"It's this kid who bullied you?"
In a courtyard beside Taiji Palace, Li Zexuan hadn't even raised his head when he heard Li Yuan speak. His tone was full of indifference and casualness. Presumably, in the eyes of this former emperor, crushing Li Zexuan to death was as simple as crushing an ant!
"Father Emperor! It's him! At that time, I only wanted to go up Yunshan to see the fireworks and tell you about it after returning to the palace. But who knew that the Marquis of Yong 'an relied on his imperial brother's favor to seriously injure four of my imperial bodyguards in public! Father Emperor, you have to uphold justice for me! "
Li Yuanchang immediately changed to an aggrieved expression. He didn't have the slightest bit of manliness on his body. Instead, he was like a coquettish little girl acting coquettishly in front of Li Yuan.
Finished speaking, he used the corner of his eye to glare viciously at Li Zexuan. That look seemed to be saying, "Let you be proud at that time? Now, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy! "
Seeing this, Li Zexuan instantly felt his hands itch unbearably. If it was another occasion, he would definitely beat the shit out of this "little bitch". Wasn't he just relying on the fact that he was the second generation of the imperial family? After a few years, when Li Yuan dies, let's see how you can still be arrogant!
"Hmph! Kid, you actually dare to bully my son. You really have guts! Men! Drag him out and chop him up to feed the dogs! "
Without any interrogation process, he directly sentenced Li Zexuan to death!
Hearing this simple sentence, Li Zexuan's heart instantly surged with hostility. This old thing wants to chop me up and feed me to the dogs? Isn't this too unreasonable? Regardless of whether he committed a crime or not, even if he beat up Li Yuanchang's subordinates for no reason, it's impossible for him to be beheaded!
Li Yuan's unreasonable sentence, the civil and military officials of the imperial court wouldn't agree. Li Er wouldn't agree. The 《Tang Dynasty Law》 wouldn't agree. As the person involved, Li Zexuan would even more disagree!
He originally thought that Li Yuan would give him a chance to explain. Who knew that the other party didn't even look at him from beginning to end and directly wanted to chop off his head? Simply going too far!
"Here ~!"
At this moment, two strong women appeared. Yes, they were really like iron towers. They were even stronger than most men. They were just like some sumo wrestlers in Japan in his previous life. Two strong women walked over from the side and grabbed onto Li Zexuan's arms. They wanted to drag Li Zexuan out and behead him, but …
The first time, it did not move. The second time, it still did not move. The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time …
The two women were so tired that their foreheads were covered with a layer of sweat, but Li Zexuan was still standing there motionless ~!
What a joke! How could an ordinary person defeat a martial arts master of the Grandmaster Realm with brute force?
"Hmm? You dare to defy the imperial decree ~? "
Li Yuan also noticed the movement on this side. He pushed aside several beautiful concubines beside him, stood up and said furiously.
Li Zexuan raised his head and looked straight at Li Yuan. He said neither servile nor overbearing, "Dare I ask Retired Emperor, this subject only injured a few servants of Prince Lu. According to my Tang Dynasty's laws, at most I will compensate some money! Why does Retired Emperor want to chop off this subject's head? "
Li Yuan did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Why? Because I am the monarch and you are the subject. If the monarch wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die! You even studied the sage books in vain! "
Li Zexuan retorted, "Killing a subject for no reason, this is what a fatuous monarch does! Twelve years ago, Yang Guang caused chaos in the world. Retired Emperor led thirty thousand troops to rise from Taiyuan. He went to Chang 'an and eradicated a group of bandits. The world is one, the will of the heavens is secondary, the people's hearts are united. It can be said that his meritorious service is unparalleled and splendid for a thousand years. This subject believes that with Retired Emperor's wisdom, he will definitely not indiscriminately kill a meritorious subject ~! "
Speaking also needs to be skillful. In any era, there are classes. Facing the ruling class of feudal society, if one does not talk about strategy and blindly acts recklessly, no matter how high one's martial arts is, there will only be one road to death in the palace!
Listening to Li Zexuan talk about the events of the past, Li Yuan's old face that was somewhat pale due to excessive indulgence in debauchery became rosy at this moment. He closed his eyes and stood with his hands behind his back. In his mind, he could not help but recall the years of the Sui Dynasty, that period of extraordinary time when he and the eighteen rebellious princes fought for the throne. In the end, he took a deep breath, looked at Li Zexuan and said with a smile that was not a smile,
"You brat, you really know how to talk. No wonder Erlang would think highly of you!"
His tone, was already not as intense as before.
Li Zexuan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The most dangerous moment had finally passed.
Li Yuanchang who was at the side had an anxious expression. He quickly interrupted and said,
"Father Emperor! Don't be deceived by this fellow's flowery words. He doesn't have you in his eyes at all! Back then, Erchen said that I wanted to go to Cloud Mountain to see what fireworks looked like for Father Emperor. However, not only did he not let me go, he even injured Erchen … "
Stirring up trouble. This brat already knows how to stir up trouble at such a young age. What would happen when he grows up? A cold light flashed in Li Zexuan's eyes. Without waiting for Li Yuanchang to finish speaking, he stepped forward and said,
"Retired Emperor! Erchen has something to discuss with you alone. Please dismiss your attendants! "
"Audacious! Marquis Yong 'an, you want everyone to withdraw. Could it be that you want to assassinate my Father Emperor? Father Emperor, don't be afraid. Erchen will protect you! "
A trace of anxiety flashed in Li Zexuan's eyes. He immediately jumped in front of Li Yuan and pointed at Li Zexuan and said loudly.
Damn, I didn't expect this little bastard to be so good at acting. Li Zexuan cursed in his heart. Soon after, he moved his feet slightly and instantly arrived in front of Li Yuanchang. Just as Li Yuanchang was about to cry out in fright, Li Zexuan had already returned to his original position.
All of this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint. It was so fast that it made people feel like it was a dream! It was as if Li Zexuan had been standing in the same spot from beginning to end and had not moved at all!
The guards in the courtyard were all shocked. They quickly pulled out their Mo Swords from their waists and ran over to surround Li Zexuan.
Facing the heavy encirclement, Li Zexuan's expression did not change. He looked at Li Yuanchang and Li Yuan and said, "Erchen did not mean to offend. Erchen only wanted to say that if Erchen really had ill intentions towards Retired Emperor, I would have already made my move! What's more, Your Highness Prince of Lu, didn't you say that you wanted to protect Retired Emperor? Why are your pants wet? Where did your guts go? Or are you just putting on an act to show off how filial you are in front of Retired Emperor? "
As far as the eye could see, there was a puddle of water where Li Yuanchang was standing. This brat was actually scared to the point of wetting his pants. At this moment, his face was flushed red. Moreover, he was about to cry from anger because of Li Zexuan!
Poison! Li Zexuan's tongue was really too poisonous!
Li Yuan frowned. To be honest, at that moment, he was indeed astonished by Li Zexuan's martial arts. He did not expect that Li Zexuan's martial arts at such a young age would be stronger than some old generals. However, what made him most angry was Li Yuanchang's performance. It was said that a tiger father would not beget a dog son. He, Li Yuan, had several sons who were all heroes. However, this son in front of him was a complete coward! Too shameful!
"Yuanchang, you withdraw first!"
Li Yuan reprimanded with a black face.
