Ancestral hall, midnight.
The ancestral hall was still as bright as day, but it was quiet. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the tiles outside.
Wang De had been waiting outside the ancestral hall. It was raining and he was shivering from the cold.
But this is a new task given to him by His Majesty. He must watch Li Ke kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and ask for forgiveness from the ancestors of the Li family.
Li Ke knelt down and his eyelids began to tremble, so he lay down on the futon and fell asleep quickly. He was the only one suffering.
The other side.
Changsun Wuji arranged for the housekeeper to send 1.2 million yuan to the Prince of Shu's palace in batches, and then quickly entered the palace to plead guilty to Li Shimin.
He has been kneeling for three hours now. He feels that his knees are no longer his own, but His Majesty still doesn't see him.
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister failed to teach his son well, which has led to a big disaster now. I beg your Majesty to punish him."
Changsun Wuji repeated this sentence over and over again.
The lights in Tai Chi Palace went out, which meant that His Majesty had left Tai Chi Palace.
Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out why His Majesty didn't see him?
According to the usual practice, as long as he kneels here to plead for mercy in this kind of matter, Your Majesty will forgive this mistake in view of his dedication and dedication.
The King of Shu has changed his mind, which means that the matter is over. It does not make it difficult for His Majesty, but also takes into account the majesty of the royal family.
By punishing his eldest grandson's family again, His Majesty won the hearts of the people of the world, but that was not the case.
"Has the situation changed?"
But Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out what happened.
Just when Changsun Wuji was disheartened and ready to go to find the queen, a young eunuch came to deliver a message, asking Changsun Wuji to go to Liangyi Hall to talk.
"conversation?"
Changsun Wuji was even more confused.
He followed the young eunuch to the Liangyi Hall. In the main hall, Li Shimin and Queen Changsun were sitting on chairs, with refreshments in the middle and a seat reserved.
Li Shimin's face was expressionless, but Queen Changsun's face was livid. She had been staring at Changsun Wuji since he came in.
"The guilty minister, Sun Wuji, has met your majesty and the empress..."
"I feel ashamed. I shouldn't have come to embarrass Your Majesty and Your Majesty, but after all, the treacherous son is my own biological child, and I can't bear to give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man..."
Changsun Wuji knelt on the ground, and while talking, he began to wipe his tears and staged a painful scene.
Empress Changsun felt angry and distressed when she saw her eldest brother looking so haggard, with a few more gray hairs, but it was not her time to speak at this moment.
"Auxiliary engine, get up, what are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister dare not get up. Please remove the guilty minister's official position and demote him to his hometown, so that the guilty minister can live a long life!"
Li Shimin stood up slowly and helped Changsun Wuji, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
Then he said coldly: "In this matter... my traitorous son was also at fault, but fortunately he was not killed by them, so let's leave it as it is!"
"Auxiliary machine, it's late at night. You should go back and have a good rest. We have to discuss military and national affairs tomorrow!"
"His Majesty……"
Changsun Wuji burst into tears and knelt on the ground again.
Li Shimin glanced at the queen, turned around and left. Changsun Wuji, an old man, had to be dealt with more properly by Guanyin.
"I respectfully send you off to the Holy Emperor!"
After Li Shimin left, Empress Changsun said nothing with a cold face. She was really angry.
"Empress..."
"Brother, do you still remember when you were a kid? Let's listen to my uncle's reasoning together..."
"Although you are now in your forties, your work is getting worse and worse than before..."
Changsun Wuji seemed to have returned to his childhood. Their father was a general in the Sui Dynasty and had been fighting the Turks in the north. In his impression, it seemed that he only came back once every few years.
Sometimes, after passing through the house three times without entering, his mother would lead them to stand at the city gate and just say a word or two to their father.
Later, his father died of illness in northern Xinjiang due to years of fighting.
He and his sisters were raised by his uncle Gao Shilian, who educated and raised them like a father.
Now his uncle Gao Shilian is compiling the "Clan Genealogy" for His Majesty. It seems that he has not seen his uncle in person for half a year.
For a moment, I felt a little indebted.
"I wonder if you still remember, but my uncle once said: Live in a low profile, do things in a high profile, be like water, and do things like mountains."
"Official, of course I remember!"
"No, you have forgotten. I have reminded you time and time again that our grandson's journey has not been easy. We should be content when we get what we deserve."
"Back then, when you became the Minister of Public Affairs, I repeatedly stopped Your Majesty and gave you a prestigious official position."
"Why? It's because the eldest grandson's family is a relative of the emperor, and the exclusive power of a foreign relative will not end well."
"I asked you to educate your children well, but what do you call the results you educate?"
"If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you do. He doesn't think about progress all day long and is idle. It's a pity that I will marry Changle to him!"
"I even regret it a little now."
"There is a saying among the people that wealth cannot last more than three generations, and poverty cannot last more than five generations. Now that the eldest grandson's family has grown into such a big family, you have succeeded in starting a business. But starting a business is difficult, and keeping it is even harder."
"With Chong'er as he is now, do you think you can keep your family business?"
"Hearing about this today made me furious. I don't even know how to deal with it. Do I really want to kill my relatives out of justice?"
"That's it for now. I hope my brother will think more about it after he goes back..."
After Queen Changsun finished speaking, she sighed and turned around and left.
Changsun Wuji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt that his whole body was soaked. He was not afraid of anyone but his sister.
A knife and a mouth can kill people!
However, Changsun Wuji also learned one thing from his sister's words. His Majesty was very dissatisfied with his eldest grandson's family. If he didn't keep a low profile, he might be punished.
"This treacherous son, please go home and give him a good beating to vent your anger. I've had enough for you!"
…
[biu, congratulations to the host, the pit leader Sun Chong has 1,199,809 passes, and the task has been exceeded. 】
Li Ke, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the mechanical sound of the system.
He got up from the ground in a daze, and then realized that the mission was completed.
[Please host choose to unlock any background. 】
Li Ke sat up and looked at the system interface. It was like a scratcher. The surface was covered with a layer of gray. As long as the gray on top was scratched off, any background would appear below.
Li Ke was a little excited. It was like a lottery. What he worried about most was that he would get something useless. BIquGe.biz
Li Ke's consciousness flashed, and one of the rectangular frames was slowly scraped open.
[biu, congratulations to the host, you have obtained 108 shadows of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan. 】
[Shadow: It is a secret army created by Emperor Li Yuan during his reign. They are highly skilled in martial arts, decisive in killing, and good at assassination, lurking, hiding, and collecting intelligence...]
[After Li Yuan abdicated, the Supreme Emperor ordered that these people be disbanded and hidden in 108 Square in Chang'an City. They have not been used for many years. 】
Li Ke was secretly shocked. Li Yuan had abdicated for many years, but he still had a secret weapon against Li Shimin. This was because he didn't trust Li Shimin at all!
This can't be blamed on Li Yuan, it's really Li Shimin who went too far.
"System, how can I claim this secret army? I need to give it a token or something, right?"
"I can't just go to Li Yuan and ask for it directly, right?"
"Then what do I say?"
"Are you going to say, Grandpa Huang, give your private army to your grandson, and your grandson will kill your father to show you...
