of his grievances, and the rest was the tragic death of Wei Wang Li Tai and Li Jingye.

After all, the appearance of Xiao Hehua's death was not good, and she was tortured so much before she died.The face he cared about the most was also destroyed, and it was hard to be buried in the ground.

Even Princess Chengyang didn't leave a queen for Du He...

Speaking of later generations, the sage suddenly asked the question he had asked in front of the prince, about Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai looked surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to ask this question.

But Li Shimin's face is full of seriousness and earnestness. Obviously, this question can determine his fate and the future of him and Prince Li Chengqian...

He lowered his hands and replied in a very reasonable tone: "Since we were together and confirmed our mutual intentions, I have made up my mind that I will never disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince, and will never be sorry for the Prince's love for me..."

He spoke in a soft voice, but not low-key, nor did he avoid the emperor's question.

Fang Yiai continued to express his feelings, and said the key point: "The sage—" He knelt down, willingly, not only from the courtiers to the emperor, but also from the juniors to the respected elders.

Li Shimin has small details, such as suspicion of the prince, control of power... and many other problems, but in general he is indeed a rare and wise king of a generation, not a high-ranking person who kills innocent people randomly.

Basically, he has done what he can do, and most of the time he is fair, and he loves the people like his own son - there is nothing gimmick about this.

He is kneeling now because of the prince Li Chengqian himself. After all, Li Shimin is his father. He and the prince are in love now, but they have not made a lifetime commitment. After the crisis of being "caught" that day, how will the prince treat this There is no need for confession and verbal narration of this feeling, Fang Yiai will understand it.

His heart really touched.

He originally felt good about Li Chengqian, and the happiness between the two of them was considered pleasant and compatible. He even thought that it would be good to just "date" for the rest of his life, and it would not affect other things between them. , the prince is still the prince, and will be the emperor in the future.

He didn't run away any more, the situation seemed to be favorable for the crown prince, as long as he didn't make any mistakes, Li Chengqian would ascend the throne smoothly, and Jin Wang Li Zhi wouldn't have any chance at all.

This is also the reason why he and the crown prince didn't attack Li Zhi, it was just more monitoring eyes.

Fortunately, Li Zhi himself is not like King Wei. As for King Jin’s little thoughts and small waves, they are all human nature, even cats, dogs and small animals, and their emotions cannot be fully controlled. .

So His Royal Highness didn't care, they did things step by step. Although Li Chengqian knew his fate, he walked steadily step by step, and sat firmly in the East Palace. Sometimes when faced with Li Shimin's temptations and power disputes, he felt angry or depressed, but It will not lead to the path of rebellion.

In particular, both of them knew that Li Shimin didn't have a good few years to live.

It seems that the saint's health is even worse now because of King Wei and the matter between him and the prince.

Fang Yiai felt a little guilty, and sometimes he himself felt helpless.When Du He died, he blamed Li Shimin very much, but this is also human nature.

After all, Li Tai was the emperor's own son, even if he really killed someone, as long as he didn't kill his parents or relatives, a father would probably not want his son to pay for it.

Fang Yiai's voice was very formal, and his words were powerful. He said in a deep voice: "...my heart towards His Royal Highness is also as clear as day and night, and will never change. It is because of the heirs that I am willing to live alone for the rest of my life. It has nothing to do with offering sacrifices to future generations."

In the eyes of Datang people, this is also an extremely serious promise.

Because it costs a lot.

——Even the common people should pay attention to the fact that there are people in front of the grave after death, burn some paper money for parents and grandparents, and burn some incense candles for offering sacrifices...

Fang Yiai's words left Li Shimin speechless.

He didn't expect that Fang Yiai's answer would be like this. He originally wanted to find an excuse to make the prince feel sad and disappointed after listening to Fang Yiai's lover. The prince will naturally forget this feeling...

The emperor thought about and calculated various processes and implementation methods, but he never expected that Fang Yi'ai's feelings for the prince would be so deep, that he would be willing to have no descendants, no women, no marriage....

The other party's words are extremely serious.

Li Shimin was still holding on to the last hope, and asked again: "Are you sure, Fang Jun?! Are you sure that you will only be the prince in this life, and you will never get close to any women...including men."

The emperor's last word changed a little, he wanted to confirm Fang Yiai's determination.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'm sure, I can do it. As long as the crown prince lives up to me, that's what it is." Fang Yiai looked meaningless, without any regrets.

When he looked serious, he didn't look like Fang Yiai himself at all.

It is simply possessed by other souls, most likely in love.

Li Shimin was full of hope when he came, but he was disappointed when he left.

But why is there always some complicated thoughts in my heart that the prince is right... Li Shimin shook his head, he didn't understand the things between them.

However, Fang Yiai passed the silent test, and Li Shimin could not kill him for the time being.

He could lie to the crown prince, but Li Shimin didn't care about his dignity as an emperor.

What's more, when he was sober, the prince would not have believed that Fang Yiai had betrayed him if he hadn't questioned what his old father said.

Li Shimin let them go for now.

He narrowed his eyes.

It's not like he didn't have feelings.

He has another method, time is the best weapon——

……

Soon the matter of abolishing the crown prince was shelved, and His Royal Highness the crown prince came out again to take part in government affairs.

As for Fang Yiai, who was still imprisoned in the mansion, life was not bad, but Li Shimin did not allow them to meet and get along every day.

But he did not completely stop the contact and correspondence between the prince and Fang Yiai.

Li Shimin even withdrew the investigation on the situation of the prince and concubines in the East Palace. The truth of the matter has become clear. The prince was just acting.

Li Shimin even felt sorry for Gao Yang.

It cannot be said that Gao Yang and Fang Yiai reconciled because Fang Yiai was "incompetent" to women.

Li Shimin never admitted that he was venting his anger.

Li Chengqian learned one thing from Chen Muzhi, about how he and Fang Yiai revealed the news to the emperor... because of someone who informed him.

Naturally, this person is Wei Wang Li Tai, and Princess Gao Yang also has a hand.

She used Concubine Wei's network to inquire about some things, plus guesses, and jointly arranged with King Wei to arrange the scene where the emperor suddenly came to Fang Yiai's mansion when he heard the news——

Li Chengqian polished the inkstone and copied a few large characters.

He gave Zhao Dezi a word.

Soon, a sad news came from the Xinde princess mansion where Princess Gaoyang lived with her son-in-law...
