"Your Majesty, I impeach the King of Wu!"
"I also impeach the King of Wu!"
" For the sake of his own reputation, the King of Wu triggered this rumor in Chang 'an. A month has passed, and the rumor has spread. Not only has it not been contained, but it has also caused many people to be dissatisfied with the imperial court.”
"It even affected the credibility of the Imperial Court.”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
……
In the morning court a month later, a fifth-grade official took the lead in impeaching the emperor, causing more than half of the people in the court to agree.
However, most of these people were officials below Rank-4.
Above the six assistant ministers, the head of the Ministry of Central Affairs did not participate.
Li Shi Min's face was cold and hard, his hands on his knees clenched tightly.
Anger flashed in his eyes.
This was a counterattack from the gentry clan.
Finally, after enough time had passed in the marketplace, the flames of war were drawn to the court.
The upper echelons of the court were all his trusted aides.
Even if someone wanted to see Li Ke suffer, they were not willing to target him, the emperor.
For example, the Crown Prince, the auxiliary army, Hou Junji…
Li Shi Min's gaze swept across these people.
At the same time, he felt a hint of resentment in his heart.
That b * stard started this matter and hid for a month without caring about it.
Was that bastard really afraid?
Before, he thought that the unlucky child would not be frightened, but at this moment, he was a little shaken.
"Dear ministers, how do you think I should punish the King of Wu?”Li Shi Min said in a deep voice.
The court discussion was fierce, and Li Shimin decided to take a look first.
He would only be able to weigh the pros and cons when the enemy revealed his trump card.
"Please depose the King of Wu!"
"The King of Wu is unable to fulfill his promise to the injured soldiers, causing the imperial court to be in a passive position. Even the crusade against Tuyuhun has been discredited.”
……
A wave of calls for Li Ke to be deposed sounded.
Li Shi Min secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This wave was not directed at him.
It was these people who wanted to cut off Li Ke's future.
The aristocrats were frightened by Li Ke's words and were also wary of his favor for Li Ke.
He wanted to strangle Li Ke in the cradle!
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty…His Highness Ke has returned to the city, His Highness Ke…"
Suddenly, an excited voice broke the silence of the court. Wang De ran excitedly into the main hall.
The Emperor had ordered him to keep an eye on the barracks and investigate the situation of Li Ke's wounded soldiers.
However, he had been unable to find out what was going on inside these days. Wang De was also anxious. Today, he finally got news of Li Ke and could not wait to report.
"Wu Wang is back?"
"Could it be that Wu Wang has already thought of a way to calm the situation?”
"This is impossible!"
“……”
Zhangsun Wuji and Li Chengqian looked at each other, while the generals watched silently.
Everyone was deeply connected to the gentry clans. Even clans like the Cheng Clan and the Qin Clan did not dare to help Li Ke.
The fact that he didn't force his children to stay at home was already a sign that Li Ke, as a prince, had received the approval of these generals.
"Where is King Wu? Summon King Wu to Taiji Palace immediately!”Li Shi Min ordered with a dark face.
This unlucky child had gotten himself into so much trouble that he had to hide for a month before revealing himself. It was really too much!
"Yes, sir!"
A moment later, Wang De returned and reported to Li Shimin with a sad face,"Your Majesty, His Highness Ke is unwilling to come to Taiji Palace with this old servant. His Highness Ke said, said…"
"Say what!"
"His Highness Ke said that there are too many evil spirits in Taiji Palace. He disdains coming here to face the accusations and questions of a group of villains.”
"This is too much!"
"Your Majesty, although His Highness is a prince, he is too much!”
"In the eyes of the prince, we are actually ghosts and monsters!”
"Hey, His Highness didn't even mention his name. Why are you guys reacting so strongly? I, Old Cheng, am also standing here. I, Old Cheng, do not think of myself as a villain.”
"You sour scholars must be feeling guilty.”
"Cheng Yaojin, you live bandit!"
……
As soon as Cheng Yaojin spoke, the hall instantly turned into a market, causing the civil and martial classes to scold each other.
In the end, the civil and military officials at the bottom of the hierarchy couldn't vent their hatred. They started to spit at each other from a few steps away.
Pa!
Li Shiming slammed the table with a dark face.
"Impudent!" Zhangsun Wuji turned around and berated," As officials of the court, you are the backbone of His Majesty and the pillars of the court. How can you behave like this?!"”
When Zhangsun Wuji turned around to beg for forgiveness, he couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yaojin. This old man had almost turned Li Ke's matter into a civil and military battle in the court.
"Your Majesty, as the chief assistant, I beg your forgiveness for what happened!”
"I beg your forgiveness!"
……
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and the other officials also quickly apologized.
Li Shi Min ignored them and asked Wang De,"Where did Li Ke go?"
"His Highness went to the harem."
"Does Wu Wang want to go to the inner palace to ask for help from the Empress?”
"That must be it!"
"Even if the Empress comes out to speak, we must not take a step back in matters of state!”
……
Soon, the discussions started again.
Li Shi Min frowned, feeling a little annoyed. He waved his hand and said,"Retreat! We'll discuss the matter of the King of Wu tomorrow!"
While the court was in chaos.
Li Ke was like a thief, carrying a cloth bag and running to the harem. He was afraid of being discovered, so he was forcefully captured and brought to Taiji Palace.
Aiya!
At a certain moment, there was a proud shout. Li Ke felt as if he had bumped into something. When he looked again, he saw an extremely beautiful woman in a palace dress sitting on the ground.
Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, looking like she was about to cry.
He was worried that he would be discovered, so he quickly said,"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm the King of Wu, Li Ke. I'm not someone who barges into the harem.”
He couldn't guarantee that all the palace maids in the harem would recognize him.
"This is for you." Li Ke put down the cloth bag and quickly fiddled with an exquisite small bottle. He handed it to the palace maid in front of him and sprayed it at the palace maid.
Frightened, the palace maid subconsciously covered her face and shrank back.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Do you really want to smell it? You're so beautiful. If you use my perfume, I can guarantee that as long as my emperor sees you, he will definitely dote on you.”
"I'm helping you reach the heavens in one step!”
The palace maid looked at Li Ke in astonishment. She did not understand how the Emperor could have such a deformed son.
However, in Li Ke's eyes, he thought that the palace maid was not satisfied.
"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so greedy. Greed is good. I think highly of you. A palace maid who doesn't want to be a master in the harem is not a qualified palace maid.”
"How about this? This is for you, this is for you, and this…"
"Then, then, then. Look, I've given you all the treasures in this sack. These are used by the concubines in the palace. There's an instruction manual inside.”
"Remember, don't shout when I'm leaving!”
"Also, after you successfully become the empress of the harem, don't forget about my help today. I don't ask for anything else from you. Just blow some pillow talk into my emperor's ear so that he won't think about me for a day.”
After saying that, Li Ke looked left and right, picked up the cloth bag, and ran.
After running a few steps, the palace maid had just stood up when Li Ke jogged back and said with a smile,"I still have this thing here. I know that you palace maids have money but have nowhere to spend it. If the little sisters around you also have the dream of being concubines in the harem and want to buy this thing, remember to help me promote it.”
After saying this, Li Ke ran away.
Su Chan Er looked at Li Ke's back in shock.
She looked down at the pile of things that Li Ke had stuffed into her arms and could not help but laugh.
"This Highness is really interesting."
Su Chan 'Er looked at the pile of strange and exquisite things in her arms and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Veteran card? Is it a token?"
Su Chan 'Er looked at the words' Veteran Card 'engraved on each item and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Immediately after, her beautiful eyes flickered with colors." Veterans, veterans. If veterans don't die, they will just wither. Could this be the way His Highness Ke deals with rumors?”
Before she entered the palace, the rumors had already started, although the news was not convenient after she entered the palace.
However, he could still hear some from the palace maids.
Then, Su Chan Er's pretty face revealed a trace of doubt.
