"Oh, father, Yang Fan... Yang Fan, that bastard, beat someone..." Li Tai cried so hard that the fat all over his body shook.
My nose and tears were flowing, it was a complete mess, and I felt extremely aggrieved.
Li Shimin immediately became angry.
I was praising that boy just now, but I didn't expect that stick to get into trouble again.
Now he actually dares to hit the prince. This is a naked contempt for the imperial power.
Is this a big deal?
That kid beat up the Duke, the Fusang envoy, and even the King of Qi, Li You...
Seeing that your boy has done meritorious service to the court, I tolerated it without punishing him.
But now you dare to beat my favorite son.
Although your boy is very talented, it seems that he can’t survive without punishment!
This time, even if I, the King of Heaven, come, I won’t be able to do it.
"Li Junxian..." Li Shimin shouted at Li Junxian who was standing next to him.
Hearing this, Li Junxian stepped forward and said respectfully: "I'm here, I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
"Hurry up and capture Yang Fan. First, beat him with thirty big boards, then take him to the sky prison and wait for his punishment."
Seeing Li Tai's face twisted in pain, Li Shimin felt heartbroken and suddenly became furious. New and old debts came to his mind at the same time, and he wished he could kill that bastard Yang Fan with a knife.
At this time, Li Junxian had a chance to speak. He cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Fan and others have been detained outside by the ministers. How about bringing them in?"
Um?
Caught?
That’s not right!
Li Shimin was so furious that he didn't think much about it because he saw Li Tai being beaten just now.
No matter how stupid that stick is, it won't hit someone for no reason.
So he asked: "Do you know what's going on?"
Since Li Junxian dared to bring Yang Fan and the others, of course he had figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
After listening, Li Shimin fell silent.
What's this?
His own prince was actually jealous of a group of second-generation dandies from Chang'an in a restaurant.
It’s simply a fantasy!
You must know that Yang Fan and Li Tai will be brother-in-law and sister-in-law in the future.
"You, you usually seem to be well-behaved and sensible, but this time you are just too ridiculous. It's not what my father said to you. You are just a shepherd. What's the big deal? He has been redeemed and became a good man. Even if Yang Fan doesn't give, he can't force him. Go ahead and rob it. Not only is this a loss of duty, but it also hurts our feelings;"
"Yang Fan is not angry at standing up for his woman. If you come to me after being beaten, what's the use? I don't care..."
Li Shimin hated that iron could not become steel, and with a displeased look on his face, he scolded Li Tai directly.
This fifth child is good at everything, he is smart and knowledgeable, and the most important thing is filial piety. Li Shimin also thinks highly of him.
But this time, what he did was too outrageous and excessive, and he didn’t understand the ways of the world at all.
Although he is the emperor and holds the world in his hands, he can't force himself on him regardless of reason.
If you do this, wouldn't you become a fool? He must not be sprayed to death by the remonstrating ministers in the court.
Li Tai was a little confused. He hurriedly came to the palace to complain. He didn't get any support and was scolded instead. What's the big deal?
Instantly anxious, Li Tai stepped forward and hugged Li Shimin's thigh and begged: "Father, you can't ignore it! You should know what Yang Fan's temper is like. It's hard for anyone to deal with a Hun Bu stingy temper. "
"You have to do what you are sure of. Not only did the guy beat the emperor, but he also threatened that if the emperor didn't apologize, he would punish the emperor severely in the future. This didn't take my father seriously at all. "
"Also, that mallet beat the Minister of Rites until his nose started to bleed. He is still in a coma and beats the imperial official. He is so lawless and nothing more than a robber. I hope my father will punish him severely."
Li Tai was really aggrieved. He was a prince, but he was threatened by others.
If he was beaten by Yang Fan again, his face would be completely lost and he would become a shame to the royal family. He might as well die.
When Li Tai said this, Li Shimin agreed. Yang Fan was indeed a bastard. He was so courageous that he even dared to tease himself. If he beat Li Tai again, he would definitely do this.
What a headache.
It seems that he needs to be severely punished and taught a lesson.
If not, will this kid be able to change the world in the future? valley
Thinking of this, Li Shimin said to Li Junxian: "Bring those boys in for me..."
Here!
Then Li Junxian led Yang Fan and others into the hall.
At this time, Li Shimin was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, his heroic face as gloomy as water.
Li Tai's small eyes looked at Li Shimin from time to time, and he was very happy. He guessed that this was the rhythm of his father's going crazy.
The eunuchs standing solemnly in the hall looked down at their toes, not even daring to take a breath.
As Li Shimin's close servants, they naturally understood the emperor's temperament.
It seems that if someone is unlucky, all it takes is a spark to explode like an earth dragon turning over. Of course, none of them want to get themselves into trouble.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Shimin stopped suddenly and looked up.
Li Junxian strode into the palace, saluted and said loudly: "Yang Fan, Cheng Chumo, Li Jinghuan, Du He and Fang Yiai are here to wait for your majesty's remarks."
Li Shimin stared at Yang Fan and the others with a sullen face, without saying a word.
However, as soon as they entered the main hall, Yang Fan and others shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor! Long live the emperor!" The voices were loud and long, just like eunuchs delivering speeches before the court.
Li Shimin's anger had not yet been vented, and when he was thinking about how to scare the stick, he was stunned when he heard this.
Such flattery and praise make people feel very happy!
Officials of the Tang Dynasty were not allowed to kneel before His Majesty.
There is no fixed name for what you should call the emperor when you meet him.
As for kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times when meeting the emperor, that was only developed after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there is no such thing at all. Even if you say long live, it is a matter of later dynasties.
This word is so fresh!
Suddenly, Li Shimin's vanity was satisfied, and the anger in his heart reduced a lot.
Seeing the corners of Li Shimin's mouth curl up slightly, Yang Fan secretly smiled in his heart.
It had long been expected that Li Shimin had never seen such a high standard of etiquette. He secretly discussed it with Cheng Chumo and others on the road, and sang like this when he saw Li Shimin.
Everyone has vanity, and emperors are no exception.
It should be easy for someone like Li Shimin, who is full of vanity.
Just imagine, when we usually sit and chat with ministers, there will even be a guy like Wei Zheng who is very capable of bitching against him.
Suddenly receiving such high-level praise, his identity as the leader of the world was fully demonstrated in an instant.
I'm sure I'll feel relaxed, and even if there is anger, it will probably dissipate a lot.
Yang Fan knew that the matter of beating Li Tai this time was a bit serious. Since the blame could not be escaped, he wanted to give Li Shimin a high hat first.
You're right to say nice things. As long as you flatter him, maybe Li Shimin will be happy and he can be lenient when punishing him.
As for the clinker, Yang Fan and others had just finished their performance, and Li Shimin felt relieved when he saw the living historian next to him writing down notes.
Li Shimin was stunned for a few seconds, his face straightened, and then he became furious, pointed at Yang Fan's nose and shouted: "You guys are bowing down to me like this and saying flattering words, do you really think that I am a fatuous emperor like Emperor Tang of Sui Dynasty? "
"Such clever words and glib words must come from you. If you want to trap me in vanity, you are actually a traitor to the country!"
Seeing the furious Li Shimin, Yang Fan was dumbfounded.
What's happening here?
Didn't I just say long live long live long live long live?
If you weren't afraid of being angry with Cheng Chumo and the others, would you really think I was willing?
This becomes a traitor, right?
Yang Fan didn't know what to say at all, but he admired Li Shimin in his heart.
Vanity is human nature, who doesn’t have it?
But Li Shimin doesn't play this trick. What he wants is to rely on his wisdom, martial arts, culture, Taoism and military strategy to make his subordinates admire him from the heart.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a famous king through the ages. This is called domineering, the domineering power of an emperor through the ages.
At this moment, Yang Fan was convinced.
But Yang Fan was a little confused. What was the reason for those smiles on Li Shimin's lips just now?
Obviously very happy!
