Chapter 101 one zero zero

After days of hard work, Fang Xuanling finally fell ill and kept vomiting blood.When Empress Changsun found out, she was very anxious, and sent the imperial physician He Sidao three times, and then decided to visit in person.Empress Changsun led Li Chengqian and He Sidao just as they were about to board the chariot when Li Tai, Li Ke and hundreds of ministers and workers suddenly came towards the East Palace.Dozens of guards immediately surrounded Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian.Li Tai and the others saluted the queen, and then explained their intentions, claiming to report something important to the queen.

Empress Changsun saw that the situation was a little abnormal, and asked Li Tai what happened to make such a mobilization necessary.Li Tai cast his eyes on Li Chengqian and said, "What's the matter? About the father!" Empress Changsun's complexion changed, she couldn't believe it was true, she stared at Li Tai blankly.Li Chengqian said angrily: "Fourth brother, are you trying to force the palace?" Li Tai replied loudly: "This is not what I mean, but everyone who came here today." The officials behind him They all knelt down, Empress Changsun glanced at them, her eyes fell on Li Ke's face, Li Ke hurriedly lowered her eyes to the ground.Empress Changsun said calmly: "It seems that it is impossible to not listen to you today, then well, He Sidao, you go to see Mr. Fang, you will bring Gu's heart to you!"

Empress Changsun winked at He Sidao, He Sidao already understood, and walked forward.Then Empress Changsun turned around, and all the princes and officials followed her into the main hall of the Eastern Palace. Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Li Chengqian. He walked towards the chair in front of the hall in a panic, and almost tripped on the steps. Heng Lian stepped forward to help him After a while, he stood still and sat down a little awkwardly. Empress Changsun sat on one side, and said first: "Qingque, your father always praised you as a child of a sage, with a heart of benevolence and filial piety, but today you are leading a battle with all the officials in front of Gu, and charged so aggressively. Come into the palace, how can there be any benevolence and filial piety?" Li Tai knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, my mother, I read the classics of sages every day, and I have understood the word benevolence and filial piety for more than ten years, my son. I think the benevolence and filial piety that the sages talk about is great benevolence and great filial piety. To be kind to those who plot to usurp the country is to be unkind to the people of the world. To be filial to those who killed the father and emperor is to be unfilial to the ancestors. .”

All the ministers echoed in unison: "The words of the king of Wei are in line with the essence of the sage's classics, and every sentence is reasonable." Empress Changsun was trembling with anger. She suppressed the anger in her chest and said to Li Tai: "You mean, you murdered your father?" Li Tai replied: "I didn't say that about my mother. But the ministers He and the common people are not all blind. The prisoner holds a military amulet in his hand. He knows that his father is besieged in Mayi, despite his sons and officials trying to persuade him, why doesn't he order reinforcements? He is clearly eager for his father's death. How about inheriting the great line! If the queen mother shields him, the subjects will not doubt that you are conspiring with Jian Guo!"

Empress Changsun stood up and pointed at Li Tai and said, "You, you, do you treat your biological mother like this?" Li Tai said indifferently: "Then do you treat me as your own son? After all these years, you Ask everyone in the court, what did they see?" Then, he pointed at Li Chengqian and said: "In your eyes, he is only his own son, he does not practice civil and military skills, and he did such a rebellious thing. , half of it is because you, a mother, favored and doted on him!" Empress Changsun never expected that her own son would talk to herself like this in public. She was dizzy for a while and almost fell. The arm chair swayed a few times and managed to stand still, with a painful expression on her face.Li Chengqian stood up from his chair and shouted loudly: "Fourth brother, stop talking!" Empress Changsun waved her hands and said, "Let him talk, let him shake all the shameful things in his heart to his heart's content!"

But Li Tai didn't want to talk anymore, and looked at his mother and elder brother coldly. At this moment, Li Ke stood up and shouted to the princes and officials: "The fall of Mayi was caused by the prince's deliberate obstruction of sending troops to rescue. If you don't Give the world an explanation, and our ancestors will never forgive us!" Some people were booing: "The East Palace must abdicate!" At this moment, the door suddenly creaked, and a ray of sunlight shot into the hall. A man walked in tremblingly, looked at Li Ke majesticly, and said, "Who is talking nonsense here!" There was a look of surprise on Li Chengqian's face, it was Fang Sheng who walked in with Fang Xuanling's help.Fang Xuanling glanced at Baiguan, and said word by word: "It's my idea not to send troops to Mayi."

Li Tai cupped his hands towards Fang Xuanling: "Master Fang, this matter has nothing to do with you, please don't take it on yourself." Fang Xuanling responded: "I didn't take it on myself, I'm telling the truth!" He Slowly walked to the center of the hall, turned his body to the crowd, and said in a weak voice: "I, Fang Xuanling, have fought many battles with Gaozu and the emperor, you all know, right? Let me tell you about the use of soldiers. The last two sentences are not talking nonsense, right?" Fang Xuanling went on to say: "The emperor was secretly patrolling the north and was surrounded in Mayi unintentionally. Few people knew about it. If a large army is sent to rescue, it does not mean that Have you told the enemy the whereabouts of the Holy Majesty? If Hu Kou knows the secrets in the city, is there any hope for the Emperor to break through?"

Li Tai asked loudly: "Then the crown prince can't just sit back and watch his father be in danger?" Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Tai and said, "Who said the crown prince just sit back and watch? He once secretly ordered Li Shi to attack from Suizhou. It is to mobilize Jieli's reinforcements from the west, and when the enemy's strength in Mayi decreases, our army will take the opportunity to meet the emperor to break through. In the art of war, this is called east and west. The Ministry of War has the official documents for future reference, can you see if there are any mistakes?" General Fang Xuanling Handing over a document in his hand, a minister took the document and looked at it and nodded: "That's right."

Li Chengqian thought to himself, the queen mother said that what Fang Xuanling gave was a fairy medicine, so that's what she meant! Fang Xuanling said again: "But Li Shi just attacked, and Jie Li, who had surrounded Mayi for seven days without attacking, suddenly ordered to attack the city. I suspect—" He cast his eyes on Li Ke, and raised his voice: "Someone You intentionally leaked the news to Hu Kou, so that the crown prince will be accused of murdering the emperor!" There was an uproar in the hall, and all the officials discussed. Quan Wanji, who was standing in the crowd, said: "Master Fang, haven't the leakers been found out? They are two eunuchs from Hongwen Palace." Fang Xuanling sneered: "It's so difficult for eunuchs to go out of the palace. How could you collude with Hu Kou?" Quan Wanji asked guiltyly: "You said it wasn't these two eunuchs, so who could it be?" Fang Xuanling said coldly: "Everyone in Hongwen Palace that day It's all possible!"

Quan Wanji couldn't care less, stood up and went into battle shirtless, pointed at Fang Xuanling and said, "I think, I think the most likely one is you! As long as the city of Mayi is broken and the emperor can't come back, you can make meritorious deeds for your support." , invited a special favor from Xinjun! Mr. Fang, you really are very scheming, and deliberately resorted to such a trick as letting Li Shibei enter to cover up the conspiracy, but no matter how cunning you are, you can't avoid the fact—— You are the biggest beneficiary of betraying Ma Yi!" There was another uproar in the hall, and Fang Xuanling remained silent.

Quan Wanji said proudly: "Why, have you nothing to say?" Suddenly a person tremblingly said: "No matter who betrayed Mayi, it will definitely not be our master!" Fang Sheng came in with the help of Fang Xuanling.Quan Wanji scolded: "Bold, what place is this, do you have a servant to speak?" Empress Changsun glared at him, and said, "Quan Wanji, why are you gagging me?" Moving to Fang Sheng: "Say it!"
