Chapter Forty-Seven: Offending the Dragon's Scales and Insisting on Doing It
Quiet!
As soon as Li Leng spoke, the bright smile on Li Daoyuan's face disappeared, his eyes gradually became sharp, staring at Li Leng motionlessly, without saying a word.
Gao Shui on the side sweated for Li Leng.
Li Leng's behavior is a taboo for Li Daoyuan.
The prince participates in the six books, which is a major event that exceeds his duty.
Gao Shui's mouth moved, and he wanted to say a few words for Li Leng, but when he saw Li Daoyuan's cold face, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"Oh, what do you want to do with him?" Li Daoyuan was unhappy, but he didn't show it on the spot, picked up a notebook, didn't look at Li Leng anymore, and said lightly, "Cheng Wanli and Zuo Taibei are both officials of the imperial court, you are not the prince who participates in politics, and you are the secretary and waiter of the Ministry of Rites for no reason, that is a broken rule, aren't you afraid of being punished?"
Li Leng said: "Erchen understands that this move is not in line with the rules of etiquette, but if Erchen does not participate in Cheng Wanli and Zuo Taibei, he is disloyal and unfilial to his father." ”
"Oh, what do you want to do with them?" Li Daoyuan raised his head slightly, glanced at Li Leng, and asked casually.
Li Leng said: "Father Qi, the envoy dress prepared by the Ministry of Rites for his sons and daughters is embroidered with a seven-clawed golden dragon. According to my Tang law, the only one who is qualified to wear the seven-clawed golden dragon is His Majesty. The rest of the people dared to transgress the rules and wear the seven-clawed golden dragon, and they were complicit in rebellion, and their sins were unforgivable. The son asked his father to send someone to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Rites, so as to honor the son and the son of loyalty and patriotism. ”、
Rumble!
When Li Daoyuan heard what Li Leng was involved in, he was furious.
Li Leng sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and his words and deeds, and even the way he dressed, all represented the final decision and face of the Tang Dynasty, but the Ministry of Rites actually prepared a seven-claw dress for Li Leng, what did they want to do? Do they think that the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty is a vassal of the Han Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty is a vassal state of the Han Dynasty?
If Li Leng didn't know these rules and really wore a seven-clawed golden dragon dress to meet the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, it would definitely be the most oolong and comical disaster in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Daoyuan slammed the table and roared angrily: "The Iron Armor Guard obeys the order!"
"The last general will listen to orders. Shangguan Yun and the others immediately entered the hall, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said respectfully.
Li Daoyuan was full of anger and said coldly: "Immediately arrest Cheng Wanli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zuo Taibei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, they dare to resist and will not be killed." ”
"The last will obey. Shangguan Yun received the order, quickly brought more than a dozen ironclad guards, surrounded the mansion of the Ministry of Rites, read out the holy will, and immediately arrested Cheng Wanli and Zuo Taibei.
Li Leng knelt motionless on the ground, and he could feel Li Daoyuan's monstrous anger from a distance of more than ten meters.
"You get up!" Li Daoyuan suppressed his anger a little and let Li Leng get up first.
"Yes. After Li Leng got up, he stood quietly on the side and waited.
He knew that it would be superfluous to say one more word or word at this time, and it would cause Li Daoyuan's disgust and displeasure.
Now that he has lit the line of fire, the only thing he has to do now is to stand on the side and watch the excitement.
Cheng Wanli and Zuo Taibei will definitely not escape death! Then the positions of the Ministry of Rites and the squire will be vacant.
These two positions are the core positions of the imperial court, and everyone will be blushing and everyone wants to win them.
Li Leng also thought.
The reason why he took the risk and insisted on going his own way to participate in Cheng Wanli and Zuo Taibei was that after taking down these two people, he would have a certain right to speak and decide on the next round of personnel arrangements.
Li Leng knew that it was difficult, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to operate it.
Half an hour later, Sima Lin, the head of the right division of the Iron Guard, escorted Zuo Taibei, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, into the main hall.
Li Daoyuan's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to let Sima Lin go down first, and then, his fierce gaze stared at Zuo Taibei, and the murderous aura was released little by little.
Zuo Taibei, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, trembled, and he didn't know exactly what was going on, but he vaguely guessed that it was probably related to the matter of the Ten Princes.
"Zuo Taibei, you are so bold!" Li Daoyuan angrily threw a book of folds in front of Zuo Taibei, and said coldly, "You still have the face of the tenth prince Li Leng, what kind of heart do you have?"
"What?" Li Leng was full of horror, he never expected that this Zuo Taibei would join him.
What do you think of him?
There is only a matter of dresses exceeding their duties.
In other words, this is simply a set given to him by the Ministry of Rites.
This journey is really insidious.
But what really scared Li Leng was Li Daoyuan's imperial tricks and methods.
Li Daoyuan had already seen Zuo Taibei's participation in his recitals, but Li Daoyuan did not move, suppressed the recitals and did not investigate or deal with them.
Li Daoyuan is waiting, waiting.
What is the development of the situation?
Wait until he can find out about the conspiracy of the Ministry of Rites.
What will he do when he finds out about the etiquette department's cattiness?
In other words, if he doesn't go to Cheng Wanli and Zuo Taibei, then he will completely lose Li Daoyuan's trust.
Regardless of whether he has a rebellious heart or not, whether he has the ambition to seize the throne, he can't just discover the conspiracy and tricks of the Ministry of Rites, and he can't deal with the tricks of villains like Cheng Wanli and Zuo Taibei, what value does he have that is worth Li Daoyuan's energy and time to cultivate?
The emperor's mind is unfathomable.
Li Leng was afraid for a while, and he was very glad that he made the right move, otherwise, his situation would be passive.
Gao Shui secretly glanced at Li Leng, and saw that Li Leng was shocked and frightened for a moment, but quickly returned to his usual calmness and calmness, but was surprised by Li Leng's mood and concentration.
"Your Majesty, I ......" Zuo Taibei continued to sweat coldly, his body trembled even more, and he trembled and said, "What the minister said, the sentence ...... The sentence is true. ”
"Do you still dare to deceive me?" Li Daoyuan was furious, "From the time I appointed Li Leng as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, to this day, Li Leng has been cultivating in Sword Tomb Mountain. In the past ten days, he has not gone down the mountain for a single step, let alone seen anyone, and you are still slandering him and threatening you in the song, asking you to embroider a seven-clawed golden dragon on the envoy's dress, hum, I am curious, does he have a doppelganger technique?"
"I ......" Zuo Taibei's face turned pale, and he was even more frightened, why didn't anyone tell him about this situation?
If he knew that Li Leng had been cultivating in Sword Shrine Mountain for the past ten days, he would not have written this on the fold if he was killed.
"Say, who instructed you to do this?" Li Daoyuan shouted angrily, "Don't say it, I will destroy your nine clans." ”
"Your Majesty spares your life, I said, I said it all. Zuo Taibei was shocked and said in a panic, "It was Shang Shu Cheng Wanli who asked me to do this." He...... He told me that His Majesty didn't like the Ten Princes, but he couldn't find an excuse to deal with them. He also told me that as long as I am on this stage, His Majesty will definitely look at me differently, and he will definitely reuse me in the future, and I will be the only one who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”
