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

Li Shimin now wanted to strangle this rebellious son to death. He said so many words just waiting for this rebellious son to come.

Two days ago, Li Shen only told him that as long as it thundered and rained, he would be allowed to go to court the next day.

Li Shen will also come to court at that time.

He also vowed that everything would be left to him.

Today he waited and waited but the boy still didn't come. He even suspected that this rebellious son had overslept.

Especially when more than a dozen officials knelt before him and apologized, he was caught off guard.

Don't know what happened.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart, this rebellious son didn't even tell him the whole plan, what should he do with this?

Even the Crown Prince Li Chengqian standing by was stunned. He didn't know what was going on.

His father came to court today, and he only knew that his father seemed to be doing something again.

However, Li Shimin did not tell Li Chengqian what specific actions he would take.

He knew that these people were the ministers who submitted memorials a few days ago.

Could it be that his father did something to scare these people?

It was not until the outside world reported that Prince Ji Li Shen had come to see the emperor that Li Chengqian guessed that his father and brother must have joined forces to do something for him.

The purpose is to eliminate the impact of the lightning strike on the East Palace a few days ago, and I feel quite moved.

After receiving the summons, Li Shen walked slowly into the hall with square steps.

He did get up late, showered, changed his clothes, and came after dinner at home.

When all the officials saw more than a dozen officials kneeling on the ground to apologize, they were all a little puzzled and didn't know what had happened.

Your Majesty only mentioned it, and these people were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

But when the officials heard that Prince Ji Li Shen had arrived, they realized that His Majesty was attending the court in person today.

The Great Morning Hour was specially changed. Prince Ji came again at this time. It seems that something big is happening today.

When Li Shen entered the hall, everyone's eyes turned to Li Shen.

Li Shen didn't care at all. He held his head high and walked to the front. He didn't even glance at the official kneeling on the ground when he passed by him.

"I see your Majesty."

Li Shen bowed solemnly to Li Shimin.

"No gift."

With Li Shen's arrival, Li Shimin felt more at ease. No matter how Li Shen acted, at least he came.

If the noise gets too big, we'll just take him to the back and give him a beating.

"Prince Ji, what is the matter with you attending court today?"

Li Shimin had no expression on his face and asked the question even though he knew the answer.

"Your Majesty, I am here today to submit a memorial."

After saying this, Li Shen took out a memorial.

Wang De went downstairs and presented the memorial without any instructions.

Li Shimin did not look at it, but looked at Li Shen and listened to his next words.

"Your Majesty, last night there was a thunderstorm with lightning and thunder. In my dream, an immortal told me,

An evil spirit appeared in Chang'an, so God sent down a punishment to warn the world.

When I woke up this morning, I heard that fourteen houses in Chang'an were struck by lightning, and three of them caught fire.

That is why I hurried to the court to report to Your Majesty that this is a punishment from heaven, a warning to the world to prevent evil spirits from causing trouble."

"What!!"

As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, not only Li Shimin was shocked, but even the ministers present were extremely shocked.

The ministers were shocked that fourteen houses were struck by lightning last night.

This is much more shocking than the night when a family from the Eastern Palace was killed.

Moreover, King Ji's words sounded so miraculous, and the immortals also made it clear that there would be divine punishment from heaven to warn the world.

In other words, whoever's house is struck by lightning has an evil spirit in it.

It's really a good time for Prince Ji to submit a memorial at this time. This couldn't have been planned by him.

But thunder is not something that can be caused by human power.

Li Shimin was even more shocked. His son could actually control thunder?

But this is impossible. He has already concluded in his heart that this must have been done by his son.

Otherwise why tell him to go to court the day after it thunders and rains?

But he racked his brains but couldn't figure out how Li Shen controlled the thunder to bring down divine punishment.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, picked up the memorial handed to him by Li Shen, opened it and looked at it carefully.

There was nothing on it, it was just a fake memorial, but there was a piece of paper inside. After looking carefully, there were more than a dozen names written on it.

Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at the dozen people kneeling on the ground, then looked down at the list.

It seemed that I understood why these people knelt down and apologized so suddenly.

Since they said that it was a bad omen for the East Palace to be struck by lightning, what about them?

"Your Majesty, what Prince Ji said is a bit mysterious, and the guidance of the immortal is hard to believe.

The so-called appearance of evil spirits and divine punishment from heaven to warn the world, I think it is just a dream of His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

Unbelievable. "

At this moment, Chu Suiliang stood up to report.

“Yes, Your Majesty, although lightning strikes are uncommon, they are not rare either.

What His Royal Highness Prince Ji said about the appearance of evil spirits to warn the world is a little unbelievable and hard to believe. "

Gao Luxing also stood up.

After hearing this, Li Shen smiled and glanced at Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji felt Li Shen's gaze and also looked over at him.

However, Li Shen only took a glance, then retracted his gaze, bowed to Li Shimin and said:

"Your Majesty, the immortals have clearly stated that a demon has descended upon the world, so let's not discuss whether it is true or not.

But being struck by thunder is an ominous sign.

I don’t know whether it is a monster or not, but it must be an ominous sign, right?

What's more, how could there be so many coincidences in this world? Fourteen thunders fell overnight.

I have done so many bad things but was not struck by lightning, but it struck these fourteen families. Don’t you think there is a meaning behind this?”

Li Shen looked calm. You guys were struck by lightning anyway, isn't that unlucky? I will make it unlucky for all of you.

"My dear ministers, you must be very curious, whose house was struck by lightning?

Wang De, read it to you, my dear ministers. "

Li Shimin didn't say anything, but handed the memorial to Wang De. Wang De took it and saw that it was a list.

"The ones struck by lightning were: Censor Liu Yuanfu, Censor Wang Yikuifu, Censor..."

Every time Wang De read out a name, everyone looked towards the group kneeling in the middle.

Gradually, all officials realized that something was wrong. Why were the people kneeling in the middle the same group? Moreover, they were the same group of people who had submitted a memorial a few days ago saying that the Eastern Palace being struck by lightning was an ominous sign.

"The residence of Gao Jifu, the Minister of the Imperial Court."

"what!"

When Wang Denian mentioned Gao Ji Fu, everyone was surprised.

"And...Duke Zhao's Mansion."

"Wow~~~"

This caused an uproar.

"No way? Even the Zhaoguo Mansion was punished by God?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's just a thunderbolt that struck me. Keep your voice down."

"Duke Zhao's mansion was hacked down?"

There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
