Chapter 267: Testimony (Part II)
At this time, the lord Li Tianzhao's angry roar at King Liang was all unexpected by all the officials above the court.
They couldn't believe that their eyes and ears were the same, and the tough attitude and resentment shown by the lord Li Tianzhao at this time, compared with the previous melancholy and indecisiveness, were simply terrifying, refreshing, and even more majestic than ever before. Even the self-righteous King Liang was stunned by the evil consequences of no one in his eyes at this time, and he was stunned for a while, at a loss.
But after all, King Liang is the King of Liang who has experienced danger and cunning, and after hesitating and being frightened for a moment, he used his rather complacent trick again, and said sarcastically to Li Tianzhao, who was sitting high in the hall. "Ha, ha, lord of the country, you are still so tolerant of a thief who endangers the court, can't I, a prince who has meritorious service to the court and has devoted all his energy to supporting you, be liable for my rudeness and arrogance?"
As soon as King Liang said this, his arrogant and rude contempt was suddenly shocked that the civil and military officials who had not yet come to their senses were hit in the face again. However, these civil and military officials in the court would never have thought that King Liang's arrogance and contempt for the lord of the country Li Tianzhao would be so blatant and natural.
But who would dare to believe that a courtier who dared to provoke and be arrogant was lawless in front of everyone. The most hateful thing is that for such a courtier, the lord Li Tianzhao was just so angry that his face turned pale, his eyes were angry and he looked sideways angrily, and his right hand pointing at King Liang had already shook off weakly.
Looking at this result with cold eyes, King Liang looked at the courtiers and smiled again, and then said slowly. "Lord, is what the minister just said right? Your Majesty is not more than above the authority of the lord, is he? If the lord of the country does not answer his subordinates' questions again, then I will assume that the lord of the country has no intention of blaming his subordinates. Which subordinate should ask the lord of the country to discuss the matter according to the law, Qiancheng don't dare to speak in order to tolerate the topic and attitude of his subordinates. ”
Seeing King Liang's aggressive, domineering and obedient appearance, Li Tianzhao, who was sitting on top of the high hall, was once again so angry that he was speechless and helpless. Although Li Tianzhao moved his lips several times, wanting to say and vomit, he finally stopped talking, and for some reason he didn't even bother to put a stinky fart.
At this moment, the civil and military officials above the court were suddenly stunned by the strange expressions and mutual intimidation performances of Li Tianzhao and King Liang. No one can guess what the two of them are doing with such wonderful performances, but one thing is certain, King Liang always wants to put his authority and words above the lord Li Tianzhao. For such a situation and relationship, the civil and military officials above the court have long been obvious to all and have no words to dare to be angry.
When the two of them were playing Yu Lie's difficult tiger riding, Li Qiusheng, who was tied up in the hall, suddenly laughed at King Liang in a frenzy. "Ha, ha, King Liang, look at your current arrogant bear appearance, there is a bit of a model of a courtier. Not to mention that the civil and military officials above the court are disrespectful to you in their hearts, even a prisoner of the court like me turns a blind eye to you. ”
"If you want people to respect you, you must first respect them. The greatest thing in the world is the relationship between monarchs and ministers, and the blood relationship between parents and parents. Above the imperial power, the monarch is the greatest, and the so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. But King Liang, from the first time I came into contact with you to the present, I have never seen you faithfully serve the monarch. On the contrary, you are rebellious to the way of the monarch and ministers, and you are contemptuous and arrogant under the imperial power! ”
"King Liang, is this how you treat the monarch as a courtier? Don't dare to talk about you, the people who are afraid of the power in your hands. And I, Li Qiusheng, dare to say you, it is because I, as a person who is regarded by you as a prisoner of the imperial court, knows how to respect and be a courtier. It's just a treacherous villain who is arrogant and jealous of power. ”
Including Li Tianzhao, it is unimaginable that the civil and military officials in the court can hardly imagine that Li Qiusheng at this moment actually dared to hold back his anger and bravely and bluntly accused the invincible and arrogant King Liang in the court. When Li Qiusheng's sharp words slowly fell from the hall, all the civil and military officials stared at him brightly, and the surprise and the worried that beat violently at this time were not dumb to the anger at King Liang just now.
Li Tianzhao, who was above the high hall, saw Li Qiusheng under the court, and he actually said his name in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. His heart was also first shocked, and then stunned, and he was afraid that King Liang was going to use the topic to play again. Suddenly, he heard Li Qiusheng confronting the heart of King Liang's only courtiers for himself and the civil and military forces, and he was shocked at the moment.
Just as he was about to stand up and say a few words for Li Qiusheng, he heard a sudden noise of eunuchs outside the court. "The queen mother has arrived, and hundreds of officials have taken over!"
Before the eunuch's voice subsided, the Queen Mother and her people had already walked into the court hall in high spirits, followed by Leng Yue and the other three personal maids. Seeing this, the civil and military officials immediately knelt down in unison and greeted them with a salute. "Ministers greet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is auspicious, Chitose, Chitose!"
The Queen Mother seemed to have turned a blind eye, and a group of civil and military officials bowed down to greet her. She just snorted coldly, "No courtesy, flat body!" After that, he walked directly to the place at the foot of the jade steps and the side where Li Qiusheng was bent and standing. After a moment of silence, the courtiers heard the Queen Mother's loud words of praise. "Haha, sure enough, it's a hero from ancient times, Li Qiusheng, it seems that the declining family really didn't misunderstand you! Above the court, the person who dares to speak righteous and evil, and criticizes the heart of King Liang's two sons, I am afraid that you are the only one. ”
This really makes the declining family happy and proud, there are still people in the world who know that they are not able to do their best, but they are still not afraid of the imperial power and will not die in the future, but also to help the world's monarchs and ministers, justice in the world. Such a loyal and righteous martyr, a young man who is not stubborn, and the declining family dares to ask all the civil and military people here, do you dare to say that he is a criminal and an enemy of the imperial court? Is it the wicked who regard my imperial power as a tiger and a wolf? ”
"Even if any of you dare to say yes, just turn to Li Qiusheng's retort of King Liang just now, the declining family will not believe it. Because chastity is difficult to see in death, great ambition is to see character. And what did you just do? Eating the king's lu, leading the court to use, but when the crisis is over, I don't see any of you coming out, and the gentleman is righteous and reprimands the villain. ”
"The declining family knows that you civil and military officials are afraid of King Liang, but the declining family tells you: King Liang is only a 'king' after all, and the 'king' is the lord of the world. Don't be afraid of the king and forget the king, the declining family will not give you more opportunities. ”
When the Queen Mother said that she was emotionally excited, she couldn't help but glance at King Liang, who was still kneeling under the hall, and then stared at Li Tianzhao who was standing on top of the high hall, and said coldly. "Emperor, you also have to learn from Li Qiusheng's backbone, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that you will lose face in front of your courtiers. The Chinese Wu of the dynasty only knows that there is a king of Liang but does not know that there is a national lord, how will you rule the world and govern the society in the future! Could it be that the ancestors' deeds are about to be defeated in your hands? Decay does not allow, and must not allow you to embark on this road of no return. I won't be able to see the first immortals in the future. ”
Li Tianzhao was preached by the Empress Dowager Liang in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and after such a tearful preaching, his face was already pale and uncertain, and there seemed to be bursts of sweat on his forehead. Li Tianzhao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead in fear, and said in a trembling voice. The queen mother's lesson is that the child takes it to heart. The child is tired and tired of helping his mother, but it is really terrifying, and the child should be condemned and blamed. ”
Li Tianzhao wanted to continue in fear, but the Empress Dowager Liang said coldly. "Emperor, now is not the time for you to blame yourself, but the time for you to deal with the matter in front of you, if you continue like this, Li Qiusheng will be gone."
When the Empress Dowager Liang said this, Li Tianzhao was dumbfounded again, and when he was about to say how to deal with this matter, he heard King Liang stand up and laugh coldly under the lobby. "The queen mother reprimanded her subordinates like this, isn't she scolding her subordinates for having the heart of a courtier? If your subordinates take on the burden like this, won't they be difficult to argue with and let others slander them? Queen Mother, are your subordinates not convinced? ”
I didn't know that the Queen Mother Liang didn't look at King Liang, so she said coldly. "I see, there is really nothing in this world that King Liang does not dare to do? What you said and pretentious in the lobby just now, but what you should do as a courtier? Take any of them, and the decrepit family will cure you of the sin of disrespect. ”
King Liang was shocked, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother Liang to call himself now. King Liang's face changed, and he immediately pretended to be wronged and stubborn. "Your Majesty is planning for the stability of the country's society, and just now it was a last resort. Could it be that the Queen Mother also thinks that her subordinates have the heart of a courtier? If it was according to what the Queen Mother said, the courtiers should have been slow to rebel a long time ago, why would they still bend their knees in front of the lord and the Queen Mother today, instead of setting up another country and a society! ”
"Oh, in this way, King Liang is still a loyal minister, why are you still struggling to dismantle Li Qiusheng alone?" The Empress Dowager Liang didn't answer for a while, but stared at Li Qiusheng, who was full of scars in front of him, and asked heavily.
"Queen Mother, Li Qiusheng is the remnant of 'Anle Village', a traitor who troubles the court. On the same day, General Li Liangguang inquired about personal fraud and was unable to hold prison for the time being, causing the criminals to go unpunished and lack discipline. His Majesty has a loyal heart that is responsible for the court and the foundation of his ancestors, and he works tirelessly, chasing the murderer for thousands of miles, and capturing thieves for thousands of miles. But why does the Queen Mother still treat her subordinates like this? Regard your subordinates as traitors and despise the lords of the country? What is the fault of the subordinates, and the queen mother is treated like this? ”
King Liang said in a stiff and palladium tone for a while, just like insisting that Li Qiusheng was the culprit for destroying the imperial court and the ancestral foundation, he could no longer transform from his heart and eyes into a positive and motivated person.
However, the Empress Dowager Liang did not directly reply to King Liang's performance of loyalty, he still coldly put on a supreme posture and said. "King Liang, you say that Li Qiusheng is the remnant of 'Anle Village' and the chaos of the imperial court. That family asks you, is what Li Qiusheng did really so? Is his real identity really a fatherless and motherless grandson on the street? What if the declining family says that Li Qiusheng is the shadow and descendant of another person? Do you still think he was a death row prisoner of the imperial court? ”
What King Liang didn't expect was that the Liang family after the tomb, after he was worried about capturing Li Qiusheng, the Queen Mother Liang actually dared to ask herself in front of so many civil and military officials, Li Qiusheng's mother is not a scourge of the court, let alone a little deflated person living on the street. On the contrary, he warned himself and others that Li Qiusheng was the shadow and descendant of someone's existence? Isn't this a joke that risks the big questions of the world and does not violate them, and catches people's lengths and shorts? How could he, a king of Liang who had always thought that he was the leader of the world and let him dance, believe this fact?
He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly laughed again and muttered to himself. "It's impossible, it's impossible. Queen Mother, you can't be seduced by the remnants of a bandit, right? You actually stood up for him like this, and even did not hesitate to fight with the civil and military forces above the entire court for the sake of this kid. Queen Mother, what kind of heart are you Ann? It's so vicious. ”
Li Tianzhao stood on top of the high hall, and suddenly heard King Liang reprimanding the Queen Mother Liang so nonsensically, and immediately shouted with a rage in his heart that had nowhere to vent, "Shut up, King Liang, before the matter is clear, you have insulted the Queen Mother so much." Li Qiusheng's matter is very wide-ranging, and I have heard about it a little, but it is difficult for me to explain it clearly to you all for a while. You should calm down first, listen to what the testimony and evidence from all sides say, and then make the next decision, why do you have to make everyone look old-fashioned. Before the matter was settled, you started arguing first. ”
Hearing Li Tianzhao say this in the high hall, King Liang seemed to have collected a little bit of the grandeur just now. "Coax, since the lord of the country has spoken like this, then it is impossible for my King Liang to hold on to you like this. Forget it, I, King Liang, take a step back, and you also take a step, just talk about who this Li Qiusheng is similar to? Whose descendants are they? To put it bluntly, let's settle this matter. Save the stomach, and it is an untiring knot for the big emptiness. ”
As soon as King Liang said this in public, the Queen Mother Liang immediately smiled bitterly. "Since King Liang has to force the declining family to say it, then the declining family will tell you. Li Qiusheng is the living shadow of the former 'King of Heyang', and he is the descendant of the blood of the 'King of Heyang'! My good grandson, yours is a good grandson! ”
King Liang screamed, and immediately stunned again, looking confused, stunned for a moment, and squeaked for a long time, unable to say a word.
