Chapter 1056: The Battle for the Title (Part II)
In the court, Li Zhi and Yu Zhining stared at each other angrily.
Yu Zhining's stubbornness did not give in, and Li Zhi's frustration and anger made the atmosphere in the court very embarrassing.
What's more, today is the first day of Li Zhi's official ascension to the court, Yu Zhining just contradicted Li Zhi like this, and didn't give the new emperor face at all, it would be strange if Li Zhi wasn't angry!
Even people who don't have eyes can see that Li Zhi is in a bad mood now, and I'm afraid it's only a thin line away from the outbreak, but Yu Zhining ...... It's really tough, he doesn't have the slightest intention of giving Li Zhi the slightest hint of stepping down.
In the crowd, Chen Fei, the core figure of the conflict between Li Zhi and Yu Zhining, touched his nose awkwardly and smiled bitterly. He didn't know where he had offended Yu Zhining, and he couldn't get along with himself in the court.
Seem...... There is no contradiction between the two, right?
Although Yu Zhining pointed the finger at Chen Fei, but at this moment Chen Fei couldn't stand up to defend himself, if he stood up, it would be equivalent to completely breaking with Yu Zhining, he asked himself that nothing offended Zhining too much, and it was not a wise choice to rashly offend a powerful minister, not to mention that Yu Zhining was still the faction of the eldest grandson Wuji, in case the entire eldest grandson faction was offended, it would be heheda. Now is not the time to tear your skin apart.
Secondly, he can't justify this kind of thing, otherwise it won't just be Yu Zhining, I'm afraid that the ministers of the entire court will feel that Chen Fei is shameless.
At this time, it is best to let the ministers who have some say in the DPRK and China stand up and defend themselves, Chen Fei looked at Cheng Yanjin...... Nima, the old man has his back to himself, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and he has been indifferent for so long, I'm afraid he won't stand up for himself! Old guy, taking advantage is a good hand, you have to count on him to pull himself at a critical moment, it's really harder than climbing to the sky!
Chen Fei set his sights on Li Zhuo again...... Nima, this guy is also a bastard, he has him for drinking and having fun, but he is very difficult to help but is very neat and doesn't know himself, his eyes are obscene and he pours out a glance, but he doesn't forget to look at himself here!
Look at Xu Jingzong again, well, at least this guy still satisfies Chen Fei, when he looks at Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong is also secretly looking at him. After eye contact between the two, Xu Jingzong quickly understood, and one step broke the awkward atmosphere in the court.
"Your Majesty! The minister has a word. ”
Li Zhimeng turned his head, stared at Xu Jingzong and said unhappily: "What do you have to say?" Are you here to oppose me? ”
Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister thinks that Your Majesty's reward is reasonable, Lord Chen has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with being named a county prince." ”
Hearing this, Li Zhi's face looked a little better, and his gaze at Xu Jingzong was much kinder, with a bit of sympathy.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all against him, only Xu Jingzong stood up and spoke for him, well, very good! Li Zhi was still young in the end, and his good impression of Xu Jingzong quickly rose a few notches.
Xu Jingzong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart that he had made the right bet! Just like Chen Fei said, no matter when, it is always right to stand on His Majesty's side! What's more, his remarks like this, which not only curryed favor with Chen Fei, but also catered to Li Zhi, can be described as killing two birds with one stone. As for some of the unscrupulous gazes...... Hehe, it's okay to ignore it, anyway, you can't do anything to yourself except dry stare.
"Lord Xu, what you said is so unreasonable, Lord Chen has made great contributions, is it possible that the ministers who followed the first emperor and even Gaozu in the present have no merit? Does Your Majesty want to reward them all? In this way, wouldn't the title of Datang become a cabbage on the side of the road, and everyone can get it? Yu Zhining said in a weird way.
Chen Fei nodded secretly when he heard this, and said in his heart that Yu Zhining was worthy of engaging in literature, his speaking level was high, and as soon as his mouth turned over, he forcibly tied up so many old ministers behind him, if Xu Jingzong's words were not right, it would be tantamount to offending almost all the ministers present, this move could not be described as ruthless!
But the strange thing is that Xu Jingzong seems to be open-minded and determined to fight Yu Zhining to the end.
He only thought for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Lord Yu, if nothing else, just because Lord Chen invented the thunderbolt fire, introduced it, and promoted new species, these two points are enough to be worthy of his title." The Thunderbolt helped the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Western Turks in the north, the three kingdoms of Goguryeo in Dongping, and the thirty-six small countries in the West, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty almost doubled, and since the army used the thunderbolt fire, the war has been advancing all the way, and the surrounding countries that have been fighting have surrendered in fear, which has greatly reduced the casualties of our soldiers.
Secondly, the introduction and promotion of new species, as well as the cultivation of new crops, have made the country have abundant grain and grass, and there has been no famine for at least five years. And I judge that there will be no famine in the future. With such a great credit, isn't it worthy of the title of county duke? Let me ask Lord Yu, have you done better than Lord Chen? Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, and please learn from adults! ”
Test! Xu Jingzong, this guy is crazy, right? Or did you just float up a notch? Chen Fei almost couldn't believe his ears, what he said just now could have been said by Xu Jingzong! He completely offended Yu Zhining! With his usual cautious character, he would say such things today, which really refreshed Chen Fei's perception of him.
Sure enough, Yu Zhining's face suddenly became ugly after hearing Xu Jingzong's words, and his neck turned red and said angrily: "What does Lord Xu mean by this? Do you look down on the old man? Hum! So the old man also wants to know, what great achievements has Lord Xu made, can he say it for everyone to hear? ”
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Jingzong began to play scoundrels again, he smiled, and said with a smile: "Lord Yu said that he was joking, Xu Mouke never said that he had made any contributions, nor did he ask for any rewards, and he stood up today, just to say a fair word." After speaking, he turned around and saluted respectfully to Li Zhi: "Please also ask Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”
"Good!" Li Zhi was very cooperative, and immediately came out to play a round: "You Aiqing don't need to say much, the holy decree has already been drafted and must not be changed, Chen Fei is registered as the Duke of Yongle, hereditary!" ”
Yu Zhining was unwilling, and wanted to defend a few words, but suddenly saw the eldest grandson Wuji in the class shaking his head at him slightly, even if he was unwilling, he could only endure it for the time being, and retreated with hatred.
Suddenly, Chen Fei felt that someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, he just met the gaze of the eldest grandson Wuji......
I don't know if there are any friends who have taken the college entrance examination, congratulations on your liberation, a beautiful world for adults is waiting for you haha!
