Chapter 207 Li Yuan is very angry

On the side.

Xue Rengui's eyes widened like copper bells.

What's going on?

How can there be such a mouth in the world?

One after another, big accusations were slapped down, and there was no way to stop them!

"The matter of bandits is of great importance, where did I go wrong?"

Li Junxian finally erupted.

The voice was loud and clear, filled with grief, indignation, and grievance!

"You're not wrong, what's wrong is your intelligence!"

Wei Shuyu sighed in exasperation: "Those who followed His Majesty at the same time as you have all become dukes!"

"And what about you..."

"Don't even mention a Duke of the State, he hasn't even become a Duke of the Prefecture, he's just a County Duke now!"

"Everyone else is fighting wars, attending court, and transitioning from military to civil service with high spirits!"

"And what about you..."

"Still guarding the gate for His Majesty!"

Why do you think you are like this?

"Let's count your achievements..."

"He defeated Song Jingang, campaigned against Wang Shichong, defeated Dou Jiande and Liu Heita, and before the Wei River Alliance, he followed Yuchi Gong in fighting against the Eastern Turks, relieving the crisis in Chang'an..."

"With your achievements and His Majesty's trust in you, the title of Duke is very likely."

"Have you never thought about why you're still working as a gatekeeper?"

ah?

Li Junxian was stunned.

He hadn't really thought about that.

Because he enjoyed Li Shimin's deep trust, he always felt that his position was no less than that of others.

As Li Shimin's personal bodyguard, he was also highly respected by the other dukes.

Upon hearing this, I realized it was true.

It's understandable that his rank was one level lower than that of other generals of the same period, given that his achievements were slightly less and he wasn't the main general during the attack.

It could be two levels lower, which is rather intriguing.

What's the reason?

Li Junxian blurted it out.

As if realizing her current position, her face immediately turned bright red.

"How dare you ask?"

Wei Shuyu pointed at the bandit leader: "The Emperor Emeritus ordered you to drag him away and chop him up. You think he'll really be chopped up?"

"You know he's important, so how could the Emperor Emeritus not know?"

"The Emperor Emeritus just wanted to scare him!"

Holy crap.

Li Junxian's eyes widened.

"Try to recall..."

"There was a time when His Majesty ordered you to drag someone away and behead them, but in reality, it was just to scare them."

"And you actually killed someone..."

"Do you think His Majesty is angry?"

"But this is His Majesty's own decree, so he can't blame you. You can only suffer in silence."

To sum it up in one sentence...

"I don't expect you to be able to fathom the Emperor's will, but if you were just a little more careful in your work, you would have been promoted to this rank long ago!"

Li Junxian was numb.

Thinking back, did this really happen?

Yes? No?

His Majesty ordered me to drag the countless people away and behead them...

"Ha ha……"

Just then, the bandit leader laughed wildly again: "The retired emperor is a figurehead, and the ministers are incompetent..."

"The capable ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty are no match for even a child..."

"Li Yuan, oh Li Yuan!"

"I think this great Tang Dynasty that you fought so hard to build will be finished sooner or later!"

Before Li Yuan could answer, Li Junxian suddenly realized...

Fuck you.

If it weren't for you, you bastard, would I have been attacked so badly?

Bang bang bang...

He grabbed his fist and gave the bandit leader a good beating.

Damn, this is so frustrating.

Finally, I have a place to vent!

After a while...

Li Junxian clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Yuan and said, "It is my foolishness that is the fault of the Emperor Emeritus."

Oh my.

Li Yuan was startled and straightened his posture.

"My dear minister, there is no need to blame yourself."

"You are doing this for my own good, and I can understand."

"We hope that you and your ministers will work together to find out the real culprit!"

Li Yuan was full of pride and felt completely refreshed.

He looked exactly like an old patron who had just come out of the brothel.

"Haha...cooperation between ruler and subject? Bah!"

The bandit leader spat out another mouthful of bloody saliva: "The retired emperor has been sidelined and needs to rely on a little brat."

"A general can't even beat a little kid."

"Such a Tang Dynasty is truly laughable!"

Damn it.

I'm ignoring you, and you're still getting worked up, aren't you?

He glanced at Wei Shuyu: It's up to you now!

have to.

Let's continue.

Wei Shuyu walked up to the bandit leader.

Do you know who you lost to this time?

"Could it be you?"

The bandit leader gave him a disdainful look.

When his gaze swept over Xue Rengui, a trace of fear still lingered.

With a sweeping motion, that halberd was unstoppable.

"It wasn't me."

Wei Shuyu shook his head and pointed at Wu Qiqi: "It's her."

"fart!"

The bandit leader was furious.

He could endure being defeated by Xue Rengui.

But he lost to a little kid, who was a girl.

How can we possibly tolerate this!

"You yourself were defeated by a little girl, what right do you have to criticize others?" Wei Shuyu mocked.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The bandit leader immediately roared, "I was captured, but by that young general in white robes!"

Xue Rengui nodded in agreement.

We deserve the most credit!

No one can take it away!

"Don't believe me?"

Wei Shuyu smiled slightly: "If you don't believe me, that's fine. Why should I waste my breath explaining to you?"

"Your Majesty, why don't we just chop him up?"

Wei Shuyu bowed to Li Yuan.

? ? ?

What do you mean?

We're all waiting for you to start criticizing us.

Li Yuan found it even more unbearable.

If Wei Shuyu weren't around, he could have just been executed.

Wei Xiaoduidui is here.

He'd absolutely regret being born!

What does it mean to kill someone by destroying their spirit...?

He must endure both physical and mental torment!

"Shuyu, this scoundrel has insulted my reputation. If I don't subdue him today, I won't be able to quell my anger, I'll be depressed, I'll be in pain, I won't be able to eat or sleep..."

Li Yuan pulled Wei Shuyu aside and spoke to him in a low voice.

"The Emperor Emeritus..."

Wei Shuyu's lips twitched: "Isn't it unnecessary to go through all this trouble? Wouldn't it be easier to just chop it up?"

"Why wouldn't it be necessary?"

Li Yuan was extremely dissatisfied: "Did you see how he insulted me? If I don't utterly humiliate him, where will I put my old face?"

Well……

You've already lost the throne, haven't you lost enough face?

What kind of look is that?

Li Yuan snorted lightly: "Count how many favors I've done for you these past few days."

"I hereby appoint you as Junior Inspector."

"Here's a blank seal for you."

"Even my own nephew doesn't side with me..."

Li Yuan began to ramble on and on.

Wei Shuyu felt a headache coming on.

"Stop, stop, stop, I'll go..."

That's more like it.

Li Yuan stroked his beard with a chuckle.

"Ha ha……"

While the two were talking, the bandit leader continued his arrogant mockery.

Even Li Junxian's furious beating couldn't stop it.

"That's hilarious..."

"The founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty could only find a sense of existence in little kids."

"Li Yuan, Li Yuan, I think you should stop calling yourself the Retired Emperor and start calling yourself the Child Emperor..."

Listening to the other party's insults.

Li Yuan's face immediately darkened again.

Retort to him.

We must make him regret ever being born!

You're wrong.

Wei Shuyu stood before the bandit leader and said, "I am not the little brat you speak of."

"I am currently serving as an Imperial Censor, thanks to His Majesty's trust."

Um?

The bandit leader was taken aback, then burst into even more arrogant laughter: "Has the Tang Dynasty fallen so low that it needs a little brat to be an official..."

"Ridiculous, pathetic..."

Huh?

It's laughable, but where does the patheticness come from?
