Chapter 273 Northern Foothills of Lishan Mountain, Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang(1/3)

 "Do you suspect he is the King of Shu?!"

Li Shimin's voice was cold and murderous.

He looked at Fang Yuan and didn't know whether he had murderous intent towards Fang Yuan or Li Ke.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood."

"I'm just telling you what I know. I don't doubt the King of Shu at all, and I don't dare to doubt the King of Shu."

Fang Yuan lowered his head slightly, not looking at Li Shimin.

The reason why I chose to tell Li Shimin was to give Li Shimin a headache and make him busy.

Ever since the fire cannon incident, the relationship between myself and the emperor has been somewhat broken, and it is no longer what it used to be.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin will have no time to care about himself until something bigger and more annoying happens.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Shimin to kill himself because of this incident. At most, the break will be even greater.

"You go down."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and waved his hands.

"I resign!"

Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back.

Li Shimin couldn't hold back his anger anymore, kicked over the desk in front of him, and roared in the sky.

He was angry because Li Ke was so stupid and did something that was unworthy of the royal family.

For such a long time, he has turned a blind eye to the overt and covert fighting between Li Ke and Li Chengqian.

But now, Li Ke has completely violated his bottom line. He doesn't need such a prince, and neither does the court.

"Come here, pass the message to Li Ke!"

Li Shimin roared and shouted.

He didn't want to make random guesses about this kind of thing, so he asked directly.

Because guessing is useless, it will only make you more irritable.

It's not Li Ke who most likely can ask about the situation.

After all, Cheng Yaojin has been ordered to rescue the captured bandits.

If Li Ke dares to lie, he will end up even worse after being forced to find out the result.

Not long after, Li Ke arrived, but he did not come alone, but escorted Yang Yuzhi.

As soon as he saw Li Shimin, Li Ke knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

After seeing this scene, the anger in Li Shimin's heart disappeared a lot.

"Father, I had no idea about the robbery of food and grass beforehand!"

"It was all Yang Yuzhi and Shouchun who made their own decisions and sent people to kidnap them!"

Li Ke shouted in fear.

After learning that Fang Yuan entered the palace, Li Ke thought about countermeasures.

Later, when the emperor wanted to expel the palace maids and eunuchs, Li Ke guessed that Fang Yuan would tell the truth.

So he immediately pressured Yang Yuzhi to come to see the emperor, hoping to clear up the matter.

Unfortunately, when we sent people to forcefully invite the Shouchun County Lord, the Shouchun County Lord disappeared.

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked at the tied up Yang Yuzhi with a look of death.

"Your Majesty, it's unjust, it's unjust!"

"Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to hijack food and grass."

"It's all under the instigation of His Highness the King of Shu. He has a grudge against Fang Yuan and wants to take this opportunity to take revenge on Fang Yuan."

Yang Yuzhi cried and shouted.

The look of panic on his face became even more intense.

He is really more frightened than Li Ke, and more worried about Li Shimin killing him.

No matter what, Li Ke is Li Shimin's son. Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. Li Shimin would not kill Li Ke even because of his reputation.

But I am different. I feel no pressure to kill myself, and I will even be happy to kill myself to express the anger of the common people or to appease the hatred in my heart.

But fortunately, his wife was not arrested. If he refused to admit that it was Li Ke who forcibly instigated her, he might still be able to save his life.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze from Yang Yuzhi to Li Ke.

"Father, my sons and ministers are certainly not stupid enough to destroy the foundation of our Tang Dynasty."

"Furthermore, I am at odds with Fang Yuan, but it is completely necessary to take action on this matter."

"As a prince, I have many ways to make things difficult for Fang Yuan. There is absolutely no need to do this."

Li Ke was furious.

I never expected that Yang Yuzhi would bite me back today.

A dog that was so obedient before turned traitor to its owner today and deserves to die.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Even if I have great courage, I would not dare to do such a rebellious thing."

"The one-eyed Qiao Rongqi sent by me was once a bodyguard of His Highness the King of Shu. He retired due to an injury and has been working for His Highness the King of Shu. If it wasn't authorized by the King of Shu, how could I mobilize him?"

Yang Yuzhi cried and said.

Tears were streaming from his nose and he looked extremely pitiful.

"Father, I really don't have any children."

"Although Qiao Rongqi was the former bodyguard of Erchen, after leaving the palace, he was managed by Yang Yuzhi."

Li Ke was shocked and cried.

What a great Yang Yuzhi, what a great Shouchun County Lord, it turned out that he had thought about it all.

Even if he did not instigate using his former bodyguard, he would not be able to escape his involvement.

In addition, Yang Yuzhi insisted that now he did not know where the Shouchun County Lord was, and it would be difficult for him to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Your Majesty."

Yang Yuzhi wanted to continue to correct Li Ke, but was interrupted.

"Shut up!"

"Put Yang Yuzhi into the sky prison and torture him severely."

"Put Li Ke under house arrest in the King of Shu's Palace, and send people to watch him and not allow him to go out."

Li Shimin scolded.

You say something to me, but I don’t know who to listen to.

Then check carefully to see who is real and who is fake.

Also, the Lord of Shouchun County must also be arrested to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Father, please give me justice."

Li Ke took a deep breath and said respectfully.

His heart felt a little cold because of Li Shimin's attitude.

It is obvious that Li Shimin does not believe in himself or what he says.

Look, what a weak relationship between father and son, look what a ruthless imperial family.

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Li Ke's change in mentality. He was angry now.

What Li Ke said is correct, and what Yang Yuzhi said is equally correct.

Without Li Ke's authorization, would Yang Yuzhi dare to do that?

Then let’s see who tells the truth and who lies.

Li Ke, who was sent back to the Shu Palace, drove away all the maids and eunuchs with a dark face.

He returned to the study and saw no one. He stayed there until night without going out or lighting a lamp.

Although the emperor sent people to keep an eye on Li Ke, in this case they did not dare to open the door and really stare at Li Ke.

After all, he is a prince. Although he is punished by the emperor today, he may regain his dignity tomorrow, which is not something they can offend.

In the dark night, the door and window of Li Ke's study were quietly opened, and a man in black turned over and entered, arriving in front of Li Ke in a familiar way.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

The man in black said respectfully.
