Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 185

At this moment, both the first and second senior brothers felt aggrieved by their father.What the teacher said was indeed true. This emperor is really not a human being.

They couldn't help shouting in their hearts, father, order them to be killed!Now that we have money and people, we can fight for ten or twenty years with an army of one million.Afraid of him being a bird?
However, they don't know that with their temperament, they are not made to be emperors.

"Ha ha……"

Li Er suddenly sneered and said: "It's the same old thing again, is it interesting? You old bastards are really shameless. You have been suppressing me and ruining my reputation, but you keep saying that you support me.

Isn't it just locusts?I made a decree to call on the common people to catch them and eat them.There are so many people in my Tang Dynasty, it is just a matter of eating a few for one person.How big can it be? "

Well, above the court, most of the officials nodded their heads.As long as the people are obedient, one or two people will be dispatched from the family, and one person will grab three to five catties and take it back to eat.It's really not difficult to solve this matter.

But Cheng Chuli's eyes widened suddenly.

These old guys are right. It seems that Li Er has never dealt with locust plagues.

Sure enough, Cui Heng laughed again.

"Li Erlang, Li Erlang, you are really naive. If it can be solved so easily, then it will not be called a disaster.

The old man reminds you again, the plague of locusts is because the emperor has no virtue, and the gods deliberately sent down disasters to punish the emperor, so they cannot be eaten.People will die, you understand? "

WTF?Locusts can't eat?

What are you kidding?Who hasn't eaten locusts as a child?That thing, caught and roasted over fire, tastes really delicious.It will be even more delicious if fried.

Now these old guys are actually telling them that locusts can't be eaten.Isn't this tricking them into being three-year-olds?

A disaster intentionally sent down by God?So can't eat?Isn't this bullshit?
This kind of mysterious and mysterious thing is okay to deceive those ignorant people.What kind of joke are you using to deceive people like them who are well-educated?
On the court.Not only the ministers thought so, even Li Er thought so too.

At this moment, Cheng Chuli really wanted to stand up and remind Li Er, but after thinking about it, he gave up.At this time, he has no part to speak at all.

These old guys had a fight with the emperor, which could kill them at any time.Unless he is stupid, he will move up.

Li Er laughed, these old guys, it's ridiculous to say these words.

"Elders, it's meaningless to say such things in front of people with discerning eyes. I said before in front of civil and military officials that my fate is up to me. In the face of disasters, I will only find ways to solve them, and I will never believe them. Things that pray to gods and worship Buddha." Li Er said.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The elders also laughed, very smugly, and all of them looked like fools.This is a sense of superiority crushed by knowledge.

"Li Erlang, since you said that, then this old man has no choice but to stop you from making mistakes. The population of our people in Tang Dynasty is not large. If you let you do this, you will kill a lot of people. Then you, the emperor, will There is really no atonement for death.”

These old guys are really shameless, full of benevolence and morality.What is thinking in his heart, but Li Er's heart is like a mirror.

Li Er asked coldly: "Are you going to stop me from fighting the disaster?"

Cui Heng said: "No no no. We want to prevent you from making mistakes. Let's do this! Since you don't believe us, how about we make a bet?"

Li Er asked: "What are you betting on? How do you bet?"

Cui Heng said: "In order to prevent this tragedy from happening, let's randomly select a hundred or so people to come out, and then, as you said, we will catch some locusts and feed them.

At that time, we will witness together.If they're fine with it, it'll prove us wrong.We not only take back what we said before, but also kowtow to His Majesty in public to admit our mistakes.We twenty old men are still at your disposal, and we have no complaints.

But if something happened to them after eating the locusts, they were poisoned or died.That proves that what we said before that the emperor has no virtue is true.At that time, please let the virtuous emperor abdicate and let the prince ascend the throne.How about it? "

What the hell?
Are these old men crazy?
In the court hall, all the officials were dumbfounded.I don't understand why these old men do this at all?
Even the officials of those aristocratic families were anxious, but none of them dared to go up to dissuade them.They knew that if they went up to talk at this moment, they would definitely be beaten down by these old men with crutches.

Li Er asked Cui Heng in surprise: "Old Cui, are you sure? Or can your words represent the other nineteen elders?"

Cui Heng turned his head to look at the other old men.

An elder of the Lu family stood up and pretended to say: "Hey, for the lives of thousands of people, we old bones, let's die! Li Erlang, I'm sure, if you don't believe me, we can sign an agreement .”

Li Er frowned and asked, "I will choose the people who eat locusts? Will I also catch the locusts they eat?"

These bad old men.What the hell are you doing?They also dare to bet on this kind of thing, are they taking their lives for a long time?
When the time comes, he, Li Er, will not be relentless.These old guys completely angered Li Er today.

Li Er was muttering in his heart, these old guys.Could it be that they wanted to do something about it, poison him or something?
The Lu family elder nodded and said: "Yes, you choose the people, and you catch the locusts. And how do you cook them? As long as they eat, we can go to the scene to witness together."

"it is good."

Without even thinking about it, Li Er opened his mouth and agreed.Then he said loudly to Wang De: "Wang De, write the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Sign the agreement."

At this moment, Li Er's eyes were full of killing intent.

These old guys, just now he wanted to order one of them to be pushed out and chopped up.When he wins and has a reason, will Li Er be polite?
At the same time, the hearts of the officials in the main hall also tugged.Some were worried about these elders, and some were worried about Li Er. Anyway, they had everything on their minds.

And Cheng Chuli felt relieved seeing Li Er's decisive agreement.As an emperor, since Li Er dared to agree so resolutely, he must have known it in his heart.Since he knew it well, he didn't have to worry about him.

In fact, how did Cheng Chuli know that this time he had a high opinion of Li Er.This time, Li Er really fell into the pit set by these old guys.

In fact, the current Cheng Chuli didn't think so much, he just wanted to go to court quickly.He could go back and protect his crops.If it weren't for the current situation in the hall that made him unable to speak, he would have taken the initiative to ask Li Er to resign.

Seeing that Li Er signed the agreement with the twenty elders, Li Chengqian was undoubtedly the happiest person in the hall.

In this matter, he is the biggest beneficiary.If he wins, he will be justified, and he will be enthroned as emperor logically; if he loses, it will not do him much harm to Li Chengqian.

Now, he is waiting for the locust plague to come quickly.It's best to finish this bet as soon as possible.

Although he doesn't think these old men can win.However, these old men are fighting with their lives, look at their confident appearance.Li Chengqian's heart stabilized.

After signing the contract, those old men couldn't help laughing.Although it wasn't the kind of laughing and getting carried away, it could be seen that they were very happy.

Can you be unhappy?Although Cheng Chuli couldn't be killed today, it was the best result for them to pull Li Shimin down.

Li Er looked at them and said with a smile: "Elders, don't be too happy. This agreement must be signed by your patriarch and the person in charge. Otherwise, you will lose when the time comes, and they will take you old things Expelled from the family, come to abandon the car to protect the handsome. That would be too disgusting."

Yes, if these old things were really kicked out of the family, they would be really old men.What's the use of Li Er winning them?

Li Er thought that 2 these people would argue with him for a while!Unexpectedly, these Patriarchs did not say a word, picked up a pen and decisively signed their names on the agreement one by one.

Seeing this situation, Li Er couldn't help frowning.Why are these guys so easy to talk to? Do they really have the confidence to win against themselves?

What a hell.

After the owners and persons in charge signed their names one by one.

Cui Heng suddenly looked at Li Chengqian, and said without any scruples: "Prince, I would like to congratulate you first. In these two days, you should go back and prepare for your enthronement! When you become emperor, don't forget that you and The promise of our family."

"Eh? This, hehe, hehe..."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say with a bitter look on his face.The excitement was gone.

This bad old man is too poisonous.I don't know if this can be enthroned!Isn't this forcing his father to deal with him?
If we do this, if we don't succeed by then.It is estimated that his position as the crown prince will be difficult to secure.

Yes, Cui Heng did it on purpose.Although this time the bet is sure to win.However, it can create gaps between father and son, and even fight to the death.That would be even more beautiful.

Sure enough, Li Shimin gave Li Chengqian a meaningful look.Li Chengqian was so frightened that his heart was pounding.

Yes, Li Er was very disappointed.Is this prince so impatient?He wanted to imitate him and force him to abdicate.

But it's okay.It would be nice if there were no brothers fighting each other.

When Li Er was thinking about it, Cui Heng said again: "Li Erlang, you should also prepare for the next two days, and do the work of abdicating in advance! Don't make the enthronement ceremony a joke because of the rush of time, then It's a shame. At that time, there will be many envoys from other countries participating.

But don't just ignore everything just because you're down.Anyway, you are also a member of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty.Such a thing cannot be done. "

The muscles on Li Er's face twitched. These old guys thought that if they didn't speak, they would step on him and Li Shimin to elevate themselves.

Today, his emperor's face was pressed and rubbed on the ground by these old guys.

Because he, Li Er, was too disobedient today, these old guys turned the tables on him.As a result, either you die or I die, there is no other possibility.

It is probably because of this that these old guys dare to be so crazy.

All right!That being the case, let you old guys have one final madness!I will bear with you one last time.

Li Er replied coldly: "I don't need you to teach me how to do things. You, you should take care of yourself first! If you accidentally let me win, when the time comes, see if you still dare to talk to me like this?"

Thinking that two days later when the locusts came, it would be the day when Li Shimin completely turned around.Li Er didn't bother to get angry with them anymore.

In fact, according to his original plan of Li Er, it is impossible for him to hold back today.However, man is not as good as God, and a sudden locust plague completely disrupted his plan.

This sudden locust plague can be regarded as temporarily easing the tense situation with the sword.

In this gamble, he and Li Er are only allowed to win, not to lose.If he really lost, he, Li Er, really wanted to abdicate.

The locusts really ate people to death, and when the time comes, their aristocratic family will publicize it.He, Li Er, was confirmed as the emperor who was condemned by heaven with poor character and lack of talent and virtue.

An emperor who can't bear even the sky, who else will support him?Under normal circumstances, even Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin had to stay far away from him and Li Er.

With money and soldiers in hand, he will not abdicate with a stern face?
Come on!At that time, if Li Er really dared to do this, he would definitely be tied up and thrown into the cold palace to fend for himself.

The emperor, especially the emperor of this era, really can't do whatever he wants.

I thought that if I had money, I could stand up and be a real emperor.

Unexpectedly, the means of these aristocratic families are so endless.He knew clearly that he had more than 4000 million yuan in Li's second hand, and he had the strength to overthrow their family.There is still no intention of softening at all.

Cui Heng sneered and said, "Li Erlang, don't be naive. This old man told you that you have no chance of winning. This old man dares to swear to God that what we just said is true. Because the emperor has no morals, he was punished by God. Locusts are really too bad to eat!
As an emperor, if you still have a little kindness, you can pity the lives of those one hundred people.Abdicate yourself!Don't ruin your reputation at that time, and be kicked out in a disheartened manner.That would be too bad.That's all for now!Your Majesty, we will take our leave first. "

The one hundred people he mentioned were naturally chosen by them to eat locusts.

After Cui Heng finished speaking, he turned his head decisively, and left the Tai Chi Hall with the crowd in a hurry.

Looking at their backs, Cui Heng's words were still in his ears.Li Er's heart panicked inexplicably.

How can this be?

Li Eryi patted the table and said: "My dear friends, this is the end of today, rest the court. Cheng Yaojin, Li Jingwei, Chigong Qin Shubao, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng's grandson Wuji stay, and everyone else should step down!"

The civil and military officials had long been mentally prepared, and hurriedly saluted, and then withdrew from the Tai Chi Hall.

Cheng Chuli tried his best to think about it, and finally asked: "Eldest senior brother and second senior brother, the emperor didn't tell me to stay just now, did he?"

Li Ke nodded and said, "Probably not."

Li You said, "Definitely not."

"All right!"

Cheng Chuli said helplessly: "In that case, let's hurry back to Cheng's Village."
