"Oh? Where is it?" Li Yuan heard this and asked subconsciously. He really didn't know anything about what happened last night.
The veteran slowly straightened up and said in a stiff tone: "As far as I know, His Majesty the King of Qin was in a brothel with a group of generals last night!"
"What? Brothel?!"
As soon as these two words came out of the old minister's mouth, there was an uproar in the court!
Countless eyes were fixed on Li Shimin and his party, with a hint of surprise, disgust, or in other words, a sense of amusement~
Admittedly, it was not uncommon for officials to go to brothels in the Tang Dynasty. There is even a teaching workshop specially built for officials! That thing is a ritual and music institution in the open, but secretly it's just an official prostitute! In the open-minded Tang Dynasty, visiting a brothel was really not a big deal!
However, everything depends on who does it!
Now, a prince visits a brothel and openly brings a group of generals with him! Wherever I take this, it makes people feel funny and a little bit weird at the same time!
Li Shimin's face felt a little hot when he felt everyone's eyes wandering on him!
He never thought that this matter would be exposed, and directly exposed to the public!
But if Xiao Han were here, he would definitely give his thumbs up to the official from the Ministry of Justice and the veteran minister just now to express his admiration!
These people are awesome! What an idea! insightful! There are means!
Start with a person's reputation and private affairs to destroy his image, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking the other party!
This is an improvement over simply weakening the opponent's strength! I have to say that this is not just a small step to defeat Xiao Lizi, but a big step for future factional fighting!
Even if I see that you are unhappy, I will not ignore you or diminish your rights! Just to ruin your reputation and make you feel ashamed. How simple and clear?
This trick that will be common in the future is really powerful! The completely inexperienced officials of the Tang Dynasty were all stunned. The huge court was so quiet that you could even hear breathing!
All the officials figured it out. At first glance, this matter seemed like a trivial matter. King Qin seemed to have just made a mistake that every man would make!
But if it is placed on the road to seizing the direct line, this will undoubtedly be an indelible stain!
Just look at Yan Shigu's serious expression in the court hall, and you know that he is ready to record this matter in the history books! If there are any big changes in the future, there will never be an emperor in the Tang Dynasty who is nostalgic for fireworks venues, right?
"Ahem, let me explain this. We didn't go to a brothel yesterday! We drank too much in the restaurant next door. We thought there was something illegal about forcing girls into prostitution! Then we took a look and sought justice by the way!" In the silence, Chai Shao couldn't help but explain aloud, but when he said this, his calves were trembling!
As Li Yuan's son-in-law, he is definitely no less bitter than Li Shimin now, and even more bitter in some aspects!
He also believed in Xiao Han's evildoing last night and went to the brothel with him!
Now, even if his father-in-law, the emperor, spares him, it is hard to say whether he will live to see the sun tomorrow after returning home from the next court!
Thinking about the methods of the female general Pingyang, Chai Shao seems to have seen his own miserable future...
"My opponent! What Lao Chai said is right! We are here to settle a grievance, not that! How else could we get out in less than half a cup of tea?"
Liu Hongji was listening to Chai Shao's sophistry at this time, and his thoughts came to life, and he quickly stood up and shouted loudly! It's just that this sentence seems to be a little ambiguous to other people's ears...
"Pfft..."
"Hahahaha, half a cup of tea?"
"Well, that's right. Including the time to take off your pants, it's not short, not short..."
"Hey, Brother Zhao, you're wrong to say that. It takes time to take off your pants, and it also takes time to put on your pants~"
As soon as Liu Hongji finished speaking, the huge court room was stunned for a moment, and then there was a huge roar of laughter! There are those who are talkative and add some words of jealousy from time to time!
Liu Hongji was a little confused by the laughter at this time, and looked at everyone with a blank expression!
Duan Zhixuan, who was choked and rolled his eyes, leaned over and whispered a few words to him, and then he understood the wrong words in his words! Even though he was a fool, he was a little unable to resist at this time.
The court at this moment can really apply a current buzzword, that is, there is a happy atmosphere everywhere!
Even Li Yuan on the dragon throne coughed repeatedly to hide the smile on his face!
Hahaha, this Mr. Liu is really interesting!
In the field, Prince Li Jiancheng did not laugh along with him. He was squinting at Liu Hongji, wondering if this guy was just faking it? It was clear that troubled waters had been brought to Li Shimin's head just now. Why did he say a word and this turned into a farce again?
"That's nonsense!"
Amidst the roar of laughter, the veteran who had just pointed out that Li Shimin visited a brothel also felt that something was wrong and hurriedly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was very clear among the laughter around him.
"If you hadn't gone to a brothel last night, how would you have known that girls were being forced into prostitution? If you hadn't been inside, how would you have known that they were doing illegal things!"
Liu Hongji was feeling annoyed at this time. When he heard this, an unknown fire immediately ignited in his heart!
Staring, he scolded the old minister: "Bah, old Bangzi, you are the one who is talking nonsense! Who doesn't know about the dirty things in the brothel? You need to go in and take a look to find out? Is there something in your latrine?" What don’t you know?!”
What did Liu Hongji do before? The green-skinned scoundrel in the market! After taking turns to scold the popular people, even Xiao Han had to accept the defeat! What's more, those scholars who have read poetry and books!
A vicious remark made the old minister choke and almost vomit blood three times, and he could hardly breathe evenly...
"Vulgar, vulgar!"
Seeing that the old minister was almost angry to death on the spot, many of his colleagues also felt sad and jumped out to accuse Liu Hongji.
But they seem to have forgotten that at this time last year, Liu Hongji once had a verbal battle with a group of scholars, one person challenged a group of scholars, and won a great victory!
Now, facing such a small battle, to be honest, Lao Liu is really not afraid! But don’t you think I’m vulgar? Then I will give you something elegant to try!
"stop!"
Faced with the accusations from thousands of people, Liu Hongji's anger dropped from his dantian, and then he shouted loudly! The sound was so loud that the glazed tiles above my head seemed to tremble! They were so shocked that they unconsciously stopped their voices and looked at him in confusion, wondering what kind of trouble this was!
When Liu Hongji saw that the scene became quiet, he felt a little proud. Then he tried hard to recall Xiao Han's words last night, pointed at those people and read them out:
"A flock of crows chattering,
Spewing feces from the mouth is called croak.
Let’s have some fun today,
Everyone will talk nonsense tomorrow! "
(Ps: Regarding the seizure of the direct line, historically, Li Yuan has been wavering on who will inherit the throne.
Although Li Jiancheng was established as the crown prince, Li Yuan had said more than once that he would change Li Shimin to the crown prince.
Perhaps it was because of this that Li Shimin had extravagant hopes for the throne, and Li Jiancheng gradually resented Li Shimin.
But when the two brothers had completely broken up, Li Yuan still had illusions.
He wanted to divide the Tang Dynasty into two parts after his death, with Guanzhong belonging to Li Jiancheng. Luoyang and the east of Luoyang belonged to Li Shimin, but neither of them agreed. )
