In Taiji Palace, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were both shocked.

"What? Dozens of Qianniu Guards plus you are still no match for that thief?!"

Li Shimin was so shocked that he stood up from the dragon throne, walked to Li You, and looked at him carefully, focusing on the dented armor on his chest.

The more he looked, the more frightened he was.

The Qianniu Guards were the most elite imperial guards in the palace, and their weapons and equipment were unique. Even the Xuanjia Army did not have such good equipment as the Qianniu Guards. Li You's general armor was made of fine iron!

This palm strike could make such a big dent, how strong was that thief?

"Your Majesty, it was my incompetence that allowed him to escape."

Li You knelt on the ground, covering his chest with his hands, and said with shame.

He felt a burning pain in his chest from time to time, the pain was unbearable, and at this moment he wanted to lie on the ground and gasp for air.

"It seems that this man is extremely powerful and is a fierce general of the time. Your Majesty has always been magnanimous and generous. He can even use people like Xue Wanche and Wei Zheng. Can't you tolerate this person?"

Empress Changsun walked to Li Shimin and comforted him.

Wei Zheng and Xue Wanche were both people of Li Jiancheng in the Eastern Palace. One of them had offered a plan to kill Li Shimin, and the other fought hard in the Xuanwu Gate coup and killed many soldiers and generals of the Qin Palace. However, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he put aside his past grudges and used them very much.

Therefore, using these two examples to comfort Li Shimin would have the best effect.

"Humph! He is quite sensible. He didn't kill any of my soldiers. He only gave me a superficial wound. It's just you, Li You, who is a little more serious. Go back and lie down. You will recover naturally in less than half a month!"

Li Shimin snorted lightly, looking quite arrogant. He raised his eyebrows and said,

"But this guy is too ignorant! Am I the kind of tyrant who kills people at the slightest disagreement? Guanyin, tell me, on what basis does he mock me, and on what basis does he hurt people and then just walk away!"

Li Shimin originally thought in his heart that he should catch this guy and see what kind of person he is. According to his experience, among those who are shameless, there are indeed a few who are capable.

If this person is really talented, he doesn't mind recruiting him and making important use of him. On the contrary, if he is a fool, it doesn't matter if he is killed. For him, there is no loss at all.

But he really didn't expect that this guy's fighting ability was so strong. He defeated dozens of imperial guards in a row and left in a chic manner. How could he not be furious when he heard this?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Maybe that person was afraid of your majesty's power and didn't want to go against you, so he just injured the imperial guards and fled for fear of punishment."

Empress Changsun saw that Li Shimin was still angry, so she had to continue to comfort him.

From her point of view, this person should have no ill intentions.

"Fleeing for fear of crime? In my opinion, you are undermining the dignity of our royal family! And those guys actually protected the criminal and let him go. They are so bold!"

Li Shimin blushed, stamped his feet, and ordered,

"Come, invite the four dukes, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Qiong, to gather at the Duke of E's mansion to see the good sons they have taught!"

These young men are used to being pampered and well-fed, and they should be punished. Their fathers should also be punished.

As the saying goes: If the son makes a mistake, the father will pay for it!

"This, Your Majesty……"

Empress Changsun cried out, and as she watched Li Shimin's back, which was gradually receding, she could only rub her temple helplessly.

This was really a farce!

Half an hour later, several dukes had already received the notice and hurried to the Duke of E's mansion. The four important ministers of the country arrived almost at the same time, standing together, looking at each other with trepidation.

"I heard that His Majesty was furious because of those guys? Who of you knows more? Come on and tell us, don't let my Chu Mo take the blame."

The burly Cheng Yaojin was the first to speak.

Now he has also learned to dress like a scholar, looking a little weird and funny, but don't be fooled by his appearance, under his rough behavior and words, there is a meticulous heart. This old Cheng is very smart.

"My Chong'er has always been well behaved and never does anything to offend the emperor. You can think about the rest by yourselves."

Changsun Wuji closed his eyes slightly and said calmly.

Compared with these generals, his figure was a little thin, but his calm and capable aura was extremely outstanding. He was worthy of being the first of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion and the future powerful minister.

"My Huaiyu is also a person who doesn't like to cause trouble, so I am relieved."

Qin Qiong also looked confident and said in a low voice.

He has been fighting for many years and has lost too much blood. His face is still a little pale. He is considered the weakest among the generals.

"I, my family's legacy, my legacy……"

Fang Xuanling, with some gray hair on his temples, murmured with a guilty conscience.

As the top strategist in the early Tang Dynasty, he had a son who made him extremely worried. According to historical records, the cuckolded king of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Yiai, and his wife, Princess Gaoyang, would rebel in the future...

I thought they had been quiet for a while, but I didn't expect that they were preparing a big move, causing a big incident, and angering the emperor!

"Oh! It was your Yiai who caused the trouble!"

The other three nodded in agreement. After the relationship was cleared up, they finally felt relieved. Only Fang Xuanling became more and more uneasy.

Could it be that Fang Yiai was the one causing the trouble?

"By the way, isn't there also Yuchi Baolin? This time His Majesty asked us to come to the Duke of E's Mansion, and it is obvious that he is the protagonist. It must be him who caused the trouble, and it has nothing to do with my Yiai!"

Fang Xuanling suddenly shouted, and his words were well-reasoned and well-founded, so that he believed it and smiled immediately on his face.

Well, now the relationship between the four of them can be cleared up. The one who committed the crime must be the kid of Yuchi Gong's family!

Yuchi Gong, lying on the sickbed:"???"

Are you bullying our Duke of E because he is a sick man and can’t lift a knife?

"Duke Zhao, Duke Lu, Duke Hu, Duke Liang, the four dukes are here!"

With the announcement of the housekeeper, the four people walked into the Duke E's mansion with smiles on their faces. However, as soon as they entered the door, the smiles on their faces had already solidified.

Because they saw that the five guys were already kneeling on the ground, and the person they were kneeling to was the current emperor, Li Shimin! Li

Shimin, who was wearing casual clothes, turned around and smiled at the four people, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said,

"My four beloved ministers, what are you talking about outside? Can you tell me?"

Changsun Wuji and others never dreamed that Li Shimin's speed was so fast that he actually got ahead of them!

Please give me flowers and votes, why does it feel like no one is watching...
