Shen Lian nodded and waved at the two guards again.
Two guards grabbed Wu Qishan's arms and dragged him out of Taiji Palace with cold expressions.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty…"
"I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please show mercy!"
Wu Qishan's terrified cries grew further and further away.
Soon, he could no longer hear it.
In Taiji Palace, all the civil and military officials were dumbfounded as they watched Wu Qishan being dragged away.
The little emperor was truly arbitrary!
He was exiled because he didn't like to eat melon seeds?!
This was a muddle-headed ruler who had a 90% chance of becoming the emperor!
Among the officials, some were heartbroken and wished they could stand up and refute.
As the Prime Minister, Pei Ji was the first to step out and say anxiously,""Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been a case of an emperor exiling a subject for not liking to eat melon seeds!”
"There wasn't before, but now there is." Li Tai blinked.”
Pei Ji was speechless.
This seemed to make sense!
But wasn't the main point wrong?
Pei Ji resisted the urge to curse and said loudly,"This old minister is thinking for Your Majesty. If this matter is recorded in the history books in the future, won't Your Majesty become a fatuous ruler?”
Li Tai pondered for a moment and said,"Do you think that if I don't think twice, someone will rebel?"”
Pei Ji was speechless.
All the officials were speechless.
Li Jiancheng was speechless.
Li Yuanji was speechless.
Li Er was speechless.
Rebellion?
Build my ass!
The King of Qin who had conquered half of the country was here. Who would dare to rebel?
Who had the ability to rebel?
Pei Ji felt very tired." Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Can you report this matter to the Supreme Emperor first?"”
In his heart, Pei Ji wondered if the Supreme Emperor had made the wrong choice by abdicating the throne to Li Tai. This Lord was too arbitrary and unreliable. He had only sat on the throne for less than an incense stick of time, and how many people had suffered?!
If this continued…
Wouldn't all the civil and military officials feel threatened?
Li Tai thought for a moment and said,"Then I'll tell Imperial Grandfather after the morning court session."”
Pei Ji wiped his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. He wished he could fly to the Supreme Emperor right now and tell him about the morning court session. He wanted the Supreme Emperor to quickly think of a way to see if he could make Li Tai withdraw his divine power. This divine power was too f * cking terrifying!
At this time, Li Tai no longer paid attention to Pei Ji. He looked at Wang Yuan and Liu Yu.
Wang Yuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Liu Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Works, looked at Li Tai, who was sitting cross-legged on the throne, in fear.
In that instant, Wu Qishan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was gone!
Who knows, the two of them might be gone in the next moment!
No, he had to think carefully before answering!
Wang Yuan and Liu Yu secretly cursed in their hearts. They definitely couldn't learn from Wu Qishan.
Wu Qishan, this fool, really treated this little Emperor as a child. Didn't he see how many people he had dealt with, yet he still dared to look down on him!
"Wang Yuan, do you like melon seeds?" Li Tai blinked.”
Wang Yuan hurriedly nodded." I like it. I like melon seeds the most. I like whatever Your Majesty likes!"”
Li Tai nodded in satisfaction, then asked,""Then do you know the easiest way to eat melon seeds?”
Wang Yuan was stunned. Why was there a next question? He thought for a moment and bowed slightly."I feel that it's the most convenient to let others help kowtow!”
Li Tai tilted his head to look at Liu Yu and said in a childish voice,""What do you think?"
Liu Yu hurriedly said,"I think Assistant Minister Wang is right. It's the most convenient to let others help kowtow!"”
Bang!
Li Tai patted the handle of the throne heavily. His voice was tender but could not hide his anger.
"How can the two of you be like this? The easiest way to eat melon seeds is to not eat them. Not eating melon seeds is the most convenient way. You think you can save trouble? Does that save others trouble?"
"From your answers, I can tell that you two are opportunistic people. Shen Lian, put Wang Yuan and Liu Yu in jail and order the Supreme Court, the Imperial Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice to interrogate them.”
"Here!"
Shen Lian nodded solemnly and waved his hand.
Four guards walked up and grabbed Wang Yuan and Liu Yu's arms, dragging them out of Taiji Palace.
Wang Yuan and Liu Yu immediately panicked and said anxiously,"
"Your Majesty, this subject is wronged, this subject is wronged!”
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
"Whether you're innocent or not, let's talk in prison!”
Li Tai replied angrily. Then, he looked at all the officials in the court who were in a daze. He pointed at a person standing in the ranks of the officials and said angrily,"Let me ask you, if you were the one answering, how would you answer my question?”
Li Er raised his head and stared at him.
The person pointed at by Li Tai was Li Er!
Sensing the strange gazes from the officials, Li Er's eyes twitched.""Of course not."
"Well said!"
Li Tai patted his chubby hands and said in satisfaction,""Not kowtowing is the most convenient. Qin Wang, your answer is very good. I will reward that luminous pearl to you! Shen Lian, pass the luminous pearl to the king of Qin!”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Shen Lian bowed and walked towards Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji laughed in anger.
Li Jiancheng was also slightly angry.
If he still couldn't see through it, he would really be a f * cking fool. This little emperor was clearly targeting them, the princelings!
All the officials in the court reacted at this moment, and their expressions instantly turned solemn.
Wu Qishan, Wang Yuan, and Liu Yu.
It was all before Li Tai sat on the throne that he had taken sides and expressed his goodwill to the Crown Prince.
Li Tai wasn't setting a question. He was using the name of setting a question to settle scores with them!
Now, it was even more different. Li Tai once again used the reward of answering questions to demand the luminous pearl from Li Yuanji!
At this moment, Shen Lian strode to Li Yuanji, opened his palm and said coldly,""Your Highness King Qi, please hand over the Night-Luminescent Pearl.”
Li Yuanji held the wooden box with the luminous pearl tightly in his arms and said angrily,""Why? This luminous pearl does not belong to His Majesty. If His Majesty wants to reward it, he can reward it with his own things!”
"You mean this Night-Luminescent Pearl is yours?”
A confused child's voice came from the throne,"
"That's not right. I heard that this Night-Luminescent Pearl was salvaged from the moat and was given to Zhang Kong by Consort Yin De as a gift to apologize to the King of Qin. How did it become yours, King Qi? Are you lying to me? If you lie to me, it's the crime of deceiving the emperor. I can exile you two thousand miles!”
What the f * ck-
Li Yuanji's expression changed drastically.
"Third Brother, how can we not give what His Majesty wants?" Li Jiancheng suddenly said. Why aren't you giving the luminous pearl to Shen Lian?”
"But-"
Li Yuanji wanted to say something but hesitated. This luminous pearl was his brother's favorite. If it wasn't for the fact that he was working with Consort Yin Defei to deal with King Qin's Mansion, his brother wouldn't have taken it out.
It was clearly theirs now.
They took it out, but it didn't belong to them!
The key was that it had become something that did not belong to him, but it had to fall into the hands of his arch-enemy, King Qin's Mansion's Li Er!
Wasn't this disgusting?
"Here!" Li Jiancheng shouted in a low voice.
"Take it, take it!"
Li Yuanji angrily threw the wooden box in his hand to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian took the wooden box, walked to Li Er and handed it over.
Li Er did not stand on ceremony and directly hugged him. Feeling Li Yuanji's fierce glare, he calmly turned his head away and did not look at him. He cursed in his heart, What's the use of staring at something my fourth brother gave me? If you have the ability, come and snatch it.
Look at how powerful my fourth brother is.
You snatched my throne and gave me a luminous pearl as compensation!
The more Li Er thought about it, the more sour his heart felt. He stared at the throne under Li Tai's butt, and his lips trembled. If only Li Tai wasn't his biological son, then he could put the Night Pearl in his hand on his big plate. Snatching my throne, you're really something!
