Li Shimin could understand Li Yuan's feelings. He was also anxious about Feng Zi's disappearance, but what was the use of being anxious? Right now, Li Jing had already gone to Sheng Zhou, and Yuchi Gong and the others had also rushed over. They were all trying their best to search for him, so it was not the fault of the officials that they could not find him.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly advised, "Father, I have already sent people to Sheng Zhou to handle this matter, but there are not enough people. However, I believe that the results will be out soon."
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin, but at this moment, he was furious, because he knew that Erlang had already done his best. Thus, he looked at the officials, his eyes somewhat gloomy: "Since there are not enough people, then let the clan send out some people."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was in an uproar.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan with a bewildered expression.
Although he really wanted to touch the clan, he knew in his heart that the clan had a deep foundation and could not be eradicated overnight. Therefore, he had always buried this thought in his heart and had never said it out loud.
But today, his father had personally said it out loud.
Although it was said very tactfully, but he could still hear his father's hatred for the clan.
On this point, Imperial Father and I happen to agree.
However, could the officials agree?
Thinking about it, he shifted his gaze to the officials.
In fact, the officials were no longer calm.
Because many of them were also in the ranks of the clans.
The Emperor's words just now meant that he was prepared to let the clans search for Zhang Feng.
Although they were also worried about Zhang Feng, they did not plan to use the people of their clans.
If they touched the people of the clan, it would definitely cause damage to the clan.
Thus, everyone hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, please show mercy. The clan cannot be touched."
Li Yuan glanced at the crowd, his face could not help but flush red, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he roared: "Not using the clan? Then who can I count on? "
As he spoke, he walked in front of everyone, stretched out his finger, and pointed angrily: "It's you? Or you? Is it still you? "
Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment as they retreated. They knew that the Emperor was currently in a state of anger and could not be provoked.
Li Yuan glanced at everyone and roared again, "Since you can't find Feng Zi, then what's the harm in touching the clan?"
After saying that, he looked at the door and shouted, "Pass down my decree. Let all the clans send people to find Feng Zi immediately. If they can't do it, don't come back."
But at this moment, a voice came from behind. "Wait."
Li Yuan turned his head abruptly and saw that the one who spoke was his son, Li Shimin.
Li Shimin actually wanted to get rid of the clan as well, but he knew that getting rid of the clan was not something that could be done overnight. Using his father's method was even more impossible, so he stopped him.
At this moment, facing his father's bewildered gaze, he could only step forward and comfort him, "Father, this matter cannot be rushed. Li Jing, Yuchi Gong, and the others have already sent people to search for Feng Zi, I believe there will be a result very soon. Moreover, if we let the people of the clan move out now, they will definitely be unwilling, and at that time, it will inevitably cause some twists and turns."
Hearing this, Li Yuan was somewhat moved, but he couldn't help being somewhat worried in his heart. Thus, he said, "Then what about Feng Zi's safety?"
"Father, there's no need to be like this."
Li Shimin smiled faintly, trying to ease the awkward situation. "With Li Jing, Yuchi Gong, and the others, I believe Feng Zi will not be in danger."
Of course, he was not confident about all of this. Right now, he only wanted to appease his father.
Li Yuan naturally did not know about this, and thought that Erlang really had a way, so he said, "Since that's the case, then listen to Erlang. I won't participate."
In fact, ever since he abdicated, he had basically not participated in political affairs. If it wasn't for Feng Zi, he wouldn't have summoned the ministers at all.
Li Shimin seemed to have put down a huge stone in his heart. He let out a long breath and smiled: "Thank you for your understanding, Father."
After he finished speaking, he swept his gaze across the crowd of officials. "Since there's nothing else, all of you may leave."
Everyone looked at each other and did not leave immediately. It was as if they had something to say.
A moment later, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and bowed: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Emperor, the Heaven Worship Ceremony and the Water and Land Assembly will be held in a few days. When the time comes …"
Speaking to here, he raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin and Li Yuan. However, he did not continue speaking because the Heaven Worship Ceremony and the Water and Land Assembly were originally ordered to be held by His Majesty. Now that it was a farce, whether or not to hold it would depend on His Majesty.
Moreover, the Emperor had originally agreed to attend the Heaven Worship Ceremony, and His Majesty had also agreed to attend the Water and Land Assembly. Now that the ceremony and assembly were almost ready, they had to confirm whether or not to attend.
Li Shimin naturally knew what everyone was thinking. He did not plan to cancel the Heaven Worship Ceremony and the Water and Land Assembly. In fact, he was prepared to attend. Of course, all of this was built on the basis that he was the Emperor. There was also a portion that came from personal feelings. After all, he was brothers with Jiancheng and the others. They were already dead. Holding a few ceremonies was something that should be done.
It was just that he didn't know what Father was thinking.
With doubtful thoughts, he looked towards Li Yuan.
