Chapter 18: The Raging Dragon—Death Without Repentance

"Still not admitted?" Li Er's voice became even colder, he never thought that Li Kuan would refuse to admit his mistake, this kid is really bold, and openly beat the Duke of the Tang Dynasty in the court, this is the highest honor in the Tang Dynasty. The Manchu dynasty was up and down, and there were only a dozen or twenty people at the first level of the national duke, most of whom were canonized during Li Yuan's reign. After Li Er came to power, there were only a few people, like Wei Zheng and others, who were slowly canonized in the later years. But now Sun Wuji, the most noble of the Duke of Zhao who was canonized by Li Er, was knocked to the ground by his own son in court, which was undoubtedly provoking his authority.

"What's wrong with the son? The eldest grandson Wuji, as the left servant of my Tang Shangshu, ranked first among the three princes, actually did not want to marry the princess to the royal family with personal friendship. This is already a manifestation of the dictatorship of foreign relatives. Such a powerful minister, if he still follows his wishes, will definitely be Wang Mang and his ilk in the future! Li Kuanyi said rhetorically, he is also nonsense, although the eldest grandson Wuji was also a powerful and dictatorial minister later, but he never thought of replacing Li Tang Jiangshan. It was a small Wu Cao, but in the end he replaced Li Tang and established Wu Zhou.

"Hmph, strong words, the auxiliary machine is your mother's elder brother, as the uncle of the Tang Dynasty, is the elder of your kid, so slanderous, how did you learn your loyalty, filial piety and shame? I'd like to ask Kong Yingda how he taught you this rebel! Li Er slapped his hands on the armrests of the dragon chair, stood up and yelled at Li Kuan.

"Father, don't you know that the number of times your sons have gone to the school palace over the years is only a handful, how can you blame Master Kong at this time!" Li Kuan was reluctant to involve Kong Yingda and others. Said out of the tongue. It's not that he's kind, it's that he's already burned out, if you add those sour people. Then he might as well crash directly into this hall.

"How dare you say it? Haven't been there a few times? I didn't go once! It is a dereliction of duty for me to hand over to a few of them to teach you princes and grandsons, and for such an important matter, they did not even report to me that there was a fish like you who slipped through the net. I'm going to bring them to justice! Li Er was completely angry now. He was hit by Li Kuanding and was about to lose his mind, and now mentioning anyone would make him angry.

"Lizhi, go and call your queen mother!" The eldest grandson Wuji whispered to Li Liqing, and he found that Li Er had already shown signs of getting out of control. None of the people present could calm his anger. Li Kuan is the main igniter, while Li Lizhen and himself are accomplices. Now that it has angered this giant dragon that is entrenched at the pinnacle of the Tang Dynasty, the old fox of the eldest grandson Wuji has found out. Unable to appease the dragon's wrath. Maybe after a while, this fire will burn on his head, so hurry up and call for help.

Here, only Li Lizhi is the most suitable to go. He wants to confront Li Kuan, the king of Chu. As soon as he leaves, Li Kuan's unconscious guy will definitely put all the blame on himself, which is absolutely impossible. So he can't leave, and the chamberlain himself doesn't have the right to command them, after all, the people who can be on errands in this Lizheng Hall are Li Er's cronies, and they will only obey Li Er's orders. Then only Li Liqian, who stood aside and looked worried, was the best candidate.

"Uncle......" Li Lizhi looked at the roaring Li Er and Li Kuan kneeling on the ground with a worried face, as if she was reluctant to leave.

"Rest assured. They won't fight, Uncle assures you. As long as you go and call your mother, your uncle won't let you marry your cousin. Eldest Sun Wuji tried his best to show a kind expression on his face, but a circle of blue and purple fist marks around his nose made his expression look awkward and funny, Li Li couldn't help but laugh for a while, and even whether Li Er and Li Kuan, who she had been worried about, would fight for the time being, forgot for the time being.

"Go ahead! Otherwise, your father is really out of control, and he will die at that time! The eldest grandson Wuji was extremely anxious, and Li Er's love became more and more excited, and his face and neck showed green tendons. The big coat on his body was untied by him and thrown aside at will, and the solemn crown dress he was wearing inside was also torn up in a mess at this time. The desk in front of the dragon chair was even more in disarray. The important folds that had just been collected were now scattered on the ground.

"You kid, are you going to be angry? I've indulged you all these years, and I've taught you such lawlessness? Do you really think that the mysterious scientist behind you can protect you? Such unscrupulousness, will it be repaid in the future? Said that the eldest grandson Wuji is a powerful minister? If you continue like this, you will be the same in the future, and you will be even more lawless than the eldest grandson Wuji. If you dare to beat the princes and ministers in court now, will you use the horizontal knife on your waist to cut off the heads of all the ministers who do not agree with you in the future? Li Eryi ripped open the collar of his crown robe, revealing a moon-white mid-coat. The flat crown on his head is also a little crooked, thinking that it was caused by a mess just now.

"Erchen doesn't dare!" Li Kuan didn't want to argue with Li Er about these things at this time, and he could also see that Li Er was forced to tighten by himself and his eldest grandson Wuji today. If you want to be a good emperor, you have to endure it, endure not to lose your temper with the ministers, listen to what they say reasonable or unreasonable, find what can be adopted or refuted, and then convince people with reason.

In this way, it seems that being an emperor is not as good as the house slaves of some wealthy families, and the house slaves can sometimes take advantage of the power of the people, relying on the prestige of their own masters to bully and bully others. But what about the Emperor? You are the master of the world, but you have lost many things that ordinary people have at their fingertips. Especially Li Er, who wants to be a master of the ages, can't vent his anger, can't do what he wants to do according to his heart. There are Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and a group of courtiers who like to pick thorns, always watching your every move, and if something is wrong, it is a blunt admonition. I don't know how many times Li Er wanted to correct Wei Heizi on the spot, but he dispelled this idea again and again, and suppressed his anger again and again.

Just a few days ago, Li Er was once again made unable to step down by Wei Heizi, and even bowed to Wei Heizi in front of many important ministers to admit his mistake. This has already made Li Er don't choke enough, this anger hasn't gone down yet, and he met Li Kuan and Changsun Wuji again, and this time they happened to break into the muzzle of the gun.

"Don't dare, that's what you want to do! The teacher behind you, I think it's time to meet, your kid has learned this stupid and bold body with them all these years? Do you know that now the Tang Empire is in turmoil, and I need to unite all the forces that can be united. Do you know that this time, on the way back to Beijing, how many soldiers and horses were sent by countless families? They still have ambitions hidden in the shadows for this world and Li Tang! At such a moment, you actually got into trouble with your eldest grandson Aiqing, are you going to cut off a big helper of my Datang? Li Er gasped and yelled at Li Kuan with a red face.

"Father, it's not so strict! Those big families are ambitious, but they don't have the strength to overthrow the rule of the Tang Dynasty! Li Kuan really didn't know what the strength of the family was, although he also attached great importance to the power of the family in his heart, but he never thought that a few families famous for their poetry, books and scriptures would have such a powerful armed force.

"Don't you know, as a family that can be passed down through the ages, how can their heritage be seen through at a glance? Although each one is not as good as the royal family, but several families are together, even I have to give them three points of color! The family is a big problem for the Tang Dynasty, when the foreign enemies look around, they will lie dormant in peace, let our royal family block these wolf ambitions for them in front, as long as the foreign enemies are eliminated, they will become vampires within the entire empire, compared to those alien races! Although Li Er was panting, his anger seemed to calm down a bit.

"In other words, my father married Lizhen to the eldest grandson Chong in order to unite the eldest grandson Wuji?" Li Kuan asked puzzled, he always felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, could it be that if Lizhen didn't marry in the past, the eldest grandson Wuji would stand on the side of the family? And now that Datang is surrounded by enemies, those families must still be waiting for Datang to merge with these alien races, so that their position will become more and more stable.

"Why don't you understand? The eldest grandson Wuji will not betray the Tang Dynasty, but that is the friendship between me and him, and the family relationship between your mother and him. It's not that Datang's connection with him has become so close! The royal family can't rely on me alone, but all the Li family together! So whether it's Lizhi or you, or Cheng Qian, Qingque, Ke'er, what do you princesses have to pay for Li Tang! Do you understand? Li Er's voice was cold again. Li Kuan actually thought that he was using Li Lizhi to win over the eldest grandson Wuji, which was really ridiculous. This is not just Li Lizhen alone, but also the rest of the royal children, they are all like this, but Li Lizhen and Li Kuan have the best relationship, so this kid can't accept it.

"If you need a princess to marry, why must it be beautiful? Erchen hopes that Lizhi will marry the person she likes in the future, instead of randomly identifying one like she wants to breed cattle and horses like now. Li Kuan still insisted on his opinion, at least he definitely didn't want to see Li Lizhen marry Changsun Chong.

"You...... Believe it or not, I will marry Li Xu to the eldest grandson Chong and give them a marriage? And you won't even see that day, because if you stubbornly insist on your own opinions, then I don't think this Tang Dynasty needs a prince like you! Li Er threatened.

"Father, even if he dies, his sons are against this marriage! If you really want the two of them to be combined, it will definitely end unthinkably in the future! Li Kuan held his head high and did not give in at all.

"Then I'll kill you now!" Li Er said angrily: "Someone, drag the King of Chu out, lock him in the Yeting Palace, and wait for the fate!" ”

"Your Majesty is not allowed!" Seeing that things were really getting worse and worse, Li Kuan was even about to be beaten into the Yeting Palace, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Eldest grandson Aiqing doesn't need to say it anymore, this rebel son is not taught a lesson, he really thinks that this world is his!" Li Er gasped and pulled the collar of his crown dress again.

"Your Majesty, who is this angry with? In this world, it is naturally His Majesty's! Who can take it away? A gentle voice, like a spring breeze blowing through the pine forest, resounded through the Lizheng Palace. (To be continued......)
