Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Then Li Qiu wantonly sold wine and tea at exorbitant prices in Chang'an City, making huge profits."

"Later, there is the current disobedience of etiquette, openly defying government orders, and despising the majesty of the court."

"The ministers think that this son should be demoted from Chang'an!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this son comes from a humble background, so he shouldn't be in the royal ranks with the nobles in the world."

"It's better to drive out people like them who are born with parents but have no parents, who are not educated and do not follow the rules..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair with his head sullen, raised his head with extremely fierce eyes in an instant.

This murderous aura was just like when he was galloping on the battlefield in person.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji below yelled in his heart that it was not good!

But before he could react, Li Shimin at the top of the Tai Chi Hall directly lifted the dragon case in front of him.

"You bastard!"

"Full of nonsense, nonsense!"

"Come on, pull him out and cut him off!"

"Even if I become a foolish king in the history books once today, I will definitely not forgive you!"

The person who was so proud just now and said those words was just a small fifth-rank official.

Always standing behind others to help.

Even he himself didn't know, how could he suddenly make Long Yan furious, and even expose the Long case for the first time? !

Moreover, when he heard that the current sage was going to pull him out and chop him up, the unlucky guy's legs went limp for a moment.

He was so frightened that he didn't even know how to complain or beg for mercy, so he just slumped on the ground.

This Li Shimin was the emperor on horseback. He fought on the battlefield all his life and killed countless enemy soldiers with his own hands.

His murderous aura and aura under the rage are still very frightening.

Not only the unlucky guy, but everyone in the Taiji Hall except Changsun Wuji was completely dumbfounded at this time.

I don't understand why Li Shimin is so angry.

At this time, Changsun Wuji finally stood up in time, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"This person is really hateful, but please calm down and take care of the overall situation!"

These few words of Changsun Wuji really hit the point, which made Li Shimin calm down a lot in an instant.

But Changsun Wuji turned around at this moment, hating iron for being weak and scolding everyone: "You say you courtiers, you know what's going on in a day, just quote from the scriptures."

"The loyalty, filial piety, and etiquette system you talk about are just the loyalty and filial piety of the ancients, and the sages are humble!"

"And the loyalty and filial piety that you only obey and do that are put in front of you are true loyalty and filial piety!"

"Two days ago, the Supreme Emperor had already said that he pities the two children, Li Qiu and Wu Jue, and wants to witness their marriage in person."

"Now, in front of His Majesty, you criticize Li Qiu like this, and what you say is so ugly."

"The one you are really slandering is the Supreme Emperor!"

"Your Majesty is an extremely filial person. How can you not be angry when you speak such nonsense in front of His Majesty?!"

"You don't need to speak today, I, the official secretary of the Tang Dynasty, will punish you first!"

"Come here, take off this person's official hat, cut off his official position, and drive him out of the Tai Chi Hall. He will never be allowed to enter Chang'an again!"

On the surface, Changsun Wuji severely punished this person, but actually saved his life.

Being demoted is always better than being killed.

At the same time, Changsun Wuji also gave Li Shimin a step down, so as not to freeze there and end badly.

It can be said that his move directly appeased those courtiers, and at the same time tried to maintain Li Shimin's face and feelings.

This is also the reason why he, who is good at dancing with long sleeves and flattering left and right, can do such a difficult job as Minister of the Ministry of Officials well.

It wasn't until after listening to his words that everyone finally realized it.

It turns out that the reason for all this comes from here.

Li Qiu on the other side of Ganqing settled the Supreme Emperor in private, but the courtiers on this side didn't know it, and kept playing Li Qiu, talking nonsense.

It's no wonder that the current Holy Majesty can be so angry because of these two unflattering splints.

It can only be said that the official who was pulled out deserved to be unlucky.

If you play Li Qiu, you play Li Qiu. As far as what he said, it is obviously beyond the limit.

too much...

After falling into silence in the Tai Chi Hall for a while, Li Shimin shook his hands angrily and left.

Not a word remained.

Today, when he heard the words that Li Qiu had parents but no parents, he really wanted to kill someone at that time!

If he had two pieces of Ni Lin in his heart, one would be the Xuanwumen Incident, and the other would be Li Qiu.

Until now, he was finally able to understand what Empress Changsun had always said to him, the difficult words behind Qiu'er growing up to this day.

Just imagine, a child, from childhood to adulthood, is said to have been born by parents but not raised by parents.

How much harm will it be? !

Li Shimin sighed deeply when he walked into the imperial garden with his head depressed.

The eye sockets couldn't help but a little red.

On the other side, after the ministers dispersed resentfully, Changsun Wuji also hurried into the palace and came to Empress Changsun.

Chapter 342 The Lively Festival in Daan Palace

After listening to Changsun Wuji about what happened in the hall today, Empress Changsun was naturally furious.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji hurriedly persuaded him.

Said that the bastard had been dismissed from office and expelled from Beijing.

He came into the palace in a hurry, just to persuade the empress and His Majesty not to be sad or angry because of such trivial matters.

The body is still the most important.

Also, today in the court hall, His Majesty was so angry that he revealed the dragon case.

In the eyes of the officials, this situation is indeed too abnormal.

If the Empress and His Majesty continue to expand the influence of this matter, then Li Qiu's identity will inevitably be suspected.

This is a major event involving the eldest son of the emperor and the prince, and it is bound to cause turmoil in the court.

And for Li Qiu, this is extremely dangerous.

At the moment of internal and external troubles, it is better to be safe.

After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Empress Changsun also frowned and remained silent.

After a while, he sighed softly, "Brother, no matter what, you must take care of Qiu'er for me."

Changsun Wuji nodded with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will naturally handle this matter."

"Besides, Li Qiu and these children are smart, and there is no need for the mother to work too hard!"

……

Two days later, Li Qiu and Wu Jue's marriage was held as scheduled.

After that incident happened in the court hall, all the officials suddenly fell silent.

On the one hand, since the Supreme Emperor has spoken in person, they naturally have no room for further maneuvering in such matters.

On the other hand, regarding Li Shimin's anger, each of them still had some doubts in their hearts.

Before they fully figured it out, they naturally wanted to wait for the opportunity.

On this day, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, and Feng Li must be there to attend Li Qiu's marriage.

And people like Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde are somewhat taboo.

But they also sent the eldest sons of the family to come to congratulate them with rich gifts.

Coupled with those people in the Furong Garden, the marriage this time was also extremely lively.

Since the Supreme Emperor could not leave Da'an Palace, the location of their two worship halls was chosen in Da'an Palace.

For a moment, the entire Da'an Palace was decorated with lights and festoons, and it was very lively.

Ever since the Xuanwumen Incident, there has never been such a festive and lively time in Da'an Palace.

Even the Chinese New Year is deserted.

Therefore, on this day, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was in a very good mood, and accompanied by Wang Gui and others, he kept laughing.

And those little princes and princesses in Da'an Palace were even more happy.

Facing those delicious nuts, toffee, and all kinds of novelty toys, they were simply happy.

They had never seen this kind of marriage before, so they were naturally extremely curious.

Especially those who got married today are Li Qiu and Wu Jue who they like the most and treat them best.

Almost this day, they kept laughing, running and jumping.

After the lively ceremony was over, all the guests dispersed one after another.

Li Qiu and Wu Sui also bid farewell to the Supreme Emperor and returned to the Furong Garden.

Here today, there is also their own grand celebration ceremony inside the Furong Garden.

Just for the marriage of his two teachers, [-] students in Furong Academy deliberately and secretly choreographed a large-scale dance.

Celebrate with a table.

When the motorcade to marry Wu Sui entered the gate of Furong Garden, everyone cheered enthusiastically.

In the huge open space outside the Hibiscus Garden, a super huge bonfire was also ignited immediately.

In terms of scale and scene, it was even bigger than the one during the Shangyuan Festival last year.

The huge flame shot straight into the sky, such a huge scene naturally attracted the exclamation and onlookers of the people in Chang'an City.

It's a pity that it has entered the curfew time, and the city gate has been closed.

They can only gather around and watch excitedly.

(The curfew is just driving the people back to their respective squares and not allowing them to go to the streets. It is not that they are not allowed to leave their homes. Those squares are similar to today's giant communities, surrounded by earthen walls.)

In that era, material and cultural life and spiritual and cultural life were too barren.

Such a grand bonfire can make them excited.

In the eyes of the people in Chang'an City, how grand is the bonfire outside the city?

Looking from a distance, it seemed that the bonfire was lit on the south wall of Chang'an City.

In fact, the city wall was eight or nine meters high, and what they saw was the center of the flame.

Immediately, under the personal leadership of Gao Kan, the large-scale dance carefully prepared by the students of Furong Academy also lined up and started.

It still uses the essence of the choreography of the last Lantern Festival, neat and uniform, extremely exciting and beautiful.

Li Qiu, Wu Jue, and everyone in the Furong Garden watched with smiles on their faces and kept applauding.

For this, the people in the city can't see it at all.

They could only hear the uniform, common shouts and passwords of this group of children.

Because during the last Lantern Festival, many of them had already seen the dance performed by the students of Furong Academy.

Hearing these shouts and commands again at this time, I naturally imagined the wonderful scene of dancing outside the city in my mind.

Then I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, such a beautiful and wonderful, large-scale performance, I just couldn't see it in the city!

In the palace, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun stood on the terrace, looking at the huge bonfire in the south of the city.

Li Shimin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly: "This bastard, I got his wish when I gave him the Furong Garden outside the city."
