"Marquis Li, this person is Tang Qi, the minister of etiquette. He is a member of the great uncle of the state. He likes to use etiquette to pressure others. You must be careful when dealing with him." Gao Guogong reminded in a low voice.
Li Qian nodded, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Qi passing by.
He also saw a person looking at him meaningfully, surrounded by many officials.
No need to guess, Cui Lu is the uncle of the country.
Okay, I'll give him a thumbs up on the first day in court, but he likes it, otherwise wouldn't it be too boring if everyone avoided him.
"My lord, may I ask your name?" he asked politely.
"I, Tang Qi, the Minister of Rites, Marquis Anding, have you ever learned the etiquette in the palace?" Tang Qi asked with his head raised.
"Of course I haven't learned it before," Li Qian said.
"If you haven't learned it yet, what qualifications do you have to be ranked among the officials?" Tang Qi said.
"Sir Tang, you must be familiar with etiquette, right?" Li Qian said.
"As the Minister of Rites, I am the Minister of Rites. The etiquette and laws in this palace are all set by my Rites. How can I be unfamiliar with it? Anyone who joins the court as an official should not first learn the etiquette from the Rites. It would be better for you. You have not been registered in the Rites before you dare to come. Go to court." Tang Qi snorted coldly.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Since you are familiar with etiquette, your mother asked you to go home for dinner, why don't you go back?"
"What did you say?" Tang Qi thought he heard wrongly and took a step forward.
Snapped!
What greeted him was a slap.
"Talk to me about etiquette. I'm afraid you have forgotten how Dou Huaishan died. Who doesn't know that I, Li Qian, have always been bold and arrogant? Besides, it is the emperor's order that I go to court today. I will give you face so that you can accept it as you please. You... Old man, you still have to push your limits and have the courage to discuss etiquette with the emperor!"
Tang Qi was stunned by Li Qian's slap.
Not only was he confused, but many officials present were also confused.
Even Gao Guogong was startled.
Then he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and talked about etiquette with Li Qian. Indeed, there was no such thing as being disrespectful.
"You..." Tang Qi covered his face and pointed at Li Qian, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Many officials with him also showed anger.
"Marquis Anding, you have gone too far. You dare to beat the Minister of Rites in public!"
"So what if I'm beaten? You don't want to be beaten too, right?" Li Qian took a step forward.
Those people were so frightened that they backed away.
Grand uncle Cui Lu frowned at this time, he was arrogant and domineering. This Li Qian really lived up to his reputation.
"The great pilgrimage has begun, and all the ministers are here to meet you!"
Following the shrill voice of the deacon and eunuch.
Officials also began to enter the Jinluan Hall, but there were many who snorted at Li Qian.
Tang Qi pointed at Li Qian, "Li Qian, whatever you say today, I will ask the emperor to seek justice for me!"
Li Qian raised his hand, and Tang Qi crawled into the Golden Palace.
Li Qi'an slapped his forehead, it was so virtuous that he dared to find fault with him.
In the Jinluan Hall, all the ministers took their places and saluted Li Yuanxian, who was sitting on the dragon chair. Li Yuanxian also declared that he was exempt from the ceremony, and the court meeting officially began.
Several ministers took the lead and praised Dacheng's great achievements in the past year.
Of course, the words were full of flattery, and flattering the emperor at the beginning was inevitable in every court meeting.
And he spoke endlessly.
Li Qian, who was standing behind, felt a little drowsy after hearing this.
After the ministers finished speaking, Tang Qi immediately came out.
"Your Majesty, I am suing the Marquis of Anding, Li Qian, for beating me in public and showing lawlessness. Please make the decision for me!"
Li Yuanxian glanced at Tang Qi, "Why did he hit you?"
"I just said that he didn't understand the etiquette in the palace, so I attacked me. As the minister of etiquette, I naturally have the rules to supervise etiquette. Your Majesty, please make the decision!" Tang Qi said.
"Marquis Anding!" Li Yuanxian shouted.
Li Qian walked out.
"You beat a colleague on your first day in court. What crime should you be punished for?" Li Yuanxian simply asked.
"Your Majesty, this is unfair. When did I ever beat Mr. Tang?"
