Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

In the Taiji Hall, Yu Zhining said that Zhang Peng was presumptuous of being a scholar.
Zhang Peng looked at Yu Zhining with cold eyes and asked, "Sir, since you think that scholars should take the people of the world as their responsibility, I beg Your Majesty to allow the women in this man's family to go to the army to comfort the soldiers guarding the border."

When Zhang Peng said this, the entire court was shocked. Such a vicious plan was really poisonous.

Yu Zhining was confused and thought, "Shouldn't scholars be reserved? Why is this person's mouth as sharp as a knife?"

He saw Li Shimin above him lost in thought, and he knelt down in panic, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, this man has evil ambitions, and his crime deserves death!"

Zhang Peng looked at Yu Zhining with disdain and laughed: "Haha, you are the scholar who keeps saying that he takes the people of the world as his responsibility. You are not worthy of being a scholar. You have read so much about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame that you have lost your mind. A fifty-year-old old man actually wants to take a fifteen-year-old girl as his concubine. Pah."

Zhang Peng really spat at Yu Zhining, and then continued: "Don't say you are doing this for the benefit of the people of the world, but deep down you are afraid of death and have no shame. I'm talking about you, the so-called scholar. Bah."

No one in the entire court spoke except Zhang Peng, and Yu Zhining was criticized to pieces.

Li Shimin began to feel that Yu Zhining was a bit annoying. He was thinking whether he should transfer this guy away from Chang'an for a while.

"Your Majesty, may I dare to make a suggestion?" Zhang Peng knew that his time was running out, and his wife was waiting for him on the road to the underworld.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin said seriously, "Speak."

"I know that your Majesty has great ambitions and wants to work hard to make the Tang Dynasty powerful, so I would like to offer my small opinion as a scholar. The people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Our Tang Dynasty should be people-oriented. We cannot let corrupt officials go, and we must not indulge those dandy young men who rely on their family power to do evil, such as Feng Yandao and his ilk." After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he kowtowed to Li Shimin who was sitting on the dragon throne above.

"Good, good, it's a good saying that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Your suggestion is very good. Are you willing to serve as an official in the court?" Li Shimin was a little excited. He no longer pursued the fact that Zhang Peng had once wanted to kill him.

"I don't have much time left, thank you Your Majesty. My only wish now is to see Feng Yandao in person and see him accept the punishment he deserves." He shook his head slightly. He had already determined to die, and he only hoped to see Feng Yandao being brought to justice before the deadline.

"All officials in the court, listen to me. If you have any playboys in your family, you'd better keep them under control. If you let them out and cause public resentment, don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless." Li Shimin said while sitting on the dragon throne with a grim look.

"Your Majesty, I obey your order." At this moment, all the ministers were thinking that they must take good care of their children after returning home. If they dared to do bullying things outside, they would break their legs.

Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and other civil officials were still thinking about the policy proposal Zhang Peng had suggested.
"The people are like water, and the ruler is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The people should be the foundation."

Wei Zheng now looked at Li Wu, the former steward of the Crown Prince. After thinking it through, he realized that this was what Li Wu meant. It must be said that this man was really vicious.

Li Junxian came back and reported: "Your Majesty, I found a secret door in Feng Deyi's house and found 300,000 taels of silver inside. All the members of the Feng family have been captured. Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

"Three hundred thousand taels of silver, Feng Deyi, my father treated you so well, and this is how you repay our Tang Dynasty. You are worse than a beast. Minister of Revenue, Dai Wei, go and collect all the silver that was confiscated from Feng Deyi's property and put it into the national treasury. Li Junxian, drag Feng Deyi's son, Feng Yandao, outside the Taiji Palace for me, I will chop him off with my own hands." Li Shimin's words had just fallen.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this. Taiji Palace is such a sacred place, how can it be defiled by such filthy people?" The old man Wei Zheng immediately came out to stop him.

Zhang Sun Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, it is true. A filthy man like Feng Yandao does not deserve to die. It is not worth it for you to do it yourself." "Your Majesty, I, Zhang Peng, beg you to let me do it for you and kill Feng Yandao. In addition, I think that Your Majesty can announce what happened in the court today to the world. Your Majesty killed his brother because of Feng Deyi's instigation." Zhang Peng kowtowed sincerely to Li Shimin.

"I agree." Li Shimin said magnanimously.

Wei Zheng continued, "Your Majesty, isn't there a seal at the gate of Taiji Palace saying that it is stained by the blood of these thieves?"

Li Shimin said with a headache: "Li Junxian, take Feng Yandao and Zhang Peng to a corner of Kara."

"I obey your order." "Your Majesty, I thank you." Li Junxian and Zhang Peng went out.

Zhang Peng was a little weak. He said to Li Junxian, "I'm sorry, General Li, I'm a little weak. I took up a lot of your time."

"It doesn't matter. Actually, I'm also very annoyed with Feng Yandao. This beast often does nothing for human beings." Li Junxian also complained.

Although Zhang Peng was weak, the journey was not far. Li Junxian took Zhang Peng to the room where Feng Yandao was imprisoned.

When Zhang Peng looked at Feng Yandao, whose legs were disabled, he felt relieved. He said to Feng Yandao, "Feng Yandao, do you still recognize me?"

Feng Yandao raised his dirty face and asked with doubtful eyes: "Who are you?"

Zhang Peng laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. The most important thing is that I will be the one to send you off. Oh, by the way, in fact, today, your Feng family suffered such a great disaster, almost all because you robbed my bride on the street. Now everyone in your family is in jail today. This is the result. Do you understand?"

"General Li, can you give me a knife?" Zhang Peng said to Li Junxian.

Li Junxian quickly brought in a knife from the guards outside, "Please..."

"I don't need to thank you for your kindness." Zhang Peng took the sharp machete, and then his eyes were like the devil from hell. He looked at Feng Yan coldly and said, "It's time to send you on your way. My wife must be waiting anxiously for me."

Li Junxian left the room automatically.

Then, screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard in the room.
Li Junxian was a little scared when he heard those screams. It was really frightening.

Finally, Li Junxian went in. Feng Yandao was in a terrible state. All five limbs were cut off. What was even more horrifying was that the smallest limb among the five limbs was chopped into meat paste by Zhang Peng.

"Li, Li, General Li, on behalf of the common people, I would like to thank Your Majesty." After Li Junxian came in, Zhang Peng said the last sentence, leaned against the wall, and died with a relieved expression on his face.
