At this time, Butcher Chen was angry, and the tough temperament of a pig-butcher was as dazzling as a firefly in the dark night.
He also glared fiercely at Wang Wenhua. Looking at his posture, he would probably take out the butcher's knife and give Wang Wenhua a white knife in and a red knife out in the next moment.
Wang Wenhua, who was still showing contempt at first, saw Butcher Chen's eyes widened, and his kneeling body suddenly softened.
Looking up from the angle of his sight, Butcher Chen looked like a giant, which made people tremble with fear.
His body went limp, and he could no longer even kneel down, and he fell straight to the side.
When other people saw this, they covered their noses one by one!
Why?
Because this Wang Wenhua has a history of being scared to wet his pants, not once, but twice. Everyone present has seen him wet his pants with their own eyes.
Even Li Xuan frowned slightly, then coughed lightly.
During this court meeting, if the Right Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty was so frightened that he peed his pants, he would be so fucking embarrassed that it would be a thousand years later.
Throughout the past five thousand years, I have never seen a prime minister-level central minister of that dynasty so scared that he peed in the court.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Li Xuan coughed lightly, but Butcher Chen really scared Wang Wenhua to the point of peeing.
After hearing Li Xuan's slight cough, Butcher Chen snorted at Wang Wenhua, and then withdrew his murderous gaze.
At this time, Wang Wenhua knelt straight again, but Li Xuan could still see that his legs were shaking!
This Wang Wenhua's courage was too small. He would be paralyzed by being stared at. If he was stared at for a long time, he would probably pee in fear.
But after Butcher Chen and Wang Wenhua acted like this, the atmosphere that had seemed very serious before softened, and some people even managed to hold back their laughter.
At this time Li Xuan said: "Everyone, get up, I don't mean to blame you!"
However, despite what he said, Li Xuan did not give up his previous plan at all, which was to use his righteousness to promote the attack on Jiguan Mountain.
"However, Jiguanshan and other rebels are intolerable. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the survival of our ancestors, Jiguanshan must be captured!"
Hearing Li Xuan's words and the decisive tone of his words, Fang Dongquan, who opposed the attack on Jiguan Mountain, was slightly surprised.
In the past, when it came to such big strategic decisions, although Li Xuan would participate in every meeting, most of the time he would sit on the throne and would not participate easily. Even if he did participate, he would not make decisions in advance personally.
After these ministers have discussed and come up with a result that everyone can accept, he will make a decision in accordance with the flow of the situation.
However, this time, it was a little different.
Fang Dongquan was surprised, while Liu Bagou frowned.
Although he had guessed that Li Xuan might say this before Li Xuan said this, when he actually heard this, he still couldn't help but frown.
My young master is still too young. If I want my young master to become a true eternal sage, it seems that I still have a long way to go.
However, Huang Xueren was extremely happy when he heard this. He did not expect that Li Xuan would support him, and he would support him openly at the court meeting, which surprised him greatly.
I even thought in my heart that if I have the support of Li Xuan in the future, then this Li Xuan has no real power and is just a puppet emperor, which will be enough to make my life in Huangzhushan easier, at least when I compete with Fang Dongquan in the future.
It gives me more confidence.
However, he obviously did not know that Li Xuan was not interested in the person. He only supported the attack on Jiguan Mountain, but it did not mean that he supported Huang Xueren.
Li Xuan was full of vigilance and vigilance towards the two real power factions, Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren. What he hoped most was that these two people would fight to the death, so that he, the puppet emperor, could slowly gain real power.
Otherwise, just relying on the so-called 'etiquette between monarchs and ministers, respect for superiors and inferiors' that Liu Bagou has always insisted on, there is no way for him to control real power. At most, he will be a mascot who is held high.
Normally, you may be respectful to yourself, but at the critical moment, you may hold a knife to your neck.
And this is not what Li Xuan wants!
Looking at the reactions of the people below, Li Xuan felt a little uneasy in his heart, fearing that someone below would say: Your Majesty, think twice!
Because this was the first time he tried to make a decision directly in a formal occasion like a court meeting.
And this attempt will affect his future choices. If Liu Bagou and the others do not raise clear objections, no matter why they do not object, then Li Xuan can confirm a concept, that is, he, the emperor, still has some influence.
If they are strong, they will have scruples if they want to oppose.
But if Liu Bagou, Fang Dongquan and the others opposed it without hesitation, it means that the emperor is still a puppet emperor, and they are very unwilling to take real power by themselves.
These two different possibilities represent two different choices for Li Xuan in the future.
If they do not object, then Li Xuan will selectively and slowly increase his influence in the future, expand step by step, and finally control real power.
If they object, then Li Xuan will not hesitate to slap himself in the face, and then give up the decision he just mentioned with any excuse, and then continue to bury his head like an ostrich, and continue to wait for a suitable opportunity, an either
Let yourself escape from this place, or give yourself the opportunity to take control of real power!
After Li Xuan finished speaking, the meeting hall once again fell into a strange atmosphere, and no one spoke.
After a while, Huang Xueren looked around, and then stepped forward to break the deadlock: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Jiguan Mountain is a treasonous one. I am willing to lead my army of the Tang Dynasty to destroy it!"
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw someone standing up to support me. Although personally it was Huang Xueren who originally supported the attack on Jiguan Mountain, but it didn't matter, because it meant that, at least in this matter, there was still Huang Xueren, Huang Zhushan
One of the two powerful factions supports him.
This is enough for Li Xuan. All he wants is to open a gap, so it doesn't matter if the gap is smaller.
After Huang Xueren spoke, Chen Tufu, who originally stood with Huang Xueren and supported the attack on Jiguan Mountain, quickly joined in and said: "Long live your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty is not something that those bastards from Jiguan Mountain can insult. I am willing to be the vanguard.
Flatten Jiguan Mountain!"
At this time, the General of the Guards had gradually moved away from Fang Dongquan, and Wang Danxu, who was gradually approaching Li Xuan, also said: "Your Majesty, the Guards have been training hard for many months, and now is the time to go to battle to prove their reputation.
I am willing to command the Guards to expand the territory for His Majesty!"
Seeing everyone talking one after another, Fang Dongquan's expression changed several times, but finally his aura suddenly changed. Then he stepped forward and said loudly: "I am willing to die for the great cause of the Tang Dynasty and your Majesty!"
When Huang Xueren and others heard Fang Dongquan's impassioned words, they all felt as if they had eaten flies. Damn, just now you were unswervingly opposed to the attack on Jiguan Mountain. As soon as you turned around, you forgot what you said.
He slapped himself in the face and said he wanted to hit Jiguan Mountain.
