Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were complaining in their hearts that Li Yuanji had failed to get rid of Li Xuanlie in Yang Pass.
Until now, they had not received any news from Li Yuanji, so they did not know what had happened in Yangguan City.
At this moment, Li Xuanlie's Black Flag Army was still stationed at Yang Pass, blocking the news.
He would not give Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming the chance to prepare in advance.
"Xuan Lie, zhen has many things to say to you. Let's disperse the court today.”
Father and son reunited. Li Yuan had many things in his heart that he couldn't wait to tell Li Xuanlie.
The ministers are respectfully sending him off.
"Imperial Father, please wait a moment. Your son still has something to report to Imperial Father."”
Li Yuan smiled and asked,"What's the matter? It's not too late for us to talk in the royal study after the court session ends."”
"This matter concerns Imperial Father, the King of Qin and the King of Jin.”
Li Xuanlie's gaze once again shot toward Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
That gaze was like an invisible giant wall, causing the two of them to feel pressured again.
A bad premonition flashed through their hearts.
Li Yuan was curious and said,"In that case, tell me."”
Li Xuanlie turned his head to look outside the hall and shouted,"Someone, bring the coffin up.”
After the order was given, several Black Flag Guards immediately carried a coffin up to the golden hall.
The officials in the hall were shocked.
King Reliance was actually carrying a coffin to the palace!
What was he trying to do?
"Xuan Lie, this coffin, this…"
Li Yuan was also shocked. He pointed at the coffin in front of him, his face full of confusion.
"The one lying in this coffin is the traitor Li Yuanji!" Li Xuanlie calmly said.”
The hall was deathly silent.
Up to Li Yuan, down to Pei Ji, Li Jing and other ministers, all look surprised.
Only Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming felt a chill in their hearts as they sensed something.
Li Xuanlie took a deep breath and said sternly,"Reporting to Imperial Father, Li Yuanji set up an ambush at Yang Pass and attempted to murder your son. Your son was forced to defend himself, so he was executed on the spot!”
Boom!
It was as if a clap of thunder had sounded in Hanyuan Palace.
Li Yuanji, the King of Qi of the Great Tang, had the audacity to murder King Reliance of the Tang Empire!
Moreover, he failed to plot against her and was killed instead!
This could be said to be the most sensational event since the founding of the Great Tang. Even the officials present were all people who had seen great storms and waves, and they were all shocked by this news.
Li Yuan staggered and took half a step back, almost losing his balance.
"Father ~~"
Seeing this, Li Xiu Ning quickly went forward and held Li Yuan.
"Ping Yang, tell father that this is not true. Father must have heard wrongly!”
Li Yuan's voice trembled. He could not believe it, nor was he willing to believe this cruel truth.
Li Xiu Ning sighed softly and silently recounted the entire incident from the Long Yun vein.
Li Yuan's expression changed from confusion to shock, and then from shock to grief and indignation.
"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!"
Li Yuan cursed angrily and punched Li Yuanji's coffin.
"I was the ruler of a country in vain. I didn't expect that I would raise such a beast like you. You actually wanted to murder your own brother!”
"Animal, animal!"
At this moment, Li Yuan was in tears. He had lost the dignity of a king and was just a grieving old father.
He had summoned Li Xuanlie back to the court because he wanted to rely on him to stop the various schools of thought from fighting openly and covertly, so that the Li family could avoid the brothers of the previous dynasty killing each other and the father and son falling out.
He did not expect that the situation he did not want to see would happen ahead of time.
Li Yuanji really wanted to kill his own brother!
However, he was still a father after all. Although his son had committed an unforgivable mistake, how could he not feel grief in his heart now that his life had returned to the Yellow Springs?
At this moment, Li Yuan was filled with anger and sorrow.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin finally understood why there had been no news of Li Yuanji and why Li Xuanlie had returned to Luoyang alive.
"Imperial Father, how could Yuanji do something like murder his own brother? Your son doesn't believe it. There must be another reason behind his actions. Imperial Father, please investigate thoroughly!”
Li Jiancheng suddenly stood up and spoke indignantly, interrupting Li Yuan's grief.
At the same time, he winked at Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min was smart and immediately understood.
His big brother wanted to use Li Yuanji's death to make things difficult for Li Xuanlie.
Li Shi Min immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands,"Imperial brother's words are reasonable. What exactly happened in Yang Pass? How did Yuanji die? How can we make a conclusion based on third brother's words? Imperial father, please investigate thoroughly!”
The two of them were just short of pointing out that Li Xuanlie had deliberately killed Li Yuanji and framed Li Yuanxuan.
"Your Majesty, I agree with King Qin and King Jin. This matter is of great importance and should be investigated thoroughly!”
The number one strategist of the Jin Prince's residence, Wang Gui, immediately stepped out to join in.
"His Highness King Qi is of royal blood and has a noble status. It is only right that the truth be investigated!”
The number one advisor of King Qin's Mansion, Fang Xuanling, also stood out to support him.
Around the two kings, all the ministers in the palace joined forces and tried their best to investigate thoroughly.
Only Li Jing and a few other ministers remained silent and did not step forward to respond.
Li Xuanlie was unusually calm. He remembered every single one of the officials who spoke.
A cold smile quietly flashed across the corner of the young man's mouth.
The situation before him was within his expectations.
Although he had many advisors and generals under him, his power was mostly in Persia and Rome.
In fact, the people in Luoyang, the native land of the Great Tang, were all the henchmen of King Qin and King Jin.
He wanted to use this opportunity to see the situation in the court clearly and see who was Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's henchman.
The two kings and the ministers attacked at the same time, and Li Yuan did not know how to deal with them.
"Shut up!"
Li Xuanlie suddenly shouted.
That thunderous shout shook everyone's eardrums until they went numb.
The hall was instantly silent.
