Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen waved his hand, and Shi Tou immediately understood and instructed the drivers to wait outside, as they would have to drive the carriage back later.

Li Shen, accompanied by several craftsmen, entered through the side doorway, while the carriage was driven in through the main gate by eunuchs.

As soon as Li Shen passed through the doorway, he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks and jumped three feet high.

“Oh my god!!”

Li Shen, who had just landed, rubbed his bottom with his hand and quickly turned around, only to see his father's angry face.

While rubbing his buttocks, Li Shen thought to himself, "This old man actually launched a sneak attack."

"Father, why did you launch a sneak attack? Isn't that a lack of martial ethics?"

"Martial virtue?" Li Shimin frowned. He understood what Li Shen meant, but those two words were taboo.

Li Shen suddenly realized that Wude was his grandfather's reign title. Wouldn't it be a bit disrespectful to say that he didn't have a grandfather if he didn't have Wude?

"You scoundrel, do you want to fight me? Come, let me show you what martial virtue is."

Li Shimin didn't pay much attention and slowly walked over to Li Shen.

He had been waiting for Li Shen here for a long time, intending to teach Li Shen a lesson.

If we don't take action against someone who dares to cause trouble at the gates of the capital, who knows what will happen to Li Shen next time?

"No, no, Father, please calm down. I am still injured. The doctor said that I have injured my tendons and bones and cannot engage in strenuous activity, or I will become crippled."

As Li Shen saw his father approaching, he backed away while speaking.

Li Shimin didn't care about any of that. Didn't he know whether his bones and muscles were injured or not? Li Chengqian's blows could only cause external injuries.

"Is that so? You unfilial son, how dare you act so presumptuously in front of the imperial city gates? I'll ask you then, who gave you the courage?"

As he spoke, Li Shimin quickened his pace.

Seeing this, Li Shen knew exactly what was going to happen next. He immediately turned around, ignoring the pain in his buttocks.

Driven by his survival instinct, Li Shen floored the accelerator, swung his legs and took off running, shouting as he went.

"LJR gave me the courage, it has nothing to do with me."

The sound lingered in the same spot, but the person had already dashed off at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in 3.7 seconds.

Li Shimin, however, was already experienced, and the moment Li Shen started moving, he rushed out with him at lightning speed.

The father and son once again staged a scene of a dog chasing a rabbit and an eagle catching a chick.

The guards at the gate were all stunned, while only those around Li Shimin and Li Shen seemed unfazed.

Stone, in particular, immediately ran after him, ready to collect his master's body.

He knew that His Majesty would beat the prince severely if he caught up with him, and given his current injury to his buttocks, Prince Ji certainly couldn't walk, so he would have to carry him back.

If he were truly panicked and driving recklessly through the square, his subconscious would lead him to run towards familiar places.

So they went to the Taiji Hall first. At this time, there was no one in the Taiji Palace. Li Shen went around the Taiji Hall and ran inside.

At this moment, inside the Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian was processing memorials. In two days, it would be the Lantern Festival, after which all the officials would go to court.

Now, the heads of the three provinces and the six ministries are all present, discussing what Li Shen said that day: how to achieve cultural inheritance and how to assimilate the barbarians.

"Ah~~~~"

A sound came from afar, then slowly faded away.

"Have you heard any sounds, my esteemed ministers?"

Li Chengqian asked uncertainly, wondering if he was hallucinating from overwork.

Because this is the imperial palace, who would dare to shout here?

"This... I think I heard it." Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"It seems I heard it too," Ma Zhou said, then listened intently, but there was no sound.

Li Chengqian also stopped talking and listened for a while without reappearing, and didn't pay much attention.

"Gentlemen, regarding this matter..."

"Ah~~~~~"

Just as Li Chengqian was about to get down to business, another loud shout came from outside, growing louder as it approached and then gradually fading away.

Li Chengqian was now angry, and his brows furrowed.

"Guards, go and see who dares to make a scene outside!"

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Wang Zhong hurriedly ran out.

The ministers present were also quite curious. Who was so audacious as to shout in the palace? Wouldn't they be beaten to death?

But Wang Zhong didn't return after a while. Just as Li Chengqian was getting impatient, another loud shout came in.

"Hmph!" Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and was about to go and see when he saw Wang Zhong run in.

"What's going on? Who's shouting outside?" Li Chengqian questioned before Wang Zhong could report.

"Your Highness, it's...it's..." Wang Zhong stammered. He was afraid that these two men were not ordinary people, and it would damage his image.

"Who is it? Speak up!" Li Chengqian snapped.

Wang Zhong then bowed and replied:

"Your Highness, it is...it is Prince Ji."

"Prince Ji?" Everyone was stunned. Had Prince Ji gone mad? He shouted at the entrance of the Liangyi Hall.

Li Chengqian also looked puzzled:

"You mean Prince Ji? Why was he shouting outside?"

“Your Highness, it wasn’t Prince Ji who was shouting outside the door. He was shouting as he ran because… because His Majesty was chasing after him.”

Wang Zhong replied.

He had been looking outside for a while but no one was there. He asked the guards and found out what was going on. However, to ensure the story's authenticity, he waited at the door for a while and then saw Prince Ji running over while shouting.

And following behind him was none other than His Majesty the Emperor.

"You mean the tenth brother was chased and beaten by Father again?" Li Chengqian's face showed curiosity, schadenfreude, and a restless desire after hearing this.

Then Li Chengqian smiled and said to everyone:

"Um... gentlemen, would you be interested in joining me to see the excitement?"

What's politics, what's succession? None of that matters as much as watching the spectacle.

"Hahaha, we will obey His Highness the Crown Prince's orders," Changsun Wuji immediately laughed.

“Yes, this kind of thing is quite rare,” Yu Zhining echoed.

The others nodded in agreement. These old ministers were all shrewd and knew they had to see what was going on, especially since it was a rare sight to see His Majesty teaching his son.

Such a wonderful scene deserves to be studied.

Li Chengqian nodded and led the group out of the Liangyi Hall.

Upon arriving at the main gate, the group looked left and right, only to find no one there.

"Your Highness, Prince Ji and His Majesty will be here soon. They are heading towards Ganlu Palace."

Wang Zhong reminded him.

Everyone waited quietly upon hearing this. After a short while, they heard a commotion in the distance and soon saw Li Shen, dressed in a purple royal robe, running over with a shout.
