Chapter 691

He gave Li Tai another push from behind.

This time, everything depended on Li Tai.

Hopefully, this brat would not be stupid again.

Li Tai was not stupid.

He also kept a trick up his sleeve.

He did not tell Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji the method Qin Mu had taught him for cheating in the imperial examination.

He would not let Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji go and bribe the noble families; such a good method was naturally kept for himself to use after he returned.

Three days later.

The public execution of pirates on the riverbank north of the city caused a sensation throughout the city.

Many commoners had never seen Japanese people.

They came specifically to see something new.

"You say, the Japanese are so small, like children, how can they be so cruel?"

"I suppose the Japanese islands are full of treacherous mountains and foul waters, which is why they breed such unruly people!"

"I heard the Prince of Wei is personally handling the execution. It seems the court attaches great importance to this execution."

"That's right, dare to provoke our Celestial Empire, we must kill the chicken to warn the monkey!"

The public execution of the Japanese pirates stirred up the commoners' shared hatred for the enemy.

Unexpectedly, it gained the Tang court quite a bit of praise.

Li Er looked at the commoners below, who were filled with righteous indignation, and could not help but feel a bit proud.

Whoever could play with public opinion in the palm of their hand could rule the world!

The time had not yet arrived.

Li Tai came to Li Er's side and whispered a few words.

Li Er was suddenly very moved and patted Li Tai's head.

"Qingque, that you can have this heart, Father is very gratified. After the execution here, you should go." Li Tai bowed and saluted.

"Your son will convey Father's longing to Mother! I will strive to persuade Mother to return soon!" After saying this, he turned and went to the execution platform.

His fat body made his movements appear somewhat laborious.

Li Er looked at Li Tai's chubby figure, his eyes full of kindness, feeling deeply moved.

He finally had an imperial prince who was affectionate, considered the big picture, and could assist in governing the world! His old heart was greatly comforted! ===== CHAPTER 693 =====
