In Taiji Palace, Li Shi Min's face was dark as he looked at Li You and Li Tai, who had been beaten up like a pig's head.
"What exactly is going on? You two bastards, explain it clearly!”Li Shi Min slapped the table and scolded.
Li Shiming did not say anything. Li You sneaked a glance at Zhangsun Wuji and sneered in his heart.
'Zhangsun Wuji, you cunning old man. You're indeed not a good person. On the surface, you're opening up for me, but you're actually feeling wronged for Li Tai.'
If Li Shi Min felt that Li Tai was the victim, then it would naturally be disadvantageous to him.
"Imperial Father, your son admits that it was your son's fault. Your son shouldn't have hit Brother Wei.”Li You said with a dark face. His expression was extremely resentful. Anyone who saw that expression would think that he must have suffered some grievance.
Hmph, since you, Zhangsun, want to play dirty, why should I be afraid of you?
If it was the previous Li You, he might not be your match. But now, Li You's body and soul are under my control. A 20th-century insurance agent playing this kind of trick will make you cry in minutes!
As expected, Li You's words, coupled with his aggrieved look, made Li Shiming suspicious.
"You 'er, what's going on?”Li Shimin said seriously,"If you have anything to say, say it. I'm not a fatuous ruler. I can't accuse you wrongly."”
"Ha, your son is naturally speaking the truth.”Li You squeezed out two drops of tears, which swirled in his eyes. He held them back and gritted his teeth."This son should have allowed Brother Wei to insult this son's mother and allow Brother Wei to say that this son is a remnant of the previous dynasty and should have been executed long ago to pay for the sins of my maternal grandfather, the Yin World Master!”
As soon as Li You finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji immediately knew that things were going to be bad. One had to know that although the Yin World Master's crime was unforgivable, he was already dead. Although the current Concubine Yin could not compare to his sister, Empress Zhangsun, she was still a favored concubine.
Li You's words had directly turned a fight between brothers into a means to protect filial piety. How amazing.
This method of changing concepts was truly first-rate. Did King Qi actually have such talent?
He secretly looked at Li Shi Min, and just as he had guessed, his face turned red as he pointed at Li Tai.
"Bastard!" "Is this how you act as a brother?" Li Shiming roared. You are both my sons. Although your mothers are not the same, you should treat Concubine Yin like an aunt. Even if he couldn't do it, he shouldn't have said such insulting words. It was simply preposterous!”
"Imperial Father, please calm down.”Li Tai was hoping that Li Shiming would punish Li You to vent his anger, but who knew that the situation would suddenly change and he would become the wrong person. He hurriedly explained,"Your son and King Qi only had a quarrel over the salary given by the Ministry of Revenue, and he beat your son. Your son didn't retaliate and continued to be beaten because he wanted to seek justice from Imperial Father. King Qi's words were those of a rogue son, and his son had never said anything like that.”
Li Tai started crying. Li Shimin's heart softened. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Tai's knowledge was good, and he was praised by many scholars. He still liked Li Tai.
However, before Li Shiming could say anything, Li You smiled sadly, feeling extremely disappointed.
"Right, this king slandered Brother Wei.”Li You bowed to Li Shi Min and forced a smile,"Imperial Father, this son insulted Imperial Mother and used this to slander Brother Wei. He is disloyal and unfilial, and has committed a heinous crime. Imperial Father, please punish him and kill this son. I only hope that after your son dies, Imperial Father will love Consort Mother and not let Consort Mother be slandered and insulted behind her back. Your son will die without regrets!”
Li You's words were clearly meant to retreat in order to advance. He was saying,'I can't beat you, Li Tai. I'll admit it and die. But after I die, will you, Li Shiming, take care of my mother?'
These words were so harsh that Li Shiming didn't dare to look at Li You's eyes.
At the same time, he listened to Li You's words.
That's right. Li You was only a 13-year-old young man. Although he was mischievous, he was usually very respectful to Concubine Yin. How could he use Concubine Yin's reputation to slander others?
Moreover, Li Tai was beaten up like this. This was enough to show that Li You had attacked in a rage.
What could make Li You dare to fight with the most favored King of Wei, Li Tai? Other than his mother being slandered by the other party, was there any other explanation?
The more Li Shi Min thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. He looked at Li Tai with an unfriendly gaze.
"Green Sparrow, what else do you have to say?”Li Shi Min asked.
"Imperial Father, you've been wronged. Your son really didn't.”Li Tai immediately cried and defended himself.
" Your Majesty, there are still some doubts about this matter. The King of Wei has always been a man of reason…" Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly spoke up for Li Tai, but he was stopped by Li Shiming's gaze.
Zhangsun Wuji immediately did not dare to speak. No matter how good the relationship between the monarch and his subjects was, he could not get too involved. Otherwise, the Emperor would definitely fall out with him.
"Hmph, educated and reasonable?" Li Shiming snorted coldly,"In the past, Green Sparrow relied on my favor and was domineering. Do you think I didn't know?"”
"Your son is punished!" Li Tai was shocked and hurriedly said. It didn't matter if he suffered a loss this time. If his father hated him, then he wouldn't have a chance to compete for the crown prince. Then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.
"Hmph, this one will punish you with half a year's salary to compensate King Qi. Also, go to the inner palace and apologize to Concubine Yin.”Li Shiming then said to Li You,"You can go with us. Take good care of your mother and learn well in the future. Don't let your mother worry."”
"Your son understands. Your son will take his leave." Li You nodded seriously, indicating that he understood. Then, he left with Li Tai, the King of Wei.
"Ai, I didn't think that even though King Qi was fooling around, he would still have some filial piety. This one has treated him unfairly in the past.”Li Shimin looked at Li You's back and said to Nan Nan.
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes turned cold. This King Qi was not simple. It seemed that the green sparrow had another enemy.
"Hmph, just you wait. This king will not let you off.”Li Tai said angrily and threatened Li You.
"It doesn't matter. If you want to beat me up, I'll welcome you anytime.”Li You smiled and said," And you'll get so many benefits after I beat you up. This King can't ask for more. Haha."”
Li Tai was so angry that his teeth were about to shatter. He snorted coldly and turned around to leave. He went to the harem himself.
Li You, on the other hand, hid in a place with no one around and opened his system page.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the elementary rogue mission, framing Li Tai. The reward is the Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers, Overlord Spear Technique!”
Li You was amused. Not only did he change his image in front of Li Shimin by framing Li Tai once, but he also made Li Tai suffer and earned an extra half a year of Li Tai's salary.
Now that the system had rewarded him with the Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers and the Overlord Spear Technique, it seemed that there were many benefits to being falsely accused.
