Chapter 65: The Court Argues
"Your Majesty, slow down, the grass people have a sentence that I don't know if to say or not!!"
"Talk !!"
Just as Xue Mo was worrying about how everyone would perform for the empress in the future, Li Bai, who was beside An Ziye, stood up uncontrollably, and interrupted the empress's interest with a slightly angry tone.
The empress was also full of displeasure when her interest in being suddenly interrupted by someone who had finally brought it up, just because in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the empress was not very easy to show.
"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has proclaimed benevolence and righteousness to govern the country, recruited talents, and opened up the way of speech, which has been done by the ancient Ming monarch, so I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to follow the example of the sages and accept the request of the ministers to have a court argument?"
Li Bai's words fell, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, although the court theory has been since ancient times, but the essence of this court theory is to let the empress unconditionally listen to and accept the criticism and questioning of all parties, which is not very glorious all the way to the throne of the empress, it is simply a great insult, after all, in addition to letting the empress accept criticism and accusations, there must be a historian next to it, Li Bai's request, this is not equivalent to letting the empress herself make all her mistakes public and admit her mistakes? Moreover, the empress first ascended to the throne, the situation in the world was not stable, all forces were ready to move, rumors were spreading all over the world, and the Hu people on the border were picking quarrels and provoking troubles.
"Bold fanatic, are you preparing to push my Datang into a situation from which it will never recover? Your Majesty ignores your abduction of the goddess, do you really think that Your Majesty doesn't know anything? Now that you are now in the Jinluan Hall of Daming Palace, it is already the greatest gift to you, but you don't know how to cherish it, and you actually pouted in this sacred place, and you will send my Tang Dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty, to all over the world? Will His Majesty be everywhere? If you do this, aren't you afraid of the Nine Clans? β
"Arrogant !!"
"It's !!"
"I was not satisfied with the war of abducting the goddess to the border of my country, and now I have come to this Jinluan Palace to make a big fuss, it is really arrogant!!"
"Lord Zhang, my lords! I, Li Baiben, a ronin, have wandered the world all my life, and how can I come from the nine tribes, I and the goddess have been friends for life since they were young and concubines, and they have already promised each other for life, and how can they say that the border is unstable at the beginning of the world, and I have the vast millions of lions in the Tang Dynasty to sweep away the barbarians, is it that the Manchu Dynasty military generals and soldiers under them are all wine bags and rice bags, only to know that they must slap horses and confuse the saints? Everyone, think about the past Huo Quai's 100 iron horsemen went deep into the desert to kill 700 enemies, killing the Hu people in fear, and seeing that you spend all day drinking and wandering in fireworks and willow alleys, you only know that Lang Qing and concubines don't want to protect their families and defend the country, don't you feel ashamed? You eat the king's fortune but don't share the king's worries, can you live up to your conscience? Haoyue is just a woman, powerless, but you forced her to be called a goddess, and threw her alone in the cold and snowy place of the barren desert, won't you have the slightest heartache? Could it be that my Tang Dynasty's soldiers and generals are not as good as a woman? Besides, the court's reasoning has existed since ancient times, what is my Li Bai's crime? Yes! In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sympathetic to his subjects, personally opened the court to reason, and personally assigned his own books to spread the world, and now I, Li Bai, am just imitating the sages, what's wrong, ah!! β
"Arrogant !!"
"Arrogant !!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister Zhang Zhizhi is here to fight for proverbs, hoping that Your Majesty will give permission, and the bold fanatics who abducted the goddess and caused the war on our border to be raging in the sky, and the filthy words immediately pulled out of the martial arts gate and beheaded the public, so as to extinguish the anger of the world!!"
Li Bai's words were like a bombshell that was suddenly detonated, instantly tearing apart the hypocritical faΓ§ade of the ministers in the entire Jinluan Hall of Daming Palace, and at the same time, it also pryed the cheese that everyone had been holding for a long time, causing the public indignation of the ministers.
And at this moment, the most uncomfortable ones are Di Renjie and Zhong Kui, the two of them are already soft-spoken, and they kindly introduced Xue Mo and others in order to gain more trust from the empress, but as soon as Li Bai's words came out, let alone trust, it is estimated that the next thing will be to kill and behead all over the house.
And at this moment, Xue Mo and An Ziye were also on guard throughout the whole process, and subconsciously called Da Qiaodaji Angela and others to their side to prevent unforeseen things from happening.
"Master Zhang, it's too much, Zhong Aiqing, why are you so angry? Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, besides, my plum blossom guards are all over the world, and I know every move of the secretaries well, how can I be bewitched by a few words! However, this Li Bai is indeed right, the court theory is done by the ancient sages, I Wu Meiniang should follow the sages and listen to the opinions and suggestions of the people of the world, so as to push my new dynasty to the peak, this process is naturally inseparable from the help of all the adults and the world's capable sages, although I am a woman, but in my eyes, everyone is a human being, and women are also human beings, why only men can be in power? I just want the world to see, and I can also create a prosperous era like Wenjing Zhizhi through my own efforts. Di Qing, you have made a meritorious introduction, I will reward you heavily, and today I am also lacking, this court argument is over, by the way, that Su Xuemo girl, didn't you say that your friend's specialty is fighting? It's rare for me to have Yaxing, so I'll ask Miss Xuemo to arrange five friends, and I'll also send five people here to have a duel that ends at 5vs5 o'clock, Wan'er, you go and arrange it!! β
From the empress's words, Xue Mo naturally knew that the empress's request was no longer able to refuse, after all, the empress had arranged for someone to prepare.
"Your Majesty, the little girl is better to be respectful, and the little girl's friends will only offend the adults later!"
"Okay, retreat!! Half an hour later, the ministers gathered in the martial arts arena in the western suburbs, and if anyone dared to be late or not come, they should consciously take off their top black yarn! β
In the face of such an empress, Xue Mo was really a little stunned, after all, in her impression, Wu Zetian was not only the only female emperor in China, but the rest was krypton gold in the game and the murder of the son and father in history to make the queen a man.
And the empress at this moment, the impression she gave herself was exactly the opposite of the description in history, what was in front of Xue Mo at this moment was a calm and resolute strong woman who was decisive and scheming.
