Man Tanghong

Chapter 4
"Your Highness..."

Liu Jun stood in front of Bao Huan, made a gesture of invitation, and walked up the stone steps first.

Li Yuanji adjusted his mood, raised his head, and walked up the stone steps with arrogant steps.

Li Yuanji also wanted to keep a low profile, but his predecessor's personality didn't allow it. His predecessor was usually unscrupulous in front of Li Yuan. If he kept a low profile, it would be easier for others to see his flaws.

Climbing up the steps all the way to the gate of the hall, I saw four rows of eunuchs, female officials, eunuchs, maidservants, door maids, dancers, painters, etc., shivering in the cold wind, but Don't dare to act rashly.

Whenever Li Yuan ordered anything, they had to appear in the hall immediately to serve.

If there is a slight mistake, it will be a heavy fine.

When Li Yuanji walked to the entrance of the hall, he heard Li Yuan's sad voice coming from inside the hall.

"Erlang, I heard that you have recruited a lot of counselors and warriors recently. The prestige of your Qin Palace is almost catching up with mine."

"Father, all the ministers are bestowed by the father, and the counselors and warriors of the sons are naturally also the counselors and warriors of the father."

Li Shimin heard that Li Yuan's tone was not kind, and he also heard that Li Yuan was complaining about him, so he hurriedly explained.

Li Shimin's voice is thick and powerful, full of air, giving people the feeling that a decent person is speaking.

Li Yuanji heard that Li Yuan meant to find fault with Li Shimin, so he was not in a hurry to go in. Liu Jun, who led the way for Li Yuanji, also guarded the gate of the hall, and did not intend to go in to tell Li Jitong.

This is wink.

When Li Yuan was making a fuss, if you broke in and interrupted, wouldn't that make Li Yuan feel uncomfortable?

"Okay, good, your counselor and warrior is my counselor and warrior."

Li Yuan praised loudly, and before Li Shimin could reply, Li Yuan asked, "Since that's the case, why did they ignore the rules and regulations I set? A small county town dares to ride a horse from the gate of a prince's mansion." But, who gave him the courage?"

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Li Yuan established a system of etiquette. When a low-ranking official met a high-ranking official on the road, he should dismount and get off his sedan chair to show courtesy.

Li Yuanji thought about it for a while, and roughly understood what was going on.

The "little county" Li Yuan mentioned should be Du Ruhui, and the prince of the country should be Yin Ashu.

Yin Ashu told him before that he had found an excuse to beat Du Ruhui. The excuse should be that Du Ruhui violated the rules of etiquette by driving his horse past Yin's mansion.

Du Ruhui violated the etiquette first, no wonder Yin Ashu dared to kill him.

Li Yuanji thought Yin Ashu was stupid before, but now it seems that he is a bit clever.

He knew that being reasonable would not forgive others, and he also knew that he was not Li Shimin's opponent, so he had to ask Li Yuan to stand up for him.

It's just that cleverness is cleverness after all.

It is impossible for Li Yuan to do anything to Li Shimin for him, but he will definitely kill him for Li Shimin.

"Father, there is a reason why Counselor Du rode past Yin's mansion..."

Li Shimin defended Du Ruhui, but before he finished speaking, Li Yuan shouted rudely: "There is a reason for everything, I can see that he is relying on your support, and he doesn't pay attention to the etiquette system I set."

Li Shimin was taken aback and fell silent.

Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows, Li Yuan didn't seem to intend to let Li Shimin go easily.

If Li Yuan characterized this matter as a grievance between Du Ruhui and Yin Ashu, then at most he would reprimand Li Shimin and punish Du Ruhui's salary by the way.

But now Li Yuan is talking about himself, obviously wanting to expand the matter.

What is the difference between not paying attention to the etiquette system set by Li Yuan and not paying attention to Li Yuan?
"Father, Counselor Du has already had a finger broken by Yin Jianmen. He has already received the punishment he deserves. Will father punish him again?"

Li Shimin spoke suddenly, speaking in a heavy voice.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then thoughtfully said: "Jian Yin discounted Du Ruhui's finger..."

Yin Ashu concealed something from Li Yuan, and also concealed something from Li Yuanji.

After Li Yuanji learned that Yin Ashu had concealed Li Yuan, he pricked up his ears and listened quietly to Li Yuan's reaction.

"Do you think Du Ruhui was wronged when a finger was discounted? He violated the etiquette system I set, and Yin Jianmen took action out of righteousness. Is it wrong?

In your opinion, is it the etiquette system I set that is important, or Du Ruhui's one finger? "

Li Yuan suddenly raised his voice a few degrees, and asked sharply.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, the etiquette system set by my father is important."

Li Yuan snorted, "Then I'll fine you three months' salary, that's all, Du Ruhui's official, you won't object?"

Li Shimin fell silent again.

Li Yuanji realized something through the reactions of Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

A Yin Ashu, a small problem that violates the etiquette system, is not worthy of Li Yuan's embarrassment to Li Shimin.

The reason why Li Yuan made such a big fuss was obviously taking the opportunity to beat Li Shimin.

If Li Yuanji's guess is correct, the reason why Li Yuan beat Li Shimin should be related to the Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall that Li Shimin established recently.

Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion and Xiuwen Hall had just been established for more than a month, and had recruited hundreds of counselors and warriors. Li Yuan felt threatened, so he took the opportunity to beat Li Shimin.

Li Shimin also saw this, so when Li Yuan said that he would fine his salary and dismiss Du Ruhui as an official, he responded with silence.

But silence can only be dealt with for a while, not forever.

Let's see how Li Yuan forced Li Shimin to speak, and how Li Shimin should respond.

Li Yuanji really wanted to see how this eternal emperor, known as the king of kings, passed Li Yuan's level.

While Li Yuanji was quietly waiting for Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son to continue their play, Liu Jun bent over and hurried into the Liangyi Hall.

Li Yuanji's eyes straightened.

I'll go, you belong to Li Shimin, right? !
Don't you just go to Tongchuan at this time to help Li Shimin break the situation? !

"Everyone, His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived..."

"Xuan!"

"..."

Li Yuanji entered the Liangyi Hall cursing in his heart.

Liangyi Hall is very large, several times larger than the main hall of Wude Hall.

Four rows of crane-stem candles are lit in the hall, leading from the entrance of the hall to under the emperor's throne.

Li Yuan wore a Yuan crown on his head, dressed in bright red casual clothes, and sat on his exclusive emperor's throne with a big belly.

The 56-year-old Li Yuan's face is not the least bit old, but rosy, looking like a well-maintained rich man.

On the right side of His Majesty, Li Shimin, wearing a martial crown and black uniform, sat kneeling behind the long table, with his back straight.

Li Shimin has a handsome face, a tall figure, and a vigor all over his body.

On His Majesty's left, there was an empty long table full of wine and vegetables, and Yin Ashu knelt behind the second long table, pretending to be pitiful.

Liu Jun bent over and stood at His Majesty, and ten other maidservants, sitting on both sides of the long bench, bowed their heads, serving people.

Li Yuanji originally thought that there were only Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Liu Jun, and Yin Ashu in the hall, but when he walked up to Li Yuan, he discovered that there was an old drunk lying behind the empty space on Li Yuan's left.

Li Yuanji knew who he was without guessing.

It must be Li Yuan's most trusted Shangshu Youpushe and Wei Guogong Pei Ji.

He is the only one who can stay overnight in the palace and eat, drink and have fun with Li Yuan.

Li Yuanji walked up to Li Yuan and bowed, "Father..."

Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji and snorted coldly.

Li Yuanji straightened up. On the way to Liangyi Hall, he carefully recalled how his predecessor behaved in front of Li Yuan on weekdays.

He knew exactly what to do in this situation.

Li Yuanji stepped towards Yin Ashu, and he just kicked his leg under Yin Ashu's terrified gaze.

Yin Ashu screamed, rolled out, and rolled twice before stopping.

Li Yuanji jumped over the long distance, chasing Yin Ashu, ready to continue to kill, and scolded while chasing, "You dog, you also deserve to accuse me of being nasty, are you tired of life?!"

"Bold! Presumptuous!"

Li Yuan stood up from the throne angrily, pointed at Li Yuanji and reprimanded him angrily.

Li Yuanji turned a deaf ear, threw himself in front of Yin Ashu, grabbed Yin Ashu by the collar, and punched him twice.

Li Yuanji used the body of his predecessor, and also inherited his strength and martial arts, with a little change in the middle.

With two punches, Yin Ashu's small body couldn't stand it at all, and his two front teeth were knocked out immediately, and he yelled at Li Yuan with blood in his mouth.

Li Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't let Qianniu at the gate of the hall prepare himself to pull Li Yuanji away, and he didn't let Li Shimin stop Li Yuanji from committing crimes, but kept shouting words like 'presumptuous' and 'bold'.

Li Yuanji originally wanted to hit Yin Ashu twice, but Li Yuan didn't want anyone to pull him away, so he could only continue to kill him.

Li Yuanji beat Yin Ashu several times, and it wasn't until Yin Ashu's cries of being beaten became quieter that Li Yuan glared at Li Shimin and shouted angrily, "Stop him!"

Li Shimin said blankly: "I can't beat..."

"you!"

Li Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Su guard?!"

Li Yuan roared towards the outside of the hall.

The Qianniu Beishen outside the hall rushed into the hall and pulled Li Yuanji away.

Li Yuanji greeted them a few times and struggled a few times in a symbolic sense.

After being pulled away by Qianniu Beishen, he threatened Yin Ashu who was lying on the ground crying, "You wait for me, and I will kill you sooner or later."

Li Yuan left the throne in a hurry, walked up to Li Yuanji and scolded, "You rebellious son, what do you want to do? Do you still see me in your eyes if you commit murder in front of me?"

Li Yuanji did not show any weakness, and said with staring eyes: "Father is going to punish me for a small prison?"

Li Yuan stared and shouted: "He is the head of the country, the prince of the country, not some small prison gate! You lost your dignity in front of the palace and beat up a head of the country, what should you do?!"

As soon as Li Yuan said this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up instantly.

Li Yuanji was also very happy.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Pei Ji, who was lying on the ground pretending to be drunk, suddenly got up and coughed loudly.

Li Yuan immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing.

Although Yin Ashu's daughter is a noble concubine, and his grandson is a prince, Yin Ashu can't afford to be the head of the country.

Unless Li Yuan makes Concubine Yin De his queen, there will always be only one head of state, and that is the father of the late Empress Dou.
