Chapter 2722 I was wrong
As Li Shen spoke, he kept an eye on Li Zhi's expression. Seeing that Li Zhi's expression was getting increasingly unpleasant, Li Shen felt satisfied.
"Li Shen, don't go too far. Do you think you're the only one who can serve the court?" Li Zhi pointed at Li Shen.
"Otherwise what? You receive your salary and live a life of extravagance and debauchery, but have you ever thought that all this money comes from the people?"
You enjoy the offerings of the people, yet you have not done a single good deed for them. You are nothing but a bloodsucker clinging to the court, sucking the blood of the court, the blood of your parents, and the blood of all the people under heaven.
It wasn't easy for Father to save any money, and Mother had to do spinning and weaving to supplement the family income. Yet you took 800,000 strings of cash from the imperial treasury, and you still owe more than 500,000 strings. You're living off your parents' hard-earned money; you're sponging off your parents.
"You think you can fight for the throne? You want to be emperor? Bah! Don't even dream about it."
"Tenth Prince!" Just as Li Shen was about to say his last words, Li Shimin tried to stop him, but it was too late; Li Shen had already spoken his final words.
Li Shimin inwardly cried out in alarm. Just as he had expected, how could such a matter be brought up in public? Wouldn't this make the Crown Prince lose face as well?
What a vicious and unfilial son! He's trying to use someone else to do his dirty work.
"You dare to do this, you brat! I'll fight you to the death!" Li Zhi was embarrassed when Li Shen exposed his secret, and in desperation, he could only settle accounts with Li Shen.
He suddenly stood up and lunged at Li Shen, throwing a punch right in Li Shen's face.
Li Shen was prepared. He leaned back and flipped over, using the momentum to push off with both feet and land directly on Li Zhi's chest.
With a "thud," Li Zhi was kicked out and fell to the ground.
As Li Shen lazily rolled to his feet, he grabbed a chair and smashed it at Li Zhi.
"Tenth brother, you mustn't."
Li Chengqian shouted and grabbed Li Shen's chair, snatching it away.
"I'm going to kill you!" Li Zhi jumped up from the ground and tried to rush forward again, but Li Tai grabbed him.
"Zhi Nu, calm down, don't be impulsive, Father is still here."
The whole process was extremely fast, and both of them were stopped.
"Cough cough~~~ cough cough~~~~"
Li Shimin was so angry that his chest heaved and he coughed incessantly.
"Father, is Father alright?"
Upon seeing this, Li Chengqian and the others quickly stepped forward and inquired with concern.
"You two, get out of my sight and kneel down! Cough cough~~~"
Li Shimin broke free from Li Shen's grasp and roared at Li Shen and Li Zhi.
The two had no choice but to obediently kneel down on either side of each other.
"Your Highnesses, His Majesty must not be angry. This was specifically instructed by Physician Sun. If you wish to fight again, please do so outside."
"If I were to upset His Majesty and make him ill, this old servant would be greatly offended."
While patting Li Shimin's chest to soothe him, Wang De glanced coldly at Li Zhi.
He doesn't care whether you're a prince or not; His Majesty is his master.
"You two are too presumptuous!" Li Chengqian, trying to appease Li Shimin, poured tea while scolding the two men.
He glanced at Li Zhi, then at the nonchalant Li Shen, his brows furrowing. This tenth brother was truly dishonest.
He was deliberately provoking Li Zhi; you could tell from his actions that he was prepared.
Luckily, he reacted quickly; otherwise, Li Shen's blow would have either killed Li Zhi or crippled him.
Wasn't it said that Li Shen had never practiced martial arts? How come his movements just now were so smooth and fluid, he didn't seem like a novice at all?
“Father, you saw it too. He was the one who started it. I was just retaliating. It has nothing to do with me.”
Li Shen stared at his father with his big, watery eyes, looking pitiful.
He deliberately provoked Li Zhi, and his pointing out the truth was also intentional; it was a simple case of using someone else to do his dirty work.
If Li Chengqian had been half as ruthless as his father, Li Zhi would have suffered greatly.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear what you're saying right now." Li Shimin was furious when he saw Li Shen's expression.
This guy is cunning and ruthless; I was right.
This is clearly revenge against Li Zhi.
"Wang De, bring the family law," Li Shimin ordered.
"What? You brought the family rules with you? Why do you carry that thing around with you?" Li Shen trembled upon hearing about the family rules.
Good heavens, how come I carry this thing with me everywhere?
"Hmph, wherever you, Li Shen, are, there will be family rules," Li Shimin snorted.
"Huh? So the family rules were prepared just for me? In the future, besides the Emperor's Sword and the Imperial Seal, will Father also have the family rules with him?"
Li Shen was speechless. He wasn't some great villain, so why was he being targeted like this?
Do you think you're wielding a divine whip? Or a decree to reward good and punish evil?
"Heh, you're absolutely right. From now on, wherever you are, I'll be bringing the family law with me." Li Shimin sneered twice, leaving Li Shen speechless.
Wang De left quickly and returned quickly, bringing in a familiar wooden box.
Li Shen was very familiar with him; they had met a few days ago.
Upon opening the wooden box, one is immediately struck by the Li family's rules, which are quite artistic.
"Gao Ming, give him the beating." Li Shimin threw the family law to Li Chengqian.
"This... Father, how many times should I hit him?" Li Chengqian hesitated, holding the family discipline stick. He had never used it before. Although he was angry, he was still not used to hitting his two younger brothers.
"Beat them until they realize their mistake!" Li Shimin's words were concise: it was all about beating them.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and Wang De understood, summoning several eunuchs to press Li Shen and his companion into chairs.
The two of them knelt on the ground and lay on the chairs, exposing their buttocks.
"Bang! Bang!" Two loud thuds, Li Chengqian delivered one blow to each of them.
"Take off their pants!" Li Shimin frowned and gave the order as soon as he heard the voice.
When you're out having fun, these two are definitely dressed warmly, so they won't feel any pain even if you hit them.
"Hey, hey, don't! My butt's freezing! Leave me one of these."
Li Zhi didn't say a word, but Li Shen was shouting all the while, which almost made Li Shimin laugh in exasperation.
Forcing back a laugh, he said to Li Chengqian:
"Beat them hard, beat them until they realize they were wrong."
"Yes." Li Chengqian bowed and accepted the order. "You have been too presumptuous today. As your elder brother, I will teach you a lesson today."
After saying this, Li Chengqian raised the family law and first struck Li Zhi's buttocks hard, with continuous slapping sounds, and struck him ten times in a row.
Li Zhi remained silent, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth to endure it.
After beating Li Zhi, Li Chengqian turned around and came to Li Shen's side:
"It's your turn, tenth brother. Don't blame your elder brother; it's all your own fault."
After saying that, Li Chengqian still raised the family law high and was about to whip Li Shen's buttocks.
Li Shen shouted:
"Wait, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
