Chapter 122: Sophistry
There are some people, although you hate him and wish he died, but sometimes you admire him from the bottom of your heart, because he ...... It's all done right. Loyal words will be rebellious, and loyal ministers have always been hated by the monarch.
And Wei Zheng is such a person!
Li Shimin must admit one thing, he now very much wants Wei Zheng to die, die far away, it is better to hit the edges and corners at once, hit his head and bleed, and then abandon his bones and ashes, and relieve the depression in his heart.
But he can't, or not right now. The Tang Dynasty is in ruins, Jieli Khan has been looking at the Central Plains for a long time, and the shame of the Weishui Alliance has not been washed away by the rolling river. The civil withering, the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty was ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the Tang Dynasty at this time was too weak, even if it inherited the huge territory of the Sui Dynasty, but it was like a sick giant, surrounded by wolves!
The country has a minister, and it will not die in its country!
If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark. These simple and easy-to-understand truths have been recited by kings throughout the ages when they were ignorant, but there is a world of difference between memorizing and implementing.
"Xuancheng, I understand what you mean, why do you want to die?" Li Shimin's stiff face squeezed out a smile, and the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched tighter, but suddenly let go, raised his foot and took a step forward.
"I am not a mediocre king, but a minister is an upright minister."
He praised the officials present first and asked them to calm down, but only a few officials got up, and more than two dozen officials from the Yushitai were still kneeling on the ground.
Kneel, this word was different in the Tang Dynasty. They did not succumb to the sword of Hu Lu and the obscenity of power, but tactfully...... No, it's a tough fight!
Wei Zheng didn't appreciate it at all, and said sadly: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, intending to create a prosperous world...... Your Majesty is choking on food today, but how do you know that tomorrow will not be wasted in politics?
Xunzi also once said that Qiji can not take ten steps in one leap, and ten horses are not reluctant. Today, Your Majesty is relieved and let go of demons, and tomorrow ...... The monarch neglects his government, he gains power by treachery, the court will also be in a miasma, and the people will be mired in fire and water.
In this way, the dynasty's hegemony that His Majesty wants, thinks, thinks, and worries about will be wasted, and An Neng's troops will go out of Mobei to relieve the resentment of the Weishui Alliance? “
The noise around suddenly stopped, and the people who were laughing and watching the excitement no longer made a sound, but looked at the court official with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and a three-inch beautiful beard under his chin.
He is Wei Zheng, a speech official who dares to admonish with death.
The vermilion round-necked official uniform he was wearing was a little white, and the white was incredible, and the brown underwear in the bottom was also faintly patched, and he was very thin, and some of the thin ones could be blown by the wind at once.
But he is very tenacious, holding an official hat in his left hand and a shirt in his right hand, the head that is as stubborn as an old cow will never be lowered, if it is low, it will be the time of fate.
"Heh, what a stupid donkey, what His Majesty has promised, how can he easily go back on it?" The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Wei Zheng with disdain, and the saliva in his mouth really wanted to smack Wei Zheng's face.
"Ridiculous, really ridiculous, is there really a word that dares to die? If that Taoist priest can really become the demon of the cholera dynasty one day, he only needs to send two sword and axe men, take advantage of his unpreparedness, and directly kill the matter, where is there such trouble. It is also necessary to disobey His Majesty's decree......."
After that, the eldest grandson Wuji carefully smoothed the folds on his clothes, and the jasper hairpin on his head was also fixed meticulously, he lifted the heavy hem with his hand, stood out from the ministers, and walked a few steps dignifiedly, full of aristocratic upbringing and demeanor.
But...... He knelt down, knelt in front of the official, his expression was full of indifference, and the official hat fixed with a jasper hairpin on his head was also taken off and placed on the ground, and his hair was suddenly disordered, and he bowed and said: "The eldest grandson of Weichen Wuji...... Seconded what Wei Zheng said, punish the demon who beheaded the country! ”
In the last sentence, he said it categorically, and there was no room for negotiation.
Seeing this, the ministers in the court also walked out of their seats in twos and threes, some of them were old, some were younger, the old ones could not walk, and they needed the support of the servants, and the few were pinching the corners of their sleeves, and their hearts were very nervous, but they still raised their heads and walked forward with high morale.
"The ministers seconded what Wei Zheng said, the ragged hair comes from the microfilament, and the breaking begins with the first attempt!"
With a plop, hundreds of courtiers knelt down with their robes on their knees, and their tone was resolute. Is it forcing the palace at the moment? Or exhortation?
The Emperor couldn't figure it out, but he also figured it out. There is a meteorology, called Zhenguan, and there is a spirit, called Wei Zheng.
It is this atmosphere and courage that the cunning and fox-like eldest grandson Wuji chose to kneel, instead of lurking in the shadows like a hunter, even though the prey is delicious, it can ...... Turning one's back on the principle and capturing a doe with a young child is something that people and gods are angry about.
Good rain knows the season, when spring happens.
In the spring of Chang'an City, there is a spring rain every two or three days. The spring rain is not heavy, and it is like a soaked rain, soaking the clothes, but it will not make people feel bored.
But today's Li Shimin is a little annoyed, annoyed headache, the ministers stood up to support Wei Zheng, he was pleased, but also frightened.
The authority of the emperor seems to be bound by something called truth, and if it breaks through this constraint, it is a faint king, and if it is willing to be imprisoned, it is ....... Mingjun.
And Li Yuan, who was standing on the side, didn't feel good in his heart, did he follow Wei Zheng's loyal and straightforward remarks and betray Qing Yu's teammate, or protect his teammates and be a villain?
This matter seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for him to end it, so he simply asked Qing Yu to fool Li Shimin and the courtiers, and then grabbed Qing Yu's handle, and then the two of them partnered to sell perfumes, secretly making a fortune, and even used the sign of "fairy energy" to attract hot spots.
But I never expected that the plan without loopholes was easily torn apart.
"I don't agree with what you say." Li Yuan finally gritted his teeth and stood up, after all, he couldn't see death without saving Qing Yu, and said: "If Wei Zheng said, ragged hair from microfilaments, and broken shoes start from the first try, then I simply don't wear clothes, anyway, they will be broken in the end, and they don't need to wear shoes, and they will be worn by their feet in the end anyway."
I once read a small story on "Han Feizi", once upon a time, there was a Zheng Guoren who wanted to buy a new shoe, so he measured the size of his feet in advance, but when he arrived at the shoemaker's house, he found that the size was forgotten at home, so he hurriedly ran home, but in the end, the market was dispersed and the shoes were not bought.
This is what Han Zi said, Zheng people buy shoes!
Now that the government is abandoned, why don't you wait and see, why do you have to use the measured size? “
"Sophistry! Sophistry!" Wei Zheng gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.
