Daming Palace, above the Golden Palace

Li Chen and Luo Tong knelt on the Golden Palace, Princess Changle stood aside, and His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Chen on the Golden Palace with a dark face.

"Li Chen, you are guilty." His Majesty Li Er said with a dark face.

Li Chen knelt down and bowed his head and replied, "The minister is guilty." ”

Li Chen thought about it when he came, His Majesty Li Er would definitely be furious when he came back this time, and Li Chen just took this opportunity to stay away from the court.

Li Chen is thinking in his heart now that he is as far away from His Majesty Li Er as possible, if nothing else, the phrase "accompanying a king like a tiger since ancient times" is not a joke,

During Li Shimin's reign, he didn't kill many heroes, but don't forget, now Li Shimin doesn't have many years to live, Zhenguan 23 years Taizong Li Shimin died in Cuiwei Palace, Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, Li Zhi is not a good emperor.

This guy killed his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji, and he showed no mercy at all, when he thought of Li Zhi, he had to think of Wu Zetian, and when he thought of her, Li Chen had a headache,

The brain is buzzing, Wu Zetian is still in the princess's mansion, Zhou Dacai's original wife, given by the emperor,

Now Li Chen is thinking about getting as far away from the emperor as possible, it is best to take Changle, Zhou Dacai, and Wu Zetian to go into hiding, what are you doing with this every day.

Li Chen's distraction made the Golden Palace also embarrassed.

The emperor waited for Li Chen to beg for mercy, the emperor meant that as long as Li Chen begged for mercy, he would be finished with a little trick and beating, who would have thought that Li Chen's distraction on the Golden Palace.

At this moment, His Majesty Li Er was not calm, and shouted: "Come on, Li Chen first protected the princess unfavorably, and then there was no king in the Golden Palace, so he dragged Li Chen out and beheaded him." ”

Princess Changle began to be quite happy to hear Li Chen's confession, who would have thought that this wood knelt under without saying a word, and Princess Changle secretly said: It's broken.

Hearing that his father was going to push Li Chen out and behead him, Changle panicked, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Father, this matter is all because of the willfulness of the son, Li Chen followed the son out of the house, although Li Chen is guilty, but the crime is not to death, please ask my father to be merciful." ”

Cheng bit the gold, and Li Tao also stood up and pleaded: "Please be gracious to Your Majesty." ”

Gao Shilian also stood up and pleaded: "Your Majesty, it is more appropriate to leave Li Chen's life and let him continue to be loyal to the country." ”

Hearing Gao Shilian's words, Li Shimin thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he just took this opportunity to give him an official position, a godsend.

Li Chen really didn't expect that he would be distracted, and he was actually sentenced to the crime of having no law by His Majesty Li Er in his heart.

Hearing the people around him pleading for him, Li Chen hurriedly slammed his head on the ground: "Please forgive your majesty." ”

Li Chen admitted his mistake Li Shimin just got off the donkey down the slope, and His Majesty Li Er didn't really want to kill Li Chen, he just wanted a step, and now that the steps are there, it should go down the road.

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er's face softened a little and said, "Li Chen, since Princess Changle and the princes of the country have interceded for you, then I will spare your life first.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, the person who comes to drag down the staff type forty, the golden knife competition of the Great Dynasty, must win the final championship, if you win, I will be rewarded separately, otherwise there will be no forgiveness. ”

"Father."

"Retreat."

His Majesty Li Er left after finishing speaking, leaving Princess Changle alone and jumping there angrily.

"Father."

The gourd guards came forward to pull Li Chen down for execution, Li Chen lay on the bench, took a deep breath and held his breath, and the gourd guards beat him one after another.

Princess Changle was distressed when she heard it in the main hall; Luo Tong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Tao, Gao Shilian and others did not have much to worry about.

Those who practice martial arts understand the Tao inside, if they can fight, they have to be able to resist, what to resist, then they must practice a hard qigong, this breath is held, and the golden knife competition of the Great Dynasty will not have much impact.

Changle didn't know, he was about to cry, and finally the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't see it, so he pulled his niece and said, "Don't worry, this kid is fine, he can't even carry this little thing, and he can't get the golden knife competition." ”

Changle eased his mood after hearing this, and it could be regarded as giving himself a little comfort.

Outside the door, Li Chen was lying on the bench and being tortured, although this breath has been suffocated, but the golden gourd guards are really not vegetarians, and no one dares to adulterate the emperor's personal order.

The golden gourd guard has ten percent strength for each stick, and there is no mercy at all, and when it hits twenty sticks, it will hear a click, and the water and fire stick will break.

Hearing that the water and fire stick was broken, Luo Tong and Cheng Yanjin suddenly sweated in their hands, Cheng Yanjin has been in the officialdom all the year round, he knows the Tao here, and now that the water and fire stick is broken, it means that it is different.

Li Chen's face was flushed, the strength of the golden gourd guard was really not a joke, it really hurt to beat, the flesh on Li Chen's buttocks was injured, and the blood had already ooped out.

The water and fire sticks were replaced with good ones, and Wang De continued to shout beside him.

"Twenty-one"

"Twenty-Two"

"Thirty"

Changle and the others were relieved when they heard this.

Hearing thirty, Li Chen's heart was bottomed, and he continued to beat five sticks, and finally heard Wang De's voice coming.

"Forty, the execution is over."

"Li Chen took the order."

Li Chen had just finished being beaten, and when he heard the order, he turned over along the bench and fell directly to the ground, Changle stepped forward and knelt down with Li Chen.

"The sinner takes orders."

"The criminal minister Li Chen, because it is not good to protect the princess, and there is no king's law in the Golden Palace, he should have been sentenced to death, but due to the intercession of Princess Changle and others, he specially beat forty sticks, and remembered that he was young and gave the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, and he admired this."

"The criminal minister received the order, long live my emperor, long live."

Changle mixed Li Chen, Luo Tong came to help, Changle wanted to put Li Chen on his sedan chair, Li Chen shook his head and said that he would not go up.

Can this thing be used casually, if you dare to go on it today, Kong Yingda will have to join Li Chen's book tomorrow, and it is a felony to transgress the etiquette system.

Li Tao walked over and said to Li Chen, "Go to mine." ”

Li Chen nodded, and the two of them mixed Li Chen into Li Tao's sedan chair, Li Tao commanded, and he and Cheng Yanjin walked home.

After a while, Li Chen arrived at the princess's mansion, and Yang Yi followed Zhang Laosan to watch the princess's sedan chair arrive at a distance and greet him.

Unexpectedly, Princess Changle got off the sedan chair and didn't look at him, so she walked to the sedan chair behind, Yang Yi and the others looked at the sedan chair behind, and Li Chen slowly came out with Luo Tong's support.

Zhang Laosan was slightly startled, and wanted to speak, but when he saw Yang Yi and the princess in front of him, there was no place for him to speak, so he frowned and looked at Li Chen.

"You two, wait here, the imperial doctor will come and bring the imperial doctor to Li Chen's room." Changle commanded.

"Yes, Princess."

Yang Yi and the others watched Changle and Luo Tong help Li Chen in.

Zhang Laosan said: "Master Li, this is?" ”

"Then who knows."
