Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming were shocked.
The two of them fought openly and secretly, constantly roping in the courtiers who had not taken sides. This was naturally known to everyone, including their father, Li Yuan.
It was just that everyone knew about this matter. No one brought it up to the table.
This young genius had completely ignored the unspoken rules of the Tang Imperial Court and exposed the Second Prince's intentions without any fear.
For a moment, the two brothers looked embarrassed and did not respond.
"I, Li Zhao, appreciate the good intentions of the Crown Prince and His Highness. If the two of you wish to discuss with me how to make the Great Tang strong, we can talk through the night, but if you only wish to rope me into your side, then please leave.”
Li Zhao stood up and made a gesture to send the guest off.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming were shocked once again, and their eyes were filled with shock and confusion. They couldn't believe that Li Zhao would treat them like this.
One had to know that all the important officials of the imperial court had been dug up by them.
Other than Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, and a few other old officials who were loyal to Li Yuan, Li Jing, Li Shentong, and a few other generals who had made extraordinary contributions, the rest of the officials had already chosen to take sides.
They had no choice!
Everyone knew that the emperor was old, and the world would soon be either the crown prince or the king of Qin. If you didn't have a deep background like Li Jing and still wanted to be neutral, you would be punished in the future.
This young genius who had just arrived in Chang 'an had no foundation in the imperial court, yet he dared to openly reject Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's invitations!
What was he trying to do?
Could it be that he wanted to remain neutral like Li Jing?
In this way, he would definitely offend the future emperor and end his future.
The two Li brothers couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they thought. They couldn't figure out what Li Zhao was thinking.
Unfortunately, they were completely unaware that the Li Zhao standing in front of him had come out of the mountain with the goal of dealing with the two of them. Why would he rely on them?
Li Zhao wanted to be the third force in the court, suppressing the Crown Prince and the King of Qin, making them behave themselves with their tails between their legs!
The conversation had already reached a dead end. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin felt awkward. If they stayed any longer, it would be boring for them. They could only leave with deep confusion in their hearts.
"Brother Zhao, I heard that in the imperial court, it's either the Crown Prince or the King of Qin's people. The Emperor is almost figurehead.”
Zhao Yu 'er looked at the Second Prince who left with a flick of his sleeve. A hint of worry could not help but appear on her pretty face as she reminded him softly.
"Do you think I'm afraid of offending them?" Li Zhao asked with a cold smile.”
Zhao Yu 'er was stunned. Her slender hands immediately hugged Li Zhao's arm, and she looked up at him with adoring eyes.
"I almost forgot. Brother Zhao, you're the invincible war god. There's nothing you're afraid of in this world. At most, we'll just go far away and Yu 'er will accompany you.”
Li Zhao smiled and lightly tapped her nose with his fingertip.
……
In the Eastern Palace.
Li Jiancheng left excitedly, but when he returned, his face was full of anger. He smashed his sword on the table.
"Your Highness, could it be that that brat doesn't know how to appreciate favors and actually rejected the Crown Prince's invitation?”
King Qi Li Yuanji came over. Without asking, he could tell from Li Jiancheng's expression that something was amiss.
"Not only did he not know how to appreciate favors, BenGong didn't even have the chance to speak before he exposed BenGong's intentions and publicly rejected, making BenGong very embarrassed!”
Li Jiancheng was indignant and full of anger.
When Li Yuanji heard this, he was instantly enraged. He joined Li Jiancheng in scolding Li Zhao.
" I didn't expect that this Li Zhao would actually join the Qin King's side. This child is now unrivaled in prestige and might even be the young God of War who resolved the siege of Chang 'an. It's really disadvantageous for us if the Qin King has this person's assistance.”
Wei Zheng's expression was ashen, and his tone was extremely solemn.
Li Jiancheng snorted." You don't have to worry about that. Not only did this kid reject me, but he also rejected my second brother."”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng and Li Yuanji were shocked.
"This kid is too arrogant. He actually rejected all of them? What was he trying to do? Wasn't he afraid that he would be punished in the future?”
Li Yuanji clicked his tongue in wonder, his face filled with disbelief.
"Who knows? This Li Zhao is unpredictable in every way. Bengong is increasingly feeling that he is unfathomable!”
Li Jiancheng sounded helpless.
The two of them were already used to the current power structure. The sudden appearance of Li Zhao, an anomaly who "broke" the rules, was naturally puzzling.
Wei Zheng pondered for a long time and quietly shivered.
"Could it be that this child wants to become the third force in the Imperial Court? If that's really the case, then the power structure of the Great Tang will undergo an earth-shattering upheaval…"
