Chapter 55: A look of contempt
The only question now is how determined the imperial court is, if the determination is big enough, they can enter the mountain tomorrow, and although the mountain is big and Huangzhu Mountain is secret enough, the officers and soldiers can always find them.
If we want to stop the offensive of officers and men in the future, we must not sit idly by, but must seize every opportunity to develop and strengthen ourselves.
In the mountains, there is nothing like black eating black and swallowing up other bandit gangs to increase their strength quickly.
Not only Qian Mengjiu and the others agreed with Huang Xueren's suggestion, but in fact, Li Xuan himself also agreed, although he knew very well that he was now a puppet emperor, but in this matter, he felt that it was still necessary to express his opinion.
So at this time, everyone heard Li Xuan sitting on the 'dragon chair' cough lightly, and then everyone quickly quieted down.
Although everyone only regarded Li Xuan as a puppet emperor, the puppet emperor was also an emperor, and the necessary respect on the surface was still given to Li Xuan.
Especially on a formal occasion like a court meeting, you can use all kinds of tactful excuses to persuade Li Xuan, such as Your Majesty's three thoughts, but you must not directly oppose Li Xuan, or even ignore Li Xuan.
Because in this case, you are not against Li Xuan, but against the regime of the Tang Dynasty itself.
And to oppose the Tang Dynasty itself is tantamount to opposing Liu Bagou, and even opposing Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren.
Needless to say, Liu Bagou is a person who wants to be Zhuge Liang wholeheartedly, playing the game of assisting the young master, and regards the Tang Dynasty as the greatest work of his life, and Li Xuan is the protagonist in this work.
Opposing the Tang Dynasty, or even slightly neglecting the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, can attract Liu Bagou's wild spray.
Even Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren wanted to use Li Xuan's signboard to realize their dream of being the founding hero.
After seeing that the originally noisy crowd quickly quieted down, this made Li Xuan find a little bit of the feeling of being an emperor.
It's no wonder that so many people want to be emperors from ancient times to the present, and now they are just a puppet emperor, but Liu Bagou and they all have to hold it.
If you control the real power and really become a powerful emperor who speaks your word, then what will it feel like at that time?
I guess it's even more exciting than taking an aphrodisiac!
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Xuancai slowly spoke: "What everyone Aiqing said is reasonable, if you sit back and ignore the thieves such as Jiguan Mountain, it will damage the prestige of my Tang Dynasty." If you attack it, the rear will be unstable! ”
Listening to these words in everyone's ears, everyone's feelings are naturally different, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren think that Li Xuan is muddy, what he says seems to be neutral, and both sides agree, but there is no point in fart, what they say is nonsense.
But after Liu Bagou heard these words, he secretly praised in his heart, and the young master he assisted was already becoming more and more like a son of heaven.
Maintaining a detached neutrality in the disputes of his subjects is a necessary ability to be a ruler.
Unless absolutely necessary, as a supreme ruler, he must not personally intervene in the struggle between his ministers, because this is tantamount to stepping down from the altar and turning himself into the same role as ordinary ministers.
But Liu Bagou didn't feel satisfied for long, when he heard Li Xuan say: "But ......"
The word 'but' immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Li Xuan, the emperor, was halfway through his speech, and a word but came out, which is not a good phenomenon, which shows that Li Xuan is dissatisfied with the existing state and decided to participate in the decision-making in person.
And what kind of decision will Li Xuan make? Is it biased towards Huang Xueren or Fang Dongquan? Most people pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
Only Liu Bagou frowned slightly, he didn't think it was a good thing for Li Xuan to make a decision in person.
But Li Xuan's words have already been said, even Liu Bagou, who is the prime minister, is not good at interrupting Li Xuan's words at will, after all, this is against the way of the monarch and the minister he has always adhered to.
Li Xuan naturally saw the change in everyone's faces, but he didn't care.
His dangerous situation has never improved much, and from the time he first arrived in this era to the present, he has been a thief who the officers and soldiers have tried their best to catch.
If you don't want to be caught by the officers and soldiers and die later, you have to use all means to turn the situation around.
Now, Li Xuan saw an opportunity to turn the situation around.
So he didn't hesitate to say: "It's okay that the first-class thieves of Jiguan Mountain refuse to submit to my Datang, but they dare to hurt my Datang's envoy."
The messenger is the face of my Tang Dynasty, suffered this great humiliation, I can't sleep and eat, I am afraid that the foundation of my ancestors will be destroyed in my hands, so I am not sorry to die, lest I have no face to see the first emperor! ”
When Li Xuan's words came out, the generals who couldn't read big words didn't feel anything, they just felt that Li Xuan had been wronged, and they had anger in their hearts.
But listening to the ears of Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua, who were born as scholars, it was like a stormy wave.
Why? The Lord humiliates the ministers and dies!
For these readers, who have read the books of the sages for many years and are about to lose their minds, there is nothing more important for them than these righteous names and the like.
Even if they don't care in their hearts, some of the concepts formed by so many years of reading are still deeply engraved in their bone marrow.
Therefore, even if it is superficially pretended, they have to pretend!
Immediately, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua, the three scholars, knelt down in unison, and Liu Bagou even shouted directly: "The crime of the minister deserves death!" ”
The three of them knelt down at once and said that they deserved to die, which made Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Butcher Chen a little dumbfounded.
The messenger sent to Cockscomb Mountain didn't cut off your ears, you have a fart sin, and you say that you deserve to die for your sins.
For a while, the atmosphere in this council hall was a little weird, those illiterate generals looked embarrassed, and the three prime ministers who could read and write were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing while saying that they deserved to die.
Butcher Chen looked at Liu Bagou who was kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth and said to Wang Wenhua, who was kneeling beside him: "Prime Minister You, what crime have you committed?" ”
As soon as these words came out, they almost didn't let Wang Wenhua, Liu Bagou, and Qian Mengjiu suffocate to death in one breath!
Now it is so serious, so lofty, it can be called a moment that can be written in the history books, this Chen butcher can ask such a difficult question, and being a minister in the same dynasty as this son is really insulting to Sven, insulting to Sven!
And we have a fart sin, we are just doing it according to the rules in the book, after all, it is written in many books, the Son of Heaven has been wronged, insulted, and the courtiers will kneel down in one go, and then say that they deserve to die.
As for Butcher Chen, these generals don't understand, because they are all ugly martial artists, as a scholar, they disdain to see these martial artists in general.
So after Wang Wenhua heard Butcher Chen's question, he just snorted secretly, and then cast him a contemptuous look!
Seeing this contemptuous look, Butcher Chen's mood instantly turned bad, Nima, you dare to despise Lao Tzu with a soft-footed shrimp who pees your pants!
