Hearing Yang Fan's words, Li Daozong secretly thought that something was wrong, and his nerves suddenly became tense.
At the same time, he felt all the eyes turning towards him.
Without looking at Li Daozong, he knew that they must be some officials from aristocratic families in the palace, so he reminded him in a anxious voice: "Shilang Yang, what's the point?"
Eighty percent of the officials in the court were from aristocratic families, and I was really afraid that Yang Fan would be attacked by a group of people.
Throughout the ages, no one has dared to scold the aristocratic family like this. Apparently, all the officials from the aristocratic families in the palace were brought along.
If these aristocratic families unite, His Majesty Li Er will be afraid of him. How dare Yang Fan be so ignorant?
Even His Majesty Li Er, facing the power of these aristocratic families, can only eat carefully step by step and destroy them bit by bit.
Yang Fan didn't care at all about the eyes that were staring at him fiercely. Instead, he nodded gratefully to Li Daozhong. Of course he knew why Li Daozong was so anxious.
But as a man, there are things you can do and things you shouldn't do.
These officials from aristocratic families actually dared to collude in the court. It was obviously not the first time that they had done this.
Since this collision has hit me, of course I can't back down.
Once he retreats, he will definitely be forced to retreat step by step by these officials from aristocratic families.
Seeing that Yang Fan still looked indifferent after scolding him, Du Feng said angrily: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites is so rude and is not worthy of standing in the court. I beg your Majesty to drive him out of the court to set an example."
However, Li Shimin didn't pay attention. Instead, he looked gloomy and didn't know what to think.
From a personal point of view, Yang Fan said something that he did not dare to say in the past.
But as the emperor, Li Shimin could not act according to his own preferences, because he wanted to balance the entire court.
If Li Shimin didn't care about what he was doing, just send troops to uproot all these aristocratic families.
In reality, he cannot do this. Once he acts recklessly, at least the government order will be blocked, and at worst, the world will be in chaos.
You must know that in the official system of the Tang Dynasty, 80 to 90% of the people were inextricably related to these aristocratic families.
This is also the reason why the officials of the aristocratic family are so unscrupulous, because they have identified Li Shimin and dare not do anything to them.
As expected, Li Shimin was in a dilemma.
At this time, a thin-looking middle-aged official raised his hand to Yang Fan, frowned and asked: "I wonder who Yang Shilang just said about being shameless? Including all the aristocratic families?"
Yang Fan glanced at him. He was not tall, wearing a purple official robe, standing in the train of civil servants.
It was this guy who was shouting loudly behind Cui Yongping just now, and he looked like an instigator who didn't mean anything.
Yang Fan had just been serving as the Minister of Rites for two or three months, and not all the officials knew him, so he asked displeasedly: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man raised his head proudly and said, "I am Zheng Tan, the Zheng clan of Xingyang, who is currently the Minister of Taichang Temple."
hehe!
These officials from aristocratic families are indeed so arrogant that they dare to introduce their family names in the front and their official positions in the back.
No wonder Li Shimin hated these colluding family officials so much.
Yang Fan held his tongue, glanced sideways at this guy, and then opened his mouth and said: "Since you know it well, why bother to ask more questions? It's not like I said you, a hypocritical person like you can stand in the court.
It is really a shame for the imperial court. It is a real shame for you to serve as an official in the same court..."
Yang Fan directly turned on the venomous tongue mode and retorted what Du Feng just said about being ashamed of being associated with Yang Fan.
Zheng Tan never expected that Yang Fan would dare to talk back. What if he didn't see that His Majesty Li Er didn't dare to deal with officials from aristocratic families like them?
The reason why he dared to stand up and show off was partly because he had reached an agreement with Cui to knock down Yang Fan in order to obtain the method of making colored glaze.
I originally thought that what Yang Fan had just said to offend the family would have been blurted out subconsciously. If he asked him face to face, he would definitely not dare to admit it.
Not only can you express yourself, but you can also gain the 'friendship' of Cui and Duan Zhixuan, why not do it?
After all, in his opinion, even His Majesty Li Er would not dare to offend aristocratic families all over the world...
But the result was beyond his expectation. Yang Fan was as cunning as a loach. Not only did he mock him secretly, but he also pushed the problem back to him.
The phrase ‘knowingly’ suddenly made the question seem a bit ambiguous.
If Yang Fan's words just now were meant to criticize the world's aristocratic families, he did not mention them by name.
If you say no, but everyone knows that you are talking about them, you will feel really upset and a bit embarrassed.
Zheng Tan's face turned red and he did not dare to dwell on this issue. He pointed at Yang Fan and shouted loudly: "Since Minister Yang knew that he was in the court at this time, why did he dare to speak nonsense? Where are the laws of the court and the majesty of His Majesty?
Where is it?"
Yang Fan looked disdainful and said slowly: "If you keep chirping and making random accusations like this, do you believe someone will beat you up in this Tai Chi Hall?"
"You..." Zheng Tan was almost angry to death. When he was about to refute, he was stopped by his colleagues around him.
Zheng Tan suddenly woke up and realized that he was a little impulsive, so he quickly shut up.
Who is this guy Yang Fan? He is just like a gangster in the market.
However, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out, so he could only glare at Yang Fan in shame and anger to express his toughness.
After all, this kid Yang Fan is just a stick. In order to stir up trouble in the court, he would even dare to beat himself up for no reason!
The most important thing is that His Majesty Li Er is obviously on Yang Fan's side.
Even if he was beaten, His Majesty Li Er would definitely protect him with this stick, so wouldn't he be beaten in vain?
What's more, now that the Tai Chi Palace is full of civil and military personnel, if you are beaten with a black nose and a swollen face, how can you survive in the future?
And not only him, but the entire Xingyang Zheng family will also be disgraced.
I couldn't help but secretly regret, I could just have been cheering behind Cui Yongping, so why should I be the one who stood out?
I really forgot that Yang Fan is a naive guy who can easily become violent if he disagrees with someone.
Seeing that Zheng Tan had stopped, Yang Fan secretly spat, and the look of contempt on his face became even stronger.
These aristocratic families are just bullies who are afraid of the strong and only use their benevolence, justice and morality to kidnap others.
This trick is fine for dealing with emperors like Li Shimin who need to look at the overall situation.
If you can use it against yourself, then you can only laugh!
Seeing that Zheng Tan was defeated after just a few words, all the officials had no choice but to lower their eyebrows and lower their eyes, pretending not to see Quan.
Seeing that no one from these aristocratic families dared to stand up, Duan Zhixuan immediately quit his job.
I have spent so much energy, but now it has ended in a hasty manner, of course I am unwilling to do so.
Now that I have broken my skin today, I no longer have any worries and secretly decided that even if His Majesty Li Er is suspicious of me, I will bring this guy Yang Fan down.
Duan Zhixuan had been following Li Shimin from the beginning, and of course he understood Li Shimin's character.
Although Li Shimin was cruel and ruthless, he was actually an emperor who valued affection and loved reputation. No matter how much he misbehaved, he would not be at risk of being beheaded.
So he took a big step, came out again, and said with great emotion: "Your Majesty, although the child has made mistakes, it is only a small mistake after all. In the future, the ministers will definitely discipline him strictly; now the child has been beheaded by the Zhongyi Marquis.
I lost an arm and will not be able to take care of myself in the future. I hope Your Majesty, in view of the past achievements of this humble minister, will do justice to me and punish the murderer severely."
