"Just now, that was really His Highness the King of Shu..."
"What an honor! What an honor!"
"Beating the prince is treasonous and lawless!"
…
…
There was a fight in the palace, and the target of the beating was a prince, a prince who was very sensitive both in terms of identity and status.
This was the first of its kind since the founding of Jingguo. For decades, including Emperor Taizu, such a bad incident had never happened in the palace.
The officials who were close to the King of Shu looked shocked and angry. They were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to cut Li Yi into pieces with a thousand knives.
In recent days, the reputation of the King of Shu in the court has declined. He has lost face in front of His Majesty and even the officials. Now it is good. He doesn't need to care about the loss of face. He was beaten and fainted, and his face was covered with blood.
If the guards carry you away, what else can you say about your dignity?
Even if His Highness ascends the throne in the future, today's episode will probably not be erased from the history books.
Although the other officials were not so angry, the rumors about Li Xianzi and the King of Shu in recent days could not help but come to mind.
Li Xianzi was so frightened and sickened by a few words from the King of Shu?
Are you worried about settling things with King Shu after he comes to power?
fart!
This is sheer nonsense. Looking at the way he beat up the King of Shu just now, is he as cowardly as the rumors say?
That kind of madness and ruthlessness still made them feel a little chilly when they thought about it. The shadow of today may be something that the King of Shu will never forget for the rest of his life.
Li Yi could neither hear nor see the uproar of the officials and the frightened looks of the surrounding guards. The surrounding sounds seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier.
Because of the heavy exercise just now, his chest rose and fell slightly, but he didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He looked past the palace guards surrounding him and landed on that small figure.
Seeing that silly but extremely friendly little face again, Li Yi felt joy and relaxation that he had never experienced before, and laughed again.
But just such a warm and warm smile made the guards around him feel chilly in their hearts.
After beating the King of Shu into this state, did he know what was waiting for him?
For being able to laugh under such circumstances, this Mr. Li - must he be crazy!

In Yannian Hall, Emperor Jing had just taken medicine and was lying on the soft bed, ready to rest for half an hour before getting up to review important memorials.
The doctors in the Imperial Medical Office repeatedly advised him not to overwork himself, otherwise it would only make his condition worse. Emperor Jing, who had never cared about this advice, finally realized after what happened last time that his body
It's really not what it used to be.
After just a short morning, he felt a little tired, so he could only sigh secretly, put all the troubles behind him for the time being, and rest some energy first.
"Your Majesty just went to bed. If you have anything to ask, please wait until your Majesty wakes up!"
"We have really urgent matters, please inform Your Majesty!" The eunuch guarding the door and two palace guards got into a dispute over something.
"Shut up!" Chang De's figure floated beside them at some point and said coldly.
"Mr. Chang." The two guards saluted hurriedly.
Chang De looked at the two of them and said calmly: "What happened, tell me."
There are imperial guards guarding the palace, so what big things can happen? As long as rebels don't invade the imperial city, nothing can compare to His Majesty's body.
Seeing General Manager Chang speak, a guard immediately said: "Back to General Manager Chang, Prince Li Yi and Prince Li Xuan of Chang'an County just attacked His Highness the King of Shu in the palace. His Highness the King of Shu was seriously injured and has been sent to the Imperial Medical Office. We
We have captured County Prince Li and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and are awaiting His Majesty’s disposal!”
The indifferent look on Chang De's face disappeared and he looked sharply at the guard, "What did you say? Say it again!"
…
…
After His Majesty the Emperor said, "If you have something to do, you will leave the court if there is nothing," it does not mean that all the officials can pat their butts and go home, each looking for his own mother and each beating his own child.
Usually after the dynasty is dismissed, most officials still have to return to their posts and continue working. They have to do things and hold a small meeting when they have nothing to convey the spirit of the morning dynasty to their subordinates, and thoroughly implement the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor...
But today it's different.
Many officials from the three provinces, six ministries and twenty-four departments were not busy with the affairs at hand. They gathered together in twos and threes and whispered something.
"Have you heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was beaten in the palace today!" A gossipy minister from the Ministry of Industry said mysteriously while pouring water.
"What?"
"No way, this is the imperial palace, how could His Highness the King of Shu..."
The two principals were surprised when they heard this sentence and immediately came over.
The servant looked around and saw no one in sight. He was immediately relieved and described what he saw on the road with added detail.
For a time, exclamations of surprise could be heard in the duty room, and officials who were further away also put down their work and cast doubtful and curious glances.
The palace is the most heavily guarded place in the country. It has been as quiet as a calm lake for decades, and no big news happens.
The calmer the lake surface, the bigger the ripples will be when a huge boulder is thrown into it.
Because that incident happened when hundreds of officials came to court, and the tragic situation of His Highness the King of Shu was witnessed by countless people, one layer of ripples easily turned into layers of ripples.
"Have you heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was beaten in the palace?"
"The ones who did it were County Prince Li and Prince Li Xuan. They even dared to beat His Highness the King of Shu. They are so audacious!"
"You all know what happened between the King of Shu and Mr. Li, right? It seems that the King of Shu persecuted him too much and drove Mr. Li crazy. What does the madman have to fear? It is said that if the palace guards had not discovered it early, Shu
The king was beaten to death today!"
"No, no, why did I hear that His Highness the King of Shu had a quarrel with Prince Li Xuan and was beaten by the two of them? After all, everyone knows that the King of Shu has been plotting against the Wang family for a long time, but he did not expect that at the critical moment, Li Xuan would be beaten by him.
The prince stepped in and met him in the palace today. They started fighting after a disagreement, but King Shu's skills are not as good as others... I heard that he is still in the Imperial Medical Office, and his life and death are unknown!"
…
…
Li Mingze, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood at the door and coughed. Several officials who were whispering looked back, their expressions suddenly changed, and they immediately returned to their original positions and started pretending to do their work.
That Mr. Li is the nephew of the Minister, so this matter must not be mentioned here.
A trace of deep worry flashed in Li Mingze's eyes. This time, Li Yike really caused a huge disaster. Let alone him, no one except His Majesty could intervene in this matter.
"This little guy has always acted calmly, why is he so reckless this time?"
Outside the Qinzheng Hall, several veterans gathered together and frowned deeply as they watched Li Yi and Li Xuan being brought in by the guards.
Although fighting in the palace is a serious crime, let alone beating a prince, it is different from the express law. Whether he beheads him in a hurry or dismisses it lightly with a few blows depends on your majesty's decision.
Fortunately, based on their understanding of His Majesty, beheading was impossible. His Majesty valued him so much that he would not be severely punished for it. What's more, this matter also involves Prince Li Xuan, making it even harder to punish him.
However, with hundreds of officials in the court on the spot, in full view of everyone, and in front of so many people, the two men beat the King of Shu so miserably that it was not something that could be revealed lightly.
The officials of the King of Shu will not miss this opportunity, nor will the imperial officials. The imperial concubine is even more difficult to deal with...
In short, he is probably going to suffer a lot this time.
This day is a very ordinary day for the common people in Kyoto. The only regret is that it may be that it was still cloudy in the morning. I thought there was going to be a heavy rain to relieve the heat, but I didn't expect that it would clear up before noon. It seems that it will soon clear up.
Don't even think about cooling off for a few days.
However, the homes of those officials and nobles with some status were shaken a lot because of a certain piece of news coming from the palace.
