When they heard this voice, Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji's expressions changed at the same time.
Whatever he was afraid of, it would come.
The two of them hurriedly walked out of the inner room.
Li Yuan's eyes were red as he walked in with an angry face. The eunuchs and serving girls beside him did not dare to stop him.
Looking at the lion-like Li Yuan, Li Shiming cursed in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile.
"I don't know who caused Retired Emperor to be so furious. Please tell me, Retired Emperor. I will punish him severely.”Li Shi Min said.
"Stop pretending. Li Shiming, how many more things are you hiding from me?”
Li Yuan's face was filled with rage as he glared at Li Shiming with his red eyes.
Retired Emperor, His Majesty has always been diligent…"
As Li Shiming's considerate little girl, Zhangsun Wuji quickly came out to smooth things over. However, before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan glared at him."Zhangsun Wuji, who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak to me? Did I let you speak?”
Zhangsun Wuji was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Ever since the incident at Xuanwu Sect, Li Yuan had no good impression of Li Shiming and his loyal followers.
Among Li Yuan's many sons, his favorite was Li Jiancheng. He had also been very fond of Li Shiming.
After all, his two sons, one in charge of internal affairs and the other in charge of external affairs, had built the Great Tang. But Li Shiming had been so ambitious that he had coveted the throne and killed Li Jiancheng, his own brother.
Regarding this matter, Li Yuan had always been brooding over it, and his love for Li Shiming had directly risen to the level of dislike.
Now that another of his sons had died, how could Li Yuan not be furious?
He even wanted to kill Li Shiming, but he had no military power, and the old officials of the Great Tang had all been subdued by Li Shiming.
This made Li Yuan feel extremely aggrieved, which made him even angrier.
"Retired Emperor, zhen really doesn't know what you're talking about.”Li Shi Min could only ask a question.
"Alright, since you don't know, I'll tell you one by one. Ye Qiu of Dangyang is just a bandit, yet you don't want to exterminate him and instead pay him compensation. Where is the dignity of the Great Tang? Now, that Ye Qiu actually killed Li Hancheng, the Prince of Guangyang, and you don't know anything about it.”Li Yuan said angrily.
"What? Ye Qiu actually killed King Guangyang? What a bold Ye Qiu. He really makes me angry. Father, don't worry. I will definitely give you a perfect explanation for this matter. I will send troops to attack Ye Qiu and bring Ye Qiu's head to father.”
Li Shi Min pretended to be shocked.
Li Yuan stomped his foot in anger at Li Shiming's pretense, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the current Emperor of the Great Tang was Li Shiming, and he was doing quite well.
"I'll give you seven days. Within seven days, I must see Ye Qiu's head and avenge my son.”
"Don't worry, father. Within seven days, I'll make sure that Ye Qiu's head falls to the ground. Father, you're already old. Don't be angry over such things.”
Li Yuan snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Although Li Yuan was old, he was not stupid. He knew Li Hancheng's wild ambition, and he also knew Li Hancheng's hatred for him. He also knew that Li Shiming had always wanted to kill Li Hancheng, but he did not do it because of the death-exemption medal and his father's face.
However, he had already suffered the pain of losing his son. Moreover, his brothers were killing each other. This made Li Yuan feel like the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
Li Yuan was so angry that he turned around and left.
After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji looked at each other and laughed.
After a while, Zhangsun Wuji said,""Your Majesty, are you really going to send people to deal with Ye Qiu?”
Li Shi Min shook his head,"Although many people call me Li Er, I'm not really an idiot. If I go against Ye Qiu, wouldn't I be looking for trouble?" Let Ye Qiu extort me again?"
"Then what did Retired Emperor say?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.
Li Shi Min's expression immediately turned cold." Find out who leaked this information to the Retired Emperor and eliminate them. The Retired Emperor is already old. We shouldn't let him worry about all kinds of things."”
Zhangsun Wuji froze and said,""Leave this matter to me.”
With that, Zhangsun Wuji left.
The night was cool. Li Shimin thought about all kinds of things and no longer had the mood to deal with government affairs. He looked at the night outside the door and muttered to himself,"Looks like tomorrow will be another bloody storm. However, Ye Qiu, you really make zhen like you too much.”
The next morning, in the court, as expected, Li Shimin's side was immediately discussed.
"Your Majesty, that Dangyang rebel leader Ye Qiu is truly too lawless and audacious. He actually dared to kill our Great Tang's royal family in broad daylight and even hung his head on the city gates.”Hou Junji was the first to take Ye Qiu's book, even though Ye Qiu wasn't a Tang official.
"That's right. With such a major matter happening, I hope Your Majesty can issue a decree to kill that evil thief, Ye Qiu. Otherwise, where will the laws of the Great Tang be?”A civil official also followed.
For a moment, everyone agreed and asked Li Shi Min to send troops to kill Ye Qiu.
However, Li Shi Min's old ministers, especially those who understood him, didn't say anything.
Those people had been following Li Shiming for a long time and had long become worms in his stomach. How could they not know what Li Shiming was thinking?
Li Hancheng had been killed by Ye Qiu, and Li Shi Min was probably overjoyed.
"I've long heard of this matter. That evil thief Ye Qiu is indeed extremely bold to actually dare to kill King Guangyang. Is Crown Prince Li Chengqian here?" Li Shi Min said.
"Your son is here." Li Chengqian took a step forward and bowed.
"I order you to be the imperial envoy. Tomorrow, immediately rush to Guangyang County. You must capture that audacious thief leader, Ye Qiu, for me.”
"Your son accepts the order."
