The Panic of the Imperial Court!
Some people said that a scholar's brush was like a knife.
Scholars can kill people without blood, stab people without blood.
Previously, Gao Shilian had scoffed at this statement. For a man like him who used a steel knife to conquer the world, what was a pen? Only the saber in his hand was the real killing weapon!
But now, after seeing Li Ke's letter, which was filled with kinship but each word was like a blade, Gao Shilian finally understood what it meant to kill without spilling blood!
This letter was filled with Li Ke's concern for Li Shiming's health, and it was filled with the concern of a son for his father. However, both Gao Shilian and Li Shiming knew that all of this was Li Ke's mockery!
The more Li Ke cared about Li Shiming's health, the more sarcastic he became.
However, Li Shi Min couldn't do anything about it.
Even if this letter was exposed, the people would praise Li Ke's filial piety. Even if Li Shimin did not care about his family, Li Ke was still full of filial piety.
This filial piety was truly touching.
It was because of this that Li Shiming was so angry that he couldn't vent it out.
He was like a mad dog, kicking, smashing, and roaring in the imperial garden.
His voice was filled with grief and indignation.
…………
In Fang Xuanling's residence.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling was reading a book on military strategy in his study. Although he was not a general, the Great Tang had been conquered by force. Even a civil official like Fang Xuanling was familiar with the art of war.
At this moment, he was flipping through a book of war with a relatively famous title. He was looking at a relatively famous strategy in it, which was called "giving him a taste of his own medicine".
To put it simply, returning the favor was to use the method used by the other party to deal with the other party.
Although it was easy to explain, it was not easy to use it on the battlefield or in reality. However, once it was successfully used, it would definitely be of great use.
Fang Xuanling looked at the case and nodded slightly. Then, he picked up a brush and casually wrote down his thanks.
As the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, Fang Xuanling not only had to possess extraordinary knowledge, but he also had to have a far-reaching vision and strategy. Only then could he assist Li Shiming and ensure that he would not take the wrong path. Thus, he needed to learn anything that was useful to him.
"Dong dong dong."
Just as Fang Xuanling put down his brush and the ink on the paper hadn't dried yet, a series of anxious knocks on the door suddenly sounded.
"Master, Master."
At the same time, the butler's anxious voice could be heard.""Old Master, the palace has issued an order. His Majesty wants Old Master to enter the palace immediately.”
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling frowned slightly. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark. Many people were asleep. Why would Li Shimin call him at this time?
Did something big happen?
Fang Xuanling's heart felt a little stifled for no reason.
Too many things had happened during this period of time. Li Shiming's irrational orders and Li Ke's unpredictable actions had made him feel as if he had a headache. Now that he had a few days to rest, who knew that something would happen again.
Fang Xuanling didn't dare to delay. He quickly stood up and opened the door."Do you know what happened?”
"I don't know, but the eunuch from the palace is still waiting for you at the door.”the butler said.
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment, but he didn't have the time to change his clothes. He quickly walked toward the door.
He had a very bad premonition, which made him unable to calm down.
When Fang Xuanling arrived at the door, he saw the eunuch trotting over and saying,""Lord Fang, you're finally here. Quickly enter the palace, His Majesty urgently summoned Lord Fang.”
"What exactly happened?" asked Fang Xuanling. Why would His Majesty summon me at this time?”
The eunuch hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Fang Xuanling was frowning, he finally said in a low voice,""Lord Fang, it's about Li Ke. Didn't Hou Junji and his son go to carry out His Majesty's orders? In the end, they fell into Li Ke's scheme and died. The 20,000 soldiers who went were also completely wiped out!”
"Now, His Majesty is extremely embarrassed and angry, so he urgently summoned Daren to discuss matters!”
" What?!"
Even though Fang Xuanling had already mentally prepared himself, he still couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard the eunuch's words, and his expression changed drastically.
"Didn't Hou Junji lead twenty thousand elite soldiers? How could they all be wiped out? What is going on?" Fang Xuanling asked.
The eunuch shook his head." I don't know either. Anyway, the situation is very troublesome."”
At this moment, a single word suddenly appeared in Fang Xuanling's mind.
These words caused his expression to change even more. At the same time, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
These eight words were the art of war that he had just read-give him a taste of his own medicine!
He no longer cared about how Li Ke had killed Hou Junji. He was only worried that Li Ke would use the same vicious scheme the Imperial Court had used against Li Ke to turn against the Imperial Court!
If Li Ke really did this, if the Imperial Court's vicious scheme was exposed, then…
Fang Xuanling shuddered. He didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
If that was the case, the imperial court would be in complete danger!
Fang Xuanling didn't dare to delay any further. He quickly got into the carriage and headed for the Imperial Palace.
When he arrived at the Imperial Palace and entered the main hall, he saw that the important figures of the three provinces and six ministries had arrived one after another.
At this moment, Li Shi Min's face was as dark as water. His entire body exuded a stifling aura that made people feel depressed.
Gao Shilian knelt in the main hall, his face still covered in tears.
The other ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to say another word.
Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and quickly walked to the front of the hall. He looked at Li Shiming and said,"Your Majesty, I understand the general situation. I am also very angry, but now is not the time to be angry. What we need to do now is how to deal with this matter. He also had to understand what the current situation was like.”
"Did Li Ke simply kill Hou Junji and the others, or…or was it part of our plan…"
"No need to ask."
Li Shiming interrupted Fang Xuanling. His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said," I've already received news that our plan…has been exposed. Now, the people are filled with resentment. It's not good…"
