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

"Father, calm down, isn't this also to save Li Junxian?

Er was also afraid that Aye might kill Li Junxian by mistake, which might affect Aye's prestige.

It is also easy to be misunderstood by future generations.”

Li Shen saw his old family rules and hurried to explain.

"Calm down? There are so many ways, but you chose the most ridiculous and complicated one. Do you still want me to calm down?

If I don't teach you a lesson, won't you become even worse and do more evil in the future?

I will enforce the family rules of my Li family today. Let you, the rebellious son... "

Li Shimin's anger had reached its peak.

Li Shen already felt that his father was about to use his ultimate move.

While his father was still talking, Li Shen stood up, turned around and ran.

While running, he shouted:

"Aye, this matter cannot be blamed on me alone.

My eldest brother is also involved in this.

He is the instigator of this matter, and I am just an executor. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shen had already run out of the pavilion.

"Old Ten! Stop talking nonsense, I know nothing about this matter.

Aye, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Li Chengqian quickly stood up and explained.

"How is it not related? They asked me to save Li Junxian because of your will. And in the court, weren't you very cooperative?"

Li Shen shouted from a distance.

"Hmm? Is what he said true?"

Li Shimin immediately turned his head and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Aye...Aye, um, it was I who asked Duke Lu to look for my junior brother... Oops."

"Snapped!!"

Before Li Chengqian could finish his words, Li Shimin swung the ruler and hit Li Chengqian on the buttocks.

The sound was so loud that Li Shen felt the flesh on his buttocks tremble when he heard it.

"Zhazha, it hurts just listening to it." Li Shen was shocked in the distance.

"Father, I just asked them to ask for mercy from the tenth brother. The other sons don't know about it."

This was the second time Li Chengqian got beaten because of Li Shen.

From childhood to adulthood, he was rarely beaten by Li Shimin, who usually just scolded or punished him.

But I don’t know when Li Shimin started to like beating his son.

"Humph, you don't know? I've been eavesdropping for a long time in the back of the hall. You and these two rebellious sons have cooperated well.

In the end you still want to kill him, is it to force me to come out?

He was fooling around, and you, as the crown prince, actually joined him in fooling around. Both of you will be punished."

"Snapped!!"

"what!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Aren't you two brothers on good terms? Then beat them together."

This time, although Li Chengqian was prepared, the summer clothes were thin to begin with, and Li Shimin did not hold back.

Li Chengqian was hit hard and felt a burning pain in his buttocks.

"Hiss~~~~"

Li Shen, who was watching from a distance, took a deep breath and said, "Oh my god, it really hurts!"

"Brother, run, why don't you run?"

Li Shen reminded loudly from a distance.

"I'll see where you run."

After hearing what Li Shen said, Li Shimin grabbed Li Chengqian by the back of the collar and slapped him several times.

Li Chengqian wanted to cry but had no tears, as he had never intended to run away.

He is different from Li Shen. His ideas are feudal, and he must accept his father's teachings.

He did not have the courage of Li Shen, who would run away when he saw the situation was not good. Although he could not escape from his control every time, at least he had tried.

"Father, my brother is the crown prince and will be attending court tomorrow, so please don't slap him in the face."

"Clap!"

"As a prince, you actually treat the court as a joke, which is an even greater crime."

"Aye, my elder brother just asked Duke Lu and the others to ask me for help."

"Clap!"

"As a prince, he actually encouraged others to seek help from others. He has no sense of responsibility and questioned his king and father. His crime is even more serious."

"Brother, you are just going to stand still and take the beating. Put up a fight."

"What? You dare to resist me? Do you want to kill the king? Your crime is even more serious."

"Bah bang bang!!"

"Aye..."

"Old Ten, stop talking!!!"

Li Chengqian cried and shouted to Li Shen who was watching the excitement from a distance.

"Uh~~~Okay, I wanted to plead for you, big brother. Since you won't let me speak, forget it."

Li Shen said embarrassedly.

"Plead for mercy? You can't even protect yourself, and you're still begging for mercy for others. You should think about yourself."

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Li Shen, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Li Shen.

"Oh my god~~~~"

Li Shen yelled, turned around and ran. He was not running blindly, he had a purpose, and the direction he ran was exactly towards the Lizheng Hall.

He was looking for various obstacles to run away from. Li Shimin was old and his movements were definitely not as flexible as before.

Li Shen’s training in the past few months was not in vain. He can’t outrun Li Chengqian, and he can’t outrun an old man like you?

"Look, isn't that His Royal Highness Prince Ji?"

"It looks like that. Why is he running? This is the imperial palace. Even if he is a prince, he is not allowed to run around."

"Oh my god, is His Majesty chasing us? His Majesty is actually chasing Prince Ji."

Several eunuchs and palace maids were all shocked when they saw this scene from a distance. His Majesty was chasing Prince Ji with something in his hand.

And Prince Ji actually dared to run away? Not to mention trespassing in the forbidden palace, the mere act of insubordination was enough to get him killed a hundred times.

Who dares to run away when Your Majesty hits someone? Don’t you want to live?

"What are you talking about? You are making a fuss. Remember, if you want to live longer in this forbidden palace, you should keep your mouth and eyes under control.

Don’t say what you shouldn’t say, and don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at. Even if you see something, pretend that you are blind and saw nothing.

This is the only way for you to survive in this forbidden palace. Do you understand?"

At this time, an official who had been in the palace for many years spoke behind his back.

"Yes, eunuch. Thank you for your reminder. I will remember it."

These eunuchs and palace maids who must have just entered the palace quickly turned around and saluted.

The eunuch who was speaking was the chief eunuch in the palace. He had been in the palace for many years, and he was already accustomed to the love-hate relationship between Prince Ji and Your Majesty.

Prince Ji is the only one who has been favored by His Majesty. Since he left the palace at a young age, only Prince Ji can enter the palace at will.

Moreover, Prince Ji has never followed the rules since he was young.

In the eyes of these old people, it was normal for Prince Ji to do anything out of line in the palace.

The fact that Prince Ji dared to bribe the chief steward of His Majesty speaks for itself.

If this was an outsider, Your Majesty would have found a reason to kill him long ago.

But the chief steward is not only a good person, but I heard that his room is full of good things. He has everything that His Majesty has.

Each one is a rare item and priceless, and even ten years' salary could not buy them all.

The eunuch in charge of Daji Hall has a higher status in the palace than those in the eunuch department.

When he goes out to do business, he is arrogant and no one dares to offend him. The main reason is that he comes from Daji Palace and is well-protected by the chief steward Wang De.

(The eunuch here is the name of an official position, because there were many bureaus and eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty harem.

The person in charge of a prison is called a eunuch.

This is also the origin of eunuchs in later dynasties, which changed from an official position to a profession.)
