Chapter 1964 Li Shen Sues Li Chengqian
Li Chengqian is not suitable to be the emperor. Li Shen is determined to shock people. As soon as he said this, the whole study room froze instantly, and even the air seemed to be frozen at this moment.
Li Shimin stared at Li Shen with a frown on his face, while Wang De beside him didn't even dare to breathe.
I secretly pondered the meaning of Ji Wang's words. Could it be that the situation was about to change? Did Ji Wang have some thoughts that he shouldn't have?
This question not only existed in Wang De's mind, but even Li Shimin was wondering whether Li Shen wanted to seize the throne.
Today, Li Shen is no longer the child he was ten years ago. He is completely different now.
The Ji Prince's Mansion is financially strong and powerful. He is fully capable of competing for the throne. If things go wrong, there may be another Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Because Li Shen has military power, three thousand elite soldiers are outside the city, and there is also a mysterious elite special forces team called the Blade, who are good at disguise, scouting the enemy, assassinating leaders and other tasks, making it difficult to guard against.
If Li Shen wanted to kill Li Chengqian, it was not impossible.
The fact that the sharp blade can sneak into the homes of officials and nobles silently at midnight to install lightning rods is enough to show how powerful it is.
"Old Ten, what exactly did you mean by that? Why is Gao Ming not suitable to be the crown prince?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and asked with a serious face. He didn't want his thoughts just now to be true.
Li Shen seemed not to notice that his father looked unhappy, and expressed his opinion as a matter of course:
"Replying to Father Ye, I think that my elder brother is narrow-minded and lacks the mind of an emperor. He is disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and lacks the virtues of an emperor."
"Anything else?" Li Shimin's face became even uglier. Disloyal and unfilial, unkind and unjust, these eight words were too heavy. Li Shen actually used these eight words to describe the prince.
"Also, and more, my eldest brother is a bully, he is tyrannical, he relies on his status and Aye's favor to act recklessly, he is arrogant because of his favor,
Moreover, as a prince, he should have behaved uprightly and was honest, but he actually accepted bribes in private, did things for others, and committed the crime of perverting the law and taking bribes."
Li Shen spoke fluently and listed all the crimes that Li Chengqian had committed that he could think of.
After he finished speaking, his face was still filled with indignation, and he kept thinking in his mind whether there were any crimes he had not yet confessed.
Anyway, Li Shen had to repeat everything he knew and heard.
The more Li Shimin listened, the worse his expression became. Weren't the charges Li Shen had brought against him a bit too many? Was the crown prince really so despicable?
Wang De was even more surprised. Why did the accusation King Ji mentioned sound so familiar to him? It seemed that he had pinned all the comments made by the people of Chang'an City on King Ji on the prince.
"Are you done?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
"Replying to Aye, these are for now. I will think about the rest after I get back and tell Aye when I have thought of it."
Li Shen said as he picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.
With a "bang", Li Shimin slammed the table heavily, scaring Li Shen.
"Li Shen, do you have any basis for the charges you just brought against Gao Ming? If not, do you know what it means to defame the crown prince?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and asked viciously.
He was wondering in his heart whether this rebellious son was talking nonsense to avenge Li Chengqian's complaint or whether Li Shen was deliberately slandering and defaming the prince to achieve some unspeakable secret.
Li Shimin didn't believe the charges against Li Shen at all. Although he was released, he knew clearly what major events happened in the court every day.
Without any means, how could he dare to rest and recuperate here with peace of mind?
"My dear father, everything I said is true. I have no grudges against my elder brother, and we have no conflicts of interest. How could I slander him for no reason?
This is all based on reason and evidence. If it is false, I am willing to accept the punishment. "
Li Shen stood up and saluted respectfully, then made a solemn promise to Li Shimin.
His action made Li Shimin a little undecided. He thought to himself, could it be true? What did the prince do that he didn't know?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin asked:
"Well, then tell me how he was disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust?
And all the bullying, tyranny, arrogance, corruption, and bribery that you mentioned are all mentioned one by one.
If you tell a lie, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and I will beat you to death."
After saying this, Li Shimin shook the family rules in his hand.
He really didn't want to believe that these words were used to describe the prince he had painstakingly cultivated for more than twenty years.
If all of this is true, then wouldn't the past twenty years of his life have been wasted? Have he spent more than twenty years cultivating such a bully prince?
Hearing that his father was going to beat him to death, Li Shen couldn't help but shudder. This family was unbearable to stay in. He was beaten for every little thing. Not only was he beaten, but he was also beaten to death. There was no law at all.
He now has an urge to break away from his original family, but unfortunately he doesn't dare.
After calming down, Li Shen said:
"Replying to Aye, I said that my elder brother is narrow-minded because he came to Aye to complain for such a small matter. As a prince, he should be more broad-minded.
Secondly, as an emperor, Aye was recuperating in Cuiwei Palace and should not be disturbed by outsiders. However, the eldest brother came to Aye to complain for a trivial matter, disturbing Aye's meditation and tranquility. As a subject and a son, isn't this disloyal and unfilial?
I am his younger brother and have helped him a lot over the years. However, he came to Aye to complain over a trivial matter and even accused me of treason. As an elder brother, isn't it unkind and unjust to falsely accuse my younger brother of treason?
So I am not wrong to say that he is narrow-minded, disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust. "
Li Shen's expression was serious, his words were righteous, his eyes were firm, and he gritted his teeth. In his opinion, this matter was an unforgivable crime.
But after hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"Is that all?"
"Aye, isn't this enough?" Li Shen asked back.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then stood up, paced back and forth, and slowly came to Li Shen. Suddenly, he swung the family sword in his hand and hit Li Shen's arm with a snap.
"Oh my god." Li Shenlian jumped up high in pain and fear, hissing and rubbing the place where he was hit with his hands.
"Asshole, according to you, if the prince sues you, you are disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust?
It's not narrow-minded to allow you to do whatever you want, right?
You did something wrong, and now others can't impeach you, otherwise it would be disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, right?"
With a slap, Li Shimin whipped Li Shen again, making Li Shen wail in pain.
"Aye, Aye, that's not what I meant. It's just a small matter." Li Shen rubbed the place where he was hit and explained quickly.
