"Buzz..."
In the huge hall, a burst of noise suddenly sounded!
Almost everyone, including Xiao Han, turned to look at the figure walking step by step from the door.
Li Shimin was not that tall. He was wearing an old suit of armor with frost flowers still hanging on it. There were several holes blown by the wind on his clenched fists, and the bright red flesh was rolled up. It looked like So shocking.
"Father! My son has returned from being ordered to quell the rebellion. I hereby surrender my order!"
Slowly walking to Xiao Han's side, Li Shimin clasped his hands in his fists, with a determined face showing no expression at all.
Li Yuan held the desk in front of him and looked at Li Shimin quietly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that something had changed in his son. It seemed that something called family affection had quietly disappeared from Li Shimin.
"Counter the rebellion!" He shook his head slightly to get rid of this ridiculous idea. Thinking about the results of the investigation in the past few days, Li Yuan said these two words very hard, and at the same time, a sharp look flashed in his eyes. .
Li Shimin heard the hidden meaning of Li Yuan's words, but he could not give in at this time. He had to bite the bullet and said: "Yang Wenqian, the leader of the Qingzhou rebellion, has been executed! His family was burned to death, and the generals of Qingzhou City will also die soon." They will be escorted to the capital, and here are the personal signatures of their participation in the rebellion!"
"Handwritten signature?" After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Yuan no longer pressed, but closed his eyes and whispered as if on purpose: "Am I not treating them well? Why do they treat me like this? ?”
Hearing these words, Li Shimin's face gradually turned pale. He glanced at Xiao Han who was smiling bitterly beside him. He suddenly gritted his teeth, took out a few slightly wrinkled letters from his armor, and raised them above his head: " After Yang Wenqian's death, my son accidentally found a few letters on his body and asked my father to take a look."
"Wow..."
The court, which could have heard the needle drop, immediately went into an uproar after seeing several letters held up by Li Shimin!
Most of the civil and military officials on both sides stood on tiptoe, wanting to read the signature on the letter!
Of course, there were a few people whose faces instantly turned pale when the letters were taken out, as if they had seen a ghost!
At this moment, the expressions of everyone in the court were all seen in Li Yuan's lowered eyes, causing his supposedly firm heart to suddenly waver a few times.
Eunuch Si Li carefully looked at Li Yuan's face, then walked down the steps quickly, took the letters from Li Shimin's hand, turned around and returned them to the imperial case.
Then, he immediately retreated quietly, without even looking at the envelope during the whole process.
Several thin envelopes were right in front of him, but Li Yuan did not look through them. Instead, he had a deep expression on his face, wondering what he was thinking.
a long time.
When the atmosphere in the hall almost turned to ice, Li Yuan finally stretched out his hand.
Under the gaze of some people whose hearts almost jumped out of their chests, he slowly picked up the letters and handed them to the eunuch behind him.
"Take it and burn it..."
These were Li Yuan's last words in court today. At the same time, these words made many people feel relieved.
The court meeting on the tenth day of the first lunar month ended like this.
There is no outcome, no deliberation, no success or failure.
Soon after this time, the imperial decree came down.
What is somewhat unexpected is that this time the decree is to hit the prince and Li Shimin fifty times each. So much so that Gyeongju, the real rebel, was never mentioned again.
Except for a few heads thrown at the market entrance, it was as if this incident had never happened.
Regarding the follow-up to this incident, on Li Shimin's side, Du Yan was transferred to Lingnan, Luo Shixin went to Shuozhou, and as for Cheng Yaojin, he was also transferred to the East China Sea this time.
On the prince's side, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, and Wei Zheng were also exiled one after another.
At the beginning of this year, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng met for the first time, and it was impossible to tell whether they would win or lose.
The only good thing is that Xiao Han, who was supposed to be assigned together, seemed to have been forgotten by Li Yuan and was never mentioned again.
The time soon came to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The turmoil in the court in the past few days has now been forgotten.
Under the colorful lights on the streets, this year's Lantern Festival is still very lively.
However, in those newly built colorful sheds, no one came forward to write poems, even if the owners made repeated appointments.
A few poems written by the Marquis of Sanyuan County last year actually taught those arrogant literati to not dare to show off about literature. If it spreads, it should become a good story.
"Hey, I had prepared poems, but Fan Yang Lu actually hung that person's poems under the lamp. Who dares to write more? Even if that person comes again, he probably won't be able to write poems that can compare with them. ?”
Under the colored lights, the readers who were guessing word puzzles were full of complaints. From time to time, they would think of the figure who traveled with the United States last year.
Unfortunately, this year is destined to disappoint them.
The Marquis of Sanyuan County, who often disturbed Chang'an, did not even enter Chang'an this time. At this time, he was squatting at home, drinking glass after glass of wine with Zhang Qiang.
"Hehe, I've been flirting with each other today, so why don't you invite me to drink with you!"
Under the bright moonlight, Zhang Qiang's face was red, and his eyes became blurred because he drank too much wine.
Xiao Han raised his neck and downed a glass of wine, burping and saying: "You and your sister-in-law are an old couple, and you still have a day and a half to go?"
"Not bad, not bad!" Zhang Qiang blushed, waved his hands randomly, and then suddenly remembered something and asked: "Hey, where is Xue Pan? Why haven't you seen her for several days? Didn't you guys have a quarrel? ?”
Xiao Han curled his lips: "What are you thinking? We are good...very good! It's just that I feel like I'm going to be unlucky recently, so I told her not to look for me first."
"Unlucky?" Zhang Qiang stopped the cup and looked at Xiao Han seriously: "Why didn't I see it? But I heard that Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin were unlucky! Especially Cheng Yaojin, I heard that he was killed this time He was thrown to the East China Sea, Your Majesty, are you going to let him make a living by fishing?"
Xiao Han burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, he can't fish, he has no patience, he will be pissed to death!"
"Oh, that's really unlucky. You can't even catch fish." Zhang Qiang seemed to be infected by Xiao Han. He laughed a few times and then asked: "Then why are you unlucky?"
Xiao Han shook his head and glanced at Zhang Qiang: "You don't know? The three of us went out together at the beginning! Now both of them are unlucky, and there is no reason for me to be the only one left, so I even packed up the salutes in the past two days. , just wait for Your Majesty to drive me away."
"Haha, you are so thoughtful!"
Zhang Qiang was obviously drunk at this time. He patted Xiao Han on the shoulder and stared at him blankly: "It's been a few days and no one has mentioned you again. I've probably forgotten you!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Qiang's expression suddenly changed, and he said rather mysteriously: "But I found that His Majesty has always been very kind to you! Tell the truth, are you His Majesty's illegitimate son?"
"Get the hell out of here!"
