The sudden interruption of King Zhao made the Empress Dowager extremely displeased.

The queen mother glared at King Zhao and said, "Why, the king also thinks that the old woman is not suitable for making this decision?"

Seeing the queen mother's angry expression, King Zhao suddenly felt weak, but he was not impulsive. After hesitating for a moment, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on speaking.

"My mother, I just think that Li Jian is loyal. It would be a pity if he was punished too much for a marriage."

Even such tactful words made the empress dowager's face show a hint of disbelief.

This was the first time that King Zhao confronted the Empress Dowager in front of others.

The Queen Mother's attention suddenly turned to King Zhao, and her tone continued to turn cold: "Master, do you really want to plead for Li Jian?"

King Zhao's forehead was already sweating, but he still insisted on speaking: "Li Jianli should be punished, but he also asked his mother to give up his hands."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, and the cold light in her eyes became more and more intense.

A minister who disobeyed the order and refused to obey her already made her furious, and a biological son who contradicted her...

"Very good, very good. They are all young people, their wings are hard, so there is no need for the elderly to point fingers, right?"

King Zhao suddenly realized that his dissuasion did not seem to have a real effect, but rather a negative effect.

Just as King Zhao was rapidly circulating his head and wanted to do something to make up for it, another voice sounded.

"In the final analysis, Li Jian's marriage is just a personal matter. If it is to punish him with the public power of the king because of his private matters, it may be inappropriate."

King Zhao showed a surprised expression and looked at the person who said this.

There are two other people in the hall who can speak well.

No matter how he thought about it, King Zhao felt that it was the eunuch Ling Wangxian who asked for mercy.

But the person who talks is Du Pingjun Tian Dan.

The Queen Mother was surprised again: "Du Pingjun, you..."

Tian Dan stood up and said seriously: "Although Li Jian just said to contradict the Empress Dowager, there is no courtesy that his ministers should have, but there is one thing that the ministers agree with him."

The Queen Mother said, "What do you mean?"

Tian Shan said: "It is 'a king, ruler, minister, father, son, son'. The minister is a Confucian scholar, and he agrees deeply with this."

"The king ruled his ministers and managed the country. The father taught his children and made marriages."

"If the minister suffers a loss in handling official affairs, the king should punish him. If the son has hope of getting married, the father should handle him."

"The father cannot punish the official affairs of the minister for the sake of the king, nor can the king do the marriage for the father."

"Li Jian insisted on not following the Queen Mother's kindness, which was indeed because he was ignorant of esteem. But if he punished him in the name of the monarch, it would be a monarch who took office as a father, which was quite inappropriate."

Tian Dan told this and said in this way, with reasonable and justified words, which made King Zhao, who had no idea how to speak, widen his eyes and admire him in his heart.

So there is still such an angle?

It turns out that Confucianism has such classic sayings?

It turns out that Confucian theory is so pleasant!

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said, "Even you want to oppose the old woman? Have you forgotten who brought this marriage to the old woman!"

Tian Dan said calmly: "This matter is indeed mentioned by the old minister. But what the old minister thought at that time was to reduce Lin Qing's arms and help him to avoid him from hindering the old ministers in government affairs."

"Doctor Li is stubborn and unwilling to do so, but he is ungrateful. But if I continue to persuade the Empress Dowager to force the marriage, it will be bullying others by virtue of his power, and it will be a nameless person."

"The Master said: If the name is not upright, the words will not go well; if the words are not upright, the things will not go well. If the things are not done, why should I be obsessed with it?"

The queen mother laughed and said sarcastically: "According to your words, the old woman is the unjust person. If she really punished Li Jian's crime, would she be an unreasonable and atrocity king?"

Tian Shan said: "Li Jian is still guilty. It is a crime of rudeness to his ministers. The empress dowager is wise and can judge."

The Empress Dowager sneered: "What a crime of rudeness that avoids the important and does not matter! Well, he is really good at speaking. He is really worthy of being a great Zhao Xiangbang promoted by an old woman!"

Tian Dan lowered his head and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Jian again.

The atmosphere in the hall became solidified.

Everyone knows that this is the final verdict.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Li Jian, you are rude in front of you, and you are fined for one year and be suspended for one month. During the suspension period, you must report on your mistakes. If you are unclear in your statement and know the knowledge, continue to be suspended!"

"Come on, drive him out of the palace. The old woman doesn't want to see him!"

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Several men hurriedly pulled Li Jian out, and just looking at their posture surrounding Li Jian, it was better to say that they were escorting away rather than escorting away.

This shows the prestige of this young governor in the hearts of these subordinates.

King Zhao smiled and said to the Empress Dowager: "Mother is a wise man!"

Tian Dan bowed his hands and said seriously: "The Queen Mother is wise!"

Both King Zhao and Tian Dan knew the Queen Mother quite well.

If the Empress Dowager just gave the order, then at the least, he would deprive all of Li Jian of his official titles and exil to the frontier. At the worst, he would directly imprison and torture Li Jian, and might even be executed at the same time.

Now that I have only been suspended for one month, there are no demotions in both official positions and titles, which is a great blessing.

The empress dowager had a bad expression and looked at King Zhao and Tian Dan: "Why, you all seem to like to go against the old woman?"

King Zhao hurriedly said, "My mother is joking. How could I go against the mother?"

Tian Dan said respectfully: "The old minister is thinking about the reputation of the empress dowager. If it weren't for this, how could he say anything good to him with the relationship between the old minister and Li Jian?"

The Empress Dowager snorted heavily and stood up: "It's all nonsense and nonsense! The old woman understands that when she gets old, she's annoying. She should die. She'll go to the underworld to accompany the former king!"

The Queen Mother left with her sleeves.

Looking at the empress dowager's departure, King Zhao turned his eyes to Tian Dan, with a smile on his face.

"Du Pingjun, I suddenly became interested in Confucianism and Confucius, and felt that the theory was very good. You come to the palace tomorrow morning and talk to me in detail."

This was the first time that King Zhao wanted to listen to Tian Dan's teaching of Confucian theory for the first time. Tian Dan was immediately flattered and responded repeatedly.

King Zhao was also very happy and left with a smile.

Tian Dan also stood up, took two steps and suddenly stopped, stopping Xu Xian, who was also preparing to leave.

Zhuxian looked up at Tian Dan: "Is there anything Du Pingjun?"

Tian Dan said with a smile: "I remember that the eunuch Ling was very optimistic about Li Jian before, so why didn't he ask for mercy for Li Jian today?"

The wise man said lightly: "With Dupingjun's golden and jade-like advice, why should I do this more than anything?"

Tian Dan's smile became stronger and stronger: "Is it because of Lin Qing?"

Miao Xian frowned and did not respond.

Tian Dan said seriously: "I also asked the eunuch to go back and tell Lin Qing that Li Jian is a good son-in-law. If my daughter had not been married, it would be his turn to be his family this time. I will say so that he can do it."

Looking at Tian Dan who was leaving, Miao Xian's face showed surprise and deep confusion.

Tian Dan, is actually really talking to Li Jian?
