Facing Lord Sun's counterattack, Muchuan's eyes flashed with coldness, but he didn't say anything more. He just sighed and stepped back.
It looked as if Muchuan had been subdued.
This actually made some people who didn't understand the situation feel that Muchuan was defeated, and everyone was gloating about his misfortune.
However, Li Shimin's reaction stunned everyone.
Li Shimin suddenly pulled out his sword and threw it like a javelin.
Li Shimin was still as heroic as before, and the sword was thrown quite accurately, directly hitting Mr. Sun who had just made a big statement.
Master Sun, who had not expected this, was directly stabbed in the chest by the sword. He screamed and fell into a pool of blood, already unable to survive.
This move frightened all the officials, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
This was the first time that Li Shimin killed someone in court with his own hands.
This kind of thing is extremely rare even in the past dynasties.
After all, for the emperor, if he wanted to kill his ministers, just one sentence would suffice.
Li Shimin's face was extremely cold. He didn't even look at the corpse and said coldly: "Everyone who just mocked Mu Aiqing has come forward."
As soon as these words came out, those who had mocked Muchuan before were all so frightened that they trembled all over.
They finally understood that Li Shimin was showing his favor to Muchuan!
What a ridiculous thing it is for a monarch to show kindness to his ministers!
But it happened!
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
Those people stood up and begged Li Shimin for mercy.
They really couldn't understand why Li Shimin got so angry because of Muchuan.
Li Shimin glanced at these people coldly, as if looking at a dead person.
"Someone, drag these wine bags and rice bags out and behead them on the spot!"
"Here!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Soon, soldiers rushed in and carried these people out.
Not long after, the sound of heads falling to the ground was heard. These soldiers performed their tasks very quickly. They were indeed Li Shimin's personal guards.
At this moment, the whole place was completely silent, and no one even dared to express their anger.
Li Shimin swept away everyone and said: "At such a time, anyone who dares to make plans is a loyal person of the Tang Dynasty."
"And those bitches actually taunted them, which is really deplorable!"
"If something similar happens again in the future, I will punish you severely!"
These words seemed to be spoken to the ministers, but in fact they were spoken to Muchuan.
Muchuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would actually accomplish this.
This is a sign of goodwill to me.
Muchuan's intuition was incredible, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't find it strange at all.
After all, Li Shimin is now on the verge of danger. If no one helps him survive this disaster, it will be extremely difficult to save his life, let alone continue to be emperor.
But looking at the current situation, the only one who can possibly solve the chaos in the palace is Muchuan.
Ninety percent certainty is not perfect, but it is at least better than doing nothing!
"Mu Aiqing, don't let those bitches chill you."
Li Shimin looked at Muchuan, his tone softened, and said, "You continue to talk about what happened just now."
Muchuan laughed dryly and stood up again.
"Your Majesty, I would like to share your worries for Your Majesty. Let me deal with the evil thing."
"good!"
Li Shimin praised: "Just because of Mu Aiqing's heroic spirit, I am completely relieved!"
"Come here, bring me the royal wine. I want to personally toast Mu Aiqing with it and wish Mu Aiqing great success!"
The emperor personally toasted. This was not a gift of wine, but a great honor.
Muchuan waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I don't have to drink anymore. It won't be too late to drink again after I complete my mission."
"Mu Aiqing is so lucky to have such an awakening!"
"In that case, I will personally await the good news about Mu Aiqing!"
All in all, Li Shimin gave Muchuan enough face.
If Muchuan comes back with good news, everyone will be happy, and Muchuan will definitely be reused, and his official position will definitely be greatly improved.
But otherwise Muchuan would not have to come back, so he should quickly go to the Taoist priest to discuss how to conquer the world.
Muchuan left the palace, feeling a little regretful for a moment.
He shouldn't have been so full of words. If among those civil and military officials there were traitors who were bent on Li Zhi, wouldn't his intentions be known to Li Zhi soon?
Muchuan's worry was not unreasonable, because Li Zhi found out about this very quickly.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair, listening with interest to the stories of the ministers below.
"Your Majesty, you have to be careful. The Supreme Emperor wants to seize power. He even came up with stories about evil spirits to defeat you."
"Yes, yes, and Muchuan is also making wild claims about assassinating Your Majesty, so you must be careful!"
Looking at the court, there were a large number of civil and military officials. Almost all of these civil and military officials had appeared with Li Shimin. When counted, they actually accounted for about half.
These officials all have the same characteristic, that is, they are not reused by Li Shimin.
However, for Li Zhi, they can easily get into high positions as long as they flatter him hard.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally not difficult for them to decide who to turn to.
After listening to what everyone said, Li Zhi showed a crazily evil smile.
"As a lesson to the loyalty of all my beloved ministers, please all be promoted to the next level."
As soon as these words came out, the officials were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.
What kind of imperial court is this? It's like a child playing house.
How can one be promoted one by one?
After resigning from the imperial court, Li Zhi did not leave Tai Chi Hall.
He likes this place very much, and likes the feeling of sitting on the dragon chair and overlooking the steps.
This feeling made him enjoy it extremely, as if he was possessed.
Since he became emperor, Li Zhi has eaten, drank, pooped and slept in Tai Chi Hall.
The eunuchs and maids serving Li Zhi all thought it was quite strange, but no one dared to discuss it.
Li Zhi was lying on the dragon chair, staring at the resplendent ceiling, and murmured to himself: "Father, Father, it would be great if you were safe and sound, but you want to provoke me to kill you."
"As for Muchuan. Hahahahahaha, you actually want to take the artifact from me?"
Li Zhi stretched out his hand and raised the golden apple high above his head, filled with dazzling golden light in mid-air.
The light seemed to turn into liquid, flowing down Li Zhi's arms and continuously pouring into Li Zhi's body.
Li Zhi's eyes were also completely occupied by golden light, and his whole person looked extremely evil.
"Then let's try it."
"I just need a capable subordinate."
"The teacher is very talented and can help me make suggestions so that I can enjoy all this better."
