At this moment, there was only one sentence in Pei Ji's mind.
I'll wipe it, no need...
Brother Li, Brother Li, why am I wrong?
Pei Ji yelled crazily in his heart.
but……
Obviously, Li Er's anger cannot be easily fooled.
Then, the next moment...
After Li Er roared at Fang Xuanling, he suddenly put away his anger and showed a puzzled expression.
"Really, Xuanling, not you?"
"Then who insists that I am not worthy of my virtue and whose behavior offends God?"
Fang Xuanling lowered her head, seemingly afraid to speak.
Then, Li Er glanced around.
Wherever they looked, all the officials suddenly shrank their necks.
Damn, who dares to wear such a big stinky hat?
After looking around, Li Er suddenly looked at Xiao Yu, "Master Xiao, is that you?"
Xiao Yu was also one of the old gangsters in the Tang Dynasty, and was inextricably linked to Pei Ji.
When Li Er asked this question, Xiao Yu's face turned pale...
"Your Majesty, I am not a minister..."
Li Er smiled.
Then he turned his head and looked at someone in the crowd.
Qing of Dali Temple, Zheng Xuannian!
This person was an official from the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Li Er chuckled,
"Master Zheng, is that you?"
…
Li Er has not forgotten Zheng Xuannian.
I remember exactly what happened back then.
This Zheng Xuannian was also from a noble family, and together with a group of others, he protected Cui Pinyu and several other young men from noble families.
But Li Er clearly remembers what these young masters from aristocratic families did to his son Li Sheng.
At this moment, all I could see was that Li Er's face was as sinking as water, with a shadow.
"Master Zheng, is it you?"
Zheng Xuannian was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are not a minor minister, you are not a minor minister!"
Li Er chuckled.
"Not you? Then who are you talking about?"
…
In fact, if it is on weekdays.
Or maybe Li Er didn't go through this "tribulation" performance.
Then Li Er wouldn't ask like this.
The reason is simple, because he knows that the other party will definitely change his perspective and persuade Li Er not to be so harsh.
Since strips of cloth have appeared in the belly of the fish, I have given you a hint.
So whether it's to avoid divine punishment or to appease the people, no matter what the purpose is, shouldn't you immediately issue a self-indictment?
But this time, there is no such problem.
The matter has been clearly understood, and Li Er really did not do anything to offend God this time.
With such a good opportunity, how could Li Er let go of Haiyan Heqing's opportunity.
…
If it’s not you, then who is it?
When Li Er asked this question, Zheng Xuannian took a deep breath.
Damn it, isn't this putting people on the fire?
What do you want me to say?
Wouldn’t it offend anyone I say?
too painful……
You can’t admit it to yourself, can you?
I'm afraid I'll have to peel off the skin even if I don't die. The black gauze hat will definitely fly away!
Zheng Xuannian was sweating profusely and suddenly knelt down after a while.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is guilty, but Wei Chen... Wei Chen is really not the culprit..."
The gradually accumulating psychological pressure finally caused Zheng Xuannian to collapse.
Damn it, who can withstand this pressure?
Then, Li Er looked at another middle-aged man beside Zheng Xuannian.
This man's surname was Cui, and he was from the Cui family in Qinghe. Because his character and rank were not prominent, Li Er seldom paid attention to this man when faced with family problems.
But this time, Li Er has found out what's going on behind the scenes.
"Master Cui, what do you think? Who... insists that I am the one who has failed in my moral conduct and must be punished by God?"
This official was a little shrimp, but he would become the target of public criticism, so he immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare! I don't dare..."
"I know you don't dare, but...my memory is correct, right? There are indeed people who dare, and their courage...is so great!"
"Hurry up and tell me who said it!"
Tu Qiong saw that at this moment, the entire Li Zheng Hall was completely silent.
The official named Cui was speechless and realized that he could not get around this time, so he had to speak...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...is..."
"Well, who is it?"
"It's Mr. Pei!"
…
This sound appeared.
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Er's face.
Almost all the officials in the entire court breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Sure enough, the main topic is still here...
For a moment, not only the officials from poor families, but also officials from aristocratic families moved their bodies instinctively.
Stay away from Pei Ji.
Pei Ji, you must stay away!
Otherwise, if it affects Chiyu again, it will be completely over.
Li Er chuckled.
"Master Pei, people say that you are deceiving the public with your lies and trying to force me to marry you. Master Pei, do you think this is true?"
Pei Ji was extremely nervous at this moment.
No, rather, after saying "It's Mr. Pei",
My mental state has exceeded the limit.
The whole person seemed to have switched states and entered a warm world full of light...
His face turned completely pale.
Ashes.
After a while, Pei Ji knelt down heavily,
"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister..."
Halfway through his words, Pei Ji suddenly got stuck.
Just admit it?
No, no, we can still save it!
Pei Ji took a few deep breaths and spoke with difficulty, "Your Majesty, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. I am purely worried about your Majesty's safety!"
Li Er chuckled, "Really? Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your concern. I burned my back yesterday, and the doctor said I won't survive more than half a year..."
Pei Ji suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and two words popped out of his mouth subconsciously: "Really??"
Li Er:......
Officials of the Manchu Dynasty:…………
This time, Pei Ji stopped talking completely and closed his eyes.
It's finished, it's completely finished!
He understood that this time Li Er wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with him thoroughly.
Even for the sake of being a veteran of two dynasties, I'm afraid the end won't be too good. Not to mention being demoted to three levels in a row, or to level four or five, it's not impossible.
Anyway...
Now I, as a great Confucian, have lost the moral high ground that I am best at.
I am a slave to others, but I can't explain myself no matter how Li Er behaves.
"Sir Pei, I raised a righteous army from Wagang, died of hunger in the wilderness, and punished the people justly... The road was rough and the hands were rough, and I went through countless dangers of life and death before I was able to put an end to the evil world of the Sui Dynasty."
"I see that you are an old minister of the two dynasties and have not done many bad things. Although you are an old minister of the former Sui Dynasty, I would like to treat you with kindness. But what about you?"
When Li Er said this, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
All the officials in the court lowered their heads.
Damn...
Who can withstand this?
Then... Li Er continued, "Buddhism has compassion, but what can be gained by compassion... Buddhism has Bodhisattvas with low eyebrows and vajra eyes with angry eyes, but I have always only known the word benevolence."
"It seems that I was really wrong."
"Since Mr. Pei doesn't want to be an official, he will clean Chang'an Avenue for me from today on."
When Li Er said this, two words popped up in the minds of all the officials in the court:
Damn it!
I'm afraid Li Er is really angry this time, this move is too cruel.
