The three young men in the lead looked worried. When they saw him, their expressions were happy. They shouted as they ran over.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"Father!"
The three voices were different.
The old man stared at the three of them and then looked at the more than 200 palace guards behind them. They were all his confidants. He nodded slightly and asked,
"Didn't I say that I was going out of the city alone today? Why did you come out to find me?”
It was just a few simple words, but he no longer sounded like the rich man he had revealed when he was chatting with Yang Hao. Instead, he sounded like the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan!
The three young men in front of him.
They were:
Crown Prince Li Jiancheng!
King of Qin Li Shi Min!
King Qi Li Yuanji!
Li Jiancheng hurriedly bowed and said," Father, I feel that a country cannot live without a ruler. Father is not in Chang 'an, so I am very worried. So I took my third brother out of the city to look for him. I happened to see my second brother at the city gate, so I brought him here.”
Li Yuan frowned when he heard that. In the past, he might have been pleased that this child was filial and sensible. Now, he felt that he seemed to wish that he was a prisoner in Chang 'an!
"Eldest Brother is right!"
At this time, Li Yuanji repeatedly echoed, and then glanced at Li Shiming, who was standing silently at the side, from the corner of his eye and sneered,
" Father, you don't know how arrogant the people of Prince Qin's Mansion are. They almost set up another court. If Father isn't in Chang 'an, there might be chaos!"”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Jiancheng's expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and glared at him, saying sternly,"Third brother, don't spout nonsense. This world belongs to father. You and I are both sons, and second brother is your second brother.”
Li Shiming pursed his lips and looked up at the expressionless Li Yuan. Suddenly, he lifted his robe and knelt down on both knees. His hands touched the ground, and his forehead was close to the ground. He did not say a word, but closed his eyes as if he was waiting for his father to say something.
Li Yuanji proudly gave Li Jiancheng a look, then pointed his chin at Li Shimin, pretending to be wronged,"Eldest brother is right, third brother will remember.”
Li Yuan watched this scene coldly with mixed feelings in his heart. This second son's character was still as stubborn as before. If it was yesterday, he would probably be furious and scold Li Shiming when he saw him not defending himself at all.
But today was different from the past.
After chatting with the young man in the field, Li Yuan felt that his mentality had changed. Looking at Li Shiming who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, he felt a little heartache.
The person who had worked the hardest and achieved the most results for Li Tang actually had to make such a humble move because of a few words from others.
Was he really wrong?
Li Yuan closed his eyes, as if he was struggling with something. When he opened his eyes, he seemed to have made a decision. His tone became extremely firm,
"Prepare the decree!"
"Today, I am here in disguise to listen to the hearts of the people and observe their feelings. Crown Prince Li Jiancheng has not been able to govern the country well, causing the people to be in dire straits.”
"Prepare another decree!"
"King Qi's Li Yuanji's failure to assist the Crown Prince has caused the Crown Prince to have no virtue to bestow upon the world. He will be punished along with Li Jiancheng and imprisoned in the Eastern Palace. Without my order, anyone who dares to approach the Eastern Palace and come into contact with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will be executed immediately!”
"Prepare another decree!"
"The King of Qin, Li Shimin, has been benevolent and has made great contributions to the country. He will immediately be conferred the title of Crown Prince and assist me in governing the country. All the important officials of the King of Qin's residence will be recalled to Chang 'an for the conferring ceremony.”
After saying that, Li Yuan strode toward the dragon carriage.
