His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly when he heard that Yang Fan said Xu Jingzong was worthless and scolded him bloodyly!
Although I agree with Yang Fan's words in my heart, I think Xu Jingzong is somewhat repaying kindness with enmity.
But Yang Fan still felt that it was a bit too much to scold him like this.
As an old member of the Qin Prince's Palace, Xu Jingzong's ability is quite good despite his moral character.
Otherwise, Li Er would not have promoted him to Zhongshu Sheren.
Now that Xu Jingzong has just been promoted, Yang Fan scolds Xu Jingzong as useless. Doesn't this indirectly mean that he, the emperor, is short-sighted?
Your Majesty Li Er really wants to run down and kick this kid in the face. This bastard is so lawless.
Many civil servants in Tai Chi Hall were also a little uncomfortable with Yang Fan's behavior.
After all, these people have been influenced by Confucianism since childhood and always hide their secrets in everything they say and do.
I think that I am a scholar and have been taught by saints, so I should be strict with myself and be lenient towards others. How can I accuse someone like a shrew?
Although Xu Jingzong was the first to find trouble, he was still young. In this era of benevolence and filial piety, Yang Fan should give him some face.
Besides, when you curse someone, you need to have the style of a Confucian disciple. Just rebut with "proper words and emotional responses". Why is it necessary to be so inhumane?
How are such vulgar words different from those of the barbarians?
However, completely different from these acid scholars and civil servants, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others held the opposite attitude.
They have all come from the battlefield, and naturally know that only the victors can write history, and they also know the principle of revenge on the spot.
When facing an enemy, it doesn't matter what means are used as long as the opponent can be defeated.
What's more, Yang Fan was only targeting Xu Jingzong, who was looking for trouble, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But Yang Fan's accusation made Li Chengqian a little unhappy.
In any case, Xu Jingzong has surrendered to him.
As the saying goes, look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face.
Xu Jingzong had just been promoted and was scolded by Yang Fan. If he didn't help, who would support him in ascending the throne?
Now Xu Jingzong is from Zhongshushe, which will also be of great help to him in his fight for the throne.
No matter from which aspect, Li Chengqian must speak out to defend him.
Besides, it is true that Yang Fan was sleeping in the court. Even if Xu Jingzong complained, he was only stating the facts and there was nothing wrong with him.
What's more, the person who found the real murderer for Xu Zhang was Qin Huaidao. What does it have to do with you, Yang Fan?
Even if Xu Jingzong wanted to thank him, he would still like to thank His Majesty Li Er. After all, the officials who investigated the case were arranged by His Majesty Li Er.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian stood up and shouted sternly: "Yang Fan, you can't talk nonsense! As a scholar, how can you be as rude as a barbarian and spit out filthy words?"
"Even if you are lucky enough to see Qin Huaidao's investigation of the case, it means that Qin Huaidao investigated the murderer. What does it have to do with you?"
"You keep saying that you are kind to Master Xu. You are simply shameless. How are you different from that barbarian?"
"Besides, you just squinted your eyes and dozed off at the court meeting. Why don't you dare to do it? You are not a man."
Xu Jingzong finally recovered from Yang Fan's words: "Repaying kindness with hatred is a waste of life."
After hearing Prince Li Chengqian's defense, I was immediately moved and thought I had finally followed the right person.
I also think that now that the prince has spoken, this bastard Yang Fan should give in!
To be honest, Xu Jingzong was really a little nervous when facing Yang Fan alone.
However, what Xu Jingzong didn't expect was.
Facing the prince Li Chengqian, Yang Fan did not show weakness, but instead spoke out: "Originally, His Highness said that Wei Chen should not and did not dare to refute, but His Highness said that Wei Chen was a man in vain, which was a bit too much."
"The humble minister is fighting with great vigour, and he only likes beautiful women. He is not as dirty as the men in the market, so he considers himself a dignified man. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Pfft..."
There was a strange noise, and it turned out to be Cheng Yaojin from the general's platoon.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin's old face was flushed and he was a little embarrassed: "Um,... I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back, I'm really sorry..."
It's just that teasing look, but there's no hint of apology at all?
Li Chengqian was helpless about Cheng Yaojin's rogue behavior.
What's more, Cheng Yaojin dared to laugh at His Majesty Li Er, not to mention that Li Chengqian was just a prince.
However, what made Li Chengqian the most angry was what Yang Fan said.
It was obviously a roundabout way of saying that Li Chengqian was a manly man and was not worthy of being a man.
It was because of Yang Fan that His Majesty Li Er killed his old Xiang Hao, and the resentment in Li Chengqian's heart suddenly rose.
A pair of gloomy eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat Yang Fan.
His Majesty Li Er looked constipated, and his temples were beating with anger.
Killing Le Tong was originally intended to protect the crown prince Li Chengqian, but now that Yang Fan is acting strangely, isn't he mocking the royal family?
But His Majesty Li Er has to admit that Yang Fan's words are not rough. Compared with Li Chengqian, Yang Fan's masculinity is indeed overwhelming!
But Yang Fan, a bastard, stood and talked without any pain in his back, and he didn't think about the consequences at all.
How to end it in front of so many courtiers, Li Er really has a headache!
At this time, Li Chengqian's pupils were filled with blood and he looked furious, almost dying of anger on the spot.
He pointed at Yang Fan tremblingly and said angrily: "Above the main hall, you actually dare to offend the superiors and insult Yu Gu. Do you really think you can be lawless?"
In fact, Yang Fan regretted saying it!
After all, teasing the current prince in such a weird way is simply seeking death.
He could only look to Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda for help. Both of them were the prince's teachers, hoping that they would soften their words.
Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were twitching at the corners of their mouths. That bastard Yang Fan was too damn bold.
No matter how stubborn you are, you won’t dare to get involved in this kind of thing!
If His Majesty Li Er really took the blame, it would be a major crime against the Nine Tribes, so he turned a blind eye to Yang Fan's request for help.
Li Ji, Fang Xuanling and others also looked helpless.
Only Xu Jingzong and Cui Yongping showed expressions of gloating.
Yang Fan actually dares to say that His Highness the Crown Prince is not like a man. Isn't this asking for death?
Seeing that it would not end well, Yang Fan had no choice but to risk his life, pretending to be generous, and said loudly: "Your Highness, the minister is just a metaphor, how can I say that I am insulting Your Highness?"
"What's more, since the founding of our dynasty, we have never been punished for our words. You are the crown prince and you always keep your word, so you can't deliberately accuse me of wrongdoing?"
"Of course, if His Highness really wants to put what Wei Chen said just now on himself, Wei Chen is willing to take the blame."
Li Chengqian was so angry that his lips trembled and he was so angry that he could not speak.
Yang Fan is so cunning.
In the blink of an eye, the problem was thrown back to himself.
If it is forced to say that Yang Fan's words just now refer to Sang scolding Huai, then the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince will be ruined.
If he admitted that Yang Fan was not talking about him, Li Chengqian would be extremely angry and could only grit his teeth and stare at Yang Fan from the back seat.
Wei Zheng smiled slightly, glanced at Li Ji next to him, and teased softly: "Old Li, this guy is very good. He not only arranges troops, he is also good at fighting on the battlefield, and he is also very smooth with his mouth. He is really good at admonishing ministers."
Miaozi, you have the demeanor of an old man!"
"It's a pity that I don't have a daughter. Otherwise, I would definitely recruit this boy as my son-in-law."
Li Ji rolled his eyes and almost wanted to hit this old brother who came out of Wagang together!
This old man had clearly guessed that his good brother's daughter was being raised by him, yet he was still acting so strangely. He obviously knew something, and there was something behind his words!
Although Wei Zheng spoke very softly, after all, he was very close to Li Er, so Li Er could almost hear everything clearly.
Wei Zheng, an old guy, said that Yang Fan had his style, but Li Er didn't think so.
In Li Er's mind, Yang Fan was like a stone in a latrine when he was acting stupid, smelly and hard, and even more difficult to deal with than Wei Zheng, an old guy.
But what makes Li Eryu even more angry is that he didn't expect this old guy to actually want to recruit Yang Fan as his son-in-law. What a surprise!
What the hell, my own son-in-law, who dares to come and compete with my daughter for her husband-in-law? Are you looking for death?
But having said that, this guy Yang Fan is really a treasure. Not only is he good at both civil and military skills, but he can also make money to support his family.
More importantly, he is too kind to women, and he is simply a prince charming in women's eyes.
However, I really can’t tell when did this kid become so sharp-tongued?
Facing old trolls like Xu Jingzong and Du Feng, not only can they talk freely without stage fright, but they can even occupy the moral high ground and suppress them to death. They are simply monsters!
If the prince Li Chengqian could have half the ability of this boy, he wouldn't need to examine other princes.
Looking at Li Chengqian who dared to be angry but dared not speak out in the main hall, His Majesty Li Er felt that iron could not turn into steel.
This prince's character is too cowardly!
In Li Er's opinion, if he were in Li Chengqian's position, he wouldn't care how much Yang Fan messed around.
All you need to do is use your status as the prince to directly suppress the other party...
However, His Majesty Li Er was more worried about Prince Li Chengqian's vision.
Li Chengqian actually offended Yang Fan for Xu Jingzong, which was simply more gain than loss.
Unexpectedly, there was a large group of important ministers standing behind Yang Fan, and even Cui Yongping, Du Feng and other children from aristocratic families were so overwhelmed that they could not even lift their heads.
Comparing the two, Yang Fan dumped Xu Jingzong by several blocks...
What makes His Majesty Li Er even more unhappy is that a prince and several ministers are suppressed by Yang Fan at every turn. They are so worthless!
Xu Jingzong, Du Feng and others, who usually talk eloquently and eloquently, how could they be silenced by a yellow-haired boy at the critical moment?
What a waste!
His Majesty Li Er knew that it seemed that he had to personally control the situation, so he said loudly: "Yang Fan, don't mess around with these useless things."
"The prince confirmed that you just slept at the court meeting. Is it true? Answer truthfully."
As soon as these words came out, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but blush. This was tantamount to being biased.
Originally, the matter of sleeping had been ignored, but the old talk was brought up again, obviously to suppress Yang Fan's arrogance.
But His Majesty Li Er had no choice. After all, there was no other way to catch Yang Fan.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Fan immediately became depressed.
Although he was prepared in his heart, His Majesty Li Er would definitely favor Li Chengqian.
After all, they are father and son!
But this emperor was simply too devoid of martial ethics.
It was obviously Xu Jingzong and the others who were the first to make trouble, but instead of talking about them, you talked about me sleeping. Isn't this too biased?
But Yang Fan didn't even think about it. He actually made an argument about Li Chengqian's masculinity. How could His Majesty Li Er still hold back?
If we don't stop him with words, the royal family will lose all face.
Although he was very depressed, Yang Fan still said loudly: "Your Majesty, I did take a nap just now."
After a pause, he continued: "The reason why I am so stateless in the court is not what I want."
"Since the humble minister came back from the Tubo expedition, he did not rest for a few days and devoted himself non-stop to preparing for the imperial examination. Now that the imperial examination has come to an end, it is normal for his mind to relax for a while and take a nap."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall became silent again.
Everyone looked at Yang Fan in surprise, originally thinking that this guy would just mess around and even deny it on the spot.
Who knew that this kid not only admitted it, but also admitted it so cleanly and neatly, it was simply incredible.
His Majesty Li Er was also a little surprised.
Originally, as long as Yang Fan denied it, he would have dismissed it with a few words of casual scolding.
But I didn't expect Yang Fan to deny it at all. Isn't this kid afraid of death?
You should know that falling asleep during a court meeting is a crime of disrespect.
To put it mildly, dismissal from office is a given.
To be honest, even being sent to Lingnan is not an exaggeration.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er really couldn't guess what Yang Fan was thinking!
Being so straightforward shows that Yang Fan has no intention of making excuses at all!
Looking at Yang Fan standing tall and heroic in the palace.
Kong Yingda and Wei Zheng were extremely happy!
Although the two of them defended Yang Fan just now, they also hoped that Yang Fan would be an upright person, and this boy did not disappoint them...
Now that Yang Fan admitted it frankly, it really made Li Chengqian, Xu Jingzong and others very happy!
Have you finally caught your kid?
This time Yang Fan will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
With so many courtiers testifying, even His Majesty Li Er could no longer protect him.
As a result, officials from various aristocratic families spoke out to impeach Yang Fan.
Xu Jingzong immediately asked: "Your Majesty, since Yang Fan has admitted that he has committed the crime of disrespect, please punish him so that he can be in charge of the imperial court."
Looking at the family officials who were adding insult to injury, His Majesty Li Er looked solemn and silent. He wanted to see Yang Fan's reaction.
But when he looked towards Yang Fan in the center of the hall, he saw the boy squinting his eyes again as if it had nothing to do with him.
This immediately ignited the anger in Li Er's heart.
Originally, as long as Yang Fan asked for mercy, he could lightly punish him casually.
But Yang Fan's appearance made His Majesty Li Er's lungs explode with anger.
In his opinion, Yang Fan didn't take him seriously at all!
You know, if it were anyone else who made such a big mistake, they would have knelt down and begged for mercy. How could there be someone like Yang Fan?
It’s so irritating!
I saw His Majesty Li Er gritting his teeth and sitting in the back seat, staring at Yang Fan with wide eyes and saying: "You have nothing to defend?"
Yang Fan lowered his head and replied in an understatement: "The humble minister has made a big mistake. The crime is not worthy of wrath. I will leave it to His Majesty's disposal."
"Okay...that's really good!" Seeing that Yang Fan was still acting like a pig who was not afraid of boiling water and ignored his own good intentions, His Majesty Li Er was furious.
Then his face became solemn and he said coldly: "Zhongyi Hou Yang Fan deliberately disrupted the court's laws and regulations. He did not repent afterward. He committed a heinous crime. He should be removed from the post of Minister of Rites!"
"Huh?" Yang Fan raised his head in surprise. Is this emperor too cautious?
No wonder he could kill his brother and his wife!
Cui Yongping and others were immediately overjoyed. As long as they could defeat Yang Fan, the bad mood of being dismissed would be much better.
However, Fang Xuanling and others were shocked. They never thought that His Majesty Li Er would punish him like this, and they all gave words of advice:
"Your Majesty, even if Marquis Zhongyi made a big mistake, he has worked diligently during this period, and there is no merit but hard work. Such a punishment is unfair. Please take back his sentence."
As soon as he said these words, His Majesty Li Er also regretted it a little.
He was really afraid that Yang Fan would fall to the noble family because of this matter.
Seeing Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin... and others kneeling down to beg for mercy, His Majesty Li Er was also a little shaken.
His eyes drifted to Yang Fan, and as long as the boy said something soft, he would change his words.
But after waiting for a long time, he saw Yang Fan looking indifferent, which made Li Er even more furious.
He could only say angrily: "The imperial court has its own rules, not to mention that you have no words to joke about. Please don't say any more, otherwise you will be guilty of the same crime as him!"
As he said that, His Majesty Li Er got angry, shook his sleeves and stood up to leave.
In this way, Yang Fan was beaten to the end and returned to before liberation!
