Man Tang Hong Chapter 0385 Li Shimin’s counterattack begins (Additional update for ‘Red Dust’! 6/10)
But that was Zheng Guanyin.
Zheng Guanyin is like a living Bodhisattva.
A noblewoman with the fifth surname, the crown princess of the Tang Dynasty.
When that man hears her dancing, can he not go and watch?
When Li Yuanji saw Li Shentong's face turning red, his eyes were darting around, and he couldn't help but said: "Why, are you making excuses for yourself?
Do you think anyone can refuse my sister-in-law’s dance performance?”
Li Shentong nodded subconsciously.
Li Yuanji said disdainfully: "Then why don't you think about it, with my sister-in-law's status, how could she not have any agenda when she comes out to perform dances? Do you really think that I, the Crown Princess of the Tang Dynasty, is a maidservant who dances for others at every turn?"
Li Shentong's expression changed, and he wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say a word of defense.
Li Yuanji continued angrily: "And as far as I know, there were many people who had the opportunity to watch my sister-in-law perform, but they all restrained their desires, except you two.
Do you have the nerve to make excuses for yourself?"
Li Shentong's face turned ugly.
Li Yuanji glared at Li Shentong and said unceremoniously: "That's your niece-in-law. When you ran to watch her dance, you didn't think about her identity or your seniority?"
Li Shentong's face turned even darker.
Li Yuanji said loudly: "The most important thing is that my eldest brother asked my sister-in-law to come out and show her flesh to you. Do you think my eldest brother will let you live after he ascends the throne?"
Li Shentong's face turned pale instantly.
Li Xiaogong's face also turned pale.
Li Yuanji pointed to the courtyard of the Jingshe not far away and shouted: "You have all seen Mrs. Chen in my house and know what happened to her. She raised me single-handedly, but my father refused to give her a life and death.
Serious status, why do you think this is?"
It's not because Li Yuan is unwilling and cannot let his wife bear the reputation of being unkind.
Li Yuanji used Chen Yiyi as an example. Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong completely understood the serious consequences that their one sexual act had brought to them.
The consequences were far more serious than they had previously expected.
"Now, do you still want to make excuses for yourself?"
Li Yuanji stared at Li Shentong and shouted.
Li Yuanji didn't care about Li Shentong's seniority. He just hoped that Li Shentong could remember this lesson and stop doing such stupid things in the future.
Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and said, "Yuanji, we made a mistake in this matter, and we will never do it again in the future."
Li Shentong was an elder and was embarrassed to admit his mistake, so he just nodded without leaving any trace.
Li Yuanji snorted, his face softened a bit and said: "I don't want to shout at you, after all, one of you is my cousin and the other is my uncle. But I hope you remember that although we have become the most noble people in the world,
A group of people, but we cannot let down our vigilance because of this.
Because for others, the world will become more and more peaceful.
But for us, the world will only become more and more dangerous."
Li Xiaogong nodded without hesitation.
He fully agreed with Li Yuanji's words.
Because he has experienced this danger several times.
Danger arising from internal infighting.
Although Li Shentong didn't nod, he had already remembered Li Yuanji's words in his heart.
Li Yuanji saw that both Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong had listened to what he said, and their attitude completely softened, "In the future, if you have nothing to do, come over and accompany me to enjoy the breeze and look at the scenery.
If I have any trouble with you, you have to go through me first.
However, if I need your help with anything, I won’t be polite to you anymore.”
Li Xiaogong nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.
Li Shentong was a little hesitant.
Because he felt that Li Yuan could live for decades, and if he really wanted to find someone to protect him, it would be better to find Li Yuan than Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji saw what Li Shentong was thinking and didn't care.
Li Shentong and Li Yuan were of the same generation. They were used to seeing Li Yuan's various wise and powerful talents. Their recognition of Li Yuan, fear of Li Yuan, and loyalty to Li Yuan were already engraved in their bones.
Even though Li Yuan is no longer as close to him as before, it is difficult for him to get rid of Li Yuan's influence in his heart.
This is the bondage given to him by the way of concubine.
In the Tang Dynasty where the principle of concubine was very popular, he could never eliminate this influence.
It can only weaken.
This is also the reason why the ancients firmly implemented the principle of concubine.
It is convenient for managing a clan, it is also convenient for growing a clan, and it is even more convenient for the core members of a clan to always enjoy superior treatment and superior status.
"You came all the way here today, don't you just want to tell me that my troop deployment last night caused a huge shock in Chang'an City?"
Li Yuanji suddenly spoke when Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong had almost digested what he said.
Li Shentong was stunned for a moment, then picked up the teacup and started drinking again.
Li Xiaogong was speechless and could only find something to say, "I heard that a group of people suddenly appeared in Chang'an City. They ignored the saint's prohibition and began to spread the truth about your eldest brother poisoning your second brother."
Li Yuanji looked solemn and suddenly became serious, "Who is so brave and dares to do this?"
Li Xiaogong's expression was a little strange.
Li Yuanji frowned and said, "Is there something wrong?"
Li Xiaogong hesitated and said: "Everyone thinks that this person is probably you. After all, you seem to be the only one who dares to go against the saint and doesn't care about the saint's prohibition."
Li Yuanji slammed the table angrily, "That's nonsense! This matter won't be of any benefit to you and Uncle Wang. How could I possibly do it?"
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you treat me and Uncle Wang at all..."
Halfway through the words, Li Xiaogong understood the key, stared and said: "You mean the other party will tell the truth that Uncle Wang and I were present, and then someone will come to my and Uncle Wang's house to find out everything that happened that night.
The details of the matter?"
Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.
Li Xiaogong's expression changed slightly and he said, "That would be bad."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows and said with a strange expression: "You didn't tell the people in your house in private, right?"
People who should know about this kind of thing have basically learned the truth.
People who shouldn't know would go to the houses of Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong to inquire.
Almost no one who should know is qualified to see Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong, so they can only start with the servants of Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong's house.
Li Xiaogong didn't speak, but just looked at Li Shentong.
Li Shentong's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Li Yuanji immediately understood the connection, "Uncle Wang told the people in the house?"
Li Xiaogong nodded and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Wang invited me to the house for a banquet last night, and I agreed to come to your place today. I drank a little too much, so Uncle Wang complained that the dancers in the house could not be compared.
From the Sanshui Palace."
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shentong and didn't know what to say.
You are worthy of being Li Shentong.
How long has it been, and I’m still thinking about the dancing girl.
It seems that becoming a royal family has a great influence on Li Shentong, and Li Shentong is really a little lost.
Li Yuan even issued a gag order, and for the first time, he even issued a gag order to a group of royal family members.
You, Li Shentong, still dare to talk nonsense.
You also said that the dancing girls in the mansion are not as good as those in Sanshui Palace?
Is that even comparable?
"I'm going back home first."
Li Shentong stood up abruptly with a dark face, left these words and ran away in a hurry.
It seemed like he didn't want to wait any longer.
Li Yuanji and Li Xiaogong knew what Li Shentong was doing without asking.
Li Shentong went back to silence him.
Although he was killing innocent people indiscriminately, if he didn't silence the people in the mansion, Li Yuan would silence him.
Even if he tried his best to escape from Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng would not let him go.
"Tell me what happened to Uncle Wang and why he kept going back as he lived."
Li Yuanji sighed speechlessly after watching Li Shentong's back disappear.
Li Xiaogong said subconsciously: "After being greeted respectfully for a long time, I feel a little reluctant to use my brain."
After everything was said, Li Xiaogong realized that there was something wrong with slandering his elders in private, and his face felt a little embarrassed.
Li Yuanji wanted to refute, but after tasting Li Xiaogong's words, he found that there was nothing wrong with what Li Xiaogong said.
When your status is high enough and everyone around you is praising you, it is indeed easy for you to get lost.
Just like many emperors who were often shouted "Long live" by others, and the shouting lasted for a long time, they really thought that they could live for ten thousand years, and then tried various ways to live for ten thousand years.
For example, a certain Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by a palace maid.
There is also an emperor who is often praised for his excellence in poetry and painting, and then after being praised for a long time, he really thinks that he is excellent at poetry and painting. He does things when he has nothing to do, and paints when he has nothing to do.
Each of his masterpieces has a bit more vulgarity.
For example, a certain Emperor Qianlong was known as the Perfect Old Man.
Call them stupid, they can easily play with all the smart people in the court.
You say they are not stupid, they do some stupid things that would make normal people laugh out loud.
So in the final analysis, they are not really stupid, they are just too hyped to be stupid.
"From now on, you can only interact with Uncle Wang. You should stay away from those people who are close to Uncle Wang."
Li Yuanji sighed and warned.
Li Xiaogong nodded slowly.
Although the words of flatterers sound nice and you never get tired of listening to them, you have to act within your ability. If you can’t handle the continuous flattery, it’s best not to listen to them.
"What else happened in Chang'an City?"
After Li Yuanji chatted with Li Xiaogong for a few words, he asked about the situation in Chang'an City.
Li Xiaogong hesitated and said: "There are rumors that your father is going to split the Tang Dynasty into two and divide it between your eldest brother and your second brother, and the rumors are getting worse and worse.
Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Li Gang, Xiao Yu, Pei Ju and others have already written a letter to impeach this matter, and hope that your father can issue an order to prohibit such rumors, investigate this matter strictly, and punish the real culprits severely."
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong and wanted to tell Li Xiaogong that the real culprit would probably never be found out, let alone severely punished.
But when the words came to his lips, they were not spoken.
Because Li Xiaogong obviously didn't know that the source of this rumor was in the palace.
Since Pei Ji, who had always followed Li Yuan's lead, started to oppose this matter, he didn't have to go to great lengths to stop it.
Baimengshu
Li Yuan's idea will definitely not be realized.
It touches the interests of everyone except Li Yuan, and everyone will stop it.
"anything else?"
Li Yuanji did not discuss the matter with Li Xiaogong in depth and continued to ask questions.
Li Xiaogong frowned slightly and thought for a while, then asked tentatively: "Does it count if someone dies in the palace?"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, "Who's dead? How could it reach your ears?"
People often died in the palace, sometimes in large numbers, so there was nothing worth paying attention to.
After all, those who have the power to decide the life and death of others in the palace are not good people.
Killing people has no psychological burden on them.
What Li Yuanji was curious about was that the news of who died could actually reach Li Xiaogong's ears and be remembered by Li Xiaogong.
"I heard that she is a female official in Jieyu's palace."
Li Xiaogong didn't care too much about this matter, so he said it casually.
Li Yuanji was stunned and said in surprise: "It can't be Zhang Jieyu, right?"
Li Xiaogong was also stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said: "It seems..."
Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing more.
If he guessed correctly, this should be Li Shimin's counterattack and revenge against Li Jiancheng, and it had just begun.
Li Jiancheng was unlucky, and extremely unlucky.
Zhang Jieyu will also be unlucky, and the son named Li Yuanfang born to Zhang Jieyu will probably not have an easy time either.
