Chapter 63: Princes in vain!

Inside the Imperial Study.

Li Deyi asked Li Si to call the prince as soon as possible.

And at this moment, Li Gan in the East Palace, his heart was anxious and wandering in the room.

After a while, Li Si's voice came from outside the hall.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty Xuan Prince will go to the imperial study to see you."

When Li Gan in the room heard this, his face changed suddenly.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!

He had to give his father an explanation for this incident, because he firmly believed that he was the crown prince after all, and he was the successor of the future Dawu Dynasty selected by his father from among many princes, besides, the mistakes he made were not irreredeemable, and Li Gan at this moment seemed to be a lot calmer.

However, for the sake of safety, before following Li Si to leave the East Palace, Li Gan specially instructed Yu Chengzhou to let him go to the imperial study to find the queen, that is, his mother, and after making these preparations, Li Qian followed Li Si to the imperial study.

In the Imperial Study.

Li Deyi looked gloomy at the things recorded in the roster in his hand.

Below, Li Gan was prostrate on the ground, his body trembling. Although he knew that his father might not punish him for this incident, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he had done it.

As the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if Li Deyi really let this matter sink into the sea because of the royal face, the big punishment may not be, but the small precept should be indispensable.

"Father, son, ......"

The atmosphere in the study was extremely heavy, and after seeing Li Deyi's ever-changing face, Li Gan finally couldn't bear this depression and wanted to speak.

But before he could finish speaking, he only heard a bang, Li Deyi slapped the table hard, and looked at Li Gan with an angry face.

"Do you know that I am your father? As the prince of my Dawu Dynasty, I should take the trust of the world and the society as my own responsibility! But look at what good you've done now! ”

"Instigating them to withhold taxes and silver, fill their own pockets, and bribe the ministers of the DPRK and China with money, you are really a good emperor of mine!"

At this moment, Li Deyi was angry, and after finishing speaking, he directly smashed the roster in his hand on Li Gan's body.

If it weren't for this roster, I'm afraid Li Deyi wouldn't have imagined that behind Shen Simiao's case, there would be so many ministers of the DPRK and China, and even the three princes and many generals of the General's Mansion were among them.

"The son is guilty!"

At this moment, Li Gan knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and now his only way out was to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Wrongdoing? I think you're desperate now, so you're admitting your mistake, right? Hmph, why do you think I handed this matter over to Chu Mo to investigate? Why did you give him half a month? ”

"From beginning to end, I knew that this matter had a lot to do with you, and I thought that you would learn a lesson and come to me in person to admit your mistakes, but you didn't."

"As the crown prince of my Dawu Dynasty and the successor of the Dawu Dynasty in the future, I would like to ask you, is it because I have mistreated you, or is there a lack of usable things in your East Palace?"

"Do you know that if this matter is known to the ministers of the court, the crown prince of my Dawu Dynasty is actually a corrupt person, if you ascend the throne in the future, who will believe you?"

Li Deyi said with hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"Father, the son is just confused for a while, and he made a big mistake, and I ask my father to forgive the son for ...... this time"

Li Qian said while kowtowing.

"Forgiveness? This matter is too big, and you can just fill your own pockets, but why do you drag so many people into this troubled water...... Three princes, more than a dozen generals commanded, the criminal department is still in the book, and the six books are in the book...... You...... This is a rebellion......"

As soon as the word rebellion came out of Li Deyi's mouth, Li Gan was suddenly so frightened that his body trembled.

"Father, the son has never had a little rebellion in his heart!"

Li Qian hurriedly explained.

Rebellion is a capital offense, which is much more serious than the crime of embezzlement of taxes and money. Moreover, in the royal family, no matter how their princes fight, Li Deyi turns a blind eye, but now in order to consolidate his position, Li Gan has used such means to attract many people, which is a big taboo in the royal family!

How the princes are fighting is a matter between the royal family, but once people outside the royal family are involved, the nature is completely different.

"Yes, you don't have the intention of rebellion, but what you are doing now is no different from rebellion, Li Gan, Li Gan, you say, what should you do with me?"

"Now the eyes of the civil and military officials are watching my actions, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this matter is inseparable from you, if you are really easily forgiven, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, but if you are severely punished, the royal family will lose face, you tell me, what should I do!"

Li Deyi said with a cold face.

When Li Gan heard this, his heart was shocked, listening to his father's words, looking at his father's cold expression at this moment, he knew that he might not be able to escape punishment this time.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

At this moment, Li Si's voice suddenly came from outside, and Li Deyi in the study heard the arrival of the queen, his eyes instantly froze, but soon, a touch of helplessness was fleeting from his face.

And Li Gan, who was prostrate on the ground, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the arrival of his mother's concubine.

The door slowly opened, and a woman with a dignified demeanor who was full of wealth, dressed in a phoenix crown, walked into the imperial study.

This person is the queen mother of today's mother, Ye.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty!"

Walking into the room, Ye first glanced at Li Gan who was prostrate on the ground, and then bowed to Li Deyi.

"Queen, why did you come here?"

The moment he saw Ye's family, the anger in Li Deyi's heart eased somewhat, and how could he not know the purpose of Ye's coming here.

"Your Majesty, the emperor is certainly at fault in this matter, but the emperor is only confused for a moment to do such a thing, the concubine begs Your Majesty to give the emperor another chance."

Looking at Li Gan, who was prostrate on the ground and was very frightened, Ye's face also showed a look of worry.

"Confused? I think he's smarter than anyone else! The queen should know better than me what the prince did! ”

As soon as Li Gan was mentioned, anger did not rise in Li Deyi's heart.

It's up to you to fill your own pockets. It's good that you not only embezzle taxes yourself, but even join forces with so many people in the court, as the crown prince, you are actually sucking the blood of the Dawu Dynasty with outsiders!

Hearing Li Deyi's words, Ye's body trembled violently, as Li Deyi said, she had known about this matter for a long time. Moreover, even her two brothers were involved in this matter.

Seeing that Ye was not speaking, Li Deyi couldn't help but snort coldly. Then he slowly sat down on the chair, looked up, and waved his hand: "Get out of here!" I don't want to see you! ”
