Chang'an, inside Tiance Mansion.
A crowd of people gathered in front of the master bedroom door, but as soon as Li Shimin got home, he locked himself in the door and saw no one!
This behavior naturally made Changsun Wugou and the staff of Tiance Mansion anxious.
"Hey! What happened in court today? Why is Your Highness like this?"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said,
"Did His Majesty attack His Highness?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyebrows showed a hint of worry.
"Who knows, I am so worried..."
"This scheming fight is really too frustrating. It's better to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield! The scar on your head is no bigger than a bowl, and you don't have to fight with each other!"
Yuchi Gong slapped his thigh and sat on the stone bench with a depressed expression.
The battlefield is much simpler than the court!
"This is not an option. Even if you die, you must at least know what you are dying of. You must not be a fool!"
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice,
"Besides, His Highness is back in full force at least, and we haven't been arrested by the guards. This at least proves that it's not a dead end... and there is still room for relaxation!"
His brief analysis made everyone's expressions soften a lot.
Yes, at least not everyone has been arrested yet...
"You don't dare to shout, I will!"
Hou Junji clenched his fists and said firmly,
"If Your Highness gets angry, I will bear it alone!"
He was about to step forward, but was stopped by someone.
"slow."
Changsun Wuji paced back and forth in the courtyard, thinking for a long time, and finally said:
"I'd better call the princess to come. Your Highness may not be in a good mood at the moment. Only the princess can relieve it."
"You rough guys will only cause trouble."
Fang Du and others all nodded unanimously.
They are all rough guys and they don't know how to comfort people... It is indeed most appropriate for Changsun Wugou to shout at this moment.
As soon as Changsun Wuji turned around, he heard a "squeak" coming from behind him.
"No need to go to the princess."
Li Shimin slowly walked out of the house and said expressionlessly.
"See Your Highness!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately saluted.
"Get up."
Li Shimin walked up to everyone, waved and said,
"I know what you're going to ask."
"Forget it...there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Everyone was startled.
Why are you so secretive?
"First...well, let's talk about the good news first!"
Du Ruhui said decisively.
At this moment, morale is low and we really need some good news to cheer us up.
When Li Shimin heard this, he glanced at him.
"This is really not good news for you..."
He sat down casually and sighed,
"The good news is that Mr. Poverty Alleviation's six-word prophecy has indeed come true."
"The meaning of drowning one person and bringing peace to the people is that Du Fengju's father, Du Yan, was implicated by him and was exiled five thousand miles by his father on an inexplicable charge."
"The word "Yan" not only represents Du Yan, but also represents his sacrifice. After all, being exiled for five thousand miles is no different from death."
Generally speaking, there is still hope of survival after being exiled for three thousand miles, but it is equivalent to death for five thousand miles. Even if you get to the place, no one can live in such a bitter and cold place.
Du Ruhui's eyes widened slightly and he was speechless for a moment.
"As for the others, my father was not involved and did not pursue Yang Wenqian's rebellion."
Li Shimin looked at everyone and said softly,
"So, you're safe."
With the announcement, everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief and finally looked relaxed!
"This poor man is really a god! Hahaha, he is so accurate!"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but smile and said with reverence,
"I thought about this six-character prophecy all night yesterday, but I didn't expect it to mean this!"
"Bulls, really cows!"
Yuchi Gongye also said:
"I'm convinced by him too. This poverty-rescuing gentleman is not a charlatan, but a truly worldly master with real things!"
"No wonder he has such a bad temper, Master! I just need to be more patient when I see him in the future!"
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and smiled slightly.
"My auxiliary machine and I studied this six-character prophecy last night and figured out the meaning."
He stroked his beard and said,
"I didn't expect it to come true in the court today!"
"It seems that as Jingde said, there are indeed masters in this world. Even though the poor man is young, real geniuses often do not look at age!"
The other people also praised him one after another and dedicated all their kind words to Xu Fenglei.
They had nowhere to vent their joy at the aftermath of the disaster. They could only dedicate all their enthusiasm to Mr. Poverty Relief and worship him as a god!
Only Du Ruhui's beard trembled slightly.
As Li Shimin said, this is really not good news for him.
Du Yan is his cousin!
Although they are not direct relatives, they both work under King Qin after all, and the two have a close relationship.
When he heard that Du Yan had been exiled for five thousand miles, he knew that there was little hope for life, and Du Ruhui was inevitably saddened by this.
"Ke Ming, my condolences."
Changsun Wuji patted Du Ruhui's shoulder and comforted him.
Everyone also noticed Du Ruhui's emotions, and they all restrained their smiles and gave him comforting looks.
"Keming, Du Yan died for me and for everyone. I, Li Shimin, will remember this great kindness."
Li Shimin raised his hands towards Du Ruhui and said solemnly,
"His six relatives are all raised by Tiance Mansion, so don't worry about them."
"Don't be too sad."
Du Ruhui looked moved and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.
"Cousin Ke Ming, thank you for your grace!"
He said,
"Your Highness, there is no need to feel guilty. If you want to achieve great things, how can you not sacrifice your blood? If Du Yan is so valued by His Highness, he must be willing to die."
"In the future, I will also raise Du Yan's children as my direct biological children!"
Li Shimin nodded.
"Then what's the bad news, Your Highness?" Yuchi Gong couldn't help but ask.
After a moment of pleasure, when Du Ruhui said this, I suddenly felt that this was no longer good news, it was just about saving my life.
But now, there is one piece of bad news left...
"bad news……"
Li Shimin took a deep breath, glanced around the crowd, and said slowly,
"Today at the imperial meeting, my father reminded me that my age has come... It's time to go and become a vassal."
"As for the domain, he let me choose it myself."
As he spoke, he briefly described what happened in the court.
After the narration, everyone's eyes widened, as if they had been struck by lightning!
It was exactly the same as Li Shimin's expression when he heard this!
"What? Just Fan?!"
"Is the emperor going to kill the donkey?! Your Highness has worked so hard to conquer this country, and then he just throws it away?!"
"Damn it! The emperor is too..."
Yuchi Gong was furious and almost cursed his mother!
Several generals looked angry and filled with righteous indignation!
The world has just been settled, and the emperor would do such a thing. It is so unethical!
I'm really pissed off!
"Your Majesty, what you mean...is it because you have made up your mind and no longer consider passing the throne to your Highness?"
The mood of the civil servants was relatively stable. Fang Xuanling frowned and said,
"Even...want to downplay your achievements and reduce your power and military power?"
"Is it because of what happened this time?"
