Chapter four hundred and eighty third came just in time
Then His Majesty Li Er shook his head again, denying this conjecture.
It is impossible for Changsun Wuji to betray him. Regardless of interests or feelings, his family and the royal family are closely linked.
Only the emperor can give him more, unless he wants to rebel, but Changsun Wuji has no reason or excuse at all, that's for sure.
Then His Majesty Li Er seemed to have thought of something again...
A few days ago, when he asked Yang Fan and Li Zhi to be responsible for the production of firearms, the uncle of the country strongly opposed it.
He believed that the future heir of the empire, Li Chengqian, should be responsible for such important national weapons.
At that time, His Majesty Li Er fought against all opinions and acted arbitrarily. Only then did Changsun Wuji give up.
The silence at this time may be a silent resistance to what happened that day.
But what Changsun Wuji did was so disappointing!
You know, it's not just his emperor's reputation that these aristocratic families want to attack.
The drought was just a trigger, and the family's ultimate goal was for him, the emperor, to compromise on the imperial examination.
Because these aristocratic families thought they had captured the lifeblood of the emperor who cherished his reputation.
More importantly, it was able to block the reform of the imperial examination, thus defeating Yang Fan who proposed this plan.
Thinking of the entanglement between Yang Fan and the Changsun family, His Majesty Li Er instantly thought of the reason why Changsun Wuji was watching the flowers from the sidelines.
Changsun Wuji just wanted Yang Fan to be unable to withstand the pressure from the powerful family and died young, which also made Changsun's family lose an enemy.
The more Li Er thought about it, the more certain he became.
Changsun Wuji, an old fox, actually wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
His Majesty Li Er was very angry.
This uncle is really too much!
How long has this been going on, but all I see in my eyes is infighting? It’s really abominable!
His Majesty Li Er moved away from Changsun Wuji with some disappointment.
Wei Zheng, who only knows how to look for trouble, Xiao Yu, who is senile, Cen Wenwen, who is still in his infancy, Ma Zhou...
These people are no match for these officials from aristocratic families.
On the other side, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong... these people are invincible on the battlefield, but they can't really defeat these officials from aristocratic families with their words.
A burst of sadness suddenly rose in His Majesty Li Er's heart.
No one in the civil and military dynasties could suppress the arrogance of those officials from aristocratic families. How sad!
Once upon a time, he, Li Er, once proudly said - all the heroes in the world are under my command!
Now it seems that the old ones are old and the young ones are young. During the Zhenguan Dynasty, they were somewhat indifferent!
A huge sense of crisis enveloped His Majesty Li Er.
He clearly knows that if this problem is not solved, it will be even a hundred times more dangerous than the crisis faced by the drought!
He secretly decided in his heart that even if his reputation was tarnished, he would rather punish himself than compromise with a noble family in the imperial examination.
Because the solution to the talent crisis requires the thorough implementation of the imperial examination reform without any possibility of surrender.
Only in this way can the court have fresh blood injected into it and break the situation where the officials of the aristocratic family dominate the world with one hand.
Unknowingly, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but think of Yang Fan.
It would be great if this guy was here. These family officials have never benefited from that guy.
His Majesty Li Er felt a little regretful. It would have been better if he had not removed this guy from his official position.
If Yang Fan was in the court, officials from these aristocratic families might not dare to be so arrogant.
Just as Li Er was thinking about how to respond, he heard a refutation in his ears.
"Cui Zhongcheng, although you are very old, you cannot rely on your old age to show off your old age. The court is not a nursing home, and seniority is not ranked according to age."
"Since ancient times, floods and droughts have been natural phenomena, but you regard this natural phenomenon as a sign of His Majesty's immorality. You are simply an old fool. You might as well resign and go home to retire!"
A series of crowds, although the words were harsh but the reasoning was not harsh, the entire Tai Chi Hall fell silent instantly.
This way of speaking is so similar to Yang Fan's stick, but the voice is not the same?
Everyone looking for reputation, come and have a look!
As expected, it was not Yang Fan who was holding the stick, but His Highness Jin Wang Li Zhi.
Although Li Zhi still looked a little dusty at this time, he spoke in a high-pitched tone with a hint of aloofness, very much like Yang Fan's boyish demeanor.
At this moment, His Highness Prince Jin has been sent to Junyangfang by His Majesty. Why did he appear at the court meeting?
What surprised everyone even more was that in the past, the King of Jin was known for being well-behaved and intelligent, but he spoke in a well-behaved manner and strictly adhered to the "etiquette".
It’s only been a few days since I went to Yang Fan’s place!
Unexpectedly, even the way I speak has changed.
But, to be honest, this way of speaking is really a bit bluffing!
Seeing that it was his son who stood up for him, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but nodded with relief.
When father and son go into battle, it's just different.
In the past, this son had a cowardly character and could even speak in a low voice. Unexpectedly, he had only followed Yang Fan for a few days, but he dared to argue loudly in the court. The change was really great.
His Majesty Li Er was even more convinced that letting Li Zhi follow Yang Fan was indeed the right decision.
What His Majesty Li Er didn't know was that during the past few days in Junyangfang, Li Zhi had encountered obstacles at every turn. He had no choice but to change his behavior and learned how to be shameless!
Everyone's eyes kept wandering back and forth between Li Zhi and Cui Fanbo.
This scene is so weird, forming an obvious contrast.
A young person can be called a young man...
An old man was buried up to his neck in loess...
The two of them are actually several generations apart, but these two are fighting each other!
Therefore, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
However, Cui Fanbo, who was scolded openly and secretly for being cynical, immediately quit. With a red face, he cursed angrily: "What I said is the most reasonable and righteous thing in the world. In all dynasties, as long as there is a severe drought, the emperor will issue an edict to punish oneself."
Moved God, how can I say that I am old and neglect my old age."
Li Zhi was not afraid at all and scolded angrily: "You are really talking nonsense. You are just talking nonsense. If it is like you said, as long as there is a natural disaster, the emperor will lose his virtue. Then during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, floods often occurred. Doesn't it mean that the virtues of these saints are not worthy of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
Bit?"
Unexpectedly, Li Zhi was so eloquent. Cui Fanbo was slightly stunned, and then shouted angrily: "How dare you talk nonsense? When did I say that saints are not worthy of their virtues? You are simply changing the concept. What we are discussing now is
The current drought..."
Li Zhi chuckled and said: "Since you want to talk about the drought in this dynasty, I will also tell you that since the floods of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors were not caused by immorality, then the drought of the current dynasty was not caused either. This is the principle of the world.
, how can you allow me to secretly change my concept?"
Cui Fanbo was directly asked, and he hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
However, it is really funny to see a person who is about to enter the coffin being called out by a teenage boy and an old boy one after another.
"Pfft!" Someone laughed on the spot.
Cheng Yaojin, in particular, burst out laughing: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, is really like Yang Fan in his rogue spirit. It's so funny. It's just the same mold. If you don't know, people would think that King Jin is...
Where’s that guy Yang Fan’s illegitimate son!”
This time it was not just Cheng Yaojin, but the row of generals wearing helmets and armor were so out of breath with laughter that they shed tears!
In an instant, the court hall was in chaos.
Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Zhi in surprise. He really didn't expect that the usually timid King Jin could be so eloquent.
I was secretly confused in my heart, could that guy Yang Fan really change a person so easily?
His Majesty Li Er also cast an appreciative look.
This son is so considerate that he actually protects his father. His timidity is indeed like that of Yang Fan.
But when I heard Cheng Yaojin’s words, why did I feel so uncomfortable?
How could his own son be like Yang Fan's illegitimate son?
Cheng Yaojin, this old fool, is so outspoken.
When Li Zhi heard Cheng Yaojin's words, his pretty face was so depressed that he was about to cry.
Yang Fan is so hateful, who is like his illegitimate son?
What's more, the age difference between the two is seven or eight years, so it is impossible for them to be as outrageous as Cheng Yaojin said.
But facing an old killer like Cheng Yaojin, Li Zhi didn't dare to get angry at all and could only focus on the court.
But some people saw that the good situation was about to disappear and quit immediately!
I saw Yu Wenhong, the minister of Taichang Temple, slowly coming out of his class and bowing in salute.
"The laws of nature are clear and can be moved by emotion. Now the drought in Guanzhong is serious. I sincerely request your majesty to immediately issue an edict to punish yourself in order to save the people of Guanzhong..."
This old man's eyebrows drooped from the corners of his eyes, and you could tell that he was well-maintained. He looked like a well-educated person, but his words made people dare not compliment him.
The old man's voice was not loud, but it was full of force, and it seemed particularly clear in the noisy court.
The main hall became quiet again, and many people looked at Taichang Temple Qing Yu Wenhong in disbelief.
This old man has quite a lot of background!
Everyone knows that the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty are powerful, but they do not dare to underestimate the eight great families of the Tang Dynasty.
The Eight Great Gates were known as the "Eight Pillars Kingdom" in history.
The history books of the Tang Dynasty say: "Those who are called powerful people today are praised by the Eight Pillars of the country. At that time, it was prosperous and prosperous, and nothing can be compared with it."
It can be seen from this that the background of the Eight Great Gates is not much worse than that of the Five Great Seven Watches.
And Yu Wenhong came from the Yuwen clan among the eight great clans.
The Yuwen Zong clan has always presented itself to the court with a neutral attitude.
Now that she is participating in the process of forced uterus, many people are really shocked.
After hearing Yu Wenhong's words, His Majesty Li Er's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and his tiger eyes flashed fiercely from time to time, clearly very angry.
After all, Yu Wenhong's implicit meaning was that Li Er's misconduct led to God's punishment.
It was necessary for Li Er to make an apology to God and pray for God's forgiveness.
In the final analysis, I believe that everything is His Majesty Li Er's fault, and I also want Li Er to admit his mistakes obediently.
It is undeniable that sometimes His Majesty Li Er is a very generous person.
No matter what you say or scold, he will let it go and even adopt it.
But sometimes, Li Er is a very narrow-minded person because he values his reputation very much.
If someone doesn't care about his reputation, even if you die, your tombstone will be smashed.
Wei Zheng suffered such consequences after his death.
But now Yu Wenhong's direct and merciless threats have indeed touched His Majesty Li Er's bottom line.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was on the verge of an explosion. If he hadn't tried his best to control it, he might have gone crazy long ago.
Since he came to the throne, His Majesty Li Er has been working hard to make the Tang Empire extremely powerful, even far beyond any other prosperous era.
In order to achieve this goal, Li Er could endure Wei Zheng's merciless remonstrances and the nit-picking impeachments and remonstrances of Yushitai officials.
Because he understands and listens to the truth.
Only by controlling his emotions and putting himself in the perspective of a bystander can he look at the problems that arise in the operation of the country more clearly and solve the problems more rationally.
However, this does not mean that he can endure such groundless slander!
Floods and droughts are natural phenomena, and only those people who are illiterate will be easily deceived.
Think this is related to the emperor's virtue, and those Confucian students who are well-read in classics and history, don't they understand that it is just the law of heaven and earth?
In order to achieve their goals, these people actually told lies and put a shit basin on the head of the emperor. It was so shameless!
His Majesty Li Er's face was livid and angry.
But before he could break out, he saw more than half of the officials in the court kneeling on the ground, shouting: "I sincerely ask your Majesty to issue an edict to save the people of the world!"
His Majesty Li Er stared dumbfounded at what was happening in front of him, it was simply unbelievable.
Are these guys really not afraid of death?
Are you really not afraid that Li Er will kill them all?
But after thinking about it, Li Er knew that he really didn't dare to kill all these people.
Because there is only one consequence of doing so - Chao Gang is paralyzed and the world is in chaos!
Looking at these loyal ministers and martyrs who used the common people in the world as an excuse to intimidate themselves, His Majesty Li Er secretly despised them.
What a group of good ministers he has!
For the benefit of the family and for future generations to enjoy their privileges from generation to generation, these guys really risked their lives!
In their eyes, as long as they can hold on to the privileges of aristocratic families and prevent them from being eaten away bit by bit, they will not hesitate to be shattered to pieces.
What's more, it's just shameless now, and it's simply too childish for these officials from aristocratic families.
But they didn't think about it and tried hard to make themselves submissive and prevent the imperial examination.
Then it is better to strengthen the competitiveness of the children and enhance the heritage of the family so that the family can always maintain its advantage.
Just when His Majesty Li Er was desperately trying to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, anxious shouts came from outside the palace.
"All the guards listen to the order. No matter who comes, as long as they dare to approach Taiji Hall, I will shoot it down..."
Then, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the palace, and it was obvious that the guards were setting up a formation to deal with possible invading enemies.
The sudden change attracted the attention of everyone in the palace.
Looking up, he saw the leader of Baiqi striding in from the door in a hurry.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er, Li Junxian reported anxiously: "There is an unknown object in the sky approaching the palace. According to the observation post, there are people on it. Judging from the direction of flight, it should be flying towards the palace.
Yes, please your Majesty and all your lords to stay away for the time being, and wait until the ministers are sure they are safe, and then ask your Majesty to deal with it."
After hearing what Li Junxian said, His Majesty Li Er thought it was a fantasy.
People flying in the sky, do you think they are gods?
The court officials also had expressions of disbelief. Driven by curiosity, they all ran towards the entrance of Tai Chi Hall without paying attention to the court meeting.
Li Zhi was young and ran slowly, so he was the last one to run outside.
When he stepped up and crossed the crowd and saw the bigger and bigger flying objects, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"It turns out that what Marquis Zhongyi said is true. People can really fly freely in the sky."
Other officials were also whispering to each other and discussing.
"Do you think that was the assassin's suspicion formation?"
"In my opinion, could it be something like a Kongming Lantern? How could there be people on it? It's impossible for people to fly freely in the sky like birds!"
"I don't think it's possible, but the person sitting on it looks very human. Could it be a god?"
His Majesty Li Er frowned and looked into the distance, feeling extremely shocked.
With his eyesight, he could certainly see that there were people on the flying object above, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Since he was the last one to come out, His Majesty Li Er stood beside Li Zhi. Naturally, he heard Li Zhi's muttering and asked, "Zhinu, you mean... the person above is Marquis Zhongyi?"
"Marquis Zhongyi promised to take the little Sizi to fly like a bird..." Li Zhi told what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and the shock in his eyes had not receded.
He raised his eyes and glanced at His Majesty Li Er, then continued: "Today, Marquis Zhongyi asked me to return to Chang'an first. Marquis Zhongyi said that he would fly to the palace with little Sizi to visit his mother. I thought Marquis Zhongyi was bragging, but I didn't know
...Although I can't see clearly who the people above are, if my guess is correct, they should be Marquis Zhongyi and Xiao Sizi."
As he said this, Li Zhi's eyes were full of envy. Which child doesn't have a dream of flying to the sky?
However, he was ashamed and annoyed.
At first, I suspected that Marquis Zhongyi was deliberately coaxing Xiao Sizi, but he didn't know that it was him who was slapped in the face.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned by Li Zhi's words, but he still pretended to be calm: "Pretend to be a ghost!"
But he was extremely shocked. Li Er really didn't expect that there was someone above him, and it was that bastard Yang Fan.
That guy can even fly into the sky, what else can't he do?
It's simply too surprising.
However, that bastard Yang Fan didn't give any notice before he came, and it caused such a big shock. It's so abominable!
However, this guy came just in time!
Seeing the frightened and frightened expressions of these aristocratic officials made His Majesty Li Er feel extremely relieved.
Although Yang Fan always gets into trouble, this time it was a good one!
