Inside King Qin's Mansion, after the door closed, Li Yuan looked at the three of them coldly.
Li Er picked up one of the memorials that had fallen to the ground and opened it. When he saw the words "Abdication Edict" on it, his expression changed drastically.
The abdication edict was not scary.
Most importantly, the words were written in the Flying White font!
Li Er panicked. Everyone in the imperial court knew that he was the only one who used the Flying White Style to write memorials. Moreover, his Flying White Style was unique and difficult for others to imitate.
His Imperial Father had come this time to denounce him.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji curiously went over and saw the handwriting and content on the memorial. Their expressions were happy.
Li Er actually dared to write an abdication edict behind his back? And he was discovered by Imperial Father?
Li Jiancheng suppressed his joy and reprimanded,
"Second brother, Imperial Father is in his prime. How can you write such a thing as an abdication edict behind his back?”
"That's right, Second Brother! What's the difference between this and rebellion?!" Li Yuanji reprimanded.”
Li Er's face was pale and he said anxiously,"Father, this is not written by your son!"”
"It's written in black and white. You still dare to say that you didn't write it?" Li Jiancheng sneered. It's your handwriting on it. Who in the world can imitate Qin Wang's Flying White Body?”
Li Er looked at Li Yuan in panic and knelt down with a thud. His voice trembled as he said,"Imperial Father, someone is framing your son!”
"Whether or not it was framed, Father will naturally make the decision.”
Li Jiancheng was not willing to give up the opportunity to beat a drowning dog. He bowed solemnly at Li Yuan and said,
"Imperial Father, your son thinks that we should immediately dismiss second brother from his position as Shangshu Ling and remove him from all his duties. Let second brother sit idle in the residence and at the same time send the Supreme Court, Ministry of Justice, and Imperial Censor to investigate!”
"I agree," Li Yuanji said.”
Li Yuan glanced at the pale Li Er, then at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's aggressive stance. He snorted coldly and said,"
"Dismissing Shimin from his position as Shangshu Ling, then should I stop you from being the Crown Prince and Yuanji from commanding the army?”
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng looked up at Li Yuan in astonishment and asked in a puzzled tone,""Imperial Father, what do you mean?"
Li Yuan pointed at another memorial on the ground and said,""Look at this memorial again."
Li Jiancheng was confused. He walked over and picked up the memorial on the ground. When he opened it, his expression changed drastically.
This was an abdication edict.
The words on it were no longer the Fei Bai style that Li Shiming specialized in, but Li Jiancheng's!
At the end of the memorial was Li Yuanji's signature.
Li Yuanji leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air."This is forgery! Who was so bold as to forge an abdication edict!”
"Zhen also wants to know."
Li Yuan looked at the changing expressions of the three of them and said with a straight face,
"But I feel that no one would dare to forge such a rebellious thing. Do you three bastards really think I'm old?”
"If you want it, I can give it to you if I think it's okay, but you can't snatch it!”
"The three of you are all helping me write the abdication edict behind my back. Are you so impatient to sit in that position?”
Li Yuan raised his finger and pointed at them angrily." Tell me everything clearly today. Other than helping me write the abdication edict behind my back, what else have you done that I don't know about?!"”
" Father, this edict of abdication is definitely fake," Li Jiancheng said anxiously." Your son has never written such a thing, and I dare not write such a thing!"”
Li Yuanji nodded and said in a panicked tone,""Imperial Father, you are wise. What is the difference between writing this behind your back and rebelling? Even if your son had ten heads, it would not be enough for Imperial Father to chop them off.”
Li Er calmed down a little and stared at Li Yuan.""Father, where did you get this?”
"You guys are not careful."
Li Yuan raised his finger and pointed at the memorials in their hands.
"These two memorials were stolen from your mansion by my good imperial grandson. How can they be fake?”
A good imperial grandson?
Li Chengdao did it?
Hearing this, Li Er suddenly turned around and looked at Li Jiancheng. No wonder the eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Chengdao, followed Li Yuan to Prince Qin's residence today. So it was him who reported him?
That was not right either!
A hint of confusion flashed across Li Er's eyes. It was understandable for him to report him with such a memorial. After all, Li Chengdao was the eldest grandson of the emperor and had lived in the Eastern Palace since he was young.
But why did Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have to report it as well?
Was he putting righteousness above family?
Li Yuanji also looked at Li Jiancheng with a puzzled expression. Is this your biological son?
At this moment, when Li Jiancheng heard the name Li Chengdao, his entire body trembled and he said in disbelief,
"Imperial Father, are you saying that it was Chengdao who used this thing to report your son?”
"Yes!" Li Yuan nodded.
As he spoke, Li Yuan's expression turned serious, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. He was not a fool. From the intense reactions of Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji, it did not seem like it was fake.
"You really didn't write it?" Li Yuan muttered.”
Li Er said firmly,
"It's absolutely true. Father, your son will only say one thing. Li Chengdao hasn't been to Prince Qin's residence for two years. How could he bring something from Prince Qin's residence to complain to father? There is only one possibility, that is, big brother and third brother want to frame your son!”
"However, Li Chengdao also reported Eldest Brother and Third Brother. That means that Eldest Brother and Third Brother are not behind this!”
Li Er paused and continued,"As for why he did this, your son doesn't understand.”
Li Yuan was silent for a few seconds. He couldn't help but feel that Li Er's words were somewhat credible. He said in a deep voice,
"You said that these two edict of abdication are forged. Whether they are forged or not, I will call Chengdao in. After you confront each other, the truth will be revealed!”
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji said in unison,"Father is wise!"
Li Yuan turned around and shouted at the door,""Good imperial grandson, come in!"
It was quiet in the direction of King Qin's manor. There was no sign of it opening. Only the sound of the wind blew into their ears.
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and walked to the door. He shouted,"A good imperial grandson? Come in!"
"Xuan Zhen!"
Seeing that there was still no movement outside the door, Li Yuan called out Pei Ji's name.
However, there was still no response. Li Yuan frowned even more and shouted again,"Wang Yu!"
No matter how loud his voice was, there was no response from outside the manor. The main gate of King Qin's residence did not move at all.
Li Yuan couldn't hide the confusion in his eyes. There was only a door between them, so there was no reason that he couldn't be heard from outside.
Bang! Bang! Li Yuan raised his palm and pulled the door bolt to open the door. There were only two heavy sounds, but the door could not be opened.
Li Yuan peeked out through the crack in the door and saw that the door outside King Qin's Residence was tightly locked with a chain. He immediately flew into a rage and said,""Let them out. Who told them to lock the door? Don't you know that I'm still inside?!"
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji were stunned. They stood up and walked to the door. They looked through the gap in the door and saw that there was indeed an iron chain hanging on the door.
Beside the chains, two imperial guards could be seen standing guard.
Bang bang! Li Er banged on the door a few times and shouted,""Open the door!"
However, no matter how hard he slapped, the two imperial guards outside the door were unmoved.
Suddenly, Li Er stopped knocking on the door. A strong sense of unease rose in his heart. He turned to look at Li Yuan and said,"Imperial Father, your son wants to ask you something.”
Li Yuan's face was filled with anger, but he didn't deny it. He said,""You ask."
Li Er took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression,"Father, why did you come to Prince Qin's mansion today?”
" I originally wanted to call the three of you to the Imperial Palace for questioning," Li Yuan said in a deep voice." But Chengdao said that it would be easy to alert the enemy. Calling Jiancheng and Yuanji to your Prince Qin's Mansion for questioning will catch you off guard."”
Gulp... Li Er's throat moved, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He didn't care about wiping the sweat and said with a trembling voice,
"Your son has a bold idea.”
"Father, what do you think…"
"If those two edict of abdication were forged by Li Chengdao himself, and he instigated you to call Eldest Brother and Third Brother to your son's Qin Residence and close the door…"
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's expressions changed drastically. If that was really the case, then the person who wanted to rebel was the eldest grandson of the emperor, Li Chengdao!
Li Yuan quivered and said in disbelief,""How is this possible? He's only eight years old this year. How can he be so shrewd?”
"Whether he is shrewd or not, the gates of King Qin's Mansion are indeed locked. We can't get out!”
Li Er pointed at the locked door and said,""Imperial Father, it's very likely that we'll be wiped out by that brat Li Chengdao!”
