Chapter 54: Compromise

"Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has admitted the mistakes he has made, he should be severely punished according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty." Xu Jingzong hurriedly knelt on the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers implore that the crown prince Li Chengqian be severely punished."

Li Shen smiled and looked at the ministers who knelt on the ground with two-thirds of the scene, turned around and looked coldly at His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair, with cold eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Why?" ”

Li Zhi walked out from behind the screen with a smile on his face, saluted His Majesty Li Er, and said lightly: "Should I call you Li Chengqian?" Or Li Shen? No, it should be called Li Shen, right! You were originally a kid who didn't know where to come from, you were able to get to this point, and almost subverted my Li family, this king has to admire you, the only pity is that your heart is too soft, and you believe in others too much, and you can't complain about others when you fall to this point today. ”

Li Ke and Li Tai followed and walked out from behind the screen.

"Son-in-law Li Ke, son-in-law Li Tai has seen his father."

Li Ke looked at Li Shen with a smile on his face and said, "Li Ke has seen Brother Li Shen. ”

Li Shen looked at the four of them with a smile and said, "Sure enough, I played a good trick, and today I opened my eyes." ”

"Li Shen, just tie your hands and arrest it, see that you and this king's brother are still a little similar, in that case, let this king go, this king can plead with his father and leave you a whole corpse." Li Tai said lightly, the whole person once again regained the momentum of despising the world in the past, but it has converged a lot, and it feels like a lot more noble temperament.

"I'd rather it was all a dream today." Li Shen said lightly, looked at His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Why?" ”

"Because you are not my god, not the blood of the Li family." His Majesty Li Er said coldly.

"You say no, it's not, then Lone wants to ask, who is Lone?" Li Shen asked.

"Who you are, you know for yourself." His Majesty Li Er replied.

"It seems that from the beginning, you knew that Lone was not a complete Li Chengqian." Li Shen said with a smile.

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly.

In the entire hall, those ministers who had been following His Majesty Li Er's side for many years all looked at Li Shen with disbelief on their faces, how could this be possible? Why is it that all of a sudden, the crown prince is not the crown prince, and what exactly does he mean by what he just said? What is called an incomplete Li Chengqian? What's going on? Who can tell them what the hell is going on today?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?" Gao Shilian hurriedly asked.

Li Shen glanced at him, smiled lightly at His Majesty Li Er, and said, "But you still can't deny that Lone is Li Chengqian, and there is still blood between you and the queen mother in your body." ”

Looking at the silent His Majesty Li Er, Li Shen followed: "Today's matter is not a day or two to start preparations, Lone can't figure it out, according to your past character, it is impossible to do it now, but you should wait." ”

"I really want to wait, but if I wait any longer, I'm afraid that the entire Li family will fall into your hands." His Majesty Li Er sighed and said.

"In Lone's hands? Is the surname Li alone? Isn't it royal blood anymore? Li Shen asked.

"Li Shen, what's the use of you talking about this now, no matter how you say it, you are still not the real big brother of this king." Li Zhi looked at Li Shen with contempt and said loudly, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, take down this guy who pretends to be the eldest brother of this king and tries to usurp the throne." ”

Li Shen sighed deeply, looked at His Majesty Li Er, and said, "This is what you want to do?" ”

"Qian'er, I'm sorry." His Majesty Li Er said with a little pain on his face.

The plot reversed a little too quickly, and everyone was blindfolded.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Looking at the guards who walked in, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly.

"Say." His Majesty Li Er said.

"Your Majesty, how can you be sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not Li Chengqian? Besides, His Highness did not make any mistakes, so His Majesty thought about how to explain to the people. Cheng Yanjin said.

"Didn't Lu Guogong hear Li Shen's words just now?" Li Tai asked lightly.

"I heard it, but I still don't understand a little, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not Li Chengqian, but Li Shen. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calling the name Li Shen, I'm afraid most people in the court know it, and there are ......"

"Cheng bites gold." His Majesty Li Er shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reputation among the people now... At that time, it will not be possible to explain it to the people. Xiao Yu hurriedly stood up and persuaded him.

"Yes! Your Majesty, please think twice. Zhang Gongjin said.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Li Shen laughed a few times, looking at His Majesty Li Er with some contempt, even he himself did not expect that so many ministers would stand on his side, and they are all people who have followed His Majesty Li Er for many years, it seems that the older this person is, the more shrewd he is, he knows the good and the bad, and said: "Father, the sons really don't understand why you want to do this to the sons, since you returned to Chang'an City, the sons have been accommodating to you everywhere, and have never interfered in state affairs, but they are worried that they will have conflicts with you. You can't wait to make a move on your sons. ”

"Li Shen, whether I am your father or not, you know it in your own heart, you don't need this." His Majesty Li Er said lightly.

"Lone does have a number in his heart, so Lone is called your father." Li Shen said angrily in a cold voice, and then said: "Do you think that this will make Gu have no way, aren't you underestimating Gu." ”

"Do you count on Su Dingfang?" Li Zhi said with a disdainful smile on his face, and then said, "I'm afraid he can't protect himself now." ”

"Hahaha~~~"

Li Shen looked up to the sky and smiled, looking at the four father and son who were high above with contempt, ridiculous and pathetic, he didn't know what to say, he started to act without the slightest preparation, they thought that they could hold him like this, it was better to assassinate him secretly, but the assassination didn't seem to work, every time he went out, he took at least forty or fifty members of the dark night, there were twenty people and some guards in the bright place, and there were thirty members of the dark night, and it seemed difficult to hold him without a few hundred people, And it was so easy for so many people to want to protect him and escape safely.

Li Shen stared at the four of them with contempt, and then shook his head slightly, fortunately, Su Dingfang had given a military order when he came back from Goryeo, and without his order, no one would obey the order, and the people in the barracks forbade any other military personnel to come in.
