As soon as Li Yuan was carried out, Li Shiming's aura changed.
He sat there. Although he was not sitting on the dragon throne, he was more like an emperor!
"Invite Zhangsun Wuhen back."
Li Shi Min ordered.
A guard received the order and ran out to chase after Zhangsun Wuhen.
"Imperial Father is old, so it's normal for him to be a little muddle-headed, but this king is very clear-headed!”
Li Shi Min looked down and said,
"Merits should be rewarded, and wrongs should be punished. This is a natural principle! Although Zhangsun Wuhen's words were a little emotional, every word was true and there was no falsehood!”
"Do you think that this marquis should be bestowed?”
Since he had already said so, which of the ministers would still have any objections? Wasn't this courting death?
They naturally said in unison,
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Hu, hu-"
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji's back was drenched in cold sweat as he panted heavily.
God knows how he managed to survive that short period of time just now. Being with this younger brother of his was like being a jumping machine!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Marquis has returned.”
The guard reported to Li Shi Min.
This kid was on the right track!
As expected, Zhangsun Wuhen was following behind the guard, walking over while chatting and laughing.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he couldn't help but laugh."
"Ah, everyone's still here. Good, good…Why are you all looking at me? It's embarrassing."
Everyone: "???"
"Cough cough…Wuhen, come up and listen to the title!”
Li Shiming coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and announced,
"From today onwards, you are the first Marquis of the Great Tang. As long as the country is not destroyed, your title will last forever!”
"This is what Imperial Father has agreed to just now. The officials present also have no objections.”
"Men, bestow me with the robe and jade belt!"
A few palace maids hurriedly brought up the prepared marquis robe and helped Zhangsun Wuhen dress up neatly.
"What a heroic bearing!"
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up as he looked up and down. He praised,
"Wuhen, you look even more otherworldly in these clothes. Very good, very good!”
The ministers nodded in agreement.
Zhangsun Wuhen had always been a handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He also had a domineering aura that ordinary people did not have.
Wearing this robe made him look even more noble! No matter who saw it, they would praise it greatly. There were even a few ministers who were secretly tempted.
His daughters and nieces were still unmarried. If they could match up to him, wouldn't they be able to benefit greatly?
A sixteen-year-old marquis…
His future was boundless!
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji was already grinning from ear to ear, his smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.
He had finally taken it down!
"Thank you for your praise, brother-in-law."
Zhangsun Wuhen cupped his hands at Li Shiming and smiled,
"It's said that a marquis general is made from piles of bones. I thought it would be difficult, but it's actually just that. It's very simple.”
The ministers were speechless.
Why did these words make him so angry that he wanted to beat someone up?!
"Cough cough…You're too strong, that's why you think it's simple.”
Li Shi Min coughed and waved his hand,
"Alright, this matter is over.”
Zhangsun Wuhen nodded and returned to Zhangsun Wuji's side.
Countless gazes swept over him, but he remained calm and collected. There was no strange expression on his face.
"Brat, where did you get the confidence to speak to His Majesty like that?”
Zhangsun Wuji tugged at his sleeve and whispered,
"Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will kill you in anger?”
That scene just now, he really pinched his forehead and broke out in cold sweat!
"Whose head?"
Zhangsun Wuhen flicked his sleeves and snorted.
"Do you think that old thing still has the ability to kill me? What a joke!"
"If the Emperor and the Crown Prince gave the order at the same time, one to kill me and the other to protect me, guess whose words would be more effective.”
Zhangsun Wuji replied,"…Of course, of course the Crown Prince's words are effective.”
He wasn't an idiot. In the current situation, the Emperor was a commander without an army. He couldn't command anyone at all.
"So, what am I afraid of?"
Zhangsun Wuhen shrugged.
"I'm taking advantage of his illness to take his life! No matter how much I torture him, even if I poop on his head and ask him to borrow paper, he won't be able to get up, understand?”
Zhangsun Wuji: "…???"
What a strange metaphor!
"Besides, I'm just cooperating with brother-in-law. If I didn't stand up and bombard Li Yuan, do you think this stalemate would be so easy to break?”
Zhangsun Wuhen's gaze was deep as he said,
"In a power struggle, power is the most important. Ministers were all fence-sitters, following whoever had a higher chance of winning.”
"If the Emperor gritted his teeth and refused to relent, it would be equivalent to stopping the decline, and the Crown Prince's victory would also be stopped.”
"Believe it or not, if I don't do anything, it will take at least three months for brother-in-law to ascend the throne.”
Zhangsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly asked,"
"Then if you make a move and suppress His Majesty, when will His Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne?”
"That's hard to say."
Zhangsun Wuhen said casually,
"It could be tomorrow or tonight, but it shouldn't be noon because Li Yuan was still unconscious at noon."
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
