Chapter 3 Li Shimin's Complete Defeat
You still dare to report this to the authorities?
Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
If he were an ordinary citizen, daring to speak so frankly about Fang Xuanling would truly be breaking the law.
"Stop him."
Li Shimin waved his hand.
He sneaked out today. If word got out that he got into a fight with a child, wouldn't he have any shame?
Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stepped forward.
As an emperor, Li Shimin might only see Wei Shuyu once a year or every few years.
He had recognized Wei Shuyu long ago.
With a casual grab, Choi Shin-ki was lifted up by him.
"You bastard, let me go, or I'll have my dad kill you!" Choi Shin-ki roared madly.
Who are you going to kill?
Cheng Yaojin turned Choi Shin-ki's face towards himself.
"I want...I...Cheng..."
Upon seeing Cheng Yaojin, Choi Shin-ki was terrified.
Cheng Yaojin's second wife was from the Cui family of Qinghe. How could she not know Cheng Yaojin?
"Shut up if you don't want to die."
Snap.
Cheng Yaojin casually tossed him aside.
Choi Shin-ki was terrified and trembling.
After racking his brains, he finally came up with a solution...
"Oh no, I'm dizzy."
Then he started playing dead again.
"Boy, let's see what you can do this time!" Li Shimin laughed heartily.
Fang Xuanling stepped forward again, but was pushed away by Li Shimin.
"So you're bullying the weak with the many of you, using your size to your advantage?"
Wei Shuyu put down the copper coins he was carrying.
"Come on, will you come one by one, or all at once?"
Wei Shuyu stretched his limbs and looked at the group provocatively.
He observed that apart from Cheng Yaojin, who posed a slight threat, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and others were all scholars, so he wasn't afraid at all.
Oh ho?
This arrogant demeanor actually amused Li Shimin.
"You've got guts." Li Shimin praised, "For the sake of you being a man, return the copper coins to them, bow your head and admit your mistake, and we'll let this matter go."
"You dare not?" Wei Shuyu put his left hand behind his back: "I'll give you one hand."
Are you getting too big for your britches?
This made Li Shimin lose his temper.
"Kid, you'd better behave and listen to me, or you'll regret it."
Fang Xuanling stepped forward again, only to be ruthlessly pushed away by Li Shimin once more.
"You're afraid to report to the authorities, and you don't dare to fight back. I think you're a good-for-nothing."
Wei Shuyu picked up the copper coin and carried it on his shoulder: "I'm just passing by you today, let's see if you dare to make a move."
And so, Wei Shuyu walked past Li Shimin with his head held high and chest out.
Li Shimin stood there dumbfounded.
To be honest, he really didn't dare to make a move.
He was the emperor.
If word got out that he was bullying a kid who was only ten years old, wouldn't people laugh him to death?
"stop."
Li Shimin roared.
However, Wei Shuyu ignored this.
"Ugh, I'm so angry!"
Enraged, Li Shimin threw a jade pendant he always carried at the scene.
Bang.
Unfortunately, it hit Wei Shuyu on the back.
Wei Shuyu picked up the jade pendant, examined it and saw that its quality was good, then stuffed it directly into his pocket...
"Are you ever going to stop?"
Are you going to apologize or not?
Why should I apologize?
"You're robbing people."
Have you ever seen a robber take on eight people all by himself?
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately stunned.
He only saw Wei Shuyu slap someone on the forehead and collect money; he really didn't know what had happened.
"Then why should they give you money?" Li Shimin asked again.
"What's your wife's name?" Wei Shuyu asked in return.
"Are these two things related?"
"What does my business have to do with you?"
Li Shimin suffered a complete defeat.
Think of him, the mighty Li Shimin, who won the world.
And now we've been defeated by a mere greenhorn.
"They're gone."
Wei Shuyu waved his hand dismissively.
Li Shimin was a monarch who was extremely concerned with saving face, and he was just about to go after him...
Fang Xuanling stepped forward once again!
"Xuanling, what is it you want? You've stopped me several times today."
Li Shimin was furious and extremely irritable.
"Your Majesty, he is Wei Shuyu, the son of Xuancheng."
What?
Li Shimin was shocked and his hand even trembled.
Li Shimin, who feared neither heaven nor earth, had only one fear: Wei Zheng!
You should know that he secretly slipped out of the palace this time.
If Wei Zheng found out, he would surely nag him about it for three days and three nights.
If the attitude of self-reflection is not sincere, this period may be prolonged.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Li Shimin scolded sternly.
Leaving the palace was one thing, but he also bullied Wei Zheng's son.
Damn it, if Wei Zheng finds out, will he really let me off easily?
Fang Xuanling wanted to cry but had no tears.
Your Majesty, I've reminded you four times already, but you're the one who won't let me speak.
Of course, Fang Xuanling dared not say these words aloud; he could only grit his teeth and swallow them.
"Return to the palace."
Li Shimin flicked his sleeve.
Just then, by sheer coincidence, he stepped on Choi Shin-ki, who was lying on the ground.
Choi Shin-ki exclaimed "Ah!" and stood up.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Choi Shin-ki quickly bowed.
"You heard everything?" Li Shimin's face was terribly gloomy.
If word gets out about what happened today, he will not only be nagged by Wei Zheng, but he will also lose face completely.
“Your Majesty, please forgive me, this child is Cui Yixuan’s son.” Upon seeing this, Cheng Yaojin immediately stepped forward.
"Watch your mouths and pretend nothing happened today, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin could only resort to verbal threats.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Choi Shin-ki nodded repeatedly.
Li Shimin was about to leave when he stopped in his tracks: "By the way, why did you give Wei Shuyu money?"
"Waaah..."
At this point, Choi Shin-ki couldn't hold back his tears and cried out, "Your Majesty, he robbed us!"
"Robbery?" Li Shimin exclaimed in surprise, "Is he really robbing us?"
"Yes, yes."
"So all eight of you were robbed by him alone?"
"Uh...yes."
"waste."
Cheng Yaojin kicked him to the ground.
Eight against one and they still couldn't beat him, it's utterly shameful.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have pleaded for Choi Shin-ki.
“Your Majesty, we cannot interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. If it were eight fighting over one, we could still uphold justice. But one fighting over eight…” Cheng Yaojin’s voice grew softer and softer.
Because he saw that Li Shimin was about to explode with anger.
"Damn Wei Shuyu."
As if in an attempt to regain lost face, Li Shimin began to relentlessly pursue the truth...
"Tell me, why did he rob you?"
It's over.
Choi Shin-ki felt dizzy.
He realized that his tearful outburst not only failed to bring him the comfort he needed, but also left him feeling trapped.
"This...that...ah, I'm dizzy."
Bang.
Before he could even lie down, Cheng Yaojin kicked him up.
"Speak!" Cheng Yaojin shouted.
To dare to feign ignorance in front of His Majesty is a crime of deceiving the emperor.
"It's the Crown Prince..."
As Choi Shin-ki recounted his story, Li Shimin finally understood the cause and effect.
After all that, the culprit turned out to be his own son.
"Return to the palace!"
