Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"These adults still have demands in their hearts that have not been fulfilled, so they are placed in the corridor. After they wake up, they will continue to come back and kneel."

At this time, Zheng Guangcai nodded behind Li Qiu, and those forbidden soldiers finally moved.

Undoubtedly, after hearing Li Qiu's words, the ministers even drew curses, saying that he was devoid of conscience and inhuman.

Perhaps no one had noticed that Xiao Yu, who had been lying on the cold ground, pretending to faint, almost "lived" because of Li Qiu's words.

A pair of old hands trembled uncontrollably.

……

At the time when their side was extremely chaotic, many mansions in Chang'an City also had different reactions.

In Wei Wang Li Tai's residence, when the officials went to kneel at the gate of the Taiji Hall to ask for orders this morning, a counselor suggested that they want him to go together to shorten the distance with the officials.

But this Li Tai, because he is favored on weekdays, eats a lot.

At 16 he weighed [-].

On weekdays, even walking to court, I feel extremely tired.

Now you let him run and kneel on the stone steps at the entrance of Tai Chi Hall?

He is not going!

At this time, he had just finished his sumptuous dinner and was eating fresh fruit. He listened to the latest cutting-edge news reports, and said happily to the counselors beside him:

"Look, I didn't listen to you this morning, did I?"

"At that time, you also said that His Majesty would not let so many officials kneel in front of the gate of the Taiji Hall."

"You also said that there are no people in these three provinces and six departments. The harm is so great. Father will definitely compromise."

"But take a look, it's already dark now, and nothing has happened yet."

"If I really listened to you this morning, under the cold winter wind?"

"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid I have to spend my life there!"

In the mansion of King Wu Li Ke, when he heard the news from the front that Mr. Xiao Yu was weak, he couldn't help tossing and fell in front of the Tai Chi Hall, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and showed his veins!

After what happened today, he originally planned to go together.

But Xiao Yu stopped him.

Said that he just angered His Majesty and Empress, but as a prince, he is weak and easy to be used by others as a scapegoat.

So it's better to stay in the mansion quietly and keep a low profile.

As Xiao Yu said, Li Ke today is far from what he used to be.

After losing the two prime ministers, Pei Ji and Feng Deyi, Zhuchen, there is only Xiao Yu, an old minister who is the leader of the trip, left by his side.

If Xiao Yu passed away again, the situation he faced would be even more critical.

"This Li Qiu!"

"Don't let me take the chance."

"Otherwise, I will never forgive you lightly!"

In the East Palace, Prince Li Chengqian was lying on the desk distraught.

Beside him, Zhang Xuansu was nagging, talking about Confucian classics, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Speaking of the big right and wrong like now, as the prince, he should stand with the officials and ask his majesty to kill Fan Xing.

However, the deceased Li Gang had warned him many times about such things.

He is the prince of His Majesty, the prince of Li Tang Jiangshan, not the prince of Confucianism, let alone the prince of the nobles and powerful officials.

And in the last incident where Li Qiu was severely punished, he suffered such a loss.

Persuaded by people around him, he came forward to endorse the ministers, but was reprimanded by his father.

They even said the heavy words "If the ministers asked me to abolish you, the prince, then should I obey?"

So right now, Li Chengqian is not stupid, and he never wants to make the same mistakes again.

And the most important point is Li Chengqian's leg disease.

Now it's easy to give birth and give birth, and it all happens from time to time.

If this went to the Taiji Hall to toss for a day, it would be serious and relapse.

But Zhang Xuansu insisted on adhering to the idea of cultivating Li Chengqian into a model emperor in the book, and kept nagging and admonishing him all day long.

Until the end, Li Chengqian was finally annoyed, and he scolded, "I won't go to the Tai Chi Hall!"

"If the teacher wants to go, just go by yourself!"

"Come here, take the teacher back home! I'm going to rest!"

In the palace, Li Shimin in the imperial study also did not eat lunch or dinner.

It was all caused by the officials outside.

Seeing such a thing happen, Empress Changsun also came here in person, concerned about her husband's health.

Reassure him not to skip meals because of state affairs, and then damage his health.

At this moment, someone came in to report that in front of the Taiji Hall, Li Qiu, King of Peking, was having a verbal battle with his officials.

Xiao Yu and the other two elders, who were old and weak, fainted...

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were shocked at the same time!

Chapter 327

What?Passed out? !So how is Xiao Yu doing now, has the imperial doctor gone? "

"What? Is it the Tai Chi Hall where Li Qiu went?!"

Regarding this news, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun had very different reactions.

At this time, the eunuch who reported the incident bowed and said: "Go back to Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

"After Xiao Yu and the other three adults fainted, Li Qiu, the Minister of War, ordered people to carry Xiao Yu and the other three veterans to the corridor."

"The imperial doctor has also been sent over."

"However, according to Li Qiu's intention, after the three of Xiao Yu wake up, they will go back and kneel..."

Listening to his words, Li Shimin's head hurts a little.

"Go back and kneel?"

"He, Li Qiu, is so courageous!"

"The Xiao Yus are all in their fifties and sixties, and he is not afraid that they will really die in front of the Tai Chi Hall!"

"Also, didn't I let Changsun Wuji go with me?"

"Then where is he now, didn't he say to send Xiao Yu back to the mansion first?!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the eldest grandson has been hiding in the dark, not far away."

"I heard that this was specifically requested by the King of Peking."

Hearing this, Li Shimin sighed deeply.

Right now, he can't show his face no matter what, otherwise those officials will make more troubles if they make more progress.

So he could only continue to wait and see, leaving this matter to Zhangsun Wuji and Li Qiu in front of him.

After the eunuch retreated, Empress Changsun, who had been frowning tightly, finally asked gently: "Your Majesty, how did you and I agree?"

"Just let Qiu'er be safe, healthy, and live happily through this life."

"But over the past year, Li Qiu has taken huge risks and fought two big battles with the Turks."

"At the same time, I have to eat and sleep in the open. The remote thirteen states have accepted 10,000+ refugees."

"Now, his family has returned to Chang'an with great difficulty. Why did you involve him in such a dispute?"

Seeing his wife's dissatisfaction, Li Shimin secretly complained in his heart.

"Oh, queen, you don't know."

"Didn't I just jokingly ask Fang Xuanling to teach Li Qiu calligraphy?"

"Then add Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others love talents, so they used this excuse to call him into the palace."

"But who would have thought, how could Li Qiu get involved in this matter?"

Listening to his words, Empress Changsun sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing are the most careful and prudent in court."

"People like Qiu'er who don't adapt to the DPRK-China system and don't usually like to follow the rules."

"If there were no other reasons and His Majesty's acquiescence, how could the two of them bring Li Qiu into the imperial city for no reason?"

"And he also got such an important position as the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

In the middle of saying this, Empress Changsun paused for a moment, then sighed, and stopped talking.

Now that the deal is done, she is unwilling to continue to trouble Li Shimin.

Seeing the queen like this, Li Shimin felt very sorry, so he briefly told the story of Fan Xing.

He also promised that after this incident, he would never let Li Qiu go into danger again.

……

On the other side, after Xiao Yu and the others were carried down, the scene finally returned to tranquility.

Li Qiu continued to sit and warm the fire, and those officials continued to return to kneel.

Originally, they had been kneeling (really sitting paralyzed) there, and they didn't feel anything.

But after getting up and doing some activities just now, why did I feel that my knees and legs were so painful.

What's more, the ground that was already warm has become cold again.

It made them feel uncomfortable, and even a little envious of Xiao Yu and the other three who had the right to faint.

At this time, Li Qiu sighed lightly and stood up.

"Oh, it's too bad, I don't think it will be enough for you if this goes on."

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but feel happy. Could it be that this annoying and humble merchant is finally going to leave, and is His Majesty or the other prime ministers finally coming?

However, they completely miscalculated their wishful thinking.

Li Qiu frowned, and said flatly, "Oh, I just remembered that at this time, I haven't even had dinner yet."

"Very hungry."

"Come here, go and ask Guanglu Temple to get me a hot pot."

"No vegetables, just lamb!"

"A few more plates!"

"Tell them to go faster, I'm going to starve to death!"

Listening to his words, the group of ministers snorted and mocked secretly:

This humble merchant is really looking for death!

Do you think this is your yard?

This is the palace!In front of the Tai Chi Hall!

In such a solemn place, how dare you eat here, shabu-shabu?
