Chapter 006: Offsetting Merits and Demerits? Erchen thinks it's inappropriate!
Wild Biao, can it be regarded as a big beast?
Just this question caused the entire Xuanshu Hall to fall into a long and strange silence.
Is a wild boar a 'big beast'?
This issue does not need to be discussed at all, even newborn piglets are 'dangerous animals' in the absolute sense!
Because of the appearance of young piglets, it will inevitably attract two adult wild boars weighing hundreds of pounds, seven or eight feet long, and giving birth to a pair of large tusks!
Needless to say, just a little bit is enough to give an incomparably accurate answer to the question raised by Liu Sheng.
- Catching an adult wild boar alone in the ranks or among the nobles is as worthy of boasting of force as hunting and killing jackals, tigers and leopards!
In the people, as long as there is a rumor that 'there is a wild boar infested near a certain village', the local county government will inevitably organize young and strong villagers, and even the county soldiers will collectively dispatch to go up the mountain to strangle!
According to Liu Sheng, when Liu Qi, the son of heaven, went out to play, he actually encountered such a fierce beast, and he was not even a few dozen steps away from the holy car······
"Goshawk Zhidu~"
"This time, I'm afraid I'm going to plant it~"
"Not necessarily."
"After all, Your Majesty's side ······"
Everyone exchanged heads, but Liu Sheng did not intend to stop there.
"Zhi Zhonglang didn't dare to answer, that kid, so he asked a different way."
"What if on that day, Ye Yu did not leave on his own, but pounced on the holy car?"
"What if Ye Yu is not thirty steps away from the Holy Driver, but ten steps, five steps, and even suddenly sprang out on the side of the Holy Driver?!"
"What's more, in the darkness, there is no wild beast at all, but an assassin in full armor, armed with a longbow and a strong crossbow, and ready to shoot arrows!!"
As he spoke, Liu Sheng's tone became more and more excited, and in the end, it directly turned into a roar!
Seeing Liu Sheng's eyes widen, his gaze at Zhidu was surprisingly angry, and his hands were clenched into fists at his sides.
It's just the tone, and it was finally suppressed by Liu Shengqiang, although he was no longer hoarse, but it was also so gloomy that it sent chills down his spine.
"Zhi Zhonglang, do you dare to say that you are not guilty?"
Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out this sentence word by word, and finally saw Liu Sheng turn sideways and kneel down towards Liu Qi, the son of heaven on the royal steps.
"Father!"
"Three days ago, at the age of ten, Erchen burst out outside the palace gate and stabbed him, straight to the eyebrow bone!"
"Although the emperor's grandmother was furious when she heard this, she punished her son with a cane for thirty years, and thought about it for three days, but it also proved that if the father and emperor really encountered an accident that day, Zhonglang would be in the capital and would not be able to protect him at all!"
"Today, the son's thoughts are overdue, and he doesn't dare to delay for a moment, and even disregards the courtesy of the clan and the system of court discussions, and enters the Xuan room in person, so he wants to enshrine his father with this matter;"
"—Erchen wins!"
"Pause!!"
"Death !! a hundred worships"
"I beg Your Majesty, Zhizhonglang will be Zhidu, with great disrespect!!!!!"
His expression was full of determination, and even in a posture of 'loyal ministers and dead admonitions', he said the words of impeachment of Zhidu, and saw Liu Sheng kowtow in a heavy manner, and he was reluctant to get up for a long time.
In the courtier trains on the east and west sides of the Xuanshu Palace, the gaze of the Baiguan Gonghou looking at Liu Sheng became more and more strange.
- Gongzi Sheng broke out and hurt people and smashed Qingzhi's eyebrow bone, as early as the day of the incident, it has been rumored that the entire Chang'an people know about it~
It's just that most of the people who dare to talk about this matter openly are ordinary people on the streets and alleys;
The courtiers and officials were somewhat hindered by the influence, or the 'monstrous' background behind Zhidu, and they didn't dare to talk about this matter.
When I went to the sky, that is, before and after tea, I mentioned it to my close colleagues, or my wife and children at home: Hey, have you heard?
Goshawk Zhidu was smashed by Gongzi Sheng!
But at this moment, when Liu Sheng used 'Zhi can't hide from clenching his fists' as proof that 'Zhi can't afford to escort', everyone gradually came back to their senses.
It's not that Zhi was hit in the eye socket by Liu Sheng, which can really prove anything.
- After all, no matter how you say it, this man has missed, and the horse has stumbled;
In addition, on the same day, Liu Sheng approached with a swagger, and suddenly attacked in a sneak attack, so he was lucky to succeed;
I'm afraid that before the fist falls on his face, Zhi Du can't think of Liu Sheng, a prince, who dares to be rude to the two thousand stones of the current dynasty.
As for Liu Sheng's argument that he forcibly brought the two things together, he couldn't deceive these individuals in the palace at all.
- Who can't see that Liu Sheng beat Zhidu, that is simply to vent his anger?
What really sent chills down everyone's spines was a possibility revealed by Liu Sheng's remarks today······
"Could it be that outside the palace gate that day, when Gongzi stabbed Zhidu with his fist, he already had this plan today?"
Thinking like this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but raise their heads in unison, and looked deeply at the figure of kneeling and kowtowing to Liu Sheng, 'a hundred bows to death'.
I don't know how long it took for everyone to finally shudder and withdraw their gaze from Liu Sheng.
At this moment, almost every courtier and prince had the same feeling in their hearts.
"Going in and out of the palace ······"
"Let's bypass the Guangming Palace·········"
Seeing Liu Sheng kneeling on the ground and reluctant to get up for a long time, although Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was still calm and light on his face, but in his heart, he was already quietly a little annoyed.
But the twenty-three-year-long career of the prince has already allowed this prime-aged son of heaven to improve the skill of 'joy and anger is invisible' to the realm of unity between heaven and man.
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was silent for a long time, he finally slowly got up from the couch and put his hands behind his back.
And under the imperial steps, seeing the Son of Heaven get up from the couch, the courtiers and officials who were kneeling in the banquet also quickly stood up, held the wat board in front of their abdomen with both hands, and bowed down in the direction of the imperial couch.
"Zhonglang General Zhidu, is the direct minister and cadre of the former emperor's legacy;"
"It's the minister of my humerus."
With an understatement, most of the panic on Zhidu's face dissipated, and he saw Liu Qi, the son of heaven, slowly raise his hand and signal the Lang official on the side of the hall to help Liu Sheng up.
"As for the merits and faults of Zhidu, the Queen Mother has already made a decision;"
"—Meritorious, rewarded."
"And Gongzi Sheng, concerned about the safety of the holy driver, pure and filial, I am very relieved."
"But the Queen Mother has been rewarded in Zhidu for her meritorious deeds, and if I punish it again, it will be my unfilial piety."
"Hmmm······"
Speaking of this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, seemed to be entangled, and pondered for a while.
In his eyes, Zhidu turned from danger to safety, but there was no repentance at all, and Liu Qi's attention that had been fixed quietly underwent some subtle changes······
"Zhonglang will be in the capital, the escort is unfavorable, and he is derelict in his duties;"
"However, when I wanted to put myself in danger, he fought to the death, and he contributed to the community;"
"Therefore, the merits and demerits are offset, and the past is not to blame, and he is allowed to stay in office to see the after-effects."
Throwing down a word in a tough voice, the Son of Heaven turned to the side and made a gesture to retreat and leave.
But under the imperial steps, when Liu Sheng's expected voice of 'Erchen thinks it is inappropriate', the corners of the mouth of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finally quietly curled up with a playful arc······
