Chapter 30: Stealing chicken but losing rice

"Brother Emperor, you have to make the decision for me. Li Xiang went too far. He cut off the hands of my subordinates in front of me, and also sent my friends to Luoyang. Going to Luoyang to be a eunuch..."

Kneeling in the main hall, Li Yuanchang was crying. Although he had already gone back and changed his clothes, the young eunuchs around him already knew what had just happened. They always felt that there was a special smell in the main hall.

When he saw the expressions of these people, Li Yuanchang wanted to go over and beat them to death. Of course, he didn't have the time to care about this now. The most important thing was to ask Li Shimin to issue an order, and at least to give Li Xiang a warning, otherwise after dawn tomorrow How do you live your life?

On the surface, Li Shimin was already feeling happy while reading the book. He wanted to reward Li Xiang for the things he had done. How could he still blame him?

Li Yuanchang, a boy with a special status, has been looking for trouble in recent years. He has secretly caused Li Shimin a lot of trouble. Even in Li Shimin's heart, if you hadn't bewitched him, Li Chengqian would never be like this.

So when Li Yuanchang suffers a loss, Li Shimin will not only help you regain your position, but if the situation allows, Li Shimin would like to kick you in the foot and sprinkle a layer of salt on your scars.

After listening to Li Yuanchang's words, he got the same news as Li Shimin, and he felt even more fond of this grandson.

But I still feel that this grandson is not decisive enough. Take the cousin Zhengxin, for example. After he was drowned and sent to Luoyang to be a eunuch, wouldn't that person still be alive?

So before Li Yuanchang came, Li Shimin had already sent out his men and killed them directly in the no-man's land between Chang'an and Luoyang. This is what a superior person should do.

Although Li Shimin preaches benevolent government every day, it is not enough for an emperor to be benevolent. Under certain necessary circumstances, he must be ruthless. Even if he kills ten people, as long as he can stabilize the rule of the Li Dynasty, then This has to be done.

"Finished?"

Li Yuanchang finally stopped talking, and Li Shimin put the book aside.

When Li Yuanchang heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong. He usually knew that Li Shimin hated him, so he didn't come to the hall often, but after such a big thing happened, Li Shimin was very concerned about face.

If a junior insults his elders like this, even if it is not at the national level, but at the level of our Li family, you have to punish this kid, but from these three words, he did not hear the meaning.

"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for my brother."

Li Yuanchang quickly knelt down and said that he was the emperor to win over the court, and that he was his younger brother was also to win over the family, putting pressure on Li Shimin from both sides.

"Making the decision for you? Do you still need me to make the decision for you in the things you have done these years?"

Li Shimin said sternly, "I usually can't find such an opportunity, but now there is no one else. There is at least three feet of frost on Li Shimin's face, and there is no smile at all."

Li Yuanchang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he came here by mistake today?

"Your Majesty, then Li Xiang..."

"He did the right thing. If it were me, I would just kill you with one knife. If he kills you, I will give him a more generous reward."

Li Shimin directly interrupted Li Yuanchang.

The two of them had a half-mother relationship. Although Li Shimin wanted to maintain his brother's love in front of outsiders, when they were only two people, Li Shimin made no secret of his disgust for Li Yuanchang.

In good conscience, who would be kind to his half-brother? Moreover, this younger brother also wanted to seize his throne. In addition, this younger brother also taught his most promising son bad and punished him with death for several crimes. Ten times is not enough.

Li Yuanchang looked at Li Shimin's stern face and felt a little regretful at this moment. It would be better not to come here and cry, at least it would be embarrassing, but now Li Shimin may have to punish himself. Does he know everything he has done in these years?

"emperor……"

Li Yuanchang said with some fear, not knowing what to say. This is what happens when bad people feel guilty.

"For the sake of my father, go back to your Han Palace. It's best not to cause any trouble. You can still enjoy the glory and wealth. But if something goes too far, don't blame me for not remembering the past. You should remember the relationship and Cheng Qian's affairs for me. I haven't settled it with you yet. You can deliver the six farms outside the city and three shops in the city to the East Palace tomorrow."

Li Shimin said without looking back. This voice hit Li Yuanchang's heart like a hammer, especially the last few words, which were substantial punishment.

The princes and ministers of the Tang Dynasty all had their own farms and shops, which were also their main source of income. Everyone could not live their lives relying on the little salary from the court.

Li Shimin's punishment was equivalent to confiscating one-third of the income of the Han Palace.

The most important thing is humiliation. Li Xiang humiliated himself at the gate of the East Palace and came here to complain. Instead of punishing Li Xiang, the emperor asked us to compensate one-third of our assets to Li Xiang. What does this show? It means that you have completely lost your status with the emperor. Your grandchildren have been humiliated. You have to suffer it well. I have to make amends to others afterwards.

The people in Chang'an City are all human beings. How can they not think about this matter? Once they have figured it out, they will know what kind of status the King of Han Li Yuanchang is. Apart from the empty title of a prince, I am afraid there is nothing left. In the past, there was the emperor's favor, but now it is all zero.

Although the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan is still alive, it is no longer the imperial court's business that the Supreme Emperor has not left the main gate in recent years. What's more, in addition to Li Yuanchang, the Supreme Emperor has many sons.

Even if the Emperor disposes of you, the Supreme Emperor will never fall out with the Emperor because of you.

"Your Majesty, do we have to move somewhere? The palace gate will be closed soon! The old slave is following the emperor's instructions to help the prince go through some complicated paperwork. Are we leaving now?"

Li Yuanchang didn't know how long he had been kneeling here when he suddenly heard the voice of the eunuch chief Wang De. Although this guy had a smile on his face, there was no trace of sympathy in his words.

Li Yuanchang glanced at the throne in the hall angrily, Li Shimin, you are so cruel!

Not only are you punishing me like this, but you also let the dog next to you watch. As Wang De is the chief eunuch, everyone pays attention to every move he makes. This is because he is afraid that I will be too embarrassed! !
