"Just now, that was really His Royal Highness the King of Shu..."
"How decent! How decent is this!"
"Assaulting the prince is treasonous and lawless!"
…
…
Fighting in the palace, the target of the beating was a prince, a prince who was very sensitive in terms of identity and status.
This is the first of its kind since the founding of Jingguo, counting up to the Emperor Taizu, there has never been such a bad incident in the palace for decades.
The officials close to the king of Shu looked shocked and angry, and all of them were filled with righteous indignation, wishing to cut Li Yi into pieces.
In recent days, King Shu's reputation in the court has declined, and he lost face in front of His Majesty and even hundreds of officials. Fortunately, he doesn't care about the little face he lost. The guard carried it away, what face is there
Even if His Highness ascends the throne in the future, today's period may not be erased in the history books.
Although the rest of the officials were not so angry, the rumors about Li Xianzi and the King of Shu in recent days could not help appearing in their minds.
Li Xianzi was so frightened and sick by the King of Shu's few words
Worried about liquidating with the King of Shu after he ascended the throne
fart!
This is simply nonsense. Looking at the way he savagely beat the King of Shu just now, is he as cowardly as the rumors say
That kind of madness and cruelty, they still feel a little chills in their hearts when they think about it now. The shadow of today, the King of Shu will probably never forget it for the rest of his life.
Li Yi could neither hear nor see the uproar of the officials and the frightened gazes of the surrounding guards. The surrounding sounds seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier.
Because of the heavy exercise just now, his chest heaved slightly, but he didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his eyes passed over the palace guards surrounding him, and landed on that small figure.
Seeing that silly but extremely kind little face again, Li Yi felt the joy and ease he had never had before, and smiled again.
But with such a warm smile, the guards around felt a chill in their hearts.
After beating the king of Shu like this, does he know what is waiting for him
Under such circumstances, you can still laugh, this Li Xianzi—could he be crazy!

In Yannian Hall, Emperor Jing had just taken the medicine and was lying on the slump, ready to rest for half an hour before getting up to review important memorials.
The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Office advised him many times not to overwork him, otherwise it would only make his condition worse. Emperor Jing, who never cared about this advice, finally realized after what happened last time that his body It's really not as good as before.
After just going to court for a while, he felt a little tired, so he could only sigh secretly, temporarily put all the troubles behind him, and rest for a while.
"Your Majesty just fell asleep. If you have anything to do, please wait until His Majesty wakes up!"
"We really have an urgent matter, please inform Your Majesty!" The eunuch guarding the door and two palace guards got into an argument over something.
"Shut up!" Chang De's figure floated beside them at some point, and said coldly.
"Director Chang." The two guards hurriedly saluted.
Chang De looked at the two of them and said calmly: "What happened, tell me."
There are imperial guards in the palace, so what big event can happen, as long as the rebels do not attack the imperial city, nothing can compare to His Majesty's body.
Seeing Manager Chang speak, a guard immediately said: "Return to Manager Chang, Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, and Li Xuan's son beat His Highness the King of Shu just now in the palace. His Highness the King of Shu was seriously injured and has been sent to the Imperial Medical Office. We Li Xianzi and His Highness Shizi have been taken down now, waiting for His Majesty to dispose of them!"
The indifferent look on Chang De's face disappeared, and he looked at the guard suddenly, "What did you say, say it again!"
…
…
After His Majesty the Emperor said, "If there is something to play, and if there is nothing to do", it does not mean that all the officials can pat their butts and go home, find their own mothers, and beat their children.
Usually, after the court is dismissed, most officials still have to return to their posts to continue working. They have something to do, and they have a small meeting when they have nothing to do.
But today is different.
Three provinces, six ministries and twenty-four divisions, many officials were not busy with their affairs, and gathered together in twos and threes, talking in low voices.
"Have you heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu was besieged in the palace today!" A gossiping servant from the Ministry of Industry said something mysteriously when pouring water.
"What?"
"No way, this is the imperial palace, how could His Royal Highness the King of Shu..."
The two principals who heard this sentence were taken aback, and immediately came over.
The servant glanced around, but he didn't see Mr. Shang Shu, so he immediately felt relieved, and described what he saw on the road next to him with more details.
For a while, exclamations were heard in the duty room, and the officials who were far away also put down their work and cast puzzled and curious eyes.
The imperial palace is the most heavily guarded place in this country. It has been flat for decades, like a calm lake, and there are very few big news.
The calmer the lake is, the bigger the ripples will be when a boulder is thrown in.
Because that incident happened when hundreds of officials were in court, the tragic situation of His Highness the King of Shu was witnessed by countless people, and one layer of ripples could easily become layers of ripples.
"Have you heard that His Highness the King of Shu was besieged in the palace!"
"It was Li Xianzi and Li Xuan Shizi who did it. Even His Royal Highness Shu Wang dared to beat them. They are really daring!"
"You all know about the King of Shu and Li Xianzi, right? It seems that because the King of Shu persecuted Li Xianzi too much, what is there to be afraid of? It is said that if the guards in the palace hadn't discovered it early, Shu Wang was beaten to death today!"
"No, no, how did I hear that His Royal Highness the King of Shu had a quarrel with the son of Li Xuan, and was surrounded and beaten by the two of them. After all, everyone knows that the King of Shu has been plotting against the Wang family for a long time, but he did not expect to be attacked by Li Xuan at a critical moment." The prince stepped in, met in the palace today, and started a fight if there was a disagreement, but the king of Shu is not as good as others..., I heard that he is still in the imperial medical office, and his life and death are unknown!"
…
…
Li Mingze, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood at the door and coughed. Several whispering officials looked back, their complexions suddenly changed, and they immediately returned to their original positions, pretending to go about their business.
That Mr. Li County is the nephew of Mr. Shi Lang, so you must not mention this matter here.
A trace of deep worry flashed in Li Mingze's eyes. This time, Li Yi really caused a great disaster. Let alone him, no one can intervene in this matter except His Majesty.
"This little guy has always acted calmly, why is he so reckless this time?"
Outside the Hall of Qinzheng, several veterans gathered together, seeing Li Yi and Li Xuan being brought in by the guards, their brows were deeply frowned.
Although fighting in the palace is a serious crime, let alone beating the prince, this is different from the express law. It is up to His Majesty to decide whether to behead Ling Chi or beat a few boards to lightly expose it.
Fortunately, based on what they knew about His Majesty, it was impossible to behead him. His Majesty valued him so much, so he would not be held accountable for it. What's more, this matter involved Prince Li Xuan, so it would be even harder to punish him.
However, all the officials in the court were on the spot, under the eyes of everyone, and in front of so many people, the two beat the King of Shu so miserably, and it was not easy to expose it.
The officials of the King of Shu will not miss this opportunity, and neither will the censors. The imperial concubine is even more difficult...
In short, this time, he is afraid that he will suffer a lot.
This day is a very ordinary day for the common people in Kyoto. The only regret is that it may be cloudy in the morning. They thought there would be a heavy rain to relieve the heat, but they didn’t expect it to clear up before noon. Don't think about cooling off for a few days.
However, the families of those officials and lords with a little bit of status were quite shaken by a certain news from the palace.
