Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 137

For example, the phrase "The world is a country, and the virtuous are based on it" fully illustrates the importance of virtue!
And standing on the emperor himself, he is obviously unwilling to be bound by this kind of bondage on them.

Now that you have become the emperor, the whole country and even the people belong to the emperor. Youdao is the world, is it the land of the king; .

As an emperor, especially an emperor on horseback, Li Er's desire for this kind of power is obviously much stronger than that of most emperors in previous dynasties, and because of his rule, he hopes to gradually weaken the prestige of the five surnames and seven wangs among the people, so He made the five traditional aristocrats such as Lu, Wang, and Pei into the third-class nobles, and at the same time vigorously supported the emerging nobles to fight against them, so as to consolidate the status of the imperial power.

It is precisely because of this that this time it was originally a locust plague in a natural disaster. After some deliberation, it became a contest between the imperial power and the privileges of the rich and powerful. When this kind of relationship is related to the authority or fundamental interests of both parties, it is gone. any way out.

Win or lose!

A gamble!
Waiting for everyone to approach, because the emperor has no way, his personal morality is bad, and he disrespects the heaven and the earth. The debate on natural disasters has already begun. For a while, the scholars of the Manchu Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other famous officials came out to fight with him refute.

"The way of heaven is the way of humanity, and the way of humanity is the rule of ethics. There are three principles of Taoism and people: the ruler guides ministers, the father guides sons, the husband guides wives, brother marries brother and sister-in-law, and the relationship is often called?" Cui Yongyuan was the first to bear the brunt, standing under the ladder at the moment, Chaofang Xuanling asked.

Fang Xuanling did not show any weakness, and immediately responded: "One side is the same, Your Majesty is a descendant of Xianbei, and since ancient times, he has the responsibility to take care of brothers and orphans. This is a righteous act, so what is wrong?"

However, Cui Yongyuan was not satisfied with Fang Xuanling's explanation, and immediately asked: "Xianbei has been destroyed, and now it is the Han Dynasty, and Han Xi should be the first to set an example. Killing brothers and killing brothers is considered royal power and does not count, younger brothers marry Brother and sister-in-law Ru Shi takes care of the orphans, but how can I take care of all the orphans?"

All of a sudden, the whole Taimiao was extremely quiet!

Cui Yongyuan's words obviously hit Li Er's weakness!

The fact is as he said, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Er ordered people to kill all the children of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in order to eradicate the grass.That's the case, Cui Yongyuan's meaning is very obvious, since you have killed all the sons of other people, how can you talk about taking care of orphans?
Fang Xuanling blushed when asked, speechless!

Li Er's face was gloomy, and his fists were bulging with veins!
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent!

The people outside also looked at the people in the Taimiao with astonishment!

However, Cui Yongyuan did not intend to let go of the advantage he had just gained. Fang Xuanling, who asked the first question, the second question, and the third question, backed up again and again, and finally sat down on the ground before giving up.

Immediately afterwards, representatives of the five surnames came out one after another, and one after another, one after another, the questions swept through everything like a storm!
"If people are angry today and locusts are everywhere, what should your Majesty do?" After all the officials were dumbfounded, Lu Gou stepped onto the Taimiao and looked at Li Er with level eyes.

In an instant, everyone was shocked!
No one could have imagined that Lu Gou would be so bold, to accuse Li Er face-to-face, and ask him to give an answer!

Zhang Yi is also sweating in his heart at this moment!

He could tell that Li Er was extremely angry at this moment, and his heavy breathing could be heard clearly even if it was three or four feet away.

Based on his understanding of Li Er, he might have the desire to kill these guys right now, and the reason why he can endure it is because he is waiting for a counterattack!
"Lugou, Lu Zian!" Li Er looked at the person in front of him indifferently, his big eyes stared at Lugou, and asked, "What is your intention?"

Seeing that Li Erqiang suppressed his anger, and Que had no choice but to respond lightly in front of the people, Lu Gou immediately said, "There is no other ear! The emperor Wudao has his own advice! I, Lu Zian, should be the first in the world, admonishing righteousness and righteousness." Alright, die for it!"

When Lu Gou spoke, he closed his eyes, expressing his death-seeking attitude, waiting for Li Er's monstrous anger!

Li Er took a big step forward, and said with a sneer, "What a death! Lu Zian, do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Immediately, Changsun Wuji stepped forward to stop him, saying: "Your Majesty, no, although Lugou and Lu Zi'an are guilty of disrespect, they are still unknown for a while, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

While talking, Wei Zheng and the others also stepped forward, trying their best to dissuade them.

To be honest, they were really worried that Li Er would be angry and do something unwise.

It's easy to kill Lu Zian, but how will everyone in the world think of his name Li Shimin?Wouldn't it be more true to the name of innocence?

"Killing brothers and killing brothers, licentiousness and immorality." Seeing the dissuasion of several people, Li Er smiled instead of anger, and said loudly: "Since I have done it, I dare to admit it, but everything is just my family business, and I don't care about it." You don't need to worry about it!"

Walking past Lu Gou, Li Er didn't look at him, and went straight to the five surnames and Qiwang people in front, and continued: "Since I am the emperor and the emperor, why do I fear river locusts when I am ordered by heaven? , I will destroy it!"

While speaking, when he saw Li Er facing away, a servant gave him a wink, and the servant left in a hurry, and came up with a tray in an instant.

The tray is not big, with golden patterns and clouds, and a palm-sized porcelain vase is standing on top of it.

The waiter walked up to Li Er carefully with the tray, and then raised the tray with both hands to show everyone.

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the porcelain bottle, and everyone didn't know what the hell Li Er was doing, why did he take out a porcelain bottle!

Especially the representatives of the five surnames and Qiwang, their faces were dull, because they looked at Li Er's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and they had already turned into a deep sense of disdain!
not good!

Immediately, someone felt a chill in their hearts!
Ordinary people would have no idea what was in the porcelain vase.Because although the locust plague has come, the use of pesticides has always been led by the military, which means that few people except the military know about it.

But as a wealthy family, as a family of thousands of years, how could they have no sources of information?

It's just that they never thought that Li Er would actually take out this thing at this juncture!After all, locusts have always appeared in the people's minds as the image of angels, and killing locusts is disrespectful to heaven, but Li Er actually said a theory of the son of heaven to stop the theory of angels.

After all, no matter how awesome you are as an envoy from heaven, you can't be arrogant with someone else's son from heaven, right?

Although this statement may not be justified, almost everyone knows that Li Er must have a backup.

At this time, Cui Yongyuan, Lugou and others had already looked ashamed, and now they still can't tell that Li Er has been silent just now, but in fact he has already made up his mind!
Whether it is for them to work hard to mobilize public opinion, or to incite the people to use natural disasters to persecute all the people, they don't care at all, but set a trap early on for them to drill in by themselves!
