Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Xu Deman was still polite, and replied leisurely: "As for these, I don't know."

"It's not us ministers who dare to criticize."

"His Royal Highness, please go back."

Li Ke took a deep breath at this time, and snorted angrily, "Then what if I have to go in today?!"

After hearing his words, the old eunuch Xu De's eyes suddenly burst into unquestionable anger.

"Could it be that His Highness the King of Wu wants to disobey the imperial edict?"

"Or is it that His Highness doesn't have the slightest bit of filial piety in his eyes and heart, let alone empress?!"

"Just based on the disrespectful gesture His Highness made with his fingers to the Lizheng Palace just now, His Highness may not be able to eat it and walk around!"

"If Your Highness continues to be obsessed with obsession and refuses to listen to the advice of the ministers, then His Highness will have to bear all the consequences."

The eunuchs in this palace have been in this deep palace all their lives, and they are backed by the emperor and empress, so naturally they are not afraid of him, a concubine prince.

And when it comes to going online, how old are you, Li Ke, and can you compete with Xu De, the chief eunuch?

Ever since, after Wu Wang Li Ke took a few deep breaths, he was very annoyed and ashamed, and retreated in despair.

On the other side, in the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun, Li Shimin, A Ke, Li Qiu, and Luo Kexin's family ate steaming hot pot for lunch.

It's fun.

It may also be because Li Qiu has come here too many times, and Li Qiu doesn't have much sense of imperial power in his subconscious.

When he was convinced that Empress Changsun and Li Shimin were absolutely not in any danger to him, Li Qiu simply didn't pay too much attention.

Driven by him, A Ke and Luo Kexin became more and more natural and casual.

So, without the interference of outsiders, they are more like an ordinary family, old and young, sitting around chatting and eating casually.

This kind of harmony and warmth that can only be found in ordinary families is absolutely impossible in this cold palace.

For such a feeling, not to mention Empress Changsun, even Li Shimin himself enjoyed and indulged in it.

After becoming the emperor, the novelty of the throne and the desire for supreme power gradually faded away.

The fun is getting less and less, but the pressure and troubles are constantly increasing.

So that sometimes, Li Shimin really yearns for the free, ordinary life without too much worry in the past.

This also led to a rare nostalgia and reluctance in Li Shimin's heart when Li Qiu and his family said goodbye after eating at noon and chatting for a while.

Chapter 307

After Li Qiu and the others left, Li Shimin sighed softly, and slept in Lizheng Hall for a while after drinking a lot.

After helping her husband make the bed and watching Li Shimin gradually fall asleep, Empress Changsun quietly withdrew.

At this time, the old eunuch Xu De personally sent Li Qiu, A Ke, and Luo Kexin out of the palace and back to the Lizheng Hall.

So taking advantage of Empress Changsun being fine, she told Empress Changsun very objectively and truthfully what happened outside the door at noon.

When she heard that Wu Wang Li Ke was arrogant and unreasonable, and refused to obey her own edict, empress Changsun couldn't help but flash a trace of anger in her brows.

From the very beginning when Li Ke targeted and calculated to frame Li Qiu, Empress Changsun was very dissatisfied with him.

Now, this kind of thing happened again, which intensified this emotion even more.

However, Empress Changsun, as a generation of virtuous queens, naturally would not magnify this matter, making Li Shimin furious and restless in the harem.

Li Shimin, who was originally under great pressure and had a lot of troubles, brought troubles out of thin air.

Afterwards, Empress Changsun ordered, "Send someone to call Li Ke to this palace."

"Tell him to wait for His Majesty to wake up here and meet his father."

On the other side, in Li Ke's mansion, because of what happened in the Lizheng Hall, Li Ke was furious and extremely angry.

In the mansion, he drank heavily.

Several confidant courtiers beside him, Quan Wanji and others, also kept persuading him.

This Quan Wanji is Feng Deyi's disciple.

In the incident of framing Zhang Yungu, he was demoted by Li Shimin to Shandong.

But later Feng Deyi still thought of a way, using his own authority, to secretly get him back to Chang'an.

When Feng Deyi died of illness, he asked Quan Wanji many times to help take care of Li Ke.

From Quan Wanji's personal point of view, he is really loyal and responsible to Li Ke.

"Your Highness! You can't drink any more!"

"You have just returned to Chang'an, and you have started drinking heavily. If rumors spread, it will be even more detrimental to His Highness!"

"Right now, there are no more Lord Feng and Lord Pei Ji in our court. Today is not as good as it used to be."

"Even that Li Qiu has transformed from a small businessman on the streets of Chang'an to a celebrity in the eyes of the King of Peking, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and all the ministers."

"We can't help but be careful!"

Hearing his words, Li Ke felt even more angry and angry.

With a bang, the wine jug in his hand was smashed to pieces.

"It's all that damned Li Qiu!"

"It's all his fault!!"

"I can't figure it out, he is a humble, lowly merchant, and I am the biological son of my father, a majestic prince, how can I be inferior to him?!"

"Nowadays, even the eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace dare to pretend to be a tiger, give orders, and run to shit on this king's head."

"Could it be that the prince of the Tang Dynasty is so lowly and worthless?!"

Seeing Li Ke getting more and more noisy, Quan Wanji and others hurriedly comforted him and stopped him.

At this moment, a guard suddenly ran in at the door to report that a eunuch in the palace had come to pass the decree.

As soon as Li Ke heard the news, he was half sober from the wine.

The others were even more flustered, and hurriedly tidied up the place, and then accompanied Li Ke out to receive the order.

When the eunuch from the palace saw Li Ke's body full of alcohol, he couldn't help frowning.

After reading out the imperial edict of Empress Changsun, she kindly reminded him.

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty invite His Highness to enter the palace, so please don't lose your courtesy."

After finishing speaking, several eunuchs in the palace turned and left.

Li Ke and the others were left dumbfounded.

"Quan Wanji, what should I do now?!"

"Before I thought that after such an incident, they wished that I could not enter the palace to meet the emperor!"

"But who ever thought?!"

Quan Wanji and the others also sighed anxiously at this time, "Oh, my lord, you shouldn't be drinking so much."

"Now the empress has issued a decree, you will definitely not be able to avoid this encounter."

"Come here, hurry up and prepare water, let His Highness wash up and change into brand new clothes..."

About half an hour later, Li Ke finally stepped on the edge of being polite and came to the Lizheng Hall of Empress Changsun.

"My son, Li Ke, pays homage to my mother."

Empress Changsun never drank alcohol, and there were only two men who had drunk alcohol in the Lizheng Hall.

One is Li Shimin, and the other is Li Qiu.

Even his elder brother, eldest grandson Wuji, had never had a drink here.

Therefore, as soon as Li Ke spoke, the smell of alcohol made Empress Changsun frowned.

"Have you been drinking?!"

This sentence made Li Ke's heart tremble in fright.

Don't think he dared to be fierce against the young eunuchs in the government palace, but even the old eunuch Xu De, he didn't dare to be tough.

As for the eldest grandson queen who is the mother of the world, let alone Li Ke, who dares to disrespect even the whole world?

"After reporting back to my mother, my son-in-law rushed all the way back from Weizhou, and he was really tired."

"I didn't expect the queen mother to summon the children today, so I was greedy and asked the queen mother to punish me."

How smart is Empress Changsun, who has seen countless big scenes, so she can see through his previous state of mind and why he was drinking too much at a glance.

So, a few words of reprimand with a little displeasure.

"Li Ke, what happened outside the gate of the Lizheng Palace today, my palace already knows."

"Have you ever been dissatisfied with the imperial decree of not allowing anyone to meet?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Ke was so frightened that he lost the feeling of drinking at all, sweat was also on his forehead, and he knelt down in a hurry to plead guilty.

"My son absolutely dare not."

Empress Changsun's tone was quite calm at this time, "I think it's because of your filial piety that you came to pay a visit after traveling all the way."

"This time, I will not pursue it for the time being."

"If there is another time, I will definitely not spare you!"

"Just wait here, and His Majesty will see you naturally when he wakes up."

At this moment, Li Shimin had already woken up, bypassed the screen and appeared on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly greeted him respectfully and said hello.

Empress Changsun also put away the seriousness on her face, and greeted her with a smile.

"Did Your Majesty sleep well?"

"Li Ke, this child, has just come back from Weizhou after a long journey, and is waiting here, waiting to see His Majesty."

"It's hard to feel filial piety for him."

I beat Li Ke just now because of Li Ke's disrespect and self-deserving.

But the current Empress Changsun took the initiative to suppress this trivial matter.

Just to make Li Shimin feel at ease, governing the government is enough to worry and tire.

She must not let these trivial matters in the harem add to Li Shimin's troubles.

However, Li Shimin has been awake for a while.

Just now behind the screen, I have already heard the conversation between the two of them clearly.

What kind of person Li Shimin was, just after hearing the conversation, he instantly understood what happened and why.

Chapter 308 Sword, Azure Dragon

Therefore, when faced with Li Ke's visit and the concern of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin was very relieved and patted his wife's hand.

After so many years, I have changed from Li Er to the king of Qin, and now to the current emperor.

But the wife beside him is still the most caring person back then.

Afterwards, he nodded to Li Ke, "Get up, don't be too polite."

"You just returned to Chang'an today?"

Li Ke hurriedly bowed, "Report to Father, my son just returned to Chang'an this morning."

"This time, when the son came back, he specially brought back a gift for the emperor."

"A Han Dynasty, extremely sharp sword, named Qinglong."

Speaking of this, the eunuchs and guards in the palace presented the trays that had been prepared a long time ago.

I saw that the scabbard of this treasured sword is mainly made of red and black lacquer (red and black were the most respected in the Han Dynasty), and at the same time, it is embossed with panchi patterns in gold and inlaid with precious gems.

"Father is wise and martial, and has been fighting for many years. I believe this sword will definitely be worthy of Father's martial prowess, and he will be very fond of him."
