Tai Chi Palace, go to the study room.
Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial and was somewhat dissatisfied with the newly sent memorial.
"Can the Tang Dynasty be slack now that it is rich? Even I am not slacking off! I should be warned!"
"Increase granaries in various places? Yes, but you have to consider the storage of grain..."
"The transfer silver of Fenglei Bank's Luoyang branch was robbed? Should such a thing be sent to me? Let the local government handle the case directly!"
"..."
He outputted for a while, obviously in a bad mood.
Although there are a lot of memorials and miscellaneous things on weekdays, Li Er is relatively patient.
Today, he clearly has little patience.
Therefore, these officials who sent the memorial were in bad luck.
At this moment, a voice came from outside:
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Grand Master Xu Fenglei would like to see you."
The visitor is Li Junxian.
Ever since the incident of the prince's archery incident, Li Shimin felt very unhappy. For some reason, he replaced all the eunuchs and maidservants with guards, as if to vent his emotions.
"What is he here for? To plead for mercy?"
Li Shimin said displeasedly,
"No! Let him go back!"
Li Junxian looked a little embarrassed.
"But Your Majesty...he came here with the Crown Prince."
"this……"
Li Shimin: "?!"
He stood up in a flash, so fast!
"Prince? Isn't the prince in the prison?!"
Li Er glared and said,
"Who allowed him to come out? Did I allow it?"
"Did Xu Fenglei release him without authorization?"
"Isn't this man so lawless! It's true that every master has a disciple! Li Chengqian did such a thing because of his master's instruction!"
Li Shimin was extremely angry at this moment and yelled at Xu Fenglei!
Naturally, Li Junxian didn't dare to say anything, didn't dare to refute, and didn't dare to respond. Anyway, he just kept silent...
Although it may be a bit silly to remain silent at this time, it is not wrong.
"Your Majesty, your scolding is too unpleasant, isn't it?"
Li Shimin was furious when he heard a voice coming in,
"Isn't it the fault of a son not to teach his father?"
"If your son has taken the wrong path, you are at least half responsible! When you scold me, you are scolding yourself!"
Swish!
Li Shimin and Li Junxian looked over together.
But Xu Fenglei took Li Chengqian's arm and walked into the study room.
"Who told you to come in? Get out!"
Li Shimin slammed the table and said angrily,
"roll!"
Snapped!
Xu Fenglei did not follow the instructions, but sat down on the chair.
"Chengqian, go and make a cup of tea for Master."
He ordered,
"It needs to be hot. If your father and I get into a fight later, you can have a handy weapon."
Li Chengqian: "..."
He lowered his head and did not look at his biological father, but he obeyed his master's instructions and went to make tea.
Li Shimin's brows twitched fiercely.
"Your Majesty, the last general...the last general will tell you first..."
How could Li Junxian stand such an occasion? He stammered and wanted to run away.
"You stand!"
Li Shimin ordered,
"There is also Changsun Wuji who is following behind, please come in too!"
"What are you looking at!"
Rustling.
Changsun Wuji walked in with a smile, looking a little embarrassed:
"See your majesty, see your majesty..."
Of course he wanted to be there to witness this kind of large-scale melon-eating scene!
The emperor and the grand master were competing against each other, which is exciting just thinking about it!
Xu Fenglei also stood up at this moment, cupped his hands and said,
"See Your Majesty."
He looked relaxed and showed no signs of restraint.
"Do you still have some refills?"
Li Shimin said angrily,
"You barged in without saying anything, and sat down without saying anything! Did I give you a seat? You don't understand any etiquette!"
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.
"I am a barbarian, a villager in the mountains, and I don't know etiquette."
Hey! I'll just mess it up!
If you say yes, that means I won’t refute or quibble.
Li Shimin; “#¥%……&*#”
He almost laughed at this guy!
But at this moment, Li Chengqian walked in silently and gave the tea to Xu Fenglei.
"Master, tea."
Xu Fenglei nodded, pointed at Li Shimin and said:
"Go and give it to your father."
Li Chengqian was obviously stunned for a moment.
He didn't want to face his father at this moment, let alone bring him tea.
"Go to your father. I am not thirsty as a teacher."
Xu Fenglei repeated it again.
Li Chengqian looked a little embarrassed, but he did not dare to disobey his master's order, so he could only lower his head, silently walked to Li Shimin, and put down the tea.
"Father...tea."
Li Shimin's expression softened slightly when he looked at his son's appearance as a doormat.
Looking at Xu Fenglei again, he was no longer so angry.
This kid still has some respect for himself.
Unexpectedly, just as Li Er calmed down, Xu Fenglei's words made his anger surge up again!
"Cheng Qian, let's treat him with courtesy first and then fight with him."
"Everyone is watching-"
boom!
Xu Fenglei slammed the table, glared at Li Shimin and said:
"Your Majesty, you have wronged the Crown Prince!"
"I think you must apologize to him, otherwise I, the master, must seek justice for him!"
As he said that, he even rolled up his sleeves!
Li Shimin: "!!!"
Li Junxian and everyone were dumbfounded.
Is this... Grand Master so brave? He really dares to challenge His Majesty?
I really don’t know how to write the word “death”?
In such a Shura field, even though he was a bystander, he started to tremble.
Just like the aftermath of a battle between emperor-level warriors can shock the onlookers to death, Li Junxian felt like he was going to be shocked to death!
Changsun Wuji, on the other hand, looked as usual.
He pulled Li Junxian over and whispered:
"Calm down, this is a small scene."
"When he was in Tiance Mansion, His Majesty and the Grand Master often quarreled over the issue of educating children, and even got into fights!"
"Where are you going? Just keep watching."
Changsun Wuji put on a calm and calm look, as if he was not surprised after seeing many things, which made Li Junxian feel a little more at ease.
At the same time, Li Junxian also felt great respect in his heart.
One point is for Changsun Wuji.
As expected of seniority! There is just so much to see!
Nine points are for Xu Fenglei.
He really dares to compete with His Majesty in the ring!
"What an injustice!"
Li Shimin's heart moved. Seeing how confident Xu Fenglei was, the depression in his heart dissipated a bit, but his face still looked cold.
"How have I wronged him?"
"He shot the bow and arrow! It hit my palace! If I had been walking in the courtyard at that time, he might have shot me to death!"
"That's it, tell me what's wrong with you?!"
Facing his question, Li Chengqian's lips trembled.
He wanted to argue, but under his father's pressure, the words could only be blocked in his heart, or at most surge up to his throat...he couldn't say anything anyway.
Fortunately, Master is his best mouthpiece!
"Of course it's unjust!"
Xu Fenglei was not afraid at all, rolled up his sleeves and said,
"You only saw Cheng Qian shooting arrows, but you didn't think about why he shot arrows!"
"You indiscriminately sent your closest son to prison! Do you know what a bad impact this will have? Do you know how much trauma this will cause to the child's heart?"
"You act recklessly without knowing clearly. How is this different from the previous Yang Guang? Do cousins also have blood inheritance and similar personalities?"
Li Shimin: "!!!"
He hates people saying he looks like Yang Guang!
This is a huge insult to the proud Li Er!
And Xu Fenglei's words were even more heartbreaking - because Yang Guang was his cousin!
"You fart!"
Li Er couldn't help but cursed and his eyes widened angrily.
"Yang Guang and I have never been even remotely similar!"
"Xu Fenglei, stop spouting nonsense here! Believe it or not, believe it or not, I will do it now! Just..."
The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth raised slightly.
"Would you like to learn from Yang Guang now?"
He was heartbroken again.
Li Shimin: "#¥%...&*@#!!!"
Seeing His Majesty's anger, his hands began to tremble. Even Changsun Wuji, who had experienced many battles, secretly smacked his lips at this moment.
This Grand Master...is playing with fire!
However, I have to say that the Grand Master has a very good grasp of His Majesty’s character!
With just this sentence of "Learn from Yang Guang?", he can be sure that His Majesty will never do any radical behavior again, shouting to beat or kill the Grand Master.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that we have settled down?
"Pu...Pu She."
Li Junxian tugged on Changsun Wuji's sleeves, his voice trembling.
"Master, is this really okay?"
In his opinion, Xu Fenglei was on the verge of committing suicide by repeatedly jumping around!
Do you really think that Your Majesty has no anger?
However, Changsun Wuji patted his shoulder to express comfort.
"It depends on the person...some people will be fine."
As he spoke, he thought of Wei Zheng.
To put it bluntly, it is the positioning from the beginning.
A troll like Wei Zheng is well established, so even if he speaks too harshly, Your Majesty will not be so angry that he will kill him.
And the Grand Master was also an expert invited by His Majesty from the Qinling Mountains in eight carriages from the very beginning. He also has his own style of speaking and doing things, which is acceptable to His Majesty, so there will be no problem.
If it were someone else who would do this kind of thing...such as himself.
Maybe he won't die, but His Majesty will definitely feel disgusted with himself.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji also felt a little envious of Xu Fenglei... But he also knew that he could not learn from it.
Let's lick the emperor and flatter him.
"All right."
Li Junxian nodded, he also saw the fact...it was indeed what Changsun Wuji said.
Your Majesty was not so angry that he wanted to shout at the Grand Master to kill him. Instead, he immediately became quiet after that question.
"well……"
Li Shimin smiled instead of getting angry and said,
"You don't need to provoke me, I will never be Yang Guang! I will give you a chance now!"
"Come on, tell me! No, let Li Chengqian speak for himself!"
Changsun Wuji and Li Junxian looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Take a look.
It is indeed true.
"Is Li Chengqian a puppy? Just get out of here if you tell him to, and just say what you want him to say?"
Xu Fenglei snorted coldly and said unceremoniously,
"Normally good people are very kind to their dogs! Some high-minded people treat their own sons so badly!"
Li Shimin's brows twitched again!
"Xu Fenglei, you're almost done!"
He said angrily,
"I have given you a chance now! I have not held you accountable for letting people go without permission!"
"My patience has its limits!"
This time, Xu Fenglei really stepped on Li Shimin's bottom line!
If this continues, he will really get angry!
However, Xu Fenglei ignored him at all. Instead, he hugged Li Chengqian and said:
"Your father is so unkind! Shall we go find the queen mother?"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up! He nodded repeatedly.
He doesn't want to stay with his father for a moment, he just wants to visit his mother!
But when Li Shimin heard this, he became anxious. He stood up and blocked the way of the two of them, saying anxiously:
"Don't go!"
If Maid Guanyin knew about this kind of thing, it would definitely make her sad! If something happens again then, it will really make matters worse!
Therefore, Li Shimin blocked the news and strictly prohibited anyone from spreading the news of the prince's arrest to the queen!
"Look, your father is afraid."
Xu Fenglei patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said,
"The more scared he is, the more it means we are doing the right thing!"
"Tell your mother about your grievance! Your mother will definitely believe you and seek justice for you!"
With that said, he was about to go out past Li Shimin.
"Li Junxian! Changsun Wuji, stop them!"
Li Shimin yelled and directly ordered the two people to form a human wall and not let them out!
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Xu Fenglei said displeasedly,
"You can't even let the child go to his mother's place?"
Li Shimin yelled:
"No! If you go like this, it will make the queen sad! No one can afford any situation when the time comes!"
Xu Fenglei sneered.
"You also know that it will make the Queen Empress sad? Then why did you arrest Cheng Qian and put him in a prison?"
he asked rhetorically.
Li Shimin's expression froze and he didn't know how to respond.
"Besides, even if we told you, you wouldn't believe it. Then we would say that Cheng Qian was just making it up."
Xu Fenglei said again,
"So, why not waste all your efforts here and go directly to someone who is willing to believe in your child? Isn't that good?"
Li Shimin; "..."
He slowly lowered his hand blocking the way.
"I know what you mean."
Li Er whispered,
"Let him speak, I believe."
Xu Fenglei has been doing this for a long time, calling for trouble and clamoring to go to the queen. In fact, he is expressing...
He has the confidence, Li Chengqian has the confidence - he was wrongly accused!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin himself was actually willing to believe... that Li Chengqian had been wronged by him.
He was ready to listen to his son's explanation.
"real?"
Xu Fenglei tilted his head.
"real."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian who had his head lowered and said, "No matter what, I cannot disturb your mother. This is my bottom line."
"This matter has a conclusion after all. Just tell me. Father, listen."
Li Chengqian slowly raised his head.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
