Chapter 0333: Clever tongue escapes danger, ruthless Li Er
Li Ling, Li Xu, and Li Chengye were actually already sleepy. They were not interested at all in the Nuo Opera Festival or Li Shimin's forced invasion of the Tai Chi Hall.
But when I saw my friends looking so excited and eager to pounce on them, they all stood up very loyally, stared at their eyelids that were about to droop at any moment, and came to Li Yuanji's side to accompany their friends to find them.
My friend's father.
Li Yuanji stretched out four fingers and asked each of the four little guys to pull one tightly. He also forcibly mobilized the Qianniu guards guarding both sides of the royal road. After surrounding him, he slowly walked towards where Li Shimin was.
Walk to the location.
Li Shimin came back at the right time.
When he forced his way to the high platform, he happened to see the Son of God, played by Li Jiancheng, receiving the divine seal symbolizing divine power from the god played by Li Yuan.
Li Shimin felt a surge of hot blood, which suddenly surged to the top of his head. His eyes turned red instantly.
Yang Wenqian's head, which he was holding in his hand, was hit hard on the high platform.
After a muffled bang, Yang Wenqian's head split open on the high platform, splattering half of Li Jiancheng's face with blood.
Li Yuan opened his mouth, feeling a little guilty, as if he had been caught stealing sex, and didn't know how to face his furious son.
Li Jiancheng looked shocked, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Although he had been fighting openly and secretly with Li Shimin before, he even had the idea of killing Li Shimin many times.
Li Shimin estimates that the same is true.
But on the surface, everyone has always been friendly and harmonious. Not only did they never blush, but they also never quarreled.
Li Shimin suddenly lost his temper, and he didn't know how to face it. "Li Shimin, you are so presumptuous!"
Just when the people on the high platform were shocked by the furious Li Shimin, Li Gang suddenly took off the mask on his face and roared angrily at Li Shimin.
"Master Li..."
Li Shimin still had a little respect for Li Gang. Although he was in a rage, he did not lose his mind and did not take his anger out on Li Gang.
Li Gang didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish what he said, and shouted angrily, "Don't call me Master Li! I don't have students like you who ignore etiquette, disrespect your father, and disrespect your elder brother!"
Li Shimin had veins popping on his forehead. He tried hard to control his emotions and said, "Master Li, this is a family matter in our family."
Li Gang took a step forward and angrily shouted again: "Family matters should be discussed in private instead of making trouble at the Nuo Opera Festival!"
"Yes! The most important thing for the country is to sacrifice to the Rong. The Nuo Opera Festival is a major matter for the country. How can you do it arbitrarily because of your own selfishness?"
An old man not far from Li Jiancheng took off his mask, stared at Li Shimin, and echoed Li Gang's words.
Wei Zheng, who was behind the old man, also took off his mask after the old man finished speaking, walked up to Li Yuan, bowed solemnly, and said angrily: "I am impeaching His Highness the King of Qin for destroying the Nuo Opera Festival and ignoring etiquette."
I have no father and no respect for my elder brother. I beg the saint to punish me!"
Li Yuan finally came to his senses amidst Wei Zheng's almost roaring impeachment sound.
He took off the mask on his face, crushed a corner with a bang, stared at Li Shimin with his body trembling and asked, "Shimin! Are you going to rebel against me?"
These words are very serious.
It can almost be said that this is the most important thing Li Yuan has ever said since Li Shimin grew up.
If it had been in the past, Li Shimin would have jumped off his horse immediately, prostrated himself at Li Yuan's feet without hesitation, and said frankly that he had no objection.
But today, Li Shimin did not back down, but faced Li Yuan's questioning.
"My son will never rebel against his father. He just feels that his father treats him unfairly!" Li Shimin said like a low growl.
Someone wanted to reprimand Li Shimin, but Li Yuan stepped forward and asked again: "When did I treat you unfairly?"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth, slowly lowered his head, and said nothing. There are some words that can only be spoken, but cannot be said clearly.
In this era where ethics and education are respected, if you keep some words in your heart, you will be the right one, but if you say them out, you will be unreasonable.
For example, Li Shimin wanted to tell everyone that Li Yuan had promised him the title of prince many times, but later he reneged on his promise.
But he could only think about it, not talk about it.
Because saying it out loud would be tantamount to accusing Li Yuan of not keeping his word.
This has a great impact on Li Yuan's prestige, and Li Shimin himself will bear the name of unfilial piety. The reason is that he committed injustice against his father. "Tell me, tell me when did I treat you unfairly?"
Li Yuan didn't know whether he was confused by Li Shimin's anger or because he expected that Li Shimin didn't dare to say anything, so he continued to chase Li Shimin and question him.
Li Shimin said in a difficult tone: "Does father really want his son to tell me?"
Li Yuan's whole body was shaking even more violently. He stared straight at Li Shimin and growled: "Don't call yourself a son. Just call yourself a minister. I don't have a arrogant son like you."
Li Shimin's face suddenly became very ugly. Li Yuan said again: "You can speak freely!"
Li Jiancheng took this opportunity and finally spoke, "Shimin, why don't you admit your mistake to your father yet?!"
Li Jiancheng seized this opportunity very well and fully proved to others around him what it means to be a good brother and what it means to be a good son.
"My son..."
"Your Highness, have you been out fighting for many days without rest, and your mind is a little confused? The Nuo Opera Festival is an annual festival to worship the gods. How can you trespass?"
Li Shimin opened his mouth with difficulty to speak, but Fang Xuanling suddenly opened his mouth and asked him questions. Li Shimin glanced at Fang Xuanling and began to struggle in his heart. He knew why Fang Xuanling said such things at this time.
He also knew that when he was furious, he would act recklessly, which would only do him harm but no good.
But he just wasn't willing to do it.
He was unwilling to give up so much and still not get recognition from Li Yuan.
Not willing to give up, he almost risked his life, but Li Yuan firmly placed the position of prince under Li Jiancheng's ass.
Unwilling to be played like a monkey by Li Yuan again and again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not willing to let Li Yuan go behind his back, he secretly gave everything to Li Jiancheng.
"Your Highness, you didn't drink to keep out the cold, did you? If you drank, go down and sober up quickly, and then admit your mistake to the saint after you sober up."
Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin was struggling in his heart and asked again.
In Fang Xuanling's view, it was just a sacrifice and not worthy of Li Shimin's anger.
If Li Shimin fights with Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng to the end, it will only be Li Shimin who gets hurt. Maybe in the end, the good situation in his hands will be completely ruined.
What does the handover of divine seals at the sacrifice represent?
In the eyes of the prince, in the eyes of the saint, it may represent a symbol of orderly inheritance. But in his eyes, it is just that. As long as Li Yuan does not die, Li Jiancheng will be the prince. As long as Li Jiancheng lives If he is the prince, Li Shimin will have the opportunity to compete for that position.
Besides, even if Li Yuan dies and Li Jiancheng ascends to the throne, so what?
With the current strength of the Qin Palace, even if Li Jiancheng goes up, Li Shimin can pull him down.
So there is no need to confront Li Yuan in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
"Hehehe, His Highness must have drunk too much, otherwise he would not have been able to break in here."
Hiding in the crowd, Cheng Yaojin, wearing an extremely ugly mask, suddenly started laughing and talking.
But among all the people present, he was the only one smiling, which seemed very awkward. Some people who didn't like him even glared at him, but he seemed not to notice.
"I'm not confused, and I didn't drink." Li Shimin suddenly spoke amidst Cheng Yaojin's laughter.
Cheng Yaojin's laughter disappeared instantly, and Fang Xuanling's eyes widened in horror. Li Yuan's face completely changed, and his hands began to tremble.
Everyone present could see that Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin were singing along to help Li Shimin find a way out.
The reason why no one stopped was because in this situation, once the father and son had a quarrel, there would be no way to end it.
In the end, he will definitely have to deal with Li Shimin severely.
Everyone present knew that he loved his son, so some people who wanted Li Shimin to die could not hold on to Li Shimin at this moment.
Otherwise, when he disposes of Li Shimin, he will definitely settle the score later.
Everyone present, whether they were willing or unwilling, were silently cooperating with Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin to find steps for Li Shimin.
He originally thought that with Li Shimin's intelligence, he would immediately come down the steps after his mind cleared up.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin not only did not come down, but actually went a step further. Do you want to fight him to the death? Do you want to break up with him?
"Where is that bastard Sanhu?!"
This was the only sentence that came to Li Yuan's mind when he faced this situation.
In this situation, the only one who can help him, Li Shimin, and everyone else is the unfilial son Sanhu.
As long as Sanhu makes a big fuss, muddies the water even more, and suppresses Li Shimin, everything will be solved easily.
"Father treats his children unfairly!" Li Shimin spoke again. Li Yuan's face turned livid.
The expressions of other people also changed drastically.
Li Shimin didn't care about everyone's reaction, and still said: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a total of five Nuo opera festivals have been prepared. In previous years, I was away on expeditions and had no chance to accompany the sacrifices. This year, I hurriedly returned to Chang'an City just to
Accompanying the Nuo Opera Festival. But my father only brought his eldest brother with him, but not me. Could it be that in my father's heart, only my eldest brother is your son, and am I not your son?"
Li Yuan only felt that his head was kicked by a donkey, and he was stunned in place with a buzzing sound.
Li Jiancheng, as well as other royal family members, civil and military officials, also looked at Li Shimin with wide eyes.
Li Shimin's change was so fast that no one could accept it for a while.
"My son also wants to stay with his father and worship the gods with his father. He also wants to pray to the gods in all directions for the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty. He wants to contribute to his father's work and to pray for the gods of the Tang Dynasty."
The people of the Tang Dynasty did their best. But why didn’t the father bring his sons and ministers with him?"
"…"
"My son is at fault for trespassing on the Nuo opera festival this time. In order to make up for his fault, I offered Yang Wenqian's head as a sacrifice. I don't think the gods from all directions will blame my son."
"…"
"If the gods from all directions feel that Yang Wenqian's head is not enough to quell their anger, I am willing to cut his flesh to serve the gods."
"…"
As he spoke, Li Shimin took out the horizontal knife from his waist without blinking and began to cut the flesh on his arm.
