Although Zhang San didn't care much about the title, he didn't want to be beaten to the end like this.
"Wannian County Bo Zhang San." Li Yuan called out Zhang San's name.
Zhang San lowered his head and knelt on the ground, feeling full of injustice and aggrieved, but powerless.
"Since you have made some contributions to the Tang Dynasty, I will deprive you of your title and will not impose any other punishment." Li Yuan said as if he was praising Zhang San.
"Father, no, this punishment is a bit harsh." Li Shimin had to speak out. After all, Zhang San was selected by himself. If he was stripped of his title by Li Yuan here today, where would his majesty be? Who would dare to defend him in the future?
Work hard.
What's more, Zhang San was not at fault for this matter, and Zhang San had made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. Although Zhang San made some mistakes, he is not guilty of this." Fang Xuanling did not expect that Li Yuan would remove Zhang San from his title, so he did not care about anything else and hurriedly left work and said again.
"Fang Xuanling, I know that Zhang San is engaged to your little daughter, but for such a ruthless person, I advise you to terminate the engagement, otherwise people will laugh at you for not having any family background."
Li Yuan's words were very serious. Not only did he not give face to Fang Xuanling, he also failed to give face to Li Shimin. After all, it was Li Shimin who personally ordered the engagement.
Zhang San remained silent, and his heartbeat fluctuated violently, showing that Zhang San was not calm at this time.
I don't care if you remove me from my title, but you actually want to dissolve my engagement, which is a bit too much.
"Your Majesty, the common people have something to say." Zhang San called himself a common person, but he straightened his back and looked directly at Li Yuan.
Fang Xuanling looked back at Zhang San, hoping that Zhang San would not act out of emotion.
Zheng Xuan raised his lips slightly and glanced at Zhang San. As long as you no longer have the title, even if Fang Xuanling is here, the Zheng family will have ten thousand ways to get rid of you.
"What are you going to say?" Li Yuan did not expect that Zhang San would act so calmly at this time, and even his energy and energy were not as listless as before.
"The propaganda office seeks talents and visits ministers, but Jia Sheng's talents are even more unreasonable. It's a pity that he only sat down at the front table in the middle of the night and didn't ask about ghosts and gods." Zhang San expressed his trust in Li Yuan by borrowing Li Shangyin's epic poem "Jia Sheng", which borrows from the past and satirizes the present.
The Zheng family slandered, dealt with their dissatisfaction indiscriminately, and became even more disappointed with the court.
When Fang Xuanling heard this poem, he felt a little bitter in his heart. This poem offended Li Yuan to death.
A group of officials also heard the strong irony in this poem, and secretly sighed that Zhang San was indeed as talented as the rumors said! But as soon as this poem came out, Zhang San's situation became even worse!
Li Yuan naturally also heard that the poem was mocking him. He was not considerate of the people's sentiments and believed in the villain's slander. He slammed the case and stood up, pointed at Zhang San and shouted angrily: "I have rebelled against you. Someone will use this evil talk to confuse the public."
, I will take down the boy who is lawless and despises the imperial power."
Li Shimin heard the anger, dissatisfaction, disappointment and many other emotions hidden in the poem, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Is it possible that such a talented person who made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty will die young today?
The guards heard Li Yuan's roar and hurried in, preparing to take down Zhang San.
Just when everyone thought Zhang San was about to die, Li Shimin suddenly stood up and said: "Father, please calm down. Zhang San bumped into Father. It was a serious crime. However, considering his contribution to the Tang Dynasty in the past,
I beg Father to spare him this time, I will definitely punish Zhang San severely and give Father an explanation."
Zhang San saw Li Shimin interceding for him again, and he felt very fond of Li Shimin. In history, Li Shimin never killed meritorious ministers. Those who followed Li Shimin to conquer the country were also punished by Hou Junji for treason.
Li Shimin and Li Yuan's eyes briefly touched each other in the air. Li Yuan saw a fire burning fiercely in Li Shimin's eyes, and knew that today's move had touched Li Shimin's bottom line.
Zheng Xuan saw that Li Yuan seemed to be shrinking under Li Shimin's majesty, and secretly screamed that something was wrong.
Fang Xuanling felt at ease, as long as she saved her life, everything would turn around.
"Then how is the emperor going to punish this arrogant boy?" Everyone heard the concession in Li Yuan's tone.
"What my father said before, my son naturally obeyed and removed Zhang San from his title. Today he recklessly ran into my father. I decided to send him to the border. If he cannot make military exploits, he will never come back."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help frowning, but she thought that since her life had been saved, it couldn't be better, but this marriage... "Alas!" Fang Xuanling sighed inwardly.
When Zhang San heard that he was going to be sent to the border and had to make military exploits before he could come back, he became even more angry and secretly said that this feudal society had no human rights.
After Zheng Xuan heard what Li Shimin said, he secretly sighed that it was a pity that he could not kill Zhang San at once, but he was very happy when he thought that Zhang San was about to be sent to the border. "A little farmer who has no power to tie a chicken."
, it’s good to be able to survive after running to the border, and what kind of waves can be made.”
Due to the appearance of Li Yuan, Zhang San's final decision came out. Not only was he relieved of his title, but he was also sent to the border for violating the Supreme Emperor.
The morning court finally broke up unhappy, and everyone stayed away from Zhang San as if they were avoiding the plague.
Zhang San remained silent and slowly walked out. He had prepared for the worst before coming, but he never expected that the result would be a surprise to Zhang San.
"Xiaosan, please go back, I will look for you later." Fang Xuanling walked to Zhang San, patted Zhang San on the shoulder, and said in a heavy tone.
"I'm sorry for letting Uncle Fang follow me. I..." Zhang San felt a little ashamed when facing Fang Xuanling.
"No need to say more, let's go back first." Fang Xuanling patted Zhang San on the shoulder again, and then walked away.
"Uncle Zhang County, take care of yourself." Wei Zheng also came to Zhang San and said.
"Dr. Wei, I am no longer a county official. Thank you very much for interceding for me in the hall today. The common man Zhang San will bear this in mind." Zhang San saluted and thanked Wei Zheng.
"There is nothing to be afraid of when there is a temporary setback. There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the clouds and sails will rise to help the sea." Wei Zheng quoted Zhang San's poem.
"Xiao San, don't be afraid when you go to the border this time. When you decide where to go, you can take a letter from me with you. I am still a bit thin in the army, so I will protect you." Qin Qiong walked to Zhang San and first said
He nodded to Wei Zheng and continued.
Zhang San walked out of the palace step by step, feeling a little depressed. The sudden change made Zhang San not sure how to deal with it.
As the morning court ended, news about Zhang San, the former Bo of Kaiguo County in Wannian County, spread like wildfire, and for a time it became the talk of the whole Chang'an after dinner.
The song "Jia Sheng" written in the court hall was also praised by some scholars, and the children from poor families even lamented and complained about Zhang San's experience.
