"Forgive me once or twice? How do you want me to forgive? It's because I have forgiven him several times before that he is so unscrupulous now!"
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Er's angry voice roared in every corner of the hall. Only now did people see clearly Li Er's determination to reward Li Zexuan this time!
"Your Majesty, Wei Zuocheng's words are indeed inappropriate, but the crime does not warrant punishment with a stick. Your Majesty, please think again!"
Changsun Wuji also stood up and said at this time.
After all, he did not support Wei Zheng's remarks just now, but when he saw that Li Er was about to punish the minister, he still had to step forward to stop him. This case cannot be allowed!
"Your Majesty, please think twice~!"
Changsun Wuji stood up to plead for mercy, and the other ministers could not remain indifferent. Suddenly, a large number of people bowed down and worshiped.
Seeing this, Li Er was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, Wei Zheng said again without hesitation, "The life or death of an old minister does not matter, but as your Majesty's minister, I should do it for you." For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, Lantian County was granted to Marquis Yongan. This move is against the law of the country. I believe Marquis Yongan will not agree! Neither will the people of Lantian County!"
Li Er laughed angrily and said, "Okay! Since Wei Xuancheng is so confident, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Wei Zheng said without hesitation: "Why don't you dare? But I don't know how your majesty wants to gamble?"
Li Er said with his hands behind his back: "Hmph! Just bet on whether Li Zexuan will agree to my decision and whether the people of Lantian County will agree or not! It is limited to two days. I hope that after two days, you, Wei Xuancheng, can still be so tough! Humph! Retreat! towards!"
Without giving Wei Zheng a chance to refuse, Li Er directly flicked his sleeves and announced his withdrawal from the court.
"Hey! Wei Xuancheng, Wei Xuancheng! Don't you think you are idle? Your Majesty is going to give Xiaoxuan some fiefdom, what are you doing? You jumped out to object in such a hurry, you are just looking for trouble for yourself! "
The officials had been hungry all morning and wanted to go home for dinner. Li Eryi announced his resignation, and the officials went back to their homes one after another. Cheng Yaojin walked to Wei Zheng, patted the latter's arm, and said angrily. .
As half of Li Zexuan's elders, he was of course on Li Zexuan's side in this matter. However, because Li Er lost his temper so early in the morning, it was hard for him to come out and add fuel to the fire, so he could only retreat. The emperor taunted Wei Zheng in a strange way.
"Hmph! Duke Lu, I am devoted to the public good and not to others! No matter who is responsible for today's matter, I will come out to stop His Majesty from going his own way!"
Wei Zheng rolled his eyes and hummed to Cheng Yaojin.
"Hey! What a stubborn old man! Just wait! I don't need to look at this bet with His Majesty to know that you will lose!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, unwilling to tangle with Wei Zheng, a stubborn person, and left the Tai Chi Hall directly to go home.
……………………
"Damn! This Wei Xuancheng has repeatedly contradicted me. It is really disgusting. It seems that I am too tolerant of him!"
After leaving the court, Li Er came to the Ganlu Hall. Thinking back on everything that happened in the morning, he became more and more angry. Finally, he pushed away the memorial on the table and roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, don't make yourself angry!"
At this time, Empress Changsun walked out of the palace. The look on her face seemed much better than the previous two days.
"Guanyin Maid? Come on, come and sit down!"
When Li Er saw that it was Empress Changsun, he quickly suppressed the anger on his face. After Changsun sat next to him, he asked with concern: "How is Changle recovering?"
Queen Changsun smiled and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Changle has fully recovered after two days of nursing care from Divine Doctor Sun. I also followed Changle this morning and did Tai Chi twice!"
Li Er immediately forgot about some of the unpleasantness in the court, and said with a cheerful smile: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Guanyin maid, you must continue to practice Tai Chi every day in the future. If I have time, I will practice with you! I listen to Yong'an. Hou said that even if ordinary people cannot practice Tai Chi to develop the sense of Qi, practicing more will only benefit the body without harm! When locusts flood this summer, the palace must have locusts every day in their meals. If things continue like this, Guanyin, your maid Your Qi disease will definitely get better gradually!"
Li Chengqian's prediction was good at the beginning. After the incident in Changle, there was indeed a Tai Chi craze in the palace!
Not only Queen Changsun, but also other concubines, princes, and princesses in the harem have also started practicing, and Li Er has now performed a real-life version of "True Fragrance"!
When the Academy used locusts to make the delicacy "Flying to Success", Li Er wanted to cause trouble for Li Zexuan after learning the truth. Unexpectedly, now he is looking forward to eating locusts again in the palace every day!
The changes in the world are amazing!
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm sorry!"
If there was a chance to live longer, I believe no one would want to die early. Why wouldn't Queen Changsun want to spend her whole life with Li Er in good health? So she started practicing Tai Chi, but she was more serious than anyone else. At this time, she looked at the memorials scattered on the floor, leaned down to pick them up, and laughed softly:
"I heard on the way here that Wei Zuocheng contradicted His Majesty this morning. I think Your Majesty must have been worried about this matter just now, right?"
"Hmph! That old stubborn one!"
When he mentioned Wei Zheng, Li Er suddenly became angry. He briefly told Empress Changsun what had happened in the morning in a few words. At the end, he couldn't help but added: "Guanyin, do you think Wei Zheng is relying on this?" Favoring and arrogance, he completely regarded my previous tolerance for him as indulgence! He actually compared me to Shang Zhou and himself to Bi Gan? Huh! If I were Shang Zhou, Wei Zheng would have died countless times. Got it!"
In fact, the reason why Li Er was so angry today, apart from Wei Zheng's somewhat reckless attitude, was that he had promised to give Lantian County to Li Zexuan yesterday, and his father Li Yuan was still present at the time. In this way, if he really fails to fulfill his promise because of Wei Zheng, it will not only lose his prestige, but also become a joke in Li Yuan's eyes!
This is absolutely not allowed!
Li Er has a deep obsession in his heart, that is, to be an emperor for eternity. No matter how bad he is, he can still do better than Li Yuan. He wants his father to see that no one is more suitable to sit on this throne than him!
"Haha! Your Majesty, calm down! Your last bet has caused great harm to Wei Zuocheng! I don't know if anyone will throw stones at Wei Zuocheng's house in the past two days! Phew~!"
Empress Changsun comforted her softly, then thought of something and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
