When Li Erda and Queen Changsun came to Concubine Yang's palace, what they saw was not only a loving mother and a filial son, but also a happy one.
It was the guards, and the chamberlains knelt on the ground. The most important thing was that five or six young eunuchs pinned Prince Liang Li Min to the ground in the middle, and were whipped hard by Li Ke with a whip.
Li Min cried heartbreakingly, and Li Ke screamed heartily. He kept saying something, but they were far away and could not hear clearly.
Concubine Yang stood at the door with tears in her eyes and tried to dissuade her several times, but in the end she gritted her teeth and endured it.
After blocking Wang De's idea of reporting, Li Er was very curious about why his son, who usually acted stupid in front of him, was so angry today.
When the two of them got closer, they heard Li Ke curse continuously.
"Pa, a right whip leg, uh, no..."
"Pah, at the age of six, you dare to molest the palace maid, who taught you?
Pa, at the age of six, you beat up the chambermaid for no reason.
Damn, at six years old, you dare to injure someone.
Damn, at the age of six, you dare to use your power to oppress others and trample on their personality.
Pa, at the age of six, you dare to instruct the guards to snatch the palace maid to your bedroom.
Pa, if you were sixty years old, would you still want to turn the fiefdom upside down and affect the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?
Pa, if I don’t educate you today and let you know the rules, I won’t be your brother.
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap…”
The sound of a series of whips hitting the flesh made Li Er feel frightened. As a veteran on the battlefield, he often used whips to hit people.
How to hit someone painfully but not fatally, and how to hit someone painfully yet fatally? He could tell that Li Ke was using the former at the moment.
However, after learning the reason why Li Min was beaten, Li Er didn't intend to stop him. He wanted to see where it would go next.
At this time, the sound of the whip stopped, and Li Ke shouted angrily.
"Wang Xi, Wang Xi, where did he die?"
"Your Highness."
"Is the dark room I asked you to prepare ready?"
"Return to your highness, you are ready."
"Throw this ungrateful guy in. If anyone dares to let him out privately or talk to him, don't blame me for being ruthless.
By the way, you can go to Liangyi Hall to report to your father later and see how these bastards who are working for evil will be dealt with. "
Then Li Ke turned to look at Li Min, who was lying on the ground howling, and said viciously
"Now go to the dark room and reflect. When will you realize that you are wrong and reflect on yourself? When will you come out?
Otherwise, I would rather let my mother hate me, and I would also ask my father to deprive you of the throne and demote you to a commoner, so as to prevent you from harming the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. "
Li Min, who was still a little unconvinced in his eyes, immediately shivered in fear, whether he was being beaten or locked up in a so-called small dark room.
When he comes out, he is still a prince, enjoying all kinds of privileges and is very nourishing. As long as he works honestly from now on, he will be equally prosperous and wealthy.
But if he really wanted to fight against his elder brother, he might not really lose his identity as a prince.
Thinking of this, Li Min shuddered and cried louder.
"Brother, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. I will definitely listen to my mother's words in the future and not cause trouble to my father. Please don't take away my throne."
Li Erda and Empress Changsun looked at each other and saw a bitter smile in each other's eyes.
"It's true that the throne is so easy to exploit, so Li Ke just deceived this six-year-old kid."
But so far, Li Ke's decision has made Li Erda very satisfied. It is the duty of an elder brother to educate his younger brothers.
It is the duty of a son to leave the guards and chamberlains to his disposal. Li Erda said that if he got a perfect score of 100, he could give it 80 points, and there was still room for improvement in the remaining 20 points.
At this time, I heard Li Ke say again
"Brother Zhen, since you know you are wrong, then this beating will not be in vain. However, as a man and a prince, since you know you are wrong, you must be brave enough to bear the consequences.
Originally, I wanted to lock you up right away, but now that you realize your mistake, just have dinner with your mother and then reflect on it.
Think carefully about how much your mother has worried about you and how many times she has wiped your butt for you. "
Li Min, who originally thought he had escaped, suddenly fell to the bottom of his mood. Just when he was about to resist, he looked at his elder brother who was smiling broadly, and then at his mother who had tears in her eyes and was hesitant to speak.
Li Min sighed heavily, the future life would definitely be difficult.
"Yes, brother, I will be a good person in the future and won't let my mother work for me."
Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, helped Li Min up, and said with a smile, "You
"Well, it's okay. Remember what you said, otherwise don't blame me for beating you again. By the way, you should stay away from Lao Wu from now on. The little brat will lead the guards around the palace every day.
Sooner or later, you're going to get into trouble. From now on, you go to Hongwen Hall with me every day to go to school. "
Seeing Li Ke helping Li Min up, Concubine Yang who was standing aside quickly ran over and took Li Min's hand. She burst into tears and couldn't say a word, but her eyes were filled with heartache. Even the six-year-old Li Min also The feeling is very obvious.
Looking at Concubine Yang who was crying, Li Min felt aggrieved. It was not that he was complaining about Concubine Yang for not stopping her. If Concubine Yang hadn't stopped her in the first place, he would have been slapped with a board instead of a whip.
Li Min held back tears and said tremblingly
"Mother, my son has caused you to worry. Your son must study hard with his elder brother in the future and not let his mother worry about him."
Concubine Yang nodded with satisfaction, wiped away her tears and said with a smile
"Okay, okay, Mom, you've become sensible now. Let's walk around and let Mom see the injury on your back."
Looking at Concubine Yang and Li Min entering the room, Li Ke sighed heavily.
"What a loser a loving mother is, I don't know how long my beating will last."
Then, Li Ke said to Wang Xi beside him
"Wang Xi, now go and report to your father what is going on here. Report it word for word. Don't exaggerate or delete. Report it truthfully. Do you understand?"
"Here."
Li Erda and Queen Changsun, who were hiding aside, saw that the matter was over. Li Erda winked at Wang De.
Wang De immediately understood, cleared his throat and shouted
"Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."
Li Ke, who was about to enter the house, suddenly stopped, his thoughts racing rapidly.
"Damn, I let the emperor watch a big show, and I haven't paid for the tickets yet. It's a loss. If he knew that Li Er was hiding in the dark, he would have acted more seriously."
While his thoughts were racing, Li Erda and Empress Changsun had already passed by. The guards and chamberlains who were kneeling all over the courtyard quickly came to Li Ke. Before Li Ke could say hello, Li Erda looked at Li Ke with a smile and said
"Ke'er did a good job. My father is very satisfied. Let's go in and see this little guy Li Min. My father thinks that you didn't beat him lightly."
Li Ke said quickly
"Yes, Daddy."
When she turned to look at Queen Changsun, before Li Ke could speak, Queen Changsun said with a smile.
"This is all my family, please call me, Mother."
Li Ke did not refuse and said with a smile
"Yes, Mother."
Following the two of them, Li Ke slowly exhaled
"The first step is to bring in family ties and get it done."
