the black cavalry shook Chang 'an.
It made many people in Chang 'an sleepless all night, nervously waiting for the most terrible thing to happen.
Almost everyone in Chang 'an had their hearts in their mouths for the entire night.
But nothing happened.
Other than Wei Gui who was heavily injured.
After the elite Black Knights left the city, they quickly surrounded the old camp.
The cavalrymen deliberately did not leave their horses.
He sat quietly on the horse for the entire night.
It was precisely because the Black Knights never left their horses that many people in the city felt uneasy.
The sky gradually turned white, and the morning court session was about to begin.
The Black Knights got off their horses and set up camp next to the old barracks.
"Shameless!"
"This old man is already sixty years old. I didn't sleep last night!”
……
As the courtiers waited outside Taiji Palace for the doors to open, they gathered in twos and threes and discussed among themselves.
His words were filled with anger.
"The King of Wei has arrived!"
"The Crown Prince has arrived!"
"Greetings to the Crown Prince and the King of Wei."
When the two of them alighted from the carriage, the officials hurriedly greeted them.
Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian's pale and tired face and asked with a smile,""Big Brother Crown Prince didn't sleep well last night?”
He slept soundly.
After receiving the letter from the steward of the Wu Estate, Li Tai understood that his royal brother would not start a mutiny.
"I've rested well!" Li Chengqian said coldly.”
"That's good, this little brother is also worried about imperial brother's health.”
Then, the two of them came to the front of the door and stood there waiting.
"King Wu has arrived!"
Compared to the other two princes, although the courtiers treated Li Ke with the same courtesy, the anger and resentment on their faces could be vaguely seen.
"Imperial brother, the commotion you caused yesterday was not small. I'm afraid many people did not sleep well.”Li Tai smiled and took the initiative to welcome him.
Li Ke looked at the closeness shown by the little fatty and could basically confirm that Li Tai should have heard the words in his letter.
He shrugged helplessly." As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door during night shifts. I'm just testing the Black Knights 'reaction ability. It's just a very ordinary field training."”
"Yes, training. Royal brother did a good job this time. These old brothers of the Black Knights are all survivors of Tumen Pass. They are all elites among elites. We can't let these elites be crippled by a mountain of knives and horses.”Li Tai agreed happily.
Many people felt like they had eaten flies when they heard this.
Field training?
To think that you brothers could say that!
Did you feel your conscience when you spoke?
As Li Ke spoke, he walked in front of Li Chengqian and greeted,"Royal brother."
"Yes, it's almost time for court. It's rare for you to come. Pay attention to your words and actions. Don't make Imperial Father unhappy.”Li Chengqian nodded and persuaded in a deep voice.
Li Ke smiled and nodded. After standing at the side, he looked at Li Chengqian from the corner of his eyes.
This person had changed quite a bit.
"Court!"
With a sharp sound, the door of Taiji Palace creaked open from the inside.
The three adult princes led the officials inside.
Soon after, the Emperor appeared, accompanied by Wang De.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"My dear ministers, please excuse me."
The ceremony ended.
Li Ke immediately stepped forward and said loudly,"Father, yesterday, I had a field trip to test the Black Knights 'emergency response ability. I didn't expect that Chang' an would be in a state of panic.”
"I heard that not only did he injure Lord Wei, but he also made many people in Chang 'an City prepare for a great enemy and armed their servants.”
"Your son has come to the morning court today to apologize!”
Li Shi Min laughed in his heart. This b * stard beat them to it and explained the purpose of last night's operation to shut them up.
When he saw those pigs and dogs below, his face was filled with anger, but he felt very happy in his heart.
However, he still had to criticize her.
The Emperor put on a stern face and pretended to be stern as he lectured,""Training the Black Knights is a good idea, but it's not good to be reckless and not consider the consequences!”
"Take this as a warning!"
"Your Majesty, you're siding with the King of Wu!" As soon as the Emperor's voice fell, an iron-headed person immediately stood out.
It was the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Zhengming!
The Emperor frowned. Today, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War was the one who started the trouble.
He immediately predicted that these aristocrats were not planning to give up on this matter.
Li Zhengming, Guzang Li.
He was also a scholar in Guanlong.
Guzang Li is Longxi County Wang.
His position wasn't too high, but his brother, Li Daoxuan, was extraordinary.
Luo State's governor, who was also the Luo State's governor!
Although he wasn't in the court, he was a big shot who held the military and political power of a state.
"Your Majesty, do you want to take this as a warning to offset the responsibility of the Black Knights for injuring a minister of the court?”
"Lord Wei has worked hard for the court and is loyal, but he has ended up being paralyzed for life. Isn't Your Majesty worried that the officials will be disappointed?”
The last sentence was heart-wrenching. After Li Zhengming finished speaking, he fell to the ground and his head hit the hard marble floor. He then raised his head and blood flowed out, staining his face. He looked at Li Shiming with a stern expression.
"Your Majesty, please judge!"
"Your Majesty, today, the King of Wu accidentally injured Lord Wei. Tomorrow, will there be a prince who can casually injure other officials?”
"In the eyes of the prince, officials are like pigs and dogs. How can officials be loyal to the court?”
……
Immediately after, the sound of kneeling and kowtowing could be heard.
"Your Majesty, Old Cheng pleads for forgiveness. Last night, the Black Knights were led out of the city by the vile spawn of the Chen family. He did not carry out Your Highness's mission well, and Your Highness cannot take the blame.”
Cheng Yaojin suddenly stood up. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted at his colleagues who were kneeling on the ground,"You bunch of filth, if you want my Old Cheng family to go extinct, just say it. I, Old Cheng, am a rough person. Don't play such a small trick!”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Yesterday, there was also a vile son of my family.”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me…"
……
Zhangsun Wuji watched as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, and the others stepped forward to apologize, and he could not help but frown.
The others who were kneeling also frowned slightly.
No one had expected such a situation.
"Your Majesty, this subject's son is also a commander. This matter cannot be blamed on Your Highness.”Zhangsun Wuji stood out and set the tone for this matter.
If this continued, it was very likely that the new and old nobles would become enemies with each other.
New nobles like Cheng Yaojin remained silent on the matter of the aristocrats targeting Li Ke.
However, if the aristocrats offended this group of new nobles because of this matter…
Even he, Zhangsun Wuji, was in a difficult position.
If he really angered this group of killing geniuses, the consequences would be very serious.
The Emperor looked at these old brothers who had fought with him and was very happy.
He knew very well that this group of brothers were not siding with his son, Li Ke.
Instead, he was helping the emperor solve a difficult problem.
In the royal court, only this group of old brothers remained united with him.
"Wu Wang Li Ke, Cheng Chumo and the others have indeed done it!”"Li Ke, as their big brother, has to take the primary responsibility. I've decided to let Li Ke go to Yizhou to become a vassal. Without my consent, he's not allowed to return to Jingzhao!" Li Shimin said seriously.”
Zhangsun Wuji could not help but frown. He had a feeling that the Emperor was pushing the boat with the current.
Could it be that His Majesty had long planned to let Li Ke become a vassal?
At this moment, he didn't have time to think too much. He quietly made a subtle hint behind him.
"Your Majesty, you can't!" Someone immediately stood up and objected,"Now the whole city is saying that Li is a substitute for Tao Jiang, and Yang Hua is everywhere."”
"His Highness Ke has the Yang bloodline of the previous dynasty, and he has known Su Dan's daughter for a long time.”
"What does Wu Wang want to do?"
"Hanzhong is the place where Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty hid. If Your Highness becomes a vassal of Yizhou, I'm afraid it will endanger the country in the future!”
"I suggest that the King of Wu be granted the title of Deputy Governor of Longyou, at the same level as Helian Tienan, to help Helian Tienan rectify Tuyuhun.”
"The original Tuyuhun territory shall be the fief of the King of Wu!”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
……
More than half of the courtiers agreed.
Li Shiming was furious, and his hands on his knees tightly gripped the dragon robe.
His son was actually going to be chased to a barbarian land!
Moreover, he had originally wanted Li Ke to develop in Yizhou!
Li Ke laughed in his heart.
The Tuyuhun territory was on the Silk Road!
His fief was in Tuyuhun, he didn't even dare to think about it!
This group of stupid pigs actually wanted to chase him to Tuyuhun?
Does my son deserve to die in your eyes? The Emperor's lips moved slightly in his anger. He was about to ask these people this question.
"Imperial Father, your son is willing to rule Tuyuhun.”Li Ke suddenly said," The Imperial Court has conquered Tuyuhun, but they have always been using a method of coaxing and governing. This method is very unstable. As the local forces gradually recover and the Imperial Court weakens, these places will leave the Imperial Court's jurisdiction.”
"Your son is willing to become Tuyuhun's vassal. I will stay in Tuyuhun and completely assimilate Tuyuhun into the territory of the Great Tang. Your son will be satisfied if I can accomplish this one thing in my life!”
Li Shi Min pondered for a few breaths and nodded,"Alright, I agree. Dear ministers, you should be satisfied now, right?”
"We are terrified!" Those kneeling looked terrified, but they were laughing in their hearts.
How could the Emperor not know what these pigs and dogs were thinking? He was also sneering. It was not certain who would benefit who.
However, he was sure that his unlucky child was definitely not someone who would suffer a loss.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Tai stepped out and reported loudly,""Imperial Father, your son has something to report!"
Everyone looked at Li Tai in astonishment.
"Correct!"
"Imperial aunt and cousin have been widowed in Chang Le Gate for more than ten years. Now that the world is stable and the four seas are peaceful, no one can shake the country.”
Everyone's eyeballs fell out of their sockets.
The Emperor was no exception.
Li Ke lowered his head and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Every time the Shi clan attacked him, paralyzing Wei Gui was just a bonus. Killing one or two people was nothing.
He was about to start digging up the graves of the aristocrats!
He believed that no one would be able to see it for the time being. Even if they did, they would not be able to stop it!
If you dare to punch me, I'll dig up your ancestral grave!
This was Li Ke's attitude towards the gentry.
