In anger, Li Yuan directly arranged for someone to pass the decree, calling Li Shentong into the palace. After the order was conveyed, Li Shentong entered the palace in less than a quarter of an hour.
There was no worry on Li Shentong's face.
He had long forgotten about making trouble.
After Li Shentong saw Li Yuan, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Li Yuan's ashen face. For a while, Li Shentong didn't know what happened, so he said, "My subject, Li Shentong, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Li Yuan grabbed the memorials presented by Du Qi successively, threw them directly at Li Shentong, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Shentong, look at the good things you have done, again and again, and you still don't stop. Target Du Qi. Tell me why you hinder Du Qi from building the road."
Li Shentong's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.
Unexpectedly, this happened again.
Originally, Li Shentong had forgotten about this incident. After all, Qin Li was killed before, and Li Shentong just arranged for someone to reprimand him, so Li Shentong didn't care about it.
Li Shentong picked up the letter, and there were three more memorials, all of which mentioned that there were troubles in three places, which caused problems in road construction, and Du Qi suppressed them forcefully and detained the troublemakers.
Everyone who belonged to Li Shentong was taken down.
It has not been sent to Chang'an for the time being.
All are controlled by Du Qi.
After Li Shentong saw this, he knew that the people he sent out would definitely not be able to deny it.
However, Li Shentong was not afraid. He raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I am against Du Qi is because Du Qi is too arrogant and domineering. Back then, when the people in my house went to propose marriage, I hoped to facilitate the marriage between my granddaughter and Du Qi, but the Du family refused. Therefore, I am not angry with Du Qi, but I want to make Du Qi an enemy."
"Hahaha¡¡"
After Li Yuan heard it, he laughed back angrily.
Laughed out of anger at Li Shentong's reason. If it was the first time Du Qi presented the memorial, Li Shentong had said such a reason, Li Yuan might have chosen to believe it.
One after another, Li Yuan didn't believe it anymore, simply refusing the marriage would not be like this. After all, getting married is what you want and what you want, not wishful thinking.
Li Shentong saw Li Yuan laughing, especially when it was a mocking smile, Li Shentong frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, I just can't understand Du Qi, even if your Majesty reprimands me, I will admit it."
Li Yuan stared at Li Shentong with a gloomy gaze.
Do not answer the call.
Do not ask questions.
Such a scene made Li Shentong even more at a loss. For a while, he was not sure how Li Yuan would deal with him today. Such a result made Li Shentong start to panic in his heart.
Li Shentong took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, I really did it because I saw that Du Qi was uncomfortable. There is absolutely no other meaning."
Li Yuan still didn't answer.
Under such circumstances, Li Shentong panicked even more.
Li Shentong simply stopped talking.
It is good to be cautious in words and actions.
After a long time, Li Yuan finally spoke. He said coldly: "Li Shentong, if you find Du Qi uncomfortable, it's fine once or twice. Three times or four times, do you think I will believe it?"
Li Shentong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. You don't want to tell the truth, and I don't bother to ask."
"In view of your actions, I reprimanded you earlier to remind you. But you have committed crimes again and again knowingly, disregarding the overall situation of the court, and wantonly making trouble for the court."
"The military in the Shandong area is temporarily handed over to Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhaojun."
"You stay in court."
Li Yuan directly punished him.
Although the previous Li Shentong was in Chang'an, he actually had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. The direct army under Li Shentong's command is still stationed on the front line of Shandong and is responsible for the entire situation in Shandong.
This is the reason why Li Shentong has a certain status in the army. Now, Li Yuan wants to weaken Li Shentong's military power, which makes Li Shentong panic.
Li Shentong regretted it.
If he had known this before, he would never have gotten involved in the struggle for the heir apparent, he would just stay in Shandong honestly, why bother to find a reason to return to the court to make fun of himself.
Li Yuan's eyes were burning, and he said, "Li Shentong, do you remember?"
"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty!"
Li Shentong confessed directly, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, looking panicked. As a follower of Li Yuan's army, Li Shentong understood Li Yuan's nature, so Li Shentong was ready to play the sad card in times of crisis.
He is unwilling to lose his military power.
This is his foundation.
If he loses his military power, he will lose his influence in the court and his prestige in the clan.
Li Yuan said coldly: "What is your crime, Li Shentong? As the king of Huai'an County, you can do things willfully, regardless of the situation of the court, and do things unscrupulously."
"How could you be guilty?"
"What you said is insincere! What's more, you clearly hold an important position on your shoulders, serving as the Hebei Daoxingtai, comforting Shandong, and responsible for the stability of Shandong's front line."
"But you took advantage of the fact that after the Hebei Road war ended, you left government affairs and returned to the court. Since you don't like being outside, then come back. It's good to serve in the court."
Li Yuan's words were thorny, which made Li Shentong very uneasy.
Li Shentong was extremely panicked, he didn't want to stay in Chang'an forever. That's why Li Shentong stayed in Chang'an because he had to deal with Du Qi and the Qin Palace. He still wanted to go to Shandong.
Li Shentong shouted: "Your Majesty, I have made a mistake. I have made a mistake. I implore Your Majesty to show mercy."
Li Yuan said: "Tell me, what's going on."
Li Shentong changed his mind, and said decisively: "Your Majesty, this is the order of the crown prince. The crown prince said that if he came forward to deal with Du Qi, he would be reprimanded by his majesty and let the old minister come forward. That's why the old minister repeated it again and again. For Du Qi, specifically to make trouble for Du Qi, I hope Du Qi can't complete the road transformation. All this is the order of the prince!"
At the critical moment, Li Shentong faltered.
Push all the responsibilities on Li Jiancheng.
"Asshole, asshole, it really is this villain. On the surface, he is obedient and obedient. On the surface, he said to reconcile with the Du family, and he is not dealing with Du Qi anymore. He still doesn't give up."
Li Yuan's anger at this moment was like a volcano erupting, completely angry.
Du Qi turned to the court with all his heart.
Even, in order to build the road from Chang'an to Lantian County, Du Qi didn't care about personal losses. The so-called commercial tax on the road from Lantian County to Chang'an, but many merchants may not pass by, after all, there are still waterways to pass through.
In addition to such a fee, it must not be too high. It will take a long time to earn all the money spent. So in Li Yuan's view, Du Qi's road construction this time was a loss-making business, and it was a road construction that did not count losses.
This is a person with a big heart who is dedicated to the public and the country.
However, Li Jiancheng didn't give up, he wanted to be an enemy of Du Qi everywhere, and wanted to put Du Qi to death.
Li Yuan's anger finally broke out unstoppably. In fact, Li Yuan had guessed before. After all, Li Shentong's reason was untenable, so Li Yuan had guessed but didn't say it out, and only now forced to ask.
Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and said, "Li Shentong, return to your post immediately."
"The minister obeys the order!"
After Li Shentong heard it, he was relieved.
Anyway, escaped unharmed.
He didn't dare to stay any longer, stood up and hurriedly exited. Just when Li Shentong was about to step out of the entrance of the main hall, he heard Li Yuan's roar in the main hall and the voice of summoning the prince.
Li Shentong shook his head and sighed, he could only wish the prince good luck. Because he is too busy to take care of himself now, he can't control Li Jiancheng, he can only ensure his own safety first. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
