This time, the ministers were determined to object, so no matter how Li Jun persuaded them, everyone just said "disagree", and Bao Qing, who had the strongest temper, even said angrily: "If Your Majesty really wants to drive the royal expedition, then step on the corpse of the old minister, and after the old minister dies, hang the old minister's eyes at the city gate." ”

"Are you learning from Wu Zixu? Are you cursing me? Li Jun roared angrily.

Bao Qing put his official hat on the ground, and replied stiffly: "It's not impossible for Your Majesty to think so?" The head of the old minister is here, and His Majesty can take it if he wants. ”

Li Jun was angry and rushed to the crown, pulled out the sword beside him, and rushed straight to Bao Qing, everyone hurriedly stopped Li Jun, and finally Li Jun, who was angry, slashed randomly, and the curtain in the hall was cut in a mess.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled as if they had seen a big savior, and Li Jun's face darkened even more.

Soon the Empress Dowager Wei strode in, and everyone hurriedly saluted: "Ministers and others see the Empress Dowager." ”

Although Empress Dowager Wei has not taken care of political affairs for many years, the ancestral motto of "ruling the world with filial piety" in the Tang Dynasty is still there, so once Empress Dowager Wei gets angry or insists on doing something, even Li Jun can't stop it.

Empress Dowager Wei first glared at Li Jun fiercely and said, "Put away your sword, the sword of the Son of Heaven is to kill enemies and traitors, not to target your own ministers." ”

Li Jun hurriedly threw the sword to Liu Hong, and then bowed his waist and pleaded guilty: "Queen Mother, the son is guilty." ”

Empress Dowager Wei walked up to Bao Qing and personally helped Bao Qing up: "You are an old minister, Your Majesty is still young, how can you be so persecuted?" ”

"The minister is guilty, please forgive the queen mother." Bao Qing said immediately.

After Bao Qing retreated, Empress Dowager Wei said to the ministers: "All of you Aiqing are my important ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the wisest group of people in my Datang. ”

"Thank you Queen Mother for your love, and the ministers are ashamed."

Empress Dowager Wei waved her hand and continued: "The palace knows everything you discussed today, to be honest, I am very happy to see your loyalty to the emperor, but the emperor is personally conquest, and the palace also knows that the palace did not oppose it, but chose to support it, do you know why?" ”

"I don't know, please ask the Queen Mother to solve your doubts." The ministers hurriedly arched their hands and said.

Empress Dowager Wei glanced at Li Jun and sighed: "What kind of temper does this palace's own son have, this palace knows, if you don't let him go this time, with his stubborn nature, maybe he will do something in the future?" That's when it really makes a difference. ”

Li Jun touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard this.

Empress Dowager Wei ignored Li Jun and continued: "Second, Your Majesty loves martial arts, since he succeeded to the throne, in fourteen years, when did His Majesty stop using military force externally?" If this continues, everyone is in danger, and in the long run, the people's war-weariness will be very serious, so it is better to finish the war and completely sweep away the enemy, so that the people of the world can live a few more years of good life, and also take this opportunity to let His Majesty see the dangers of the battlefield, so that when he uses troops again in the future, he will also think more. ”

"Queen Mother Shengming." Empress Dowager Wei's words really touched everyone present.

Empress Dowager Wei coughed dryly and said: "This last point is the most important reason why this palace supports Your Majesty, because Your Majesty is the descendant of Taizu, and the descendants of the Li family can die in battle, but they must not be a bad seed." ”

"Thank you for the fulfillment of the queen mother." Li Jun knelt on the ground and said.

The ministers also knelt down and said, "The ministers will definitely assist Your Majesty and let Your Majesty return safely." ”

At this point, a turmoil finally subsided, and the ministers were no longer obsessed, and after everyone went home, they immediately started to work, and the horror machine of Datang turned again, Zhang An said a word, so that everyone agreed, since we can't avoid it, then we can only work hard to do this road.

Li Jun returned to Xiao Meier's dormitory, Xiao Meier just helped Li Jun take off his coat, Li Jun lay on the bed all of a sudden, Xiao Meier helped Li Jun press his head, and asked pitifully: "Your Majesty, the ministers still don't agree?" ”

Li Jun shook his head and said, "The queen mother personally came forward to persuade them, and they all agreed. ”

"Then what else is your majesty unhappy about?" Xiao Mei'er continued to ask.

Li Jun held Xiao Mei'er's hand and said: "Mei'er, when I told them at that time, I didn't understand it one by one, especially Bao Qing's donkey, and I almost told me to the death, but as soon as the Queen Mother came forward, they were all honest, and they agreed to the Queen Mother's words, and I explained to them for a long time and no one agreed, which made me feel very frustrated. ”

"How can Your Majesty think that? There is a saying in the farmer's family that "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure", the queen mother is our baby, why should we be happy? Xiao Meier understands her husband's thoughts, without it, she has been the emperor for a long time, and she is used to saying everything, and suddenly there is a person who speaks more effectively than herself, even if this person is her biological mother.

Li Jun shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that I have a bad idea, Mei'er, you are right, the queen mother is our treasure, and it is our blessing that the queen mother lives a long life." ”

"Yes, is it right for Your Majesty to think so?" After finishing speaking, the couple laughed tacitly.

When it was time for dinner, Li Chengtang came over to say goodbye, this meal, Li Chengtang looked worried and sad, after eating, Li Jun drank a cup of tea and asked with a smile: "Okay, what can I ask now?" ”

Li Chengtang said with a red face: "Father, I heard that you are going to drive the imperial expedition in person, and let your sons and daughters supervise the country." ”

Li Jun shook his head and said, "It's true that I am in charge of the Imperial Expedition, but I haven't said anything about letting you supervise the country, who told you that?" ”

"Your Majesty, the sons are guilty, and the sons themselves guessed blindly." Li Chengtang hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Li Jun said with a smile: "It's okay, Fu Nian is giving you a lesson today, so needless to say, this matter must be told to you by Fu Nian, and I will talk to Fu Nian when the time comes, and some things can't be talked about." ”

Li Chengtang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Father, it wasn't Master Fu who told Erchen, Master Fu was sick today, so he didn't come to teach Erchen." ”

Hearing this, Li Jun's face immediately became ugly, if Fu Nian said this, he would have reprimanded him, and if it was the rest of the people, Li Junke would have doubted this person's intentions.

Xiao Mei'er saw that Li Jun's face was already starting to look bad, so she immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "Who said that?" Hurry up and recruit it honestly. ”

Li Chengtang didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he had to answer honestly: "Father, emperor, mother, Fu Shi didn't come to teach Erchen today, so Erchen went out of the palace to the welfare institute, and this matter was told by the eunuch Laixi, the steward of the welfare home, and he said that Erchen might want to supervise the country." ”

"As an internal servant, Laixi is good at discussing state affairs, and he was sent to Luoyang to reflect on the miscellaneous sweeping class." Li Jun instructed Liu Hong lightly.

"No, the old slave obeys." Liu Hong didn't dare to slack off and replied immediately.

Li Chengtang saw that Li Jun was punished so heavily, he was frightened all of a sudden, and stood aside with a white face and didn't know what to say, Xiao Meizhi looked at his son's appearance, although he was very distressed, but he still couldn't bear to say anything, this time it was indeed Li Chengtang who said the wrong thing, Li Jun was just hit hard by the ministers, but Li Chengtang, who was the crown prince, was still here to listen to the villain's words and question his father, this really shouldn't be.

Li Jun sighed and said, "Cheng Tang, answer honestly, do you want to supervise the country?" ”

Li Chengtang struggled for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Li Jun and said: "Father, the son is not unwilling, since he was a child, his father and gentlemen told the son that the son is the future emperor, so the son has ambitions for the throne in his heart, but this ambition The son and son guarantee that he will never cross the line, compared with the lives of his father and mother, this throne is worthless in the eyes of the son and the queen." ”

When Xiao Meier heard the previous paragraph, she was really frightened, and then when she heard the latter paragraph, she was relieved.

Li Jun was also very satisfied with Li Chengtang's answer, patted Li Chengtang's shoulder and said: "Tang'er, don't be afraid, there are still three years to go, you learn slowly, and when your father and emperor drive the expedition, your grandmother, your mother, and your younger brothers and sisters will still have to rely on you, and my father hopes that you will be able to fully grow up by then, so that even if I have any accidents......"

Before Li Jun could finish speaking, Xiao Meier and Li Chengtang knelt on the ground at the same time and said, "Your Majesty (Father) is cautious." ”

Li Jun shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it first, I will arrange everything at that time, even if I really can't come back, I can guarantee that Tang Er will become the next son of heaven." ”

"Thank you, Father." Li Chengtang gave Li Jun a solemn salute and said.
