Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1382 Begging for mercy
"Go and ask the emperor to let our family go." Li Qi looked up at the princess with tears in his eyes and said, "We can't let the child be without a father."

"Well, you didn't participate in the rebellion, I should be able to ask my father to let you go." The princess comforted him. She was the eldest daughter of the emperor and the most beloved daughter of Boss Zhu, so she had some confidence.

"Not only me, but also the Li family. At least we have to protect my father and the title of Duke of Korea! That is our son's family background!" Li Qi said again.

"I will naturally plead for my father-in-law." The princess thought for a moment and nodded, "But if my father doesn't agree, there is nothing I can do."

"Then go ask the Queen Mother for help!" Li Qi said anxiously, "Oh no, I mean, the Queen Mother's words are more effective."

"You know that our mother is in poor health. How can you let her worry about it anymore?" The princess shook her head.

"Yes, I don't want to disturb my mother unless it's absolutely necessary." Li Qi said tearfully, "But now is the last resort, Princess..."

After saying this, he hugged the princess and cried, which broke Lin'an's heart.

~~
What is Boss Zhu waiting for? Naturally, he is waiting for Li Shanchang and others to come and apologize.

In the end, he did not get what he wanted, but instead received many impeachments, all of which demanded severe punishment for Li Shanchang and others, as well as Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

These memorials have various angles of argument, but the main point is that treason and disrespect are both unforgivable crimes. They should all be executed without exception!

“Haha…” Zhu Yuanzhang threw the impeachment letter to the crown prince and sneered, “This is to tie the Fourth Master and Li Taishi together, and tell us to pardon them together or kill them together.”

"That's what I mean." The prince nodded. It was obvious to those people that Boss Zhu couldn't just talk about feelings with his son, but talk about national laws with them, the old brothers who helped him conquer the world.

That really doesn't make sense.

"But how can the Fourth Brother's affairs be the same as theirs?" The prince said angrily, "This is pure roguery!"

"Do they think they can deny their crimes?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"It seems that they are aiming at the amnesty." The prince said bluntly: "They want to take the opportunity to go ashore."

"Dream on, let them explain to us what the unforgivable crimes are." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "Even if we have to execute the fourth brother together with him, we won't let them succeed!"

"Father, this is not necessary, right? The matter of the fourth brother is over." The prince said hurriedly, "We are just waiting for the amnesty to release them all. Why make things more complicated?"

"Didn't you see them trying to get close to the fourth brother?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "We were thinking of our old friendship and wanted to give them a chance, but now they are still trying to resist. They are simply stubborn and insane. Ahem... "

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he couldn't help coughing violently. As he got older, his health was not as good as before. Not only did he have rheumatism, but he also had asthma.

"Father, calm down." Seeing his face turning purple, the prince quickly massaged his father's chest to help him calm down. It took him a while to calm down. "It's not worth it to damage the Holy Body because of these heartless and ungrateful people."

"Well said, they have been ruthless and disloyal to us for a long time." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Then there is no need for us to talk about friendship with them anymore."

Then he gave an order in a deep voice: "Pass the order, publish their impeachment to the whole world! Let the people of the world see that it is not me who wants them to die, but they brought about their own destruction!"

"Isn't the case of the fourth brother causing trouble again?" the prince said helplessly.

"Who made him commit such a serious crime?" Zhu Yuanzhang said gloomily, "That's why he was used as a general. If he is really executed in the end, it is his own fault and no one else can be blamed." The prince wanted to persuade him again, but Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, he hasn't finished his tricks yet. Wait until he finishes his performance."

"Oh, okay." The prince had to stop.

~~
Not long after the prince left, Eunuch Wu reported again: "Princess Lin'an has come to pay her respects to the emperor."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "Let her in quickly."

"Your son greets you, father." Lin'an, wearing a tasseled crown with a kingfisher phoenix and a shawl, walked into the hall and bowed to Boss Zhu.

"Lin'an is here?" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up to greet him with a smile. His sons did not have this treatment. "Hurry up and sit down. Have you seen the queen mother?"

"Not yet. We arrived at the Qianqing Palace first." Lin'an replied.

"Good." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. He picked up an orange from the fruit plate on the table, peeled it for his daughter and said, "You sound a little nasal. Did you catch a cold or cry?"

"My daughter is fine." Lin'an took the orange slices handed to him by his father with both hands and lowered his head.

"That's crying, did Li Qi provoke you?!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned and cursed: "Fuck you, he dared to make my daughter angry, let me see how I deal with him!"

"Don't, the prince consort didn't make my daughter angry." Lin An raised his head quickly, and said with tears in his eyes, "My daughter is just worried about him."

"..." Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately, sat up straight and asked, "Did that guy ask you to be a lobbyist?"

"No, I asked him because I saw he was worried." Lin An shook his head and said, "My daughter just found out that her father-in-law's family was involved in the conspiracy case back then..."

"Alas, silly girl, he did that on purpose to let you see it." Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not present at the time, he saw it with his own eyes. "He just wants you to plead for him."

"Father, your Majesty, said so, and I cannot refute it." Lin An bit his lower lip and said, "But we are husband and wife, and I cannot just stand by and watch you die."

"Well, this is human nature, father doesn't blame you." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to see his precious daughter sad, so he waved his hand and said, "Just live your life without worry, the prince consort will be fine."

"Thank you, father." Lin'an was so moved that tears filled his eyes and he quickly stood up and bowed.

"Sit down, why are you being so polite to your father?" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Your father arranged the marriage for you, so we must let you live happily together for the rest of your life."

"Father is so kind to Lin'an." Princess Lin'an burst into tears and said, "Then I will go back and let my husband rest assured that the Li family is fine."

"Don't misunderstand, my girl. We said that the prince consort will be fine, not the Li family." Zhu Yuanzhang reminded her.

"Ah?" Lin An was stunned for a moment and said, "The prince consort is the eldest son of the Li family. How can he be at peace when the Li family is in trouble?"

"We are showing extra mercy and forgiving the son-in-law Li Qi, not the eldest son of the Li family." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Tell the son-in-law to behave himself and regard himself as a son-in-law."
