Chapter Eighty-Four: The Unfortunate Warrior Genius

  Li Yuanba couldn't have imagined that this majestic sea would actually be unable to take action, and even his subordinates wouldn't dare, finally bringing it directly from the imperial palace to his own mansion! What's the difference between this and the previous Su Daji? Is it true that the legendary Wu Zetian is a mythical figure who can't be killed by ordinary people?

  "I really don't believe it!" Li Yuan's muttering awakened Li Shimin from his contemplation.

  "What's going on here?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

  "Huang Kuohai and his men actually didn't kill that Wu Cairen! They said they couldn't bring themselves to do it, isn't this nonsense?! She's not even a Su Daji!" Li Yuanba's inquiring gaze was fixed on Li Shimin. By rights, Li Shimin should be a ruthless and decisive hero, how could he possibly really not dare to kill her just because of Longsun Empress's support?

  "That's because of your sister-in-law... Ah! Okay, this is just one of them, the biggest reason, hmm? How to say it? This woman seems to have a heavenly favor, beautiful like the most beautiful thing in a man's heart, and her talent and insight are also rarely seen! Such a woman shouldn't appear in this world!" Li Shimin admitted that he couldn't bear to part with her beauty, such a rare woman!

  But in Li Shimin's heart, it would be better if Li Yuanba killed him this time! Because there is also ** content involved here, Li Shimin has always had a knot in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it out loud!

  Just then, a servant came to report: "The Ninth Prince Li Zhi is leading many officials outside the mansion to plead for Wu Cairen, hoping that Your Excellency will consider the wishes of the people and not make things difficult for the innocent Wu Cairen!"

  "Li Zhi? Second brother, what's going on?! How could he plead for this woman?" Li Yuanba asked Li Shimin with a puzzled and excited tone.

  This doesn't mean that Li Yuanba has any other meaning, but this Li Zhi pleading for a talented person, how does it feel so similar to the subsequent development of orthodox history? This Li Shimin hasn't died yet, he's risking his life to openly defy the guardian god of the Tang Dynasty for this woman who stirred up trouble in the Tang Dynasty. The problem here is very deep! Li Yuanba now has a kind of illusion that he is sitting there watching history, this feeling is very strange, all three people who became emperors are gathered together!

  Li Shimin heard this and his face fell. He sighed several times, shaking his head without responding.

  Li Yuanba sat there with a very strange expression, thinking about something and waiting for Li Shimin's answer. This matter is not urgent!

  "Alas, this is something that no family can avoid, and the royal family is no exception!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth in anger! This was a man's greatest shame, to have been cuckolded by his own son, and yet he could still tolerate the existence of this woman...

  Li Yuanba rolled his eyes: "Don't drag me into this mess! There are countless beauties, and almost every year you hold a selection contest. It's because you can't take care of them that this kind of thing happens. You don't know how many things like this have happened before! But I heard rumors that most of these women also do that with eunuchs. Tell me about it." This kid is really bad!

  "How dare they!" Li Shimin slammed his fist on the table in rage, but retreated beautifully under Li Yuanba's mischievous smile.

  "Ah! This is also a common problem for emperors of all generations! Third brother, you also know that the frequent selection of imperial concubines is to make up for the deficiency. In fact, many of them were killed because of this matter, and most of them died in power struggles! The emperor himself can't even keep track of how many women are in the palace, so it's normal that they can't be taken care of properly. But what you're talking about isn't a big deal either. Besides, they can't do anything else anyway. I'm saying, third brother, why are you interested in these trivial matters?" In Li Shimin's eyes, those women and eunuchs who were no longer men doing those fake and pretentious things didn't count as real matters! How could this third brother love this kind of thing?

  "Get out! Don't look at me with that kind of eyes! I'm a decent person!" Li Yuanba was furious, these ancient people were really damn annoying. Who wouldn't be interested in this? Only they didn't care about it, for the sake of maintaining their so-called bloodline, women were just tools for them to have children!

  "What do you think of your son? Coming to my doorstep to protest, this is the first time in all these years!" Li Yuanba said, his tone a bit rude now!

  Li Yuanba's blunt words were naturally heard by Li Shimin, who was a clever person. However, the emperor was able to make connections: "Third brother, tell me the truth! Haven't you seen something again? Wu Zetian is just a woman with some beauty, why did you react so strongly back then? Is it because my son and this woman have something that will harm the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin still had lingering fears about Gao Yang's death, and he wouldn't be at ease until he got a true answer.

  "Hmph! Second brother, are you still resenting me? Alright, don't say anything else! This matter has already been settled by me long ago! However, I am not the emperor, and nothing can be done to the children below before my death. But as for this Li Zhi, I also cannot make any conclusions about her. Yet, you are reluctant to take action against this woman, what do you think will happen in the future? Su Daji was at most a demon who brought chaos to the world, but this woman is definitely a more formidable disaster than Lü Hou, one that can change the dynasty! From your son's actions, it can be seen that he is either an accomplice or an indirect accomplice! Summon Xiong Kuohai, I want to hear his opinion about this woman!" Li Yuanba didn't say anything else and directly called for Xiong Kuohai. These are all top-notch masters who shouldn't be disturbed by any power, so why can't they take action?

  "Your Highness, Your Majesty! I am ashamed to say that this woman is very special. According to our speculation, she should be a heavenly beauty, born with the highest level of charm and allure. Her body has reached the peak of seductive power, having an irresistible attraction to men! Moreover, when she is intimate with someone, she absorbs their life essence to increase her own lifespan! The more partners she has, the stronger her absorption ability becomes, ultimately allowing her to live up to 300 years! Furthermore, this charm also has a significant impact on those of the same sex, making it an almost mythical and enchanting technique. Currently, her abilities have already reached the point where she can enthrall all living beings... I am powerless..."

  "Hmm! You go and bring the 9th prince from outside the mansion, along with that woman. I want to see what charm this woman has, that makes even a hero like Xiong Kuohai reluctant to take action!" Li Yuanba rarely indulged his subordinates like this!

  Xiong Kuai Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead and retreated with a bow, indicating that Li Yuanba was very dissatisfied with him. He had never seen a woman behave like this before!

  When bringing up Li Zhi, who was already filled with regret, and Wu Zetian, a woman with some confidence in her heart, Li Yuanba carefully sized up the legendary female emperor of later generations - Wu Zetian!

  Li Yuanba looked left and right, isn't this just a beautiful woman with ambition in her eyes!

  Li Yuanba was taken aback and looked around, only to see that even Li Shimin, who had been in close contact with Wu Zai for over a decade, had a dazed look in his eyes!

  "Cough! Cough!" Li Yuanba's cough, filled with true energy, made these people feel as if they had been trampled by an elephant, extremely painful, and suddenly came back to their senses.

  "Damn it! A bunch of useless people! It's this woman who made you all like this, if the heavenly maiden descended to earth, would you all go and fart in someone else's face!" Li Yuanba was so angry at these incompetent people that he even scolded Li Shimin together with them!

  Looking at Li Yuanba who was furious, no one dared to retort, this scolding was too severe! However, in his heart he thought: "If it's really a heavenly maiden descending to the mortal world, I'll acknowledge it!"

  "Li Zhi! You rascal, do you know that adultery in our Great Tang Dynasty is punishable by drowning in a pig cage?! Look at your current state, for the sake of an ordinary woman, where will you put your father's face?!" Li Yuanba scolded loudly.

  But this sentence blew up the pot for the people below! "Adultery?!" These two words had never appeared in their minds before...

  Li Zhi, as the prince, asking his father's concubine to plead on his behalf is normal, after all they both recognize that Wu Zetian's literary and artistic talents make all the talented scholars in the world feel ashamed, and she is also the current emperor's most favored concubine, with the title of imperial consort just around the corner! Li Zhi wanting to curry favor and invest early is also normal, but this is beyond people's expectations, this isn't investment, it's clearly risking one's life to save his lover! And this lover is even his nominal mother, the concept of "incest" suddenly falls on these two people's heads, and the people who followed Li Zhi to plead for mercy all turned green with regret, isn't this a bottomless pit?!

  The pillow talk at any time is the most effective, but this investment really threw it into the toilet!

  Li Yuanba was also very embarrassed after scolding, it would have been better to just kill him directly, too many words lead to losses, really not a single exception! Originally Li Yuanba still wanted to change his style, got it! This time it's really the style that has gone to grandma's house...

  Li Zhi and Wu Zai suddenly lost their composure. How did Li Yuan know about this secretive matter? The two looked up at Li Shimin, lamenting in their hearts: "How can he not consider the face of the imperial family! This is treachery!"

  The people present were first stunned and then turned pale, such a secret was not to be heard in public! A pit, a pit that could decide the end of one's life!

  "Li Zhi! You little scoundrel, you've ruined me! Even in death, I won't forgive you!" This was Li Zhi's main wife Wang's father. He knew he couldn't escape death. But his good friend, who had been summoned by him, also seemed to have a short life span. In desperation, he stood up and scolded Li Zhi loudly. After scolding, he drew out the sword at his waist and took his own life. He knew that even in death, he couldn't be a pawn for Li Yuanba, so he could only take out his anger on this disloyal and unfilial Li Zhi!

  Later, a group of people succeeded in their suicide, Wu Cai Ren brought his charm to the extreme, just to keep himself alive, if he could influence Li Yuanba even better, who knows, he might still have a place in history, otherwise, he can only blame himself for being born at the wrong time.
