In Taiji Palace, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were both shocked.
"What is it? Even a few dozen Thousand Bull Guards and you are no match for that thief?!”
Li Shi Min stood up from his dragon throne in shock. He walked to Li You and examined him carefully, focusing on the armor with a sunken chest.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
The Thousand Bull Guards were the most elite Imperial Army in the palace, and their weapons and equipment were unique. Even the black-armored army did not have such good equipment. Li You's general armor was even made of refined iron!
To be able to create such a huge dent with this palm, how strong was that thief?
"Your Majesty, it was this subordinate's incompetence that allowed him to escape.”
Li You kneeled on the ground and covered his chest with both hands as he said in shame.
He felt a burning pain in his chest from time to time. The pain was unbearable, and he wanted to lie on the ground and pant.
"It seems that this person's martial strength is outstanding and he is a fierce general of the current era. His Majesty has always been magnanimous and even used people like Xue Wanche and Wei Zheng.”
Empress Zhangsun walked to Li Shimin's side and comforted him.
Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche used to work for Li Jiancheng of the Eastern Palace. One of them had offered a plan to kill Li Shimin, while the other had resisted the coup of Xuanwu Gate and killed many soldiers of King Qin's Mansion. However, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ignored the past and put them in an important position.
Therefore, using these two examples to comfort Li Shimin was the best.
"Humph! He is also sensible. He did not kill a single soldier of mine. He only suffered a superficial wound. Only you, Li You, are slightly more serious. Go back and lie down. In less than half a month, you will naturally recover!”
Li Shiming snorted, his expression was a little arrogant. He frowned and said,
"It's just that this fellow doesn't know how to appreciate favors! Am I the kind of tyrant who kills people at the slightest disagreement? Guanyin maid, tell me, what right does he have to mock me? What right does he have to leave after injuring someone?”
Li Shi Min originally wanted to capture this guy and see what kind of person he was. According to his experience, there were indeed a few people who were strong.
If this person was really talented, he wouldn't mind taking him in. On the contrary, if he was an idiot, he would just kill him. To him, there was no loss.
However, he had never imagined that this fellow would be so powerful. He had defeated dozens of Imperial Army soldiers in a row and left in such a carefree manner. How could he not be flustered and exasperated when he heard this?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps that person was afraid of Your Majesty's dragon might and did not want to go against you. That was why he only injured the Imperial Army and fled to avoid punishment.”
Empress Zhangsun saw that Li Shimin was still angry and could only continue to comfort him.
From her point of view, this person shouldn't have any malicious intentions.
"Fleeing? In my opinion, it's sweeping away the dignity of my royal family! And those few brats actually protected the criminal and let him go. They were simply audacious!”
Li Shi Min's face turned red as he stomped his foot and ordered,
"Men, please invite Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Qiong to gather at the Duke of E Residence to see the good son they have raised!”
These young masters were used to being pampered, so they should be taught a lesson. Their fathers should also be taught a lesson.
As the saying goes, if the son makes a mistake, the father will pay!
"This, Your Majesty…"
Empress Zhangsun called out and looked at Li Shimin's back as he walked away. She could only rub her temples helplessly.
This was truly a farce!
An hour later, the few dukes had already received the notice and rushed to the Duke of E Residence. The four important ministers arrived almost at the same time and stood together, looking at each other with uneasy expressions.
"I heard that His Majesty was furious because of those kids? Who knows more? Hurry up and say it. Don't let my Chumo take the blame.”
The burly Cheng Yaojin was the first to speak.
Now, he had also learned to dress like a scholar. He looked a little nondescript and funny. However, don't be fooled by his appearance. Under his rough behavior and words, there was a meticulous heart. This Old Cheng was very smart.
"My Chong-er has always been decent and has never done anything to anger Long Yan. You can think about the rest yourselves.”
Zhangsun Wuji closed his eyes and said indifferently.
Compared to these generals, his figure was a little thin and weak, but that steady and capable aura was extremely outstanding. He was indeed worthy of being the head of the twenty-four meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion, the future powerful official.
"My Huaiyu is also a person who doesn't like to stir up trouble.”
Qin Qiong said in a low voice with a confident look.
He had been fighting for many years and had lost too much blood. His face was still a little pale, and he could be considered the weakest among the generals.
"My, my family's lost love, lost love him…"
Fang Xuanling muttered with a guilty conscience.
As the top strategist in the early Tang Dynasty, he had a son who was extremely troublesome. According to historical records, the cuckold king Fang Yiai and his wife, Princess Gaoyang, were going to rebel in the future…
He thought that he had calmed down a little these days, but he did not expect that he was holding back his big move and had even angered the emperor!
"Oh! It's your beloved one who caused trouble!"
The other three nodded in agreement. Now that their relationship had been cleared, the burden in their hearts was finally lifted. Only Fang Xuanling felt more and more uneasy.
Could it be that Fang Yiai, that brat, was causing trouble?
"Right, isn't there Yuchi Baolin's? This time, His Majesty asked us to come to the Duke of E Residence. Clearly, the main character is him. It must be him who caused trouble. It has nothing to do with my family's beloved!”
Fang Xuanling suddenly cried out. His words were so reasonable that even he himself believed them. A smile instantly appeared on his face.
Alright, now the relationship between the four of them could be cleared up. The one who committed the crime was definitely Yuchi Gong's child!
Yuchi Gong, who was lying on the sickbed, was speechless.？？”
Are you bullying our Duke of E because he's sick and can't lift a knife?
"Duke Zhao, Duke Lu, Duke Hu, and Duke Liang, the four Dukes have arrived!”
The four of them entered the Duke of E Residence with smiles on their faces. However, the moment they entered, their smiles froze.
Because they saw the five kids kneeling on the ground, and the person they were kneeling on was the current emperor, Li Shi Min!
Li Shi Min, who was wearing casual clothes, turned around and smiled at the four of them, revealing his white teeth.
"My four beloved ministers, what are you discussing outside? Can you tell me?"
Zhangsun Wuji and the others had never dreamed that Li Shiming would be so fast that he was ahead of them!
Why did it feel like no one was looking at the tickets…
