Tao Chuankai knelt again.
Kneeling this time is more standard than last time.
"The minister is terrified."
"Get up and talk." Li Hong's voice became more and more solemn, and the disappointment almost leaked from every word.
Tao Chuankai dared to stand up and knelt on the ground trembling.
Li Hong looked at his proud disciple with an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
He was originally a positive young man.
Why has it become like this now
Is it true that only the academy can cultivate real talents in such a big Tang Dynasty
"Little Tao, get up." Li Hong sighed, "I just listen to you."
Tao Chuankai hung his head and stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister does not want to sweep His Majesty Yaxing, but..."
"No need to explain." Li Hong said: "I understand that you are all for my good. But Xiao Tao, think about it, would you talk to me like this a few years ago?"
Tao Chuankai was stunned in place, and big beads of sweat popped out from the corner of his forehead.
He knew why Li Hong was so disappointed.
"Your Majesty..."
Li Hong said: "The confidant of the temple is always the daughter of the devil. They will not attack me until this trouble is resolved. You know, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the strongest country in the Great Wilderness. , How can those people in the temple be unfavorable to me in such a situation? So what is the reason for your worry. Of course, I also understand your painstaking efforts. Let's go back when we see a stick of incense."
Tao Chuankai breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Wise?" Li Hong hesitated, but said nothing more.
The time to stick incense soon came, Li Hong looked at the grassland reluctantly and left the beacon tower.
The Dragon Fight below is ready.
But after starting, Li Hong found out that he seemed to be going in the wrong direction.
"Where are you going?" Li Hong asked.
Tao Chuankai said: "Go to Nanying."
"Nanying?" Li Hong frowned, "Where is Meng Zhulu?"
Tao Chuankai said: "Yes, only by sending your Majesty to Marshal Meng's side, can the minister be assured.
"You just don't trust Guo Zhenying?" Li Hong said with a smile.
Tao Chuankai quickly said: "The minister dare not."
"I said not to dare in words, but I didn't mean to dare in actions at all." Li Hong said, "Finally, go to Meng Zhulu."
Long Hu was moving very fast, that is, he carried Li Hong into Xiying within a quarter of an hour.
Meng Zhulu had already greeted him at the entrance of Daying in advance.
"Weichen, see your majesty."
Kneeling down at the gate of Daying.
Li Hong knew that this was not the place to speak, but after a faint hum, he let Long Hu go on, until he arrived at the marshal's account of Meng Zhulu.
Everyone was screened back, leaving only Li Hong and Meng Zhulu in the tent.
Meng Zhulu's first sentence made Li Hong very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, you are too reckless." Meng Zhulu's attitude was more direct than Tao Chuankai.
Li Hong frowned and said, "I'm so tired of hearing these words. If you want to say it again, I will leave immediately."
"The minister knew what was wrong." Meng Zhulu bowed and sighed.
Li Hong said: "Aiqing, I know that you are worried about my safety, but this is not because you are protecting me and there is no trouble."
Meng Zhulu raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is not actually worried about your Majesty's safety."
Li Hong stared at him, showing a smile but a smile: "Oh? I'm a little bit curious, let's listen."
"The minister is worried about Chang'an." Meng Zhulu said bluntly.
Li Hong said with emotion: "Old Meng, only you dare to speak to me like this, and only you dare to speak so directly."
Meng Zhulu said: "Someone has to say these things. They dare not say, because you are afraid that your majesty will be angry and chop their heads. Then the minister is not afraid to lose his head."
"You are advancing my army." Li Hong said, "I'm really not afraid that I will cut you down?"
"Everything of the minister belongs to your majesty. Your majesty's heads of important ministers, the minister himself cut and dedicated to your majesty." Meng Zhulu said.
"Lao Meng, don't talk like that, it's not your style." Li Hong said, "Tell me, why are you worried about Chang'an? Do you think the prince is not good enough, or the four princes are not stable enough?"
This question is too sharp, and Meng Zhulu's answer is wrong.
Since ancient times, none of the ministers and generals involved in this matter has had a good end.
Summing up similar lessons learned from the past, a thick chronicle can be compiled.
"Why? Don't you dare to say it at this time?" Li Hong hesitated, "I really thought you were not afraid of anything."
Meng Zhulu said: "The minister really dare not say, because the minister is afraid to say it, your majesty will be sad."
"Why should I be sad?"
"because
For whether it is the first prince or the fourth prince, it is not appropriate. "
Li Hong's eyes sharpened instantly, and the majesty that belonged to the emperor was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Although he is old, the emperor is also the emperor, and the coercion released by ordinary people cannot be withstood.
Meng Zhulu lowered his head, sweat quietly slipping down his chin.
After a stalemate for a while, Li Hong reduced his aura and said faintly: "Since I dared to leave Chang'an, I naturally have a back hand. The edict has been written. If I really encounter unexpected events at the border, there will be someone in the edict. Announced to the world."
Meng Zhulu said, "But what if the person who announced the will died?"
Li Hong said: "The Master is still in Chang'an."
"Can the Master still believe it?" Meng Zhulu said.
Li Hong said, "Are you questioning the Master?"
"Now the entire Great Wilderness people are questioning Master." Meng Zhulu said bluntly: "Including the academy."
Li Hong said, "Then you are really wrong. The Master and the Academy are the cornerstones of my Tang Dynasty. Whoever wants to destroy my Tang Dynasty must first destroy the Master and the Academy. The entire Great Wasteland can find one that can destroy the Academy and Is the power of the Master? The temple? Zhiyue Guan? Zhongling Temple? No way. So no matter how the Dahuang people question the Master, we in the Tang Dynasty cannot question the Master at all, understand?"
Meng Zhulu said, "Chen, I understand."
Li Hong said again: "But what you said is correct. The will must be seen before it is considered a will. The academy never interferes in the affairs of the government. I did not let the Master know about the will. That is what I want to say, he too. I don't know how to listen. So I will tell you to listen to the will."
Meng Zhulu immediately knelt down: "Chen, respectfully accept the imperial decree."
"If I die, I will become the sixth prince." Li Hong said lightly.
Meng Zhulu suddenly raised his head.
Li Hong looked at him: "Originally, I wanted to give this task to Zhou Fei, but it was a pity that the guy was dazzled by the beauty and really disappointed me. In the competition, you must not let me down."
Meng Zhulu said word by word: "The minister will not let his majesty entrust him."
"Oh, there is one more thing. After I go back this time, Xiao Liu will also go to the Academy to study. Mr. Two of the Academy has agreed in principle to accept Xiao Liu as a disciple." Li Hong said.
Meng Zhulu felt relieved.
Although the academy never interfered in the affairs of the government, the acceptance of the six princes by Mr. Er had actually expressed his attitude.
The academy's attitude is clear, so many things will be very easy.
