East Palace.
Li Chengqian smashed the vase on the ground and was furious.
Feng Chou knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
"Ten thousand guan, you actually lost 10,000 guan!"
Li Chengqian's eyebrows twitched, and he was extremely angry: "Someone, drag Feng Chou down, chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"
"Your Highness, please wait." Du He quickly stopped him and said, "Although Feng Chou made a mistake, he still had hard work without credit. Please give him a chance to atone for his crime." Du He begged.
"You want to plead for a rotten gambler?" Li Chengqian's eyes revealed a strong murderous intent.
"Du He is just thinking about His Highness."
Du He bowed politely, then kicked Feng Chou: "You still haven't expressed your stance?"
Feng Chou suddenly realized: "Your Highness, please give me another chance. From now on, I am willing to pay 20% more profit every month!"
After hearing this, Li Chengqian's anger subsided a lot.
It doesn't matter whether he kills Feng Chou or not, the most important thing is that he can make money for him!
"I can spare you this time, but if there is another time, your whole family will be buried with you!" Li Chengqian threatened.
"I don't dare to gamble anymore." Feng Chou shivered and broke into a cold sweat.
"Um."
Li Chengqian nodded, and then seemed to remember something: "Have you found out who is with Cui Shenji?"
"Back to your highness, that man is Wei Zheng's son, Wei Shuyu!" Du He replied.
Are they the Wei family father and son again?
Li Chengqian's eyes were filled with anger.
A few days ago, because of Wei Zheng's impeachment, he had just been scolded by Li Shimin in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
Yesterday, Li Shimin whipped him again because of Wei Shuyu's incident.
Unexpectedly, Wei Shuyu almost destroyed his source of income again today.
Are you having trouble with the Wei family and his son?
"Your Highness, Wei Zheng has won the trust of His Majesty and is not an enemy. Our biggest enemy now is the King of Wei!" Du He calmly analyzed the situation.
Li Chengqian became even more angry when he heard King Wei's name.
If he hadn't been competing for favor in front of his father, why would he be so passive!
Duke Lu's Mansion.
"Have you found out who that boy is?" Cheng Yaojin asked a soldier.
After hearing that his son had been beaten, he became furious.
Originally he wanted to vent his anger on his son, but when he heard that it was Cui Shenji who beat him, he immediately picked up his horse and shouted that he would beat his useless good-for-nothing son to death!
It's not shameful to be beaten, but it's shameful to be beaten by peers or by Cui Shenki who is younger than his son.
You know, Changsun Chong and Cheng Hualiang are both fifteen or sixteen years old.
And Choi Shin Ki is only eleven years old!
When they were young, the difference in physique and strength was huge.
How could he not be angry when he was beaten by the other party?
Cheng Yaojin is a warrior!
His son will definitely join the army in the future.
Now that I have been beaten by the son of a civil servant, how can I not be laughed to death in the army?
"He is the son of Duke Zheng, Wei Shuyu."
It's him?
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but picture Wei Shuyu's face... Just yesterday, Wei Shuyu had a fight with His Majesty.
"What a Wei Zheng, secretly teaching his son martial arts!" Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth.
Is this damn thing going to develop into our military general?
It seems that this is not bad.
Wei Shuyu is only eleven years old, but he has already shown superb martial arts skills, and his future future is bound to be limitless.
No, I have to recruit him.
"Come here, prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace."
Cheng Bing Jin's abacus was slammed. It was not important that his son was not killed without being killed.
As long as he takes Wei Shuyu under his command and says that he taught Wei Shuyu his skills, won't all the rumors be self-defeating?
Duke Zhao's Mansion.
Changsun Wuji also eagerly planned to enter the palace.
It is different from Cheng Yaojin’s calculation.
He went to the palace to ask Li Shimin to make the decision.
If he just lost the fight, he wouldn't be like this.
But damn, Changsun Chong was slapped hundreds of times by Cui Shenji, and he was almost stunned by the slaps.
After returning home, he yelled like a madman and kept clamoring to cut Cui Shenji into pieces.
Even his father's advice was of no use.
We can only go to the palace and ask His Majesty to administer justice.
The palace!
Li Shimin was also anxious. Just now, the eunuch came to report that his two precious daughters were missing.
Upon further investigation, we found out that the two of them had sneaked out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The Tang Dynasty is now peaceful and the people are at peace. Chang'an is at the feet of the Emperor. No bandit dares to take action." Wei Zheng stroked his beard with a calm expression.
"What Xuancheng said is absolutely true, but I'm still worried." Li Shimin sighed: "The two of them have never left the palace. What if they are bullied?"
"Who dares?" Wei Zheng's face was full of anger: "If you dare to bully the princess of the dynasty, Wei Chen will personally lead his men to kill them!"
"Xuancheng, you don't know, this daughter is different from my son."
Li Shimin began to share his parenting ethics: "My daughter is considerate and can make me happy, but my son is different and will make me angry all day long."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, and so is my uncle Yu. He got into a fight with someone yesterday and will cause trouble." Wei Zheng responded angrily.
But that hand involuntarily picked up the jade pendant around his waist, and then inadvertently waved it in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's eyes twitched as he watched.
Damn Wei Zheng, if you don't show off my jade pendant once, will you die?
"Xuancheng, I heard that your wife is pregnant again?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am still strong and healthy." When he said this, Wei Zheng straightened his back.
Being able to have another child at the age of fifty-four can be a boast for a long time.
"Yes, your uncle Yu is too out-of-the-box. One more child will give you more protection." Li Shimin pointed out.
Wei Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
He knew that he had gone too far and offended His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. I will discipline Shu Yu well from now on." Wei Zheng bowed and begged for mercy.
"Xuancheng, what are you doing?" Li Shimin hurriedly helped him: "I made a mistake and didn't pay attention to my wording."
Wei Zheng was a loyal minister and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
It was impossible for Li Shimin to really attack Wei Zheng, let alone for such a trivial matter as Wei Shuyu.
Next, there was another harmonious chat between the king and his ministers.
While they were chatting, Wang De came to report that Duke Lu and Duke Zhao wanted to see him.
"Xuan."
Li Shimin agreed to meet him.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Chong'er." As soon as he saw Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji immediately started crying.
"What's wrong with Chong'er?" Li Shimin asked doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, he was beaten unconscious by Cui Shenji and Wei Shuyu..." Changsun Wuji's eyes were red and he stared at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng's scalp suddenly became numb.
what's going on?
Didn't you agree not to fight?
Why did I just train yesterday and start again today?
"What does it mean to be unconscious?" Li Shimin asked again.
Changsun Wuji cried and explained Changsun Chong's symptoms.
"Wang De, please send the imperial doctor to the Duke Zhao's mansion to visit Xia Chong'er." Li Shimin ordered immediately.
The most important thing now is not accountability, but healing Changsun Chong.
Turning his head, Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin: "Zhijie, why did you come to me so late?"
"Your Majesty, my Huai Liang was also beaten by Wei Shuyu."
Cheng Yaojin looked at Wei Zheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Wei Zheng looked at Wei Shuyu with his eyes, nose and heart, but he kept scolding Wei Shuyu in his heart.
You cheating kid, are you planning to beat up the civil and military son of the entire dynasty?
It wasn't enough to beat up Choi Shin-ki just yesterday, now two more?
You said you were in a bad mood and beat someone up, dad can understand.
Then pick some soft persimmons and hit them.
What does it mean to specifically target the son of an important official in the imperial court? Do you think your father doesn’t have enough political enemies?
"Your Majesty, we have found information about the princesses."
At this moment, Li Junxian hurried in.
"where?"
Li Shimin asked anxiously.
"They are at Duke Zheng's mansion."
Duke Zheng's Mansion?
Isn't that my home?
Wei Zheng's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
It's over.
This cheating kid doesn’t think I don’t have enough political opponents, but he dislikes me for living too long, and wants me to go underground to accompany his grandfather...
