Li Song's face was still shocked and his anger was already showing, and he said, "So, is the memorial of the Censor Han Yu true? Didn't he slander the Sidao King?"

"Send memorial?" Li Chun was stunned and said, "I don't know what happened to him. But that day, the child did see him, and there was another person who was crying and crying as he watched the hungry people grab the dead body."

"A few days ago, Han Yu, the Censor of the Censorate, submitted a memorial to the "Censorate on the Death and Famine of People in the Censorate", saying that the people in Guanzhong had a severe drought and the people had no income, so he asked for the pardon of the people in Guanzhong this year." Li Song said: "But more than a month ago, Your Majesty asked the King of Sidao about the peasant situation in Guanzhong. Sidao also said that although Guanzhong had a bit of drought this year, the hundred letters also had a good harvest. Therefore, Your Majesty felt that Han Yu was sensational and deliberately gaining a reputation for integrity. Li Shi also wrote a letter to call for justice and requesting punishment for Han Yu."

"What?!" Li Chun was shocked and hurriedly said: "Father, there are so many civil and military people in the court. Only Han Yu dares not be afraid of the Taoist king and submits memorials to explain the truth! How can he be exiled and let His Majesty be deceived to be stigmatized by inaccurateness!"

Look at how good Li Chun is to speak. This is obviously because Li Shi is not aware of it, but he takes the initiative to find a reason for excuse for him. Wei Renshi complained in his heart.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside, saying, "Caomin Cheng Fu Duan, pay homage to the Lord."

Wei Renshi said to the outside: "Come in!"

Cheng Fuduan walked in in costume and saluted again: "Caomin Cheng Fuduan pays homage to the Lord and to the two distinguished guests."

Wei Renshi waved his hand and said, "Sheng Fuduan, sing, and sing the song that makes you hate by Jingzhao Yin."

"Yes." Cheng Fuduan bowed, then immediately sang and started singing.

From his opera, the people's helplessness that the people could not bear the rain, the panic of unrecovered grains, the expectation for the court's relief, the despair of hearing taxes as usual, and the pain of having to demolish houses and sell land to raise taxes.

With his plays, the people were forced to become refugees without being covered in clothes and food, and even had to sell their children and daughters, demolish houses and land, and even used human corpses to fill their hunger, which showed Li Song one by one.

"...The Qin city has been in two hundred years, how could it be so cheap? One hectares of wheat seedlings and five stones of rice, three main halls and two thousand coins!" Cheng Fuduan's voice fell, and the hall returned to silence again.

Li Song was silent for a while and asked, "How did you do this drama?"

"Reporting to the distinguished guests, these are things that Caoren has seen with his own eyes." Cheng Fuduan replied.

"Father, the child can testify!" Li Chun stood up and bowed and said, "The child also saw the situations in the play with his own eyes. If the father does not believe it, he can go to the outside of Chang'an City to inspect it!"

Wei Renshi also stood up and said, "Your Highness asked why he was at my house just now. It was because he wrote these operas and sang them in Chang'an City and spoke for the people that he was hated by King Sidao. King Sidao wanted to arrest him, but he had nowhere to escape. When I learned about this, I asked him to hide in my house for the time being."

"I understand." Li Song looked very angry and said, "I must report this matter to Your Majesty to avoid being deceived by him and blame the counselor for mistakenly."

After hearing this, Li Chun and Wei Renshi saluted together and said, "Your Highness (father) is wise!"

But Li Song said hatefully, "No one in the court's ministers said this, and he just let Your Majesty be deceived?! That made Your Majesty wrongly accused the minister!"

"Your Highness calmed down. Throughout the years, the kings lived in the deep palace, blocked the audio and video, and deceived them by the slander ministers in the court. Fortunately, this time he was discovered by the Prince of Guangling, and Your Majesty should not be deceived." Wei Renshi said.

Li Song sighed and sat down depressedly.

"I always read history books. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, I had many talents. There were Changsun Wuji, Fang Du, Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian, Yu Shinan, etc.; there were martial arts such as Li Jing and Li Ji, as well as powerful generals such as Yuchi Jingde, Qin Shubao, and Cheng Zhijie. There were many talented ministers in civil and military affairs! Wei County man, tell me, why did the court officials become like this now?!" Li Song's tone was extremely disappointed and asked.

Wei Renshi thought for a while and replied, "Your Highness, the ministers in the dynasty are the king's eyes, hands and feet. The king sees, hears the affairs of the world and the people through his subjects. In the past dynasties, the ministers who first founded the country all followed the founding emperors to pacify the world and give advice. They are very convinced and respectful of the king, so they can be loyal. And they have also experienced wars and knows the difficulties of people's livelihood, so they can often be honest and dedicated to the public. Then the new king, because the prestige of the previous kings is still there, these ministers often still support the king. Moreover, the world is theirs to follow the emperor. The kings fought together and had their strength in the founding of the country. People always have a special liking for what they made by themselves. The meals they cooked themselves feel more delicious, the hunting dogs they raised will be more intimate, and the objects they carved are more cherished. The world was created together, so they also care more. Therefore, in the first few dynasties, most of the ministers were capable ministers and officials, and they could speak out loud and dare to advise and ask for the people. Moreover, these ministers stood out from the war, and there was no need to say much about the difficulties and obstacles they encountered, so they were all outstanding."

"The years later became longer and the country became stable, and these court officials faced much less difficulties than when they founded the country. The ancestors and emperors had become stories, and the new emperor lived in the deep palace for a long time, without seeing the people's affairs. People's hearts are all profitable. Faced with this situation, the greed in people's hearts will emerge, driving them to replace the country's interests with their own interests. To put it bluntly, most of the court officials today are no more than those founding ministers who have personally conquered the world. They have no more for this country. Less feelings, the country is just a platform for them to gain fame, wealth and authority. In this way, they naturally cannot do their best to contribute to the court. Occasionally, a few capable ministers and ministers were strangled together because they violated their interests. In addition, the founding kings later lived in the palace, and few left the palace. Even if they left the palace, the officials below were prepared early. Therefore, the king did not know the real situation of the people outside the palace, so they were naturally easily deceived."

Li Song fell silent for a while before sighing: "I have lived in the deep palace for a long time and have no discernment of folk affairs. This is true for both Your Majesty, the courtiers, or the lonely."

"I have made a mistake in my opinion. Please forgive me!" Wei Ren said with a bow.
