The Mingzhao Palace fell into a deathly silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
The civil and military officials who were drinking and drinking each other stopped their glasses and looked at Li Danqing with strange expressions.
The palace ladies who were walking among the tables carrying a dazzling array of delicacies also stopped one after another. They wanted to raise their heads and take a look, but they did not dare to move rashly and could only stand there.
Xiahou Boyang was stunned and his forehead was dripping with sweat for a moment. He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to say something, but felt that something was wrong. He quickly turned his head to look at Ji Qi on the high platform beside him, and knelt down with a plop.
He said in fear: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, is aware that this Li Danqing confuses right and wrong, confuses right and wrong, and traps the minister. I am loyal to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, and have no other ideas!"
Li Danqing's words are of course taken out of context.
Ji Qi is by no means a mediocre king, so he can naturally understand it.
Everyone was shocked not because Li Danqing exposed Xiahou Boyang's "disloyal heart" with one sentence, but because they were simply surprised by the Li Shizi's unobtrusive speech.
On the other hand, Xiahou Boyang's fearful attitude was indeed ridiculously extreme.
The rest of the three palaces and nine divisions looked at Xiahou Boyang in silence, as if they were not surprised that the head of the three palaces, Longxiang Palace, would do such a thing.
"Hahaha! Master Xiahou is loyal, how could I not know?" Ji Qi laughed three times at this moment, breaking the almost dead atmosphere in Mingzhao Hall.
"Get up, Prince Li is joking with you! You! You are just a little confused!"
Ji Qi's laughter immediately disintegrated the dull atmosphere in the hall. The ministers laughed and everyone in the palace performed their duties. It was as if everything just now had never happened.
Xiahou Boyang quickly stood up, sat there, bowed his head and drank, no longer pestering Li Danqing - Ji Qi's words not only exempted him from guilt, but also sealed Li Danqing's rebellious words just now.
Xiahou Boyang likes to figure out what he wants from people, so he naturally knows that he can no longer be aggressive.
Ji Qi was very satisfied with Xiahou Boyang's cautiousness. At this moment, he turned his head to look at Li Danqing, raised his wine glass, and said with emotion: "If the spirit of Mu Lin in heaven knows, Aiqing can change her past and do it for me, Wu Yang."
After killing the enemy in a bloody bath, it’s time to rest in peace at the foot of the spring.”
Li Danqing stood up, raised his glass and said respectfully: "It's all your Majesty's good intentions. If it weren't for this trip to Yangshan, Danqing would still be in a state of confusion and wasting his life."
Li Danqing was very fierce when facing others, but when facing Ji Qi, he was surprisingly respectful.
If it weren't for the bold words he just said, it would be difficult for everyone to connect the respectful Li Danqing with the unruly Prince Li before him.
However, Ji Qi really didn't seem to care about what Li Danqing just said. He smiled, raised his glass high and said, "Here's to Li Mulin!"
Upon seeing this, all the officials quickly stood up and shouted with them: "Respect General Li!"
After a drink, the officials sat down. Ji Qi squinted at Li Danqing, with an expression that could not hide his admiration: "General, come here! Tell me, a civil and military official, how do you rely on your hands?"
Tens of thousands of people defeated Youyun’s 400,000-strong army!?”
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials turned their heads to look at Li Danqing, and the princes and princesses on the high platform also looked sideways.
Most of them were not ordinary people. Of course they understood how ferocious the 400,000-strong army gathered by Youyun was. Li Danqing defeated the army by himself.
Even Li Mulin could not match such an achievement, and everyone was filled with curiosity.
There are many rumors about this. Some people say that Li Mulin hides millions of secret troops. As long as Li Danqing gives the order, they will move in full force. The 600,000 White Wolf Army can still keep the Liao people away from the country.
In addition, it is natural that millions of Anbu want to strangle the 400,000 Youyun Army.
Some people also say that when the Youyun Army was defeated that day, there was a fire in Yingshui County that turned into a prairie fire. Li Danqing was recognized by the stars of Yangshan and got the help of gods and men, so he burned it all with a fire
Youyun people.
Some people even say that Prince Li is the reincarnation of an immortal and is blessed with great fortune...
There are many things about this, but they all seem quite nonsense, but precisely because of this, the world has become more and more curious about this matter. For a time, millions of civil and military officials, young and old, all stared at Li Li with their bright eyes.
Pictures.
Looking around, among everyone present, only the little princess named Ji Yao was still fighting with the food on the table. Only this time, her opponent changed from roast chicken to a plate of peaches.
Crispy.
…
"Ahem!" Li Shizi coughed and sat upright at that time.
This is obviously what Li Danqing likes and is best at - talking nonsense.
He glanced at everyone present, used the wine glass in his hand as a gavel, slapped the table, and spoke loudly.
"It is said that it was a quiet night, the summer cicadas had not yet finished chirping, and the autumn leaves had not yet yellowed."
"My son, I was so interested that I watched the sky at night and saw the fierce star shining brightly in the north. I knew that someone in the world of Wuyang was eyeing me..."
"My prince has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he has great ambitions and loves the people. It is the right way to repay the emperor's wishes on the golden platform and support the jade dragon to die for the emperor."
"Your Majesty has been as kind to me as a mountain, so naturally I had to share your worries for Your Majesty, so I worked hard and slept hard at night, thinking a lot..."
The officials around him wanted to find out what secret Li Dan was hiding, so they all listened attentively, but Prince Li was eloquent, saying something here and there, but it seemed like he didn't say anything.
Xiahou Boyang, who was sitting opposite him, frowned, and the palace master Si Ming beside him was also confused. Only Yin Wujiang, who was sitting in the corner, had a faint smile on his lips and drank calmly.
"Ahem."
"I already know your love, loyalty and devotion to your country."
"I have also experienced the matter of bravely killing the enemy. Let's focus on it." Ji Qi, who was still sitting on the throne, couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and said.
Li Shizi curled his lips with some dissatisfaction when he heard this. He had been brewing this story in his heart for a long time. He even lowered his face and asked Lu Shude and Shi Ziju for advice, just to make the story sound magnificent enough.
The protagonist, Prince Li himself, is stalwart enough.
He originally wanted to rely on this story to become famous in Wuyang City. It would be best to attract some young and beautiful girls to become his admirers. Finally, he would become more fanatical, such as breaking into his room in the middle of the night and doing something to him.
Things that are worse than animals...
Prince Li, whose beautiful vision was shattered, pondered for a while: "The important point..."
He picked up the wine glass in front of the case and took a sip, and then said: "That's right, a soldier from Youyun came. This prince calmly analyzed the situation calmly in the face of danger. Then he drew his sword like a dragon, took the enemy's head, and then put away the sword and returned.
Sheath, blood will not stain your clothes."
"After repeating this for 400,000 times, Youyun's army will be defeated by itself."
"..."
"..."
As Li Danqing finished speaking, Mingzhao Hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
"Nonsense!" The old man sitting at the desk next to Xiahou Boyang slapped the desk and stood up, pointed at Li Danqing's nose and cursed angrily.
The old man's name is Lu Chenji, and he is the head of Guiyu Palace, one of the three palaces.
At this moment, the face of the old man who is over sixty years old is red, the horns on his chin are trembling, and he is pointing.
Li Danqing scolded: "Are you fooling us?"
Li Danqing seemed extremely calm when faced with the responsibilities of this respected old man. He blinked and said in confusion: "These are all facts. Why did Mr. Lu say this?"
"Realistically? That's 400,000 people! Even if he stood there and let Prince Li chop him with one knife, Prince Li would have been injured for more than half a year!" Lu Chenji said with a cold snort.
Li Danqing asked: "Then I really want to ask the old gentleman, is the 400,000 Youyun army dead?"
"Of course he's dead! Unless you, Prince Li, committed fraud in the military report!" Lu Chenji responded sternly.
"Does the imperial court have reinforcements?" Li Danqing asked again.
Lu Chenji looked a little ashamed when he heard this: "The imperial court is fighting on two sides, and the Western Region is not peaceful, but it has already ordered the nearby Lanshan County and Yanma County to gather troops..."
"Master Lu, just answer the question." Li Danqing interrupted the other party at this moment.
Lu Chenji was a little angry and said in a deep voice: "Before we even waited for reinforcements, Youyun's army was already defeated."
Li Danqing didn't care about the old man's sophistry. At that time, he smiled with satisfaction and said: "Since there are no reinforcements, it's also because Youyun's 400,000-strong army will be killed."
"I dare to ask your lord, the 400,000 Youyun people were not killed by Li Danqing and his disciples with one knife, but were they frightened to death by the loud shouts made by Master Lu after he slapped the case?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
The meaning behind Li Danqing's words was very clear - since I hold Yingshui County, I have the final say on how the Youyun people died!
Lu Chenji was so angry that his face turned pale and he was stunned. All the civil and military officials present were also stunned.
The imperial court had already spread rumors that Li Danqing would be rewarded with a false position, in order to let Li Danqing understand his situation and be the mascot of the 600,000-strong White Wolf Army with peace of mind. Only in this way could he survive.
Opportunity.
But since Li Danqing arrived on the scene, he has always been aggressive and sharp.
For a moment, everyone couldn't tell whether Li Danqing didn't understand the meaning conveyed to him in the rumor leaked by the court, or whether he really wasn't afraid of death!
Everyone who thought of this turned their heads and looked at His Majesty the Emperor on the high platform.
But Ji Qi just played with the wine glass with one hand and stared at Li Danqing playfully, as if he had no intention of getting involved in the dispute.
"Shuzi is arrogant!"
"Shuzi is arrogant!"
The old Confucian scholar was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He was full of knowledge, but when faced with Li Danqing's sharp words, he had nowhere to use it. He could only blush and curse like this.
But Li Danqing had no intention of getting entangled with the old man. After saying this, he turned to look at Ji Qi who was watching from the high platform, bowed his hands and said.
"His Majesty is a wise man, and his achievements in cultivating martial virtues are well-known throughout the country, and his virtues of loving the people like a son are spread throughout the world."
"Yingshui County has encountered a disaster. I know that Your Majesty must be extremely anxious and immediately mobilize all the Wuyang ministries."
"However, there are disobedient people who confuse the Holy Spirit, damage His Majesty's holy name, and make Your Majesty's people suffer. I have the courage to represent the unjust souls of Yingshui County who died in vain. The heroes who died in the battle implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the first battle of Yingshui County, and the three wars."
The civil and military officials of the nine departments of the government have neglected their duties!"
"To comfort the souls of the dead! To put things in perspective!"
boom.
As soon as he said this, the wine glass in Ji Qi's hand suddenly shattered.
All the officials were shocked, and the palace gate was silent.
