Chapter 108 My brother cried very hard
"His Majesty!"

On the way, the ministers met Li Er and immediately bowed to him.

Li Er said nothing, did not stop, and rode away at full speed.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to follow and head out of the city.

"what happened."

"Why did the prince want to go to Zhaoling?"

Cheng Zhijie approached Changsun Wuji and asked, "Wasn't he fine before?"

Changsun Wuji felt bitter in his heart. He didn't want to see the prince make any mistake.

"I don't know either. Dalang sent someone to report it, but he didn't give any details."

Cheng Zhijie looked at everyone, all of whom had serious and solemn expressions.

If the prince makes any mistake today.

None of this group of important officials, including Your Majesty, can give a clear explanation.

It’s different in the past.

The prince's authority is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he already has the potential to be a wise and virtuous ruler.

The position of the crown prince is stable and has the support of the people.

If anything happens to such a crown prince, there will be a lot of criticism and curses in the world.

No one can afford it.

"hurry up."

"I hope the prince won't do anything stupid."

……

blah blah blah!
A strong horse is galloping, with a beautiful figure on its back.

Changle was extremely anxious and kept whipping the horse to urge it to go faster.

That's her brother.

Love her own brother.

From childhood to adulthood, my brother is the one I respect the most in my heart.

Later, the prince's personality changed and he became a stranger to her.

Now, her brother, whom she was familiar with and doted on, was back.

She absolutely couldn't let anything happen to her brother.

When Zhaoling appeared before our eyes.

Changle didn't care about his fatigue and drove straight in. After arriving, he reined in his horse, turned over, and walked forward quickly.

When Chang Sun Chong saw that Chang Le was the first person to arrive, he immediately went to meet him.

"Princess...!"

Snapped!
A loud slap suddenly sounded.

Five bright red palm prints suddenly appeared on Chang Sun Chong's face.

"Chang Sun Chong, my brother has made a mistake, I will make you pay!"

Changle's pretty face was filled with anger as she scolded him coldly, not giving her husband any face at all.

Chang Sun Chong covered his face, not daring to show his anger. He felt so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

"Where is my brother?" Changle asked.

"His Royal Highness is inside."

Chang Sun Chong said weakly, "Your Highness does not allow anyone to approach, and everyone is driven out."

"you……!"

Changle was so angry that he wanted to slap Changsun Chong again, "You bastard, what does the prince say?"

"You leave my brother alone."

"you……!"

She was so disappointed with Zhang Sun Chong that she glared at him fiercely and walked in.

Chang Sun Chong was about to cry to death.

Who did I offend?

Can I stop the prince?

The guards of Zhaoling tried to stop the prince, and who didn't get whipped?

Changle tried hard to adjust his breathing and tried not to move too much.

She approached cautiously, and when she was still some distance away, she heard heart-wrenching cries coming from inside before she saw anyone.

Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears couldn't stop flowing, falling drop by drop onto the ground, soon making it wet.

My brother is crying!

For some reason, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

The pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

When she saw her brother the Crown Prince, she saw Li Chengqian kneeling in front of his mother's spirit tablet, crying bitterly.

"elder brother!"

She couldn't bear it any longer and walked forward, kneeling beside Li Chengqian, crying and shouting.

Li Chengqian remained unmoved and continued to cry. He couldn't stop his tears at all.

……

outside.

Li Er and others arrived, and Chang Sun rushed forward to greet them. Seeing the cold and indifferent expression of His Majesty, his heart skipped a beat and he fell to the bottom of the valley.

"Where is the prince?"

"The prince is inside. Princess Changle just went in."

Chang Sun Chong said quickly.

Li Er, who was about to walk inside, suddenly stopped. No one knew what he was thinking. He stood there motionless.

Zhang Sun Wuji pulled Zhang Sun Chong aside and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Why did the prince suddenly come to Zhaoling?"

He noticed the palm print on Chang Sun Chong's face, and he didn't know whether it was done by the prince or Chang Le.

"I don't know either. The prince suddenly wanted to come to Zhaoling, and I couldn't persuade him."

"Tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

"It's like this. Your Majesty gave the King of Wei a decree to move out of the Wude Hall. After hearing this, the Crown Prince suddenly became determined to come to Zhaoling..."

Chang Sun Chong explained the whole thing in detail.

Changsun Wuji fell silent immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer as anxious as before.

It's not the worst thing, that's good.

"The one on your face..."

"It was given by the princess."

Chang Sun Chong said aggrievedly.

"Well rewarded!"

"I want to slap you too. How do you manage to be the head of the prince's household?"

"Such a big thing, you actually..."

Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say. He shook his head. Seeing Changsun Chong's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to slap him in the face.

He turned and walked towards Li Er.

Li Er was still standing there, and no one dared to speak.

"His Majesty."

“Here’s what happened…”

Chang Sun Wuji told it all verbatim. He could clearly feel that His Majesty's tense body softened a lot.

The others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So that’s it.

Your Majesty, look at what you have done.

The root of the problem lies with you. Just look at how big of a knot the prince has in his heart when the King of Wei moves into the Wude Hall.

When His Highness heard your handwritten edict, he lost his composure and all the ministers were frightened.

Let’s see if you dare to do it again in the future.

"Your Majesty, I am late."

Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu and others did not ride horses and could not withstand the long-distance bumpy ride, so they could only sit on the carriages and arrived late.

Li Er did not respond to them.

Wei Zheng wanted to ask something, but quickly shut up. Everyone was there and no action was taken, which meant that the situation was not the worst.

at this time.

Changle came out wiping her tears, it was obvious that she had cried a lot just now.

"Father!"

"What happened to Gao Ming?"

Li Er asked softly.

"Father, my brother is in front of our mother's spirit tablet..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Changle threw herself into Li Er's arms and burst into tears.

"My brother cried so hard. He kept crying."

“Lots and lots of tears.”

"No matter how much Li Zhi is persuaded, she won't be persuaded."

"He just kept crying and didn't say anything. He cried so sadly."

"Father, what should I do with Li Zhi..."

Li Shimin patted Changle's back gently.

Hearing Changle's words while sobbing, he felt a pang of pain in his heart, so painful that he could hardly breathe.

My eyes gradually became moist and tears were welling up in them.

But he forced himself not to fall.

But he couldn't hold back his emotions.

The prince cried bitterly in front of the spirit tablet of Guanyin's maid.

Why is it so.

He asked himself this question, and the more he asked, the more bitter and sad he felt.

"It's fine."

"Lizhi is fine."

"As long as the emperor is here, nothing will happen."

He looked inside with tears in his eyes and kept speaking words of comfort.

I don't know whether he was comforting Changle or comforting himself.

The ministers standing around were silent. Cheng Zhijie quietly retreated a few steps, and the others also quietly followed suit, keeping some distance from Li Shimin and Changle.

Li Tai, Gao Yang and others also arrived one after another.

At the same time, a large number of officials including Zhang Shiheng, Yu Zhining, and Kong Yingda also arrived.

However, they did not come closer, but stood further away, looking anxiously and eagerly.

"Come on, let's go in."

"Qingque, Gaoyang, both of you come here."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin walked inside with his children.

A heart-wrenching cry was heard.

He couldn't hold it in any longer, tears welled up in his eyes, he couldn't control himself.

Changle let go and rushed forward, kneeling beside Li Chengqian again. Gao Yang and others also came forward, crying.

"Avalokitesvara maid."

"I was wrong……."

He tried to raise his head, but he couldn't hold back his tears.

"I failed to protect Cheng Qian."

“I’m sorry….”

"I'm sorry Gao Ming..."

Li Shimin looked at his crying children with tears in his eyes. His heart was broken. All the past scenes appeared in his mind.

He turned slowly and walked out.

When the ministers saw Li Shimin's appearance, they couldn't help but lower their heads.

"Auxiliary machine."

He called Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji took three or two steps closer.

"Cheng Qian cried very hard in front of Guanyin Bi."

"Almost heartbroken..."

"Am I unqualified as a father?"

Changsun Wuji did not rush to answer.

He knew that at this moment, because the prince was crying inside, His Majesty's mood was also bad.

Don't think about responding to what His Majesty says, just listen.

If he really says that Your Majesty is not a qualified father, what will Your Majesty think when he turns around and calms down?
The sky darkened and countless torches were lit all around, making the place as bright as day.

People were not as worried as before.

The prince is fine, it's just that there is a reason for what happened.

Li Shimin did not leave and the prince did not come out.

How could the ministers leave?

Everyone waited outside like this. No one knew how long it had been before Princess Changle came out again and said, "Father, my brother said he wanted to stay at Zhaoling Mausoleum to keep vigil for our mother until her death anniversary."

"Li Zhi also wants to accompany her brother in Zhaoling."

Empress Changsun died on June 21, the tenth year of Zhenguan.

At this moment, there is still half a month left until the memorial day.

When everyone heard this, they were moved by the prince's filial piety.

"That's it."

Li Shimin said: "You guys go back first."

"I also want to stay here with Guanyinbi."

The ministers had no intention of leaving.

If Your Majesty doesn't leave, how can we dare to leave?
You want to accompany me? We have to keep it, too.

no way.

Li Shimin also understood that his ministers would not leave unless he did.

He had no choice but to stay for a while longer, give Changle some advice and give her an oral order to take good care of the prince and others before he reluctantly left.

It was already late at night when we left.

There was no need to rush back to Chang'an overnight. Everyone was exhausted from chasing the prince, so Li Shimin and his men took a rest nearby.

Li Shimin sat alone in the room, lost in thought, and could not fall asleep for a long time.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief.

A false alarm.

But it also scared them quite a bit.

However, when he thought of the Crown Prince crying in front of Empress Changsun's spirit tablet, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The next day, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the memorial ceremony for Empress Changsun.

At that time, all civil and military officials must go there.

At the same time, he assigned palace maids and eunuchs to go to Zhaoling to take care of the prince and other children.
