"Father! It's him! He was the one who hit the child with his boat and extorted everything from the child!"
Li Yuanjing, who was cowering next to Li Yuan, also saw Xiao Han at this time!
At this moment, all the old and new hatreds rushed into his heart!
You bastard, you bullied others all the way to your home? I am a prince after all, why should I be so shameless!
"Did he hit you with his boat?" Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanjing, who was filled with grief and anger, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. After all, they were blood relatives. Even if he liked Xiao Han before, he was still an outsider. How could he be compared to his son?
"That's him!" Li Yuanjing held Li Yuan's sleeve tightly with one hand, and pointed at Xiao Han with a trembling hand: "If the boy's boat hadn't been strong, he would have died in the Yellow River long ago, and he would never be seen again.
It’s your turn, father!”
"Death?"
After hearing what Li Yuanjing said, Li Yuan's expression changed drastically once again, and he immediately looked at Li Shimin with shock and anger: "Erlang, you instigated this?!"
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that bloody day three years ago!
On that day, he fell from the lofty position of emperor to the mortal world!
Also on that day, his two sons died tragically in this palace city!
Could it be that because he didn't think he had killed enough, he wanted to kill Yuan Jing as well?
"Father! I swear to God, if this happens, I will be struck by thunder and die!"
Seeing Li Yuan who was almost trembling with anger, Li Shimin felt a pain in his heart. He immediately lifted up his robe and fell to his knees on the ground!
"My son, get up quickly. If you say there is no such thing, then this matter has nothing to do with you!"
Li Yuan knew his second son well, and when he saw him denying it so decisively, he immediately believed that it was not him! He murmured to himself, and his originally distracted eyes became determined again.
"Then what's going on? Who's lying!"
After all, he was once an emperor. Although he had given up on himself in the past two years and was drained by drinking and sex, he was still powerful! Li Yuan shouted low, and Li Yuanjing beside him immediately trembled and was speechless.
"Xiao Han! Say it!"
Seeing Li Yuanjing's useless look, Li Yuan sighed in his heart and turned his head to focus on Xiao Han.
"Here..."
Seeing this, Xiao Han, who had long been bitter in his heart, had no choice but to accept it, and then told how he met Li Yuanjing on the Yellow River, how he crashed the grain ship, including how his rope was tampered with when he was in Sanmenxia, and he almost missed it.
He told everything about his death on the pillar.
These things actually happened.
Therefore, Xiao Han didn't add any embellishment when he spoke, and it was as if he was telling someone else's story. But even so, Li Shimin and Li Yuan took a deep breath, and looked at Li Yuanjing with increasingly angry eyes.
"Yuan Jing, what he said is true!"
After Xiao Han finished speaking, Li Yuan stared at Li Yuanjing and asked.
Li Yuanjing was speechless and wanted to deny it, but he couldn't. As a result, he was completely stunned and couldn't say anything.
Seeing this, Li Shimin added in a serious tone: "Father, you may not know something! The grains Xiao Han escorted are the grains prepared to resist the Turks this year!
If there is any loss, there will be tens of millions of people affected by the disaster?! Also, Yuan Jing has admitted this matter in front of the important civil and military ministers. If the child does not punish him severely, how should the important civil and military ministers treat the child?"
"You, what a good thing you did! How dare you come to deceive me!"
At this time, Li Yuan no longer had any doubts, and angrily threw away Li Yuanjing's hand, pointed at him angrily and drank!
Li Yuan was the emperor, not to mention how important it is to the Tang Dynasty to resist the Turks! Li Yuanjing dared to step on this minefield of murdering important officials of the imperial court?!
As Li Shimin said, if this matter is not dealt with, how will the emperor deal with similar matters in the future? If others follow the example, will the Tang Dynasty return to the Qin Dynasty when assassins were in power?
"Father! Father!"
At this time, Li Yuanjing finally realized the danger and could no longer care about anything else. He knelt down in front of Li Yuan and cried bitterly: "It's my fault! My child is obsessed! I listened to the slander and made a big mistake!"
Yes! All this was caused by the boy's steward! It was he who encouraged the boy to hit the grain ship, and it was he who arranged to cut the rope, and begged the father to spare the boy this time for the sake of his son's filial piety!"
It has to be said that when people encounter a desperate situation, their IQ will always break through! When Li Yuanjing cried and begged for mercy, he was so blessed that he remembered that all of this seemed to have happened because of what the steward in the mansion said!
"Is your housekeeper instigating this?"
Sure enough, when Li Yuanjing said this, the eyes of Xiao Han, Li Shimin and others were all focused, and they almost asked in unison: "Where is he!"
"He..." Li Yuanjing said with a sad face: "He ran away secretly when my second brother ordered me not to leave the house. I don't know where he went!
However, the people around me can testify: It was indeed him who said that those stupid boatmen didn’t give me face, and I should teach them a lesson, so that’s why everything happened!”
"Then why are you coming to Luoyang?" When Xiao Han heard this, he suddenly remembered something and asked urgently.
"That's what he said!" Li Yuanjing knelt down and murmured: "He said that I can't stay in the fief all the time. I should go out for a walk occasionally, especially when I should go back to Chang'an to talk to my brothers. That's why I have
Went to Luoyang and his party..."
"What's the name of this steward, and when did he join your house?" Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Han and interrupted Li Yuanjing coldly.
"His name is Li San. He joined the government about two years ago. Because he is smart and capable, that's why I trust him so much..." Li Yuanjing answered happily this time. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been used as a weapon?
————
At the top of the moon, Xiao Han and Li Shimin walked out of Wanchun Palace.
After so much back and forth, the two of them had already woken up from their wine. They looked up at the bright moonlight. They were so in tune with each other that they stopped riding horses and started walking slowly side by side in the palace.
"Li Yuanjing's matter is just for the sake of my father. Don't have any objections." Li Shimin glanced at Xiao Han and said a little guiltily. He wanted to break Li Yuanjing's leg, but Li Yuan couldn't.
I couldn't bear it, so I had to change it to confinement.
However, Xiao Han smiled cheerfully and said, "This is actually pretty good! If I lock him up for three years, at least he won't bother me anymore in these three years!"
"As long as you have no objection!" Li Shimin also laughed. He saw that Xiao Han was telling the truth and was not trying to deal with him.
