Li Shimin was shocked and quickly went out to bow down.
"To inform my father, Yang Wenqian is not afraid of his sons, but of his father and the master of the Tang Dynasty."
He said respectfully,
"The hearts of the people in the world are toward the Tang Dynasty. When the people along the way heard about the arrival of Master Wang, they all rushed to welcome him. When the rebels saw Master Wang, they naturally surrendered after hearing the news."
"Yang Wenqian knew that he was unpopular, and even his soldiers had turned against him. Naturally, he was extremely frightened. Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for him to choose to commit suicide."
"Therefore, I just relied on my father's reputation to fight a smooth battle. If I say that I have merit, it is also my father's merit. I will never dare to be greedy for God's merit!"
After saying this, he bowed his head.
This gesture can be described as extremely humble, and one cannot find any fault with it.
Even Li Yuan, who was deliberately looking for trouble, his expression softened slightly at this moment.
Regardless of anything else, just these compliments were very pleasant to hear.
"Well, I'm very pleased that you think so. It also shows that you are really mature."
Li Yuan said in a deep voice,
"I accept the destiny of Heaven. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, wherever Wang Shi goes, the enemy army will be defeated! This time, of course, it is no exception."
"However, you still have merit after all."
Listening to the bastard words coming out of his father's mouth, Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable.
Because of destiny, the enemy army was automatically defeated?
I walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire and fought between life and death. Are they all fake?
Why didn't I see that the enemy army was immediately defeated as soon as I arrived?
If that's really the case, why don't you try it?
At this moment, he somewhat understood those frustrated generals in history.
His illustrious military exploits were so lightly wiped away.
Any general who was fighting to the death on the battlefield would feel a chill in his heart when he heard the emperor say this!
"Tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?"
Li Yuan randomly took out a memorial, glanced at it casually, and said casually.
Li Shimin shook his head.
"This is a matter that belongs to the sons and ministers, and there is no need for reward from the father."
He said,
"I said, in terms of merit, this is also your credit, father. How dare I ask for a reward if I have no merit?"
Li Yuan closed the memorial and smiled.
"Do you really think so? If I really don't reward you, won't you feel unfair?"
He looked at his Erlang and asked.
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Of course not!" He said without hesitation.
Although he was quite dissatisfied with his father's previous words, to be honest, he really didn't care about Ping Yang Wen's credit for doing this little thing.
"Haha... you don't know how, but someone is aggrieved for you!"
Li Yuanpi smiles but doesn't smile.
"I heard recently that someone in Tiance's house is quite dissatisfied with me and has repeatedly fought against you!"
"Do you know this?"
Li Shimin was stunned again, but at the same time, an ominous premonition also rose in his heart.
"who?"
He said blankly,
"My son, I don't know!"
"You really don't know?" Li Yuan's face turned cold and he asked again.
"My son, I really don't know!"
Li Shimin's face became anxious, he cupped his hands and said,
"Father, please make it clear!"
Li Yuan snorted coldly and stood up from the dragon chair.
"Since you want me to make it clear, I will make it clear to you!"
He waved and said,
"Bring people in!"
After giving an order, the eunuch led a man in civilian clothes in.
The man lowered his head, especially not daring to look at Li Shimin, looking guilty.
"This is your servant in Tiance Mansion!"
Li Yuan said coldly,
"He was the one who reported that someone in your Tiance Mansion criticized the imperial court and slandered the emperor!"
He pointed at the commoner boy and ordered:
"Come on! Tell what you reported and let King Qin listen carefully!"
When the emperor gave the order, the boy's two sides immediately started to tremble. How could he dare to disobey?
Just listen to his trembling voice:
"My maid... My maid was working in Tiance's mansion a few days ago, and happened to hear Lord Du Yan, a soldier who joined the army, talking."
"I didn't want to eavesdrop, but I seemed to hear the words "Emperor" and "His Royal Highness the King of Qin" in a trance. There seemed to be some resentment in the words. I was frightened and listened to everything..."
All the ministers were shocked.
This is the time to explode a big melon!
The key is to expose it at the court meeting instead of solving it in private?
Could it be that...the emperor is going to take action on King Qin? !
But... why is this? Isn't it the prince who is involved in the rebellion?
For a time, the ministers had various thoughts and speculations...
Li Jiancheng, who was on the steps, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at this moment, and glanced at Li Shimin with some pleasure.
really!
Second brother, second brother, you didn’t expect that the target of your father’s final attack would be you, right?
Your life and death is at stake!
Enjoy!
At this moment, when Li Shimin, who was at the center of the storm, heard the name "Du Yan", his tense expression relaxed a little.
There was only one sentence in his mind——
Drown one person and bring peace to everyone!
As long as he resolutely abandons the chess piece Du Yan, he will be safe and sound without any mistakes.
Just have this kind of crazy confidence!
The source of confidence is, of course, the ingenious calculations of Mr. Xu Fenglei, a poverty-relief man.
Since he can even calculate this step, he must be able to calculate it accurately!
"Tell me everything you heard." Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin who lowered his head and said softly.
"yes."
The commoner boy lowered his head and said,
"Du Yan seems to be very dissatisfied with His Majesty, saying, what can I say... The emperor is ignorant and ignorant, he only knows how to enjoy himself in Chang'an; he is nepotistic and only promotes those close to him, but is stingy with rewards for those who are truly meritorious."
"As a result, the administration of officials is chaotic and corruption is rampant! He is really not a wise and wise king!"
Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed!
The boy continued:
"He also said... King Qin has great military exploits and conquered most of the Tang Dynasty, but it is really unfair that he cannot become the prince! With King Qin's talents, he is completely qualified for the position of prince, even, even..."
Li Yuan's face turned completely dark.
"Even what?" he pressed.
"I dare not say..." the young man said timidly.
"Say!" Li Yuan almost growled.
"Even managing politics is more than enough! Therefore, he feels aggrieved for His Highness King Qin!"
Under questioning, the boy finally told everything.
And these words were indeed shocking, and all the ministers were so frightened that their eyes widened!
Damn it... Isn't this too bold to say?
Don’t want your head anymore? !
But while some ministers looked surprised, they also felt admiration for Du Yan.
good!
Damn, well said!
The emperor was nepotistic. He repeatedly awarded rewards to Pei Ji and others who had no merit, and promoted them to high positions, but he was stingy about rewarding meritorious officials!
He was just greedy for pleasure, but he didn't care so much about government administration and government affairs, which led to all kinds of chaos!
Although Du Yan's words are rebellious, they are true!
Of course, while they were enjoying themselves, they were also worried about Li Shimin.
Looking at the emperor's livid face, one can tell that His Highness King Qin is about to suffer something serious...
