Chapter 899 The Weird Banquet

Seeing Li Shimin, Monk Hu hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, the villain is also forced by others to do such a thing! I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"

Monk Hu was very desperate. Just now he picked his throat more than once, trying to spit out the elixir, but he just didn't spit it out.

Now, if he wanted to survive, he had to find something to induce vomiting.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Tell me what will happen if you take that pill. I can ask the imperial doctor to induce vomiting for you."

Monk Hu hurriedly said: "If you take this elixir, you will gradually become weak and weak. After seven days at most, your lifespan will continue to decrease until you are bedridden, and you will die soon after three to five days." .”

After hearing what Monk Hu said, Li Shimin was afraid for a while.The elixir of immortality is clearly a life-threatening poison.If he hadn't come to his senses, he probably still felt that he could live forever!
He got the answer he wanted, but Li Shimin did not tell the imperial doctor to induce Hu Seng to vomit, but ordered the guards to never allow Hu Seng to go out of this door again.

Amid Monk Hu's miserable begging for mercy, Li Shimin walked out of the courtyard with a dark face.

Li Ke was at the door, and when he saw his father coming out, he knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he could only bite the bullet and wait.

Seeing Li Ke, Li Shimin didn't get angry.

"Come with me."

After speaking, Li Shimin walked forward first.

Although Li Ke couldn't figure it out, he could only follow behind his father.

The father and son walked out of the eunuch's courtyard and returned to the front of the main hall of Jiucheng Palace.

The originally bright red steps had been cleaned, and at this time a group of eunuchs and court ladies were spraying the ground with diluted perfume.

Although the perfume smelled fragrant, it couldn't cover up the bloody smell of human blood.

Walking up the steps, Li Shimin turned around and asked Li Ke in the middle of the walk: "Li Ke, I ask you, what do you think of the position of the emperor?"

Hearing this question, Li Ke's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

Asking this question at this point in time, he really couldn't guess what the father meant.

Recalling what Master said, "Telling the truth may be hated by people, but it can make people feel sincere." Li Ke can only say: "In the past, my son thought it was very cool to be an emperor, and I also fantasized about being an emperor with great power in my hands. The world gives and takes. However, after following the master for a long time, especially after finding something I like, I feel that being an emperor is the same thing. Compared with ordinary people, the emperor is often involuntary. It's a bit miserable"

Speaking of this, Li Ke hurriedly said: "Father, please forgive me, my son is lying."

Li Shimin shook his head and continued to walk up.

"You're right. Being an emperor is often involuntary. Those who have never been an emperor will never know the hardships of being an emperor. It is said that the emperor has great power and is No. 1 in the world, but so what? After all, he’s just a mortal, haha.”

Li Ke knew that his father was very upset at this time, but he really didn't know how to persuade him.

It was his younger brother who rebelled, and it was not appropriate to plead for mercy or to ask for a heavier punishment, and he could only stay out of it.

The father and son walked up the steps, and the alchemy furnace that stood here had been carried away, leaving only a circle of scorched black, as if mocking Li Shimin's ignorance.

Seeing the scorched black, Li Shimin felt disgusted.

"Li Ke, go down and tell me, let's go back to Chang'an tomorrow!"

After leaving Chang'an for so long, Li Shimin felt it was time to go back.

Li Ke nodded, went down and ordered the staff to prepare to move back to Chang'an.

Despite such a major incident as usurping the throne, the surrounding area of ​​Jiucheng Palace, whether it is Changsun Wuji's manpower, or Baiqisi and Qianniuwei, are all calm.

Everything has to wait for the emperor's order.

Whether it is the conviction within Baiqi Division or the treatment of these assassins.

At night, as soon as Leng Feng woke up, he was called by Li Shimin to have dinner.

I don't know why this guy is still in the mood to eat at this time, Leng Feng has no choice but to go to the banquet.

This dinner was a bit rich, but the participants were a bit messy.

Li Shimin is here, Li Ke is here, Changsun Wuji is here, what confuses Leng Feng the most is that Li Zhi and Zhang Wen are also here.

Li Zhi, whose face was swollen on both sides, was in handcuffs, and he seemed to be in a bad mood sitting there.

There was no way, the two vicious members of the Baiqi Division stood on both sides of him with their knives out of their sheaths, as if he would cut him down if he made a slight movement.

Finding a seat and sitting down, Leng Feng looked at Li Shimin, waiting for him to speak.

Turning his head to look at Leng Feng, Li Shimin said: "Guo Hugong, if you hadn't made me wake up, I'm afraid I'd be sick by now, and I owe you again."

After speaking, Li Shimin held a wine glass and respected Leng Feng from afar.

Leng Feng could only pick up the wine glass and drink with Li Shimin.

After drinking, Li Shimin looked at Zhang Wen and said in a low voice, "Zhang Wen, are you guilty?"

Zhang Wen, who was sitting, immediately stood up, left the seat and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, please punish me!"

The Baiqisi under the emperor was actually infiltrated, and there were so many traitors. As the supreme leader, Zhang Wen naturally had to bear the primary responsibility.

Normally, such a crime is enough to lose one's head.

Although he knew that his head would not be safe when he learned that there was a ghost in Baiqisi, Zhang Wen still insisted on fulfilling Li Shimin's various orders, and insisted on pleading guilty after the matter was over.

Li Shimin sighed: "Get up, although you are guilty, but you have followed me for many years, and I don't know how many times you have sold your life. How can I deal with you? Tomorrow, you will hand over the power of the leader and go home to take care of you." Bar."

Hearing the emperor's arrangement, Zhang Wen's eyes couldn't help getting wet.

As the emperor's confidant, Baiqisi must face a big purge after such a thing happened. At this time, the emperor deprived him of his power and let him take care of his performance.

"The minister takes orders."

After kowtowing again, Zhang Wencai stood up. To Leng Feng, this banquet was a thank-you banquet, but to him, it was a resignation banquet.

After arranging Zhang Wen, Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji: "Although Zhao Guogong came late to rescue him, he took action after all. I don't know what kind of reward Zhao Guogong wants?"

In the past, with the friendship between the emperor and Changsun Wuji, there was never any direct reward.Nowadays, these words sounded wrong to people.

Changsun Wuji left the table and cupped his hands, without changing his face, he said: "The servant came too late to save him, His Majesty did not punish him, he has already taken care of the servant, how dare the servant ask for rewards again."

Sitting next to Leng Feng, Li Ke couldn't help but whispered: "This old fox is really good at pretending. I admire his face, how thick it is."

Leng Feng tapped Li Ke with his toe, signaling him to shut up.

This banquet is full of weirdness everywhere, and it is most suitable to watch honestly as a bystander.
