The civil servants rode in sedans and the military attachés rode horses. Although the civil servants received the news early, it was the military attachés who arrived first and arrived outside the court in advance.
Li Hong and Guo Tianxin took a look at Zhu Tianjiang sitting on the ground, and found that he looked like a spectator and did not show any sign of "sadness or anger". Prince Jing originally asked Zhu Tianjiang to kneel there, but this guy didn't
With such a good temper, he sat down on the ground. When the official of the Zongren Mansion saw that Prince Jing didn't say anything, he pretended not to see it.
Guo Tianxin said angrily, "Humph". Before coming, Li Hong warned Guo Tianxin to stop talking and let him, the Minister of War, take the lead. Li Hong and Wang Taifu were both in the second grade in terms of quality, so it was more convenient for them to compete against each other.
Li Hong walked quickly to King Jing. King Jing had already seen the group of military attachés and civil servants walking into the front palace gate. He deliberately pretended not to see them and simply sat on a chair and hummed a tune.
"Prince Jing is a thousand years old. Li Hong wants to ask you something." Li Shangshu said with his hand in hand.
"Hey~! Isn't this Li Shangshu? Do you want to treat me to a drink?" Prince Jing said with his legs crossed and his eyes narrowed.
Zhu Tianjiang thought to himself that this image did not resemble that of a prince. In his previous life, he was just an old hooligan who squeezed into a car.
"Prince Jing, I don't have time to joke with you. Your Majesty has already made a decree. Why did you hear that Taifu Wang wanted to lecture Zhu Tianjiang in front of the court? Do you think that Zhennan General Guo Tianxin is nothing? This is too arrogant."
Li Hong had no intention of joking with Prince Jing. As he spoke, he turned to look at Taifu Wang and others with dissatisfaction.
"Li Hong, who said it was Taifu Wang who instructed Zhu Tianjiang? My king's order is for them to confront each other in front of the court to see who can tell the truth. If everyone thinks Zhu Tianjiang is right, then I will make the decision.
Let him go and not hold him accountable." Prince Jing rolled his eyes and said to himself, "If you have the ability, go and question the emperor. It won't be easy for me."
When Li Hong, Guo Tianxin and other generals heard this, they said, my dear, what did Prince Jing do to get rich today? He even dared to change the emperor's will. However, everyone also understood that if Prince Jing dared to say this while standing outside the court, he must be
I got His Majesty's approval. Otherwise, I wouldn't even dare to give him the courage. This would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Li Hong was slightly startled, with a happy look on his face. Li Hong nodded to Prince Jing to express his gratitude, then turned around and walked to Guo Tianxin.
"Brother Tianxin, it seems that we mistakenly blamed Prince Jing. He is trying to help us." Li Hong said in a low voice.
"Well, it seems that Prince Jing said a lot of good things in front of His Majesty." Guo Tianxin looked at Prince Jing gratefully. He asked Zhu Tianjiang to confront Taifu Wang in front of the court. Regardless of whether he won or lost, Taifu Wang's face would be completely lost.
All the civil servants had serious faces and acted as if they were about to die. Especially after hearing what Prince Jing said, they were all filled with grief and indignation.
Among the crowd of civil servants, someone also walked out and came to King Jing, "Prince Jing, although the imperial family has the authority to encourage good deeds, you must give us an explanation."
The person who spoke was Pan Zigang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Among the six departments, the Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry were all controlled by civil servants. They were basically students of Taifu Wang. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment were under the control of military attachés.
I can hold it in my hand, and it usually works well with the other games.
"Excuse me? What's the law? Isn't this king's decree not the law?" King Jing rolled his eyes angrily and said to himself, "If you have the ability, go to the emperor." I felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Seeing that people were almost here, Wang Taifu stepped out and said, "Dear colleagues in the court, I followed the late emperor to govern the world and won the late emperor's love. I gave the old minister a teaching pole, which can be used to beat naughty princes at the top and ignorant disciples at the bottom.
Unexpectedly, I have suffered such a great humiliation a few days ago. I am really ashamed of my late emperor. However, the justice of the country is as heavy as a mountain, and I have to stand up and uphold the laws of Dafeng. Otherwise, our dynasty will have unpopular hearts.
, there will be chaos!" Wang Taifu said righteously and solemnly, and raised the small bamboo pole in his hand high.
Only then did Zhu Tianjiang realize that Prince Jing had asked him to argue with this old guy, which he was good at. The accusations from directors and stars in his previous life were all tempered into steel, and even dead people could make him talk alive. Looking at that thin
Zhu Tianjiang really regretted not breaking the bamboo pole for him at that time. Look how coquettish this guy is.
Prince Jing sat with his back to the main door of the court. Behind the main door, Emperor Chengwu was also listening, with his hands behind his back. A eunuch moved a chair, and Emperor Chengwu sat facing the main door. The two brothers were inside one door and one was outside.
, they were all scolding each other in their hearts. Prince Jing scolded his brother for causing trouble for him, and Emperor Chengwu scolded Prince Jing for not being able to do things.
After hearing what the old master said, the civil servants all felt the same hatred and wanted to kill the guys opposite with their eyes. The generals were even more arrogant. When Taifu Wang confronted a disciple of the Guo Mansion, he himself lost a lot.
"Prince Jing, if this son is speechless after being reprimanded, I hope that Prince Jing will consider it from the perspective of the country and the country, and correct the laws of Dafeng." Taifu Wang bowed his hand.
Prince Jing scratched his head, "Which one~ I'll tell you later, I'll see who takes the lead first." After Prince Jing finished speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "My bastard brother won't let me kill him, what can I do?"
Emperor Chengwu was sitting in the door. He wished he could hear Prince Jing fart. Taifu Wang couldn't hear this, but Emperor Chengwu heard it clearly. Emperor Chengwu pointed fiercely at the big red door in front of him.
, he could kick King Jing in the face just by opening the door.
Master Wang held the teaching pole and circled around Zhu Daguan twice. Zhu Tianjiang simply stood up.
"How presumptuous! Who asked you to stand up? Kneel down!" Taifu Wang said angrily.
Zhu Tianjiang raised his head and said, "Old man, we are having a conversation now, not you reprimanding anyone. From now on, you and I are equal, Prince Jing is a thousand years old, do you think so?" Zhu Tianjiang said in his heart, in front of everyone.
You dare to say otherwise in front of all the military attaches.
Prince Jing was much smarter than he thought, and he simply pretended not to hear these words. Saying 'yes' would offend the civil servants, and saying 'no' would offend the generals. He was not stupid.
"Ignorant and scoundrel, you dare to be on an equal footing with me. I have assisted two generations of emperors, who are you?" Taifu Wang how could he let Zhu Tianjiang gain the upper hand? He scolded angrily.
"Old Master Wang, I, Zhu Tianjiang, am also a man who has traveled all over the world and is rich in knowledge. Who in the capital doesn't know that I have the title of Poet Immortal. You are said to have read hundreds of books, but not one of them is written by you. My old friend said
, If you have ambitions, it doesn’t matter how old you are. If you don’t have ambitions, you can live a hundred years in vain. Don’t judge your level by your age and position, only a humble person. Could it be said that you are not a humble person?" Zhu Tianjiang was eloquent, and Mrs. Wang was speechless after a few words.
Word.
"Oh, this guy can do it." Li Hong was still worried about a one-sided situation, but he didn't expect that Zhu Tianjiang was not the only one.
Guo Tianxin felt a little better, thinking that if this kid wins today, I will give him a house.
Taifu Wang looked ugly and pointed his teaching stick, "You bad boy, don't mess around. I'm asking you, your teacher is the same as your parents, so why do you contradict your teacher in school?" Taifu Wang thought to himself, no matter how quibble you are, I will always be your teacher.
, even if it is only for an hour, your boy will be ridiculed by the world as a traitor and unfilial son.
"Taifu, my student asked you, Normal University or Tianda University?"
"Nonsense, of course it is!" Taifu Wang felt a little alert in his heart, wondering what kind of trap this kid was planning.
"Since Tian Da and Master, I, Dafeng Chengwu Emperor, am the emperor, I should be greater than you."
Taifu Wang was stunned and said, "How dare you, how dare you be so disrespectful! Prince Jing, this scoundrel speaks arrogant words and insults His Majesty." Taifu Wang said in his heart that you are still young, but the old man found out that he actually compared me with the emperor.
Prince Jing pinched his nose and said, "I didn't hear clearly what he just said. Continue." Prince Jing thought to himself, even if you treat the emperor's brother to shit today, I won't punish you with death. Didn't he protect you? He deserves it.
!
Mrs. Wang shook the teaching stick fiercely. Isn't this bullying? It's an obvious bias.
Zhu Tianjiang didn't care about that and continued: "Old Master, I haven't finished what I said. Please listen carefully. Since the emperor is your respecter, and students think about the country and the country, why can't they contradict you?"
"Absurd, simply ridiculous." Taifu Wang shook his head angrily.
All civil and military officials in the court felt that what Zhu Tianjiang said was indeed a bit wrong. Guo Tianxin had a dark face. Li Hong glanced at him and shook his head with a sigh. What does Jiangshan Sheji have to do with you as a student? Isn't this nonsense?
"My lords, please be quiet and listen to the students explain to you." Zhu Tianjiang cupped his hands and continued: "At that time, the old master humiliated my lord, General Guo, saying that he was a warrior and did not understand the way of governing the country. Only students would contradict him.
.”
"Even if I say it, you, a student, shouldn't contradict me. Moreover, I have a gift from the late emperor in my hand. Could it be said that a guilty minister who was beheaded by Shang Fang's sword can also resist?" Taifu Wang is an old and cunning person.
Put on a big hat.
"Old Master, you humiliated the generals in front of all the princes. The consequences are very serious. To put it bluntly, you are causing harm to the country and the people."
"Presumptuous~!!"
"Bold~!"
A group of civil servants couldn't stand listening anymore and started to accuse him.
"Okay! If anyone is dissatisfied, just stand up and I will argue with him." Zhu Tianjiang waved his hand, and the civil servants of the court asked him to point it out.
Prince Jing wears a beard, this guy is really good, and with this magnanimity, none of the princes can compare to him.
"Zhu Tianjiang, just now the Grand Tutor asked you why you wanted to block the gift given by the late Emperor. You should explain this clearly first." A Xuezheng grasped the key point and shouted loudly.
Zhu Tianjiang wanted to divert the conversation away just now, but it seemed like he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.
"Master Xuezheng, this student has a reason for blocking the gifts given by the late emperor. As I said just now, if the imperial tutor humiliates the military attache, the consequences will be disastrous." Zhu Tianjiang cleverly put the humiliation of Guo Tianxin into
It was changed to 'military officer', which suddenly expanded the scope to all generals.
"Don't be impatient, gentlemen. Please listen to what I have to say. Who created the empires of the past dynasties? Was it Xuezheng from the Imperial College? No! Was it the founding emperor alone? No. It was through these brave battles.
The generals, as well as the warriors who shed their lives and blood. They sacrificed their lives to defend the country, and countless heroic souls fell to create a new dynasty. And Taifu Wang actually humiliated the military attache in front of all the princes. This
It is tantamount to educating them that they have no military skills. Once a prince takes over the throne in the future, let me ask, if our Dafeng Dynasty abandons military force and embraces civility and does not focus on border defense, will it still be able to withstand the enemy's tiger and wolf divisions at that time?" Zhu Tianjiang said
His eloquent expressions and body language immediately resonated with the military attachés.
"Well said!"
"Boy! I want to buy you a drink!"
"Grandma, what you said makes me want to cry."
The military attachés cheered loudly, and Prince Jing and Emperor Chengwu who were sitting in the door couldn't help but nod secretly.
"Hey, thank you, thank you! I haven't finished yet. In fact, when I blocked the teaching pole given by the late emperor, I just wanted to give the old master a warning. I, the Dafeng Dynasty, should be both civil and military, and I shouldn't have done this.
It’s so clear. Wen can settle the world and govern the government. Wu can intimidate enemy countries and make the people work and study in peace. The teachings given by the late emperor should be to let the tutor be strict in his studies, rather than being strict and abandoning martial arts. The country and the country are inseparable from the literati.
We cannot live without military commanders, old master, are you right what the students said?"
Zhu Tianjiang changed the subject and praised the literati in disguise. He was not stupid. If he caused such a big battle, once the literati were cornered, the god in the palace would sacrifice his soldiers to protect the commander and take his life.
In exchange for the stability of the court.
Although Taifu Wang relied on his elders, he was an upright person. Everyone present understood what Zhu Tianjiang said. But it seemed to be a bit off topic. Zhu Tianjiang took Taifu Wang around. Taifu Wang muttered for a long time, but he couldn't find the right one.
to counterattack.
Emperor Chengwu in the court finally showed a smile. He knew that it was time for him to appear.
"Come here! Open the palace door!"
Emperor Chengwu stood up, and two eunuchs quickly stepped forward to adjust the dragon robes. The two big red palace doors creaked open to both sides!
Emperor Chengwu put his hands behind his back and looked ahead majestically. Just as he was about to take a step, Emperor Chengwu stopped and frowned slightly.
"Prince Jing, should you get out of the way yourself, or should your brother kick you away!"
