Pei Ji was stunned when he heard this. Hearing an eight-year-old child denounce the Heavenly Strategy General, Li Shimin, for plotting a rebellion, why did it feel so absurd?
Li Yuan also looked at him suspiciously. He picked up the memorial and opened it. His eyes narrowed.
The words on the memorial were written in Fei Bai style.
In this world, only the King of Qin, Li Shimin, could write memorials in Fei Bai style.
As for the contents of the memorial.
It was the abdication edict!
Li Yuan's hands trembled as he held the memorial. He handed the memorial to Pei Ji and said in a deep voice,""Xuan Zhen, take a look too."
Pei Ji hurriedly took the memorial and his eyes widened when he saw it.
"Do you think this is real or fake?" asked Li Yuan.”
"I don't know." Pei Ji shook his head.”
"I can't tell either."
Li Yuan's expression was uncertain. He lowered his head to look at the eldest grandson and asked,"Chengdao, where did you get this memorial?”
"King Qin's Mansion."
"It's on my second uncle's case," Li Chengdao said seriously.”
"Then it should be true."
"This bastard!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth.!”
Seeing Li Yuan's face turn red from anger, Pei Ji hurriedly said,""Your Majesty, please calm down."
"How do you want me to appease my anger?"
Li Yuan glared at him." This b * stard has already written the abdication edict for me. What's the difference between this and a knife on my neck?”
As he spoke, Li Yuan stroked Li Chengdao's little head and said with heartache,""Chengdao is still the best. If your father and Yuanji can be like you, Zhen will be at ease.”
"My father and my third uncle are not like me." Li Chengdao shook his head.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly. That was true. All sons learned from their fathers. There was no such thing as a father being like his son.
Suddenly, Li Yuan heard Li Chengdao's tender voice again.""But they can be like my second uncle!"
What did that mean…
Li Yuan was stunned. Then, he saw Li Chengdao take out another memorial from his waist and pass it to him.
"Imperial Grandfather, I want to report my father, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng, and my third uncle, Yuanji, for plotting a rebellion!”
Outside the Yin and Yang Palace, it was completely silent.
Pei Ji looked at Li Chengdao in disbelief. It was one thing to report the King of Qin's rebellion. After all, he was a member of the Eastern Palace, the eldest son of the Crown Prince, and the Emperor's eldest grandson.
But you reported your father and Li Yuanji for treason. What reason is this?
Li Yuan was also stunned. He did not expect Li Chengdao to say this. He looked at the memorial in Li Chengdao's hand and opened it suspiciously. He threw the memorial on the ground and said angrily,
"Two more bastards!"
Pei Ji looked at the memorial on the ground with his heart pounding. There were four words written on the memorial: Abdication decree!
As the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court and the Duke of Wei, Pei Ji recognized the handwriting on it at a glance. It was from the Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng. Li Yuanji's handwriting was also on the signature.
Just this alone was enough to prove that the Crown Prince and King Qi Li Yuanji had the intention to rebel!
"Be it Shimin, Jiancheng, or Yuanji, I am their father, and they are all trying to force me to abdicate? I'm not dead yet!"
Li Yuan was so angry that his entire body was trembling." This is simply rebellious!”
"Your Majesty, we haven't investigated the truth of this matter yet. It might be a misunderstanding…" Pei Ji hesitated.
"Misunderstanding? Is there any misunderstanding with the abdication edict?”
"Look at who reported it!" Li Yuan said angrily.”
"It's my eldest grandson. He's only eight years old. Do you think an eight-year-old child would lie?”
"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known that these three bastards were actually doing this behind my back!”
"Xuan Zhen, what do you think we should do now?”
"It's all up to Your Majesty to decide." Pei Ji bowed solemnly.”
"Alright then."
"I want to call all three of them to the palace and confront them face to face!" Li Yuan said coldly.”
Li Chengdao blinked his eyes." Imperial Grandfather, calling them to the Imperial Palace might alert the enemy. Why don't we go to King Qin's Mansion and call my father and Third Uncle over as well?"”
"If they were in King Qin's residence, their guard would be slightly weaker.”
Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded slightly." Royal grandson, you're the one with the idea, Wang Yu!”
Wang Yu, the chief eunuch in blue eunuch robes and holding a horsetail whisk, quickly walked over and bowed.""This servant is here."
Li Yuan waved his hand and said,"Do as Chengdao says."”
"Yes!" Wang Yu nodded.
Li Yuan bent down and held Li Chengdao's hand affectionately. He said gently,""Chengdao, you go with me. Wang Yu, Xuan Zhen, you guys go too!”
Wang Yu and Pei Ji hurriedly agreed.
At this moment, Li Chengdao said patiently,""Imperial Grandfather, bring some people with you. What if they are desperate?”
Li Yuan thought for a moment." Alright."
Li Chengdao gave Yu Huatian and Ji Gang a look.
Very soon, Wang Yu began to gather the imperial palace guards, bringing a total of 202 people.
And these people.
They were all Li Chengdao's Brocade Guards and East Chamber's foreigners.
Truly a discerning eye…Li Chengdao glanced at Wang Yu with admiration.
————
"Imperial Father is here?"
In King Qin's Residence, Li Er was washing up in his room. When he heard the news of Li Yuan's arrival, he was stunned and hurriedly walked out.
The moment he stepped out of the house, Li Er saw that in the courtyard of King Qin's residence, other than Li Yuan, Li Chengdao, Wang Yu, and Pei Ji, there were also 200 imperial guards. He could not help but be shocked.
Li Chengdao sized up Li Er. At this moment, Li Er was twenty-seven years old. He was clearly very young, but one could feel what it meant to be dignified without anger from his face.
"Your son greets father."
Li Er, who was dressed in the robes of the King of Qin, quickly walked to Li Yuan and bowed. Then, he asked in confusion,"Father, what are you doing with such a big lineup?”
"You'll know later," Li Yuan said coldly.”
Soon, the 37-year-old Li Jiancheng and the 23-year-old Li Yuanji walked in with confused faces.
"Your son greets father."
The two of them bowed to Li Yuan.
After straightening his body, Li Jiancheng saw Xiao Budian standing beside Li Yuan and was stunned." Chengdao, why are you here?”
"I came with Imperial Grandfather." Li Chengdao blinked.”
Li Jiancheng was even more confused. He looked at Li Yuan in confusion. He did not understand why Li Yuan had called him to King Qin's Mansion and brought Li Chengdao with him.
How could Li Yuan endure it at this moment? He took the two memorials from Wang Yu's hands and threw them heavily on the ground. He said angrily,
"You three bastards, look at what you've done!”
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji looked at each other. Why was their father so angry early in the morning? They didn't seem to have done anything to anger him.
"You're quite good at pretending."
Li Yuan coldly laughed. He turned around and waved his hand at Wang Yu and Pei Ji, saying,
"You guys go out first. Zhen will call you later, then you can come in.”
Wang Yu and Pei Ji cupped their hands and retreated, saying,""Yes."
"Imperial Grandfather, I'm going out too." Li Chengdao said in a tender voice.”
"Alright." Li Yuan nodded.
Pei Ji, Wang Yu, Li Chengdao, and the two hundred palace guards left King Qin's Mansion and stood outside.
Looking at the closed doors of Prince Qin's mansion, Pei Ji clicked his tongue and said,""This old man has opened my eyes today."
Wang Yu lowered his voice and said," Who isn't? I never thought that the Crown Prince, King Qi, and King Qin would write that."”
Pei Ji nodded and turned to look at Li Chengdao.
If it wasn't for this eldest grandson of the emperor, His Majesty would probably still be in the dark.
Right at this moment, Pei Ji was stunned for a moment. Wang Yu was also stunned.
The two of them watched as Li Chengdao suddenly took the iron chain from Ji Gang's hand and hung it on the door of Prince Qin's residence.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Pei Ji asked in astonishment.”
Li Chengdao glanced at him." Lock the door."”
"His Majesty is still inside and hasn't come out yet," Wang Yu hastily said.”
"Nonsense. If he wasn't inside, would I have locked the door?" Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.”
“???”
In next to no time, Pei Ji and Wang Yu's expressions changed drastically as they looked at Li Cheng Dao in shock.
What shocked them even more was that the 202 imperial guards they brought out of the palace suddenly attacked and knocked out the guards of King Qin's Mansion and the Eastern Palace standing at the door.
Following the muffled sound of their bodies landing on the ground, more than a dozen burly palace guards surrounded the two of them with cold expressions.
Pei Ji's face turned pale. At this moment, how could he not see that this group of imperial palace guards were the people of the imperial grandson? He could not help but question Wang Yu with his eyes!
You were the one who picked all these people, but none of them are His Majesty's men!
Wang Yu's face was even paler than his.
When the imperial guards were gathered, there were only 202 people in the Yin and Yang Palace. Who would have thought that they were all the eldest grandson's men?
Thinking up to here, Wang Yu shuddered in his heart.
The eldest grandson of the emperor in front of him.
Only eight years old!
How could he be so shrewd!
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want?" Wang Yu couldn't help but ask.”
"The King of Qin wants to rebel," Li Chengdao said solemnly.”
"Why doesn't this old minister look like it?" Pei Ji asked in surprise.”
Wang Yu nodded non-stop at the side. Right now, you're the one who looks the most like a rebel!
Pei Ji looked like he wanted him to turn over a new leaf and said in a deep voice,
"Your Highness, His Majesty already knows that the King of Qin intends to rebel. Isn't His Majesty already reprimanding them? The abdication edict that Your Highness took out from King Qin's Mansion is enough to make the King of Qin suffer.”
"I wrote that abdication edict," Li Chengdao suddenly said.”
“???”Pei Ji looked at him blankly." Then the other letter…"
Li Chengdao nodded and said in a childish voice,"That's right. The other abdication edict was also forged by me.”
"So, when the matter inside is exposed, Imperial Grandfather will definitely let them go.”
"However, the fact that the King of Qin is plotting a rebellion is a certainty.”
"Once the Qin King rebelled, think about it, who would be the most unlucky?”
Li Chengdao raised his finger with a solemn expression and pointed at himself."
"It's the Eastern Palace!"
"It's me!"
"That's why I can't let him rebel!"
"Then why did Your Highness forge another edict of abdication to report the Crown Prince and King Qi?" Wang Yu asked in fear.”
"If the King of Qin is locked up because of his rebellion, will the Crown Prince sit on the throne?" Li Chengdao said faintly. If he sat on the throne, would he be granted the title of King Qi?”
"Isn't this throwing the Great Tang into chaos?”
Li Chengdao's tender voice was firm and decisive."The Great Tang is in dire straits, and we can't allow them to act so recklessly. If they were to be crowned king, they would be burying the seeds of disaster for the Great Tang.”
The current Li Chengdao could no longer return to his original world and could only live in the Great Tang.
If the incident at Xuanwu Gate hadn't happened, Li Er would have been able to sit on the throne and start the reign of Zhenguan. Li Chengdao could accept that outcome.
But Li Er's ascension meant that the Eastern Palace would be eradicated, and Li Jiancheng's ascension meant that the Great Tang might be in danger of becoming a country within a country.
There were two outcomes.
Li Chengdao couldn't accept it.
"Then you won't let His Majesty come out…" Wang Yu said carefully.
Li Chengdao glanced at him." Imperial Grandfather values relationships too much. He feels that he can't afford to lose anything. He can't make a decision between the Eastern Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion. I don't want him to regret it in his later years, so I helped him in advance.”
"As for how to help?"
"I thought about it."
Li Chengdao looked at the two of them with a serious expression and said,"I can only be the emperor."
Pei Ji and Wang Yu looked at him dumbfoundedly. Wasn't this a f * cking rebellion?!!
