"Oh? Where is it?" Li Yuan heard this and asked subconsciously. He really knew nothing about what happened last night.
The veteran slowly straightened up and said in a stiff tone: "As far as I know, His Majesty the King of Qin was in a brothel with a group of generals last night!"
"What? Brothel?!"
As soon as these two words came out of the veteran minister's mouth, the court immediately burst into an uproar!
Countless eyes were fixed on Li Shimin and his party, with surprise, disgust, or in other words, a sense of amusement~
It is true that it was not uncommon for officials to go to brothels in the Tang Dynasty. There was even a priest's square specially built for officials! Those things were obviously ritual and music institutions, but secretly they were just official prostitutes! In the open-minded Tang Dynasty, it was a good place to visit
The kiln is really not a big deal!
However, everything depends on who does it!
Now, a prince visits a brothel and openly leads a group of generals with him! Wherever this happens, it makes people feel funny and a little bit weird at the same time!
Li Shimin's face felt a little hot when he felt everyone's eyes wandering on him!
He never thought that this matter would be exposed, and directly exposed to the public!
But if Xiao Han were here, he would definitely give a thumbs up to the official from the Ministry of Justice and the veteran minister at this time to express his admiration!
These people are amazing! They really have ideas! Insightful! They have means!
Start with a person's reputation and private affairs to destroy his image, thereby achieving the purpose of attacking the other party!
This is an improvement over simply weakening the opponent's strength! It has to be said that this is not just a small step to defeat Xiao Lizi, but a big step for future factional battles!
Even if I see you unhappy, I won’t ignore you or diminish your rights! I just want to ruin your reputation and make you feel ashamed. How simple and clear is that?
This trick, which would be common in the future, was so powerful! The completely inexperienced officials of the Tang Dynasty were all dumbfounded. The huge court was so quiet that even breathing could be heard!
All the officials figured it out. This matter, which at first glance seemed like a trivial matter, seemed like King Qin had just made a mistake that every man would make!
But if it is placed on the road to seizing the direct line, this will undoubtedly be an indelible stain!
Just look at Yan Shigu's serious expression in the court, and you will know that he is ready to record this matter in the history books! If there are any big changes in the future, there will not be an emperor in the Tang Dynasty who misses the fireworks place, right?
"Ahem, let me explain this. We didn't go to a brothel yesterday! We drank too much in the restaurant next door. We felt that there was something illegal about forcing girls into prostitution! Then we took a look and sought justice by the way!"
In the silence, Chai Shao couldn't help but explain aloud, but when he said this, his calves were trembling!
As Li Yuan's son-in-law, he is definitely no less bitter than Li Shimin now, and even more bitter in some aspects!
He also believed in Xiao Han's evildoing last night and went to the brothel with him!
Now, even if my father-in-law, the emperor, spares me, it is hard to say whether I will be alive to see the sun tomorrow after returning home from the next court!
Thinking about the methods of the female general Pingyang, Chai Shao seems to have seen his own miserable future...
"My enemy! Lao Chai is right! We are here to settle a grievance, not that! How else could we get out in less than half a cup of tea?"
Liu Hongji was listening to Chai Shao's sophistry at this time, and his thoughts came to life. He quickly stood up and shouted loudly! But this sentence seemed to be slightly ambiguous to other people's ears...
"Pfft..."
"Hahahaha, half a cup of tea?"
"Well, that's right. Including the time to take off your pants, it's not short, not short..."
"Hey, Brother Zhao, you're wrong to say that. It takes time to take off your pants, and it also takes time to put on your pants~"
As soon as Liu Hongji finished speaking, the huge court room was stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst into loud laughter! There were some talkative people who even added words of jealousy from time to time!
Liu Hongji was a little confused by the laughter at this time, and looked at everyone with a blank expression!
Duan Zhixuan, who was choked and rolled his eyes, leaned over and whispered a few words to him, and then he understood the sick words in his words! Even though he was a fool, he was a little unable to resist at this time.
The court at this moment can really apply a current buzzword, that is, there is a happy atmosphere everywhere!
Even Li Yuan on the dragon throne coughed repeatedly to hide the smile on his face!
Hahaha, this Mr. Liu is really interesting!
In the field, Prince Li Jiancheng did not laugh along with him. He was squinting at Liu Hongji, wondering if this guy was faking it? He had clearly brought troubled water to Li Shimin's head just now. Why did he say a word and this happened again?
Turned into a farce?
"What nonsense!"
Amidst the roar of laughter, the veteran who had just pointed out that Li Shimin visited a brothel also felt something was wrong and hurriedly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was very clear among the laughter around him.
"If you hadn't gone to a brothel last night, how would you have known that girls were being forced into prostitution? How would you have known that they were doing illegal things if you hadn't been there?"
Liu Hongji was feeling upset at this time. When he heard this, an unknown fire immediately ignited in his heart!
Staring, he scolded the old minister: "Bah, old Bangzi, you are the one who is talking nonsense! Who doesn't know the dirty things in the brothel? You need to go in and take a look to find out? Is there something in your latrine?"
What don’t you know?!”
What did Liu Hongji do before? A green-skinned scoundrel in the market! Even Xiao Han had to be defeated by scolding popular people! Not to mention those scholars who have read poetry and books!
A vicious remark made the old minister choke and almost vomit blood three times, and he could hardly breathe evenly...
"Vulgar, vulgar!"
Seeing that the old minister was almost angry to death on the spot, many of his colleagues also felt sad and jumped out to accuse Liu Hongji.
But they seem to have forgotten that at this time last year, Liu Hongji once had a verbal battle with a group of scholars, one person challenged a group of scholars, and won a great victory!
Now, facing such a little battle, to be honest, Old Liu is really not afraid! But don’t you think I’m vulgar? Then I’ll give you a taste of elegance!
"stop!"
Facing the target of thousands of people, Liu Hongji's anger sank into his Dantian, and then he shouted loudly! The sound was so loud that the glazed tiles above his head seemed to tremble! It was even more shocking that those people couldn't help but hold back their voices.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, not knowing what the hell was going on!
When Liu Hongji saw that the scene had calmed down, he felt a little proud. Then he tried hard to recall Xiao Han's words last night, pointed at those people and read them out:
"A flock of crows chattering,
Spewing feces from the mouth is called croak.
Let’s have some fun today,
Everyone will talk nonsense tomorrow!"
(Ps: Regarding the seizure of the direct line, historically, Li Yuan has been wavering on who will inherit the throne.
Although Li Jiancheng was established as the crown prince, Li Yuan said more than once that he would change Li Shimin to the crown prince.
Perhaps it was because of this that Li Shimin had extravagant hopes for the throne, and Li Jiancheng gradually resented Li Shimin.
But when the two brothers had completely broken up, Li Yuan still had illusions.
He wanted to divide the Tang Dynasty into two after his death, with Guanzhong going to Li Jiancheng and Luoyang and the east of Luoyang going to Li Shimin, but neither of them agreed.)
