"What the hell is going on!"
The Crown Prince lowered his voice and said angrily," Why is Imperial Father saying such things to us? Wasn't he just praising us and saying that we study hard?”
"Li Dun, it must be him!!”
Wu Wang Li Ke stared at the closed door and said with a sinister gaze,"
"This illegitimate child must have said something to Imperial Father, which is why Imperial Father's attitude towards you and me is so bad!”
"This child is a disgrace to the royal family. He must be killed!!”
King Qi Li You coldly looked at the unsightly expressions of the other princes and said in a cold voice,
"Three years ago, I said that this person cannot be kept alive. What about you? You didn't listen to me and insisted on using some soft knife to cut my flesh. What was the result? In the end, he took all the limelight in this school examination. You and I are drinking the northwest wind here and being punished by Imperial Father. Where are your soft knives? Are you cutting off your own flesh?"
"A carp turned into a dragon and monopolized Imperial Father's love. He, Li Dun, is no longer a fish in the pond.”
The King of Wei, Li Tai, took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He glanced at the other princes and said coldly,
"If nothing goes wrong, next, Li Dun will be conferred the title of King by Father.”
Everyone was silent, but their expressions were even uglier.
Once Li Dun was conferred the title of King, he would have a fief.
More importantly, he would have the right to fight for the throne, and his status in Chang 'an would rise with the tide. Some of the fence-sitters in the imperial court might float to Li Dun's side because the emperor loved him.
"Now is not the time for you and me to fight. Everyone wants the chair that Father is sitting on, but now it's about to fall into the hands of an illegitimate child!”
The King of Wu, Li Ke, said in a deep voice,
"If we continue to fight amongst ourselves, neither of us will have a good ending. You and I both know what we have done in the past three years. I only have one sentence, we need to defend ourselves from the outside world. First, get rid of this illegitimate child and make him lose the possibility of becoming a king.”
"I agree!"
" Seconded!!!"
For a moment, the princes 'resolute voices echoed in everyone's ears.
Only Li Chengqian's gaze was cold and he did not say a word. Snatch this crown prince's position? With just you guys, are you even worthy?
————
Within the Dew Palace.
Soon, the six teachers arrived.
The six old men were in their fifties and belonged to the secretary department.
In the Tang Dynasty, the princes were taught by the officials of the Ministry of Education at the beginning. After they had achieved some success, they went to the highest school, Chongwen Hall, which was affiliated with the Imperial College.
The original Lee Dun entered the palace three years ago and was taught by them.
The six of them stood in a row in fear and trepidation. They did not know what to do. They did not understand why His Majesty had called them here today.
In their hearts, the six of them were even more worried. Could it be that in the past three years, they had not taught Li Dun anything?
Li Dun looked at the six sanctimonious officials and secretly sighed.
No matter how great the Great Tang was, it was inevitable that there would be vermin that would erode the nation's roots. Such vermin had appeared in countless dynasties, and the emperors abhorred this, which was why they were extremely strict with the administration of officials.
If the administration of officials did not work, how could the country's politics be carried out?
Li Er was still in the dark. He only thought that the six people in front of him had spent a lot of effort to teach Li Dun, allowing him to have today's knowledge. It had broadened his horizons and benefited him a lot.
Li Er smiled and said,"Have a seat."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The six of them sat nervously behind the tables arranged by Si Shoushou.
"Today, I've examined the nine princes, and Li Dun is ranked first.”
Li Er looked at the six of them with satisfaction and continued,
"I promised them that if anyone gets first place in today's school examination, I will fulfill one of their conditions. Li Dun said that he only has one request, and that is to seek justice.”
"Zhen has decided to reward-"
Li Er's voice hadn't even finished.
The faces of the six people turned pale. They stood up and took a few steps back. They fell to their knees in front of Li Er and said with trembling voices,
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
" Please forgive me, Ninth Prince!!"
Li Er was speechless.
Li Eryi looked at the scene in front of him with a dumbfounded expression.
What was the meaning of this? Ask for forgiveness? What crime?
Very soon, Li Erpin realized something was amiss. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his originally warm smile instantly turned cold. He glared at the six secretaries and said coldly,"
"Oh, apologize? So you all know?"
"Since you know, tell me what crime you have committed!”
Li Er's words were just to blow up these guilty officials. He did not expect that the following words would make him furious.
" Your Majesty, please forgive me-"
One of the officials knelt on the ground with his head lowered and said in a trembling voice,
" Three years ago, we were ordered by His Majesty to teach the Ninth Prince. However, because we were not talented enough, we…we didn't speak to the Ninth Prince at all…"
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of a cup shattering could be heard.
Li Er's eyes were fixed on everyone. He unconsciously used too much force in his hand and crushed the teacup in his hand with a bang. His palm was cut and blood instantly flowed out.
"Sage-"
Guard Si panicked and hurriedly took out a handkerchief.
"Guardian Si, you don't have to worry about me!”
Li Er suddenly waved his robe, telling Si Shoushou not to come close to him. He still glared at the six people kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered. He gritted his teeth and shouted in the direction of the palace door,"Where are the Thousand Bull Guards?"
Thump!
In an instant, the ten-some Thousand Bull Guards standing outside the palace slowly entered the palace with their hands on the hilts of their sabers. They cupped their fists and said with a solemn expression,"Your Majesty!"
"Take these six people out!"
"Hand him over to the Ministry of Justice immediately and investigate him for disobeying the decree!" Li Shi Min said coldly.”
"Yes!"
The ten-some Thousand Ox Guards said in unison.
When the six officials were dragged out in despair, Li Er was still furious.
He felt even more ashamed. He did not expect that the reward that he thought Li Dun wanted to give them would be such a reward!
"How did you do it?"
Li Er was shocked and suspicious. He tilted his head to look at Li Dun and asked,"Who told you these things?”
At this moment, he did not believe that the memorial just now was said by Li Dun. After all, he had entered the palace for three years without any knowledge. How could he suddenly become a talent? Unless there was an immortal helping him, but where did the immortal come from in this world!
"The First Emperor, Han Taizu, Song Taizu, Yuan Taizu, Ming Taizu, and Qing Taizu told me the truth.”
"What are they?" Li Er was dumbfounded.”
In the emperor chat group.
Liu Bang was speechless.
Zhao Kuangyin was speechless.
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Nurhachi was speechless.
Ying Zheng: " Look at this Guapi. If he doesn't want to join the club, he just needs to be cleaned up. Just kill him!"”
