Chapter 2118 What they do is to break the roots of Tubo
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Even the old and steady Prime Minister Fang felt that his brain was a bit out of control.
Yuchi Gong sucked in air with pain in his teeth, Master Li grinned in shock, and everyone in the civil service and military had shock on their faces.
Just when General Cheng had just finished reading, he was taking some tea to moisten his throat.
Then I heard a voice. "Are you listening to the new chapter of "The Romance of Cheng Sanlang Jiannan Road"?"
As soon as these words came out, His Highness Ganlu's voice could not be heard, even though these words came from the civil service group.
But the problem is that although the important military officials of the Tang Dynasty, who were smiling a little bit, were united as one, they were caught off guard when they heard this joke, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At this time, General Cheng, who had passed down poems and books and was the most particular about the teaching of father and son, was not happy at all.
Old brothers make fun of their own sons and settle the accounts later, but that stick-like Kong Yingda actually dares to ridicule his own son like this. Haha...
"Brother Rangli, what do you mean? Do you think our old Cheng family is better than your old Kong family?"
His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was trying hard to control his expression, almost dropped the tea cup in his hand and hurriedly put it back on the table.
Kong Yingda, who has been burdened with the nickname Kong Rangli for a long time, has never found a chance to vent the evil in his heart, so he couldn't help but stab Cheng Yaojin today.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin's counterattack was so sharp. The words "brother Li" almost made Kong Yingda furious.
He pointed straight at Cheng Yaojin opposite him like a sword and shouted.
"Cheng! Zhi! Jie!"
"What are you calling Old Cheng for?" Cheng Yaojin raised his thick eyebrows and stood up. He was in stark contrast to the dry and skinny Kong Yingda.
Chu Suiliang, who was on the side, couldn't help but persuade him.
"Gong Lu, please be careful what you say, slandering and humiliating important officials of the imperial court..."
Cheng Yaojin was so happy that his carrot-thick fingers almost touched the tip of Chu Suiliang's nose.
"Cui, this old man slandered and humiliated an important official of the imperial court and you didn't say anything. Did you take my joke with this old boy seriously?"
A civil servant couldn't help but retort.
"When did Kong Jijiu slander and humiliate important officials of the imperial court?"
"Why, do you think that Taisun Taibao is not an important official of the imperial court?"
"..." In an instant, there was deathly silence in the Manna Hall, which originally seemed a bit messy.
Taisun Taibao, in fact, no one has taken this matter too seriously. After all, His Majesty is in good health, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also in full swing.
The great-grandson is still a naughty child in his infancy. At present, he has not officially entered the sight of those important officials in the court.
Who cares about Taisun Taibao? After all, it is too early to engage in political speculation at this time. It is better to vote for His Highness the Crown Prince.
But the problem is that although Taisun is young, it is the first time that Taisun has been given the official position of Taibao in the Tang Dynasty.
Regardless of whether you care or not, whoever dares to say that Taisun Taibao is not important is implying that Taisun is not important. This is definitely politically incorrect.
Therefore, being caught off guard, Cheng Yaojin, a vulgar warrior, suddenly found a loophole. The civil servants who originally wanted to join forces were stunned and didn't know how to fight back.
"..." Li Shimin also sat there with a weird look on his face, and he swallowed the words he wanted to stop.
But the problem is that as soon as Cheng Yaojin said this, it was really inappropriate for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to speak at this time.
After all, this is an issue involving the authority of the Tang royal family.
Kong Yingda looked straight at Cheng Yaojin, an old treacherous man who usually liked to act arrogant. Here, General Cheng was still so arrogant when it came to eating, eating big chunks of meat and big bowls
drink wine.
Mrs. Cui, on the other hand, sat thoughtfully next to General Cheng, talking quietly to her husband, and refilling her husband's wine glass with fine wine from time to time.
"Husband, this is really God's blessing for our Cheng family. We don't want our old Cheng family's poems and books to be cut off."
"Second brother Dalang has made great achievements in the army now, and we Sanlang, who are not yet eighteen, have already become Taichang Shaoqing..."
"Yes, this boy is not only lucky, but more importantly, he has the ability. He is an old man in his own right..."
Cheng Yaojin drank a glass of wine and winked for a long time before he spoke in a rather sad voice. However, at this point, he was interrupted by his wife Cui.
"Of course his abilities are due to your husband. If he hadn't inherited your husband's intelligence and agility, how could he be where he is today."
"Hahaha... My wife's kind words really make my husband happy. Yes, this boy is really smart in what he does."
"If you work hard in the future, you will definitely become a great person. The boss is stable and has a clear mind when doing things."
"The second child is solid in his work, but he is too straightforward. Fortunately, if he becomes a princess in the future, he will have no worries."
"What I was most worried about before was Saburo. At that time, the prince's legs and feet were in such a condition."
"If the prince's legs and feet are not well, the position will naturally not be secure. If there is something wrong with him, we, Saburo, will also be implicated by it. I am afraid that our career will be difficult in the future."
"Fortunately, our Sanlang's ability is really not good at all. We first used medical skills to heal the prince's legs and feet.
He also tinkered with printing techniques and contributed more than a million books to the court."
"In one fell swoop, the prince's decline and reputation were directly reversed. Not only did he severely suppress the insidious things of those people."
"It also makes His Majesty favor us Saburo more and more..."
"There is also the "Chang'an Xun Bao" run by San Lang. Haha, madam, do you know that that little fat guy also wants to compete with our San Lang in the ring."
"I first came to find His Majesty and wanted to hold the "Chang'an Xunbao" in my hands."
"Is there such a thing?" Mrs. Cui asked in astonishment.ww;
"Yes, but His Majesty may have noticed something and didn't pay any attention to the little fat man.
That's why the little fat man got involved with those aristocratic families and produced some kind of "Chang'an Collected Works"."
Madam Cui's face was gloomy and she said in a low voice, "Husband, your Majesty's thoughts..."
"That's right, Your Majesty has always been both useful and defensive towards the wealthy families, and that little fat guy did this, haha..."
"So, it seems that the crown prince's position is secure now."
"That Your Highness is too unwise." Mrs. Cui couldn't help but muttered.
"It's not that he is unwise, it's that our Duke Zhao's thoughts are extraordinary." Cheng Yaojin said, stroking his thick beard like a steel needle.
The couple chatted while eating, and finally had enough wine. Cheng Yaojin patted his belly and was about to rush to the front hall to take a look.
He saw his wife, Mrs. Cui, turning away and then walking over with a smile on her face, holding the chess box.
General Cheng, who could face mountains of swords and seas of fire without changing his expression, froze. "Madam..."
Mrs. Cui placed the chessboard on the clean desk, stretched out her hand, and gently tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes.
Even though she was wearing glasses, the lenses still couldn't stop the gleam of expectation emanating from Cui's moving eyes.
"Husband, if you have nothing to do, why don't you chat with me for a few games? I haven't talked with my husband for a long time."
"Then... um, since the lady wants to have sex, she should risk her life for her husband to accompany her." Cheng Yaojin could only touch his nose, braced himself and sat down again.
Hearing this, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but smile, raised her hand, habitually scratched the bridge of her husband's handsome nose and said, "Naughty..."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and began to argue with his wife about how many children he should let...
