On the second day, Li Shiming's face turned uglier and uglier after reading the memorials in Hanyuan Palace.
Wang De, who was standing by the side, saw that Li Shiming's expression was not good. He carefully signaled the other maids to be careful.
At this moment, a servant rushed in.
Wang De knew this chamberlain. He was one of the Empress's subordinates.
"What's wrong?" Wang De asked after he went up to them.
"Eunuch Wang, the Empress said that Princess Jin Yang has returned and wants to ask His Majesty if she will still be eating at the Dew Hall at noon. The Empress can prepare.”
Looking back at Li Shimin who was sitting behind the golden table, Wang De said,"Wait outside now. I'll let you know when there's a result.”
"Here." The chamberlain responded in a low voice and turned to leave.
……
"Wang De, the people around the Empress are here?”Li Shiming finally put down the memorial in his hand and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Empress sent someone to say that Princess Jin Yang has returned to the palace. She wants to ask if Your Majesty will go to the Dew Hall for lunch at noon.”
"Let's go, let's go to the Dew Hall!"
"Here!"
"Your Majesty, welcome to the Dew Palace!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Guanyin maid, what are you doing?”Li Shi Min helped Zhangsun Wugou, who was waiting at the entrance of the Dew Hall, up and said in a slightly reproachful tone.
"Father." Beside him, Li Mingda and Li Lizhi also came over to greet him.
"Hahaha, get up, get up.”
After waking up his precious daughter, Li Shiming held Zhangsun Wugou's hand and entered the hall.
After sitting down in the hall, Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda and asked,""Didn't Si Zi say that he would be back a few days ago? Why are you only back now?"
"Father, your son's cultivation reached a critical point, so I went into seclusion for a few days. Now, your son has already broken through to the Tendon Transformation Realm.”
"Is that so?"
Li Shi Min was delighted and activated his spiritual mind. As expected, he could feel the changes in his precious daughter's blood essence.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect our Si Zi to be a martial arts genius. Good, very good!”
"Thank you for your praise, Imperial Father." Li Mingda smiled happily.
"Hmph, Imperial Father is biased." Li Lizhi was unhappy.
"Oh? Why is Imperial Father biased?" Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi and smiled.
He liked the feeling of having children. This feeling allowed him to put aside the matters of the imperial court and enjoy the warmth between father and daughter.
"Back then, when your son broke through, Imperial Father had never seen him so happy.”
His daughter was not satisfied and pouted. Li Shiming naturally comforted her.
"Happy, everyone is happy. At that time, didn't Imperial Father give you something? Don't you remember?"
"Hehe, why don't I remember?"
Looking at the mischievous Li Lizhi, Li Shiming smiled and tapped her forehead, then ordered her to eat.
After lunch, Li Mingda and Li Lizhi left.
"Second Brother, I saw that you were frowning just now. Is there something bothering you?”Zhangsun Wugou poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Shimin.
"Yes." Nodding, Li Shi Min sighed and said,"More than twenty ministers reported that King Jing had hidden tens of thousands of weapons and armor, and that he had disloyal intentions.”
"Do these ministers have nothing to do every day? Such a person with ulterior motives should be killed!”Zhangsun Wugou's expression changed as he heard Li Shiming's words.
"Guanyin maid, don't be angry. This matter isn't that simple.”Li Shiming gently patted Zhangsun Wugou's hand and smiled.
"There's someone behind these people?" Zhangsun Wugou frowned.
"Yes, among them, there are a few people who are from the Crown Prince and the King of Wei. The other people were from the King of Shu, King Qi, and King Wu. There were also some people who had various clans backing them.”
"What are they trying to do?"
Hearing that the Crown Prince and the others were also involved, Zhangsun Wugou's expression changed again.
"The crown prince and the others are just feeling the pressure. However, it was different for those ministers who had aristocratic families backing them.”
Hearing that Li Shiming didn't think too highly of the Crown Prince, Zhangsun Wugou heaved a sigh of relief and changed the topic to the aristocratic families.
"These aristocratic families are too restless!"
"Yes, they are a little restless. Recently, he had been thinking of extending his hand into the imperial court's army!”
"What?" Zhangsun Wugou was really shocked this time.
The Great Tang's army was divided into the Sixteen Guards and the various Zhechong Prefectures.
The troops of Zhechong Manor ranged from thousands to nearly ten thousand.
The Sixteenth Guard General's Residence controlled the armies of the world but didn't actually control them.
Thus, the situation of the local army and the 16 guards of the Divine Capital restraining each other was formed.
The border army was an independent system, between the Sixteen Guards and the local army.
Generally speaking, each aristocratic family would have a great influence on the local Zhe Chong House. Li Shiming knew this, but only the top aristocratic families had the right to interfere.
He could only turn a blind eye to it.
But now, there was actually an aristocratic family who wanted to interfere with the border army and the Sixteen Guards. This was something he could not tolerate.
"A minister wrote a letter saying that King Jing has disloyal intentions and should be summoned back to the capital and sent a general to lead the North Manor Army.”
"Humph, they want to take control of White Cloud City on behalf of King Jing.”Zhangsun Wugou was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
"Their meaning is very obvious. The ministers who submitted the proposal, in order to avoid suspicion, even recommended my people and I recommended yours. Do they really think I am a fool?”
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. These fellows will be expelled from the court sooner or later. "However, I'll also call Gao Ming and the others over and give them a good beating.”
Zhangsun Wugou, who understood Li Er very well, did not avoid the matter of Li Chengqian and the others after agreeing. He took the initiative to mention it.
"With Guanyin Nv here, Zhen is truly at ease.”Li Shiming turned to Zhangsun Wugou and said with a smile.
"We are husband and wife. These children are troublesome. As the mother, I naturally have to talk to them.”
"En, then I'll leave this matter to you. Zhen won't let you worry about the matters of the court.”Li Shi Min nodded.
"Your Majesty, don't say that. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Wugou can only help you with this.”Zhangsun Wugou shook his head and smiled.
"It's already very good."
After chatting for a while, Li Shimin left.
Following that, Zhangsun Wugou also issued an edict to have the princes and crown prince who participated in the petition come to the Dew Palace.
Outside the Dew Palace, Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the other princes were all kneeling on the ground. Inside the hall, Concubine Yang and the others who had heard the news were being educated by Zhangsun Wugou.
Although Zhangsun Wugou usually had a gentle and gentle appearance.
But when she really took on the stance of the harem master, even Concubine Yang did not dare to stab her in the face.
