Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3124 Admonishing the Emperor
The aristocratic family's desire and greed for profit seriously restricted the unification of imperial power.However, all parties constrained and colluded with each other, even if the talents were as rough as His Majesty Li Er, they had to compromise.

It seems that hundreds of thousands of troops are rampant in Liaodong, but His Majesty Li Er knows that once his decision is not conducive to the interests of those powerful families, there will be instant resistance among the army, which will lead to instability and a sharp drop in morale.

The catastrophe of the powerful family can be seen, and it has made His Majesty Li Er more determined to suppress the powerful.

But that is always a matter for the future, at least for now, he can only compromise...

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, nodded his head slightly, and said to Li Ji: "Mao Gong is safe and thoughtful, just follow your opinion."

Li Ji naturally knew what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, so he said softly: "If you want to take it, you must give it first. This is the most reasonable thing in the world. This Eastern Expedition is naturally a time for the families to grab merit, but it is also the time for your Majesty A chance to show magnanimity. No matter how greedy they are, no one is a fool. Everyone understands that since then, His Majesty has done his best. If he wants to hinder His Majesty's unification of imperial power, they have to weigh whether the consequences can be tolerated. Wait until With the end of the Eastern Expedition and the division of meritorious families, most of the elites will be satisfied. A few people who want nothing but want to disturb the wind and rain, but no one will die with them. Your Majesty can easily free up his hands and gather power one by one."

In a word, you have to bear with it.

The aristocratic families all believe that this is the best opportunity to obtain meritorious service in the next hundred years, and they are pointing at this battle to obtain meritorious service and be promoted to rank, so as to pass it on to their descendants. If you cut off everyone's opportunity to obtain meritorious service, how can you Do you feel resentful?

At that time, everyone will have their own thoughts, and if the morale of the army is unstable, it will be very bad.

Everyone knows that after this battle, His Majesty will inevitably suppress the family members, and everyone is mentally prepared, whether voluntarily or forced, they will always take a step back.At that time, if you win over another group and attack another group, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

There is absolutely no need to be furious at this time, and take those gatekeepers to the knife.

After all, the victory of the Eastern Expedition is the most important thing...

His Majesty Li Er still trusts Li Ji very much. Except for this guy who "plays dead" from time to time, he can do everything well. He can be arrested in both military and internal affairs. He can be regarded as a famous minister in the world.

He didn't intend to go to war in the army at first, but he was a little angry. Now that he listened to Li Ji's consolation, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

The Ninth Five-Year Honor, naturally cannot be swayed by emotions, and should focus on the overall situation.

What's the big picture right now?

Naturally, it is the Eastern Expedition, not only to ensure the victory of the Eastern Expedition, so that his personal prestige can reach the peak, but also to overthrow Goguryeo as soon as possible, so that he can return to the court with Tu Banshi to ensure the stability of Guanzhong.

Whether it is Goguryeo that cannot be attacked, or Tuyuhun's invasion of Guanzhong, this is a reality that he absolutely cannot accept...

Immediately nodded and said: "I know the seriousness, Maogong must rectify the army as soon as possible, and go south quickly. The situation in Guanzhong is critical. Although Fang Jun led the army out of Hexi, but there are few soldiers and the situation is unfavorable. If the entire army is wiped out, Guanzhong will be in danger. .”

Li Ji nodded and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have ordered all the ministries to rectify. At the latest in the morning of the next day, I can go south to attack the city along the Yalu River, snatch the ferry, and cross the south. It's just..."

He hesitated.

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Although you and I belong to the monarch and ministers, we are really in love with each other. In such private occasions, you can speak frankly what you have, and there is no need to be taboo."

Li Ji gritted his teeth, got up and left his seat, then knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive me for being bold and admonishing Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the poison of danmercury has become more and more obvious now. Taoist famous masters have confirmed this one after another. Long-term food can hurt the body, and the accumulated evils are hard to recover! Your Majesty is the master of the world, and you belong to all people. Please cherish your body, don’t continue to take such medicines, and take the country and the country as the most important!"

Throughout the ages, cultivating longevity has been the way that emperors most admire and yearn for. After all, they have already mastered the supreme rights in the world. Who would not want to continue for thousands of years?
Therefore, it is really thankless to persuade the emperor to give up the way of cultivating immortals.

If you meet a foolish emperor, you will even think that the minister deliberately made him unable to cultivate into a fairy, unable to live forever, and it would not be too much to kill someone in a fit of anger...

It's just that in recent years, some people have gradually found that mercury is highly toxic, and it will not be obvious if it is taken in a short period of time, but if it is taken for a long time, the toxin will penetrate deep into the internal organs, and it is difficult to cure.

But it's just speculation, and there is no evidence to show it.

So believe it or not, it's all up to you...

His Majesty Li Er's hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, then with a gloomy expression, he put down the teacup slowly, and stared fiercely at Li Ji with bloodshot eyes.

Li Ji knelt on one knee, not daring to raise his head.

His Majesty Li Er is certainly not a tyrannical king like Jie and Zhou, but he is decisive and resolute in killing, and he will never allow his subjects to challenge his authority.

Is taking danmercury a dead end?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is simply scolding the emperor for "faint and incompetent, unable to distinguish between good and evil"!
After a long while, His Majesty Li Er asked slowly: "Who told you that I take things like elixir?"

Li Ji secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, no one has mentioned this matter to this official, it's just my random guess."

"Humph!"

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you know what crime it is to speculate on the king's heart?"

Li Ji said: "I know my crime."

In fact, there is no crime of "guessing the king's heart" in "The Law of Zhenguan", so how can we say that we are guilty?However, throughout the ages, as the supreme being in the world, the emperor has always been the supreme existence, and he has involved countless interests. Whoever tries to figure out the emperor's mind will have the heart of disobedience.

At the very least, they want to cater to and take advantage of the emperor... This is what the emperor hates the most.

Just imagine, as the supreme being in the world, the courtiers guessed his thoughts clearly, and every word and deed fell into the eyes of the courtiers, and even started all kinds of calculations, making the emperor like a fool being used by the courtiers. What humiliation?

No matter how big an emperor is, he can't stand this.

Just when Li Ji was worried, thinking that although His Majesty Li Er would not be beheaded, but he would not escape punishment, he heard His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice: "Don't mention this matter here, no matter what I do In front of you or behind you... Your duty is to assist me in commanding and dispatching the army to attack Goguryeo. Alright, let’s get out of here.”

"Here."

Without hesitation, Li Ji got up and took three steps back, then turned around and walked out of the Chinese military tent.

If Wei Zheng were here instead, His Majesty Li Er must make a promise that no matter whether he took food before or not, he must prohibit it in the future.

Li Ji is naturally not such a staunch and upright personality.

In his opinion, since he has already entered the admonition, it means that the matter of taking Dan Mercury is no longer a secret, at least the opinions of the important court officials have been known to each other.That being the case, as smart and decisive as His Majesty Li Er, he should naturally understand what consequences will be brought about once this matter rages on endlessly.

As long as His Majesty Li Er has a bit of tenacity, he will definitely put an end to Dan mercury and stop taking it.

Such a means of admonishment by ministers, why must he be so hasty and unrelenting like Wei Zheng?
If it were a foolish king who killed Wei Zheng with a single blow, his own mistakes might not necessarily be corrected; a wise king like His Majesty Li Er only needs to click on it, and he will naturally understand how to choose.

We are all smart people, so it is natural to be tactful in everything you say and do. There is no need to tear your face and make everyone uncomfortable...

*****
Ping Rang City.

Changsun Chong, dressed in armor, rode on a horse, watching the rolling water rushing endlessly, boats connected on the river, Ping Rang City on the bank was prosperous and prosperous, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians and merchants.

Although it is not as majestic and steep as the majestic city of the Central Plains, it is also worthy of the praise of the first city in Liaodong.

Boy Yuan was also dressed in military uniform, and accompanied Changsun Huan, pointing the horsewhip in his hand at the foothills to the northeast of Pingrang City, and said with a smile: "Anhe Palace is at the south foot of Dacheng Mountain, Young Master Changsun has the trust of his father, It is really gratifying to be entrusted with the duties of guarding Anhe Palace and guarding Pingrang City."

The corner of Changsun Chong's mouth twitched, forcing a smile.

motherfucker!

Lao Tzu just wanted to lurk in Ping Rang City, in order to gain the trust of Yuan Gai Su Wen, and steal the military plane to inform Datang.
It's as disgusting as eating flies...

He waved the rein and said: "Let's go, it's the first day of humble appointment, it's better not to be late!"

After saying that, as soon as the horse's belly was clamped, the war horse under the crotch galloped forward.

Boy Yuan also followed closely behind, leading a group of soldiers from Da Mo Lizhi's mansion, and headed straight for Anhe Palace on the mountainside.
