Chapter 300 Chapter 17 Court Deliberations (II)
At the beginning, Li Shimin remembered that the explanation of the dragon was clear, so at this moment he planned to show off it.
Looking at Xiao Yu's stunned look, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth suddenly hooked up with a smile.
"The dragon has been the totem of my China since ancient times, and at the same time, our emperors have also regarded themselves as dragons, but since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism, many people have ignored the nature of the dragon."
Speaking of this, Li Shimin stood up from his seat, and then walked down step by step, until he walked in front of Xiao Yu, and looked at him.
"The dragon is an ancient divine beast, it has great power, it can turn over rivers and seas, let floods flood the earth, and slaughter the common people at every turn, so the dragon is an evil god!
"Hiss......"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Xiao Yu suddenly gasped, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes.
There are many people like Xiao Yu, especially those civil officials, although they don't want to admit it, but he agrees with Li Shimin's words.
In all dynasties, which emperor did not have blood on his hands?
Looking at the shocked looks of the officials around him, Li Shimin's heart had a hint of joy, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled slightly.
"However, no matter how vicious the dragon is, it will not destroy its lair, Datang is equivalent to my dragon's lair, so I don't allow anyone to destroy it, and anyone who has ill intentions towards Datang will be killed!"
I have to say that although the same words come out of different people's mouths, the effect is completely different, at least Gao Ming can't reach Li Shimin's level.
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the court became quiet again, and even Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji, who had heard these words a long time ago, lowered their heads.
And the only one who didn't bow his head was the stubborn old man Xiao Yu, looking at the murderous Li Shimin, he looked at Li Shimin again without fear.
"Your Majesty, Zi Bu is strange and confused, the legendary Long Weichen has not seen it, so he doesn't know, Weichen only knows that the affairs of South Vietnam need to be considered in the long run, and you can't use swords and soldiers, please think twice!"
"You!"
Looking at Xiao Yu, who did not enter the oil and salt, Li Shimin suddenly had the idea of deposing him and then expelling him from Chang'an.
Of course, Li Shimin did this before, and he did it four times in a row, if you add this time, then it will be the fifth.
Looking at Xiao Yu, who was looking at him without showing weakness, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, and he immediately laughed again.
"Hahahaha, okay, Xiao Yu, haven't you ever seen a dragon? So today I'm going to show you what dragons are like. ”
Speaking of this, Li Shimin immediately waved his hand towards Liu Bing behind him.
"Liu Bing, bring the wine and fire folds."
"Yes!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Liu Bing hurriedly agreed, and then trotted away, and after a while, he came back with a tray containing a cup and a pot of wine, as well as a fire fold.
Looking at all this in front of him, Xiao Yu immediately frowned.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
Xiao Yu really couldn't figure out what Li Shimin meant by letting Liu Bing serve wine, was he going to give him poisonous wine to drink?
Not only did Xiao Yu not understand, but the other ministers didn't understand either, but Li Shimin didn't have to speak, they could only watch quietly, waiting for Li Shimin to give them an answer.
Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Li Shimin's face showed a smile again.
"Since I am the true dragon emperor, I am naturally different from ordinary people, today I will let you see, what is the real invincibility of water and fire!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin lifted the wine jug and poured wine into the cup, and before the wine was poured out, the ministers next to him sniffed, and then whispered.
"Suck and suck...... It's so fragrant, this seems to be the wine of the Tang Royal Club! ”
"Well, except for the Tang Royal Club, you can't get this kind of wine anywhere else!"
"Yes, yes......"
Xiao Yu was standing next to Li Shimin, he naturally saw it more clearly than others, and smelled it more realistically, and at the same time, he was even more puzzled in his heart.
"What is this? Drink? What does drinking have to do with fire and water? ”
Just when Xiao Yu's heart was full of doubts, he saw that Li Shimin had already picked up the fire fold next to him, and then opened it and blew it on.
When flames came out of the fire fold, Li Shimin smiled at Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Aiqing, don't blink, look at it!"
As he spoke, Li Shimin put the fire fold on the wine glass!
The moment the flame of the fire fold touched the wine glass, a blue flame rose from the wine glass.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly widened.
"The wine is on fire!"
All this in front of him can be said to have broken through Xiao Yu's cognition, and he was completely stunned just like Li Shimin before in the East Palace.
"How can wine catch fire...... It's impossible......"
When Xiao Yu was stunned, Li Shimin was not stunned, after lighting the wine in the cup, he immediately threw away the fire fold in his hand, and then quickly picked up the wine glass, opened his mouth and poured the wine into his mouth.
After pouring the wine into his mouth, Li Shimin immediately closed his mouth and held his breath, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
"Goo-dong!"
When the sound of Li Shimin swallowing the wine sounded, the surrounding officials reacted, and they immediately gasped.
"Hiss......"
They were standing around Li Shimin just now, so they could see the scene of Li Shimin drinking the burning wine clearly, and because of this, they were so shocked.
"Am I right? The wine that His Majesty drank just now was on fire? ”
"I also saw it, His Majesty covered his mouth and nose just now, just because he was afraid that the flames would erupt and burn us, right?"
"Yes, yes......"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile at Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Aiqing, did you see it clearly just now?"
"This ......"
Xiao Yu was standing face to face with Li Shimin just now, so he could see it more clearly than anyone else, and it was precisely because of this that his heart was also full of shock.
"It can't be! How is it possible for a man to eat fire? It must be a trick, yes, and how can any fire be blue? So it must be a trick! ”
For Xiao Yu, only this explanation can be justified, so he would rather believe that everything just now was Li Shimin's trick.
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Shimin did not get angry, but laughed again.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, you still have to deceive yourself now, okay, then I will give you a chance, as long as you can drink a glass of fire wine like me, and be safe, then I will admit that everything just now is a trick, and the matter of South Vietnam will be stopped, how about it?"
"This ......"
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Xiao Yu suddenly hesitated, looking at his hesitation, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth suddenly curled.
"What? Can't? Didn't you say it was my trick? ”
Xiao Yu was originally a violent temper, how could he stand Li Shimin's agitation, so as soon as Li Shimin's words fell, he immediately raised his head and stared at Li Shimin tightly with his two eyes.
"Who says I wouldn't dare? I drink! ”
Li Shimin was waiting for his words, so as soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, he slapped him with a "snap".
"Okay, Liu Bing, pour a glass of fire wine for the servant!"
"Yes!"
