"My life has been without regret, like the youth that has passed me by!" Li Qianyu, son of Li Xuanba, stands before the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a pair of hammers in his hands.
A group of foreign envoys kneels before him, while behind him stands a crowd of Tang officials with black eyes.
"Quick, quick, go fetch the Empress!" Li Shimin cries, sporting black eyes.
"You vile son, hurry up and drag this little rascal away!" Li Yuan cries, also sporting black eyes.
"Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji... Where are all my ministers?" Li Shimin notices his trusted ministers are missing from the morning court and senses something is wrong.
Li Junxian, his eyes blackened, steps forward. "Your Majesty, they were all beaten up by the Overlord."
