Chapter 256 Li Yuan draws Li Shimin

They've gone mad.

The retired emperor has gone mad.

Everyone gasped in shock.

Wei Zheng wanted to stop him, but as a civil official, and with his old and frail body, how could he possibly stop him?

As for Wei Shuyu...

A steadfast bystander...

*Smack*

"ah."

Then a shrill, piercing sound rang out.

Look closely.

Wang De stood in front of Li Shimin.

The cane struck Wang De's thigh.

"Everyone, leave Da'an Palace! Clear the area! Move out!"

Even if it was taken.

Wang De also protected Li Shimin's reputation, diligently doing his duty.

Whoosh whoosh.

The three of them dashed behind the screen in a flash...

"Qiqi, hurry up and move over to another spot."

With Wu Qiqi, a frequent visitor to Da'an Palace, there was already a small stool prepared.

As for melon seeds and winter melon?

Would Li Yuan lack it?

"Father, you've gone too far!"

Li Shimin stepped forward with a grim face, just as he was about to snatch the rattan cane from Li Yuan...

"Who went too far, me or you?"

"They're always shouting about surpassing Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han..."

"So what if we surpass them?"

"If the crown prince isn't properly educated, he'll just be a stepping stone for someone else!"

"Are you planning to hand over the Tang Dynasty to outsiders...?"

As Li Yuan continued his tirade, Li Shimin's expression grew increasingly grim.

I was just thinking of replying.

*Smack*

Li Yuan lashed out with another cane.

Fortunately, Li Shimin dodged quickly and only managed to hit the ground with his whip.

"Father, if you lay a hand on me again, I will turn against you!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Li Shimin did not fly into a rage as one might expect.

He couldn't bring himself to be angry.

Li Yuan was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

However, he almost sowed the seeds of disaster for the future of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Tang Dynasty were to perish because of this, he would be the number one sinner.

"Try turning your back on me then?"

Li Yuan's eyes widened like a hungry tiger.

He rushed forward to lash out again.

"Your Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, no, we can't fight! His Majesty is the current Emperor."

Wei Shuyu quickly came out and hugged Li Yuan.

Two vines were already the limit.

If those who are his subjects don't stand up and stop it at this point, then it's simply unacceptable...

Moreover, Li Yuan suffered from a brain disorder.

If you keep smoking, then it's a real brain disease.

Li Shimin really knew how to lock up a mentally ill person...

Can't we fight anymore?

A hint of regret flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

But he couldn't swallow this insult...

Since I've already done it, I'll go ahead and do it.

Damn it.

You didn't win the draw the first time, can you believe how frustrating that is?

no.

I won't feel at ease if I don't smoke.

"ah?"

What just happened?

"Why am I carrying a rattan cane?"

"Shimin, what did I just do?"

"I won't hit you, will I?"

Li Yuan began to feign madness.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

Wei Shuyu's lips twitched.

Old Li is unwilling to accept this...

Snap.

Li Yuan sat down on the ground.

He kept tapping his head with his hand...

"My damned brain disease is so bad, it comes and goes."

"How could I possibly punish Shimin?"

"Shimin is my son, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"If this vine falls, where will the dignity of the royal family be...?"

Li Shimin sighed.

All anger dissipated.

Li Yuan is in this state.

What could he do?

Moreover, he knew that Li Yuan had not truly forgiven him.

Having seized his throne and imprisoned him for seven years, how could he so easily let go of his resentment?

He just wanted to hit himself, forget it.

Anyway, it didn't hit me...

"Father, it's alright."

Li Shimin helped Li Yuan up, saying, "You are the Emperor, so it is only natural for you to hit me."

Li Yuan tried to squeeze out a tear, but couldn't: "I'm glad you don't blame me, Shimin."

He could only obediently get up with help.

Sudden.

He twisted his ankle and fell down again.

Li Shimin instinctively bent down to help him up.

With that bend, her butt sticks out...

Li Yuan seized the opportunity.

Grab the cane!

Snap!

It was crisp and loud.

You wretched creature, I've finally drawn you!

Everyone turned around at the same time, facing away from the two people, and looked up at the sky.

His Majesty was spanked.

Is this something we should be watching?

Li Shimin covered his buttocks, his face flushed red, almost dripping blood.

The thought that this posture was beneath his dignity as the emperor made him realize that this posture was unbecoming.

He quickly put his hand down.

Who can understand that feeling of pain that you can't cover up?

Snap.

Li Yuan threw the rattan cane away.

"Shimin, what's wrong?"

Li Yuan asked with concern, "What did I just do? Did I hit you?"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth.

I can't exactly answer that I got spanked by you, can I?

Looking around, everyone had their backs to him...

"Father, you just fell down."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Your subject is supporting you."

"Yeah?"

Li Yuan, however, changed the subject, asking, "Did it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

"Father!"

Li Shimin repeated loudly, "You didn't hit me, I was the one helping you up!"

"Oh oh oh..."

Li Yuan nodded repeatedly: "I just had a brain attack, please don't worry about it!"

Grass!

Li Shimin clenched his fist.

If you weren't my own father, I would have slaughtered your entire family!

"Go back to the main hall!"

Li Shimin flicked his sleeve and stormed off in a huff.

"etc……"

Li Yuan called out to him again.

"Is there anything else, Father?" Li Shimin asked with a gloomy face.

"The matter is not yet resolved."

Li Yuan pointed at Li Chengqian and asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter, Gao Ming?"

"What brilliant idea does Father have?" Li Shimin asked coldly.

"I wouldn't call it insightful."

Li Yuan stroked his beard with a chuckle.

The angrier the beast gets, the happier we are.

"Look at the teacher you found, he's not very good either. In my opinion, you shouldn't bother finding one. From now on, I'll teach him."

You teach?

Li Shimin frowned.

"What? You doubt me?"

Snap!

Li Yuan lashed the ground with a rattan cane: "Get this straight, you were also trained by me!"

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

With your half-baked imperial balancing skills, you even managed to lose the throne.

No one can teach you this...

"Father, the Crown Prince is crucial to the future of the Tang Dynasty and needs to be taught by a renowned teacher."

Li Shimin politely declined.

"What famous teacher? Yao Siliang?"

As he spoke, Li Yuan pointed to Li Chengqian: "Look at how brilliant he is..."

"We were arguing so fiercely, and he, as the eldest grandson, didn't even try to mediate. Is this what a famous teacher teaches us?"

Um?

Li Yuan didn't mention it, and Li Shimin hadn't even realized what was happening yet.

It's one thing if others don't dare to offer advice.

As a grandson and son, are you just watching the show from the sidelines?

"clever!"

Li Shimin shouted sharply.

I was just feeling really angry and had nowhere to vent.

If it weren't for your mess, would I have been punished?

Li Shimin suddenly picked up the rattan cane that Li Yuan had thrown down...

"Shimin, what are you doing?"

Li Yuan quickly stepped in front of Li Chengqian to protect him: "You've already made Gao Ming look like this, and you still want to hit him?"

Li Shimin paused.

Looking into the distance, Li Chengqian shrank his neck, not even having the courage to meet his own gaze.

"What Gao Ming lacks now is courage and independent thinking!"

Li Yuan said with a serious expression, "I promise you, I will only teach you this and nothing else."

"no!"

Li Shimin still refused.

He allowed Li Chengqian to meet Li Yuan, but that doesn't mean he would allow the two to have more contact.

I am still in my prime.

If Li Chengqian joins forces with Li Yuan to do something, it will be troublesome to deal with.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Li Yuan's face.

The rift between the two still exists.

"Then surely I can recommend someone?" Li Yuan conceded.

Recommendation?

Li Shimin squinted.

Did the retired emperor still maintain contact with his court officials?

"who?"

Li Shimin asked.

"he!"

Li Yuan pointed to Wei Shuyu: "Shuyu's courage and insight need no further explanation."

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

"Letting the two spend more time together should improve Gao Ming's courage."

Oh, Wei Shuyu.

Li Shimin's doubts disappeared.

You know what...

Gao Ming lacks his own opinions.

On the other hand, Xiao Wei was just refuting Wei Zheng.

The two are in stark contrast in terms of personality.

"Father need not worry about this."

Li Shimin finally smiled: "Wei Shuyu was originally the Crown Prince's tutor!"
