Chapter 869 That Loud Slap
"Your Highness the Prince of Chu... His Majesty didn't mean that..." Changsun Wuji no longer dared to say anything harsh to his angry nephew: "His Majesty thinks that this matter... is suspicious..."
"The man is already dead! I did it! What's wrong? Any objections?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was too lazy to listen to what Changsun Wuji had to say. He looked at his father with a look like a raging flame: "Li Shimin, I have really tolerated you for long enough!"
Although Li Kuan had warned himself countless times in his heart that in order not to make his grandmother sad and to give the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world a better future, he should try his best to endure the suspicion of his father, His Majesty Li Er, as an emperor - if he really couldn't endure it, he should flee far away, but...
Everything has its limits.
For Li Kuan, the matter of the Goguryeo envoy was like "the person is in the palace and the pot falls from the sky" - in the past, if he did not immediately gather troops and march north, he would be unworthy of his reputation as "the King of Chu who values speed in battle".
But now...
I kept enduring, but what I got in return was repeated temptations from the other party.
In that case, why should we endure it?
Do you, Li Er, really think that I am a coward? !
"What did you call me just now?" Emperor Li II looked at his son who was already extremely angry. He should have been equally angry at this moment, but... in a trance, he seemed to see the baby he sent back to Longyou on a snowy night many years ago, and himself who became increasingly resentful towards his father and brother during the five years he was trapped in Chang'an.
"Kuan'er... admit your mistake to your father immediately!" As Emperor Li II's playmate since childhood, Changsun Wuji knows the other's temper too well - if Li Kuan continues to be so stubborn... everything will be irreversible!
"Li Shimin, I've tolerated you long enough!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu first replied to His Majesty Li II, then turned to look at Changsun Wuji who came to his side, and said with disdain: "Uncle, isn't this what you want to see? Are you scared? Ha... Changsun Wuji, listen carefully, if my Li family bleeds today, then your Changsun family will also bleed! This is what I said! It is absolutely counted! No one can stop it!"
boom!
When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu first made up his mind to rebel, he prepared for the worst.
Anyone who got involved in this matter before, don't even think about taking advantage!
"Your Highness the Prince of Chu... be careful with your words!" Even though Fang Xuanling was always calm and composed, he was also terrified at this moment: "His Majesty has no intention of holding you accountable..."
"Someone come!" The furious Emperor Li II did not intend to let Fang Xuanling continue to comfort him: "Catch this rebellious son!"
"Heh..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw that there were already soldiers outside preparing to enter, he immediately sneered, then moved his body slightly, and then threw Qu Changsun, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack on him while he was distracted, to the ground with a back throw!
"Are you worthy enough to compete with me?" After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu kicked Qu Changsun's neck again.
If this kick was successful, Qu Changsun would surely die, and the first day of the ninth year of Zhenguan would coincide with the Xuanwu Gate Incident in the ninth year of Wude.
Everything is reaching a point of no return.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu!" It happened so fast as a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the side. Zhang Nan, the chief eunuch of the palace, finally arrived at this time. He kicked Qu Changsun, who was lying on the ground, away, and then knelt down to hug the Prince of Chu who was about to rush forward: "Your Highness, calm down! Calm down! The Emperor and the Duke of Qiao will be here soon! They are here to give you justice! And the Queen -"
"I have never needed any justice! I... have never received any so-called justice!" After hearing Zhang Nan's last words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's eyes suddenly turned red, and then he turned his head to look at the angry Emperor Li II: "Ever since I was born, I have been weak and frail. If it weren't for my grandmother who devoted all her efforts to raising me, I would have died long ago! If it weren't for my grandmother, how could I have come to Chang'an? How could I have formed such an evil relationship with a tyrant like you!
Li Shimin, the father-son relationship between you and me is fundamentally a gift from my grandmother, so I used to cherish it very much! But you don’t cherish it! You bastard... Forget it, I’m filthy with you if I scold you!" When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, he suddenly reached out and wiped his face, and then said in a resolute tone: "Aren’t you quite arrogant? Your Majesty, you might as well try it today - even if I stand here and don’t resist, if you dare to hurt me in the slightest, you will see -"
"——Kuan'er, why don't you resist?!" Just when Emperor Li II was already furious, Emperor Li Yuan suddenly walked in from outside the hall.
And along with him came an old man in a green shirt.
Strangely, after the old man entered the imperial study, the anger on Emperor Li II's face suddenly turned into astonishment, and the black-armored soldiers who had originally surrounded Li Kuan immediately lowered their heads after seeing the old man.
"Don't hurt His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Cui Junsu is one of the less famous staff members under Li Er. His current identity is the chief coach of the Black Armor Army - in simple terms, he is responsible for the training of all the soldiers of the Black Armor Army.
"..." After Cui Junsu said this, the black armor soldiers looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "Coach Cui, it is our duty."
"Well, Cao Yong, you are a man of courage." Cui Junsu sneered at this and said, "Then why didn't you bring any weapons with you?"
"..." The black armor soldier named Cao Yong had no way to answer this: His Majesty wanted to capture His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and they would risk their lives to capture him, but if they brought weapons...
Then "risking one's own life" becomes "seeking death"...
Just when everyone was looking at each other, at a loss of what to do and speechless.
"Pa!" At this time, Emperor Li Yuan walked up to his son and broke the silence with a loud slap.
"Erlang, you are much more strict today than I was in the past..." - Li Yuan did not slap Emperor Li Er in the face, but slapped himself in the face.
The reason why he did this was for his most beloved grandson.
"Royal Grandfather!" After His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu saw the Royal Grandfather slap himself in the face, the anger that was originally boiling in his chest turned into heartache.
“The Emperor…” Chu Suiliang, who had been standing beside the imperial desk to protect His Majesty Li Er, suddenly reached out and supported Li Yuan, who was shaking a little: “Please calm down…”
"Get lost!" If Li Yuan hadn't come here for Li Kuan, he wouldn't have bothered to come here at all: "What a hypocrite! You are a bunch of traitors, what qualifications do you have to support me?!"
"Father..." Emperor Li II looked at the slap mark on his father's face. He knew that some things could not only not be undone, but he would probably recall the scene that just happened in countless late nights in the future: "I..."
"Li Shimin..." Li Yuan looked at his son in front of him. There was no tenderness in his eyes, only endless pity: "I want you to answer me now: Is this what you want?"
