Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Li Chengqian wore a crown and sat steadily on the dragon throne, his eyes passing through the layers of hanging pearl curtains, staring quietly below.

Your Highness, Li Ke, Li Tai and Li Zhi stood side by side, exuding an imposing aura. They seemed out of place in this court with strict rules, and their every move revealed their indifference to red tape.

Li Ke had slanted eyebrows, bright eyes, and an unruly air. Li Tai was a bit plump, with a look of stubbornness. Li Zhi had a gentle face and a firm look in his eyes.

Their presence was like a gust of wind, instantly breaking the tranquility of the court.

Li Chengqian looked at them with mixed feelings.

He knew that he was also a fearless and reckless person, and he often violated the rules and regulations.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The "nonsense" of these three people in front of him at this moment seemed reckless, but it aroused a different kind of warmth in his heart.

Sitting on the supreme throne, most emperors in the past were swallowed up by loneliness in the vortex of power, but he at least has these brothers who dare to stand up for him in the court. Regardless of the reason, this friendship is precious.

He sighed silently in his heart that in terms of human relationships alone, he had already surpassed many emperors and was not a truly lonely man.

Suddenly, Li Ke laughed loudly, shaking the hall, and was the first to speak out to refute the ministers.

His words were sharp and to the point, exposing the daily favoritism, corruption and idleness of some officials in the court.

Li Tai and Li Zhi were not willing to be outdone. They engaged in fierce confrontation with the officials, one after another.

The voices of the three people intertwined together, completely disregarding the solemnity that should be maintained in the court.

This scene of openly challenging the majesty of the court instantly caused an uproar among all the civil and military officials in the court.

Tang Jian and Xu Jingzong looked at each other, with a flash of anger and shock in their eyes.

As senior officials in the court, they have always attached great importance to court etiquette and order.

At this moment, seeing the three princes being so "insolent", he could no longer restrain himself.

Tang Jian, dressed in crimson court robes, the hems swaying slightly with his hurried steps, took the first step forward, clasped his hands together, leaned forward, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Wu Wang Li Ke and the chief and deputy envoys from Tokyo have been wantonly roaring in the court, showing no respect for their elders, openly slandering court officials, and even shouting for violence and killing. Such behavior has seriously disrupted court order and disregarded national laws and discipline. I implore Your Majesty to punish them swiftly and severely to rectify the court order and restore order to the court!"

Xu Jingzong stepped forward immediately, his face showing resentment and his eyes reddened with tears welling up in them. He sobbed to Li Chengqian, "Your Majesty, before you even arrived at the court, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu was truly too much."

"Not only did he forcibly occupy the crown prince's honorable first seat, that is also an important position symbolizing the heir to the throne!"

"He even insulted me in public as a dog."

"Although my position is humble, I am still the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, an official appointed by Your Majesty personally."

"Your Highness the King of Wu is so disrespectful to me, an old minister. This is not just a disregard for me, it is clearly disrespectful to Your Majesty and a blatant challenge to your authority!"

Xu Jingzong's tearful accusation aroused the approval of many people.

Li Ke heard this and slowly turned his head. A half-smile was on his face as he looked at Xu Jingzong with interest. His eyes seemed to say, "You continue your performance."

Li Jingyou stood aside, appearing calm and dignified in his behavior, but he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

As the crown prince, his words and actions are watched by countless eyes. If he rashly intervenes in many matters, he will inevitably be criticized for being narrow-minded.

Now that Xu Jingzong had spoken out what he was thinking, it was just the right time for his father to see clearly the rudeness and insolence of his uncle, the Prince of Wu, and to teach him a lesson and make him behave himself.

Li Chengqian listened quietly to what everyone said, and his eyes slowly swept across the hall. Looking at the ministers who were crying and demanding severe punishment for the princes, his brows furrowed slightly.

These ministers seem loyal on a daily basis, but in fact most of them are just trying to protect their own interests and power.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice low but filled with unquestionable authority: "Did I hear correctly? Do you want me to deal with my brothers?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell into dead silence.

The ministers looked at each other in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Your Majesty is so partial to his younger brothers?

Li Ke and Li Zhi are fine, but Li Tai, the Prince of Wei, committed the crime of treason. Why is Your Majesty so tolerant of him?

Since ancient times, brothers have often fought to the death for the throne, and family affection is often vulnerable in the face of power.

No one expected that His Majesty would be so magnanimous and so tolerant of his younger brothers. It was really puzzling.

When Li Jingyou heard that his father was so partial to Prince Wu Li Ke, he felt an irrepressible resentment in his heart.

Li Tai and Li Zhi got along quite well with each other, and he did not have much dissatisfaction with them.

But this uncle, the King of Wu, acted arrogantly and did not even look at his nephew.

Now that his father was still protecting him like this, Li Jingyou felt extremely angry. He secretly clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Li Chengqian seemed to notice Li Jingyou's change of mood. He turned his head slightly and looked at him. A gentle smile appeared on his face and he said softly, "It's just a first place. It's just a little closer to me. In my opinion, it's no big deal."

"You'er, would you mind giving up your place to your uncle?"

When Li Jingyou heard his father calling him, he was extremely reluctant, but he knew very well that in this court, his every word and action represented the dignity of the prince.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction, forced a generous smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Father, it is only natural that my son's position should be given to my uncle."

"Uncle is an elder and deserves respect. Jingyou is willing."

Looking at Li Jingyou, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction, the smile on his face becoming even gentler: "See, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no objection, so you guys should stop crying out for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"As for what you said about the King of Wu scolding you, Lord Xu, I think it was just a quarrel between you two."

"You can't be the Minister of Rites and come to me to deal with it just because someone scolded you, right?"

"If someone scolds you, just scold back."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Xu Jingzong subconsciously looked at Li Ke. Li Ke was a burly man, staring at him with a half-smile, his eyes revealing a terrifying intimidation.

Xu Jingzong's heart trembled, and he pursed his lips subconsciously, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.

He knew in his heart that King Wu Li Ke was an absolute reckless man. If he dared to curse back, the King Wu's fist would probably hit him in the face mercilessly in the next second.

His old bones can't stand such torture. Even if he is beaten, seeing how protective His Majesty is now, it will definitely be left unresolved in the end. Why should he ask for trouble?

Thinking of this, Xu Jingzong lowered his head silently and said no more.
