The only question now is how determined the imperial court is. If they are determined enough, they can enter the mountain tomorrow. Although the mountain is big and Huangzhu Mountain is secretive enough, the officers and soldiers can always find them.
If you want to block the attacks of officers and soldiers in the future, you cannot sit back and wait for death. You must seize every opportunity to develop and strengthen yourself.
In the mountains, there is nothing that can increase strength faster than eating gangsters and annexing other bandit gangs.
Not only Qian Mengjiu and others agreed with Huang Xueren's suggestion, but Li Xuan himself also agreed. Although he knew very well that he was now a puppet emperor, he still felt it was necessary to express his own opinion on this matter.
So at this time, everyone heard Li Xuan, who was sitting on the 'dragon chair', cough slightly, and then everyone quickly became quiet.
Although everyone only regards Li Xuan as a puppet emperor, the puppet emperor is also an emperor, and the necessary respect on the surface should still be given to Li Xuan.
Especially in formal occasions like court meetings, you can use various tactful excuses to persuade Li Xuan, such as saying that your Majesty should think twice, but you must not directly oppose Li Xuan or even ignore Li Xuan.
Because in this case, you are not against Li Xuan, but against the Tang Dynasty itself.
To oppose the Tang Dynasty itself is equivalent to opposing Liu Bagou, or even opposing Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren.
Needless to say, Liu Bagou was a man who wholeheartedly wanted to be Zhuge Liang, play the game of assisting the young master, and regarded the Tang Dynasty as the greatest work in his life, and Li Xuan was the protagonist in this work.
Opposing the Tang Dynasty, or even slightly neglecting the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, can cause Liu Bagou to sneer.
Even Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren wanted to use Li Xuan as a brand to realize their dream of becoming the founding heroes of the country.
After seeing the noisy people quickly quiet down, Li Xuan felt a little bit superior like being an emperor.
No wonder so many people have wanted to be emperors since ancient times, but now they are just a puppet emperor, but Liu Bagou and the others have to support them.
If you take control of real power and truly become an emperor with real power, what will it feel like then?
It's probably more exciting than taking aphrodisiacs!
After seeing everyone quiet down, Li Xuancai slowly said: "What all the dear friends said is true. If you sit back and watch the rebels like Jiguanshan and ignore them, it will damage the majesty of our Tang Dynasty. If you attack them, then
The rear is unstable!"
When everyone heard these words, everyone's feelings were naturally different. Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren thought that Li Xuan was being confused, and what he said seemed neutral. Both sides agreed, but it made no sense.
It's all nonsense.
But after Liu Bagou heard these words, he secretly praised in his heart that the young master he assisted was becoming more and more like an emperor.
Maintaining a detached neutral position in the disputes between ministers is a necessary ability for a ruler.
Unless absolutely necessary, as a supreme ruler, you must not personally intervene in the struggle between ministers, because doing so would mean that you have stepped down from the altar and become the same role as ordinary ministers.
But Liu Bagou hadn't been satisfied for long when he heard Li Xuan say: "But..."
The word 'but' immediately attracted everyone's attention. The emperor Li Xuan said the word 'but' in the middle of his speech. This is not a good sign. It shows that Li Xuan is dissatisfied with the current situation.
And decided to personally participate in the decision-making.
And what kind of decision will Li Xuan make? Will he favor Huang Xueren or Fang Dongquan? In this regard, most people pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Only Liu Bagou frowned slightly. He didn't think it was a good thing for Li Xuan to make the decision himself.
But Li Xuan's words had already been spoken, and even Liu Bagou, as the prime minister, could not interrupt Li Xuan's words at will. After all, this went against the rule of king and minister that he had always insisted on.
Li Xuan naturally saw the changes in everyone's faces, but he didn't care.
My dangerous situation has never gotten better. From the time I first arrived until now, I have been a rebel that officers and soldiers have tried their best to capture.
If you don't want to be caught by officers and soldiers and die late, you have to use every method to reverse the situation.
Now, Li Xuan saw an opportunity to reverse the situation.
So he said without hesitation: "It's enough that the first-class rebels in Jiguan Mountain are unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but they dare to hurt the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
The envoy is the face of the Tang Dynasty. I am so humiliated that I cannot sleep or eat well. I am afraid that the foundation of my ancestors will be destroyed by my hands. It is not a pity for me to die like this. I am afraid that I will not be able to see the late emperor!"
After what Li Xuan said, the illiterate generals didn't feel much at all. They just felt that Li Xuan had been wronged and felt angry in their hearts.
But to the ears of Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua, who were scholars, it was like a stormy sea.
Why? The Lord humiliates the minister and dies!
For these scholars who have been reading the books of saints and sages for many years and have almost damaged their brains, there is nothing that they care about more than these great righteousness and honors.
Even if they don't care, some of the concepts they have formed through so many years of studying are still deeply engraved in their bones.
So even if they are pretending on the surface, they have to pretend!
Immediately, the three scholars Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and Wang Wenhua knelt down together, and Liu Bagou even shouted directly: "I deserve death for my crime!"
These three people suddenly knelt down and said that they deserved death, which made Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, Chen Tufu and others dumbfounded.
It’s not like you had the ears of the envoys sent to Jiguan Mountain cut off. You are guilty of a shitty crime, and you claim that you deserve death.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was a bit strange. The illiterate generals looked stunned, while the three prime ministers who could read and write knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said that they deserved death.
Butcher Chen looked at Liu Bagou and the others who were kneeling on the ground. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but said to Wang Wenhua who was kneeling next to him: "Right Prime Minister, what crime have you committed?"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Wenhua, Liu Bagou, and Qian Mengjiu almost choked to death!
Now that he is so serious and lofty, it is a moment that can be written into the history books. Butcher Chen can actually ask such a stupid question. It is really an insult to the gentlemen and gentlemen to serve as ministers in the same dynasty as his son.
!
And we have a fart sin. We are just doing it according to the rules in the book. After all, it is written in many books. When the emperor is wronged or insulted, the ministers will kneel down one by one and say that they are guilty.
Deserve to die.
As for Chen Tufu and other generals, they don't understand because they are all despicable warriors. As a scholar, he disdains to be acquainted with these warriors.
So after Wang Wenhua heard Butcher Chen's question, he just snorted secretly, and then gave him a look of contempt!
Seeing this contemptuous look, Butcher Chen's mood suddenly worsened. Damn it, you, a weakling who peed his pants, how dare you despise me!
