Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

The roar almost scared Li Shen to pee, and only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing.

It goes without saying that his father is angry.

When he looked up at his father again, he saw a pair of murderous eyes looking at him.

His father had a frown on his face and glared at him.

A blood-red light emanated from his entire body.

Damn, my dad is going to explode.

Li Shen thought to himself that this was not good. If he was beaten in public, he would have no shame left.

"Father, calm down. Anger is harmful to your health. Please listen to my explanation."

Li Shen hurriedly bowed and almost knelt down to beg for mercy, and repeatedly winked at Li Chengqian, asking him to help speak well of him.

Li Chengqian had a half-smile on his face, as if he didn't understand, and even winked at Li Shen, which made Li Shen grit his teeth.

"Rebellious son, is this how you defend the royal family's reputation? You even dare to swear by the royal ancestors. You are so bold."

Li Shimin was furious, and he didn't even mention his ancestors.

People of this period had great respect for their ancestors, and the more powerful and influential the family, the more so.

Ordinary people have ancestral tablets in their homes, let alone large families.

At this time, people believed that their ancestors would protect them, so they should not be disrespectful to their ancestors.

Just like when Xue Rengui was poor and destitute, he still wanted to move his ancestral grave to change his fortune.

Li Shen's move really angered Li Shimin.

"Aye, Aye, that's not the case. I swore an oath with my ancestors so that Songtsen Gampo would not have any doubts. Otherwise, he would not have come with me to Chang'an City.

This is just a temporary solution. I believe that my ancestors will forgive me if they are still alive."

Li Shen was scared. It was obvious that his father was going to beat him up.

The officials from the three provinces and six ministries no longer cared about Songtsen Gampo at this time. They all watched the scene with great interest as if they were watching a play.

Prince Ji was indeed extremely bold and dared to do anything. He even dared to use the royal ancestors to make excuses.

He still does things so unscrupulously and fearlessly. No, it should be said that he now knows fear.

Everyone was looking forward to the scene where Li Shen was beaten.

Cheng Yaojin even stretched his neck and shouted in his heart, "Beat him, why don't you do it yet?"

Li Shimin was burning with anger at this moment. This rebellious son had already gone too far in bullying the emperor, and now he even did not let his ancestors go.

If this gets out, the royal family will have no face left.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin sneered twice:

“Haha, if I forgive you, then you can go to the ancestral temple, kneel down and ask the ancestors if they will forgive you.

Come, take Prince Ji to the Seven Temples and make him kneel. Without my permission, he is not allowed to take a single step out of here."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, a eunuch came forward and tried to pull Li Shen away.

"Wait." Li Shen broke free from the eunuch,

"Aye, I brought Songtsen Gampo back to Chang'an City, which was a great achievement. Even if I made mistakes, the merits should be offset, right?

I am a meritorious official."

Li Shen argued that he would not go to the Seven Temples to kneel as punishment. It was so cold and gloomy there, with tablets everywhere, and it would not be scary if he was alone.

Besides, things would be very serious when he got there. His father would beat him up in front of his ancestors, and there would be no one to plead for him.

You can't expect your ancestors to come out and plead for mercy, right? Even if they do come out and don't beat you up, it's already good enough.

If I have to be beaten, I have to go to the harem. With the Queen around, I can at least get beaten less.

"I think it makes sense, so I'll just give it a few beatings."

Before Li Shimin could speak, a discordant voice came from the crowd.

Li Shen was almost so angry that he vomited blood after hearing this. He turned around suddenly and saw Cheng Yaojin stretching his neck and looking around, as if he was also looking for someone to talk to.

"Duke Lu, the three hundred thousand strings of cash your son owes me must be delivered to Prince Ji's mansion tomorrow, otherwise I will beat your son to death."

Li Shenshen pointed at Cheng Yaojin and shouted angrily.

"Three hundred thousand strings of cash!" Cheng Yaojin, who was originally watching the fun, suddenly lost the mood to watch.

He really wanted to curse, "How could a person turn 3,000 guan into 300,000 guan?!"

All his lifetime salaries combined are less than 300,000 strings of cash. How dare this young man ask for such a high price.

However, seeing Li Shen's angry look, he was really afraid that Li Shen would beat his son to death. Even if he didn't beat his son to death, he couldn't bear it.

Looking around, I saw a group of old men looking at me with smiles on their faces. The excitement now belonged to me.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I feel that His Royal Highness Prince Ji has made meritorious contributions, and his merits outweigh his faults, so he should not be punished.

Furthermore, His Royal Highness Prince Ji also said that this was a temporary measure. He was the first person in history to bring the Tibetan king back to Chang'an. He should be recorded in history, his name immortalized in history, and revered by all."

It doesn’t matter whether it’s lively or not. Whether you fight or not, he is your child. You should save yourself first.

When it comes to being thick-skinned, Cheng Yaojin has never been inferior to anyone in this world except King Ji.

"This old man has no shame."

"That's right, he's very good at adapting to changing circumstances."

"I disdain to associate with them."

Cheng Yaojin's words immediately aroused the contempt of other old ministers. They were just waiting to see Prince Ji being beaten, but now this guy actually started begging for mercy.

"Aye, I have no choice. He is the Tibetan king. If I hadn't done this expedient, how could he have come with me?

But Er only said that he would not stop it, but did not say that others could not do it.

Any one of the many important officials present could have detained Songtsen Gampo."

Li Shen turned around and began to explain, and included other people in the process.

The hustle and bustle is not that good to look at.

Sure enough, after Li Shen finished speaking, those ministers who were still mocking and supporting him immediately looked at Li Shen. This was too mean.

If these people were allowed to be bad guys, how would it be recorded in history books? He was the king of Tubo.

"Haha, His Highness Prince Ji is indeed wise. I, an old minister, can't help but feel inferior to him." Changsun Wuji laughed twice. He had guessed that Prince Ji had made preparations in advance, which was why he swore by his ancestors.

Shut everyone's mouth.

Who dares to make Prince Ji break his oath? Your Majesty, won't you kill him first?

"Haha, uncle, you are so kind. You are so kind." Hearing the praise, Li Shen grinned and bowed to Changsun Wuji.

"Bang!" A loud bang startled Li Shen, and Li Shimin slammed the table heavily.

Seeing Li Shen's expression, he was even more furious. He waved his hand at the people below:

"Drag him away and make him kneel in seven temples."

"Hey? Hey? Aye, let me explain." I thought everything was fine, but I didn't expect that I would be dragged away anyway.

Li Shimin just stared at Li Shen silently. Seeing Li Shen struggling and the two eunuchs unable to drag him away, Wang De waved his hand and four more eunuchs came up and lifted Li Shen up.

"Aye, I am a meritorious official, my merits and demerits offset each other, please let me go, I won't go to the ancestral temple... Aye, please spare me... There are ghosts there, I'm scared... I will come back..."

(Those who don’t have claustrophobia or fear of heights cannot understand that kind of fear that comes from the heart.

I'm afraid of heights. I'm fine below the third floor, but I get a bit nervous looking down from above the third floor, and I get a lot of dread above the tenth floor.)
