Datang Nongwang

Chapter 4 Punishment and Guilt

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you mess with that eldest grandson Yan again? Don't you know that his father is the current Duke of Qi? It's all right now, the Holy One will definitely send someone over to arrest you Wake up." On the morning of the second day, Li Chongyuan's three elder brothers ran to Li Chongyuan's house and scolded him.

"What's wrong with Duke Qi? Even if he is the emperor's brother-in-law, does his son beat me for nothing? Could it be that I can't beat him back? What the hell is this?" Li Chongyuan saw that the three brothers were blaming him. But there was still worry and tension in his eyes.

In any case, a brother is a brother after all.

Even if they are only half-brothers, after the death of their father, these three elder brothers can be regarded as qualified.

There is no such thing as other families where the legitimate son bullies the concubine's younger brother.

For Li Chongyuan, this was quite gratifying.

"Hey, fourth brother, it's fine if you hit him, but you forced that eldest grandson Yan to kneel down, which was too much. If the Duke of Qi sued you to the Holy Lord, you might suffer." Li Chongyuan's second brother Li Chongxuan shook his head and said helplessly.

"If he doesn't sue, I will sue." Li Chongyuan is not afraid of suing.

I was beaten into a coma by Li Shimin's son for a month before waking up. Could it be that I have suffered this month for nothing?This is not in line with Li Chongyuan's temperament, nor is it in line with Li Chongyuan's temperament of revenge.

"Forget it, the big deal is that the four of us will take care of it together." Li Chongji, Li Chongyuan's eldest brother, sighed secretly.

As the boss, he naturally has to take some responsibility.

The elder brother is the father, he knows this truth better than anyone else.

Before Li Gui died, there was a suicide note.

It can be said in the suicide note that if Li Chongji doesn't treat these younger brothers well, he will not let him go even if he is a ghost.

Scholars naturally value these things, so Li Chongyuan, a bastard, lived a comfortable life.

Li Chongji had just decided that his brothers would bear the burden together when the porter rushed towards the backyard with a servant and palace servants.

"Li Chongyuan, the sage ordered you to go face the sage immediately." As soon as the servant arrived, without waiting for the four brothers to speak, he revealed the purpose of his visit this time.

"Mr. Dai, do you know why the sage asked my fourth brother to meet the sage?" Li Chongji asked respectfully when he saw that the visitor was also an acquaintance.

"Li Yushi, I don't know about this, but I saw Qi Guogong take his eldest grandson Yan to see the Holy Majesty, and the young minister of Dali Temple also went." The servant in the hall responded with a smile.

Li Chongji has a good relationship with this waiter Dai.

After all, Li Chongji is the censor of this palace, and he also does business in this palace on weekdays, and he is very familiar with the servants in this palace.

Therefore, Dai's servant revealed some news.

"Thank you, Maid Dai, fourth younger brother. Go with Maid Dai. When you see the Holy Majesty, you must be respectful. Don't be like this." Li Chongji also knew that the Holy Majesty wanted to see his fourth brother after listening to Dai Majesty. Because of what happened yesterday.

Li Chongyuan nodded, but didn't reply, followed Dai Neishi out of the house and went straight to Gongcheng.

"Brother, let's go to see the Holy Majesty together. The fourth brother is going to see the Holy Majesty. I don't know if the fourth brother will cause any trouble." Li Chongxuan knows him well as the fourth brother, so he is afraid that Li Chongyuan will see the Holy Majesty again. Finally, he said something wrong and caused a big mess.

"Okay, let's go together." Li Chongji replied.

It's not so easy to see the Holy One.

It is basically impossible for the three brothers to think about going to see the Holy One without being summoned.

If it was a Duke or something, or an important minister, it would be easy, but Li Chongji and the others, the biggest one is just a palace censor.

It was also rare for him, Li Chongji, to see the Holy One when it was not a court meeting.

At this time, in the Xiande Hall, Li Shimin was sitting at the top, looking coldly at Li Chongyuan below, "Li Chongyuan, tell me, why did you beat Changsun Yan and the others?"

Li Shimin's angry shout made Li Chongyuan's eardrums buzz on the spot.

Although Li Chongyuan has also met the current emperor Li Shimin, he is not like this on weekdays, but today, he seems very angry.

Although Li Chongyuan was not afraid, he knelt down because of the pain he suffered for that month, and began to cry: "My lord, you have to be the master for me. This eldest Sun Yan beat me again and again in the Chongwen Hall. Yesterday, I even beat my cousin Chongzhen until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, I couldn't be more angry, so I beat my grandson Yan."

Li Chongyuan's kneeling directly shocked Li Shimin, as well as Qi Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji, eldest Sun Yan, and the young minister of Dali Temple who were standing aside.

Kneeling was not popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor didn't like other people kneeling.

Seeing Li Chongyuan like this, Li Shimin's nose was dripping with snot, and a trace of pity began to flash in his eyes.

"You fart, when did I beat you in the Chongwen Museum? You are talking nonsense, talking nonsense." Chang Sunyan didn't expect that Li Chongyuan was so shameless, he could just kneel down, and it was the villain who complained first, and he was furious. He accused Li Chongyuan in front of the Holy Majesty.

"Your Majesty, two months ago, the crown prince and grandson Yan beat me into a coma for a month. If it wasn't for my fate, I might have met my father now. I'm so pitiful. Without my father, I will suffer even more. People beat me, the crown prince beat me, that's my subject's fault, but his eldest grandson beat me, that's bullying me without the protection of my elders." Li Chongyuan didn't care anymore at this moment, and began to sue with tears Come on, even pretending to be pitiful.

Of course Li Shimin knew what happened to Li Chongyuan two months ago.

Moreover, he also knew that his son beat Li Chongyuan into a coma.

As a father, he didn't think much of it when his son beat someone else, but it was too much for the crown prince to beat a courtier.

What's more, he was beaten into a coma for a month. Fortunately, it was only a matter of the clan. If it was replaced by another person, it is estimated that the civil servants in the court could make this matter known to the whole world.

"I know that you have been wronged. It is indeed Gao Ming's fault that you have been in a coma for a month. I will ask him to come to your door tomorrow to tell you what's wrong. Qi Guogong, Lu Aiqing, Changsun Yan and the others will end here." Li Shimin listened to Li Chongyuan's words. His father carried them out and hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Carrying out the father who has been dead for many years clearly means that there are no elders around and he is being bullied by others.

And it was still pointing directly at him, the emperor, and at the same time pointing directly at Sun Wuji, Duke of Qi and the others.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji got what Li Shimin said, and knew that it was impossible to pursue this matter any further.

Originally, Li Chongyuan's father, Li Gui, was a colleague of Li Chongyuan's court, and he was also a civil servant of the same line. Although his son's head was injured by Li Chongyuan, Li Chongyuan carried his father who had passed away for many years. Come out, what else can he say.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go back and discipline him properly." Changsun Wuji pulled the still calm Changsun Yan to salute Li Shimin and left, even the Shaoqing of Dali Temple had to leave.
