"The Japanese country respects and respects Your Majesty. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, I have some divine grace and let the envoys of the Japanese country and other countries respect me. What's wrong? Since I was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, I have always praised moral education, regardless of the feudal lord. Foreign countries and the common people of the Tang Dynasty have always treated criminals equally. I don’t know, but during the period when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in charge of the country, was the dismissal of the criminals for personal reasons or official duties? Foreign vassals respect your Majesty and the achievements of the Tang Dynasty." Dai Zhide's strong words now made Li Hong furious.
Li Hong's face became colder and colder. He had never been so gloomy in the court. He stared at Dai Zhide with cold eyes and said word by word: "I tell you Dai Zhide! Is it Japan, Korea, or some other foreign country?" , It is your court uniform that I respect! Not you! To put it bluntly, if I put a dog in the position of the Minister of Rites, the Japanese envoy would not be fawning over you, but the dog! Taking the salary of the Tang Dynasty, eating the food of the Tang Dynasty, and wearing the cloth made by the people of the Tang Dynasty, I actually spoke for the righteousness of the foreign country. "
Li Hong turned to look at the courtiers and continued: "Here I am warning you all! No matter who you are! No matter you are a wise man who can bring peace to the world with his pen, or a brave general who can mount a horse to rule the world! As long as it is not for the stability of our country, as long as it is not for the welfare of our people, no matter how high your official position is! No matter how powerful you are, you will be dismissed! After that, you are a useless minister who speaks for others!”
"Dai Zhide, our Tang Dynasty is rich and powerful. It is the result of the combined efforts of the people of Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the frontier army, and the wisdom of all the ministers and workers! Rather than relying on the moral education in your mouth, say it Yes! Our civilization, our culture, our strength, and our wealth were obtained by the men of the Tang Dynasty with their blood and lives. Do you know who they obtained it from, those who just wanted to please you? The envoys of the vassal state were exchanged for it! We live in the mountains and have distant relatives, but we are poor and have no one to care about. This is what we should want to do is how to maintain our advantages and continue to develop them. How to make our country more prosperous? The people of Sheji can live a safer life, if they can not be invaded by foreigners! Instead of just doing it for the convenience of other countries' power! The four towns of Anxi are the land of my country and the people of my country! In the Duhu Mansion, a natural disaster combined with a man-made disaster caused so many casualties? Have you ever thought that the people under your rule are not as good as them? They have not yet come out of their ignorance! Why do you want to educate them first? ! We haven't done everything yet, but you have already started to enjoy it? Are you qualified to enjoy it? Dai Zhou worked hard and fought for the Tang Dynasty, but as his heir, you don't know how to protect the country he conquered. Are you thinking about how to make people respect you?"
At the end of his speech, Li Hong's face almost touched Dai Zhide's dark and red cheeks.
"Moral education is right, but you remember, our Tang Dynasty is for the people outside the vassal state to worship and fear, not to be gentle and petted like a lamb! When you are strong, they will naturally add wealth to your women. , you are weak, what they give you is cold cavalry and blood! Are you selectively turning a blind eye to the Japanese reinforcements of Silla and Baekje? If you don’t teach them a lesson, they will not know who is the master and who has the final say? !”
Li Hong stared at the court where the needle could be heard, and said coldly: "Father, I think that Dai Zhide has lost his virtue and is addicted to enjoying the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty. He has forgotten his responsibilities as a minister of the Tang Dynasty. Accept the The bribe was taken as a matter of course and without any remorse, the son asked his father to remove Dai Zhide from his official rank and title. "
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Zhi to speak, Dai Zhide opened his mouth to speak again. Li Hong became angry and took out another booklet and threw it over. This book was the one Xu Jingzong gave to his father and emperor today. What was given to him was different.
"You unrepentant thing, do you really think you did it secretly? You dare to say that you were not the matchmaker in He Lanmin's private meeting with the Ministry of Etiquette, Yu Quanxiancheng and others! I originally gave you some face, because you are Naixun After that, I will let you leave the court with dignity. You don’t know whether to live or die, so what else do you want to do?" Li Hong looked at Dai Zhide holding the pamphlet in his trembling hands, and had nothing to say at this moment.
Li Zhi glanced at the booklet in Dai Zhide's hand curiously, and Yang Wu quickly walked down, took the booklet from Dai Zhide and hurriedly handed it to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi took a closer look and almost fainted with anger. There were some of his preferences and how to cry to him about the situation in Liaodong and how to win his sympathy when he saw him.
"Resign from office!" Li Zhi endured his headache and dizziness, threw down the pamphlet, and said coldly.
Then he stood up and looked at the courtiers, especially Li Hong. After almost a cup of tea, Li Zhi, with Yang Wu's support, looked up to the sky and sighed, making up his mind and said: "Anything the prince did during his supervision of the country, The proposal was made, Zhongshu and the disciples drafted the decree, and Zhang Jianzhi was appointed as the Minister of Rites!"
Wu Mei, who was behind Li Zhi, was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Her heart was already in her throat just now. She was deeply afraid that Li Zhi would veto all the resolutions made by Li Hong during his supervision because of Dai Zhide's bribery.
In this way, Li Hong's prestige in the hearts of many courtiers standing in the court will be greatly reduced. Even when the prince oversees the country again, he may be in a situation where he is acting in a shady manner.
Fortunately, Li Zhi was able to calm down and balance the situation and consequences despite his anger, and did not veto any decision made by the prince when he was supervising the country. But fully accepting the crown prince’s decision to supervise the country, even including killing the Korean lady and He Lanmin first and then telling the story, what does this mean? I'm afraid no one knows what he is thinking at the moment.
Zhang Jianzhi was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. His family was already on the way. If His Majesty vetoed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's decision to supervise the country at this time, would he have to pack up and leave again
The ministers bowed and saluted at this moment. In everyone's heart, there was no clearer understanding of the position of the Crown Prince than when he was in charge of the country. His Majesty's full acceptance was first of all an affirmation of all the actions of His Royal Highness during the period of supervision of the country, and he would not do anything. A slight change.
Even after dismissing Dai Zhide, a third-rank official, His Majesty was able to fully obey His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal. This incident is enough to show that if His Royal Highness is a few years older, can he really act as an agent in the government
After the ministers sent Li Zhi away with their own thoughts, they saw Yang Wu suddenly flying down from above, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pulled Zhang Jianzhi forward to stop him.
Zhang Jianzhi didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly turned his body around. When he reacted, he saw a goshawk flying toward him in the air, and he screamed in fright.
"Lend me the Wat Tablet." Li Hongshun took away Yang Sijian's Wat Tablet. After Zhang Jianzhi was pushed away by Yang Wu who jumped down, the Wat Tablet in his hand flew towards Yang with lightning speed. Wu's face was slashed open.
Zhang Jianzhi felt a gust of wind pass by his ears, and then his whole body was knocked out by Li Hong.
Li Hong seized the opportunity with one move, and naturally he was unyielding. Without waiting for Yang Wu to retreat, he quickly took a step forward. After Yang Wu dodged the wat board in his hand, he retracted it before slashing with his arm. While stepping forward, the elbow greeted Yang Wu's face again.
The ministers couldn't help but hurriedly retreated around to make a clear space for the two of them.
His Majesty Yang Wujing ordered him to seize the prince and take him to the harem for punishment. They were all used to it, but it was the first time they saw it happen so suddenly, and the prince reacted so quickly and struck so fiercely today.
But no matter what, it is enough to show that His Majesty has treated the death of Mrs. Korea as a private royal matter, and it seems that it will not affect the stability of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position in the East Palace.
Among the officials who were watching, only Zhang Jian was dumbfounded. The old boss, whose mouth was swollen, had been shocked by the fight between Yang Wu and His Royal Highness, and his mind went blank.
I originally thought that the solemn and solemn court was just like before, but who knew that as soon as the voices of the court fell, a full-scale martial arts show was immediately performed in the court.
At this moment, although His Highness the Crown Prince was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and speed, he was not completely without advantages. He had nimble steps and a shameless spirit. With Yang Wu, he only dared to throw moves and would not hurt him.
Therefore, the wat board in his hand and the footwork forced Yang Wu to scramble. He took several steps back before slowly regaining his footing.
With the help of the palace maid and the pills prepared by Sun Simiao given by the imperial physician, Li Zhi is feeling much better now.
At this moment, Li Hong, who was looking at the tiger dancing with the wat in his hand, who only attacked but not defended, said coldly: "Yang Wu, it's time to try how many pounds he has. How can he be so decent and act like a monkey?"
The ministers were even more shocked. His Majesty really wanted to take out His Majesty the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince would definitely not be seen in the court tomorrow morning, but after a while, His Royal Highness’s miserable screams would be heard in the harem.
Zhang Jianzhi had just woken up and was almost knocked to the ground by Li Zhi's words. His Majesty actually wants to show off his real skills.
"Hey, I'm afraid of you!" The wat board in Li Hong's hand drew a perfect arc in the air. He suddenly stretched out his left hand to take it, and took a quick and flexible step forward.
He twisted his waist, turned sideways, and protected his left ribs with his right hand. His left hand was already holding the wat board and slashing towards Yang Wu's neck. Yang Wu was also shocked by such a ruthless throat-cutting action. It seemed that the prince had made a lot of progress during this period.
Yang Wu's feet were steady, and he fell backwards with the help of his strong waist and abdomen. Seeing that he was about to lose his center of gravity, his feet actually slipped for half a step as if he was drifting. He stood up again, his hands turned into eagle claws, and he walked towards Li Hong's right arm was handed over and he grabbed it.
