I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"I have no plans with your majesty, but I know that you will have to wear your official uniform soon, brother?"

"Why is that?" Du Ruhui saw that Fang Xuanling was so sure and couldn't help asking curiously.

After Fang Xuanling smiled and whispered something, Du Ruhui's expression became strange.

The civil officials nearby, such as Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, saw Fang Mou and Du Duan whispering to each other with strange expressions, and they were curious about what the two were doing!

His Majesty had not yet issued an order to punish him, but Dai Zhou took the initiative to take off his official robes.

The two of them were not in a hurry and were even whispering to each other. There was really something wrong!

Bang!

A dull sound attracted everyone's attention.

Li Shimin slapped the dragon chair with his palm, stood up angrily, and shouted:

"Dai Zhou, before I even gave the order, you took the initiative to take off your official uniform and hand over the goldfish bag."

"Dai Zhou, my dear Lord Dai, you are so bold and reckless. Do you still have eyes for me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

All the civil and military officials in the court bowed their heads and looked terrified when facing the angry Li Shimin.

The man sitting on the dragon throne, when not angry, is courteous and kind to others, and has no imperial airs at all.

But when he gets angry, everyone has to be submissive, no matter whether the anger is fake or real.

After fighting his way out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, the tremendous might he had accumulated was extremely terrifying.

In the center of the hall, Lu Ziye, who was standing behind Dai Zhou, felt his heart tighten, but at the same time, his joy increased, when he heard Li Shimin's words.

"Okay, okay, your majesty is furious. Even if Dai Zhou is not dismissed from office, he must be demoted."

"I really showed off my power in front of all the officials this time!"

Dai Zhou, who was bowing and saluting with his arms crossed, was trembling and muttering to himself.

"Did I misunderstand? Didn't His Majesty ask me to resign voluntarily?"

"But when I first said I wanted to resign, His Majesty's eyes were clearly full of approval, and he didn't say anything to stop me."

"Could it be that I have overacted in the play?"

Dai Zhou thought for a moment and said in panic, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I just feel ashamed to live up to your trust and have no face to take on such a big responsibility."

"Your Majesty, please forgive my mistakes and allow me to resign and retire."

Li Shimin angrily rebuked in a deep voice: "I have my own measure of your merits and demerits."

"The disaster of refugees is unavoidable, and we can only do our best to solve it."

"You don't want to solve your own mistakes, but you resign and retire. Who will you leave this mess to?"

Dai Zhou blinked and immediately understood what was going on.

All the civil and military officials in the court also understood what Li Shimin meant!

Lu Zi was full of joy, but it disappeared at this moment, and he was completely confused!

Chapter 356 Lord Changsun, what do you think about what happened in the court today?

Li Shimin said loudly:

"Dai Zhou, as the Minister of Civil Affairs, cannot escape the blame for this disaster of refugees."

"But now is not the time for you to resign. If you handle this matter well, you can get a lighter punishment."

"If you can't do it well, you want to resign and retire, it's just a foolish dream!"

"I'll chop off your head!"

The last sentence was filled with boundless murderous intent.

All the civil and military officials in the court trembled.

Dai Zhou said in a trembling voice: "I, the guilty minister Dai Zhou, will obey your majesty's order!"

Li Shimin threw away his dragon robe, turned around and left.

Lu Ziye's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something.

But Li Shimin had already said that if Dai Zhou did a good job, he would be given a light punishment, but if he did not do a good job, he would be beheaded in public.

Now that things have come to this, anything he says further will only bring bad luck to Your Majesty.

That's Chunchun courting death!

"Retreat!"

Zhang Ananda’s voice rang out.

The civil and military officials came to their senses, saluted, and shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

After the person leaves.

Du Ruhui looked at Dai Zhou, who was wearing his official uniform again, with a strange expression on his face, and said to Fang Xuanling:

"Prime Minister Fang, you are half right. Brother Dai is indeed wearing his official uniform again."

"But it's not what you said. The refugee problem has been solved, but Brother Dai will be punished no matter what!"

After a pause, Du Ruhui raised his eyebrows, looked at Fang Xuanling and said:

"Prime Minister Fang, I believe what you said about your Sanlang finding a way to solve the problem of refugees."

“But it’s not resolved yet, right?”

"Otherwise, this play shouldn't be performed like this."

"That kid told me last night that it was solved! He can't lie!"

Fang Xuanling, who had planned everything, also stroked his beard in surprise and continued:

"But as you said, the second half of the play is different from what I expected."

"That shouldn't be the case. My Sanlang made quite a noise."

"Your Majesty and Brother Dai acted in perfect harmony earlier. They must have been confident."

"Why do you look like you knew nothing about it?"

Du Ruhui nodded in approval and looked in the direction where His Majesty left.

He also stroked his beard and muttered:

"Yes, according to your majesty's temper, even if your Sanlang fails to solve the problem, your majesty will just know that there is a solution."

"The last scene just now should have been said directly, and the people behind Lu Ziye should be found out in court and given a good beating."

Fang Xuanling also nodded in approval.

At this time.

A curious voice sounded from behind the two of them.

"You two, what are you talking about?"

The sudden sound startled the two of them.

The two waved their hands and saluted towards Changsun Wuji who suddenly came over:

"Master Changsun!"

Afterwards, Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he began to talk about the matter.

Changsun Wuji clenched his hands into fists.

With envy for Fang Xuanling in his eyes, he began to praise him:

"Brother Xuanling, your Sanlang is really concerned about the country and the people, and he is helping His Majesty in his time of need!"

When his colleagues praised his children for being outstanding, Fang Xuanling couldn't hide his joy and pride in his eyes even though he was very good at cultivating his qi!

He said modestly, "No, no, Xingzhi is a good fisherman. He just likes fishing and I just stumbled upon it by accident!"

"Your Excellency Changsun is not worthy of such exaggeration!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said nothing more.

If someone is being polite and modest, and you rush to praise them, it would be beneath your dignity.

Du Ruhui also changed the subject at the right time and asked, "Master Changsun, what do you think of what happened in the court today?"

Chapter 357 If you can speak, I will reward you with one coin!

Li Shimin's elder brother-in-law, the old fox Changsun Wuji who understood the emperor's mind best, narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and then said:

"Your Majesty and Brother Dai performed this play randomly."

"Brother Dai is just making random decisions, and Your Majesty doesn't know how to solve the problem."

"Your Majesty is talking about procrastination."

"Delainate?" Fang Mou and Du Duan said in unison.

After they thought about it, they understood.

If time permits, the problem of refugees will naturally be solved.

As for the length of time, that is up to Your Majesty and the gentlemen to decide.

After all, this was a joint decision made by them, but Dai Zhou, as the Minister of Civil Affairs, was given a light punishment, and the matter was over.

"Master Changsun really understands the emperor's heart!"

"Master Changsun, I am grateful for your advice!"

The two of them saluted towards Changsun Wuji with sincere admiration.

At this time, Changsun Wuji asked: "You two, how do you think His Majesty will deal with those people?"

When he asked this question, he turned his head slightly, revealing three people, two in front and one behind, walking out keeping a proper distance.

The last person was the triumphant Lu Ziye.

Fang Xuanling's gaze fell on the two officials in crimson uniforms in front of him.

His eyes flickered and he said, "It seems we all guessed wrong."

Du Ruhui pursed his lips, stared at the three people, thought for a moment and said:

"Indeed, we both guessed half right."

"Your Majesty's plan is far beyond my reach."

The three of them left hand in hand.

But Changsun Wuji would occasionally glance at the calm and composed Fang Xuanling.

My mind was full of what I just said, and I sighed in my heart:

"If Fang Yiyi really found a way to solve the problem of refugees, and it was effective."

"This is another unimaginable achievement!"

The problem that successive dynasties could not solve was solved by Fang Yiyi.

A problem that all the civil and military officials in the court could not think of a solution to was solved by Fang Yiyi!

Half a year later, if Fang Yiyi enters the officialdom, no one of his peers will be able to match him.

Then he thought that the Fang family already had Chai Xueying, who was invincible among her peers in the military.

The Fang family can be said to be the leader in both civil and military affairs among the younger generation.

In time, these old ministers will slowly retire.

The court will be led by the Fang family!

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji felt anxious.

He, Zhangsun Wuji, is now the head of the civil officials and the queen's elder brother.
