Chapter Fifty-Six: The Blood of the Old Ministers Must Not Be Shed in Vain
Zhao Chen's series of words were unceremoniously said in public, and it can be said that he did not leave the slightest emotion, and after a series of words, the hall fell into a moment of silence.
One by one, they blushed, their fists clenched, and they looked like they wanted to refute Zhao Chen, but they couldn't talk about it, because what Zhao Chen said was true, even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't refute it.
When the matter of Shandong was just reported back to Chang'an, just like Zhao Chen said, when they only cared about arguing in the court, only Qin Cheng and the two families went to Shandong to gather a few carts of grain.
Later, when Zhao Chen went to Shandong, he asked them to raise donations, but they were reluctant to pay, and in the end, Zhao Chen used a trick to get the money from them.
At this time, they are scolded for being selfish, even if they are angry in their hearts, they have no way to refute it, because they are indeed selfish!
"Well said!" Just on the main hall, when falling into a short silence, a rough voice suddenly broke the silence, and with this applause, everyone saw that Chi Gong, who had always been at the court meeting, was like an old monk, and walked out of the courtiers.
"The old man is a rough man!" Wei Chigong strode to the middle of the main hall and stood up, and on his dark face, he looked at everyone with a somewhat unsettling expression: "Compared with everyone present, he is naturally stupid, but the old man understands a truth, that is, the official who has the ability to make the people eat is the real official!" ”
Old Lieutenant Chi Gong, with outstanding merits, has a high status in the court, and they are all silent on weekdays, standing up to speak at this time, no one in the hall dared to interrupt the words of the old lieutenant Chi Gong, they were all silently watching, listening to Yu Chi Gong talking there.
"The old man's background in iron!" The old lieutenant Chi looked at everyone respectfully, and said in a plain tone: "I can't compare to you who are pampered." The old man knows what it's like to be hungry! ”
When he said this, the old lieutenant Chi Gong suddenly turned his gaze to Zhao Chen, and on his dark face, a wry smile appeared, and he took a deep breath and said, "That's why I just heard the words of Chang'an Hou." The old man's heart is very touched, that is, the old man's heart has gone up! ”
When Zhao Chen heard Wei Chi Gong's words, he quickly put away the expression on his face, the old Wei Chi Gong was difficult to open, and now that he took the initiative to stand up, how could he hold the shelf, so he respectfully bowed to the old lieutenant.
However, the old lieutenant Chi Gong didn't seem to see Zhao Chen salute at all. His face suddenly turned cold, his eyes suddenly turned to everyone, and he suddenly raised his voice and asked: "So, the old man stood up at this time, and I wanted to ask you, why did everyone present at the beginning want to oppose Sui?" ”
'Sizzle~'
The old lieutenant Chi Gong didn't speak, this speech, but it was really not shocking!
As soon as these words came out. Everyone in the hall was slightly stunned. As if he had a toothache, he gasped and looked at the old lieutenant Chi Gong one by one, as if he had seen a ghost.
This old guy is really impatient, and this kind of thing can be said in front of hundreds of officials in the court?
Li Er in the main hall heard this. His face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot, his fists were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, but his eyes came into contact with the white hair and white beard of the old lieutenant Chi Gong. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger.
Zhao Chen looked at the old lieutenant Chi Gong, and began to admire the five bodies to the ground, in front of Li Er, the rebel leader, said anti-Sui words in public, this is not clear to say, Li Er's so-called order to be ordered by heaven, to put it bluntly, was snatched back from the hands of the surname Yang!
Although, that's exactly what happened!
"Since no one wants to say it, the old man might as well tell you!" Just when Zhao Chen secretly admired the old lieutenant Chi, he heard the old lieutenant chi say: "The old man's background in iron is to be able to fill his stomach, so he will pin his head to the waistband of his trousers!" ”
Speaking of this, the old lieutenant Chi suddenly untied it, and the streamers of the armor on his body were stunned by everyone in the main hall, and he divided the robe and armor on his body, and only took off a pair of sinus pants, and stood in the middle of the hall.
It's just that when the old lieutenant Chi took off his armor, the hundred officials who had a strange expression before, looked at the old lieutenant Chi who was only wearing a pair of sinus pants at this moment, and suddenly gasped as if they had a toothache again.
The front chest and back, and even the limbs, none of them were intact, and all of them were covered with large and small wounds, including arrow wounds, gunshot wounds, and especially the wound between the chest and abdomen.
Li Er, who was in the main hall, suddenly saw the scars on the old lieutenant Chi Gong's body, his fists clenched suddenly, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, he closed his eyes in pain, there were some scars, he personally bandaged Yu Chi Gong at the beginning.
There was a buzz in the hall, and the Wenchen who had seen such a broken body, except for a few of them, the rest of them turned pale one by one, thinking of the scene when Wei Chigong was injured, and their bodies couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"Such scars, not only you have Wei Chigong!" Cheng Yanjin, who was sitting in the class, suddenly let out a loud laugh at this time and stood up suddenly.
As he spoke, he walked to the middle of the hall, followed the example of Yu Chi Gong, divided three times by five, removed all the armor on his body, revealing a scarred body that was not reduced compared to Wei Chi Gong, and said as if demonstrating at Yu Chi Gong: "I have it too!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Shubao over there, and the person sitting there paused slightly, and then stood up like Cheng Biting Jin, and when he walked to the middle of the main hall, he removed all the armor on his body, and instantly appeared in front of everyone with a body that was even more broken than Zhi Wei Chi Gong.
At this time, there was no need to be deliberately reminded, the veterans present all stood up one by one, as if they were playing in public, their armor was removed, revealing a scarred body.
Li Er, who was originally with his eyes closed, had to open his eyes at this time, looking at the beloved generals below, the scars on his body, and suddenly opened his mouth and laughed.
"You've seen it too!" Wei Chigong's eyes looked at the people in front of him, and he said in a hard tone: "All the generals present are all scarred, but the old man wants to ask, what is this for?" ”
No one answered, most of the people present were officials of the previous dynasty, and. and they are all men of every family. Wei Chigong was born in iron, and the reason why he followed the army against Sui was to eat a mouthful, but it did not represent the people of these families.
As long as the Jiupin Zhongzheng system still exists, then the family will never fall. As for saying that the people will go hungry, that's not the family's concern!
"The old man's blood doesn't want to be shed in vain!" When Wei Chigong saw the main hall, there was silence, and a coldness flashed on his dark face, and he said in a hard tone: "I don't want to, when the people are hungry that day, they will come to poke the old man's backbone!" ”
"No!" When Wei Chigong said this, Li Er in the main hall. Suddenly, he said categorically: "Generals, accompany me to fight in the south and the north, for the sake of this Tang Dynasty, I have a scar, I can tell you here, in my lifetime, I will make the Tang Dynasty prosperous, the country and the people safe!" ”
"Would you like to join hands with me?" Li Er said this. His eyes looked at the people below, especially at the people of various families. His eyes were awe-inspiring, and there was a killing aura in them.
"Weichen is willing to assist Your Majesty, may the Tang Dynasty be peaceful in the four seas, and the country and the people will be safe!" Li Er's voice fell, whether he was standing in the middle of the hall before, or he was already sitting in the class. At this moment, Qi Qi came to the middle of the main hall, bowed to Li Er, and spoke in unison.
For a time, the mountains in the Taiji Hall were shouting tsunami. Li Er stood above the main hall, accepting the bowing of the ministers, looking majestic, this scene fell in Zhao Chen's eyes, but he was quite speechless.
The family is completely defeated, several veterans are talking about the scars on their bodies, Wei Chigong is even more clear that he can't let his blood flow in vain, if the family is not afraid of death at this time, it is estimated that the old lieutenant will not mind, and he will personally go to the family with a horse lance to greet him.
After a tsunami of worship, the ministers returned to their positions, and even returned to their positions with Zhao Chen, and the crowd gathered in the middle of the hall left, leaving a group of bare-ass veterans behind.
The scene looks a little indecent!
The veterans probably also noticed a large area of gaze around them, even if they were rough and thick on weekdays, it was inevitable that some old faces would be slightly red at this time.
"Don't help your old father-in-law to wear armor, be careful that people are angry and don't let you enter the gate of the Qin Mansion!" Zhao Chen sat there, hesitating whether to step forward or not, and when he helped Lao Qin dress, Lao Li Gang next to him had already turned his head, squinted at Zhao Chen, and opened his mouth gloatingly.
Then he couldn't sit down anymore, Zhao Chen gave a thumbs up to Lao Li Gang, and immediately ran up, picked up the armor on the ground, and helped Lao Qin put it on.
With the appearance of Zhao Chen, the relatives of the rest of the veterans in the main hall also stepped forward to help at this time. All the veterans have relatives to help, but only Wei Chigong is the only one who wears alone there.
Zhao Chen was busy dressing Lao Qin, and when he wanted to go over to help, he saw Li Er in the main hall, walked down in person, picked up the heavy armor on the ground, and handed it to Wei Chigong.
His Majesty personally served and dressed, Wei Chigong immediately turned red, and Cheng Yanjin on the side saw this scene, and his eyes immediately glared fiercely, and the relatives who came forward to help were stunned.
After all the veterans were dressed neatly and returned to their positions, Li Er, who was above the main hall, suddenly looked at Zhao Chen below, groaned slightly, and said: "Give Chang'an Hou, purple gold crown belt!" ”
As soon as Li Er's words came out, an attendant walked out of the side hall with a tray in his hands, and what was placed in the tray was a purple and gold crown, a set of robes representing the marquis and a gold belt representing the grade.
Although Zhao Chen has been made a marquis by Li Er's decree, until now, he has not actually represented the crown of the marquis.
Just like before, Li Er, who was originally in the main hall, suddenly got up and walked down, and under the shocked gaze of the main hall, he personally put the purple gold crown on Zhao Chen's head.
Crown!
His Majesty the Emperor personally crowned the crown, and I am afraid that there is only Zhao Chen alone in such an honor! (To be continued......)
