The horizontal knife made a gash on Li Shimin's arm, and Yin Hong's blood gathered into a line and rolled down the blade.
Li Yuan had come to his senses, and so had everyone else. But no one spoke. The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Seeing Li Shimin starting to cut back a piece of meat, Li Yuan finally said, "That's enough!"
Li Yuan's tone was full of anger and an inexplicable smell.
Li Yuan finally relented and could not help but watch his son mutilate himself in front of him.
Li Shimin stopped the knife without hesitation, stared at Li Yuan without blinking, and said in a deep tone: "It seems that God has forgiven me for my offense."
Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin fiercely with an indescribable expression, and shouted angrily, "Prepare a sacrificial robe for Erlang and continue the sacrifice."
Liu Jun hurriedly stepped forward and agreed, then trotted off to prepare sacrificial robes for Li Shimin.
The other royal family members, civil and military officials, kept looking between Li Yuan and Li Shimin, but said nothing.
Li Shimin broke into the palace tonight, disrupted the Nuo opera ceremony, and roared in front of the king. It can be said that he was extremely domineering and arrogant, and he ignored the etiquette and law, had no respect for his father, and disrespected his brother.
All things considered, it is a serious crime that can be punished seriously.
But Li Shimin could speak. With just a few words, he changed himself from a domineering and extremely arrogant person to a good person who respected his father and was willing to contribute to all the people in the world.
In addition, Li Shimin was decisive enough to cut the flesh when he was told, which immediately hit Li Yuan's weakness. Li Yuan let him go without hesitation.
It would be a bit outrageous for the royal family, civil and military officials to use what happened tonight to accuse Li Shimin and have Li Yuan punish Li Shimin severely.
What's going on? You dare not let go of the people I, Li Yuan, pardoned? Do you think I, Li Yuan, the emperor, am just a decoration?
"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, father is injured!"
When Li Yuanji and four little guys rushed to the edge of the high platform, they met Li Shimin smashing Yang Wenqian's head on the high platform.
In order to prevent the four little guys from being frightened by this scene, Li Yuanji specially covered their eyes. He waited until Li Shimin changed the subject before slowly letting go of his hand.
Then Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin cutting the flesh on his arm with a horizontal knife.
The little guy panicked all of a sudden, hopping nervously and worriedly, and asked Li Yuanji to take him there.
Li Yuanji had seen more than Li Chengqian, so he naturally knew that this was not the right time to take Li Chengqian there.
So he stroked Li Chengqian's head and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a small injury, it's not a problem."
Li Chengqian curled his lips, tears flashed in his eyes, and choked up: "But...but my father is bleeding."
Li Yuanji opened his mouth and was about to say a few more words of persuasion.
I saw Li Chengqian hugging his arms in a pitiful, weak and helpless manner, and said in a pleading tone: "Fourth uncle, can you help Cheng Qian?"
Li Yuanji's heart suddenly softened.
Li Yuanji is not a hard-hearted person, nor is he someone who can remain indifferent when faced with childish requests for help.
This was the first time Li Chengqian called him Fourth Uncle and the first time he asked him for help. He really couldn't bear to refuse.
In addition, in this situation, no one can help Li Chengqian except him, and it is not easy for him to refuse.
Li Yuanji sighed, pinched Li Chengqian's nose, and sighed: "I'm afraid of you, so I'll just help you once."
Li Chengqian didn't know whether to continue crying or be moved, so he simply hugged Li Yuanji's arm tightly, pursed his lips, and said thank you in a low voice with a crying tone, "Thank you, uncle."
."
Then he grabbed Li Yuanji's arm and ran towards where Li Shimin was.
Li Yuanji held hands with Li Ling, Li Xu, and Li Chengye, and let Li Chengqian drag him forward, dumbfounded.
Surrounded by the Qianniu Preparations, who were serving as sacrificial personnel, under the high platform, when they saw Li Yuanji appear one by one, they were also two big ones.
If you stop them, they won't be able to beat them, and they might even be beaten to the point of paralysis. If you don't stop them, their sin will be great.
Tonight they allowed Li Shimin to break into the stage and cause such a scene. They had already derelict in their duty.
If they allow Li Yuanji to break into the high platform again, and if Li Yuanji causes trouble again, they will be seriously derelict in their duties.
By then, they no longer need to guard the edge of the high platform, and can go home and wash their necks directly.
As for making a big fuss and venting their dissatisfaction before they die, they don't even dare to think about it.
If Li Yuan wants to kill you, just lead him to death in a polite manner. It's enough for you to die alone.
If you make trouble and offend Li Yuan, your three clans may suffer the same consequences as you. "Your Highness, what do you want?"
When Li Yuanji approached the high platform, a Qianniu guard stood in front of Li Yuanji and asked him about his purpose.
Behind him, a group of preparations and preparations were staring nervously at Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji smiled indifferently, touched Li Chengqian who was holding his arm, and said, "This kid was a little anxious when he saw that my second brother was injured and insisted on running over to have a look, so I brought him here."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanji looked at the nervous Qianniu Bishen and the left and right Bishen, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, I am not my second brother, and I will not cause trouble on such occasions.
"
When the guards heard what Li Yuanji said, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly. You are not the King of Qin, but when you make trouble, you are much more vicious than the King of Qin.
After all, the King of Qin still has some scruples and sense, and he doesn't dare to make too big a fuss. You are different. When you make a fuss, you really don't care.
However, although all the guards secretly cursed Li Yuanji, they were obviously relieved to hear that Li Yuanji was not here to cause trouble.
Qian Niu, the leader, prepared himself and ordered the brothers behind him to get out of the way. At the same time, he shouted to the brothers following Li Yuanji, "Brothers, you must protect His Highness King Qi and his several young Highnesses. You must not let them go."
I offended His Highness the King of Qi and hurt His Highness the Younger Highness."
He said it was protection, but in fact he was reminding his brother to keep an eye on Li Yuanji and never let Li Yuanji cause any trouble.
Li Yuanji heard the deep meaning in his words, but didn't say much.
He, Li Yuanji, had a reputation for being vicious, and he had injured many people in Zuobeishen Mansion before. It was reasonable for people in Zuobeishen Mansion to be on guard against him in order to avoid getting into trouble.
"Father! Father!"
Li Yuanji took Li Chengqian and the four little guys along the path that the people who were preparing to get out of the way quickly arrived at the foot of the high platform.
Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin who had changed his outfit at the first sight, and immediately jumped to his feet and shouted.
The atmosphere on the high platform was not good.
But as Li Chengqian shouted loudly, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Li Shimin, who had a cold face, looked stunned at first, then showed a hint of smile, but immediately became serious again.
Li Yuan, whose face was full of anger, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a rare smile.
Li Jiancheng, who was originally in a good mood, was not in a good mood the moment he saw Li Chengqian.
The other royal family members, civil and military officials, all had different expressions.
Most of them still have good intentions towards the children brought by Li Yuanji. Only Li Gang had an angry look on his face. "Absurd! Absolutely ridiculous! Do you still have etiquette in your eyes?!"
Li Gang stamped his feet and scolded angrily.
Such a solemn and solemn sacrifice to the gods was first destroyed by Li Shimin, and now it was destroyed by Li Yuanji and a group of children.
Li Gang was really angry.
If Li Yuan hadn't had the intention to take action, he would have called Qian Niu to prepare for the attack.
The most important thing of the country is to sacrifice the army. Such an important sacrifice is not a child's play, how can we tolerate it being destroyed again and again.
A group of veterans who were similar in age to Li Gang chose to stand with Li Gang at this moment, and they all opened their mouths to denounce Li Shimin and Li Yuanji who had destroyed the sacrifice.
Li Yuanji knew that these old men headed by Li Gang were not deliberately targeting him, but that the Nuo Opera Festival was too important to etiquette, so they denounced him at this time.
From someone else's point of view, there is nothing wrong with them.
This is like holding a national-level meeting, where everyone is sitting upright and discussing the content of the meeting in a serious manner.
Then, first the door was kicked in and a big fuss was made, and then the child was taken around as a kindergarten.
As an important member of the meeting who attaches great importance to discipline and rules, you must maintain the discipline and rules of the meeting.
Therefore, Li Yuanji should not bear grudges against others, nor should he blame others for this.
Li Yuanji cupped his hands and said frankly: "Masters Li and Pei, gentlemen, you are so kind-hearted that you can't bear to see your father get hurt, so you have to come and have a look. I couldn't defeat him, so I brought him here. I want to see the gods from all directions, For the sake of his filial piety, I won't blame him. I also hope that gentlemen, for the sake of his filial piety, don't embarrass him."
After saying this, Li Yuanji patted Li Chengqian on the head and asked him to find Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian couldn't wait, and after getting the approval, he ran towards Li Shimin.
The reasons Li Yuanji found were powerful enough, many times stronger than the lame reasons Li Shimin had just found.
Therefore, Li Gang, Pei Ju and others just yelled a few words, reiterated the rules of the Nuo Opera Festival, and stopped chasing and shouting to kill.
Filial piety is the most respected avenue among ancient people.
An innocent child is thinking about his father. No matter what wrong thing he has done, he deserves to be forgiven.
I believe that the ghosts and gods from all over the world will forgive him after feeling his filial piety. If he doesn't forgive him, he must be a wild god.
Because you don't even respect or praise filial piety, you are not qualified to be included among the righteous gods.
When people revere God, it is just reverence, not fear, and they will not give up everyone's humanity and perseverance because of God.
If God wants to deprive people of their humanity and perseverance, then people will not mind attacking God. Anyway, there is no kingdom of God in the Central Plains, and there is no such thing as the divine right of kings.
Whether God can be superior to humans or not, humans have the final say.
