Datang Nongwang

Chapter 689 The Tang Dynasty Needs Character

Wang Li sent a signal to himself, that is, if he fights against Fang Xuanling, even his mother may not be able to protect him.

It seems that Li Shimin's trust in Fang Xuanling has reached a certain level.

But then again.

The old lady is not an official, and Fang Xuanling is someone who once followed Li Shimin to conquer the world. Li Shimin believed that Fang Xuanling was right.

Furthermore.

The Xiang family, where the old lady lives, followed Li Yuan to conquer the world.

There is also Li Chongyuan's father, who is also Li Yuan's official, not Li Shimin's.

In short.

In total, the Li family is basically Li Yuan's people, not his Li Shimin's people. Of course, this is only on the surface, and there is no way to talk about the inside.

Lee Hyo-gong?
forget it.

He himself is no longer in power. He spends his days at the mansion eating, drinking and having fun. Whether he wants to hold some military power or be an official, he has long since lost that interest.

Of course, this is also Lee Hyo-gong's cleverness.

but.

Li Chongyuan can't.

Li Chongyuan is a straightforward person who dares to love, hate, fight and kill.

Not so many bends and scratches.

If you don't like it, then just say it, if you like it, you agree with it, and you won't play all kinds of conspiracies and tricks like Fang Xuanling.

One of the previous generation of the Li family has gone, and the other is a woman from a Daoist family. They simply don't have the ability to intervene in the affairs of the court.

It's Li Chongyuan's generation.

Although Li Chongyuan's eldest brother inherited Li Gui's title, he is only a county magistrate, and even his official position is only a censor. He has no power and ability, which is similar to everyone else.

As for Li Chongyuan's second and third brothers, no matter their title or position, they are all a bit low.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan, the concubine of the Li family, has a high title, a high position, and many positions, and he has extraordinary abilities.

now.

Hearing what Wang Li said, Li Chongyuan felt more and more hatred towards the Fang family.

The matter of his father is not over yet, and now there is another matter about Li Xueyan, which makes Li Chongyuan really hate the Fang family more and more in his heart.

But hate can't be solved.

He is a minister who is trusted by Li Shimin and has a high position. He wants to bring down Fang Xuanling. Li Chongyuan thinks that he does not have the ability.

Unless various anomalies occur, leading to the death of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian or Li Zhi will take over, and so on, it is possible.

of course.

If Li Chongyuan wanted to kill Fang Xuanling, it would be easy, just find some poison, and the Fang family would be wiped out.

But this can easily lead to mutual losses.

Follow Wang Li to the first hall.

After a while, Wang Li pointed to a hall and said, "The Holy Majesty is there, you can go in by yourself."

Li Chongyuan looked at Wang Li with kind eyes, and nodded slightly.

After entering the hall, Li Chongyuan saw Li Shimin looking down at some official documents, and he didn't care about Li Chongyuan's way at all.

Not far from the hall, several servants were quietly guarding the side, waiting for Li Shimin's orders.

Li Chongyuan walked forward, clasped his fists and said, "My minister Li Chongyuan has seen the Holy One."

Li Shimin was still looking at the book, as if he hadn't heard Li Chongyuan's voice at all.

The servants not far away are also like Li Shimin.

Li Chongyuan knew that it wasn't that Li Shimin didn't hear his voice, nor didn't he didn't see him, it's just that he didn't want to talk to him.

Ok.

If you ignore me, then I will wait.

Wait until you are willing to talk to me.

In Li Chongyuan's heart, because of what the court said, he already regarded himself as a commoner.

How Li Shimin treats him, Li Chongyuan really doesn't care at all at this moment.

In short.

It is impossible for him, Li Shimin, to really behead Li Chongyuan because of such a thing.

At least, Li Chongyuan believed that he, Li Shimin, would never chop off Li Chongyuan's head because of such a thing, nor would he throw himself into Dali Temple because of such a thing.

Unless Li Shimin doesn't want his good reputation.

and so.

That's why Li Chongyuan stood there so confidently, turning his head left and right, looking at the furnishings and decorations in the hall.

Still the same sentence, you can do whatever you like, whatever you want.

For a quarter of an hour, there was no movement.

Li Chongyuan became even more presumptuous.

This is not.

At this time, he was walking to the side, looking at a mural in a part of the main hall.

Li Shimin in the distance raised his head slightly, and looked at Li Chongyuan who was looking at the mural, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

But he still didn't speak.

Two quarters of an hour later, there was still no movement.

But at this time Li Chongyuan turned to another part of the hall and began to watch others.

Three quarters of an hour, still no movement.

Li Chongyuan, who had been a little bored for a long time, was squatting at the entrance of the main hall at the moment, watching the two ants outside the hall carrying something on their backs and rushing towards the nest.

Li Chongyuan looked around, but he didn't find any stones or anything, so he stretched out his finger, bit it in his mouth, got a little bit of saliva, and began to surround the two ants on the ground.

Li Chongyuan, who was playing vigorously, didn't know that Li Shimin, who had been silent all this time, was standing behind him, with displeasure and helplessness in his eyes.

"How long are you going to mess around!" Suddenly, a dull voice sounded from behind Li Chongyuan, and Li Chongyuan stood up quickly in shock.

Li Chongyuan stood up, with a faint indifference on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, I am not fooling around. I am above the court, what is wrong with what I say, and what is wrong with it? Of course, if I accuse the Holy Majesty, If you ask the Holy Majesty, you are disrespectful to the Holy Majesty, but what you care about is the women in the world, if the Holy Majesty thinks that there is something wrong with your words, the Holy Majesty can punish you as much as you want."

Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.

This is the current state of Li Chongyuan, and it is also Li Chongyuan's attitude.

Just woke up again.

This made Li Shimin's eyebrows raised directly, and he really didn't like Li Chongyuan's indifferent attitude.

And Wang Li, who had been guarding outside the hall, felt his heart pounding after hearing Li Chongyuan's words. He was really worried that Li Chongyuan would be punished by Li Shimin directly because of these words.

"It's not your turn to talk nonsense in the court about national affairs." Although Li Shimin was unhappy, he always believed that Li Chongyuan was a talented person.

Otherwise, I would not have crowned him with so many official positions.

Even civil and military blessings are on Li Chongyuan's body.

When Li Chongyuan heard Li Shimin say that he was talking nonsense above the court, he immediately became ill, "My lord, I don't like hearing what you say. Above the court, you are the emperor and I am a subject. Courtiers have the right to make suggestions, right? People all over the world say that the Holy Majesty is a wise king, willing to listen to suggestions from people from all walks of life. Why, when it comes to me, it becomes a nonsense. There is no one around, and I don’t respect you. Now, I call you uncle. Now that I call you uncle, do I, a junior, have good ideas and suggestions, and you, an elder, still think that I am wrong?"

Li Shimin frowned again.

However, he didn't speak any more, instead he just stared at Li Chongyuan.

It was beyond his expectation that Li Chongyuan dared to talk to him like this.

However, after thinking about the things above the court, Li Shimin wondered whether Li Chongyuan was still immersed in the state of being above the court.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak, Li Chongyuan became more and more active in talking, "I won't talk about Xueyan, let's talk about Lizhi's cousin first. You married his cousin when you were 12 years old. This is to harm cousin Lizhi, and even to kill her."

"What are you talking about! As a father, why would you harm your daughter!" Li Shimin immediately became angry when he heard Li Chongyuan's words.

Li Chongyuan didn't care, "Hehe, ignorance, really ignorance. As the king of a country, you are aloof every day. I thought you were so knowledgeable. It turned out that you were as ignorant as those peasants in the market. "

Li Shimin stared angrily.

But Li Chongyuan still didn't care, "Plants have a seed stage, a seedling stage, a growth stage, a mature stage, and an old age stage. Animals are the same as humans, with a gestation stage, an infancy stage, a growth stage, and a development stage, etc. Wait. Don’t you know that people are the same as animals and plants? Cousin Lizhi was married to Sun Chong when she was 12 years old. At her age, you should know that Cousin Lizhi has not yet grown up. And, You still want to make more kisses, but you know? After the blood relatives get married, their children and descendants will be disabled, so you didn’t harm the beautiful cousin! Don’t you still love the beautiful cousin?”

Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded, and even a little confused.

"As the king of a country, don't you have someone to help you count the birth rate of all children in the Tang Dynasty? Have you not counted the data on the death of women who married prematurely? No one will help you count people who are related by blood After getting married, will the offspring be disabled? No one will help you count the death rate of these women?"

"I listen to the reports of the ministers every day, saying how much the country's population has increased, but what is the growth rate? What is the death rate? Is there any data? Can this situation be improved? No. The courtiers only know to use I write this and that, but no one does the actual things, and I only know how to write about the major events and chronicles of this dynasty, who to sing praises for, can someone solve these things? Can someone implement these things? Human life is greater than heaven , you, the Son of Heaven, don’t even care about your own daughter, so why do you care for the people below.” Li Chongyuan was not surprised at all, but he directly pushed Li Shimin to the sky.

This made Wang Li, who was not far outside the hall, after listening to Li Chongyuan's words, he who was originally worried became even more worried.

Li Chongyuan is so tough and tough on Li Shimin, isn't he courting death?

But Li Chongyuan is like this.

Anyway, it doesn't matter, whether you seek death or not, that's a later matter.

When Li Chongyuan saw that Li Shimin seemed confused, he opened his mouth again, "Let's talk about the snow geese again. Yes, Tubo is strong, but in the battle of Songzhou, Tubo was still defeated by us. Tubo praised Who is Pu? Do you understand? Do you know the internal situation of Tubo? Have you ever sent someone into Tubo? He said that he sent envoys to ask Princess Shang, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and you What is practiced is the outer king and the inner sage. But you have adjusted the law of the outer king and the inner sage, and it is the outer sage and the inner sage.”

"Although I also know the interests of the country, once the road of marriage is opened, if other countries send envoys to invite Princess Shang again in the future, will they want to send all the daughters of my Li clan and the daughter of the Holy Majesty to the throne?" Marry all over? Can you be sure that all your descendants are as capable as you? Are you so sure that whether it is Turkic or other countries, they will not grow up? At that time, isn’t it? I have to marry a princess in Tang Dynasty?"

"Uncle Tang, the country needs to have a strong character, and the back must stand up, and you can't bend down. Once you bend down, you can't get up again. I, Li Chongyuan, as a Tang person, as a Huaxia person, facing national interests, When facing the people of the country, he insisted not to cede land, not to pay compensation, not to claim vassal status, not to make peace, and not to pay tribute! But what my cousin is doing now has chilled the hearts of all my family members, and chilled all the people in the world. The heart of a woman has chilled the hearts of all the people in the world."

Li Chongyuan still didn't say a word.

That is, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.

Li Chongyuan said so much in one breath, his mouth dried up.

As for whether Li Shimin would listen or not, Li Chongyuan didn't know, and didn't want to know.

I can't protect myself now, let's love someone.

This is not.

As soon as Li Chongyuan stopped talking, he walked directly to Li Shimin's desk, picked up Li Shimin's cup of unknown stuff, and poured it down in one gulp, not caring about anything at all.

What kind of official position, what kind of title, what kind of life.

Let him go.

Several servants in the hall were dumbfounded when they saw Li Chongyuan so boldly picked up Li Shimin's soup and drank it.

but.

They have been dumbfounded for a long time, because Li Chongyuan dared to face the tough current emperor, the current emperor Li Shimin just now.

As far as Li Chongyuan's behavior is concerned, if he put it on someone else, he would have been thrown into the prison of Dali Temple long ago.

But at this moment, Li Shimin didn't seem to speak.

even.

Li Shimin stood at the entrance of the hall in a daze, as if he didn't care what Li Chongyuan did or what he drank.

Li Chongyuan who came back looked at Li Shimin and shook his head slightly.

He didn't know if Li Shimin would listen or not.

If you can listen to it, even if you are thrown into the prison of Dali Temple, it will be worth it.

If you really can't listen to it, Li Chongyuan doesn't care, just love whoever you want.

Li Chongyuan, with a nonchalant face, walked out of the hall and looked up at the sun above his head, feeling as if he was going to live to the end, with a face of enjoying the last time on his face, welcoming the sun's rays.

But at this time, Li Shimin suddenly sighed softly, "No land, no compensation, no vassal, no kinship, no tribute! This is very good, this is very good. My Tang Dynasty needs strength of character and a strong back , This is very good, very good!"

Li Chongyuan, who was enjoying his final moments outside the hall, heard Li Shimin's voice in his ears.

Laughed.
