Chapter 189 Truth? Fair? Fist?

The turmoil in the fleet soon subsided, and all those implicated, without exception, were whipped twenty lashes, including the captains of nine ships.

However, for Li Zhen's punishment, everyone was convinced, and even grateful, feeling that Li Zhen was punished lightly, otherwise with their negligence, if something happened to Li Zhen, the entire fleet would not want to live.

After twenty lashes, the matter passed, and calm was restored in the fleet, only a few well-intentioned people noticed, and in the days after the incident, there were always people in the fleet who disappeared inexplicably, until one night, when someone saw several people throw a body wrapped in a long strip into the sea, and they understood something.

For a while, the ship was shrouded in silent darkness and terror, and finally someone couldn't stand the pressure and reported the matter to the captain, but the captain suppressed the matter. But in this way, the smart people understood something, and even the unsmart ones calmed down under the appeasement of the smart people, and the fleet returned to calm again.

On this day, Li Zhen was sitting on the deck of the Zonghai Fishing.

The reason why I sat on the Zonghai instead of sitting on the Emperor was because the Emperor's ship was too tall - although the height of the flying scissor sailing ship was relatively low among sailing ships, but after all, this was a 5,000-ton ship, even if the deck was relatively low, it was actually still very high, and the deck was too high for fishing.

On the contrary, the Zonghai is more suitable, because after all, this is only a third-class warship of more than 1,000 tons, not to mention that in order to avoid being hit by more arrows or cannonballs in future naval battles, the ship's side is designed to be very low, and the corresponding deck is lower from the sea level, which is suitable for sea fishing.

"Your Highness, I must have won today, and your golden saber is mine." Fishing with Li Zhen, of course, is his 'Five King Kongs', at this time it was Cheng Chuliang who spoke, the bucket beside him was already full of all kinds of sea fish, as big as a tuna more than a meter long, as small as a palm-sized squid, there are everything, there are more than 20 of them, especially the tuna, in terms of value, it ranks first among all fish, and this fish alone is enough to be worth all the fish that have been caught.

Therefore, whether in terms of the number of fishing or the quality of the catch, Cheng Chuliang is far ahead of others, and it is no wonder that he is so confident that he can win this game.

"Hmph, not necessarily." Li Zhen refused to admit defeat and said: "Things have not come to the last moment, never be too full of words." ”

"Your Highness, don't be stubborn, do you think you still have a chance to win?" Cheng Chuliang squinted at Li Zhen's bucket, there were only three or five, and the largest was just a sea crucian carp, which was too pitiful.

"Your Highness, now that the overall situation has been decided, how can you win your subordinates?" Cheng Chuliang said triumphantly: "You march and fight and even behave in the world, don't you like to overwhelm people with power?" Now that the general trend of subordinates has become a trend, how can you still have a chance to flip around? ”

"Hahaha...... You're right, I just like to overpower people. Li Zhen stood up suddenly, grabbed the fish bucket that was bright at Cheng Chuliang, and poured it into his bucket with a flip.

Looking at the stunned Cheng Chuliang, Li Zhen sneered shamelessly: "Now that I am the crown prince, I order you to hand over all the fish to the palace, I think you won't not agree, right?" ”

"What?" Cheng Chuliang was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Zhen to play this hand.

"Your Highness, you are cheating." Pei Xingjian couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up directly and accused: "How can you play like this?" ”

Luo Zhe also asked: "That's right, Your Highness, since you play like this, is there any point in our fishing competition?" ”

Zhang Cambodia shook his head and said: "Your Highness, as a superior person, you must be true to your word, and if you lose, you must admit it. ”

"I listen to Your Highness." Yu Chi Baoqing is still a simple and stupid look, but his statement made Li Zhen regain a little confidence, and at the same time, he finally understood why Yu Chi Jingde was so rampant, but he was never snubbed by Li Shimin. The reason is very simple, because Wei Chi Jingde is arrogant, but this kind of person also admits death, since he recognizes you as the master, he will definitely not give up on you easily. Li Zhen believes that if one day Li Shimin becomes a faint monarch and makes people angry, and everyone, including Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, leaves him, Wei Chi Jingde will definitely be the last person to stay in front of Li Shimin.

Looking at the three people who were full of righteous indignation, Li Zhen pretended to sneer and said, "Hehehe, are you still embarrassed to reason with this palace?" But do you know what the premise of reasoning is? ”

"Reasoning is reasoning, can there be any premise?" Cheng Chuliang asked rhetorically.

"Of course there is, the premise of reasoning is that both sides are on the same level, only in this way can we be reasonable, are you on the same level as me?"

"......" The three of them shook their heads in unison, one was the crown prince, and the others were all subordinates, of course the two sides were not at the same level.

"You are Your Highness, we are subordinates, of course it is different." Luo Zhe said: "But because of this, you should reason with us even more, who would be willing to be loyal to an unreasonable lord?" ”

"That's right, too." Li Zhen smiled coldly: "If you want to be reasonable, then this palace will teach you a truth today, and the truth that this palace wants to teach you today is that the truth is not in the hands of the reasonable side, but in the fist." ”

"Fist?" The three of them looked at each other, what does this have to do with fists?

"I knew you were going to be confused." Li Zhen shook his head and said: "You should know, what this palace believes in the most is the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, and the fist is another explanation of the law of the jungle - whoever has a big fist, whoever speaks makes sense, even if you are not reasonable, you can use your fist to snatch the truth back." On the contrary, even if you have a point, but your fist is not big, even if everyone knows that you have a point, no one will give you justice. ”

Pei Xingjian felt that Li Zhen's words were a little too extreme: "Can't you?" Then according to what Your Highness says, there is no such thing as fairness in this world? ”

"Of course not, the so-called fairness is relative, only the equal status of both parties is fair, one side is high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the other side is ordinary people, do you think that the official will be fair with a civilian? You, the high Second Ancestors, will you reason with those civilians? Even if you hurt them, you're losing money at most, right? Are you really going to obey the law and be put in prison? Li Zhen poured cold water mercilessly: "This truth is put on state affairs, and it also makes sense, my Tang Dynasty is rich all over the world, but it is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but the small countries of Nanyang are still drinking blood, do you think my Datang will be fair with these small countries in Nanyang?" ”
