"Your Majesty, I have caused trouble again. I will go to Your Majesty to be punished!"

"But let me make this clear: anyone who dares to wrong my disciple, I will beat him to death right here at the palace gate!"

Li Shimin waved his hand dismissively, signaling Yuchi Jingde to get lost, and then looked back at the many officials below.

"Is there anything else?"

"If there's nothing else, court is adjourned!"

No one dared to say another word, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent. Li Shimin didn't tolerate it either, and got up to leave, but when he passed Yuchi Jingde, he secretly kicked Yuchi Jingde.

Upon seeing this, Yuchi Jingde quickly and secretly followed behind Li Shimin. After walking a dozen steps behind him, he suddenly heard Li Shimin burst into laughter.

"Yuchi Jingde, you've finally avenged me today, hahaha!"

"ah?"

"His Majesty also dislikes them?"

"They're more than just annoying; I wish I could kill them!"

"My eldest grandson risked his life to break through the city; that's a genuine meritorious deed for being the first to scale the walls!"

"You've served in the military for many years, you know how difficult it is to be the first to reach the summit, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately nodded.

"yes!"

"So many heroes died on the front lines!"

"To be honest, Your Majesty, when I saw the military report that the eldest grandson of the eldest son had led the troops to break through the city and repeatedly achieved the feat of being the first to scale the walls, I was so angry that I wanted to run to Liaodong and beat him up!"

"This child is so insensible, why is he vying for this credit?"

"Throughout history, those who were the first to scale the mountain risked their lives, with a chance of dying only once out of ten!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin finally found a kindred spirit and immediately took Yuchi Jingde to Ganlu Hall for a chat.

"That's absolutely right! I was furious back then too!"

"But I didn't let him get away with it. I found a reason to beat him up several times afterward, so badly that he was too scared to get out of bed, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately echoed.

"He deserves to be hit!"

"If my grandson dares to do such a thing, I will break one of his legs!"

"We men risked our lives, shedding blood and sweat, to earn our hard-won fame and fortune, just so that our descendants could live a better life, right?"

"However, the younger generation these days is such a worry, they're all always thinking about making a name for themselves and bringing glory to their ancestors..."

As Yuchi Jingde spoke, he secretly glanced at Li Shimin. Seeing that Li Shimin did not seem angry, he suddenly changed the subject and turned to Li Jue.

"Has His Majesty grown tired of his eldest grandson?"

Li Shimin was stunned upon hearing this.

"When did I say I was tired of him?"

"Then Your Majesty..."

"Oh, you mean Geng Jingming's matter!"

"This is a move by Ma Zhou to lure out a big fish!"
