Zhang Shougui's major defeat was already destined.

But when he, bound hand and foot, was brought before Li Shimin, he was completely dumbfounded. He actually lost to this inept ruler?

"Impossible!"

Zhang Shougui's eyes were about to burst.

"How can this lustful and clueless ruler be my adversary? This is impossible!"

Li Shimin couldn't be bothered to speak with him.

At this point, he was still obstinate and unenlightened. No wonder a mere letter was enough to make Zhang Shougui lose faith in An Lushan.

"Take him away. Once I've dealt with that An Lushan, I will let you father and son reunite."

What else did Zhang Shougui not understand at this point?

He shouted like a madman:

"Li Longji! Anlushan is not me. It's impossible for you to be his match! I'll wait and see as you overthrow the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin remained expressionless and waved his hand, immediately having someone escort Zhang Shougui out.

Zhang Shougui continued to scream as if he had gone mad:

"Li Longji! You are destined to be the criminal of the Great Tang Dynasty! Hahahaha! You are destined to be a monarch who brings ruin to the country! You worthless fool! The Li family's empire is destined to be destroyed by your hands!"

His insane words lingered for a long time.

Li Shimin thought to himself.

Well, you're not wrong. Li Longji is indeed a worthless fool, but unfortunately, I am not him.

After dealing with Zhang Shougui, Li Shimin instructed the governor of Yongzhou to bring a map, and his gaze fixed on the part marked "Yingzhou."

Here, it was An Lushan's old nest.

With this in mind, Li Shimin looked at the chief of staff who was silently waiting on the side. Sensing his gaze, the chief of staff quickly stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty."

Quite clever.

Li Shimin silently praised himself and then said, "The matter of interrogating Zhang Shougui will be handed over to your staff office. Extract something useful from him for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The chief of staff received the order and immediately withdrew.
