The walls of Chang'an City are still so high, towering like the ancient sacred mountain, and the orange light sprinkled by the rising morning sun gives the whole city a glow, and there is a long-lost coolness in the early morning of this midsummer. The sunlight sprinkled in the palace city in the early morning, like a golden sword, piercing the fog, the highest power center of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er's Lizheng Hall to deal with political affairs, was exposed to the sun. The courtiers were lined up on both sides, with golden steps, golden dragon chairs, and a robe woven with gold thread, and a dragon roaring for nine days was lifelike. Wear a crown of mountains and rivers and step on auspicious cloud boots. The three long beards in front of Li Er's body showed infinite majesty. A pair of narrow eyes shimmered with a divine light that penetrated all things in the world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I received a report today, Cangzhou, Hebei Province was hit by a powerful typhoon, which swept thousands of miles of people and suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. Li Erduan sat on the throne and looked around at these officials in red and purple, a pair of tiger eyes seemed to see through all their thoughts. What made these ministers all tremble, at this moment, they actually made the top of this hall silent.

"Your Majesty, this matter Weichen thinks that Li Kuan, the assassin of Cangzhou, is not wrong, my Tang Dynasty has set to establish the country with benevolence and filial piety from the beginning of the founding of the country, so the history of Cangzhou assassination is completely in line with the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, the people are affected, and the government will definitely help This is a matter of course, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will definitely make the people of Cangzhou feel the care of the Tang Dynasty court for them, and will support the rule of the court more sincerely!" An official in a scarlet robe stepped out of the line at the back of the courtiers and uttered these words.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't dare to agree! The state has its own laws. There are rules in the family, no matter how extenuating the circumstances. But all are equal before the law, and for such reasons they can put their actions above the law of the land. Then the country will not be a country! As soon as the precedent is set, the latecomers can peacefully kidnap their actions on the suffering of the people and damage the interests of the imperial court! Therefore, Lao Chen thought that although the starting point of this matter was out of good intentions, the method was not advisable, and he must be severely punished, so that future generations can have a bloody lesson, so that Datang can completely get rid of this bad atmosphere of kidnapping public opinion. So that the officials in the future will be vigilant and will not make such a mistake again! "It was the eldest grandson Wuji who stood up, this old fox, who began to make trouble at this time. Recently, his eldest grandson's family has been in an eventful time, whether it is in the court or in private, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at their family, and he has to find a focus point to divert everyone's attention so that he can make some moves.

"Your Majesty, not at this time! The king of Chu served as the assassin of Cangzhou for only half a year. In the past six months, the Cangzhou area has not seen the same harsh environment where bandits are everywhere before, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even they sent countless ingredients from the sea to the Guanzhong region, and even the snow-white sea salt, which were all feats made by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. With such an ability, the old ministers are ashamed of themselves. And this time, the starting point of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is to provide relief to the people in the nearest and timely manner. So it doesn't seem unforgivable to do so in a hurry. If there is punishment for doing so, then who will do these things for the people in the future? Hearts for the people. For the sake of thousands of lives, countless people have been saved, and they still have to be punished, so who will do this in the future? Once such a thing happens, it will chill the hearts of countless officials who are dedicated to serving the people! Another old minister walked out of the court and loudly defended Li Kuan, his gray beard fluttered slightly on his chest, and the sparse hair on his head was also combed neatly, and the whole person looked extremely serious. This is also a famous minister under Li Shuang - Fang Xuanling.

This time was one of the countless arguments between the two old courtiers, and they often had such a scene since they first assisted Li Er. Li Er didn't ask, and even enjoyed it, because although they quarreled fiercely, they were all for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, such a courtier, as a king, who would be harsh? And the solution that comes out of brainstorming will be more reasonable, just like now, one is to maintain the majesty of the law, the other is to maintain the stability of people's hearts, what Li Er has to do is to find a balance point from it, and then make a judgment.

It's just that this time, Li Er didn't look for any balance, because now Li Er only thought about that sentence in his heart, the sentence in the letter that was sent to him along with Li Kuan's recital: The king of Chu built dozens of warships, and it seems that he has plans to go to sea.

Such a sentence made Li Er muttered in his heart, he had always had a scruple in his heart from the beginning, with Li Kuan's expression over the years, this kind of faint jealousy has made him feel depressed in his heart, and now he knows that Li Kuan is preparing to go to sea, combined with the speculation and inference over the years, he feels very irritable. Because he felt that Li Kuan was going to sea because he was going to his mysterious master, even if he was his own son, but when it came to these big turmoil and big interests, Li Er still didn't dare to fully believe the sixteen-year-old boy. So now he unconsciously felt that he was on the side of the eldest grandson Wuji, because only in this way could he slow down Li Kuan's footsteps, and even block his contact with the mysterious scientist. Give yourself some more time to prepare, in order to be sure, otherwise his heart will always be unsteady.

"Li Kuan, the assassin of Cangzhou, privately released the official warehouse, although he was worried about the people, but it was also intolerable by the national law, and he went to Cangzhou to spread his will: Li Kuan, the king of Chu, was demoted to Cangzhou, and he was not allowed to leave his post without his will! Violators will be severely punished! Li Er said coldly, and took off Li Kuan's position as a thorn in history, so that he was no longer the overlord of that place, and in sending a strong thorn who he didn't deal with much in the past, he pressed on his head, neither too much exclusion, nor deliberate flattery, so that Li Kuan could be trapped in Cangzhou, Li Er's understanding of Li Kuan was still very deep, at least he knew that as long as the two female dependents around Li Kuan were retained, then Li Kuan would not be able to escape, because his character would determine such a result.

"Your Majesty, no, in this way, who in the world dares to seek the well-being of the people? If this continues, in addition to the noble class becoming more and more powerful, the people will become more and more disappointed in the court! Fang Xuanling was already speechless at this time, his proposition was based on the people, which had always won the support of Li Er, but this time there was no abnormal result, the saint clearly supported the eldest grandson Wuji, which greatly surprised Fang Xuanling, in his opinion, at least it was a matter of fifty boards each, but it became that one side only played twenty, and the other side played eighty.

"Fang Aiqing, this matter has been decided, don't say it again!" Li Er once again rejected Fang Xuanling's statement, now it is not a debate about who the people are and the king is the boat, but how to drag Li Kuan's kid from going to sea so quickly, and have substantial contact with the mysterious scientist.

"Minister, retire!" Fang Xuanling retreated to the ranks of the courtiers amid Li Er's meaningful eyes and the smile on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then kept silent. Li Er and eldest grandson Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the court meeting, the eldest grandson Wuji was left behind by Li Er: "Auxiliary, do you know why I support you like this this time?" Li Er also knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was wondering at this time, so he asked first.

"I don't know!" The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and replied, he really didn't know, he wanted to take this opportunity to attract everyone's attention from the eldest grandson's house, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, this time not only did the established goal of diverting attention be achieved, but he also unexpectedly gained a good news, that is, Li Kuan's kid is going to suffer! Thinking of the fact that over the years, it has either been a mistake or a deliberate thing for a long time, this His Royal Highness the King of Chu has made the eldest grandson's family suffer a lot of losses, and this time he finally sulked.

"My son, now wants to form a cocoon and turn into a butterfly!" Li Er said with a solemn face. This sentence made the eldest grandson Wuji feel nervous, because he hadn't seen Li Er speak so cautiously for a long time, over the years, with the prosperity of the Tang Empire, Li Er's momentum was rising, and now they would feel a burst of oppression when they stood in front of Li Er, this is an invisible suppression, which is invisible and intangible, but it is so magical, as long as he stands close to him, he will unconsciously tremble in his heart, and even if his concentration is a little worse, he will tremble in both strands, and cold sweat will break out. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer cases of Li Er's solemn face appearing, the most recent one seems to be in the fourth year of Zhenguan, when the northern attack on the Turks, there was no news from the army for a long time, which made Li Er frown once, and then even if it was a difficult environment, this monarch would not change his face and break through, and it would definitely not be as heavy as this.

"What?" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was also shocked, this is not a joke, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, is ready to form a cocoon and turn into a butterfly? This is an earth-shattering event, and the eldest grandson Wuji nervously exchanged shares around him, as if he was guarding against something: "Saint, is the source accurate?" Li Kuan, the king of Chu, actually dared to do this, this is a big rebellious thing? It is impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji not to change his face drastically, because who would have thought that Li Kuan, the king of Chu who was far away in Cangzhou, would do such a thing, this is a matter of being copied all over the house: "Your Majesty, the king of Chu is really going to make trouble?" ”

"Auxiliary, what do you want? What's going on? "Li Er was a little confused by the sudden appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, didn't he understand what he meant?" That kid is ready to go to sea, if he is allowed to leave directly like this, I dare to assert that when he sets foot in the Tang Dynasty again, he will definitely be a powerful party with a strong force! Li Er said categorically. (To be continued......)
