"Your Majesty! Foreign ministers accuse the Marquis of Sanyuan County Xiaohan! Tan Guogong, Luo Shixin! Kui Guogong, Liu Hongji are good at starting wars! They sank our Goguryeo warships for no reason and detained our Goguryeo people..."
In Chang'an, in the palace, Pu Zhizhang was kneeling in the center of the hall, crying and telling his grievances to the surrounding monarchs and ministers.
At this moment, five days have passed since the naval battle between Xiao Han and Pu Yisheng, and news about the naval battle has also reached Chang'an.
Just last night, after learning that his country's fleet had been wiped out, Park Yisheng almost fainted and died in Honglu Temple!
During these days, he thought that his clansmen would take revenge and knock on his door!
For this reason, he also specially prepared a lot of words, so that when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would get angry and blame them, he could excuse them.
However, Pu Yisheng really never thought that his own people would be such trash!
With calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, with more soldiers versus fewer soldiers, we could lose so miserably! Not only did we lose the entire fleet, but even Pu Yisheng, who had an important position in the family, was also captured by the Tang people. Isn't this a typical loss of a wife?
Lose troops again?
Therefore, after waking up, Pu Zhizhang's first thought was that the evildoer should complain first! Regardless of anything else, he should accuse him first and then speak with reason!
It would be best if he could use his sharp tongue to rescue Pu Yisheng. In that case, he would be a hero of the Pu family!
"Ahem, Lao Cheng, look!"
Seeing Pu Zhizhang and several people crying there, Duan Zhixuan stood in the middle of the military generals, used his elbow to nudge Cheng Yaojin next to him, and said calmly: "These people are even thicker than you.
Why?"
"fart!"
As soon as Lao Cheng heard this, his old face with beards straightened down immediately!
He had a dark face. He first glanced at Pu Zhizhang who was lying on the ground with disgust, and then coldly snorted: "You damn boy are disgusting me with these sticks! I am not like them, shameless and skinless!"
"Ahem..."
"Hahaha……"
Cheng Yaojin's voice was naturally loud, and he was too lazy to lower his tone, so his words were heard by many people around him, and immediately caused low laughter among the crowd.
Especially after Su Dingfang listened, he continued what he said and recited the poem in a strange way: "These people are really outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, in the grassy sky!"
Immediately afterwards, I don’t know who knew who was asking, but shouted at the top of his voice: "That’s not right, your poem seems to be missing a few words! Let me think about it, yes, it’s the word Bilian!"
"What?! Missing words?" After the man finished speaking, Su Dingfang immediately pointed at Pu Zhizhang in front and said in a strange tone: "Nonsense, you don't even look at it, they still want Bilian?"
"No...don't want Bilian?"
As soon as these words came out, the army of generals who had been in constant commotion couldn't bear it anymore, and everyone burst into laughter.
Even Li Jing, who stood at the head of the class and had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, now looked strange, with an expression that looked like a smile but not a smile.
Speaking of which, Li Jing has not come to court for a long time since the last war to quell the Turks.
If I hadn't heard today that Xiao Han and the others had won a clean victory at sea, I'm afraid he would have continued to stay at home claiming to be ill.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
On the dragon chair, Li Shimin obviously heard what Su Dingfang and the others said. He saw the corners of his mouth twitching hard twice first, and then coughing several times in succession. Then he glared at the general in annoyance, signaling them to be more serious.
The emperor had spoken, and all the generals finally calmed down.
However, before the old Pu Zhizhang could breathe a sigh of relief, Cheng Yaojin suddenly jumped out of the queue, stood beside him swaggeringly, then raised his hand to Li Shimin and said:
"Your Majesty! I also have something to say about this matter!"
"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, looked at Cheng Yaojin and slowly asked: "Cheng Aiqing, what do you have to say?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Of course I have some doubts about what the mentally retarded envoy said, so I want to ask the mentally retarded envoy for advice! Your Majesty, don't worry, I, old Cheng, am reasonable! I won't mess around!
"
"Ahem..." After hearing Cheng Yaojin say that he was reasonable, Li Shimin's cheeks twitched obviously for a few times, but he finally nodded: "Okay, if you can't tell the truth, if Cheng Aiqing has any problems, you might as well show it in front of everyone."
For the sake of people, tell it!"
"Here!" Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed after receiving the emperor's permission. He first clasped his fists and returned a salute to Li Shimin, then lowered his head and grinned solemnly at Pu Zhizhang, and asked:
"I just heard what this mentally retarded envoy meant. Did we go and rob their ship? And beat their people?"
Pu Zhizhang clearly noticed something was wrong from Cheng Yaojin's smile. But now, he could only bite the bullet and gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes! It's you. You ignore the friendship of neighboring countries! You are brazenly attacking our country.
The ships started to attack, so many of our Goguryeo men were pitiful, and they all died in the belly of the fish... Oh, what a tragedy, what a tragedy!"
"Ahem, you're waiting to cry. It's not even the Qingming Festival yet. Why are you crying first?"
Seeing Pu Zhizhang leading several Goguryeo people talking and crying, Cheng Yaojin picked his ears impatiently, and then when he saw them still crying and pretending to be pitiful, Lao Cheng immediately got angry and roared, "
Shut up!" This finally made Park Zhizhang and others quiet down.
"I'm asking you!"
Staring with a pair of bull's eyes, Cheng Yaojin stared at Pu Zhizhang and the others with pity and hummed: "You said we hit you first? Then tell me, why is the battlefield near our coast! Could it be that it was?
We go to your house first, pluck your hair, and drag you there before we do anything else?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Park Zhizhang's eyes clearly showed a trace of panic, but soon he pretended to be calm and replied: "Who said the battlefield is near your coast? The battlefield is obviously near our country! They are your people
Lie about military information."
"Oh? Like this?"
Cheng Yaojin listened, but did not argue with him. He continued to smile and asked: "Then you said that the people on those ships were ordinary Goguryeo people? How could ordinary people ride on warships? How could they carry weapons on them?"
"That's, that's..." Sweat began to form on Park Zhizhang's forehead.
From the beginning, he did not dare to say that those people were soldiers of Goguryeo, because that would definitely expose the truth.
After all, no one would gather such a large group of soldiers and drive around in a warship if they had nothing to do!
Doesn’t that make it clear to others that they want to do something?
