Lin Yu smiled slightly, looked at Guo Jia,

"Can you say that again?"

Guo Jia was so frightened that his legs trembled when he was stared at by the other party, but he still insisted on keeping himself calm.

"I...I said you want to be a deserter! Others don't know your thoughts, but I know very well that you don't have half a team of soldiers under your command. How are you going to fight against the Turkic army? Are you going to seek death?"

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yu smiled contemptuously,

"The sparrow knows the great ambition? You think I can't beat it because you are short-sighted! Of course, I'm afraid you won't see the day when I return in triumph."

When he said this, there was a wicked sneer on his face, which made Guo Jia back away again and again in fright.

"You, what do you want to do? Don't mess around! This is the court hall, not your Lin family's other courtyard!"

"Humph!"

Lin Yu raised his head and said to Li Shimin,

"Your Majesty, can you agree to my conditions?"

"How do you sacrifice the flag?"

"I want the head of this man!"

Lin Yu pointed at Guo Jia, who lost his footing and fell to the ground with a plop.

Then Guo Jia begged again and again,

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this person's rumors to confuse the public, he is just trying to get revenge on this humble minister!"

"Your Majesty, I just read the almanac when I went out today, and by the way, I asked an old Taoist to do a fortune telling."

Lin Yu smiled and said,

"The old Taoist said that today's expedition must bring blood, and it must also bring the blood of loyal ministers. Only in this way can God help me and let me win the Turks. Otherwise, I will definitely lose."

Li Shimin's complexion became a little ugly, he couldn't tell that Lin Yu meant to kill someone with a knife.

But if he disagreed, then Lin Yu would have every reason to say that the reason for the defeat was that there was no sacrificial flag.

But if they agreed, the hearts of so many ministers would be cold.

Li Shimin's face was full of sorrow, and he couldn't help feeling secretly,

"Lin Yu, Lin Yu, why do you always give me these difficult problems? Sigh."

Then Wei Zheng said,

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, what Lin Yu said is all nonsense. Since ancient times, it has never been heard that the heads of loyal ministers should be sacrificed to the flag when the army is going out."

Lin Yu asked with a smile,

"You haven't heard it because you are ignorant, not to mention that an old Taoist told me this. If you don't believe me, you can ask that old Taoist! Of course, if you think you are loyal to the country, you can take your head Get up and sacrifice the flag, maybe I will win faster."

"You! Lin Yu, do you think the emperor will listen to your lies here to confuse people?"

"Whether the emperor listens or not is not up to you!"

After hearing this, Guo Jia quickly knelt down and bowed to Li Shimin,

"Your majesty, you must not listen to him. It is because of the humble minister's advice to you just now that he has the heart to kill the minister."

"Hey, you can't say that! In fact, I never thought of killing you, but I just need a loyal minister to sacrifice the flag. I think you are so loyal and considerate of the country. You must be a great loyal minister."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yu said to Li Shimin again,

"Actually, I don't just need him, other people can do it too. Ask how many loyal ministers there are and ask them to send their heads over. I really need him, and there is not much time left. , once the auspicious time passes, it will be troublesome."

Li Shimin was very entangled in his heart, he knew what Lin Yu meant,

"Then according to what Brother Yu said, who among you loves thinks he is loyal to Datang? Stand up!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and those ministers didn't even dare to move.

It was embarrassing now, Li Shimin's face couldn't hold back for an instant, and everyone usually shouted that they were loyal to Datang, and they were willing to do everything for Datang Sheji.

As a result, by this time, everyone has become dumb.

Lin Yu glanced at Su Lie, Su Lie immediately stood up,

"Your Majesty, I am willing to sacrifice myself to the flag."

Cheng Chumo and the other six also stood up,

"Your majesty, my minister is also willing!"

Li Tai finally added another sentence,

"Father, my son has never made any achievements. If I sacrifice the flag today and let my elder brother get God's help, I will die without regret!"

When he said this, not only Li Shimin panicked, but also the ministers panicked.

Everyone knelt down and prayed for nothing. After all, Li Tai was almost a sure candidate for the next emperor. If he died, what would happen to the throne in the future?

Although Li Shimin had many sons, only those two were truly virtuous and capable. Li Chengqian was forced to rebel and was exiled (actually died).

If Li Tai were to die now, then the painstaking efforts of these ministers for more than ten years would be in vain.

Therefore, they dare not let Li Tai sacrifice the flag at all.

Chapter 552, head sacrifice flag

Lin Yu glanced at the many ministers, then at his brother, and laughed heartily three times.

"Look, this is the so-called loyal minister and good general, Your Majesty, now you know what kind of goods these ministers are?"

Lin Yu said angrily, his eyes were drawn to everyone like a sword,

"One by one claimed to be benevolent and righteous, and one by one said it was for the safety of the Tang Dynasty. Are you talking about safety in exchange for other people's lives? Now that it's time to take your own lives, why are you all silent?"

No one dared to speak, and all they could do was remain silent.

"talk!"

Lin Yu scolded sharply, he walked up to an old civil servant, grabbed his neck and asked,

"I think you have lived for a long time. You should love Datang very much, right? Now is the time to use you. Come on, how about giving up your life for righteousness?"

"No, no, the old minister is incompetent, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task."

The old civil servant was trembling with fright, and if he was threatened by Lin Yu for a while, he would faint on the spot.

"Heh! Then come here, I see that the voice you shouted just now is not low, so loyal, it should be enough to sacrifice the flag."

The man knelt on the ground and begged,

"If I can do something for Tang Dynasty, it is my honor, but I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, if I just let go, they are alone in this world, I really feel sad. "

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly,

"If you're worried, I can help you adopt it. My Lin family has a big business. Can't I support an old man and a child?"

"This……"

"Stop this and that, you're obviously not loyal at all, and you're still pretending to be loyal and filial? Get lost!"

The scolding made the man's legs weak in fright, and he quickly supported the people around him, so he didn't kneel down.

Lin Yu glanced at the ministers again, and finally said very melancholy,

"Hey, I don't even have a person who sacrifices the flag, so it's hard for me! Your Majesty, why don't you just let it go like this, you see, the Turkic king can cook as he pleases, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I You have been preparing for several days, and you are about to send troops, but you look at your ministers, how pitiful and pitiful they are!"

Li Shimin's face was blackened by the words, he patted the table heavily,

"My dear friends, don't you have anyone who is willing to sacrifice their lives for the Tang Dynasty? When you tried to persuade me in front of me, which one of you didn't have the determination to die?"

The audience was silent, Li Shimin was extremely embarrassed, but he continued,

"Today, I will find out a loyal minister from among you! If not, you will all go home to take care of yourselves. I don't want to keep a group of people with different opinions by my side."

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers talked a lot, and all of them looked like bitter gourds.

Everyone finally entered the imperial court, how could they be willing to die?

What's more, as long as someone has a little brain and understands Lin Yu's intentions, who would be idle and looking for death.

But Li Shimin said that as long as one is pushed out, they can continue to be high officials.

Otherwise, there is no joke.

"Guo Shangshu seems to be extremely loyal, why don't you go?"

"I... I'm afraid I can't."

"Then you are disloyal to the emperor and Tang Dynasty?"

"Fart, I just hope that I can use my flaming brilliance to make more contributions to Datang. Hey, Mr. Liu said bluntly a few days ago that it is okay to die for the sake of persuasion. Why don't you go?"

"I won't go. It's not that I want to persuade you. If I die, what's the matter?"

"Master Wei..."

"roll!"

……

In the end, Li Shimin couldn't bear the disturbance, so he patted the table again,

"Have you thought about it? Who will come out?"

Everyone fell silent immediately.

"Since there are none, Brother Yu, you choose!"

When everyone heard this, they panicked.

Everyone was recalling what kind of enmity and resentment they had with Lin Yu, for fear that they would be picked away.

A playful smile appeared on Lin Yu's face. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted,

"Guo Jia!"

After Guo Jia heard this, his heart was clenched into a ball, and then someone shouted one after another,

"Guo Jia can"

"That's right, it's absolutely fine to let Guo Jia go."

"Master Guo is a rare loyal minister."

"With him sacrificing the flag, Lin Yu's army will surely be able to win the battle and wipe out the Turkic army."

……

The ministers talked again in a hurry.

Guo Jia was so frightened that he couldn't stop scolding these people for adding insult to injury. He had echoed his words just now, but now he actually pointed the finger at him.

"You, how can you do this?"

Then, already confused, he turned his eyes to Wei Zheng for help,

"Master Wei, save me!"

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng stared at the ground and said with a stiff face,

"Ahem, Guo Shangshu has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but he can give it a try. I think he will surely be famous in history in the future."

Guo Jia was dumbfounded for a moment.

"I'm going to leave your horse's name in history, Wei Zheng, I'm messing with you anyway, you just pushed me into the fire pit like this! I hate it!"

But no matter how he yelled, Er Leng and Su Lie dragged him out with Lin Yu's order, and after a while, there was no sound.

After a while, Er Leng walked in carrying Guo Jia's bloody head and showed it to everyone.

Guo Jia, who was still alive just now, turned into a corpse with his head still held by others.

All the ministers with poor psychological endurance vomited on the spot, and those who behaved a little better had pale faces and chattering teeth.
