Li Shimin was different from others in that he guessed that Muchuan was hiding his clumsiness.
What a great Muchuan, he obviously has the ability to shoot grass from a rabbit's mouth, but he still has to pretend.
Suddenly, Li Shimin's fear of Muchuan rose to a higher level.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, my archery skills are really worrying, which makes Your Majesty laugh."
Muchuan smiled awkwardly at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether you hit it or not. What matters is whether you want to hit it or not."
These nonsense words shocked Muchuan.
This old boy actually figured it out? If I had known, I would have missed the shot.
For the rest of the time, everyone chatted while shooting, but kept moving away from the hunting ground.
Muchuan was also getting anxious. According to this momentum, he would arrive at Brother Diao's lair in half an hour.
Unable to help but look at Li Chengqian, Muchuan wanted to slap him on the head, and then said, "Are you planning to rebel?"
Of course, I think so, but I dare not do it.
"Why didn't the prince shoot an arrow?"
Li Shimin finally noticed Li Chengqian's passivity and asked casually.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian replied with a smile on his face: "My archery skills are not good, but since my father asked, I will show off and take a shot."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at a bird on the top of the tree.
Seeing this, everyone naturally became interested.
They all know that the smaller the target, the harder it is to hit it.
Muchuan on the side noticed something strange from the arrow in Li Chengqian's hand.
This arrow smells like white phosphorus.
Is it finally starting?
Muchuan was delighted and guessed Li Chengqian's true intention.
After the arrow feathers flew out, they burst into flames inexplicably.
The arrow missed the target, and it was deflected quite ridiculously, shooting directly into the sky.
"this"
"Perhaps the prince was too tired, so he made the mistake."
"Although the arrow was shot crookedly, the prince's bow-drawing posture was quite standard. It seems that this is not the prince's true strength."
After everyone was stunned for a short time, everyone quickly started to brag.
This actually made Muchuan think that his head was full of black lines.
Good guys, I've really learned a lot. I've really made you understand the art of flattery.
Li Shimin looked at the rocket in the distance, but fell into silence.
"Father, my child feels unwell. I hope that my father will allow me to leave first."
Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked deeply at Li Chengqian, but nodded.
"In that case, let's go back and rest early."
"My son, please retire!"
Seeing Li Chengqian leaving like this, Muchuan was also thinking about finding some excuse to leave.
He also has to bring in the reinforcements, right?
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has a stomachache. Please allow Wei Chen to take care of it."
Muchuan held his stomach and pretended that he couldn't hold it in any longer.
As the saying goes, people have three urgent needs. Faced with this situation, Li Shimin had no choice but to agree.
As a result, Muchuan patted the horse and left quickly.
He is not as ostentatious as Li Chengqian. He can use rockets to call people, but he has to run over quickly and call people himself.
At this moment, Li Chengqian encountered an army.
It is not difficult to recognize from the clothes of this army that they are a branch of the Royal Forest Army.
"Has the hunting ground been sealed off?"
Li Chengqian asked coldly.
One person quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, it has been completely sealed off. If anything happens here, the outside world will not get any news in the short term."
"Very good. In that case, let me go with you to see His Majesty."
Everyone quickly chased in the direction where Li Shimin and others were, and Li Chengqian felt his heart beating rapidly.
Now there is absolutely no turning back, and Li Chengqian even feels a little regretful.
However, when he thought of what his father had done, he completely gave up his hesitation.
At least, I didn't kill my brother
Li Shimin and others were looking for prey, but the sound of horse hooves not far away caused everyone to avert their eyes.
"Is that the Royal Guards?"
"Why are there so many Royal Guards here?"
"Your Majesty, is this your arrangement?"
In response to the minister's inquiry, Li Shimin just shook his head.
Soon, everyone finally understood who had brought this imperial army of nearly a thousand people.
Li Chengqian, who was in front of the army, didn't seem to be feeling any physical discomfort at this moment. Instead, he was in high spirits and looked particularly energetic.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Some ministers still did not understand the situation.
However, some people's expressions have changed drastically. They have already guessed it.
Li Chengqian got off his horse and walked slowly towards Li Shimin.
The imperial guards guarding Li Shimin were naturally shocked. Faced with this situation, they only wanted to stop Li Chengqian.
However, something strange happened suddenly, and most of the five hundred elite forest troops suddenly launched an attack.
Through mental calculation and unintentional planning, those imperial guards who were still loyal to Li Shimin were captured instantly.
"Li Chengqian! What are you going to do? Is it possible that you want to usurp the throne and become independent?"
Wei Zheng pointed at Li Chengqian and couldn't help but cursed loudly.
Before he could finish speaking, a simple knife was pressed against Wei Zheng's neck.
Not only Wei Zheng, but also most of the officials had weapons on their necks.
Some people, led by Hou Junji, walked out of the crowd and then walked behind Li Chengqian.
Now everyone understood clearly that Hou Jun and his group were princelings from the beginning.
"Hou Junji, do you also want to rebel against me?"
Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji dimly, his eyes full of disappointment.
Hou Junji looked directly at Li Shimin, but said slightly madly: "I'll tell you why!"
"In the Battle of Gaochang, I just used some military pay, but you stripped me of my official position and even scolded me in front of all the officials!"
"After all, I've worked for you through life and death for so long, and you punish me so heavily just because of this bastard's bullshit!"
Hou Junji pointed to no one else, but Wei Zheng who had tried hard to admonish him.
Originally, Li Shimin planned to turn a blind eye to this matter.
After all, although Hou Junji was accused of corruption, his merits outweighed his faults, so there was no need to punish such an old man.
However, Li Shimin was really annoyed by Wei Zheng's constant remonstrances, so he could only give Hou Junji some punishment.
However, Wei Zheng was not satisfied with this and kept saying that the emperor broke the law and the common people were guilty, not to mention that Hou Junji was not the emperor.
In desperation, Li Shimin could only impose punishment according to the provisions of the law.
This is the reason for Hou Junji's resentment.
Li Shimin frowned slightly and said angrily: "Severe punishment? According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you should have been punished and beheaded. Thinking of our past friendship, I exempted you from the death penalty. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
To be honest, Li Shimin really felt chilled.
Obviously after the incident, he restored Hou Junji's official position and title, and went to express his condolences in person.
He originally thought that Hou Junji should have stopped remembering this matter long ago, but he didn't expect that he remembered it so clearly.
"Alright, Lord Lu, please be patient. When I ascend the throne, the first person I will kill will be Wei Zheng."
Li Chengqian interrupted Hou Junji and revealed his true intention at the same time.
