I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Concubine Wei really worried about Li Shen and taught him earnestly.

When she heard yesterday that Li Shen was going to be hanged, her heart sank.

Fortunately, Li Shimin finally said that the matter had been settled, and she felt relieved.

"Mother, I know I was wrong, and I will correct it in the future."

Li Shen, who was lying on the bench, replied quickly.

Li Shen was still very moved when he saw his mother teaching him earnestly.

No matter how lucky it is, there is still someone in this world who really cares about you, who is afraid that you will get hurt or even die.

"Well, since you know you are wrong, I will punish you with twenty lashes. You should learn from this as a warning.

In the future, you must be careful in what you say and do."

Concubine Wei nodded and gave the final judgment.

"Oh, twenty?"

"Crack~~~"

"what!!!!"

Before Li Shen was ready, Concubine Wei punished him personally, beating him again and again.

Li Shen was beaten so hard that he screamed and cried. Fortunately, the eunuch held him down, otherwise he would have flown away long ago.

Concubine Wei was indeed very forceful in the first few times, but she began to reduce her strength later on. However, Li Shen still felt a burning pain.

Twenty hits were soon over and Li Shen stood up limping.

"Shen'er, you must never do things like this again in the future." Concubine Wei warned.

"Yes, mother, I will remember your teachings." Li Shen bowed.

"Okay, you go and see the emperor first. Don't keep his majesty waiting for too long." Concubine Wei sat down slowly and waved to Li Shen.

"Yes, mother. I'll take my leave now." Li Shen bowed, then limped out, holding his buttocks.

"Alas~~When will Shen'er grow up?" Concubine Wei sighed as she looked at Li Shen's back.

"Squeak~~~"

The door of Daji Hall opened and Li Shen walked out supported by servants.

Seeing Wang De looking at him with a smile, Li Shen was immediately furious:

"You old dog, how dare you frame me...oh~~~"

Li Shen wanted to rush over and teach Wang De a lesson, but as soon as he took a bigger step, his butt hurt.

He could only glare at Wang De angrily. As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they become jealous of each other.

Wang De didn't care. He put away the smile on his face and replaced it with a look of surprise:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, what happened to you? Didn't you go to pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine? Did you get bumped into something?"

Such outstanding acting skills made Li Shen hate him so much that his teeth itched.

"Old Wang, don't be too proud. Why did you ask someone to close the door just now? You caused me to get beaten up.

Do you know that you are committing treason and high treason?" Li Shen pointed at Wang De and prepared to scold him.

"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding? I have never had anyone close the door before. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Wang De shook his head, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"Don't try that. I heard it clearly. Just stare at me. I will definitely take revenge on you."

Li Shen was very familiar with the sound of the door closing that he just heard. He had heard it for more than ten years.

How could I have heard it wrong?

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Let's go quickly."

Wang De looked at the sky and began to urge Li Shen to get up.

"Hmph, are we not done yet?"

Seeing Wang De change the subject, Li Shen could only snort and was supported by Shi Tou as he walked towards the Nanhai Pool.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is outside seeking an audience."

On the second floor of Yajingju, Wang De was the first to come up to report.

"Have you paid your respects to the imperial concubine?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I have already greeted you." Wang De replied hurriedly.

"Oh, how was the invitation?" This is what Li Shimin was most concerned about.

"Your Majesty, mother is kind and son is filial." Wang De smiled slightly.

"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good. Let him in."

Hearing about the loving mother and filial son, Li Shimin laughed heartily.

"Son pays his respects to Father." After going up to the second floor, Li Shen stepped forward and saluted Li Shimin.

"Well, no need to be polite, just sit down." Li Shimin nodded.

"Hiss~~~~" As soon as his butt landed on the chair, he felt a sharp pain, which made Li Shen take a breath and stand up again.

"Ha.... ahem, ahem, um, Old Ten, sit down and talk."

Li Shimin almost laughed out loud and coughed twice to cover it up, but he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

"Yeah, I was just injured and need a cushion." Li Shen said bluntly.

Anyway, his father knew about this matter, and he was sure that it was his father who arranged it.

I don’t know what method Li Shimin used to make her mother become his thug.

"Yeah." Li Shimin gestured to Wang De.

Wang De immediately brought over a cotton pad.

Li Shen then sat down reluctantly.

"Father, I wonder why you called me here?" Li Shen asked straight to the point.

Looking at Li Shen's strange sitting posture, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh.

"I heard that there was a loud noise coming from the east yesterday. Some people said it sounded like thunder in a drought. I really want to ask you what the noise was."

Li Shen had thought about this issue a long time ago, so he was ready and quickly replied:

"Replying to Aye, it's actually not a big deal. It was just an explosion during the research at the research institute."

Li Shen gave a brief introduction.

"Research Institute? What exactly exploded? Would an ordinary explosion make such a loud noise?"

Hearing Li Shen's perfunctory attitude towards him, he immediately became angry.

"Aye, calm down. Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the second group of gunpowder exploded due to improper operation."

Li Shen did not explain the steam engine explosion. Even if he did, he believed that his father would not understand.

Even I only have a vague understanding of it.

"Gunpowder?" Upon hearing these two words, Li Shimin immediately put away his smile.

"I remember there was an explosion a few years ago, didn't you?

Why did it happen again this time?"

“Replying to Aye, this time is similar to the last time, both are caused by incorrect operation.

The child has been dealt with, and the second group has been found a separate place to try not to hurt innocent people. "

Li Shen replied respectfully.

“But why did I hear that the Ji Wangfu’s thousand-man team was also among them?

Do you know what the crime of mobilizing troops without authorization is?"

"It's hanging." Before Li Shimin could finish his words, Li Shen typed it out himself.

I got beaten so badly just for hearing these two words.

Li Shimin had not expected that Li Shen actually knew about the death penalty by hanging, but then Liang Shang's smile disappeared and he cursed:

"You bastard, do you know anything about hanging?"

"Aye, this is an emergency, there is nothing I can do, I can't just watch someone die.

"My son's only thought is to rescue people as soon as possible. Every one we rescue is a good thing. These research institutes are our treasures."

Li Shen hurriedly explained.

"That's not a reason for you to mobilize the army without authorization!" Li Shimin said angrily.

(I couldn’t even open my eyes after the second half. It was three o’clock in the morning.
