Chapter XVII
Li Kuan's punch directly shocked the government and the opposition, and no one expected that someone would beat a minister here. And it's in front of the emperor, it's too bold!
There was a big fist mark on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, and on his fat face, a large circle around his nose was red and swollen. Nosebleeds squirted like cheap tap water.
"Hurry up and stop the bleeding for the eldest grandson!" Fang Xuanling hurriedly stepped forward to support the eldest grandson Wuji's obese body, but how could he support the eldest grandson Wuji like a pig? The old face was red, but the eldest grandson Wuji was still lying on the ground. He didn't mean to move at all, and he only hummed unconsciously. Obviously stunned, the current eldest grandson Wuji's eyes are full of gold, and the whole world is occupied by endless Venus.
"Hurry up and stop the bleeding for the eldest grandson Aiqing, Li Kuan, you stop!" Li Er reacted, hurriedly instructed the attendants around him, and then stopped Li Kuan, who had already walked out. He was also shocked by Li Kuan's bold behavior, this guy actually dared to beat an important minister of a country in public, and mercilessly knocked the important ministers of the court who were ranked in Zaifu to the ground, but he still had his father in his eyes? And the law of the Tang Dynasty? The arrogance is too arrogant, if you let it go like this, you will not have to turn the world upside down in the future. Come to think of it. Li Er's cold eyes flashed with anger again.
"Father!" Li Kuan stopped and turned around again. He had already been prepared, and he would definitely punish him for beating the eldest grandson Wuji Li Er, but he had no regrets, and there was endless anger in his heart that needed to be vented, and it happened that the eldest grandson Wuji himself was sent to the door. How can you not seize the opportunity?
In fact, this is also the eldest grandson Wuji's own cheapness, and when he saw Li Kuan being deflated again, he couldn't stop jumping out. wanted to step on him, but who knew that this young master exploded all of a sudden, he became the scapegoat of Li Er and Li Lizhen, and was knocked to the ground with a punch, at this time he was still dizzy, and he didn't even know that Fang Xuanling came to help him. My whole head was buzzing, and my vision was blurry. Tears also flowed. This is a natural reaction after being hit in the nose, but it is not the case in the eyes of the ministers.
"The eldest grandson Wuji was beaten and cried by His Royal Highness the King of Chu! Look at the tears on the face of the eldest grandson! Xiao Yu on the side pointed to the fat face of the eldest grandson Wuji. He said loudly, as if he had discovered something terrible. Xiao Yu is actually helping Li Kuan by doing this now, because Empress Xiao is his sister. Li Kuan broke into the grassland this time. welcomed back Queen Xiao, who was taken to the grassland by Princess Yicheng, which was a great kindness to him. So he has always been strict, and he also gaged at this time to help Li Kuan relieve Li Er's anger.
When Li Er heard Xiao Yu's words, he was stunned at first, and then laughed dumbly. The anger in his heart dissipated a lot now, who would have thought that he was shot through the arm by an arrow on the battlefield, but he still did not change his face and insisted on commanding the army to fight. said that Wuji, the eldest grandson of a generation of Confucian generals, would be beaten by a thirteen-year-old child and cried bitterly? It's just that although he doesn't believe it intellectually, the tears on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji are ironclad facts. He can't help but quibble.
"Lord Eldest Sun, Lord Lord Eldest Sun!" Wei Zheng stepped forward, patted the cheek of the eldest grandson Wuji, and called his name.
The eldest grandson Wuji slowly eased up at this time, his eyes refocused, and he saw Wei Heizi squatting in front of him: "Lord Wei! He called out this sound softly, and felt that there was a salty smell of iron in his mouth, which was the smell of blood, and he was not unfamiliar with this fishy smell at all, and the nosebleed flowed backwards into his mouth.
"The eldest grandson is awake!" Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling helped the eldest grandson Wuji up, took out a silk silk made of silk from the copper basin brought by the waiter on the side, wiped the blood on his face, and then tidied up the messy clothes on his body.
"Your Majesty, be the master of the old minister!" After the eldest grandson Wuji tidied up his appearance, he knelt directly in front of the throne and faced Li Er is old tears: "The old minister followed His Majesty, fought in the south and the north, and had no merit and hard work, but today he was so humiliated by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what face does the old minister have to fight in this court again!" I implore Your Majesty to be the master of the old minister, and let the old minister return to his hometown! This family is not married, the old minister is afraid that the child will be beaten to death by the king of Chu in the future, and even the old minister, His Royal Highness the old bone King of Chu, can do it, let alone the dog! The eldest grandson Wuji snorted and tears in his eyes, regardless of the slightest dignity and face, and completely let go.
When Li Kuan knocked him to the ground, there was no room for return between him and the prince, so no matter what face, even if he couldn't directly knock the prince down, he had to win the emperor's support, as long as he stood behind the emperor's majesty, then the little king of Chu couldn't put his eldest grandson's family to death, and the days would be long, take your time! First, what is the point of losing face?
He doesn't ask Li Er to marry Li Li to their family now, as long as Li Kuan, the prince, is punished by Li Er for his contribution to this trip to the grassland, as long as Li Kuan is not rewarded this time, then in the next time, he will have the opportunity to calmly arrange, completely stabilize the position of his nephew Li Chengqian's crown prince, and use Li Chengqian to suppress Li Kuan, a potential enemy. If Li Kuan is rewarded this time, then the biggest possibility is to go out of the capital in advance, and go to his fiefdom to be a soil emperor. In that case, he really won't have much chance of avenging this arrow.
It's not that Eldest Sun Wuji didn't think about assassinating Li Kuan, but his reason told him that it wouldn't work, which was tantamount to completely pushing himself to the opposite side of the royal family, and at that time, even his sister Empress Eldest Sun would be hostile to him. The people of the royal family, cannibalism, but must not die in the hands of others, once this precedent is opened, then those with different intentions will definitely follow suit, so the dynasties and dynasties have always protected the royal family members very carefully, and the punishment of the murderers of the royal family members is unprecedentedly cruel.
The eldest grandson Wuji did not dare to risk the world's greatness to violate the bottom line of the royal family. So what he was thinking about was how to suppress Li Kuan until Li Chengqian ascended the throne, and then it was the real time to make a move. The eldest grandson Wuji has that self-confidence, as long as there is no Li Er, then Li Chengqian will definitely listen to him.
Putting these aside for the time being, now, the eldest grandson Wuji is crying, which makes Li Er's mind upset. Because of the marriage between the two families, his children just cried, and now it has reached this point, which really makes him feel uncontrollable. It seemed that there was no way for the court meeting to continue, so Li Er announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and there was an urgent piece to leave the concerto.
The ministers walked out of the Lizheng Hall in twos and threes, and they were all talking about it, all of them expressing their elaboration of what happened today, and only a few people walked at the end, with worried faces on their faces. Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling fell last, and the three walked side by side.
"Master Fang, how do you think this matter will end?" Xiao Yu asked with some concern, he is a stubborn person with his own standards of life, Li Kuan rescued his hard-working sister from the grassland, so deep in his heart he stood on the side of leaving, and what kind of virtue is Changsun Chong, he also knows it after living in the capital for a long time, he has no say in this marriage, otherwise he will definitely oppose it.
"What else? The most difficult thing is His Majesty, on one side is the uncle of the country, and on the other side is His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Princess Changle. How do you choose this? Fang Xuanling said that he didn't know what the outcome would be.
"Yes! Uncle Changsun Guo has worked hard for so many years, and only Yiguo Gong can compare with him, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Royal Highness Princess Changle are His Majesty's favorite children after all, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu has made great contributions to the Turkic war this time, which is really not a good choice! Wei Zheng also agreed.
"What does Your Majesty think, it's not for us to speculate as courtiers, we'll know tomorrow!" Fang Xuanling ended the conversation, after all, the topic was too sensitive, and they didn't want to say much.
At this point, Fang Xuanling and others, as a small poke of Datang standing at the top of the pyramid, are not as free as those petty officials and officials. The little people just said it, it was just a conversation after dinner, and as soon as they said it, they were listened to by others, which represented standing in line. Now Li Er is in the prime of life, and at this time, the princes are still young, and it is still too early to stand in line or something. And they are all older than Li Er, and their bodies are not as healthy as Li Er, whether they can live until Li Er abdicates, and the new emperor's accession to the throne is still unknown, so it's better not to spread these rumors.
"Li Kuan, kneel!" In the Lizheng Palace, Li Er let Li Lizhen in, the highest power hall of the Tang Dynasty, Li Lizhen entered for the second time, the first time was when Li Er ascended the throne. After waiting for Li Lizhen to come in, the door of the main hall was closed directly, and there were only Li Er, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Lizhen and Li Kuan.
With Li Er's loud shout, Li Kuan knelt down obediently, kneeling on both knees, this was the first time he knelt on both knees after arriving in this era except for sacrificial activities such as sacrificing to the sky. Li Tang Jiangshan did not pay attention to kneeling and kowtowing, and the ministers only needed to bend down to meet the emperor, and in the army, most of the generals knelt on one knee and saluted. Therefore, only in activities such as sacrificing to the heavens will they kneel down on their knees.
"Do you know what's wrong?" Li Er sat on the high dragon chair, looked down at Li Kuan who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who was red and swollen on one side, and asked coldly.
"The father and the emperor have their own distinction between right and wrong, and the child consciously does the right thing!" Li Kuan didn't defend anything else, and bluntly said that he thought he was doing the right thing, which made the eldest grandson Wuji on the side itch. On the other side, Li Lizhi was full of worry on her pretty face, Jin Bu shook it between her ten fingers, and her small body trembled slightly. (To be continued......)
