"Your…Your Majesty…It's not an internal conflict.”
The young eunuch was frightened by the cold aura coming from Li Shiming and stuttered,""It's…It's His Highness and the others…They ganged up on State Duke Ying's two young masters.”
The ministers who were just about to leave paused.
The situation had changed. Without His Majesty's orders, no one dared to act on their own.
"Try again!"
Li Shi Min coldly glanced at the young eunuch and ordered.
He was very curious as to why there was no internal strife among these unlucky children who exposed their family's dirty laundry.
To be more precise, he wanted to know what role his unlucky child played in this and how he did it.
Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brought a few people with them. They held wine glasses and smiled obsequiously as they went to the top floor that Li Ke had reserved.
"Your Highness Wu Wang, my brothers, I didn't know that everyone was here. I, Yuanqing, heard that my brothers were upstairs and specially came up to offer a toast to my brothers.”Wu Yuanqing smiled fawningly, his back slightly bent as he trotted to Li Ke.
His father, Samurai Shura, was dead.
Although he had inherited the title of Duke Ying, he did not have a prominent position in the court.
Not to mention Li Ke's noble identity.
He was also a Duke, but his status in Chang 'an was far inferior to Cheng Chumo and the others.
Even the younger generation of Earls who had real power in the imperial court were more prominent than him in Chang 'an.
Therefore, Wu Yuanqing wanted to use this opportunity to get along with Li Ke and the others, and pay attention to raising the status of State Duke Ying in Chang 'an.
"Your Highness, Yuanqing will toast you first.”Wu Yuanqing said fawningly.
Li Ke pressed down on Wu Yuanqing's hand and sneered,""All the brothers present here are like-minded people like me. Although we are the same and have received the support of our fathers, I am not willing to be associated with a bastard like you who chased his sister and aunt out of the house just after his father passed away!”
The smiles on the Wu brothers 'faces instantly turned awkward.
The reason why Yang shi and her sister were chased away was to prevent them from splitting the family property.
This matter had a bad influence on Chang 'an Fortress.
But that was what others said in private. Li Ke was the first person to bring this matter to the table.
"Your Highness…"
"Shut up!" Cheng Chumo grabbed Wu Yuanqing's collar from behind and lifted him up like a chicken.""Wu Yuanqing, do you know that if it wasn't for the sake of the late Duke Ying, I would have beaten you up long ago!”
"That's right, that Wu fellow is too unethical. He's disgraced us young dukes. He's simply a disgrace to us!”Wei Shuyu shouted angrily.
"Beat this bastard up!"
"Brothers, attack!"
"Listen to Your Highness, attack!"
……
Aiyo!
"Stop fighting. I'm the Duke, I'm the Duke!”
"I beg you, stop fighting!"
" Don't hit my face…Your Highness, I was wrong. Please forgive me, please forgive me…"
"Stop!" Li Ke shook his head and raised his hand to shout. Only then did everyone stop.
Wu Yuanqing and his brother's white brocade clothes were full of footprints, and their faces were covered in blood. They were hugging their heads and curled up.
Li Ke waved his hand and said in disgust," Get lost immediately. If you see this king in the future, take a detour three miles away. Otherwise, this king will beat you up every time I see you!"”
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness.”The Wu brothers scrambled to their feet.
"Get lost!"
"Don't let me, Qin Huaiyu, see you again in the future!”
……
"Who are you? Why aren't you getting lost?" Zhangsun Huan pointed at the person who was kneeling on the ground and following Wu Yuanqing and his brother upstairs.
"Your Highness, young dukes, I am Wang Huan from East Wood City, Fifth Street.”Wang Huan replied with a smile.
"You mean the Wang Huan who claimed to be your distant uncle and has a small gang in East Wood City?”Cheng Chumo seemed to know this person's name and asked.
It was a great honor to be recognized by Cheng Chumo. Wang Huan quickly said,"You're a villain, you're a villain."
"I heard that you're quite loyal. Why are you hanging out with Wu Yuanqing, a filthy person, and helping a tiger?”Cheng Chumo snorted.
Wang Huan smiled bitterly and said nothing.
He used Wang De's name, so he was indeed related to Wang De.
However, Wang De had never taken care of him, a distant relative. If he wanted to stay in Chang 'an for a long time, how could he not rely on the dignitaries?
Li Ke looked at this person's appearance and guessed it most likely.
"What's your purpose for staying?" he asked.”
"Your Highness, this lowly one is willing to serve Your Highness.”
Li Ke shook his head.”
"Your Highness, this lowly one has been wronged!" Wang Huan cried," I'm following Wu Yuanqing, and Wu Yuanqing has to earn money from me. I and my brothers have been starving for three days. Brother Wu Yuanqing is unhappy, and he has to be beaten up from time to time. I…"
Li Ke was amused.
Wasn't this just a replica of following her brother and starving nine times a day?
The reason why he asked was because he had the intention of taking it for himself.
However, he could not accept it personally.
This would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
He just wanted a group of people from all walks of life to help him keep an eye on Chang 'an.
He did not want to die without knowing how.
"Your Highness, why don't we become sworn brothers here?”Cheng Chuliang suddenly suggested.
"Right, become sworn brothers!"
"As long as Your Highness doesn't mind, we brothers will become sworn brothers here today!”
……
This idea was echoed by everyone.
Li Ke suddenly shivered and sobered up. He looked at Cheng Chuliang and said, How did this unlucky child know that I wanted to become sworn brothers? Could it be that the landlord's silly son actually saw through my thoughts?
"Chuliang, how did you think of becoming sworn brothers?”Li Ke asked curiously.
"This guy gave me a hint." Cheng Chuliang pointed at Wang Huan.
Li Ke was relieved. Under everyone's excited gazes, he pondered for a moment and said,"Alright, since all the brothers are willing to become sworn brothers, Li Ke is even more willing.”
"As Chang 'an, as the second generation of the Tang Empire's nobility, we have formed an alliance. There must be someone who is worthy of our obedience!”
"We became sworn brothers because we beat up Wu Yuanqing, that shameless bastard, with righteous indignation. Our decree is to reward the good and eliminate the evil.”
"From now on, we will be a beautiful scenery in Chang 'an. Because of our existence, Chang' an will not have darkness and will be even more beautiful!”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
……
"Alright, prepare the incense and candles.”Li Ke waved his hand and ordered. These trivial matters were handled by the steward of the prince's mansion.
Soon, Guan Yu and the table were set up.
Each of them had three incense sticks in their hands, and the bowl in front of them was filled with wine.
"Today, Li Ke and his brothers are sworn brothers. Gentlemen are friends, not for fame and fortune, but for a common goal: to reward good and eliminate evil. For the sake of light, we are not afraid of power, do not use power to suppress others, and do not fear our fathers.”
When the drunk young noble second generation heard Li Ke's last sentence, they all revealed excited expressions.
"Reward good and eliminate evil. Only for the sake of light, do not fear power, do not use power to suppress others, do not fear your parents, what joy is there in life, what fear is there in death!”
"Reward good and eliminate evil. For the sake of the light, do not fear power, do not use power to suppress others, do not fear your parents, what joy is there in life, what fear is there in death!”
……
"Ha!" When the voice fell, Li Ke raised his bowl and shouted.
"Cheers!"
"Ha!"
……
Haha...
Li Ke and the others raised their heads and laughed. With such a group as a cover, Wang Huan would not be too eye-catching if he was placed in this group.
Moreover, with this sworn relationship, he would be a wealthy and idle king in the future. He would at least have an additional layer of protection when he did what he wanted to do.
"Aren't I too smart?"
Li Ke looked at the people around him and was a little excited.
"Your Highness, should we give our group a resounding name?”Cheng Chumo suggested,"I've often heard the bandits from my family talk about how they were in the Green Forest."”
Li Ke thought of the oath he had just made and said in a mischievous manner,"How about Ming Cult? Light represents light."
"Alright, that's the name."
"I agree!"
……
Li Ke was pleased with himself. He would never have thought that this group of drunken, hot-blooded young nobles who had established the Ming Cult would have such a far-reaching impact on the Great Tang.
Tang Dynasty history records: Zhenguan nine years, drunk fairy tower, Wu Wang Xiao Ke, established Mingjiao, since the beginning of prosperity.
" Reporting, Your Highness and the young dukes have set up the Drunken Immortal Inn to burn incense, kowtow to Guan Yu, and become brothers. Call out…"
In Taiji Palace, the officials 'expressions changed.
Li Shi Min looked at the young eunuch and didn't dare to continue. He shouted,"Speak!"
"Your Highness, shout out…shout out…reward the good and eliminate the evil. For the sake of the light, do not fear power, do not use power to suppress others, do not fear the father's right, what joy is there in life, what fear is there in death!”
At the same time, the same letter arrived at the Eastern Palace and the Wei Residence.
