Li Junxian looked at Li Feng suspiciously and said, "Marquis Lantian, do you want to intercede for these East Palace guards?"

Li Feng nodded and said: "Exactly, I am a person who naturally hates seeing others die unjustly, so I want to beg for mercy on their behalf. I wonder if General Li can talk to His Majesty."

"Haha...haha..." Li Junxian laughed loudly.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but scolded: "Idiot, what is your purpose as father? Are you treating me as goods? What are you talking to my father about? Do you think this is a street transaction and you can bargain?"

Li Feng frowned and said: "Your Highness, why are you talking like that? I am interceding for you, and those people who are harboring injustice are your East Palace guards. Don't forget who they are killing for.

I'm begging for mercy. It's okay if you don't join me in begging for mercy, but you actually add insult to injury. Aren't you afraid that your group of East Palace guards will be disappointed?

Aren't you afraid that your reputation will completely collapse if this matter gets out? No one will be willing to take refuge in you, and there will be no officials in the court to speak for you.

Even your cronies will gradually alienate you, and may even stop working for you."

Li Chengqian sneered: "They are just a bunch of Qiu Ba, why should I care about them? What's more, haven't I already begged you? It's just my father's order, I can't disobey it."

What's more, as long as Gu is the prince, there are many people who come to curry favor with Gu, and Gu still likes this group of Qiu Ba. What's more, as long as Gu has a good relationship with the world's scholars, then this world will always be my kingdom, Li Tang.

You, an ordinary commoner, can actually become a marquis, which is already a virtue accumulated by your ancestors. Not only have you contradicted me again and again, but now you even want to disobey your father's will.

Seeing that you are getting impatient, Li Junxian, take him back to the palace and hand him over to your father, let him know how miserable the consequences will be for offending people who shouldn't be offended."

Li Feng looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief and said: "His Majesty did not destroy you as the crown prince. He probably loves you very much and hopes that one day you will understand and repent.

Now it seems that this is unlikely. I hope that His Majesty will give up on you soon.

General, I still hope to intercede on their behalf. If Your Majesty is willing to let them go, I will leave them to your Majesty's disposal."

"Leave it to your disposal?" Li Junxian looked at Li Feng in disbelief.

Li Feng nodded and said: "Yes, I have a great ambition, which is to let everyone in the world have clothes to wear, food to eat, a job, and money to spare.

In my eyes, these East Palace guards are a group of common people who have nothing. They are very miserable. If I don't plead for mercy, they will die.

This is more than 60 living lives. In your eyes, this may be just more than 60 lives, but in my opinion, they are more than 60 families.

They join the army just to make ends meet, so that their families can have enough to eat. They may be the only labor force in their families. If they die, their families will be finished.

Their parents, wives and children will starve to death because they have no income."

"They can go work." Li Chengqian said.

Li Junxian also nodded slightly, thinking that starving to death was unlikely.

Tang Jian was slightly touched by Li Feng's words, but he also believed that it was impossible for someone with hands and feet to starve to death.

Li Feng sighed and said: "They are all a group of people who have never experienced hardship. I dare ask, they are a group of old, weak, women and children. If they go out to work, who will want them?"

Even if someone wants them, have you ever thought about how much money they can earn every day and whether it will be enough for them to eat?

In addition, if they get sick, the entire family will be completely broken up because of the disease.

In order to treat their family members, they would borrow money. When the money was not paid, they would sell their sons, daughters, and even their wives. Is this still a home?

General Li, please bring my words to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty still wants to kill them, I have nothing to say, and they can only say that it is their fate."

"Haha..." Li Junxian laughed suddenly, "Well said, very well said. Your Majesty really did not misjudge you. You will indeed intercede for them."

He walked up to the guards of the East Palace and said: "Listen, His Majesty has decreed that from now on, you will no longer be the guards of the East Palace. You will become the slaves of Marquis Lantian and obey Marquis Lantian's arrangements."

The guards of the East Palace who were originally destined to die suddenly heard that they no longer had to die. They kowtowed one after another and shouted: Your Majesty is wise.

Li Feng was stunned and said: "What is going on? Why would Your Majesty give them to me?"

Li Junxian smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that your foundation is too shallow. Although you have been named Lantian Marquis, you still don't have your own fiefdom.

Your Majesty guesses that you must feel that you will be laughed at and looked down upon if you rush to the fiefdom without any guards.

So His Majesty arranged a hundred guards for you. It just so happened that these East Palace guards committed a crime. If you don't intercede, they will die.

But if you plead for mercy, they can live and become yours from now on."

"This is not fair. I have begged for mercy. Why doesn't my father forgive them?" Li Chengqian felt it was very unfair.

Li Junxian said: "Because the prince only asked once and then gave up. He gave up because he was afraid of offending His Majesty.

But Marquis Lantian is different. He didn't ask for mercy just once. Your Majesty has said that as long as Marquis Lantian can beg for mercy again and again, these East Palace guards will be given to Marquis Lantian."

"What if Gu Ye begs for mercy again and again?" Li Chengqian asked hurriedly.

Li Junxian looked deeply at Li Chengqian, sighed at last, and said: "Your Majesty also has a will. As long as the prince pleads for mercy again and again, your Majesty will pretend that this matter has never happened."

"Why is it like this, why is it like this..." Li Chengqian yelled hysterically.

"Prince, let's go with the minister. Your Majesty and the Queen have been waiting for a long time." Li Junxian said with a serious face.

Li Chengqian's face turned pale, and he immediately calmed down and stopped talking.

Li Junxian said: "Go back to the palace."

With an order from him, all the Imperial Guards put away their sabers, turned around, and left Yicui Tower in unison.

Li Junxian raised his hands to Li Feng and Tang Jian and said, "Lan Tianhou, Mr. Tang, take your leave."

"Farewell." Li Feng returned the greeting.

"I will go to the palace with you." After Tang Jian finished speaking, he arranged for the Jinwu Guards to go back, while he went up.

After Li Feng saw the two groups of people really leaving, his mood immediately improved. Although the scene at Yicui Tower was very embarrassing, it did not affect his mood.

At the scene, Li Feng instantly became the person with the highest official position, and he became the biggest person in charge.

"Yicui Building will be closed starting from today."
