Chapter 3, you are my son.

As Li Shimin said, in fact, everyone with discerning eyes knows that the culprit is the remnants of the Jiancheng faction.

On August 24th, the Turkic army attacked Gao Ling. Li Shimin, not daring to underestimate the enemy, dispatched his most trusted and brave general, Yuchi Jingde, as the marching general of Jingzhou Road to defend against the Turks. Although Yuchi Jingde won the battle, he could not stop the advance of the Turkic army. The 100,000 soldiers of the Khagan Jielike were like a bursting flood, rolling towards the Wei River and approaching the city of Chang'an.

After hearing this, Yang Fei laid Li Ke down on the bed, tucked him in, and then got up to go out to meet the emperor with her palace maids and Doctor Zhao.

Li Ke watched Li Shimin leave, and in his heart, he couldn't understand why Li Shimin would say such words to him in the end.

How did the minister there get saved?

So that's how it is.

However, who can truly understand him? Was the environment at that time something he could easily handle? Was it something he could hesitate about? No, because he also had to protect his loved ones, the people he cared about. Additionally, he had to pursue his own ideals.

After Li Shimin left, the imperial kitchen sent a table full of food to Li Ke, with so many dishes that he couldn't even count them all.

Li Shimin pondered and said, "According to the investigation, the people who are chasing after you should be remnants of the Jiancheng faction. It is still unclear who specifically planned it, who the mastermind is, and who participated. They are actually targeting me, but the palace is heavily guarded, so they cannot do anything to me. Therefore, they have implicated you, my son, with their grievances. I have sent people to investigate this matter thoroughly and will definitely bring them to justice. I want them to know the consequences of daring to harm my son."

Li Shimin said in a gentle tone.

If you say Li Shimin doesn't know, that is impossible.

The table was placed next to his bed. When Li Ke saw it, his stomach growled reflexively. He was indeed hungry. Three palace maids who were with Yang Fei helped him sit up. He wolfed down his food, as if swallowing mountains and rivers. Yang Fei lovingly watched his eating habits, tears streaming from her eyes. However, she quickly wiped them away with a handkerchief, without letting Li Ke notice. She reminded him, "Ke'er, eat slowly and don't choke." He continued to devour his food, as if swallowing mountains and rivers. Yang Fei lovingly watched his eating habits, tears streaming from her eyes. However, she quickly wiped them away with a handkerchief, without letting Li Ke notice. She reminded him, "Ke'er, eat slowly and don't choke."

Li Shimin hurried to the bedside in a few steps and pressed him back onto the bed, saying, "Ke'er, your injuries haven't healed yet, there's no need for formalities."

Li Ke was taken aback. For him, everything seemed like a dream. However, he could tell from Li Shimin's words that he knew who the person chasing him this time was.

Speaking of the end, Li Shimin's tone was angry and his expression was stern.

Since he launched the Xuanwu Gate coup and inherited the throne, many people have accused him of killing his brother and forcing his father, saying that his throne was obtained in the blood of his siblings.

Li Ke asked in confusion, "I remember being thrown off the horse, and those people raised their swords to kill me."

Then, sighing, "It's just a pity that those people saw Yang En's extraordinary martial arts skills. Apart from a few who escaped, the rest all committed suicide. If we could have captured one alive at that time, perhaps we could have interrogated and found out who the mastermind was."

The Xuanwu Gate Incident, in which Li Shimin shot and killed Li Jiancheng, allowed him to take over the position of Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace and later become the emperor. Many of Li Jiancheng's former trusted followers, as well as some who escaped capture, held a deep grudge against Li Shimin and secretly sought opportunities to take his life. Although, this time it was not him, but his son.

Li Ke made a struggling gesture to get out of bed, while respectfully saying, "Your Majesty, your son pays his respects."

First, take care of your body.

Li Shimin was taken aback.

Li Shimin glanced at Yang Fei and smiled, "Thanks to your mother, she was worried about you and sent Yang En to assist you. In a critical moment, Yang En arrived in time and saved you."

Thank you, Father.

So he inquired, "Does the emperor know something?"

Under compulsion, Li Shimin, being single, had a successful negotiation with the Khagan of the Western Turks, and finally signed a peace agreement on August 30th on the Wei River Bridge in the western suburbs of Chang'an. Both sides agreed to form an alliance by eliminating the Bai Ma tribe. Afterwards, the Khagan led all the Turkic cavalry to return, and a major battle finally came to an end.

Therefore, Li Shimin's attitude in this regard is very consistent with his personality.

Li Shimin saw that Li Ke's mind was elsewhere, so he asked Zhao, the imperial physician next to him, about Li Ke's physical condition. The imperial physician repeated what Yang Fei had said once again. Only then did Li Shimin feel relieved and showed a look of satisfaction. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, as if he remembered something. In a serious tone, he said, "Ke'er, take good care of your injuries. As for... other matters, don't think too much about them. Your father will definitely find the killer and mastermind behind the assassination."

Li Ke exclaimed, "Tian Khan, Li Shimin! How can one not be excited? He has indeed met the eternal emperor, Tian Khan Li Shimin."

You are my son. Because you are my son. This sentence from Li Shimin struck Li Ke's heart heavily. Suddenly, he understood that whether Li Shimin was the Heavenly Khan or the wise and ambitious emperor, he was, after all, a father. His own son had been assassinated, and he could not bear to do nothing. And his future path would definitely not be smooth, because he was Li Shimin's son.

The emperor mentioned by the palace maid, isn't that Li Shimin? He was the great Khan of the ages, and it's unbelievable that he was encountered and even became his son after a change of identity.

Li Kezheng was thinking, when a loud voice interrupted his thoughts, "I heard Ke'er woke up, so I came to see him."

Li Ke's gaze fixed on the doorway, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

With a smile, Li Shimin said, "I am pleased, Father, that you have such thoughts."

Li Ke understood Li Shimin's intention, which was to prevent him from getting involved in politics too early. He said, "Father, please rest assured that I will recover as soon as possible and share your worries."

Three palace maids were all shocked by his appearance and the books, their eyes widened. They thought to themselves, "Your Highness has indeed suffered on this journey."

The next morning, Li Ke woke up feeling much better. He could even take a few steps on the ground. Yesterday, the three palace maids who served him had refreshed him. Li Ke learned from Yang Fei that one of the palace maids with a melon seed face was called Lan'er. Moreover, he heard from Lan'er something even more astonishing: not only was he injured this time, but also Li Chengqian, his elder brother and the eldest son of Empress Changsun, as well as the legitimate eldest son of Li Shimin. And from Lan'er's mouth, he heard something even more astonishing: not only was he injured this time, but also Li Chengqian, his elder brother and the eldest son of Empress Changsun, as well as the legitimate eldest son of Li Shimin.

At this moment, a palace maid walked in, dressed just like those three obedient girls with lowered brows.

He sighed again and said, "Busy with state affairs, I will return now. Remember my words, you are the prince of the Great Tang, my son. Whatever you do, you must live up to the Great Tang and never disappoint me."

Li Ke was sizing up these girls, all dressed in magnificent Tang palace attire. As expected of the beauties in the imperial harem, they were numerous and stunning. Even the palace maids were so good-looking.

Upon seeing the expression on Li Shimin's face, there was a hint of melancholy. Li Ke asked with concern, "Has Father Emperor encountered something?"

Li Kexin was thinking that since he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he had gained an additional mother and now an additional father. He felt like he was acting, but this was real, not a play. It seemed that heaven was still kind to him, at least it did not let him become an orphan without parents.

The newly arrived palace maid walked up to Consort Yang and whispered, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."

However, www.hetushu.com in his Datang, in his heart, this is a shame. Therefore, he always wants to wash away the shame.

Li Kexin still had lingering fears in his heart. Suddenly, he realized that the persecution he encountered was all real. His soul must have been transferred to Li Kexin at that time, right?

However, what Li Ke fears most is knowing who the mastermind or the murderer is. However, in order to maintain the support he gained from the Xuanwu Gate Incident and the throne, he refrains from investigating, otherwise he would be in vain.

The "Weishui Alliance" was signed with the Turkic Khaganate, promising to pay tribute to the Khaganate every year. Compared to the talented and ambitious emperor like Li Shimin, this is a shame, a shame for the Tang Dynasty. The magnificent Tang Empire was forced to sign an unequal treaty with the nomadic tribes of the northern grasslands and pay tribute. Although there have been such dynasties in history, it is not something Li Shimin can control.

Li Shimin sat at the head of the bed, scrutinizing him, seeing the excitement and admiration in Li Ke's eyes. His heart couldn't help but tighten, and the pent-up frustration that had accumulated in his heart for several days finally found release.

The sound came closer and closer, and then Li Ke saw a man walking in, followed by Yang Fei and others. The man was in his thirties, wearing a yellow silk dragon robe, which set off his figure, appearing vigorous and noble. However, there was also a hint of gentleness in his firmness. He was Li Shimin? Indeed, he has a handsome appearance.

Yang En? Li Ke knows that he is a close eunuch by Yang Fei's side. He has known Yang En since he can remember, and Yang En has always been by Yang Fei's side. Moreover, Yang En is exceptionally skilled in martial arts, and half of his own martial arts skills were taught by him.
