Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 912 Punishment
At this time, the domestic turmoil in Zhao had just subsided, which happened to be the best time for them to recuperate.

……

……

Datang Palace.

Emperor Li Er was admiring the scenery in the imperial garden, when suddenly a guard came to report: "General, Li Fu begs to see you!"

Hearing this news, Li Er was stunned, his eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he seemed to have guessed the purpose of Li Fu's visit.

"Xuan!" Li Er said.

Soon, Li Fu walked into the imperial garden and knelt down in front of Li Er and Li Er.

"I will see my father! Long live my father!" Li Fu said respectfully.

"Excuse me! Hurry up and get flat! Li Fu! I really didn't expect that you would take the initiative to find me. Your performance really surprised me!"

Li Er sat on the stone table in the middle of the imperial garden, picked up the teapot beside him and poured a cup of hot water to drink, then put it down again, and continued:

"Tell me! What are you looking for? Is it still about Zhao Guo? If so, I have already said that I will solve Zhao Guo's problem, and you don't need to intervene."

"You can stay in Chang'an City with peace of mind! As for your two thousand guards, you can take it with you to play! I won't interfere!"

Hearing this, Li Fu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still persisted: "Ask my father, I am indeed here not for other things, but for matters related to the State of Zhao!"

"Hmm." Li Er raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Since you're here, let's hear what it is!"

"That's right!" Li Fu said slowly, "I obeyed the general's order last night to encircle and suppress Zhao Yu's remnants. Not only that, but I also killed all the remnants of Zhao! But..."

"But what? Didn't you catch a prisoner? Or, you have already failed, so you dare not come back to meet me?" Li Fu was interrupted by Li Er before he could finish speaking.

"I report to my father, my son has indeed failed! And it was a very failure!" Li Fu said with his head down.

"Oh? What does it mean to fail?" Li Errao said with interest, "I thought you could succeed. After all, Zhao Guo has already been feared by us."

"You should be able to capture them easily, but you failed. What happened? Please tell me quickly!"

Hearing Li Er's eager inquiry, Li Fu sighed, and said, "Qizou Father, last night Erchen led a team of cavalry to sneak attack Zhao's barracks."

"However, my son's speed is still a bit unlucky, so... my son did not succeed in capturing the remnants of Zhao Guo!"

Hearing this, Li Er was silent for a while, and then asked: "Are you sure it's because your luck is a little bit off, and it's not that you are careless, but that you are not up to date?"

Hearing Li Er's words, Li Fu was startled, and hastily explained: "Qi Father, this matter is due to the cunning of Zhao Guo's remnants, they arranged an ambush to attack us!"

"Hmph! Cunning?" Li Er snorted coldly and said:

"Li Fu, if you hadn't underestimated the enemy, how could these remnants have escaped? Now that they have escaped, the culprits are naturally attributed to you! What else do you have to explain?"

Li Fu was speechless for a while. This reason was indeed a bit far-fetched!
"What should I do there!" Li Fu said.

Li Er snorted coldly, ignored Li Fu, and said to the eunuch next to him, "Go! Pull Li Fu down! Give him another [-] punishments! Then hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment!"

"Father! You can't do this!" Li Fu exclaimed.

"Hmph! Why, do you still have objections?" Li Er sneered.

Li Fu knelt on the ground helplessly. He knew that he would definitely not win the debate, so he simply admitted his mistake, and only hoped that Li Er would forgive him.

"My son is guilty!" Li Fu kowtowed.

"Hmph! What crime do you still have the face to mention?" Li Er snorted coldly.

Li Fu stopped talking and could only lower his head and wait to be punished.

"Li Fu, do you have anything else to say?" After a long time, Li Er finally spoke.

"I would like to ask again, why should I be punished?" Li Fu raised his head and asked, "Is it because I didn't try my best?"

"Hmph!" Li Er snorted coldly.

"If I hadn't tried my best, I wouldn't have suffered such setbacks. I have already done my best!"

"Haha..." Li Er said with a smile, "It's not that you don't have the ability, but that you didn't do your best at all. You didn't pay attention to those evils of Zhao Guo, so you failed!"

"Arrogance and arrogance are your worst enemies."

Hearing this sentence, Li Fu's face was filled with shame. No matter what, he was Li Er's son, and Li Fu still wanted to show himself in front of him.

This humiliation of failure made Li Fu want to bite off his tongue!But he didn't have the face to say it.

"My son is willing to accept punishment!" Li Fu said, "I just hope that my father will forgive me this time for the sake of my first offense!"

"Hmph!" Li Er glanced at Li Fu, and then said, "Since this is the case, then I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, and you can come back with your cavalry!"

Hearing Li Er's words, Li Fu was extremely excited because he already knew that his crime had been alleviated.

"Thank you, Father! Thank you, General!"

"Go! Go back and reflect on yourself!" Li Er said, "Remember, don't do such absurd things in the future!"

"Yes! I obey the order!" Li Fu said, "I will retire first!"

"Well! Get out!" Li Er said lightly, and then Li Fu retreated.

Coming out of the palace, Li Fu breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a fire in his heart, and there was nowhere to vent this fire, so he decided to find a place to vent it.

Thinking of this, Li Fu immediately ordered a trusted guard around him to lead people to search the entire Shenmu Mountain. He believed that this time, traces of the rebels would be found!

After he attacked Zhao Yu's barracks at night last time, they retreated into Shenmu Mountain. That night Li Fu received the news from his trusted guards.

Soon, news came back that Zhao Jun had been found and was stationed in the Dragon River Basin to the east.

"The Dragon River Valley in the east?" Li Fu frowned and muttered to himself, "No wonder they dare to be so arrogant. So they went to the Dragon River Valley in the east to avoid my pursuit!"

"Come on! Send a few people to track down the Longhe River Basin in the east. Once you find the enemy, report back to me immediately!" Li Fu ordered coldly.

"In addition, immediately send someone to Zhao Guo to inform them and tell them that I now know their plan and disturb their morale!"
