Chapter 90 Li Shimin and his son quarrel
Why did you come here?
Wei Shuyu asked with a solemn expression.
Li Yuan's former subordinates were already feared by Li Shimin.
This group of people were not only founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but also had impressive backgrounds.
If they unite and launch an attack, it would be enough to shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
"I heard that the Emperor Emeritus is critically ill, and my father ordered me to come and visit him," Pei Chengxian replied.
"right."
"That's right."
"That's absolutely right..."
Everyone responded.
The group of people were of varying ages, ranging from about the same age as Wei Shuyu to the oldest being in their twenties.
Li Shimin forbade their fathers from returning to Chang'an.
But there are fewer concerns when it comes to these children.
"Is the Emperor Emeritus critically ill?"
Wei Shuyu looked at Fang Yi'ai.
"His health is indeed not as good as before, but he should not be in critical condition."
“That’s right, boss, this is just fake news,” Choi Shin-ki replied.
"Fake?"
Everyone was shocked.
“Xiao Shouye, others may not know, but you should, right?” Wei Shuyu looked at Xiao Shouye.
Of this group, only Xiao Yu remained in the palace, serving as the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince. (Li Gang died in the fifth year of the Zhenguan era.)
“This…” Xiao Shouye stammered, his face flushed: “To be honest, the Crown Prince made a lot of mistakes a few days ago. His Majesty reprimanded my grandfather for not knowing how to teach people, and he has been idle at home for more than half a month.”
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
It seems Xiao Yu was afraid of losing face, so she didn't spread the news.
Li Shimin was afraid that the crown prince's embarrassing incident would be exposed, so he did not issue an announcement.
The case is solved...
Xu Lishi finally understood why Xiao Shouye cowered when he saw Wei Shuyu.
Xiao Yu has been temporarily suspended from his post.
If his grandson causes any more trouble, would Li Shimin still feel comfortable entrusting the crown prince to his care?
If he can't even teach his own grandson, how can he teach the crown prince?
It would be strange if Li Shimin didn't dismiss him.
"etc……"
Wei Shuyu stopped them from speaking: "Even if you received news of the Emperor Emeritus's critical illness, why did you all arrive on the same day?"
The group exchanged glances.
"Actually, we arrived near Chang'an a long time ago, but because of our sensitive identities, it was not appropriate for us to enter together... The messenger said that we could enter Chang'an in a few days."
In a few days?
Are you so confident?
"Then why did you come to Niujia Village?"
Wei Shuyu asked again.
"Someone told me that there are treasures of the retired emperor in Niujia Village."
"The message I received was that the Emperor Emeritus lost a treasure in Niujia Village."
“That’s even more outrageous. I said there’s a crucial clue here that the retired emperor has returned to the throne…”
One by one, everyone took turns speaking.
Soon, the sound grew softer and softer.
They discovered that they seemed to have been caught up in a grand conspiracy.
"This pot is no simple thing..." Choi Shin-ki said, shaking his head.
Well, even Choi Sin-ki noticed.
Wei Shuyu pondered...
It is quite obvious that Li Shimin's search for the Imperial Seal has been leaked.
Those behind the scenes are not inclined to take the initiative.
This naturally attracted the descendants of Li Yuan's former subordinates who had gathered near Chang'an.
This group of people probably can't get anything done.
However, their intrusion could very well give the person behind the scenes an opportunity to take advantage of the situation...
"Go back, all of you. The things in Niujia Village are not for you to covet."
Wei Shuyu began to drive people away.
"So what exactly is in Niujia Village?" Xu Lishi asked stubbornly.
"I want to know."
Wei Shuyu smiled and waved his hand: "Come, let me tell you."
Xu Lishi walked blankly to Wei Shuyu's side.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head.
"If you feel it's too tiring to have your head hanging on your neck, then keep asking."
Wow.
The group of people who were listening intently all changed color.
The more you know, the faster you die.
Especially these descendants of Li Yuan's former subordinates, they held Chang'an in awe.
"Everyone, disperse."
Finally, Xiao Shouye spoke up and dispersed the crowd.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace.
After Li Shimin left the court, he also received a report from a secret agent.
Without saying a word, he went straight to Da'an Palace.
Da'an Palace.
It was originally built by Li Yuan as a residence for the King of Qin.
After being forced to abdicate, Li Yuan occupied the Taiji Palace for three years before Li Shimin finally moved him to the Da'an Palace.
At this moment, Li Yuan, now sixty-eight years old, was lying on the couch in a completely shameless manner, enjoying a massage from a palace maid...
A few years ago, I could party every night, but now I'm too tired to do so.
As for writing, no one would appreciate it anyway...
After a while, I got too lazy to write or draw anymore.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty."
As soon as Li Shimin entered the palace, he bowed to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, lying there as if nothing was wrong.
"Father, your old ministers have gathered in Chang'an," Li Shimin said again.
bass.
Li Yuan suddenly sat up straight: "They've come to rescue me?"
Li Shimin remained silent with a stern face.
The excitement in Li Yuan's eyes gradually faded, and he finally lay back down on the couch.
“They are their descendants.” After a moment, Li Shimin said, “Some people spread rumors that you were critically ill, and they came to visit you.”
"Rumors?" Li Yuan gave a lazy, cold laugh. "Does anyone dare to pull any tricks in front of you?"
"Then what brings you to me?"
"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you intervene and persuade them to return," Li Shimin said, bowing.
Don't underestimate these young people; their influence is enormous.
One or two, Li Shimin could ignore them.
However, everyone joined together to visit Li Yuan in Chang'an.
If Li Shimin refused to grant Li Yuan an audience, these former subordinates of Li Yuan would begin to harbor other thoughts...
Do you think I will intervene?
The mockery on Li Yuan's face intensified.
"This matter concerns the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and I humbly request Your Majesty to intervene." Li Shimin bowed.
Bang.
Li Yuan suddenly smashed a fruit plate in front of him at Li Shimin's feet.
Li Yuan roared ferociously, "You beast, how dare you come to beg me?"
"Didn't you say that the world is thriving under your rule?"
"Didn't you conquer and destroy the Turks and be honored as the Heavenly Khan?"
"Didn't you aspire to surpass Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han...?"
"With your abilities, do you really need an old man like me to help you?"
Li Yuan roared fiercely.
Having gone from being a ruler to a prisoner, Li Yuan's mentality had already become somewhat distorted.
Although Li Shimin never neglected Li Yuan in terms of food and drink.
But seven years... a full seven years.
That's not all...
Whenever Li Shimin accomplished something, he would order someone to inform Li Yuan.
Perhaps it was an obsession in Li Shimin's heart.
He wanted to prove to his father that he could do better than Li Jiancheng.
However, he overlooked the fact that Li Yuan was originally the emperor, and all his achievements should rightfully belong to Li Yuan.
At least that's what Li Yuan thought.
Every time Li Shimin flaunted his wealth, it was like rubbing salt into Li Yuan's wounds...
Li Shimin waved his hand with a gloomy expression.
The eunuchs and palace maids understood and bowed as they withdrew from the palace.
"What? Are you afraid of others hearing about your lofty ambitions?" Li Yuan sneered sinisterly.
"Father..."
Li Shimin wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Yuan.
Bang.
Li Yuan overturned the table to the ground and pointed at Li Shimin, cursing him furiously...
"You even stole my throne."
"You've kept me under house arrest for seven years..."
Tell me, how can I help you? How should I help you?
"If you were in that situation, would you help someone who has imprisoned themselves for seven years?"
Without his men watching over him, Li Yuan became even more ferocious, his hysterical state suggesting he wanted nothing more than to tear Li Shimin apart...
"Father, I can handle this matter myself; I don't need your help!"
"Your Majesty, I'm just afraid of trouble." As he spoke, a murderous glint flashed in Li Shimin's eyes: "I'm even more afraid of accidentally slaughtering a few of your old ministers!"
"Then go and kill them."
Li Yuan roared like a madman, "Anyway, you're used to killing people!"
“Your Majesty, I am discussing this with you!” Li Shimin’s attitude was resolute: “If you are willing to step forward, a massacre can be avoided.”
"roll!"
"Father, you were like this back then, always trying to maintain a balance and suppressing your son at every turn. Are you still so stubborn now?"
"I told you to get out!"
Li Yuan grabbed a pillow and threw it at them.
Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
