Chapter 8: Inch by Inch

I originally thought that the ministers would be filled with righteous indignation, but I didn't expect them to be silent one by one.

Liu Chongwang, the left attendant of Shangshu, stood up and spoke: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the lord has humiliated the ministers to death, and the old ministers are not talented, and I am willing to go to the Western Thief Army to directly reprimand the thief chief Li Maozhen in person!" ”

Looking at his gray hair, Li Ye was slightly moved, finally someone was willing to die for the dignity of Datang.

However, Li Ye was not ready to do this, because if Li Maozhen understood etiquette, righteousness and shame, he would not be disobedient to this point.

I endured it when I sent a king eight to myself before, but this time it's the same, what can I do if I can't bear it, is it like Zhaozong in history, go out and be tough?

From a personal standpoint, Li Ye is very willing to fight hard with Li Mao.

But from the standpoint of Datang Sheji, doing so is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and if you don't hold back for a while, it will only attract greater shame later.

Li Ye laughed out loud and vented the depression in his heart, he had crossed over to become an emperor, and he was still so aggrieved. The surrounding ministers thought he was mad.

After laughing for a while, Li Ye said loudly: "Feng Fengxiang Festival made Li Maozhen the king of Qi. ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers around him all knelt on the ground.

Some of these ministers are old ministers of the Four Dynasties, who have experienced the Huichang Zhongxing of Wuzong, and witnessed the glory of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Huangchao is the most fierce period, the emperor's dignity is always there, how have you ever seen the emperor forced to be like this?

One by one, they burst into tears and beat their chests, as if they were bullied by Li Maozhen not Emperor Li Ye, but them.

"Alright, alright." Li Ye was impatient, he couldn't see anyone acting in front of him.

It is not excluded that some people are really angry about Li Ye, but there are also some people who are obviously acting.

The edict was quickly drafted by the Zhongshu Province, and when Li Ye was stamping, he suddenly had a prank mind, and by the way, he added a stroke, and named Li Maozhen's Xuan Turtle as the Turtle General, and originally wanted to seal the Ninja Turtle Turtle General, but considering that the word ninja was a bit out of the times, he removed it, and he knew what was going on. Although the ministers were stunned, they did not dwell on this matter.

There are 100,000 rebels under the city, and most of them think that as long as the emperor doesn't toss, it's okay.

The problem is that Li Ye has never tossed or provoked Li Maozhen.

It has always been Li Maozhen who has to be tossed.

On the day the edict was sent, Li Maozhen replied, saying that the emperor was surrounded by ministers, which would only corrupt the society of the Tang Dynasty, and I, Li Maozhen, as His Royal Highness the King of Tang Qi, could not watch the ministers mislead the country, and asked to remove Liu Chongwang and Du Rangneng from all their official positions and hand them over to him Li Maozhen, or the emperor personally executed the two.

At the same time, Han Quanzhu and Cui Zhaowei were appointed prime ministers.

Li Maozhen perfectly interprets what it means to be inch-inch.

Du Rangneng is the person Li Ye is ready to reuse, Liu Chongwang is loyal to the king, and he has also strongly advised Zhaozong not to let Zhang Jun lead the army into Hedong.

Now they are all named by Li Maozhen.

The meaning of Li Maozhen's move is very clear, that is, to cut off the useful people around Li Ye and make the emperor an obedient puppet.

This precise blow made Li Ye extremely uncomfortable.

If you say that there is no inner ghost, you don't believe it.

Li Ye stared at Cui Zhaowei's old face.

Cui Zhaowei was not panicked, the city was his big backer, what was he afraid of.

"Your Majesty, no, if you are invited by Li Maozhen, where is the dignity of the court? Where is the law of the imperial court? Cui Yin jumped out at this time and said angrily. It is difficult to say whether his anger was because of Li Maozhen's offense against the emperor, or whether Han Quanzhu and Cui Zhaowei robbed him of the position of prime minister.

This Cui Zhaowei and Cui Yin are both from the Qinghe Cui family, and they are still a little related by blood, they both covet the position of prime minister, and they are both equally shameless, and even in the same way, one colluded with Wang Xingyu, and the other colluded with Zhu Wen, but the end was miserable.

I can't help but say that there is a problem with Qinghe Cui's education method.

Knock Knock Knock –

The drums of war sounded again. Although the 80,000 Fengxiang troops under the city did not attack, they shouted loudly: Please punish your majesty.

When Li Ye heard the shout, he really wanted to throw the Cui family's two goods down.

But he can't do it, and he doesn't have the strength to do it.

Reluctant to do so, he can only be reluctant like the Turtle General.

The Shence army is as white as the earth, the previous battle has already made them understand the power of the Fengxiang army, if it weren't for Zhang Chengye's cavalry to help the battle, I'm afraid Chang'an City would have been broken a long time ago.

"Your Majesty." Liu Chongwang saluted the emperor with a calm face.

Li Ye knew what he wanted to say, and he also knew what he wanted to do, "No, Liu Xiang doesn't need to say much, even if I die in battle, I won't follow the wishes of a thief!" ”

Liu Chongwang does not have the talent of troubled times like Zhang Liang and Xiao He, but his conduct is nothing to say, and he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, if Li Ye can't even keep such a person, it will only make the hearts of the Tang Dynasty people lose everything!

"Your Majesty can say this, Chen Jiuquan can be blind, only hate the ministers to be shallow in learning, failed to assist His Majesty Kuang Fu Sheji, and now steals the position of prime minister, but there is no way to deal with the current situation, it is really ashamed of Your Majesty!" The calmness in Liu Chongwang's eyes frightened Li Ye.

Such people often make up their minds and will never change them.

Li Ye stood up from the stool, "No, if I say no, I can't do it, I'll hand you over to Li Maozhen, what face will I see in the world in the future!" ”

This time he's not acting.

Liu Chongwang bowed deeply to Li Ye three times, "As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can he stoop to the hands of thieves?" ”

After speaking, he suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist: "Minister, may Your Majesty's original intention not change, and save the Tang Dynasty and the world!" ”

Li Ye was too late to stop it, and a blood red bloomed with the setting sun.

A few of them splashed in his face.

Blood is hot......

After defending the city in the past few days, Li Ye has not seen dead people, but Liu Chongwang's self-slaughter brought him an incomparable shock!

A shock from the soul.

Save the Tang Dynasty and save the people in the world.

This is not an empty slogan.

It's that there are really people who are willing to give their lives for it!

"Alas, why should Liu Xiang?" Cui Yin sighed in front of Li Ye.

Of course, a person like him will not understand Li Chongwang's intentions, let alone shed blood for Datang. Under Li Ye's murderous gaze, Cui Yin retracted his neck and retreated behind the person.

Cui Zhaowei's eyes finally had a trace of fear.

The shouts of the Fengxiang army under the city continued.

Sun Dezhao, the left commander of the Shence Army, led a cadre of generals to bow down in front of Li Ye: "Please Your Majesty quickly punish the ministers!" ”

The generals behind him shouted, and then the Shence army on the city wall also shouted: Please Your Majesty quickly punish the ministers! Thousands of people are shouting: Your Majesty, please punish the ministers quickly!

For a long time, Li Ye subjectively only regarded this soul crossing as a game, and he was a senior game fan in his previous life.

But I never thought that this game was flesh and blood, alive and bloody.

It turns out that in this game, there are not only deceitful and shameless, but also loyal and courageous, sacrificing their lives for righteousness.

Li Ye closed his eyes, but his whole body was trembling.

In his previous life, he was sleek and sophisticated, but he did not lose the conscience in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" A familiar voice woke him up.

When he opened his eyes, Du Rangneng was already standing in front of him, looking as usual, holding the Xuan Turtle in his arms, and there were several Divine Ce troops behind him.

In an instant, Li Ye was extremely frightened.

Sun Dezhao raised his arms and shouted: "Our soldiers sacrificed their lives for Your Majesty, why does Your Majesty cherish the lives of a minister?" ”

Li Ye wanted to shout loudly: They are not ministers, but the last essence of the Tang Dynasty.

But looking at the cunning eyes of the Shence soldiers, there was only a gloom left in his heart, so what did he say? Who is here, who doesn't know that these are just Li Maozhen's slogans?

Du Rangneng said lightly to the Shence army beside him: "Generals, let Rangneng die today, can you let me say a few words to Your Majesty alone?" ”

Sun Dezhao's expression was hesitant, obviously afraid of long nights and dreams, but if he refused, I was afraid that the emperor would blame himself.

After coming into contact with Li Yesenran's gaze, Sun Dezhao had to retreat, "The general trend is like this, Du Xiangdon't blame the last general." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, today's events have nothing to do with General Sun." Du Rangneng looked calm like an outsider.
