Da Tang: Father, can I resign?

Chapter 27: Rescue (Physical)
"School is over~Finally..."

Another day the sun sets.

After finishing a day's classes, Li Ming felt exhausted and slumped over the desk, exhausted.

Damn it, I still have to study after traveling through time. My travel through time is for nothing.

We can't endure this kind of life poisoned by feudal ideas for even a day.

Hou Baolin, with snot and tears in her eyes, came over and tugged at Li Ming's sleeve with a wronged look on her face.

Because the name "Hou Baolin" gives people the feeling that the person speaks in a nice way, Li Ming is very caring towards this little brother who actually can't even speak straight.

When he saw Hou Baolin crying, he first gave Fang Yize a thumbs-up:
"You can bully him!"

Fang Yi blinked his confused eyes: "But I didn't do anything..."

Li Mingyi said sternly: "You should think more about your own reasons. Why do others think of you first?"

Fang Yize also said aggrievedly: "No, I..."

Hou Baolin choked up and said:
"Brother Ming, Brother Ming...it's not like this...it's like this..."

"wait."

Li Ming interrupted Hou Baolin's monologue and waved to Di Renjie, "Come over and translate for me."

Di Renjie: ...

After the Chinese translation by tool man Di Renjie, Li Ming finally understood why little Baolin became like this.

During the time when he was under house arrest, Hou Baolin's grandfather, Hou Junji, returned triumphantly with the Tang army that had led the Western Expedition to Gaochang.

A grand entry ceremony was held in Chang'an City, and the whole city - mainly the merchants in the East and West Markets - cheered.

However, just now a servant of the Hou family brought news that the commander of this Western Expedition, Hou Junji, was suddenly arrested and thrown into the Heavenly Prison.

Before going out in the morning, little Baolin rode on her grandfather's neck and played horse riding war. When she got home from school, her grandfather was gone.

"This kind of thing happened in Chang'an during the days I was away?" Li Ming was stunned by the emperor father's outrageous behavior.

Yuchi Xunyu pouted in anger. As a descendant of a military commander, he could empathize with Hou Baolin the most:
"It's probably the work of the civil servants. Why did they arrest you, Aung?"

"Woo woo... I am also a hen~" Little Baolin cried loudly when she was sad, and Di Renjie couldn't translate it into words.

After all, there is a limit to what children can do, and after comforting Pauline a few words, everyone dispersed with heavy hearts.

As Li Ming just walked out of the classroom, Chang Sunyan stopped him at the corner.

"Brother Ming, I may know something about Baolin's family. Let's go to a quiet place to talk." The grandson of the court boss Changsun Wuji said mysteriously.

Li Ming saw the follower Wei Daijia talking with Fang Xuanling in the classroom, so he nodded slightly:
"it is good."

The two men came to a courtyard behind the primary school, and Chang Sun Yan told them everything he had heard while eating at home.

"Embezzlement of spoils? Just because of this?!" Li Ming exclaimed.

"Hush! Hush!" Chang Sunyan looked around furtively, and after making sure that no one heard him, he whispered:
"The case is still under investigation. This is a court secret. You must not tell anyone else!"

"I understand." Li Ming nodded solemnly.

He was a little surprised.

It is really a bit of a false accusation to arrest the commander who made great contributions to the destruction of the country just because he embezzled some spoils of war.

I didn't expect that Li Shimin would abandon his troops and persecute good generals on the front line.

I thought this was exclusive to the Dasong Dynasty.

"Wait, could it be that the thing that Fang Xuanling mentioned that made His Majesty so anxious is this?"

Li Ming suddenly had an idea.

The incompetent emperor was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and ordered his corrupt officials to persecute the loyal officials in the court, and he and the loyal officials fought hard in the court...

He has already imagined dozens of episodes of palace drama in his mind.

"Damn it, how did the country become like this!" Chang Sunyan stroked his chin indignantly, a habit he learned from Aong.

"I heard that several generals have been arrested, and Deputy Commander Xue Wanche has to deal with the clerks of the Censorate every day.

"During this period, Grandpa came home every day with his head down and sighed. Hou Baolin is so pitiful. But...but we are weak, what can we do?"

He clenched his fists unwillingly and said a lot in one breath.

Walking the streets and going deep into the grassroots with Li Ming had long since broken the filter that this aristocratic son had for the Tang Dynasty. In the past few days, he had also witnessed the confusing operations of the court, which really made Chang Sun Yan feel suffocated.

He also began to think that the Tang Dynasty Pills were good. Li Ming's idea was more direct.

Since the ruler is incompetent and has imprisoned good generals.

Then do the opposite and rescue Hou Junji!
Mr. Xuanling’s idea is indeed good, but he still doesn’t know me, Li Ming, well enough.

I'm not hiding my strength, I just want to run away!

Since the Hou Junji case is the most worrying thing for father at the moment.

Then let him be even worse!
The accumulation of new and old grudges might make my father completely determined to get rid of me!

Having made up his mind, Li Ming stood on tiptoe, stretched out his little hand, and patted Changsun Wuji's shoulder firmly.

"Don't worry, let's get General Hou out!"

Zhang Sunyan perked up, but soon collapsed again: "But even my grandfather is helpless..."

Li Ming patted his chest confidently:
"Don't you see who your brother Ming is?"

Can you be more powerful than the top brother in the court? ... Chang Sunyan looked at the child king who was a circle younger than him and nodded half-believingly:

"Ah."

"Your Highness." Wei Daijia walked out of the room quickly, "Excuse me for being late."

You can come later... Li Ming said goodbye to his friends and went back with his follower.

When passing by the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin happened to be riding a snow-white horse, preparing to go out.

The Tang Dynasty valued martial arts, and anyone except the elderly would be laughed at for riding in a sedan chair.

"Don't stare!" Wei Daijia reminded in a low voice, then bowed his head and clasped his fists to His Majesty politely.

It’s almost time for dinner. Where do you want to go, father?

Li Ming muttered to himself and kicked Wei Daijia:
"I have a request. Please convey it to my father."

"Just report this directly to His Majesty," Wei Daijia said in a low voice.

Li Ming tugged at Wei Daijia's clothes and twisted his body in a nasty way, just like a little kid throwing a tantrum and rolling around begging for candy:

"Oh~ah~ I just had a quarrel with my father. If I ask him now, he will definitely not agree. You are his spy, he will definitely listen to you."

Wei Daijia ignored him and kept his fists clasped.

Li Ming started to act like a scoundrel:

"If you don't help me, I will tickle you and make you lose your manners in front of the Emperor!"

Wei Daijia refused to yield, his eyes widened with anger:

"You are threatening me? You are the general of the Sixteenth Guard?"

…………

"That kid wants to go to Dali Temple Prison?" Li Shimin frowned, holding the horsewhip in one hand.

Wei Daijia was sweating profusely:
"Yes... yes, His Highness Li Ming said that he wants to take the children of the nobles to the prison for a visit and study tomorrow, to teach everyone to abide by the law, otherwise they will end up like this..."

Li Shimin stroked his mustache:

"He didn't go earlier or later, but he went when Hou Junji was arrested. That kid wants to take this opportunity to break free from the house arrest order step by step, right? Did Fang Xuanling teach him that?"

Wei Daijia didn't dare to respond.

Li Shimin waved his hands impatiently:
"Tell him to study hard and stay in the palace obediently for the next few days, and don't do anything weird...

"Forget it, I'll go talk to him myself."

Under Wei Daijia's dull gaze, Li Shimin pulled the reins and ran straight towards the little guy over there.

Li Ming watched as the tall horse suddenly leaped up and came towards him like a dump truck, then landed lightly a foot in front of him.

If the force is a little greater, he can choose a new dynasty to travel through.

"Daddy, daddy... I, I, I..." Experiencing the oppression of being attacked in the face by a cavalryman for the first time, Li Ming was speechless.

"Dad, what dad? Come up here!"

Li Shimin leaned over skillfully and hooked his hand to pull the chubby little Li Ming onto the horse.

"I'll take you home!"
