In the royal study, Li Shiming looked at Zhangsun Chong, who was crying and complaining.
Sitting in the royal study were the Minister of State's Left Servant Fang Xuanling, the Minister of State's Right Servant Du Ruhui, Li Er's brother-in-law who was staring at each other, the Minister of Personnel Zhangsun Wuji, and the Demon King of Chaos, Cheng Yaojin, who was giving Li Er a headache.
(During the Tang Dynasty, all the civil and military officials were seated when they went to court. Only a certain useless dynasty would kneel at any time.)
Other than Li Er and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, the other three were parents. As for Qin Qiong, she was not in good health. Li Er would not invite Qin Qiong over such a small matter of children fighting.
"Your Majesty, please help me!”
Now, he could barely make out his human form. The hideous and terrifying Zhangsun Chong cried,
"Qin Huaidao and the other two first beat up my younger brother. I couldn't take it anymore, so I brought some people over to reason with them. However, Qin Huaidao was unreasonable and picked up a brick to beat me up without saying anything.”
"Cheng Chumo and Du Gou also punched and kicked my guards. They almost killed us!”
Zhangsun Chong's face was still twitching as he spoke, and his voice had changed. However, there was no trace of disdain in Li Shiming's eyes.
Although Li Shiming didn't know what was going on at first, he understood what was going on.
As an emperor, Li Shiming was confident that he had good judgment, especially after seeing several meritorious officials from a young age.
If it wasn't for Zhangsun Wugou and Zhangsun Wuji, he would have taken care of that bastard Zhangsun Huan. If it was Zhangsun Huan, he wouldn't even bother to say a few words.
He originally thought that Zhangsun Chong would be better off, but it seemed like he was useless now.
Fighting was a common thing for silkpants. When Li Er was young and vigorous, he had fought with many people.
A child could even complain about losing a fight. What did Zhangsun Chong think his royal study was?
But now, with such a commotion, Li Er had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with it.
The fathers of the culprits were all important officials in the court. Whether it was Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, or Cheng Yaojin, they were all Li Shimin's most trusted subordinates.
As for Qin Qiong, who was not present, he had gone through life and death and made outstanding contributions, but he did not have the time to enjoy it. If Li Er punished Qin Huaidao, what would the other meritorious officials think?
However, Zhangsun Wuji was Second Brother's most trusted confidant.
In this dilemma, Li Shimin could only have Li Junxian bring Qin Huaidao and the others over.
"Alright, don't cry. His Majesty knows what to do.”
The old fox Zhangsun Wuji secretly looked at Li Shiming's expression and immediately kicked Zhangsun Chong.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has taught my son badly and is willing to accept my punishment. When I return home, I will definitely teach that good-for-nothing child a lesson.
Du Ruhui saw Zhangsun Wuji making his move and immediately followed.
"My dear minister, why do you have to be like this? I know Du Gou's character very well. Moreover, he wasn't the one who hit him. We'll talk about everything when we arrive."
"That's right. Don't you all know Qin Huaidao's personality? He inherited Big Brother Qin's personality and is very honest.”
"As for my boss, he's also an honest child who never causes trouble. I think there must be something fishy about this!”
Demoness Cheng shouted.
"You!" Zhangsun Wuji's expression immediately turned ugly.
So your children are all obedient, but my son is a bastard. He deserves to be beaten up, right?
Even if his second son was useless, the one who was beaten up was his eldest son. What about his future successor?
He was still hoping that his boss would become a great man and marry Princess Chang Le to ensure the prosperity of the Zhangsun family!
If they were not severely punished, the Zhangsun Clan would lose face once their reputation spread!
Zhangsun Chong exploded.
I've already been beaten up like this, and you guys are still gossiping over there.。
Shouldn't Qin Huaidao and the other two be severely punished?
Also, Your Majesty, I'm from this family. I'm your biological nephew. Are you going to side with outsiders?
However, since Li Shiming had said it first, Zhangsun Chong did not dare to say anything more. He could only turn to his father, Zhangsun Wuji, for help.
Zhangsun Wuji waved his sleeves and was about to speak.
Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment and was about to step forward to stop him.
It would be a joke if this kind of child fight was blown up and hurt the harmony.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came in to report.
"Your Majesty, General Li has brought Qin Huaidao and the other two here.”
"Let them in."
Li Er looked at the few important officials with different expressions and said indifferently.
"We, Qin Huaidao and the other two, pay our respects to Your Majesty.”
Qin Huaidao said in a clear voice as he glanced at his two useless underlings, Cheng Chumo and Du Gou, who were still trembling in fear.
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up.
He had seen Qin Huaidao many times before. Although he was honest, he was a little weak, which made Li Shiming feel that Qin Qiong's descendant was a weak scholar and felt deeply regretful.
The Qin Huaidao that he saw now had an imposing appearance and was incomparably confident. He was not inferior to Qin Qiong's heroic aura on the battlefield back then.
Especially when compared to Cheng Chumo and Du Gou, who were trembling all over, it was even more obvious.
Even Cheng Yaojin and Du Ruhui felt embarrassed.
A real man should take responsibility for his actions. He had already beaten her up. How could he be considered a man if he was so cowardly!
Du Ruhui might only be a civil official, but he had also ridden a horse and been a military advisor in the past.
"Good, Minister Qin has such a good son.”
Li Shi Min said emotionally.
Zhangsun Wuji's face instantly darkened.
Fang Xuanling coughed awkwardly.
Your Majesty, what are you trying to do!
