Li Shimin regrets it now, very, very much.
Why didn't you beat this idiot to death when you were two years old?
I'm so stupid, really. I knew Li Longji was not a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so filial...
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and looked at Li Xiaosan. Li Xiaosan was so excited that he quickly ran to Queen Mother Dou's side.
"Great-grandmother, look, my great-grandfather is looking down on me... No, he is threatening me..."
Li Xiaosan felt that there was something wrong with the child's treatment during the middle of the sentence. He was the great-great-grandfather, so he should be treated with the child's treatment. So when he sensed something was wrong, he immediately changed his words and tried to add fuel to Empress Dowager Dou's anger.
Predictably, he did it, and Queen Dou glared at Li Shimin: "Erlang! How dare you do this!"
She looked around, and after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a weapon that was handy. She only selected a Hu stool that seemed to be handy. The old lady stepped on the stool and the stool broke into pieces. She grabbed a stool leg and pulled it off.
Queen Mother Dou held the stool legs and patted them in her hands, feeling very satisfied with the feeling. She turned to look at Li Shimin and snorted coldly: "Erlang, you have become the emperor and you no longer care about your mother? Are you not even going to listen to my mother's words?"
Li Qingqing could tell that Empress Dowager Dou was similar to his second aunt, both of them were good at using stool legs...
"Auntie, listen to the child's cunning... listen to the child's explanation..." Li Shimin was a little crazy. There were so many children and grandchildren watching from behind. If the mother-in-law is to carry Dingdong and beat her up, where will she put her face in the future? ? How to educate children?
He turned back to look at Empress Changsun with pleading eyes, but who knew that Empress Changsun was holding Yuan Nu and was concentrating on pinching its feathers.
"You just said you were quibbling, didn't you say you were quibbling?" Empress Dowager Dou looked at Li Shimin with a sneer.
"No, Auntie, I feel wronged too..." Li Shimin begged for mercy, "Besides, with so many children watching, you have to save some face for the elder, right?"
When Queen Mother Dou thought about it, it made sense.
Although the second son of my family is said to be famous for his filial piety and brotherhood, he still has to be called the ancestor after all. Face and other things, you still have to give what is due.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou obviously planned to lock up her Aye and beat her alone, Li Zhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He squeezed for a long time, trying to find something to make his grandmother angry. As the saying goes, wisdom emerges from desperation, and it really reminded him of a sentence.
"Grandma Huang, there is a saying that it is better to have children like sheep than wolves..." Just after saying this, Li Zhi felt a chill in his spine. After he noticed the death gaze of Queen Mother Dou, he quickly cast a misdirection on Li Shimin. : "Hey, don't look at me, I said so!"
Li Shimin:...
*Rage value from Li Shimin +1000
How dare you use my magic against me? Potter?
*Rage value from Queen Mother Dou +5000
This sentence was indeed effective. Empress Dowager Dou, who had originally planned to have a private chat with Li Shimin, immediately changed her mind.
Haha, what a saying: "It is better to have children like wolves than to have children like sheep"! Presumably you, Li Erlang, also started your journey of killing your brother and imprisoning your father under the guidance of this policy, right?
"You... how dare you teach your son like this?" Empress Dowager Dou took a deep breath and said calmly: "My mother is a woman. She has never read a book and does not understand any culture. Please explain to me what ' It is better to have children like sheep than to have children like wolves'?"
After hearing these words, Empress Changsun, who was still pinching Yuan Nu's feathers, raised an imperceptible smile on her lips. A small beauty mark on her lips decorated the smile like a fox.
Let you teach my child bad things... Empress Changsun hummed in her heart, and she felt even happier when she saw someone helping her to uphold justice.
*Comfort value from Queen Changsun +2000
Li Zhi, who was standing next to her, suddenly heard a faint humming sound. He quickly located the source of the sound and asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Auntie, why are you humming..."
In his heart, grandma has always been gentle and elegant. Why does she look like pink and black today?
"Zhinu," Queen Changsun heard this, without raising her head, still rubbing Yuan Nu's head, and said absently: "What did you hear?"
Li Zhi trembled and said quickly: "Zhinu heard it wrong, Zhinu heard it wrong..."
"Well..." Queen Changsun nodded and said nothing more.
Li Shimin over there was still thinking of a way to escape. His mind was racing, and he imitated Li Zhi and ran away.
Give it to Luda!
As the saying goes, escaping is shameful but very useful. This is what Li Shimin had in mind. As he ran, he said: "Aniang, a small stick can be carried by a big stick. I can't trap you in injustice. Aniang, other things will wait for you in the evening." Calm down and talk, I..."
After running a few steps, I felt something hugging my leg.
Looking down, good guys, Li Xiaosan on the left leg and Li Zhi on the right leg. The grandfather and grandson saw that they were looking down at them, raised their heads and bared their teeth and smiled.
"Grandma Huang (great-grandmother)! We helped you catch him!"
"You two bastards!" Li Shimin pedaled twice but did not move. Seeing Empress Dowager Dou approaching step by step, he couldn't help but cursed loudly: "Are you really going to trap my grandmother in injustice? Get out of the way!"
However, neither of them wanted to let go. Li Zhi bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Ah, Grandma Huang is only holding a stick and not a knife. Don't worry, she won't beat you to death."
"You two wait for me!" Li Shimin said angrily: "Don't sleep too much tonight! Watch me send the Xuanjia Army to send you to heaven one by one!"
*Rage value from Li Shimin +2000
Queen Mother Dou sneered and walked forward with square steps: "Erlang, you are... so majestic!"
"Auntie, auntie, please calm down." Li Qing stepped forward quickly at this time.
Seeing Li Qing step forward, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel happy. At the critical moment, I have to be my good brother. As long as my good brother can say a few nice words to me, everything will be fine.
However, what Li Shimin didn't expect was that Li Qing smiled at him from an angle that no one else could see.
Under Li Shimin's shocked eyes, Li Qing took out a broom.
"Auntie, please use this. The legs of that stool are so rough. What if you really break my brother Li?" Li Qing handed the broom to Queen Mother Dou's hand: "This broom is the treasure of the fairy world." It hurts a lot but doesn’t leave any scars..."
"Good stuff!" Queen Mother Dou didn't see what was so good about this broom, but since the immortal nephew said it was good, it must be good.
She took the broom, weighed it with satisfaction, and looked at Li Shimin with cold eyes.
"Erlang, come back."
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't want to come back, Queen Mother Dou laughed and held out three fingers.
"one……"
"two……"
"Mom, stop checking." Li Shimin waved his hand dejectedly, signaling Li Zhi and his grandson to stop hugging her. He walked towards Queen Mother Dou and sighed: "You...save some face for the child."
Empress Dowager Dou snorted coldly. After all, she couldn't bear to offend her husband in front of so many people.
"What are you all doing here?" Queen Mother Dou glanced around coldly, "Get out of here!"
Empress Changsun was the first to get up, and she carried Yuan Nu out of the palace. Behind her were Princess Taiping, Li Xian, Li Dan, and their three brothers.
"You two, you didn't tell me, did you?" Queen Mother Dou looked at Li Zhi and Li Xiaosan as if they were looking at corpses.
The two looked at each other, didn't dare to say anything, and ran away with their tails between their legs.
"Xiaoqing, and Xiuning, you two stay." Queen Mother Dou continued.
Li Xiuning glanced at his younger brother who had a look of sadness on his face, and then at Li Qing who had fun written all over his face, said oh, and sat aside.
"Erlang, kneel down." Empress Dowager Dou pointed in front of her.
Li Shimin shuddered, remembering that when he was a child, he was naughty and rubbed a big piece of oily skin off his elder brother Li Jiancheng's head. Because of this, his mother made him kneel in the ancestral hall and beat him severely.
No matter what, his mother's orders were more effective than imperial edicts, so he could only obey them.
Queen Mother Dou took a deep breath, and tears slowly flowed from her eyes.
She didn't understand why her sons were fighting each other and killing each other.
The broom in his hand was raised high and landed heavily on Li Shimin's back.
Li Shimin was also a tough guy, and he bore his mother's beating without saying a word.
After two blows, it was finally the flesh that fell off her body. Empress Dowager Dou raised the broom high and then put it down dejectedly.
After a long while, I didn't wait until the broom came down, but I felt water droplets suddenly falling on my neck. Li Shimin quickly looked up and saw his mother-in-law crying while leaning on a broom.
It would be okay if he was beaten, but when he saw his mother crying, Li Shimin also panicked.
"Aniang, Aniang..." He quickly hugged Queen Mother Dou's legs and cried out.
*Grief value from Li Shimin +10000
Empress Dowager Dou sighed: "Erlang, my mother has watched you grow up. If you are really forced to do nothing, just tell her that she does not blame you..."
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Li Qing said quickly: "Auntie, in fact, it's not my fault, Brother Li, for that matter. Can you listen to me?"
Queen Mother Dou took a deep breath and said to him: "You tell me, I will listen."
"Things are actually very complicated. Since Uncle Li raised his army in Jinyang, I, Brother Li, have been serving as a vanguard general since I was twenty years old. I have defeated Xue Rengao of the Western Qin Dynasty, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, and captured Wulao Pass in one battle. The two kings shook the world... It can be said that most of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by him."
"But the eldest son is Brother Li after all, so Uncle Li made Brother Li the prince and Brother Li the king of Qin. Later, he was made a general of Tiance due to his merit, ranking above the prince and duke."
"It's just because Brother Li's contribution is too great. In order to temporarily appease his heart, Uncle Li told him more than once that he would abolish the crown prince and make him the crown prince instead. So he kept giving him hope, but kept delaying the delay. You must be aware of the result of your delay in honoring it, which has caused the prince, Brother Li, to gradually develop fear."
When Li Qing said this, his expression changed slightly.
"Li Yuanji was very ambitious and wanted to provoke the two to fight for his own gain, so he pretended to join the weaker side, the prince. Under his instigation more than once, and Uncle Li's cunning manipulation, the prince Gradually, he began to be hostile to Brother Li, and later he even wanted to get rid of him quickly. He even poisoned Brother Li's wine during the banquet. If Brother Li hadn't been lucky, he would have been poisoned to death. Before we met, There are still remnants of the original poison in his body..."
"In the ninth year of Wude, Uncle Li used the celestial phenomenon of "Taibai saw the division of Qin, and the King of Qin should rule the world" as an excuse to prepare to disintegrate Brother Li's power..."
Just as Li Qing said this, he was interrupted by the angry voice of Queen Mother Dou.
"That's enough!" Queen Mother Dou slammed the broom in her hand on the ground, "Xiao Qing, you don't need to say anything! I understand!"
"It turns out it was your stupid father who did the good deeds!" Queen Mother Dou said bitterly: "The art of balancing has actually been used on her own son. He, Li Shude, turns out to be such an unworthy person! ... Xiao Qing!"
"Here you are, Auntie." Li Qing replied quickly.
"Can you take me to the Wude Year?" Empress Dowager Dou's phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I want to ask Li Shude face to face why he treated my child like this!"
*Redemption value from Li Shimin +20000
*The system is being upgraded...
"Aniang...Aniang!"
Li Shimin's emotions collapsed instantly. He knelt on the ground and covered his face in tears.
Seventeen years, he has been wronged for seventeen years. Why doesn't he want to be a good son and brother, but brothers can't get along, and father and son can't get along with each other.
He also thought about handing over his military power and living out his life as a free prince. But political struggle is so cruel. Even if he lets go, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji may not be able to let go. It is the best situation for the brothers who follow him and bear his brand, and they will spend their whole lives depressed and unwilling to be reused. And his relatives and family members... He didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if he failed.
And everyone was poking at his spine, saying indiscriminately that he killed his brother and imprisoned his father, but no one had ever thought about why all this happened and what the consequences would be if he failed.
"Auntie, I'm afraid it won't be possible for the time being. If we go forward, we will have to wait for a long time..." Li Qing said with some embarrassment.
The system has not yet opened Wude Nian's access rights - presumably, two Li Shimin went to Wude Nian and had a fully equipped Tiance Mansion team. Why, a Tang Dynasty can't accommodate you?
Queen Mother Dou nodded and did not force it. She lowered her head and reached out to gently stroke her head.
Poor kid...he shouldn't have to bear this.
"Okay, it's all over, Erlang." Empress Dowager Dou comforted Li Shimin in a warm voice: "It's all my fault, my mother-in-law. She accuses you indiscriminately. Will you blame me?"
"Children don't complain!" Li Shimin shook his head repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Erlang." Empress Dowager Dou comforted her gently: "When I go to Wude Year, I will definitely help you seek justice!"
"I want to see that old man Li Shude, who gave him the courage to treat my son like this!"
