Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 180 Angry, dare to play the emperor for a fool

why is that?Is the emperor stupid?

It's not logical, it's so irrational.

At this time, in the entire court, except Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng, these few insiders.

The rest of the officials, counting one by one, were all confused by Li Er's reaction.

Seeing that they were silent, Li Er said, "Is there any evidence? If not, just based on your one-sided words and empty words, I will order you to kill the two princes and the three clans. Then I have really become a foolish king through the ages?"

Why, does he still say such things?What the hell is going on here?The heads of all the ministers are buzzing.

Evidence, where do we go for evidence?
At that time, all the patriarchs took millions of coins and sent them to Cheng Chuli at the Good Brothers Restaurant with great fanfare.Who doesn't know about this?

Yesterday, after the matter was completed, they brought it to the fore again, and there are probably no people in the entire Chang'an City who didn't know about it.

This is already an iron-clad fact, what evidence is needed?
However, what the emperor said seems to make sense.Based on their one-sided words, if he is really like this, he will order Cheng Chuli to be executed.If there is any problem after that, it will really become a fool.

No, that's definitely not the point.

It was impossible for Cheng Chuli to be trusted by the emperor so much that he would be indifferent to the temptation of tens of millions of dollars.

This is so bullshit.

If it's not that the emperor's head is broken, it's that he hasn't recalled it.

It seems that we have to make it clear.Who let them follow such a stupid emperor?

A spokesperson came out and said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Chuli has collected tens of millions of money from all the masters. This is an iron fact. As long as the Emperor sends someone to Chengjia Village to look for it, he will definitely be able to get this money back." Find out the stolen money. At that time, everything will be revealed.

Your Majesty, this is gold worth more than 4000 million guan!It was impossible for Cheng Chuli to hide such a huge sum of money.As long as your majesty makes an order, the matter will come to light and the truth will be revealed. "

What the official said later was a naked reminder and temptation.

After the words fell, everyone stared at Li Er with piercing eyes.However, Li Er still didn't show the slightest expression of being seduced.

My God, is this emperor really so stupid?

An official had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, go ransack the house! This is true, and it is a fact that almost everyone in Chang'an knows. As long as you order to ransack the house, you can get more than 4000 million yuan." Dirty money!"

"hey-hey……"

Those officials all sneered in their hearts.

Now, are you tempted?See how you can stand it.

Just when they thought that the emperor would order excitedly to raid the house in the next moment.

Li Er slapped the table and made a bang to express his anger.

"I'll give you one more chance to tell me the truth, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"what?"

This time, the officials of the top ten families were even more confused.You look at me, I look at you.

Li Er, what does this mean?
Li Er said angrily: "Aren't you going to tell the truth? Then don't blame me."

The speaker surnamed Lu said incomprehensibly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Li Er stared at him and shouted angrily: "Bastard. Do you think I'm a fool? I ask you, is it possible that your patriarchs will spend 4000 million yuan to buy those officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
To put it bluntly, even if all the officials of your ten families add up, they are not worth 1000 million.Are the heads of their ten Patriarchs all broken together?Will you give 4000 million yuan to Cheng Chuli?Are you telling me this, are you fooling me by treating me like a foolish king with no brains?Still forcing me to rob the house?Am I that stupid? "

Forehead?
At this moment, all the officials, one counts as the other, were all in a daze.Including Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin.

It turned out that the problem was here, no wonder they were fooling around, Li Er just didn't care about them.

Li Er's words left all the officials speechless.

That's right, even the three insiders, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin, don't know exactly how much money Cheng Chuli got?Anyway, they didn't believe that Cheng Chuli could get so much money.

Just because the officials they rescued were far from reaching this value.Even if all the officials are reinstated, the maximum is seventy-eight million yuan, which is as high as the sky.

As long as those Patriarchs are not collectively stupid, it is impossible to give so much money.

To put it bluntly, if they ran over to discuss with Li Er at that time, they would give 800 million guan.Li Er would definitely agree to their request immediately.

You know, Li Er wanted to fight the Turks at the beginning, so he asked those patriarchs, and in the end he offered several positions as assassins, and the money he asked for was not enough for 100 million guan.

In this way, those families also publicized everywhere that they donated money to fight the Turks.It can be said that it is cheap and also has a good reputation.

Now, come and tell me, those patriarchs will give tens of millions of dollars to Cheng Chuli?
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, do you believe it yourself when you say this?

That's right, after Li Er said this, the officials themselves were also suspicious.

This matter spread to the whole city, and they took it as a fact and believed it.

When those Patriarchs gathered them together to tell them about this matter, they believed even more out of their trust in those Patriarchs.

But now, when Li Er put it on the table, they realized that if they believed it, they would look like fools.

In fact, it is impossible to believe anyone who has not done this in person.

The spokesman surnamed Lu who was the first to speak out about this matter said at this moment with little confidence: "Your Majesty, maybe it is a little exaggerated to say that there are more than 4000 million yuan. But, if you take ten thousand steps back, even if there is a Tens of millions, that is definitely a major case that cannot be ignored, it is worth sending people to search, right? What if the money is really found?"

"bump."

"In case of a fart."

Li Eryi slapped the table and said angrily: "You officials, you are chasing the wind and shadows all day long, and when you see the wind, it is rain. If you bring such a nonsense matter to the court and tell it, you dare to trick me into ordering to search the two princes." Are you really fooling me by treating me like a fool? You treacherous ministers have been thinking of deceiving me all day to kill Zhongliang. Lu Yushi, are you guilty?"

"what?"

Lu Yushi was taken aback, he quickly plopped down on the ground, and said nervously: "Your Majesty, this matter is well known and true. I also went to find the heads of the family and the elders in person, and only came to the performance after getting their confirmation of.

If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to inform all the patriarchs to come to the palace to explain clearly in person.All the Patriarchs and Elders are highly respected, and they have always kept their promises and their reputations.What you say is absolutely believable. "

Li Er said: "Absolutely credible? They gave Cheng Chuli more than 4000 million yuan, isn't that what they said? Do you think this is absolutely credible? Or do you think I am a fool? Lu Yushi, today, If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, you will never get away with the crime of deceiving the emperor. And you, if you play tricks on me together, you will never let me go lightly."

what?
The crime of bullying the king?

Together to play the emperor?
The more than 300 impeachment officials who stood up are all stupid at the moment.

As speech officials, they can stand up and impeach others.Even if he came out to find out the matter in the end, he couldn't hold them accountable.Because this is their job.

However, the emperor did not play cards according to common sense, and charged them with the crime of bullying the emperor.This is not good.

The scary thing is that what they said today has no logic or credibility. The "lie" can be broken with one poke.It's really a proper way to play the emperor.

not good.

At this moment, more than 300 officials all knelt down with a swipe.

"Your majesty, the ministers absolutely have no intention of playing tricks on the emperor, please learn from the emperor."

More than 300 officials were all sweating on their foreheads.Their patriarch told them to do so, and they did so.Never doubted the words of their Patriarch.

It was only now that they realized that a thing they thought was equal to the truth sounded so nonsense.

All the officials on Li Er's side, including Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, were dumbfounded at the moment.

Our Emperor, His Majesty, seems to be different!
As the saying goes, three people become tigers.All these more than 300 officials believed what they said.The main thing is that they knew this matter was true before, so they believed it preconceived.

But unexpectedly, His Majesty the emperor, with a few words, refuted a fact into a completely impossible thing.

I can't accept it!
Lu Yushi was sweating profusely, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, we believe the words of the patriarchs in this matter. Please allow the patriarchs to testify before the court. Clear our charges."

Li Er sneered: "Lu Yushi, do you think that if they say such a nonsense, I will believe it? Will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believe it?"

yes!No one can believe such nonsense.

Things, at this point, can be over.

Cheng Yaojin, who had been standing there as if asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

It's time for him, Cheng Yaojin, to make the move and let these officials give justice to his old Cheng family.

Just now.

However, Lu Yushi shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that the heads of the family should have evidence. It's just that they thought this matter was a certain fact at the time, so they didn't give me the evidence. I believe that, As long as they come, they will definitely be able to give the emperor an explanation. Please grant the emperor's permission."

yes!As long as the masters come over and stir up trouble, no matter what the result is?Even if they can't help them get rid of their guilt.It is impossible for the emperor to punish them.

After all, the matter was caused by them, the patriarchs, and they were the masterminds. If the emperor wanted to punish them, he had to punish them first.

These officials are at best thugs.No matter what, they will not be punished.

So, more than 300 officials shouted together: "Your Majesty, please allow the heads of the family to testify in the hall store."

From the chat between Li Er and Cheng Chuli yesterday, it can be seen that the people Li Er hates most are undoubtedly these censors.

He made up his mind today to repair these officials.

Li Er said: "Whether the heads of the families are allowed to testify in the palace is another matter. It is a fact that you are playing me as a fool today. Therefore, I must deal with you. Otherwise, as the emperor, as the lord of the world , what prestige is there? Come..."

Lu Yushi was in a hurry, interrupted Li Er's words, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, if the patriarchs come to the palace, can you produce evidence to prove that what we said is true?"

The more than 300 officials quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, we are loyal to Datang, please give us a chance to clarify."

Well, this Lu Yushi is quite witty, so there will be no such thing as them playing tricks on the emperor.

Although Li Er was very angry, but what he said was reasonable, he had to make concessions.He looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked: "Zhijie, they impeached you, how do you think I should handle this matter?"

Cheng Yaojin went out and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that it is okay to let the heads of the family come to the palace. However, these people are catching on the wind, hearing that the wind is rain, and without verification, they use such a ridiculous thing to falsely accuse my boss. The Cheng family is also true.

Therefore, if the Patriarchs are asked to come to the palace, they cannot give me a satisfactory explanation.Then, the minister demanded that they be punished severely.If they agree, Nachen can also agree to their request. "

The more than 300 officials kneeling on the ground suddenly cursed in their hearts: Bastard, this damn Cheng Yaojin, is he going to fight us?No, this is adding insult to injury, hateful, too hateful.

Li Er asked: "Zhijie, how severe are you talking about severe punishment?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "Their behavior is to deliberately frame Zhongliang, and it is still a vicious conspiracy to kill my old Cheng family. Naturally, the consequences of being exposed cannot be lightly punished. I request that the three leaders be beheaded. Others, Even if you don't die, you have to be demoted, and even a slap to the end is not an exaggeration."

When the more than 300 officials heard the words, they immediately cursed in their hearts: bastard, you Cheng Yaojin.You wait for me, wait for our Patriarch to come, if you don't kill you, I will take your surname.

Unexpectedly, Li Er said, "How can this be done..."

The more than 300 officials were a little moved when they heard the words.

But Changsun Wuji and other officials were very confused.

Especially Cheng Yaojin.These officials want to exterminate my three clans of the old Cheng family, and the punishment I proposed is so light, is this okay?

But I heard Li Er continue to say: "They not only framed Zhongliang, but also fooled me and the civil and military officials as fools. If they are not severely punished, will they not become more and more rampant in the future? Who else will Is the court in awe of me?"

"what?"

This reversal came too suddenly, right?It's overwhelming!

I just heard the emperor continue to say: "So, you can ask the heads of the family to go to the palace. However, if they still cannot be cleared of your crimes after they come to the palace. Then, I will double the punishment as Zhijie said. You can Dare to accept it?"
