After leaving the court.
The dark clouds that had been shrouding the sky miraculously dispersed.
The fiery red sun, with its warmth, spreads heat all over the earth, warming the world.
Outside the palace.
Li Guogong felt the warmth coming through his clothes, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be that... this year's strange late spring cold has passed?"
Why is late spring cold?
An unusual weather condition.
The weather in spring should have turned from cold to warm, but the cold wave in winter still persists at this time. As a result, the time is spring and the temperature is still winter.
Li Jian smiled!
As the weather gets warmer, the poor people at the bottom of Daxia will have a way to survive!
Is this a good sign for him to re-enter the temple?
Unknowingly, Li Jian's mind turned to government affairs.
Over the years, in the Daxia court, the emperor has always asked the prince to supervise the country.
The emperor's purpose was very simple, which was to familiarize the prince with government affairs, demonstrate his abilities, gain recognition from important officials in the court, and cultivate a tacit understanding between the future monarch and his ministers.
However, it backfired!
Over the years, the prince not only had no ability to show off, but also perfectly displayed his shortcomings of being fierce and timid, chilling the hearts of many important ministers and letting down Emperor Xia's hard work.
Therefore, although Xia Tian's seven brothers have already arrived in the fiefdom, they have all begun to be dishonest, and they all want to return to the imperial capital one day and sit on the throne of the prince.
If not, you can usurp the throne!
Anyway, this is how their emperor sat on the throne.
Therefore, there are rumors in the imperial capital that the seven princes are training private soldiers in the fiefdom and intending to rebel. It is definitely not groundless.
If the Daxia Empire is compared to a calm sea, then there are already turbulent waves under the calm water.
All kings want to be emperor.
Just when Li Jian was considering his next move.
The old eunuch appeared in front of the main hall and said: "Dong Li Guo and Prime Minister Cao, please stay!"
Li Guogong and Cao Wei turned around at the same time, their faces full of respect: "Eunuch Wei, does your Majesty have an oral message?"
"It's not an oracle!"
The old eunuch, Eunuch Wei, was all smiles: "Your Majesty announces that the two adults will meet in the imperial study!"
"According to the order!"
Li Guogong and Cao Wei both secretly guessed: "Why did the emperor summon them at this time?"
Is it related to the murder of Qingzhou Governor Ye Fan?
Or is it related to Wang Xia Tian of Huangzhou?
Shortly after.
In the royal study.
Eunuch Wei led Cao Wei and Duke Li into the door. After coming forward to greet them, he stood respectfully in front of the desk and listened to the holy words with Sima Jian who arrived first.
at this time.
Emperor Xia's face was as dark as water, with no expression on his face: "Prime Minister Cao, I handed you Xiaojiu's royal words and asked you to write a letter to talk about your feelings. Why is there no memorial from you on my desk so far?
Old God Cao Wei was there, and he took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Wei: "Your Majesty, I have written my thoughts on the memorial. Please read it."
Emperor Xia was a little strange: "Since Prime Minister Cao has already written it, why didn't he submit it to the court?"
beside.
A strange color flashed in Sima Jian's eyes!
Be alert!
This old guy is a little weird today and may be playing tricks!
the other side.
Li Guogong's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic!
Cao Wei, the old fox, is going to cause trouble!
Because when he wants to cause trouble, that's the look in Cao Wei's eyes now.
A sly eyebrow.
but.
What Li Jian fears most in his life is having nothing to do!
In the past few years, he left the Li family army far away at the frontier and returned to the imperial capital to recuperate from his injuries. His life was uneventful and he was so idle that his balls ached!
Fortunately, he has now found a new goal!
It is to send the King of Huangzhou to the throne of the God King!
Li Jian put aside his worries and stared at Cao Wei!
These few years.
He silently observed the entire Daxia court, especially the important ministers who could enter the Daxia Palace to discuss matters.
Li Jian discovered that important officials in the DPRK had been won over by various forces.
Among them, Cao Wei helped the prince win over the most people.
Other princes also attracted supporters in the court.
At that time, Xia Tian was still pretending to be stupid in the palace library.
Then.
He observed the prince and the princes, hoping to find a wise king who could lead the Great Xia Dynasty forward in the future.
Very disappointed!
The prince and the other kings are all people with great ambitions but few talents. In terms of ambition, one is worse than the other in terms of talent.
Sure enough, he was born to the same father.
However, the father is a tiger and the son is a dog!
Disappoint him.
Then.
He declined the attempts of all parties to win over him.
Although Li Jian has been idle in the past few years, he is a famous general in the empire, an undefeated god of war, and has high prestige in the army.
If you can get him, you can gain the trust of the Daxia Empire's military.
Now, many generals in the Great Xia Dynasty military used to be his followers and disciples.
If Xia Tian knew that there was such an old guy in the court to help him... he would be so excited that he wanted to have a bridal chamber with Sima Lan right away!
This time.
Xia Tian left the imperial capital, rescued Li Furong, killed the evil bandits, and built a base in the capital to declare war on the evil bandits in the world.
Only then did Li Jian catch his eye.
This king of Huangzhou is at least better than his eight brothers!
Maybe it can lead Daxia to prosperity.
He, Li Jian, is a person who has feelings for his family and country!
At this time.
Cao Wei's memorial has been placed in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the above is what I think. Please read it."
"If what I say is not good, please don't blame me!"
"Hehehe..."
Emperor Xia smiled faintly, without comment, and opened the memorial: "Then I will read it first and then talk about it!"
"Do you understand those sentences deeply or not?"
"Prime Minister Sima and Duke Li will also listen together to see how our right prime minister's literary talent is?"
Then.
Emperor Xia read out curiously in person: "I think that in the whole world, is it the land of the king? Is it the shore of the land? Is it the king's ministers? These four sentences are indeed the hegemony of the king, enough to be famous all over the world, and make me the king of Great Xia." Light, illuminate the land of Kyushu."
"However, the King of Huangzhou grew up in the palace. He has been demented since childhood and his wisdom is not outstanding. How could he suddenly realize such kingly principles?"
"I believe that only a born king can understand such shocking words when inspiration gathers at his peak."
"If these words are really the insights of the King of Huangzhou, then he is born with intelligence and the appearance of a king!"
"Then, is his dementia in the palace since he was a child deceiving His Majesty?"
"What is his intention?"
"This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Thinking of this, Emperor Xia raised his head and took a deep look at Cao Wei...very deeply.
But, can’t you see the joy or anger?
Emperor Xia continued to read: "I think about it again, what if I am really born to be stupid?"
"Then he will never be able to understand these four kingly words."
"But someone else should have realized it, and put it on the head of the King of Huangzhou to make him famous!"
"Who is that?"
"Who has such talent and talent?"
"I'm thinking about it...this person must be by the King of Huangzhou's side, and he must be willing to help him unconditionally!"
"Finally, I finally thought of someone..."
After reading this, Emperor Xia looked up at Sima Jian expressionlessly.
Not good!
Sima Jian had already thought of something and was secretly vigilant!
This old guy Cao Wei is going to take this opportunity to cause trouble!
really.
Emperor Xia continued to read: "Since I have followed your Majesty, I have always served you loyally and honestly. I hate those who deceive you the most."
"Therefore, if I have offended you, please forgive me!"
"I guess the person who helped King Huangzhou is Sima Lan, the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian."
"Not only is this woman unparalleled in beauty, she is also extremely talented and has the reputation of being the most talented woman in the imperial capital."
"I thought that by the side of the King of Huangzhou, this woman was the only one who could understand this royal quatrain!"
"And this daughter was granted marriage to the King of Huangzhou by His Majesty, and she will be the future princess of the King of Huangzhou. Therefore, it is only natural that the royal quatrains she has learned will make her future husband famous!"
"However, by doing this, Sima Lan not only deceived His Majesty, but also deceived everyone in the world!"
"I believe that she is only 16 years old this year and is still a simple girl. If no one instructs her, she would definitely not dare to do such a thing to deceive the emperor!"
"Unless it's under the orders of the adults in the family!"
"In the end, I believe that this matter was arranged by Prime Minister Zuo, Sima Jian!"
"He wanted to make a name for his future son-in-law."
"This is also the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Therefore, I ask your Majesty to punish the Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian, his daughter Sima Lan, and the King of Huangzhou for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Right Prime Minister: Cao Wei!"
After Emperor Xia finished reading, his face looked strange.
In the imperial study room, the air became solemn.
Emperor Xia was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Sima Aiqing, Cao Aiqing accuses you, Sima Lan, and King Huangzhou of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"I'll give you a chance to identify yourself!"
"let's start!"
"yes!"
Sima Jian turned around and pointed at Cao Wei's nose and cursed: "Cao Wei, as the prime ministers of the left and right, we should work together to assist your majesty and govern our Daxia to prosperity."
"But since I took office, you have always made things difficult for me, spoken ill of me everywhere, and made unwarranted accusations against me every day before Your Majesty!"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Hehehe..."
Cao Wei was unmoved and sneered: "Prime Minister Zuo, isn't what the truth is telling the truth?"
"If the king of Huangzhou keeps pretending to be an idiot in the palace before he leaves the palace, and only after he leaves the palace, he will tell the absolute truth about the royal way he has realized, then he is deceiving the king!"
"But if Sima Lan understood this and gave it to the King of Huangzhou, then all three of you are deceiving the king!"
"Huh......"
Sima Jian took a breath: "Cao Cao, you are so vicious!"
"In other words, no matter how I explain it, King Huangzhou has committed the crime of deceiving the king, right?"
"Tell me, what grievance does the King of Huangzhou have against you?"
"You must target him?"
snort!
Cao Wei became angry because of embarrassment: "Old thief Sima, the truth is that I am just discussing the matter. I don't want your majesty to be deceived by the king of Huangzhou!"
"As for whether you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor...didn't His Majesty allow you to defend yourself?"
"That's what you said?"
"How did you deceive me?"
Cao Wei's words are full of traps.
While arguing with Sima Jian, he observed Emperor Xia's face and actions.
This time, he wanted to use this matter with King Huangzhou to test the emperor's mind!
Is the emperor going to kill his stinky old man?
However, the emperor was just rubbing his temples and seemed to have a headache.
There was no other reaction.
at this time.
The two prime ministers faced each other, rolled up their sleeves, sprayed saliva into each other's faces, and looked like they were about to fight... It was enough to give any emperor a headache.
but.
Li Guogong Li Jian next to him was very interested!
While watching, he encouraged: "Keep spitting!"
"You have to be quick with your words, salivate a lot, and don't stop moving until you stun the opponent!"
"You guys are not good at talking!"
"I remember when my father-in-law sprayed the six ministers of the older generation, they were so angry that they couldn't even say a word and almost hanged themselves!"
The more Li Jian talked, the more energetic he became. He wished he was the one to show up. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you really can't talk, just take action!"
"Quick! Let's fight!"
"Whoever wins is right."
The old eunuch Wei Eunuch wanted to laugh when he saw it!
However, when he saw the emperor's headache, he held it in and his face turned red, like a constipated old crab.
finally.
Emperor Xia glared at Li Jian angrily.
This old guy is not a good guy either!
Then.
Emperor Xia stood up suddenly, shouted with a gloomy face: "Presumptuous!"
"thump......"
In the imperial study room, everyone in the room knelt down!
When the king was angry, everyone knelt down and bowed their heads, not daring to say anything.
Emperor Xia said angrily: "Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister You, Sima Lan, and King Huangzhou are guilty of deceiving the emperor. The reasons are sufficient and well-founded. If you can't defend yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
at this time.
Sima Jian raised his head with an innocent look on his face: "Your Majesty, my self-defense is in my memorial!"
"Please check it out!"
"snort......"
Emperor Xia sat down again and opened Sima Jian's memorial.
Sudden.
Divine light burst out from Emperor Xia's eyes: "Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations..."
"good!"
"very nice!"
There was light in his eyes and he looked straight at Sima Jian: "Sima Aiqing, is this matter... really what you said?"
Sima Jian nodded heavily: "Yes!"
"I dare not deceive you!"
the other side.
It was the first time for Cao Wei to hear these "Four Stands".
He was also shocked!
Why establish a heart for heaven and earth?
Why establish a life for the people?
Why continue the teachings of the Holy Spirit?
Why bring peace to all generations?
Damn... these are the words of a saint!
Cao Wei was also a scholar. Hearing such holy words, he couldn't help but feel excited. He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, is this a saint from my country in Daxia?"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Cao Wei quickly flattered him!
The corners of Sima Jian's mouth twitched, and the other side of his face that Cao Wei couldn't see was full of sarcasm.
Li Jian pricked up his ears, ready to hear what was going on!
There is no doubt that these four sentences are the Holy Word!
The person who said this must be a saint!
But, who is it?
Is it the old monster hiding in the worship hall?
Or are there people from hundreds of schools of thought who have become saints?
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia closed the memorial and laughed for a moment.
Then a hint of sarcasm appeared in the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Cao Wei and asked coldly: "My right prime minister, do you think these four sentences are holy words?"
"yes!"
Cao Wei didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Then do you know who said that?"
suddenly.
Seeing Emperor Xia's expression, Cao Wei was shocked!
not good!
Emperor Xia's expression was mocking!
He is so familiar!
In other words, Emperor Xia asked him with this mocking expression... He was mocking him!
A chill rose from the bottom of Cao Wei's heart.
How did Sima Jian, an old thief, defend himself in the memorial?
Judging from the emperor's current appearance, he has no intention of punishing the crime of bullying the emperor.
In other words, Sima Jian's memorial helped him, Sima Lan, and the king of Huangzhou wash away the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Cao Wei's heart felt cold, like a pile of ice cubes.
suddenly.
His expression was shocked and his face was ashen!
Could it be that these four sentences were also said by that useless prince?
That useless prince has become a saint!
How is this possible?
Absolutely impossible!
Cao Wei's head started to have a splitting headache again!
Damn it.
Who said this?
