Chapter 35: The Battle of Tongues
The eldest grandson Wuji led Yuesheng up the steps to the door of a huge palace, asked Yuesheng to wait for a while, and then walked towards the main hall by himself.
After a while, my father-in-law's hoarse voice came out.
"Spread Li Yuesheng into the hall!"
The two captain-looking officers next to the gate swiped their hands towards the main hall and said to Yuesheng
"Please!"
Yuesheng strode towards the main hall.
The first thing that comes to mind is the splendid palace, carved dragons and phoenixes, solemn, spacious and atmospheric, and the whole hall reveals the majesty of the royal family everywhere.
On the throne in the middle of the hall, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan was sitting on it at this time, staring at Yuesheng who was walking towards him with bright eyes.
It's just that the gray hair and the continuous wrinkles on his forehead indicate that he is old, old and weak, and his grasp of the empire will become weaker and weaker.
Under the emperor's throne, there were several officials standing on each side of the east and west, and a young man on the east side was the first, with a face like red jade, a brocade robe, and a pair of slightly cunning eyes were smiling at Yuesheng who came over.
Except for a Xue Wanche Yuesheng who knew him, no one else knew it.
And standing in the west is the handsome, heroic Third Highness, behind the Third Highness, Yuesheng in addition to the eldest grandson Wuji he knows, there is actually the Jinwu general Duguyun.
Yun Sheng walked closer with a calm expression, looked at Emperor Li Yuan sitting on the dragon chair with his head held high, and glanced at the emperor.
At this time, the father-in-law, who was standing under the emperor's hand, shouted loudly to Yuesheng in a sharp voice:
"Bold Li Yuesheng, when you see my emperor, you don't kneel down quickly!"
When Yuesheng heard this, the boss in his heart was unhappy, he had never knelt down to anyone since he was a child, even if it was the emperor Lao'er in front of him.
What's more, this emperor still has a grudge against his father.
Therefore, Yuesheng bowed slightly to the emperor, clasped his hands into fists, and said:
"The younger generation Yuesheng greeted His Majesty the Emperor, the younger generation grew up in the wilderness since he was a child, and he never knelt down to anyone, so he has never had this habit, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!"
"Arrogance!"
……
The ministers on both sides reprimanded one after another, and Yuesheng seemed to have stabbed the hornet's nest at once.
Yuesheng had a breezy expression, as if they were not scolding him.
"Your Majesty's edict, I don't know what's going on, if I come just to kneel for you, then I'll go back, the mosquitoes in the inn last night were too old, I didn't rest well, I have to make up for it today!"
Yuesheng looked at the emperor with a relaxed and happy expression and said.
"Tell Your Majesty, this Li Yuesheng is so rude, so he collided with Your Majesty, Weichen asked to arrest him and put him in prison."
It was the voice of a minister behind the young man who stood up.
Yuesheng looked at the minister who stood up, and said with a smile:
"If you don't kneel, you go to jail, right? I heard that the Waifan Turks annexed dozens of my states in China, capturing hundreds of thousands of my sons and daughters and millions of livestock, I want to ask this uncle, is this considered an insult?
And what is the sin?
On the contrary, I have to whisper to it, and I don't know how many treasures I pay every year! How can this be explained? ”
Which minister raised his eyebrows at Yuesheng, and wanted to scold him again, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't refute it, so he had to say another presumptuous.
The young man in Dongshou had been watching everything on the field, and when he saw that his subordinates were deflated, he had to stand up and say to Yuesheng.
"Li Yuesheng, right! I heard that you were young enough to defeat General Wei Chi, so I recommended you to the Upper Saint, which is a great kindness.
Knowing that you don't know what to do, seeing that it is a capital crime to see that you do not kneel, and you are still talking about the government, you are really bold, do you think you are invincible in the world? Believe it or not, you can enter this Jinluan Palace, but you can't get out! ”
The man threatened in a fierce voice.
"Presumably this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I am talking about the government in vain, is that sentence wrong? Doesn't the court even dare to admit what they have done?
In addition, I eat well and dress warmly outside, I don't want to be an official, I don't want to make profits, I live a leisurely and comfortable life, and I need your recommendation.
For you, this is called introduction, for me, this is called disturbance, forcing me to come here, this is rude to me, may I ask the prince, disturbing others, imposing your own will on others, what do you think you should be guilty of? ”
Yuesheng counted the prince's major crimes in an orderly manner, and the prince was so angry that he shouted: "I don't know what to do, come here!"
After speaking, dozens of guards came in at the door, holding a bright long knife in their hands and facing Yuesheng, just waiting for the prince's next order.
At this moment, the emperor, who had not spoken, raised his hand at everyone, ending everyone's discussion about Yuesheng's rudeness. Said to everyone with a smile:
"A few of you are all important ministers of the court, why don't you have a stomach? What are the benefits of competing with a teenager? What's more, you haven't said anything about people, it's a shame. ”
"Li Yuesheng, right?"
The emperor asked.
Yuesheng nodded, and the emperor continued:
"Some people compare you to today's Huo Quai, say that you are a young hero, and tell me that if you can send troops, you will be sealed as a wolf, and then Datang will have no worries."
"Originally, I didn't believe it, so I called you to come and see it, and when I saw it today, I really have some skills, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary rivers and lakes."
"To be honest, if you bow to me three times and nine times as soon as you come, I will really look down on you."
"But the thoughts and ideas you show now have made me very interested in you, I wonder if you have ever studied the art of war?"
The emperor is also a person with a belly, seeing so many people embarrassed Yuesheng, Yuesheng can easily deal with it, not as high as Yuesheng, so he is very careful about Yuesheng.
"I haven't learned it!" Yuesheng has studied with the fifth uncle since he was a child, how can he not understand the art of war, but Yuesheng does not want people to think that he has any intentions, so he said that he has never learned.
"Now that the Turkic army is invading, it is not far from Jingshi, what good way do you have?"
"I have never met the Turks, I have never understood them, I dare not talk about them, they are all jokes on paper!"
"Hmmm! That's right, there is a way to sit and talk about the Tao, it is better to get up and do it. I'm getting more and more fond of you! ”
"Would you be willing if I invited you to participate in this battle against the Turks?"
"The ambition of the Turkic wolf, wanting to destroy my Huaxia, everyone will be punished, Yuesheng is willing to go to the front line and learn a thing or two with the Turks!"
"Good! Do you have any requirements? ”
The emperor was very happy that Yuesheng was willing to go to the front line to resist the Turks, no matter what Yuesheng's attainments in the art of war were, just that legendary ability was enough to serve as a pioneer in front of the battle!
"Nope." Yuesheng said.
"Okay, then I will temporarily title you as a vanguard general, a third-grade soldier, and lead the troops with King Qin tomorrow, and then reward you when you come back for meritorious service."
"Okay! Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
Yuesheng bowed to His Majesty.
