The next day.
In the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan held the memorial in his hands and studied it carefully.
What he held in his hand was a military report from Li Daozong, the governor of Lingzhou.
Snapped!
"The ghost is still lingering and is ready to move again."
Li Yuan collected the memorial and frowned, saying,
"Why is this Jieli so crazy every day?"
According to reports from Li Daozong and Li Jing, a main force of the Turks began to gather troops in the direction of Lingzhou.
Its intention is obvious!
This annoyed Li Yuan.
It's like your neighbor who hangs out in front of your house with a knife every day instead of doing business, and destroys the wall of your house whenever he has something to do.
If you're not careful one day, you might rush in and kill someone!
When encountering this situation, there are only two solutions:
Or just draw out your weapon and beat the hell out of him, and have a head-on confrontation with him!
Or move...
Li Yuan was very torn. He was slightly leaning towards the latter, but he felt that he couldn't swallow this breath.
But if he wanted to fight, he had already ordered the disbandment of all the soldiers in the world, and it was difficult to gather so many troops at once.
Besides, if we really want to fight the Turks, we must attack from multiple fronts, with the clan kings Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong as the main attack, and generals such as Li Jing and Xu Shiji as cooperators. Only then can we have the capital to fight.
At this time, a handsome man who can take charge of the overall situation becomes particularly important...
Just as Li Yuan was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the back hall:
"Your Majesty, this old servant has roughly investigated the matter."
The figure of the lean eunuch emerged from the darkness.
"Um?"
Li Yuan's thoughts were interrupted, but he wasn't annoyed at all. He waved his hand and said,
"Talk about it."
The lean eunuch bowed and said:
"The old slave visited Shengpingfang and asked the Yi guards patrolling the streets in detail. One of them was the witness who saved Du Ruhui."
"According to what he said, he saw Du Ruhui lying in a pool of blood at that time, with club wounds all over his body, and his mount was also beaten and bruised. This was definitely not the work of one person, it must have been done by several people, or even ten people Caused by armed group fighting."
"And the location where he is is indeed in front of the Yin family. As for whether Yin Ah Shu instigated the beating, I am not sure."
Li Yuan's eyes narrowed.
"What about Yin Ashu?" He asked softly, "How is his injury?"
The lean eunuch shook his head.
"The door of Yin's house is closed and no one is allowed in or out. Only the servants and maids go out to buy groceries in the morning."
He said,
"According to what they said, Yin Ashu is indeed lying on the bed and needs to be fed every day. As for the extent of the injury, I don't know, and further investigation is needed."
Li Yuan nodded.
"That's all, you don't need to investigate this matter any further."
He waved and said,
"That's it."
"Yes." The lean eunuch responded, bowed and then retreated.
Da da.
Li Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the chair, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until a message came from outside the hall:
"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin wishes to see you."
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows. Sit up straight.
"Didn't we just meet yesterday? Why are you here asking to see me again today?"
He hesitated for a moment and said,
"Let him come in."
Word spread outside the palace that the eunuch had received the order, and he immediately said loudly:
"Xuan, the King of Qin has an audience!"
Li Shimin wore a robe specified by the prince and dusted himself off.
He straightened up his appearance, climbed the steps step by step, slowly crossed the threshold, and entered the hall.
"See you, Father." Li Shimin bowed and saluted.
"Shimin, you..."
"Um?"
Li Yuan raised his head slightly and was about to say hello, but was suddenly stunned.
"you……"
He pointed at Li Shimin's clothes and said with some confusion,
"What does this mean?"
This set of luxurious robes is usually only worn on important occasions, such as sacrifices and celebrations.
Why did you put it on today?
"Father!"
Li Shimin walked up to Li Yuan, whined, then knelt down with a thud and grabbed the ground with his head!
Li Yuan: "???"
"伱, what are you doing?"
He said hurriedly,
"Get up and talk to me if you have something to say!"
However, despite his persuasion, Li Shimin refused.
He banged his head on the floor tiles and shouted in pain:
"My son, it's a capital crime!"
Li Yuan: "..."
Which song is this sung from? !
Why can't he understand it...
"What capital crime? What have you committed?"
Li Yuan had no choice but to ask.
"My son..."
Li Shimin said with a slight sob,
"When my father severely punished Du Yan, my son was still stubborn and resentful."
"But after experiencing yesterday's incident, Erchen came to a profound realization and finally realized his serious mistake! It can even be said... Erchen is simply unforgivable!"
"Father, I am here to plead guilty..."
"Father, please punish me!"
Bang bang bang!
He shed tears and Bang Bang kowtowed several times without any ambiguity.
And these words and this manner also caught Li Yuan a little off guard.
Subconsciously, he believed that the incident had already passed. According to his nature, since the matter had been settled, he did not want to delve into it further.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin actually left here and blew himself up today?
Could it be that what happened yesterday... stimulated him too much?
For a moment, Li Yuan didn't know what to say.
Seeing his son crying and kowtowing, he couldn't bear it and couldn't help saying:
"OK OK!"
"Let him let go of the past. I have no intention of pursuing you."
"That Du Yan, I just think that he is crazy and blinded by lard, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Come on, get up, stop crying..."
His eyes were soft and he wanted to help Li Shimin up.
"Father..."
Li Shimin's eyes were red, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Yuan's thigh, crying,
"My father is so generous and kind to my son, and I... am so ashamed of myself!"
"I'm so ashamed!"
After that, there was another burst of violent sobs, and his appearance was completely imageless and very pitiful.
At this moment, Li Shimin is not like the all-powerful general Tiance, but a child who blames himself in front of his father for doing something wrong.
Li Yuan's heart suddenly softened.
"Okay, as you said yesterday, we are one family, and one family does not speak the same language."
He patted Li Shimin on the back and comforted him softly,
"I won't blame you."
"Actually, as long as you are respectful brothers and don't have any more disputes, just like you did when you were a kid, I will be happiest."
Li Shimin hummed and nodded heavily.
"My son has completely woken up... I will never argue with my elder brother again."
He took out a memorial from his arms at the right time, sniffed, then respectfully presented it with both hands, and said sincerely,
"This is my son's memorial. I ask my father... to read it!"
When Li Yuan heard the first half of the sentence, he was still cheerful and extremely happy. But when he heard the second sentence, his expression suddenly changed.
And when he saw clearly the cover of the memorial presented by Li Shimin, his expression changed even more!
"The Book of Begging for Domain"?
Li Yuan said in disbelief,
"Erlang! You...you asked me for a vassalship?!"
