The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 281 No Fear
Chapter 281 No Fear
Li Er's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He looked at the scholars below, resisting the urge to kill them and asked: "You are also regarded as highly respected masters, but what do you mean by this!?"

Hearing Li Er's words, these scholars stood up and snorted coldly at Li Er and said, "Hmph! Didn't you hear clearly!?"

"The old man says you are fatuous! You are not worthy to sit on this throne!"

But Li Er smiled lightly and said: "Heh! You are also considered great Confucians, have you even forgotten the teachings of Confucius!?"

"The ruler guides his ministers, and the father guides his sons. Haven't you heard of it!?"

"Hmph! You stupid king, how can you be called a king, and how can you be worthy of being worshiped by the old man!?" Master Zhao said impassionedly.

The masters around him even put their own life and death aside.

They all looked at Li Er meaninglessly, as if they wanted to scold Li Er while they were still alive,

The old eunuch next to Li Er immediately said in a high-pitched voice: "Boldly~~~ The Tai Chi Hall insults the Holy One! What crime should you deserve~~!"

However, Li Er did wink at the old eunuch, signaling him to back down.

Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Oh! Empty words have no basis, how can you say that I am a fool!"

In front of all civil and military officials, Li Er wanted to maintain his image of a tolerant and generous emperor, so now he could only endure the anger in his heart.

But Mr. Zhao snorted coldly and said: "Hmph! You are a foolish king, you murdered your brother to force your father to win the throne, and now you are even more greedy for pleasure and don't care about the life and death of the people!"

"It's no exaggeration to say you're a fool!"

However, Xu Maogong stood up and said to the scholars in front of him: "Why, based on this, it can be concluded that the Holy One is stupid!"

"Could it be that His Majesty brought the resentment in his heart to this dinner because he didn't distribute food for you!"

Cheng Yaojin even sat on his seat and quacked with a strange smile: "Quack quack! This group of scholars who know the books in their hands are like frogs at the bottom of a well!"

Yu Chigong also said in a low voice: "If you want me to say, these people are just stupid in reading!"

When the ministers present saw that Li Er was being bullied, they all spoke out to help each other. Mr. Zhao was so angry that he almost fainted directly.

He wanted to retaliate several times, but there were too many ministers present, and Mr. Zhao was helpless with every word you said.

Seeing this, Li Er hurriedly said, "Don't be rude!"

Master Zhao snorted coldly when he felt Li Er's gaze.

But Du Ruhui stood up and said: "Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne! The migrant workers who built the canal have been released! And money and food have been distributed!"

"When the Great Tang was in war, His Majesty would not hesitate to exchange the eldest princess' marriage for the peace of the people of the Great Tang!"

"Let the maids and eunuchs in the palace decide on their own whether to stay or not, and it is more benevolent and sympathetic to the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

But Mr. Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! My Shandong area has been repeatedly invaded by Goguryeo barbarians. Where is this stupid king!?"

"Bandits are rampant on the border of Shandong. Where is this stupid lord? When the people in Shandong are starved of food, where is this stupid lord!?"

Asked three times in a row, what he said was filled with righteous indignation.

On the other hand, Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Hmph! The Holy Majesty is the king of a country, so he naturally wants to take care of the overall situation. You are one of a kind, and you only know your own sorrows! But you don't know the sorrows of the people in the world!"

"If it wasn't for this stupid king, how could the people of Tang Dynasty be in war!? How could the people be displaced!?"

"Oh!"

Li Er was really too angry, he slapped the table and shouted: "Huh! Do you want me to be like the former Sui tyrant Yang Guang, recruit civilians to serve as troops, and send troops to Goguryeo again!?"

"Where were you when I led the troops to resist the Turks!? When I came to Liangzhou to inspect the refugees in person, where were you!?"

"You are nothing but selfish villains, but you also pretend to be scholars, what a joke in the world!"

When Li Er finished speaking, he purposely glanced in Bai Jingyi's direction, but found that Bai Jingyi was drinking by himself.

It was as if these things had nothing to do with him, and there was no intention of speaking.

This made Li Er even more angry, and he was thinking in his heart: "Huh! This scorpion is really hateful! I invited these old stubborn people to the palace for him!"

"As a result, I was so angry that I didn't say anything, but this Li Zi didn't care about it!"

Bai Jingyi sensed Li Er's gaze, and just glanced at it lightly.

Seeing the half-smile expression on Bai Jingyi's face, Li Er knew that Bai Jingyi was about to speak.

Just when these masters were about to refute, Bai Jingyi stood up and said slowly: "You said that Shandong was in war and the people were displaced!"

"Then these people are also refugees!"

"The holy majesty has long decreed that all the refugees in the world will be allocated to Liangzhou. Why do you resist the decree and respect it!?"

Mr. Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Don't think that the common people don't know what this stupid king is up to!"

"This stupid king clearly wants to send refugees from all over the world to the frontiers. They will either die because of the war, or die from hunger and cold!"

"As long as these people die, the palace can save a lot of money, and then it can be used for this stupid king to continue to enjoy himself!"

When they heard this, all the civil and military officials present were furious, and they all cursed angrily: "It's really a villain's heart to measure a gentleman's belly!"

"Your Majesty is dedicated to serving the country and the people, have your consciences been eaten by dogs!?"

"Hmph! It's just a bunch of selfish villains! It's ridiculous to dare to be called a great Confucian!"

However, Bai Jingyi did wave his hand to signal the ministers behind him to be quiet, and then smiled lightly and said, "Heh! In the end, it's just that I dislike the barrenness of Liangzhou!"

"If that's the case, how about bringing all the people in Shandong to the palace!? Are you satisfied with this!?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was speechless and could only look away with a straight face.

But Bai Jingyi smiled lightly and said: "Heh! Have you ever been to Liangzhou!? Have you ever walked out of your own corner!?"

"Confucius said: If you know what you know, you don't know what you don't know! Could it be that you just read the sage books with your eyes closed!?"

The civil and military officials all sneered and looked at the few scholars in the distance.

I was even thinking in my heart: "Oh! These scholars are simply stupid in reading and reading!"

"It means that the King of Beiliang can persuade these stubborn scholars!"

"Hahaha, you deserve it, I have nothing to say now!"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xu Maogong had already prepared their speeches, if Bai Jingyi hadn't convinced these scholars.

They will definitely have a good argument with these stubborn people.

Mr. Zhao was at a loss for words for a while, and the masters behind him were also silent.

Bai Jingyi smiled contemptuously and said, "Heh! Sage Kong traveled around the world and was good at eloquence! You are actually worthy of calling yourself the disciple of Sage Confucius!?"

"If the sage Kong knew about it, I'm afraid everyone would want to clean up the door! You really insulted the teacher!"

Hearing this, Master Zhao stood up angrily.
