Liu Jun stood in front of Bao Chu, made a gesture of invitation, and took the lead to walk up the stone steps.
Li Ji adjusted his mood, raised his head, and stepped onto the stone steps with arrogant steps.
Li Ji also wanted to keep a low profile, but the personality of his predecessor Li Yuanji did not allow it. His predecessor Li Yuanji usually acted unscrupulously in front of Li Yuan. If he acted in a low profile, it would be easier for others to see his flaws.
Climbing the steps all the way to the entrance of the palace, I saw the eunuchs, female officers, eunuchs, maids, door maids, dancing maids, painting maids, etc. lined up in four rows, shivering in the cold wind, but
Don't dare to act rashly in the slightest.
Whenever Li Yuan gives any orders, they must immediately appear in the palace to serve him.
If you make the slightest mistake, you will be severely punished.
When Li Ji walked to the entrance of the palace, he heard Li Yuan's gloomy voice coming from inside the palace.
"Erlang, I heard that you have recently recruited many advisers and warriors. The majesty of your Qin Palace is almost catching up with mine."
"Father, all my sons and ministers are given by my father. The counselors and warriors of my sons are naturally the counselors and warriors of my father."
Li Shimin heard that Li Yuan's tone was unkind and that Li Yuan was complaining about him, so he hurriedly explained.
Li Shimin's voice is rich, powerful and full of energy, giving people the feeling that a decent person is speaking.
Li Ji heard that Li Yuan meant to make trouble for Li Shimin, so he was not in a hurry to go in. Liu Jun, who was guiding Li Ji, also stood guard at the entrance of the palace and had no intention of going in to inform Li Ji.
This is the wink.
When Li Yuan was making up his mind, if you barged in and interrupted, wouldn't that make Li Yuan uncomfortable?
"Okay, okay, your counselor and warrior will be my counselor and warrior."
Li Yuan praised loudly, and before Li Shimin could reply, Li Yuan shouted, "In that case, why did they ignore the etiquette I established? A small county actually dared to ride a horse from the gate of a prince's mansion.
But who gave him the courage?"
When Li Yuan first came to the throne, he established a etiquette system. When a low-ranking official or a low-ranking noble met a high-ranking official or a high-ranking judge on the road, he should dismount his horse and get off his sedan chair to show courtesy. When passing the residence of a high-ranking official and a high-ranking official and a high-ranking judge, he should also dismount his horse and dismount his sedan chair and walk.
Li Ji thought for a moment and roughly understood what was going on.
The "little county son" mentioned by Li Yuan should be Du Ruhui, and the prince of the country should be Yin Ah Shu.
Yin Ah Shu told him before that he found an excuse to beat Du Ruhui severely. The reason should be that Du Ruhui violated etiquette by riding his horse through Yin Mansion.
Du Ruhui violated etiquette first, no wonder Yin A Shu dared to kill him.
Li Ji thought that Yin Ashu was quite stupid before, but now it seems that he is a bit clever.
He knew how to be unreasonable, and he also knew that he was no match for Li Shimin, so he had to ask Li Yuan to stand up for him.
It's just that cleverness is still cleverness after all.
It is impossible for Li Yuan to do anything to Li Shimin for him, but he will definitely take his life for Li Shimin.
"Father, there is a reason why Counselor Du rode his horse through the Yin Mansion..."
Li Shimin defended Du Ruhui, but before he could finish his words, Li Yuan shouted rudely: "Everything happens for a reason. I can see that he is relying on your support and does not take the etiquette I have set in mind."
Li Shimin was stunned and fell into silence.
Li Ji's brows raised, it seemed that Li Yuan did not intend to let Li Shimin go easily.
If Li Yuan characterized this matter as a grudge between Du Ruhui and Yin Ashu, the most he could do was reprimand Li Shimin and fine Du Ruhui's salary.
But now that Li Yuan is pulling it on himself, he obviously wants to escalate the matter.
What's the difference between not taking Li Yuan's etiquette seriously and not taking Li Yuan seriously?
"Father, Counselor Du has already had one of his fingers broken by Prison Prison Yin. He has received the punishment he deserves. Does Father want to punish him again?"
Li Shimin suddenly spoke, speaking in a heavy voice.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Yin Jianmen discounted one of Du Ruhui's fingers..."
Yin Ashu concealed something from Li Yuan, and he also concealed something from Li Ji.
After Li Ji learned that Yin Ashu had concealed Li Yuan's secret, he pricked up his ears and listened quietly to Li Yuan's reaction.
"Do you think Du Ruhui was aggrieved because one of his fingers was broken? He violated the etiquette set by me, so Yin Jianmen acted righteously. Is it wrong?
In your opinion, is the etiquette I set more important, or is it Du Ruhui's finger that is more important?"
Li Yuan suddenly raised his voice a few degrees and asked sternly.
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "Of course the etiquette set by my father is important."
Li Yuan snorted, "Then I'll fine you three months' salary and dismiss Du Ruhui as an official. You won't object, right?"
Li Shimin fell into silence again.
Li Ji felt enlightened through the reactions of Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
A Yin Ashu, a small problem that violates etiquette, is not worth the embarrassment Li Yuan gives Li Shimin.
The reason why Li Yuan made a fuss out of a molehill was obviously to take the opportunity to attack Li Shimin.
If Li Ji guessed correctly, the reason why Li Yuan beat Li Shimin should be related to the Tiance Mansion and Xiu Wen Museum that Li Shimin had established recently.
Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion and Xiu Wen Guan had just been established for more than a month, and they had already recruited hundreds of counselors and warriors. Li Yuan felt threatened, so he took the opportunity to attack Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also saw this, so when Li Yuan said that he would fine him a salary and dismiss Du Ruhui from his official position, he responded with silence.
But silence can only be dealt with temporarily, and cannot be dealt with forever.
Let’s see how Li Yuan forced Li Shimin to speak, and how Li Shimin responded.
Li Ji wanted to see how this eternal emperor, known as the King of Kings, could pass the test of Li Yuan.
While Li Ji was quietly waiting for Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son to continue their duel, Liu Jun bent over and hurriedly entered the Liangyi Hall.
Li Ji's eyes suddenly widened.
Let me go, are you from Li Shimin?
If you go in and pass the ball at this time, wouldn't you just help Li Shimin break the situation?!
"Everyone, His Royal Highness King Qi is here..."
"Xuan!"
"..."
Li Ji cursed in his heart and entered the Liangyi Hall.
Liangyi Hall is very large, many times larger than the main hall of Wude Hall.
Four rows of crane-stem candles were lit in the hall, leading from the entrance to the emperor's throne.
Li Yuan wore a crown on his head and red casual clothes, sitting on his exclusive emperor's throne with a big belly.
Fifty-six-year-old Li Yuan's face does not look old at all, but is full of rosy colors. He looks like a well-maintained wealthy man.
On His Majesty's right side, Li Shimin, wearing a military crown and dark uniform, was sitting on his knees behind the bench, with his back straight.
Li Shimin has a handsome face, tall figure, and a sense of vigor all over his body.
To His Majesty's left, there was an empty long table filled with wine and food. Yin Ah Shu was sitting on his knees behind the second long table, pretending to be pitiful.
Liu Jun stood bent over His Majesty, and there were ten maidservants kneeling on both sides of the table, with their heads lowered, serving people.
Li Ji originally thought that there were only Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Liu Jun, and Yin Ah Shu in the hall, but when he walked closer to Li Yuan, he discovered that a few steps behind the empty space on Li Yuan's left, there was an old drunkard lying.
Li Ji knew who he was without having to guess.
It must be Li Yuan's most trusted minister, Youpuse, Wei Guogong Pei Ji.
Only he can stay in the palace overnight and eat, drink and have fun with Li Yuan.
Li Ji walked up to Li Yuan and bowed, "Father..."
Li Yuan glared at Li Ji and snorted coldly.
Li Ji straightened up. On the way to Liangyi Palace, he carefully recalled Li Yuanji's behavior in front of Li Yuan.
He knew exactly what to do in this situation.
Li Ji stepped towards Yin Ashu, and in Yin Ashu's frightened eyes, he raised his leg and kicked it.
Yin Ashu screamed and rolled out, rolling twice before stopping.
Li Ji jumped over a few steps and chased Yin Ashu, preparing to continue to attack him. While chasing him, he scolded him, "You bitch, you dare to accuse me of being so cunning, are you tired of living?!"
"Bold! Unbridled!"
Li Yuan stood up from the throne angrily, pointed at Li Ji and scolded him angrily.
Li Ji turned a deaf ear and rushed in front of Yin Ashu, grabbed Yin Ashu's collar and punched him twice.
Li Ji used Li Yuanji's body, and also inherited Li Yuanji's strength and martial arts skills, with a few changes.
After two punches, Yin Ashu's small body could not withstand it at all, and his two front teeth were knocked out immediately. He shouted to Li Yuan with blood in his mouth.
Li Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. He actually didn't let Qianniu prepare himself at the entrance of the palace to pull Li Ji away, nor did he let Li Shimin stop Li Ji from committing the crime. He just kept shouting words like "unbridled" and "bold".
Li Ji originally just wanted to hit Yin Ashu twice, but Li Yuan refused to let anyone pull him away, so he could only continue to attack Yin Shu.
Li Ji punched Yin Asu a few more times. It wasn't until Yin Ashu's shouts of being beaten subsided that Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin and shouted angrily, "Stop him quickly!"
Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "I can't beat you..."
"you!"
Li Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Suwei?!"
Li Yuan roared outside the palace.
The Qianniu guards outside the hall rushed into the hall and pulled Li Ji away.
Li Ji greeted them a few times in a symbolic sense and struggled a few times.
After being pulled away by Qianniu Beishen, he threatened Yin Ashu, who was lying on the ground wailing, "Just wait for me, and I will kill you sooner or later."
Li Yuan hurriedly left the throne, walked to Li Ji and angrily shouted, "You traitor, what do you want to do? If you commit murder in front of me, do you still have me in your eyes?"
Li Ji showed no signs of weakness and said with a glare: "Father, you want to punish me for a small prison?"
Li Yuan glared and yelled: "He is the head of the state, a prince, not a prisoner! You violated the rules in front of the palace and beat up a state leader. What crime should you do?!"
As soon as Li Yuan said these words, Li Shimin's eyes instantly lit up.
Li Ji was also very happy.
"Cough cough cough!"
Pei Ji, who was lying on the ground pretending to be drunk, suddenly got up and coughed loudly.
Li Yuan immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing.
Although Yin Ashu's daughter is a noble concubine and her grandson is a prince, Yin Ashu cannot be called the head of the state.
Unless Li Yuan makes Concubine Yin De his queen, there will always be only one father-in-law of the country, and that is the father of the late Empress Dou.
