Chapter V
"So it's Eleventh Brother!"
When he saw the Eleventh Prince, Li Xuan, who raised his eyebrows slightly, had a surprised expression on his face.
"I went to pick a weapon."
Hearing this.
Li Chu's face was full of surprise."
"Looks like Seventh Brother wants to cultivate seriously! This is a good thing. I heard that Seventh Brother goes out of the palace every day to Chang 'an Street and wine shops to play the erhu for the lowly people. It is really detrimental to the royal family's face. I think Seventh Brother should pay attention to his propriety!”
These words seemed to be exhorting, but in fact, they were speaking to Li Xuan in a tone similar to that of an elder.
It sounded rather ear-piercing.
Li Xuan was not surprised by Li Chu's words at all.
The reason was very simple. Li Xuan's mother was not on good terms with Li Chu's mother, and they were even enemies. Although Li Chu was very outstanding and was a powerful character in the competition for the position of Crown Prince, he was suppressed by Li Qingyu in every aspect.
He had always been quite dissatisfied!
Li Chu could not afford to offend Li Qingyu, let alone Li Xuan's mother.
Therefore, he could only pick the "soft persimmon" Li Xuan to be sarcastic and find some satisfaction.
If it was in the past, Li Xuan would have just laughed it off.
After all, he did not want to fight for the position of Crown Prince, nor did he want to make too many enemies.
Most importantly…
In terms of strength, although it was because he did not like to cultivate, he was indeed inferior to Li Chu.
However, the current Li Xuan was already different.
After all, he was a Xiantian expert with strength, and he was at the Xiantian fifth stage. He was much more powerful than Li Chu, who was only at the Xiantian second stage.
Since that was the case, why would Li Chu have the right to show off in front of him?
Moreover, the words "lowly peasant" really made Li Xuan feel that it was too much.
Li Xuan looked at Li Chu with a sharp gaze and said angrily,
"Presumptuous! Li Chu, do you know your crimes?"
As he said this, Li Xuan's body naturally carried a trace of the might of the Heavenly Sword. In the blink of an eye, when people looked at Li Xuan, they would subconsciously feel that his figure was tall and majestic!
As expected, Li Chu was shocked by Li Xuan's sudden loud voice.
He subconsciously asked,"
"Guilty? What crime have I committed?"
He looked at the slightly dumbfounded Li Chu.
Li Xuan struck while the iron was hot.
"Taizu had the ancestor's instruction first-a ruler is a boat; The common people are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The descendants of the Li family must remember that the way of being a ruler should be based on the people!”
"Li Chu, what do you do? What right did a mere prince have to call a citizen of the Great Tang a lowly peasant? How dare you say such words? What do you want to do? What do you want to do?”
"Even father and the previous emperor didn't dare to say this. Do you think you're the emperor? You want to rebel? You want to overthrow the foundation of the Great Tang? Traitor, you shouldn't be called a son. Don't call this highness seventh brother in the future. I'm ashamed to call you brother, you're not worthy!”
After saying that.
Li Xuan waved his sleeves and left with Chang Ping, not giving Li Chu any face at all.
After Li Xuan left.
Li Chu recovered from his daze and his expression changed drastically.
"What a good Li Xuan. He really has a sharp tongue…Oh no! Quickly, follow me to see Imperial Father!"
When Li Xuan finished speaking, Li Chu came back to his senses and knew that things were going to be bad.
Although Li Xuan's words could be big or small, what this world was most afraid of was rumors. If the conflict here was spread out, the blow to his reputation would definitely be quite terrifying.
The phrase "lowly peasant" was only used by him to step on Li Xuan. It was disgusting.
However, if the news reached the ears of the Tang Emperor, he would be doomed.
At this moment, the best remedy was to take the initiative to apologize to the Tang Emperor. Before Li Xuan's words spread, he would apologize.
……
He returned to his own palace.
Li Xuan's face was filled with joy.
"So it's such a pleasant thing to label someone…It's really pleasant!”
After saying this sentence.
Li Xuan, who was all smiles, turned to look at Chang Ping beside him.
"Chang Ping, tell the First Prince, the Third Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the others about the conflict between me and the Eleventh Prince. There's no need to do anything else!”
Hearing Li Xuan's words.
Chang Ping bowed and replied,"
"Here!"
After agreeing, Chang Ping went down to settle some matters.
As for Li Xuan, he was dancing with his sword in his palace.
He didn't care what would happen if this news was leaked.
He did not like to cause trouble, nor was he afraid of it.
Especially now that he had a cheat, he would definitely be able to enter a super high realm in the future.
He wouldn't be afraid of anything.
Li Chu…
It was too disgusting.
Since he liked to jump around repeatedly, Li Xuan directly ended his dream of competing for the crown prince.
On that day, rumors about the conversation between Li Xuan and Li Chu spread in the palace.
Not only in the Royal Palace, but also in Chang 'an, there were many rumors.
The Eleventh Prince looked down on the toiling masses.
The Eleventh Prince calling the people of the Great Tang lowly peasants?
The Seventh Prince was pure and innocent, liked to enjoy himself with the people, liked to go out of the palace to play, and mingled with the people.
All in all-
Li Chu's reputation was starting to tarnish.
Of course.
Li Xuan was not any better. Although there were rumors that he was close to the people and liked to enjoy the happiness of the people, there were more rumors that he had no ambition and was only suitable to be a carefree prince.
And this part of the rumor was naturally a side effect.
Most of all, this was the Eleventh Prince's " lowly lowly people." As the news spread, it gradually caused complaints among the people.
It wasn't that the forces behind Li Chu hadn't tried to stop him before.
However, when the other princes who had great power added insult to injury, Li Chu's power was unable to cause any waves.
There was no turning back.
In the Imperial Palace.
In the imperial study of Taiji Palace where the Tang Emperor lived.
"Interesting!"
The Tang Emperor smiled as he read the report from the imperial guards."
"This ignorant and incompetent son of mine is indeed smart!”
This information clearly recorded everything that had happened.
From Li Chu finding trouble with Li Xuan to Li Xuan insulting Li Chu for not being a son.
Then, he got Chang Ping to reveal the news to the princes who were competing for the position of the crown prince. Li Xuan's series of operations, as well as all the information about the other princes spreading the news, were all detailed.
"With just a few words, he almost cut off Eleven's path to become the Crown Prince. This kid's methods are amazing!”
Looking at the label that Li Xuan had put on Li Chu, the Tang Emperor sighed with emotion and said,
"With these big hats, if he doesn't make a great contribution to the Great Tang, the Eleventh Crown Prince's position can be forgotten!”
The Great Tang was founded on martial arts and based on the people.
The resentment of the people could not be resolved by Li Chu taking the initiative to apologize.
He was still too naive.
The Tang Emperor felt a little emotional. Li Xuan's move of killing with a borrowed knife could be said to be very good!
Just from this matter alone, it could be seen that Li Xuan had very high political talent.
He had the qualifications to be an emperor.
Unfortunately, his son had never loved power and elegance since he was young.
"Great companion, pass on my orders!"
Putting down the things in his hand, Tang Emperor said,"
"The Eleventh Prince is arrogant, rebellious, and has a bad character. He will be fined ten years and ordered to move out of the palace and enter Prince Yu's residence. Concubine De did not teach her son well, so she was fined a year's money and could not step out of Dening Palace.”
There was a pause.
The Tang Emperor continued,"
"The Seventh Prince is idle and doesn't know how to improve. He is mediocre and has no achievements. He will be fined a year's worth of money and ordered to attend classes at the Imperial College every day. Consort Xian's discipline was not strict, she was fined three months of money and ordered to strictly watch over the Seventh Prince!”
The Tang Emperor had been with him since he was a child. He was an absolutely loyal eunuch, Cao Zhong, the emperor's companion.
Hearing the Tang Emperor's order, he bowed and replied,"
"Here!"
Then, he went down to do his work without asking any more questions.
This was the loyalty of a eunuch.
He only did things and did not think about anything else.
However, everyone knew that these two orders were basically going to push Li Chu to the bottom.
Ten years.
A full ten years of confinement was enough for the other princes to surpass Li Chu.
This was equivalent to making Li Chu completely lose the possibility of fighting for the position of Crown Prince.
The Emperor spoke.
That was the final blow.
It was because of the imperial power and the fact that the current Tang Emperor's martial arts cultivation was at the Great Grandmaster Realm.
He was strong enough, so he could sit firmly and be fearless.
As for abandoning such a talented son, it was not a pity. It was not within the Tang Emperor's consideration.
The reason was simple and direct.
Too many babies, willful!
