Chapter 88: Wine kills the kings and feasts to suppress all souls
Because of Fang Chen's intervention, the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin in this life was not as bad as described in the future. It was even said that Li Yuan had accepted Li Shimin to continue to stay in this position.
But there is a hidden danger that they must face, and that is Li Yuan's many remaining imperial heirs, as well as some of Li Shimin's cousins.
Each of these fiefdoms is really quite big. Ever since Li Shimin ascended the throne, they have not had any peace of mind.
If they had refused to send troops, Li Shimin would not have been forced to the Wei River. He could not touch them before, but now he can finally pull out these damn Tang worms.
"I will give you a choice. Be a happy king in Chang'an!"
After that, Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, while Changsun Wugou was responsible for adding more wine to him.
The kings understood that this was not only an order to persuade them to surrender, but also an ultimatum.
What happened to Li Xiaochang before has made Li Shimin no longer trust them.
"Father, my brother is going to kill them all!" Li Yuan's eighth son, the King of Feng, Li Yuanheng.
"Your Majesty, I think this is impossible!" said Li Daoxing, the governor of Jiaozhou, the king of Guangning County, and the younger brother of Li Daozong.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision!" Li Boyi, Prince Gong of Longxi.
One by one, the clan members stood up, and of course there were exceptions, such as Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong. They were already serving in the court, had never rushed to the fiefdom, and had never thought of usurping the throne.
Li Yuanjing was determined to stand up, but when he saw Li Yuan's warning gaze, he couldn't help but shrink back.
"Emperor, Yuan Heng cannot be killed."
"Father, please rest assured, I understand!"
"Come here, except King Feng, take down everyone else!"
"No! Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"This will cause chaos in the world!"
"The Supreme Emperor, he is Li Shimin, the brother-murderer!"
"The Supreme Emperor..."
Twenty-six clan members were stained with blood in the palace. The only surviving King of Feng, Li Yuanheng, was so frightened that he sat on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
"Is there anyone still dissatisfied?"
Li Shimin asked again, and all the clan members knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Twenty-six corpses were dumped in one night, and this was just the beginning. Their blood relatives would also be implicated.
The royal family has no relatives. This position does not allow for any mistakes.
Before, he was shocked that Li Shimin had great love for the unknown person named Fang Chen, but now he was extremely afraid of this ruthless and cold-blooded emperor.
Fang Chen had just returned to Kunning Palace and was lying on the bed looking forward to the moment when he would meet his two "brothers".
"Why don't you prepare some gifts? It's definitely not good to be empty-handed!"
"Yes, a gift! Someone is here!"
Just as he lay down, he jumped up again and called a group of girls over to serve as a reference for him.
"I'm going to see my brother. What kind of gift do you think I should bring?"
Xuan San asked: "Master Yu, which highness do you want to see?"
"What Your Highness? I mean my brothers! Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu!"
Xuan San "......"
The twelve sisters are all trapped. You are the prince. Shouldn't your brothers be the prince and the others?
Oh, damn, I almost forgot, this man is still kept in the dark!
"Master Yu, would you like to bring something to eat?"
Fang Chen's eyes lit up, "Yes, but not enough!"
"Then...then bring them some more gold and silver?"
Fang Chen nodded again, "The jade, gold, and silver that Your Majesty and Your Majesty gave me will all be packed and sent over in a few days. Is there anything else I can give?"
The girls gasped, what about that? Send them all over? Aren't you afraid that the empress will kill Duke Huo, Chai Shao, and silence his entire family?
"What? Too little?"
"No, no, no, Master Yu, it's too much!"
"How much? How much! My mother has taken care of me for so many years, and now it is my turn to take care of her children. I will give them as much as they need! I will make up for them whatever they lack!"
More than twenty years of affection, isn’t that much? If possible, Fang Chen would be willing to give everything to them to make up for their lack of maternal love.
Xuan Twelve sneaked out of the palace and told Aunt Liu the news quickly, otherwise there would be big trouble again.
His Highness went crazy and howled all night just to prepare gifts for others.
And these two people are not actually close to him!
After hearing this, Changsun Wugou and Li Shimin also fell into silence.
"what to do?"
"I don't know."
"Let him go?"
"I have already promised him."
"But he is my son!"
"There will be opportunities in the future."
"No, I have to tell him!"
Pulling his eldest grandson Wugou, Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do if I say it? It adds more sorrow, and you don't even think about how much Pingyang means in his heart!"
Yes, Princess Pingyang, you occupy so much of Yu'er that the only close relative in his heart is you!
But I refuse to accept it. You stole my child and his heart!
"Your Majesty, can the Chai family be wiped out? I don't want him to continue to exist!"
This has already made him murderous, and Li Shimin is also a little angry. Yu'er and Chai Shao don't have much to do with each other, but the two children of the Chai family are a big trouble.
Yu'er's brother? Are they worthy?
"I can't kill him. Chai Shao is now almost equal to Yu'er's retainer."
Huh? No wonder, before, I always felt that something was wrong with Chai Shao. Only then did Li Shimin realize why Chai Shao and Qin Qiong were loyal to Yu'er in the first place.
"I'll make him look good in a few days. If I can't kill him, why can't I punish him?"
No matter what reason you choose, Chai Shao’s beating is inevitable!
Changsun Wugou still felt upset, as if his most beloved thing had been taken away.
Also unhappy are Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi, Yu Zhang, and even Li You... As for Li Ke? That guy won't show it, and the best choice is to continue to act cowardly.
"Second brother, do you really want to recognize them as brothers?"
"Second brother, if you think about it again, you are basically a royal now!"
Fang Chen rolled his eyes and thought, are these two crazy? Shouldn't he make the decision on this matter?
"No, second brother, I will never let you get confused. If you really like them, just protect them in the future. But if you really accept them as brothers, the Chai family will definitely be doomed."
Fang Chen finally showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "I am my mother's adopted son, and they are my mother's biological children. What's wrong with me taking care of them? I'm older than them, so what's wrong with them calling me big brother?"
"Second brother..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Wei, I, Fang Chen, have no mother and would have been dead long ago!"
"Yu'er?"
After settling two of them, another big boss comes.
"Fang Chen, please pay homage to the Queen. If the Queen comes to persuade Fang Chen, please excuse me."
Changsun Wugou opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He sighed and smiled bitterly, "It's up to you, but remember, your brothers must be Chengqian and Qingque, and they can only be Chengqian and Qingque."
, otherwise, the Chai family will be finished."
"Why?" Fang Chen dropped the package he had just prepared.
Changsun Wugou turned around and said, "Because now you are my adopted son, and they are not!"
Fang Chen knelt down on his knees and made a crisp sound, "Fang Chen is glad that the empress loves her, but there are some things that Fang Chen must do. The princess did not leave me to starve to death at the beginning. Today, I cannot abandon the two of them."
There was a hint of anxiety in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wugou Feng. She felt that at this moment, the relationship between mother and son, which was getting closer and closer, was actually cracked.
"Okay! I allow you to recognize them, but this matter cannot be made public. Is that okay?"
The second half of the sentence is even a little weak.
Chapter completed!
