The Furious Li Shi Min!
With doubts in his mind, Fang Xuanling didn't dare to delay and quickly followed the eunuch to the Imperial Palace.
When he entered the main hall, he found that Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Yuchi Gong, Gao Shilian, and the other ministers who were responsible for the civil and military affairs had all arrived.
These officials all looked exhausted. Their hair was messy and their eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that they had been woken up from their sleep just like him.
Fang Xuanling raised his head and saw Li Shiming sitting on the throne. His eyes, which had been as calm as an ancient well, were now filled with endless killing intent and coldness. His entire person was emitting a kind of killing intent that seemed to be tangible. Everyone felt as if there was a knife on their back. They subconsciously shrunk their necks and did not dare to look at Li Shiming.
"What exactly happened?"
Fang Xuanling had a bad feeling about this. Li Shiming's abnormal behavior and the curfew in the city made him feel irritated.
He quickly walked to the front of the officials and bowed to Li Shimin, saying,"Your Majesty called us here late at night. I wonder what happened? I don't know how we can share your worries.”
Fang Xuanling was the Prime Minister, the head of the officials, so he was the only one who had the right to ask Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min slowly raised his head after hearing Fang Xuanling's words.
The moment he raised his head, Fang Xuanling and the others finally saw Li Shiming's expression clearly. His eyes were red, and his expression was ferocious and twisted. This…this was a completely different person from the usual Li Shiming who was full of vigor and power.
"The Crown Prince is dead. His throat was broken.”Li Shi Min's cold and sorrowful voice echoed in the hall for the first time.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials who had arrived suddenly raised their heads. Their eyes instantly widened, and their bloodshot pupils were filled with disbelief.
" What?!"
"The Crown Prince is dead?"
"Killed?"
"What…what's going on?"
Everyone was stunned and could not believe their ears.
Wasn't the Crown Prince fine at night? Why was there a sudden news of his death?
Even Fang Xuanling's ears buzzed and he couldn't come back to his senses.
"Your Majesty, what…what is going on?" he asked hurriedly. His Highness the Crown Prince, he, how could such an accident happen to him? Who is the murderer?"
The others also turned to Li Shiming, wondering who had the audacity to kill the Crown Prince of the Great Tang. Wasn't he afraid of having his entire family killed?
Li Shi Min's eyes were filled with killing intent. His face was contorted in anger.
He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to break. He said coldly,"Li Ke, it was Li Ke, this unfilial son. He killed the Crown Prince with his own hands. This heartless and unfilial son actually dared to kill his brother.”
Li Shi Min was filled with endless sorrow and anger. At this moment, he was no longer as calm as before. He was like an injured dog, barking non-stop.
When Zhangsun Wuji and the others heard that Li Ke had killed the Crown Prince, they were stunned and filled with disbelief. In the next moment, they joined Li Shimin in cursing Li Ke.
"Li Ke is truly a wolf with wild ambitions. He is truly a wolf with a heart of wolves and a heart of dogs. The Crown Prince is his elder brother. How could he bear to kill him?”Zhangsun Wuji scolded angrily, his beard almost standing up.
It was just that he forgot that before Li Ke personally killed Li Chengqian, it was Li Chengqian who plotted to kill Li Ke!
So, who was the heartless one? Who was not worthy of being a human?
It was just that Zhangsun Wuji and the others did not think about this at all. As long as Li Ke disobeyed their thoughts, it was all Li Ke's fault.
Li Ke did not return evil with good, but returned evil with evil. That was Li Ke's fault!
If Li Ke wasn't a moral saint, then Li Ke was heartless!
The other officials were also cursing Li Ke.
These people were the founding fathers of the Great Tang. It could also be said that they had personally destroyed the Sui Dynasty, so they had always feared Li Ke, who had the blood of the Sui Dynasty.
When they learned that Li Ke was framed by Li Chengqian and was about to die, everyone celebrated. They were all extremely happy and gratified about this matter. There were even some people who drank and toasted to celebrate Li Ke's death.
But who knew that Li Ke actually killed Li Chengqian and actually escaped. He actually didn't die. All of this caused their originally relaxed hearts to once again become heavy.
He hated Li Ke even more now.
For a moment, the entire court was filled with angry voices scolding Li Ke.
Fang Xuanling frowned and said,""Your Majesty, it hasn't been long since Li Ke escaped. If we immediately organize our forces to capture him, we might be able to catch him.”
Li Shi Min took a deep breath and tried to suppress his killing intent. He said,"I have already ordered Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin to do this. I have also ordered the city gates to be closed to prevent Li Ke, this unfilial son, from escaping.”
When Zhangsun Wuji and the others heard this, they all heaved a sigh of relief. Since the city gates were closed and there was an army chasing after them, even if Li Ke had three heads and six arms, he would definitely not be able to escape.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"As long as Li Ke can't escape from the city, the entire city will arrest him and he will be brought to justice!”
"I hope that Your Majesty can deal with Li Ke impartially. As the saying goes, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the commoners. Li Ke first rebelled and then ruthlessly murdered the Crown Prince. I implore Your Majesty to punish Li Ke by a thousand cuts to correct the laws of the Great Tang!”Zhangsun Wuji suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with cruelty.
When the other officials heard this, they were also shocked. They immediately said,"This subject agrees. I beg Your Majesty to execute Li Ke by a thousand cuts to avenge His Highness the Crown Prince!”
"Your Majesty, please enforce the law impartially and punish Li Ke by a thousand cuts!”
"I agree!"
One by one, the officials stood out.
Seeing this, Li Shi Min recalled his beloved son, Li Chengqian, and his heart ached as if it was bleeding. He gritted his teeth and said coldly,"The people from the Ministry of Justice who will execute the death penalty are already waiting outside. As long as Li Ke, this unfilial son, is captured, Zhen will personally watch him die and avenge Zhen's son!”
His voice was full of fatherly love for his son, Li Chengqian. His fatherly love was like a mountain, making people feel that Li Shiming was really a good father.
But they had all forgotten that Li Ke was also Li Shiming's son!
However, Li Shi Min's fatherly love was not given to Li Ke at all…
…………
P.S.: Let me first talk about the style of this book. This book will be a more relaxed and refreshing story. There will be a sense of tension and oppression. After all, it is a rebellion. It is normal to be nervous when fighting against the strongest force in the world. However, it will not abuse the main character. The main plot will focus on the main character's wisdom, military strategy, and decisiveness in killing.
The first ten chapters had been written before. Last night, the author had reorganized the outline and confirmed a few plots that would really raise an army. These were all carefully prepared by the author. It could be said that they were interconnected. Every plot was bound to be related to the next or the next few plots. It was a combination of a cool novel and a plot flow. I hope everyone will like it.
Finally, let's talk about the rhythm. The protagonist's rebellion was a sudden thing. In fact, it was not completely expected by the protagonist, so he needed to do something to increase the protagonist's strength, so that the protagonist would have the power to go against the Tang Dynasty... There were about five or six stories that increased his strength, and then he would officially rise up. Everyone can read this book with their intelligence. The author, Fungus, would try his best to make the whole book orderly, so as not to turn history into a fantasy and cause a collapse.
Then, thank you for everyone's support. I hope that everyone can continue to vote for the author. The author will continue to work hard. It is estimated that there will be at least four chapters updated every day. Everyone has a lot of support for the flower evaluation votes, so they will add more as appropriate. Thank you everyone!
