Right Wu Hou General's Mansion.
In the backyard.
He woke up in the morning.
Li Yi felt very hungry, and no one brought him food.
Li Yi was about to climb over the wall and leave.
"Good morning, Master!"
Suddenly, a group of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
"Open the door."
Yuchi Jingde's voice came from outside.
"Yes, Master."
Then came the servant's voice.
Li Yi felt that something had changed that he did not know about.
Because Yuchi Jingde had come alone yesterday, there was absolutely no need for him to bring an extra group of people today.
"Anyway, we can leave at any time. Let's see what changes have happened first!”
Li Yi, who was checking the surroundings of the courtyard to see where he could leave, thought to himself.
Then, he sat back down on the stone table and chair in the corner of the courtyard.
Creak!
Yuchi Jingde was the first to walk into the courtyard when the door opened. Behind him was a sixty-year-old high-ranking official dressed in purple official robes. He was hale and hearty and had a dignified aura. Behind the high-ranking official were two teams of twenty soldiers dressed in bright armor and carrying Mo sabers at their waists.
"Is he the storytelling monk you were kidnapped on the street?”
The official walked in front of Li Yi and sized him up before turning his gaze to Yuchi Jingde.
"Yes, he is."
Yuchi Jingde was certain.
Seeing Li Yi again, Yuchi Jingde felt a little regretful. He really didn't expect that the storyteller monk whom he had kidnapped on the streets yesterday on a whim to tell a story for him, who he thought had no power or influence, would actually alarm the Emperor and even order him to enter the palace to be punished.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have forcefully abducted Li Yi. It was all his fault for being possessed yesterday.
"Little Master, you're saved!"
Hearing Yuchi Jingde admit that the young monk before him was the storyteller monk that he had kidnapped, Fang Xuanling immediately walked up to Li Yi and said.
"What? Am I saved?"
Li Yi stood up with a dumbfounded expression.
He had never expected that someone from the Imperial Court would come to save him.
But he didn't know anyone in the imperial court!
Other than Great Tang's Right Prime Minister Zhangsun Wuji, there were only Du He, Fang Jun, Wei Shu Wan, Gao Chun Xing, and those few fellows.
Li Yi guessed that there was only one person who could make Yuchi Jingde yield.
That was the current Emperor of the Great Tang, Li Shimin.
However, for Li Shiming to step forward, even Zhangsun Wuji would not be able to do so.
Therefore, Li Yi was very curious. Who was it that persuaded Li Shiming?
As for Du He, Fang Jun, Wei Shuwan, and Gao Chunxing, Li Yi didn't even think about them.
They only knew how to walk cocks and fight dogs all day long and went to brothels. In their father's eyes, they were probably not liked, but they could not play such a big role.
Li Yi had never thought that Du He, Fang Jun, Wei Shuwan, and Gao Chunxing had joined forces to persuade their father to impeach Yuchi Jingde. In addition, Zhangsun Wuji and Li Chunfeng, whom he had just met, had angered Li Shimin and ordered him to bring Yuchi Jingde into the palace.
"But I don't need to be saved!”
Li Yi thought to himself.
His individual strength was already comparable to Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, Li Yuanba, and the other Peerless Battle Generals.
If anyone wanted to stop him, an army of less than 1,000 people would be a fool's dream. Even if it was an army of more than 1,000 people, it was still unknown whether they could stop him. Anyway, Li Yi had not tested it out yet.
Previously, when Li Yi was kidnapped by Yuchi Jingde on the streets, the reason why he didn't retaliate was because he didn't want to injure the soldiers and end up being wanted by the Imperial Court, becoming a wanted criminal, and then becoming a bandit.
After all, he had transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty and had a storytelling system. A beautiful and leisurely life was within reach. Why would he take the risk and become a wanted criminal?
As for the small courtyard that trapped him, he could come and go as he pleased.
Thus, Yuchi Jingde's threat to Li Yi was nothing more than a joke.
"His Majesty has already issued a decree to summon Little Master and Yuchi Jingde into the palace. Regarding Yuchi Jingde's actions, His Majesty will deal with them impartially after finding out the reason, so Little Master need not worry.”
Fang Xuanling continued to explain when he saw Li Yi's stunned expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After regaining his senses, Li Yi cupped his hands in gratitude.
No matter what, whether Li Shiming really saved him or not, Li Shiming was the emperor, so it was necessary for him to thank Li Shiming.
"Since Li Shi Min wants to see me, since I have nothing to do, I'll go into the palace to see him, the 'One Emperor of the Millennium'!”
Li Yi thought to himself.
Following that, Li Yi and Yuchi Jingde were led by Fang Xuanling out of the General's Residence and towards the Imperial Palace.
……
Chang 'an City, Tang Empire's Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.
Tang Emperor Li Shi Min wore a dragon robe and sat on his throne with a dignified aura.
Li Chunfeng, Zhangsun Wuji, Gao Shilian, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling stood on the left and right.
Li Yi and Yuchi Jingde stood in the middle of the hall.
"Little Master Li Yi, I have long heard of your name!”
After entering the palace, Li Shimin ignored Yuchi Jingde and turned his gaze to Li Yi.
"What do you mean by that, Emperor?"
Li Yi was confused.
"Last time, I was discussing border matters with my beloved ministers, but my imperial uncle was late for an entire two hours because he listened to your story. In addition, you wrote the few popular and high-quality love poems in Chang 'an recently, didn't you?”
Li Shi Min looked at Li Yi with interest.
"Those poems were indeed composed by commoners. I didn't expect that even Your Majesty would have heard of them. As for Lord Zhangsun being late for the meeting because he listened to this commoner's storytelling, this matter was Lord Zhangsun's responsibility. This commoner could not be blamed.”
Li Shi Min's words made Li Yi realize what was going on and he continued.
"I haven't said anything yet, and you've already pushed away all your responsibilities. I heard that after you were forcefully abducted by the guilty minister, Yuchi Jingde, Imperial Uncle entered the palace that very night to impeach the guilty minister, Yuchi Jingde.”
Looking at Zhangsun Wuji who was standing awkwardly at the side, Li Shiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Li Shi Min's words made Li Yi instantly understand. The reason why Li Shi Min had made a move was because Zhangsun Wu Ji had impeached Yuchi Jing De.
However, Li Yi guessed that Zhangsun Wuji wasn't the only reason Li Shiming was able to make a move. At the very least, Li Chunfeng, who was standing beside him, must have contributed a lot as well.
"Thank you, Lord Zhangsun."
Li Yi recorded Zhangsun Wuji's kindness in his heart and cupped his hands in gratitude.
"There, there. Maintaining the laws of the Great Tang is the duty of the officials of the Great Tang.”
Being thanked by Li Yi, who seemed to be unwilling to pay attention to him and did not give him face, Zhangsun Wuji felt very comfortable in his heart.
Seeing that Li Yi only thanked Zhangsun Wuji and left them out, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Gao Chunxing, and Li Chunfeng didn't feel jealous.
Although they had helped Li Yi, it was understandable that Li Yi did not know about this.
