Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 563 When Will the Bloody Storm End?
The moment Master Yuwen appeared in front of Li Yuan, everyone knew what was going on, but what could they do?
As the eldest son of the Guanlong Family, Li Yuan’s success was inseparable from his support. He gave him people and money when he asked for them, and according to seniority, he had to call him uncle.

If a person like this comes up to you and kneels down in front of you, what can you do?
At this time, someone who was not afraid of talking came out and said: Hey, he is just an old man. You, Li Yuan, are the emperor. Are you afraid of such an old man?

Are you kidding? Even if three thousand other old men were stacked together, they would not be able to shake Li Yuan, but this old man was just an ordinary old man? Not to mention driving him away, even if he said a few harsh words today, he would have a hard time in the future.

Being an emperor is difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that there are so many things an emperor can do but so few things he can accomplish. Now that the old master is kneeling here in this posture, it is like someone is showing a knife. Although he said nothing, it is tantamount to pointing at Li Yuan's head and scolding him: "Li Gouzi! Today I ask you, do you still want to manage the Eight Families of Guanlong?"

What could Li Yuan do? He could only quickly walk up to the old master and help him up, respectfully kicking him and pretending to be confused: "Master, what's going on?!"

Yuwen Taishi held Li Yuan's hand and refused to get up. Li Yuan was really panicking. He quickly knelt down in front of the Taishi and said, "Taishi, why are you like this?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Suddenly, the old master got into a dramatic mood and began to act wildly: "Deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son is against the law! Your Majesty. Since ancient times, deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son will eventually sow the seeds of disaster for the dynasty, and you... and you, Shude... Shude... I gave you the name Shude. Where is your virtue, your virtue as an emperor. In order to let your daughter take power, you actually condoned her to kill innocent people like this. You have such a cruel heart, Shude."

Li Yuan's expression had changed. He slowly stood up and stood in front of the desk for a while, as if he was calming down. After a while, Li Yuan turned around and said, "Grandmaster, you watched me grow up. My father passed away early, and you took care of me like your son or nephew. I will never forget this kindness. But today, I hope you can consider the overall situation."

"Shude, those people are all your brothers..."

"Brothers? What brothers." Li Yuan waved his sleeves and said, "Grandmaster, you were not in Chang'an City earlier, so you don't know the full situation. I don't know where you heard the news from. My handling of these people has nothing to do with whether Sanniang is in power or not."

At this point, Li Yuan waved his sleeves and pointed angrily, his voice like tearing silk: "The smoke from the top of Chang'an City is burning the backbones of their ancestors! The wealthy families who eat Tang millet and wear Tang brocade are actually leading the Turkic cavalry to the flesh and blood walls of the elders. The carved railings and jade masonry of Weiyang Palace and West Street are all made of the bones and marrow of the people. But for the sake of power and selfishness, they want to let the Hu knives cut open the chest of this royal capital!"

"Look, Grand Master, the city outside the window is prosperous, the population is thriving, and the market is full. But if the Turks come, all you will see are babies crying on Zhuque Street being crushed by horses' hooves, and koi in Qujiang Pond drinking the blood of Tang people. When they are flattering in the tent of the Turkic Khan, do they remember that they are brothers of me, Li Yuan?"

At this moment, the Grand Tutor pursed his lips but said nothing, while Li Yuan sneered at the sky: "What do you mean by a thousand-year-old foundation of a powerful family? Is this how it came about? Grand Tutor, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Even if Sanniang does not take action today, I will still do it. The brothers you mentioned have never taken me seriously. The family emblem of the Five Surnames and Seven Families is still stained with the blood of the uprising in Chang'an. In order to force Tian Wei to leave Luoyang, we borrowed troops from Shibi Khan in order to save the people of the Central Plains from war. Who would have thought that this expedient measure would become their ancestral motto of drinking poison to quench thirst!"

Li Yuan was so excited at this moment that he even shook the pillars of the hall until they dropped dust.

"Master."

At this time, Li Yuan's voice gradually lowered, and he came to the old master and knelt on one knee in front of him: "I will never forget the name you gave me. If even the master thinks that the Hu people's cavalry should be trampled over by the emperor, then it doesn't matter if I am not qualified to be the emperor. However, I am not talented enough to hold the imperial seal in my hand. After all, I am not legitimate. Please find someone else to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

The old master raised his head slightly and couldn't help but sighed: "Are they really like this?"

“Hahahaha…really?”

Li Yuan walked to the table and picked up a list. This was the list of traitors to the enemy collected by Xia Lin. All of the people on the list were pillars of the country, all of them were relatives of his children, and all of them were founding heroes of his Tang Dynasty.

And there was not only a list of names, but also a detailed list of enemy supplies and transportation routes behind the list, and even the secret letter they wrote to Ashina Khan was attached to it. Every word and sentence in the letter was like a scimitar that stuck in the old master's heart.

"Master, did you see that? I am only killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Don't they understand what they did?"

Having said this, Li Yuan stood up again, his voice becoming a little hoarse: "Grandmaster, don't let me deceive you."

At this moment, Master Yuwen didn't know what to say. He originally wanted to tell Li Yuan not to pass the throne to his daughter in a moment of confusion.

But who would have known that after all this confusion, Li Yuan became the one who was right, and the shocking list was in his hands. Those secret letters could not be forged, and a quick glance at the contents inside was enough to make people tremble with anger.

Compared with what these people have done, the current uproar and arrests of people in the city seem not so important. Li Yuan did not directly set fire to the people on the list and drag all the people here to Zhuque Street to kill them.

Of course, these traitors are hateful, but does Li Yuan really have no responsibility at all? Actually, not really. You have to know that the root of this matter is really Li Yuan. In the past, this group of people played with foreign tribes at best, smuggling goods or raising enemies for their own benefit, and they could not play on such a large scale and have such an impact.

The first person to turn this private matter into a major event in the world was Li Yuan.

It has been more than 20 years since Li Yuan used this trick to lure the Turks into the pass, and then he repeatedly forced Tian Wei to move the capital from Luoyang to Jinling. This is the foundation for Li Yuan to have what he has today.

At that time, Tian Wei didn't say anything. In order to avoid disputes, Emperor Hongbao retreated across the river and preserved Tian Wei's dignity for twenty years.

But now the same thing has happened to Li Yuan. It is no longer a question of dignity or not. It is simply a cycle of fate.

But the problem is that Li Yuan is now the emperor of Li Tang. He can do such things, but others cannot do it to him. And what Li Yuan did in his early years was the result of the advice of his Grand Master Yuwen.

Now Li Yuan told him this from another perspective, basically pointing at Master Yuwen's nose and saying, "Look at the good things you did back then, and now the same thing is happening to me. Tian Wei can still move the capital, but where do you want me to move to?"

"Someone, help the old master to go to the bedroom to rest."

The eunuch stepped forward to help Master Yuwen, but he refused. The old man slowly stood up, sighed and walked behind Li Yuan: "Shude, I am old... useless, and I don't want to see my own family fighting each other."

"Master, I understand in my heart. But can I really blame the child for this?"

Even at this point, Li Yuan was still extremely respectful to him, and it was hard to find fault with him.

"We used this method against Tian Wei back then and won. Indeed, I am quite happy. Now someone uses the same method against me. If I really cannot defeat him, I will accept it and even praise them for their good method."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at the old man: "Grand Master said that I deposed the eldest son and enthroned the youngest son. Grand Master, let me make it clear to you here. This is not to depose the eldest son and enthroned the youngest son, but Jiancheng is not up to the task. My dear teacher..."

He was a classic old-school actor. He turned around and bowed deeply. When he stood up, his eyes were filled with tears. "I regard my mentor as a kind father. Now in this study, there is no monarch or subject, only father and son. As a son, I want to say something from the bottom of my heart to my mentor. Children need to be tempered. If Jiancheng can take on this training, he will be able to be of great use. If he can't, how can I trust him with the Tang Dynasty?"

Master Yuwen held Li Yuan's hands tightly and said, "Shude, it's really not easy for you."

"What father in the world would harm his own children?" Li Yuan raised his head, tears gathered on his cheeks and chin, and then dripped onto the ground: "If Jiancheng is immoral and incompetent, what will happen even if he ascends the throne? Will he die like the second emperor of Qin? But if it is Sanniang, Jiancheng can live a peaceful life even if he is immoral and incompetent. Dear teacher, you are over 80 years old, and I am over 60 years old. Time is unforgiving. Shude is no longer the child you hold in your arms, but a father and grandfather."

After these words, Master Yuwen burst into tears. The old fox, who was in his eighties, was made to burst into tears by the use of family ties. He was supported and left in tears.

Li Yuan watched him leave, wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, a sneer appeared on his face, then he sat back in his seat, supported his chin with one hand, looked at the empty study, and his brows gradually frowned.

But after a while he laughed and shook his head helplessly: "Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng, you really disappoint your father."

From the beginning till now, Sanniang's performance really impressed Li Yuan. She handled the situation very well, and Li Yuan was satisfied with it. On the other hand, Li Jiancheng...

It’s hard to see it all at a glance.

Moreover, this kid should not have brought out the old master who should have been enjoying his retirement. The old man is almost 90 years old, and today he knelt in front of him. Li Yuan's head was almost flushed with blood. If it weren't for his acting skills, he would have fooled the old man. Who knows what kind of chaos would have happened...

Li Jiancheng! What a jerk.
