I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Just when everyone was stunned, Li Shen ran away.

But he was stopped at the palace gate and captured again.

Li Shen fought back, dodging left and right at the palace gate, using all his strength.

In the end, he was surrounded.

Four people carried Li Shen back.

"Let me go. How dare you do this? This is really treasonous and a violation of the law.

You are finished, wait and see how I will avenge you."

Even with four people carrying him, Li Shen continued to struggle and utter threats.

But the guards turned a deaf ear to it, as if they didn't hear it.

They are carrying out His Majesty's oral order. No matter who you are, it is not a problem to arrest you or even behead you.

If they didn't know that Prince Ji was His Majesty's favorite prince, why did it take them so long to capture him?

"Your Majesty has ordered that His Royal Highness Prince Ji be brought to the harem."

At this time, Wang De came towards him and immediately smiled when he saw Li Shen's expression.

"Yes, Steward Wang."

Several guards carried Li Shen towards the harem, with Wang De walking behind.

After Li Shen left, Li Shimin announced his retirement from court.

"Old Wang, Old Wang, tell them to put me down. How can they carry me like this?

Doesn’t the king have any dignity?

If others see this, how can I survive?"

While struggling, Li Shen looked up and shouted to Wang De behind him.

"Haha, my Lord, I dare not put you down, otherwise what will happen if you run away?

I am old and weak, but I cannot catch up with you."

Wang De had a smile on his face as he watched Li Shen struggle like an animal being carried to slaughter.

"Old Wang, you are not a good person either. You all just wait for me~~~~"

Li Shen was taken by Wang De to a pavilion in Beihai.

At this moment, Li Shimin and Crown Prince Li Chengqian were both present.

The father and son sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and admiring the scenery of the North Sea. The light breeze blew by, adding a unique flavor.

Li Shen walked into the pavilion with a sour face. Just as he arrived at the gate of the harem and the guards put him down, Wang De told him that he should either walk by himself or continue to be carried in.

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him, so Li Shen had no choice but to follow Wang De in obediently.

"My son has met Aye and met my elder brother."

Li Shen bowed listlessly and then sat down.

“Go get me a glass of iced juice. If you don’t have any, go to Daji Palace and ask for one.

I want to bring ice chips."

Li Shen was not shy and gave the order directly.

Wang De waved at a eunuch, and the eunuch ran out immediately.

Li Shen reached for the teapot and wanted to pour himself a cup of tea.

"Snapped!"

Li Shimin took out a ruler from somewhere and hit Li Shen on the back of his hand.

"Ouch!" Li Shen pulled his hand back and rubbed it with the other hand.

"Aye, what's going on?"

Li Shen asked aggrievedly.

"What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong.

Tell me, what did you do today?

Li Shimin shouted angrily.

"What did you do? I didn't do anything." Li Shen shook his head.

"You didn't do anything? You deliberately let the Li family impeach you in the hall today.

Then you deliberately admitted to treason. Why do you, Prince Ji, think that I am not worthy of being the emperor and want to do it yourself?"

Whenever Li Shimin thought of this matter, he felt his blood boiling. This rebellious son actually made a fool of his ministers.

He directed and acted in a good play there.

He played his subjects in the palm of his hand.

"No, no, absolutely not. I dare not. Father is wise and brave, extraordinary, virtuous and talented, both civil and military. It is destiny that makes you emperor."

Li Shen waved his hands repeatedly. This was a serious crime and he could not afford it.

"Huh, do you think I don't know?

You just wanted to save Li Junxian, why didn't you just tell me directly?

You have to make such a big fuss.

Why, do you think that if you tell me directly, I will ignore your advice and remain stubborn?

Why do you always make simple things so complicated?"

Li Shimin continued to ask with an angry look on his face.

Li Shen felt disdainful after hearing this. He thought, "You have already made up your mind, so what's the point of me begging for mercy?"

If it was useful, they would not have sentenced him to beheading without even conducting an investigation.

If I didn't make a fuss, how could Li Chunfeng ask for a new divination?

Li Shen knew clearly in his heart that his father would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.

It can be considered as Li Junxian's bad luck, because he has the unlucky nickname of Wu Niangzi.

Seeing that Li Shen was silent, Li Shimin continued:

"You think I don't know anything?

Humph, I have sent people to inquire. Around noon yesterday, the Duke of Wei, the Duke of E, and the Duke of Lu brought the boy from Li Junxian's family to your Prince Ji's mansion.

He stayed inside for half an hour before coming out.

Not long after you came out, you took Princess Ji and other family members to Hongfu Temple.

You deliberately framed Xuanzang, right?"

“You know all this?

No, I mean, how could I frame someone on purpose? I'm not that kind of person.

Besides, I have no grudge against Xuanzang, so why would I frame him?

As for Li Junxian, there was no other way. Aye was still brooding over what happened back then.

If the child hadn't made a big fuss, how could he...could he...?"

"How can you welcome me out?"

Before Li Shen finished speaking, Li Shimin continued.

"If I hadn't shown up today, would you have admitted your guilt? Treason is a serious crime, and would you have asked your elder brother to behead you?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Uncle Wang stand up and oppose it?"

Li Shen said weakly.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you are thinking.

The reason why you are fearless is because you think you are a prince, and even if you have to be beheaded, it is I who will decide.

Even if the prince agrees, he has no right to kill you."

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

This sentence really touched Li Shen's heart. This is exactly what Li Shen thought.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident and admit it directly in the hall.

The prince had no right to kill him, a prince, even if he had a reason, otherwise his uncle would have found a reason to kill his father.

How could he set an ambush at Xuanwu Gate, and was finally killed by his father.

"Hehe, Aye is very wise. Nothing can be hidden from Aye."

Li Shen chuckled and admitted it very openly. He had no choice but to admit it since everyone had guessed it.

"How dare you laugh? Look at what you did today. If I hadn't arrived in time, how would you have ended up?

And you actually admitted in public that you were planning a rebellion!

You are becoming more and more courageous. It seems that I haven't taught you a lesson for a long time since you came back from Qinghai Road.

You got into such a big trouble."

Li Shimin stood up as he spoke. Only then did Li Shen see clearly the ruler in Li Shimin's hand, which was the Li family's family rules from last time.
