In two quarters of an hour, all the soldiers, merchants, and civilians were on board. Thousands of large merchant ships occupied the entire Bahe River, and it was a majestic sight with no end in sight.
"Dong~~dong~dongdong~dongdongdongdong!"
On the shore, two strong men began to beat the expedition drum. The drum beat became faster and faster, as if every blow hit people's hearts. When the soldiers on the ship heard the drum, they began to raise their flags one after another, and all the merchant ships immediately hoisted their sails. set sail! For a moment, the canvas covered the sky and the sun, and with the sound of the expedition drums, people on the shore felt an inexplicable majesty and desolation. Some old people and women silently clasped their hands together, praying that their relatives could come back safely.
"Oh~! I hope you are all safe! I have tried my best!"
Although he knew that at the beginning of every great era, someone would die, Li Zexuan still hoped that no one would die. He came up with the strategy of going south to exchange food. If many originally harmonious and happy families were broken up because of this incident, he would be uneasy. .
However, every loss must be rewarded. This sea trade trip will definitely achieve results that will shock everyone. This will prevent many people from starving to death in the next year's locust plague. The Tang Empire extended its minions overseas for the first time, and maybe this would usher in the mighty Age of Discovery!
"Fortunately, I have traveled through time in the Tang Dynasty. In this era, the kings, saints and ministers were virtuous, and the whole country had a pioneering spirit of forging ahead. It would be easier to facilitate ocean voyages; but if I had traveled through time in the Ming Dynasty, I would have to find a way to break through the maritime ban policy. , in the process, we will inevitably have to fight with some vested interests, fighting to the death, and maybe even losing our lives."
Li Zexuan was silently grateful in his heart that he had traveled through this open and high-spirited era. Otherwise, if he, a novice with no experience in political struggle, had to fight with a group of old officials, wouldn't it be like taking jujube pills?
……………………
"Huh~? Why don't you see Cui Shanyou? Didn't I ask him to come to attend the morning court today?"
After the expedition ceremony was completed, Li Er returned to the palace with all his civil and military officials and began the morning court.
The emperor and his ministers all talked about trivial matters. After half an hour, no ministers had anything to report. At this time, Li Er glanced at Ju Qingliu and Lu Yanyu among the ministers. , Zheng Zhanli and others suddenly remembered that Cui Shanyou had secretly impeached Li Zexuan yesterday, so he asked softly.
Li Zexuan got up too early in the morning and was taking a nap with his back against a huge wooden dragon pillar. At this moment, when he heard Li Er's question, he perked up and woke up. He thought that the good show had finally begun, but he didn't I wonder if these people can sue without Cui Shanyou.
"Back to Your Majesty, Dr. Cui was so angry that Li Siye vomited blood and fell into a coma. He is currently undergoing treatment at the Imperial Medical Office. Your Majesty, please seek justice for Dr. Cui~!"
Lu Yanyu let out a cry of sorrow and walked to the front of the officials. Some of them said sadly.
The funny thing is, everyone in the place he passed was "smoked" and took two steps back. Li Er could see clearly from above, and was wondering in his heart, when suddenly a stench hit his face, and Li Er quickly covered it. Nose, said displeasedly:
"What did Lu Aiqing eat in the morning? Why does it smell so bad?"
"Uh~~~!"
Lu Yanyu, who was playing the tragedy card in front of Li Er, suddenly went blank when he heard this. Thinking of what he had experienced along the way from this morning to now, he couldn't help but feel sad, feeling that the whole world was full of malice.
"Your Majesty, I went out this morning and accidentally stepped on a child's excrement. In order to participate in the expedition ceremony, I just washed it hastily. As a result, I have now lost my dignity before the king. I will die. I hope your majesty will atone for my sin!"
After being stunned for a long time, Lu Yanyu could only apologize with a bitter look on his face.
"Well, forget it, because of your loyalty, I won't pursue it!"
Although Li Er was unhappy, he couldn't punish people just because of this. He waved his hand and said magnanimously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Well, you just said that Cui Shanyou was so angry that Li Zexuan vomited blood. What happened? Tell me quickly."
Li Er glanced at Li Zexuan, who was leaning on the dragon column, and asked lightly. He was a little annoyed, secretly blaming Li Zexuan for being so idle and so naughty.
"Back to Your Majesty, today in Bashang, Li Siye slandered us for eating shit. Everyone knows that Dr. Cui has always paid attention to his reputation. How could he be so insulted? He was so depressed that he vomited three liters of blood and fainted. Past."
Lu Yanyu was so moved that she almost shed tears. After writing the ink for so long, Li Er finally got to the point, so he excitedly stepped forward, bent over and cried to Li Er.
Just doing this could almost kill Li Er.
Li Zexuan from behind opened his eyes wide and secretly cursed Lu Yanyu for being so shameless! What is vomiting three liters of blood? How dare you vomit three liters of blood? Do you still have life? Sure enough, literati kill people without a knife, but with their mouth!
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! I smelled the stench in Dr. Cui's words this morning, and I just asked him if he ate shit this morning. I definitely did not advertise to outsiders that he ate shit. All the civil and military officials can testify!"
Rather than waiting to be wronged and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to defend him. Anyway, this morning's incident cannot be blamed on him, Li Zexuan. If it is, blame it on Old Man Cui for stabbing someone in the back and his poor mental endurance.
"Back to your majesty, I can testify that this old minister is right! What Li Siye said is true."
Cheng Yaojin immediately stood up and supported Li Zexuan.
On the way to the palace, Li Zexuan had already told Cheng Yaojin and others about his impeachment by Cui Shanyou and others. Of course Lao Cheng was on Li Zexuan's side, and besides, he was also responsible for Cui Shanyou's anger in the morning. "Credit"!
Hearing what Li Zexuan and Cheng Yaojin said, Li Er nodded lightly. He looked at Lu Yanyu and asked, "Lu Aiqing, is what Li Siye said true?"
"this...."
Lu Yanyu was dumbfounded. If he objected again, he would be cheating. After all, there were many people present at the time, and they all had a good relationship with Li Zexuan.
"Back to Your Majesty, although what Li Siye said is true, Dr. Cui's fainting was directly related to Li Siye. Moreover, when I went out today, I found a large amount of children's feces at the door of my house. I think this may be related to Li Siye can’t escape his involvement.”
At this time, another "shit man" came out of the crowd and shouted at Li Er. It was Zheng Zhanli, a doctor from the Four Schools.
"Oh~? Is there such a thing? Li Zexuan, did you do this?"
A glint flashed in Li Er's eyes. He looked at Li Zexuan and asked. In fact, he guessed that Li Zexuan was responsible for most of this immoral thing. After all, he had just shown Li Zexuan the impeachment memorial of Cui Shanyou and others yesterday.
"Hey, this brat really must retaliate for his anger!"
Li Er laughed and cursed in his heart.
