Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Facing the angry His Majesty Li Er, Princess Gao Yang didn't dare to talk anymore, and left the hall with tears in her eyes.

Then, His Majesty Li Er came to Cen Wenwen again and said, "Cen Shilang!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"It's the first time I've heard that robbing civilian women is not an illegal thing, but a romantic affair. Sir Cen, you read a lot of books on saints, can you explain it to me?"

"Uh... this..." Unexpectedly, after all the calculations, His Majesty Li Er was still offended, Cen Wenwen looked embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty... this... this is all a misunderstanding! I thought... ..."

His Majesty Li Er sneered and said: "I thought I really robbed the women of the people? Is that what I mean? Gao Yang is young and ignorant, and you, Cen Wenwen, are already old. Could it be that you are living in the belly of a dog! Get up! Get the hell out of here!"

"Yes Yes……"

Zhongshu Shilang is also a senior official of the country.If it was someone else, His Majesty Li Er would definitely show him some dignity.For example, Guo Ye, Yu Chigong, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others, even if His Majesty Li Er was annoyed, he would not insult them.

But Cen Wenwen is different. Apart from his good writing, this guy's only advantage is that he is good at flattering His Majesty Li Er.Not much better than court jesters.Therefore, His Majesty Li Er was in a hurry, and he really didn't treat him as a human being.

After Cen Wenwen was sent away, His Majesty Li Er came to Guo Ye again.

Guo Ye stood up swiftly by himself, and said: "Your Majesty, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the sternness shows a loyal minister. At the critical moment, we have to look at our Guo Ye and Guo Ziyi. There are so many people present, and I am the only one, Guo Ye. From the beginning to the end, I believe in your character the most. Look... do you want to reward me with something today? For example, changing from the Minister of Rites to the Minister of War..."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Guo Ye quite playfully, and said: "Yes, today is indeed your best performance. But... can you explain to me that the queen is the most beautiful woman in the world, how did you come here? "

"This..." In front of His Majesty Li Er, Guo Ye couldn't just say that Empress Changsun is the most beautiful in his eyes. Isn't that courting death?

He casually said: "Your Majesty, everyone knows about this matter, but you don't know?"

This time, Cen Wenwen understood the truth, and said, "Nonsense! What everyone knows? I, Cen Wenwen, have never heard of it! Why is Empress Changsun the most beautiful woman in the world? It's nonsense!"

Empress Changsun's face sank, and she said, "Oh? Really?"

Cen Wenwen was so frightened that he didn't get down, and quickly explained: "Weichen didn't mean that... What Weichen meant was that the empress is of course a beauty... But she is number one in the world..."

"You mean someone more beautiful than Ben Gong?"

"This... Of course this is not..."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Uh..." Cen Wenwen was silenced by Empress Changsun.

His Majesty Li Er coughed, relieved Cen Wenwen, and said: "What Cen Shilang means is that Guanyin's servant, your mother, is the most honorable person in the world. Even if you are really the most beautiful woman in the world, I, Da Tang Min, how could you have the guts to criticize your appearance? Qin Guogong, don’t you think so?”

Of course Guo Ye could cheat and play tricks, saying that Empress Changsun is a beauty, and she is the number one woman in the world in terms of status, so it is not too much to be called the number one beauty in the world.But in front of His Majesty Li Er, it is meaningless to play this kind of narrow-mindedness. If His Majesty Li Er's doubts are not completely dispelled, no matter how well he rounds up this lie, it will not help.

He said: "I came from a humble background. I think that when I was in the countryside, I was a farmer. The villagers are vulgar. When chatting, they will talk about who is the most beautiful woman in the world. Everyone argues, argues, and finally It is generally recognized that the Empress Empress is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Cen Wenwen said: "Mr. Qin, you are talking nonsense. A group of farmers don't even have the face of the empress, how could it be possible..." Seeing that Empress Changsun looked unhappy again, Cen Wenwen dared not continue.

Guo Ye explained unhurriedly: "Of course, the old peasants in the country have never seen the Queen's face. But they know that it is His Majesty who raised the three-foot sword to clear up the troubled times and let everyone live a peaceful life. , Rest with the people, so that everyone can eat and wear warm. Therefore, everyone is grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and thinks that His Majesty should eat the most delicious food in the world, favor the most beautiful woman in the world, and enjoy the most precious rare treasures in the world... If Your Majesty's Queen is not the most beautiful woman in the world, then who can be called the most beautiful woman in the world?"

Then, he knelt down on the ground and said: "I have nothing to say, I participated in the matter of criticizing the queen when I was young and ignorant, and I hope that your majesty will punish the crime."

"Get up!" His Majesty Li Er said with a smile on his face, "The most precious thing in the world is the hearts of the people. Among the four peoples, what I value most is the hearts of farmers. Even if they have some outrageous remarks, I can do my best! As for Guo Aiqing and you... you will not be held accountable for today's incident."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

To say what Guo Ye said is far from impeccable.However, these words just hit His Majesty Li Er's itch, even if it was slightly unreasonable.It was also completely ignored by His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er is not in the right position, what he desires most is the approval of the people of the world.For this reason, he tolerated Wei Zheng's repeated outright remonstrance, so as to create an image of a wise gentleman who accepts remonstrance with false words.For this reason, he did the thing of revising history books that made people laugh forever.Now that I have heard that the old farmer in the country loves me sincerely, I am so beautiful that I can't find the north, so how can I care about other things?

Now, the only people who are still kneeling on the ground are the sufferers of this case, Li Xinglian, the Minister of Zhongshu, and his nephew Li Zhong.

His Majesty Li Er said: "Li Xinglian!"

"Where is Weichen?"

"Like a father, like a son, you said it well!"

Chapter 1725

The cold sweat dripped down Li Xinglian's forehead!

Like a father, like a son, as soon as he said this, he scolded the two emperors.One is His Majesty Li Er, and the other is the deceased Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

If you tell Guo Ye this, it's fine.Even if Guo Ye made a small report to His Majesty Li Er, he could still say that Guo Ye was a lie.

Even if Guo Ye and Cen Wenwen reported him at the same time, as long as he insisted on denying it.His Majesty Li Er can't do anything to him.In the final analysis, in order to portray the image of Youdao Mingjun, His Majesty Li Er generally would not sin for his words.Even if Li Xinglian really said something out of the ordinary, he would be the one who can be superior.

But it is different now, His Majesty Li Er heard it with his own ears.

Li Xinglian scolded His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er endured it.It can also be explained that His Majesty Li Er has a broad mind and accepts advice with an open mind.But what about Li Xinglian scolding Gaozu Li Yuan?Hearing that other people scolded his father was indifferent, not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people would have to be scolded as a wimp!

In the current situation, if His Majesty Li Er did not punish Li Xinglian for his crime, that would be unfilial!From which point of view, Li Xinglian will not be able to please him today.

Li Xinglian's thoughts changed sharply, and he said: "Your Majesty, you are clearly aware that this is all a set up by Qin Guogong Guo Ye. He deliberately invited you behind the screen, and then lured the humble minister to speak ill of you. The culprit of this matter is Qin Guogong, Guo Ye!"

His Majesty Li Er was amused by him, and said: "Qin Guogong Guo Ye? You said that he lured you to slander me and the first emperor?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, even if Lord Qin deliberately uttered words to lure you to slander me and the first emperor, why did you accept his temptation? If someone lures you to betray the country and surrender to the enemy, what should you do?"

"This……"

His Majesty Li Er didn't wait for Li Xinglian to think of the words of defense, and immediately said: "Furthermore, Qin Guogong's surname is Guo Mingye and Ziyi. It's not Fuxing Zhuge. His single name is Liang, and his name is Kongming. How can he know the foresight? You want to come here today to beat the drum of grievances, so you specially invited me here?"

"Hmm...maybe it was Guo Ye's temporary intention to frame the minister, but I don't know."

"Then you and Guo Ye had a festival?"

"There is no injustice in the past, and there is no enmity in the present."

"Since Guo Ye has no grievances with you, why did he frame you?"

"This……"

His Majesty Li Er let out a long sigh, and said: "I tell you, Li Xinglian, you are treating a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. In fact, Qin Guogong didn't even know that I was behind the screen today."

Li Xinglian frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is a bit exaggerated... Qin Guogong is the order of Chang'an, how can we hide the affairs of the Chang'an government from him?"

Guo Ye smiled wryly and said: "To be honest, today is the first time that someone Guo has come to the government office to inspect the affairs. In terms of understanding of the government office, I am not much better than you, Li Shilang."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Cen Wenwen, tell Li Shilang, who brought me to the Chang'an government office?"

Cen Wenwen shook his head at Li Xinglian, and said, "Your Majesty was brought here."

"You..." Guo Ye and Li Xinglian exclaimed together.
