What Li Zhao said was very obvious, that is, Hu Hai was neither the crown prince nor the king. Hu Hai's words were not his will. Being disrespectful did not mean resisting the order. Not being polite when going to the palace did not mean he was disrespectful of the king.
Everyone in the audience was in awe, knowing exactly what would happen next.
This was no longer contempt for the court, but contempt for the imperial power, and described Hu Hai, who represented the imperial power, as a traitor.
The sky is going to explode.
Everyone held their breath, and their eyes quietly fell on the clan and Hu Hai.
The clan wanted to protect the imperial power, Hu Hai wanted to protect himself, and Li Zhao was in a very dangerous situation.
"You, you dare to speak like this, do you know that the power of the imperial power can destroy your nine clans?" Hu Hai no longer hid behind the guards, stood up pretending to be majestic, pointed at Li Zhao and scolded him.
Li Zhao suddenly turned around and glared at him, snorting coldly: "Do you know that the anger of an ordinary man can overturn a powerful country?"
This was not something he said casually. Historically, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed due to the anger of a common man.
These words were so sharp that they actually made Hu Hai retreat and quickly hide behind the guards. It was really a joke. But he was filled with resentment in his heart. If he hadn't asked Li Zhao for help today, he would have given away hundreds of pieces of this money.
But there was one person who really couldn't stand it and came out to scold him.
"Li Zhao, do you know what you are doing today? You are completely seeking death. Do you really think I can't kill you?"
This person was none other than Zong Zheng. He stood aside and watched for a long time, already furious.
Li Zhao turned around and sneered, "Yes, you just can't kill me."
These words are quite arrogant, and even more so in a death-defying manner.
Zong Zheng had a sullen face, but he sneered, licking his lips and asked: "Just based on what you have in your hand?"
"What do you think?" Li Zhao asked, staring directly at Zong Zheng.
"You?" Zong Zheng tried his best to hold it back, but he still couldn't help it. His fiery temper was about to explode, but he was stopped by a deep voice.
"Alright Zongzheng, please calm down and let me have a few words with General Li."
While he was talking, this man walked out of the squad. He was tall and energetic, and he was the Taiwei.
"Hmph!" Zongzheng rolled his sleeves and stepped back, saying no more words.
The Taiwei came over, raised his hands to Li Zhao, and showed a kind smile: "General Li, don't be angry. I have no choice but to announce that you go to court today. I hope you will forgive me."
His posture was very low, and his tone of voice was completely begging, which was really rare in the main hall.
Li Zhao didn't have much prejudice against Taiwei. He was not as aggressive as Zhi Su Neishi and Zong Zheng, and he didn't add insult to injury. He didn't know how to hit someone with a smiling face, so he bowed his hands.
"You're welcome, Lieutenant. Zhao came here today out of necessity."
The Taiwei hesitated for a moment when he was met with such a retort, but then he quickly laughed: "Haha! General Li is a cheerful person, so he must be confident!"
"But there is something urgent that requires you to take action. This is related to the national economy and people's livelihood of our country. I hope you won't turn it down!" The tone was completely consultative.
Now comes the topic. How could Li Zhao not guess what he was going to say, yet he knew it and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Please put out the food."
"Putting out grain?" Li Zhao half-squinted his eyes and glanced back and forth. Then he stepped down from the deer, pointed at the deer and asked the captain. He was very confused and had nothing to do with grain.
"How do you think I'll place my horse?"
"Haha! General Li is joking. This is a deer, not a horse. The deer is naturally placed in a stable."
Li Zhao was slightly displeased and corrected him: "The captain was wrong. This is a horse, not a deer. It is a horse in a stable. It dies side by side. How can we let it go?"
"This" the Taiwei was off guard, and he was murmuring in his heart: This is obviously a deer, why do you say it is a horse? Isn't this just a brush against him?
He talked condescendingly to the dog, but he started to brush himself off. He was furious for a moment, but he suppressed it.
"General Li, I am not old enough to see clearly that this is a deer. Don't fool others."
"Really? I would like to ask the ministers whether they recognize this thing. If they all think it is a deer, how about I feed it?"
Li Zhao didn't mean to joke, and he said it very seriously. The lieutenant's face darkened, and his eyes became extremely scary for a time.
But how could Li Zhao care, so he said to the ministers: "Everyone, please tell me, is this a deer or a horse?"
this?
The ministers looked at each other, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
The conversation between the two has long been known to everyone, 'If they both think it is a deer, they will release food'.
They are all human beings, so why can't they hear the hidden meaning?
If it is a deer, it is on the side of Taiwei or Hu Hai. If it is a horse, it must be on the side of Li Zhao. However, Li Zhao does not respect the crown prince in front of him and stands on the opposite side of Hu Hai.
None of them are good choices. Li Zhao is forcing everyone to take sides.
"Lieutenant, please ask everyone to come over and identify me!"
"You will know whether it is a deer or a horse by looking at each other."
