In this world, there is such a type of people.

They do not react quickly, have poor verbal organization, and fail every quarrel in the face of aggressive opponents. In retrospect, their minds were always filled with all sorts of clever responses to the heated debate of that time, but when it came time to quarrel, they could not say a word.

You may even be to death by your opponent.

Taiwei Liu is such a person.

After retreating from the dynasty, Gao Li disappeared directly. And Mrs. Liu stayed there, trembling with anger.

"King Yannan, he is simply deceiving people too much! Deceiving people too much!" Taiwei Liu roared. Colleagues who had a good relationship with him on the side stepped forward to comfort him.

"Captain Liu, let's get out of here first, don't talk about it here. A friend said kindly.

"Tell me, what kind of did this Gao Li just say? As Your Majesty's Imperial Lieutenant, if Your Majesty doesn't give an order, can I use force at will?"

"That can't be. ”

"Yes, but listen, what does he mean by what he said about initiative? Oh? Your Majesty didn't speak, and I ran away with my soldiers. What am I doing? I know that I am loyal to the country, but I don't know if I think I want to rebel fucking again!"

"It's just, it's too unusual. ”

"What else do you say, the salary-holders, the profit-seekers, and the path-openers, why haven't I heard His Majesty say this?! This is clearly what he said! This shameless guy dares to put so many names on himself in front of His Majesty, how shameless must he be?"

"Yes, yes, it's shameless. ”

"And what do you say to go to my door and whip my birds, I will go back today and put all my birds at the door, I want to see who dares to touch a feather of my birds!"

"Yes, let's bring all the birds!"

"What else?

"And ......"

"Say!"

"Also, the lower officials don't understand, why is this Gao Li so high-flying, but Your Majesty, it seems that he can't hear or see?"

In an instant, Mrs. Liu quieted down.

The enthusiasm that had just been ignited by Gao Li's scolding instantly became cold.

People are in the court, promoted and degraded, in addition to their own efforts, there is also whether the emperor likes you or not.

What just happened in front of me was actually not complicated, it was just a quarrel between the two ministers. In this court, in fact, there are people quarreling every day. But there has never been a situation where two people quarreled, one was beaten, but he was still unharmed.

Mrs. Liu fell silent and stopped talking, but walked away quickly. When I returned home, I saw my wife from a distance, and I walked towards me and glanced at the study. His face became even more grim, and he walked into the study in silence, where he stood with his back to the main entrance. The man was cloaked in a cloak and hooded to hide his face.

Taiwei Liu walked up to the front and arched his hand: "Your Royal Highness, you can make me miserable." ”

The man turned around, and the face under the hood was indeed the eldest prince Chu Wenjin.

Chu Wenjin frowned and said, "My intention was just to test, and I didn't expect that Gao Li to really dare to make a move in front of his father." ”

When Taiwei Liu heard Chu Wenjin say this, he suddenly felt that his face seemed to be a little hot. He said in a low voice: "Your Highness fully supports me against King Yannan, what is your intention? In my opinion, Your Highness should have a good relationship with King Yannan." ”

Chu Wenjin said: "I just want to see what the status of this Gao Li is in the eyes of my father." When he made such a fuss, I understood. ”

Liu Taiwei said: "Then what should I do next?"

Chu Wenjin said: "Report to the official, after all, it seems that my father is protecting this Gao Li." ”

On the other side, in King Yu's mansion, Chi Yansuo talked about what happened in the court just now, and King Yu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Taiwei Liu doesn't support anyone on his face, but behind his back, he is the eldest brother's person, this time he dares to stand up, it should be the meaning of the eldest brother." The eldest brother may want to test his father's attitude towards this Gao Li, which is exactly what our brothers want to know. ”

Chi Yansu shook his head and said, "You guys, you always feel that you can calculate your father. But you don't know at all, your father must have wanted to see through your mind a long time ago, so he simply planned and directly got Gao Li. What kind of person is Gao Li? He is not even afraid of your father and emperor, and he can be afraid of a little lieutenant? What's more, don't forget, if it is cunning, you brothers together may not be that Gao Li's opponent. This time, he deliberately made a lot of nonsense above the court, that is, he calculated that you couldn't do anything about him, and he deliberately angered you. Your eldest brother is not smart this time. ”

King Yu said: "I helped Gao Li solve the threat of the Sucha tribe, and this time the eldest brother made another stupid move." At least the relationship between me and Gao Li can improve a lot. ”

Chi Yansu said: "The relationship can go further, but it's a pity that Gao Li is too tactful." If you want to win over, you have to take it step by step, and if you move a little faster, you can make him alert. ”

King Yu said: "Teacher, rest assured, my support for Gao Li is bound to win! Looking at my father's attitude towards Gao Li, I also know that whether or not we can win Dao Gaoli's support for us means whether we become the new emperor or not!"

King Yu left happily, but Chi Yansuo was worried. Because with his understanding of the emperor, it is impossible for the emperor to make such an obvious situation, but what this emperor is doing, he really can't guess.

The emperor left, and so did Gao Li. He didn't go far when he was stopped by an attendant. No need to ask, it must be the emperor who has been invited.

For this emperor who always likes to engage in flowers, Gao Li knows a little bit about it, and he is not surprised by this.

Squatting outside the emperor's imperial study and waiting for a while, the emperor who had changed into his court clothes appeared in front of Gao Li. I thought I would enter the imperial study, but the emperor said to Gao Li: "Accompany me for a walk." ”

Gao Li said: "Yes." ”

It can be seen that the emperor is in a very good mood, with a smile on his face, although I don't know what he is happy about, but I think it must have something to do with today's affairs in the court.

"Gao Li, in your opinion, what is most lacking in our Martial Kingdom?" the emperor suddenly asked.

Gao Li thought for a moment and said, "Silver." ”

The emperor laughed and said, "It is worthy of Gao Li who fell into the eyes of money, and when he opens his mouth, it is silver." ”

Gao Li said: "After all, silver is the foundation of everything, and without silver as a guarantee, nothing can be had." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, silver is important. But I want to say, it's not the case. As he spoke, the emperor clenched his fists in front of Gao Li and said, "I'm talking about power, my power." ”

The minister was puzzled. ”

"Okay, you don't want a minister in front of me, you are not my minister, and you don't plan to be my minister, to change the word!" the emperor waved his hand.

"I don't know. Gao Li said.

"The bane left by the emperor, above this court, I want to implement some new policies and new laws, a group of people chatter, make a lot of noise, and even dare to blow their beards in front of me and stare at the table and smash the bench. If it's really for the sake of the country, it's just that, but none of them have any selfish intentions. The selfishness in their stomachs seems to be for me, for the sake of this country, but in fact they are all for themselves!" said the emperor.

Oh, I don't think I have enough power.

Gao Li actually didn't feel much about this. Maybe most people think that the emperor is a very beautiful job, but in Gao Li's limited historical knowledge, there are only a few emperors who are really beautiful, and other emperors, it is simply a miserable meeting.

For example, those emperors after the Anshi Rebellion, one is not as good as the other, and whoever will be the emperor in the future has to be decided by the eunuchs. The policies of the world are also from the mouths of eunuchs, and those emperors are called real grievances. And His Majesty just didn't want to discuss with anyone.

This kind of thing.

What the hell is going on with me?

Gao Li listened, and did not speak.

"Gao Li, tell me, is there a way?" the emperor asked.

"Yes. Gao Li said with a smile.

"Ha, I knew you kid had a lot of ways. Tell me, what's the solution?" asked the Emperor.

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense above the court, just push it out and cut it down. What is the wrath of the emperor, and what is the unpredictable power of heaven? One dissatisfied kills another, two dissatisfied kills a pair, and the whole family is dissatisfied and kills the whole family! No more, according to my estimates, if you kill hundreds of people, from now on, no one dares to say a word about what you say above the court. "Gao Li Dao.

The smile on the emperor's face was meaningful: "Gao Li, I'm asking you very seriously. ”

Gao Li said: "Back to Your Majesty, I am also answering very seriously. ”

The Emperor said, "I just want to implement my new policy, but I am hindered, and I am not trying to be a tyrant. ”

Gao Li said: "Your Majesty wants no one to disobey, then you can only kill." Or, Your Majesty can try to bribe the ministers with a silver tael. ”

The emperor smiled: "You guy really can't do without silver, I am the emperor, how can there be a reason for the emperor to bribe the minister?"

Gao Li said: "The people of the world are bustling, both for profit and profit." Since they are seeking personal gain, Your Majesty will give them some personal gain, isn't it much more comfortable than arguing in the court?"

The Emperor said, "Today there are people who quarrel with me for selfish interests, and I have backed down, and tomorrow there will be more people who seek personal gain from me!

"So. Gao Li smiled, "Killing the light is easy, it's easy, it's a hundred." ”

The Emperor laughed, shook his head, and said, "You, you, you are really more able to convince me than anyone else. In fact, I have told many people about this matter, and they have said it with affection and reason, but no matter who it is, what they say is not as effective as what you said. Absolutely obedient courtiers will let me ruin this country, but it takes too much energy to distinguish between loyal and traitorous ministers among those people. This emperor is really difficult to be. ”

Gao Li said: "So, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. ”

The Emperor nodded, and as he walked, he said, "Those who hold wages for the people must not be frozen to death in the wind and snow, those who seek the welfare of the people must not be left alone, and those who open the way for others must not be trapped in thorns." I don't remember saying these words. ”

Gao Li said: "Your Majesty, you didn't say it, this is what I said, but this kind of thing comes out of my mouth, it's not good." ”

The emperor smiled: "But these few words have confirmed the image of Mingjun for me." You guy, you have a quick brain and a lot of courage. Dare to slap Mrs. Liu's mouth in front of me, what do you think of it?"

Gao Li said: "I didn't think much about it, anyway, Your Majesty, you just wanted me to bring out the whole thing, think about it, the biggest thing that can be done in the court is a fight." I didn't expect that Captain Liu to be so calm, I gave him a mouthful, but he didn't move. I wanted to show your majesty a set of my fighting skills. ”

The emperor shook his head and said, "Taiwei Liu's matter, no matter whose bad idea it is, this approach is not very smart. That man is tempting me, and he is tempting you, but in the end he is still tempting me. He wanted to know how much I could tolerate you. ”

Gao Li smiled: "Thank you Your Majesty for your patience." ”

The emperor also smiled: "Today's thing is to be done for others to see, so it's okay if you go a little too far." Next time, you'll slap someone in the mouth in front of me a million times. ”

Gao Li said: "There should be no next time." ”

"Tell me about the West Frontier. The emperor changed the subject.

"My people went over there to visit relatives and were arrested, and when His Majesty let me go, I will go to the western Xinjiang to have a look. "Gao Li Dao.

"Could it be that you plan to help me solve the problem of the Holy Dragon by the way?" the emperor was full of anticipation for Gao Li.

"I'll try my best. The holy dragon is the common ancestor of the fire worshippers, and he can't touch it, so he can only wait for me to solve my family's affairs over there and have an in-depth exchange and discussion with the fire worshippers. "Gao Li Dao.

"I'm relieved to have you here!" said the emperor patting Gao Li on the shoulder.

With your words, I am even more uneasy.

The next day, Mrs. Liu's family really went to Jingzhao Mansion to sue Gao Li. As a result, Jing Zhaoyin said that it was not Gao Li who was fighting, but the donkey, and Gao Li must not be summoned. So there was a magical scene in Jingzhao Mansion, a group of people from Mrs. Liu's family went to court with a donkey. On the same day, the people who came to see the excitement sent Jingzhao Mansion to the water. Everyone wants to see this unique promotion. The good news is that Shenjun Donkey has inherited Gao Li's language and thinking mode well, and has attracted a lot of onlookers to prove it for himself. After all, this time the facts are clear, the Shenjun Donkey is legitimate defense, and since it is legitimate defense, naturally there is no need to bear any responsibility. As a result, the Shenjun Donkey was released on the spot.

However, there was a magical scene in the court, as both sides had to kneel first to respect the law. As for whether the donkey should kneel with its front hooves or its hind hooves, many people in the hall were stumped.

After all, if it is classified, the front hooves should be hands. That's not kneeling, but the hind hooves of a donkey don't have the ability to kneel forward.

In the end, it ended with neither side kneeling.

As a result, this matter has caused a lot of discussion in the capital, and many idle and bored people began to think, what is the case with a donkey?

In the midst of this discussion, Gao Li and the others embarked on the road to the western frontier.
