Chapter 95 The Prince, I'm as Confused as Your Father
Li Heng could only agree to come out, knowing that what he was holding in his hands was a very hot potato.
He knew that this was his father testing himself and giving him a chance to perform.
If you deal with these old guys for Dad, you will not only establish your prestige in front of them, but you will also be appreciated by Dad, killing two birds with one stone.
However, this kind of opportunity was thrilling. If he couldn't say a word, he would be besieged by those old guys, most of whom were Li Heng's grandfathers. Even if they scolded him or even beat him, he could only endure it.
Li Heng sighed and hurried to the main hall. After taking a glance, his head immediately became enlarged.
In the main hall, there were dozens of old guys, some sitting on chairs, some sitting on the ground, some back to back, some lying down, all kinds of things, none of them behaved well.
Also, from the early morning to now, the old guy can't stand still. He makes all kinds of weird looks and insists on trying to compete with Li Longji.
When Li Heng came in, he didn't get the treatment the prince deserved. No one knelt down and kowtowed to him. A few old guys just cupped their hands and called him prince.
Li Heng was directly ignored and could only endure it. Instead, he raised his hands and said: "My princes and ministers, it is getting late. You should go back early. Why bother to postpone the time and engage in unnecessary arguments."
As soon as Li Heng finished speaking, Li Yi said: "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why do you need to wade into this muddy water? You know very well that we, a group of veterans, are not fighting for personal gain, but for the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. Today we must
I need to talk to His Majesty."
Xu Jiyuan stroked his beard and said coldly: "Yes, if Your Majesty doesn't come out, we will wait here. Your Highness, if you are His Majesty's lobbyist, please go back immediately. It is Your Majesty we want to see."
Li Heng had a headache when he heard these two old guys talking. Li Heng said: "My father is slightly ill. Is it too much for you to force the palace? As a minister, don't you even follow the rules and regulations and are stubborn?
, angered my father, and no one had a good life."
Li Yi said: "Prince, if you say this, do you still want to punish us? It's ridiculous. We are a bunch of veteran ministers who care about the country and advise His Majesty. What's wrong? Your Majesty insists on going his own way. Aren't you afraid of people's disapproval?"
The two old guys scolded their children, completely ignoring Li Heng's feelings. Li Heng was already upset.
Li Heng said angrily: "I also want you to make irresponsible remarks about my royal family affairs. Not to mention that my father is angry. Even I think you have gone too far. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being disrespectful to you."
What Li Heng thought was that he could either use violence to drive them out, or if he got angry, he would directly let the imperial army arrest them.
As soon as Li Heng became angry, he was suddenly hit with a cane on his leg, and then he heard an old scolding.
"Grandson, you actually want to use force? You are blind. When grandpa and I went to war, your father was still a baby. The Tang Dynasty was bought with the blood of us old guys. What are you yelling about?"
The speaker was Prince Li Zhenguo, who was over eighty years old, had white hair, and looked menacing.
Li Heng endured the pain and was a little scared. He could only mutter: "Grandpa, you are already at this age. It is not good to live at home for the rest of your life. Why are you still looking for trouble?"
Li Zhenguo shouted: "Grandson, can you speak human language? Grandpa, I have nothing to do to make trouble? That father of yours is doing ridiculous things, can't I say that? Today he fell in love with Shou Wang's woman, and you are still talking to him. If it happens another day
If he falls in love with your woman, what will you do?"
Li Zhenguo showed no mercy at all and spoke directly and openly. He would never condone such scandalous things that were contrary to human ethics.
Li Heng was speechless when asked.
Yes, because Yang Yuhuan is too beautiful, she is obviously his daughter-in-law, but when he turns around, his father-in-law will confiscate her. This kind of thing is really a big joke. If one day, his father really wants to occupy his Li Heng's woman, what can he do?
Sample?
He probably could only crush it with his teeth and swallow it into his stomach. Li Heng's face turned red and he was speechless.
Li Zhenguo was unreasonable and continued to reprimand: "You have no regard for human ethics. You are a prince. You don't know how to persuade His Majesty. You still have the nerve to dominate here and scare you, grandpas and grandsons. If you don't hurry up, grandpa will still do it."
I want to whip you."
Li Heng was scolded and his anger could no longer be suppressed. Even though he was a royal grandfather, so what?
In all the internal fights in the palace, brothers, sisters, and uncles from the same clan were not attacked? A few old grandfathers bullied others too much.
Li Heng couldn't help it and shouted sternly: "You guys, old ministers, are too arrogant. You rely on your elders and sell your elders. I don't care about you. However, you are full of filthy words and disrespectful of the elders. I really can't listen to you today."
Get down, here comes someone."
Li Heng shouted, and immediately dozens of Forbidden Army guards poured in from the door of the hall. They stood on all sides with their hands on the handles of their swords, waiting for Li Heng's order.
These forbidden troops were also tacitly approved by Li Longji and came with Li Heng to protect the prince. They were just words. Li Longji wanted to see how Li Heng would perform after having the forbidden troops in his hands.
Most of the dozens of old guys were frightened when they saw Li Henglai. Once the Li family dynasty got angry and killed people, they would not even spare their brothers, sisters, uncles and relatives. They were cruel and ruthless. They had seen it before.
When the prince is angry, blood will inevitably flow on the spot. Therefore, more than half of the old guys immediately knelt down and bowed their heads in silence.
However, before Li Heng's anger boiled over, another old guy beside Li Zhenguo, Li Shangwu, suddenly took action and grabbed Prince Li Heng.
This Li Shangwu is also a relative of the Li family, a very senior prince, he is over seventy years old, he was born as a military general, and he was once a high-ranking general.
As soon as he saw Li Heng using force, he immediately became furious and restrained Li Heng.
Li Heng was shocked and asked in panic: "Grandpa, old general, what are you going to do? Let me go quickly, are you going to commit trouble?"
Although Li Shangwu was old, his hands were very strong, and Li Heng felt that his wrists were about to break.
Li Shangwu shouted: "Now that I know how to call you grandpa, am I making trouble? Bah, what did we do? We took away our son's wife and made it grand. You, the prince's kid, don't distinguish between good and bad, and you and me
, just as confused."
Li Heng was scolded and scolded so much that he was shaking all over and couldn't escape. Several forbidden soldiers surrounded him and tried to take Li Heng away, but Li Shangwu shouted them back.
Li Heng asked bitterly: "Grandpa, what on earth are you going to do? Can you let go first?"
Li Shangwu sneered: "You know it hurts, are you afraid? What can we, a bunch of old men, do? We are upright and just say a few words. You don't distinguish between good and bad, but you have to take action. Come on, let's do it today
Are we all going to die together?"
As Li Shangwu said this, he pulled Li Heng to his leg. Only then did Li Heng realize that scaring these old guys would mean getting slapped on his own.
Li Heng kept begging for mercy: "Grandpa, it's just my grandson who was confused for a moment. Let me go first. Everything is easy to talk about. Why are you all coming in? Why don't you just get out?"
Li Heng turned around and scolded the Imperial Guards. Dozens of Imperial Guards exited the hall in dismay.
Li Shangwu scolded: "You know what I'm doing, grandson. Dancing with swords and guns is your grandfather's forte. If you dare to do anything else in the future, let's see how I deal with you."
Li Heng could only beg for mercy: "Grandpa taught me a lesson, my grandson will leave now, and you can do as you like!"
At this moment, Li Heng couldn't even care about his father. He hid first and then talked about it. These old guys, Wen and Wu couldn't listen to them, and they couldn't scare Wu at all. This job was done poorly, and he could only get angry and scolded from both sides for no reason.
Got beaten several times.
Fortunately, Li Shangwu also understood the importance and let go of his hand. Li Heng's face turned ugly and he almost burst into tears.
A group of old guys burst into laughter and drove Li Heng out of the hall.
Li Mu had come here a long time ago. Outside the main hall, he peeked inside for a while and saw Li Heng being tortured into a dog. Li Mu snickered in his heart.
Without personal experience of this kind of situation, Li Mu would not believe it no matter what others said. Seeing is believing. Li Mu also saw how difficult the old minister was.
Li Mu didn't want to get involved in this kind of bad thing. He knew that Li Longji was avoiding him. Li Heng was just a cannon fodder, and he deserved to be tortured since he was the prince and wanted to be in power.
Li Mu felt secretly happy and bypassed the main hall and went all the way to the harem to meet Li Longji.
Although Li Longji was hiding in the harem, he was very calm and arranged for Li Heng to perform. Li Longji had already expected that Li Heng would be criticized verbally and written, and he would escape back in embarrassment.
But Li Longji didn't expect that Li Heng would lose so miserably.
Li Longji was planning, Li Heng was back, who else could stabilize the situation, and sent away these annoying old guys, when he saw Li Mushi walking in.
"Father, I have come here specifically to visit my father. I have another official matter to ask for your permission." Li Mu came in, made a big salute, and calmly stated his purpose as if nothing happened.
As soon as Li Longji saw Li Mu, he looked happy and said: "Twenty-one, get up quickly. I've been thinking hard and I'm short of a candidate. You've come just in time." This chapter has been completed!
