Chapter 40:
"Unfilial son, shut up!" Li Tai was happily looking at the trembling servants. He liked this kind of fun. He liked to see people kneeling at his feet, so he kept fighting for that position. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to that position. It wouldn't be long before he could reach that position.
The sudden shout stunned Li Tai. He was very familiar with this voice. He turned his head stiffly and saw Li Shiming in casual clothes. He looked at Li Shiming's face again. The face that used to smile at him was now livid. Li Tai had never seen such a face before.
"Imperial Father, you have to seek justice for your son. Fang Yi 'ai has gone too far, not allowing your son to enter the peach forest. He has no respect for the Imperial Family at all, Imperial Father must punish him!”Li Tai ran over crying, feeling that he had suffered a lot. Zhangsun Wuji sneered. He was just worried that he could not find an excuse, but this little fatty had dug his own grave!
"Oh? Punishment?" Li Shiming was so angry that he laughed and said lightly,"Then how should we deal with Fang Yiai according to your suggestion? Can I hear your method?"
Li Tai still hadn't reacted. He thought that his father hadn't entered the peach forest, so he boldly said,""Fang Yiai is disloyal to the royal family and has no respect for the emperor. He should be banished to the army and demoted to a commoner!”
"Is this little fatty really courting death?”Cheng Zhijie said to himself. He didn't expect Li Tai to really dare to speak. Didn't you see that his father was still sitting there? Moreover, your father wanted Fang Yiai to work for him every day. You're really not bad!
"Minister Fang, what do you think?" Li Shi Min's meaning was, Fang Xuan Ling, you just need to resolve this matter, leave some face for Li Tai, and let Fang clan befriend Li Tai. He thought that Fang Xuan Ling would just say a few words, but now that you've slapped him in the face, you still want to let it go?
"The King of Wei's words are reasonable. In this humble subject's opinion, Fang Yi 'ai should be banished to the army, exterminate the three tribes, be banished to the border, and be demoted to slavery! Please execute it, Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling was already angry, and now he was even angrier. My son wasn't willing to be an official, but your Li family wanted him to enter the royal court no matter what. If he didn't enter, you even beat him up. Now your son is even more powerful!
Li Shi Min obviously didn't expect Fang Xuanling to say this. He looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise, but Fang Xuanling remained emotionless. Even the others didn't say a word. They just looked at Li Tai coldly. They weren't on Li Tai's side, so they didn't have a good impression of this guy. Zhangsun was his enemy, so it would be strange if he said something nice!
Just as the atmosphere was getting awkward, a man rushed over. When he saw Fang Xuanling, he immediately ran over and saluted him. He then ran to Li Jingren and whispered a few words to him. Li Jingren's face was extremely good after that. He nodded and took out a few wine jars. There were three different types of wine.
The people in the peach forest were also curious and slowly came out to take a look. The person who came was Fang Yi 'ai's butler. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he said,"I'm afraid today's banquet will end here!”After hearing this, the crowd began to panic.
"Everyone, listen to this old servant's explanation!" Seeing that it was quiet below, the old butler spoke again,"My young master brewed some good wine and wanted to invite friends to have a taste of it. However, he didn't expect someone to hurt people because of this wine, causing innocent people to suffer. Therefore, the banquet was canceled.”
"Men, bring the wine out!" The old butler waved his hand and the servants took out all the wine. After they were arranged in order, the old butler spoke again.
"These are three types of fine wine brewed by my young master. I originally invited everyone here to taste the wine and admire the flowers, and to give the wine a name.”A row of servants stood out with the same wine jars.
"This first wine is the one that everyone drank just now. Young Master bestowed it with the name 'Tears of the Commoners'!”As he spoke, the two servants pulled open a piece of paper. On it were the words "Tears of the Common People". Everyone felt that these three words already had the demeanor of a great scholar!
Then, the old butler continued,"Young Master said that the tears of the common people make the common people cry. This wine should not be born, so he specially sent this old servant to deal with it.”The old butler looked at everyone and said,"Men, smash it for me. Don't leave a single jar!"”
"No, stop!" "Have mercy!"
" Bang!" Jar after jar of fine wine fell. After a while, there was not a single jar of complete wine left! Everyone's heart ached. This was a top-grade wine!
"This second type of wine is named by Young Master as 'Noble Offense'!”The same words,"Wang Hou Sin", lit up. Everyone felt that it was not good. When they saw Li Shiming's face, it was already dark. At this time, Wei Zheng stood up and clapped his hands,"This name is not bad. I wonder how to handle this wine? This old master wants to see!"
"Greetings, old man. Young Master said that since it was a noble's sin, then the sin should be on the ground, so this wine should be poured on the ground!”This butler was randomly found by Fang Yiai. He did not know these officials at all, so he did not know Wei Zheng.
"Alright, alright! I'm Wei Zheng. Can I handle this wine myself?”Wei Zheng took a step forward and stroked his beard with a smile! The old butler was shocked, then nodded and said,"If Young Master knew that Lord Wei personally handled it, he would definitely be happy.”
At this moment, Li Shi Min already knew that he had to give the court an explanation. Li Tai should have gone to his territory, but he had not left. Someone in the court had already impeached him, and now such a thing had happened. It was not easy for him to protect the consequences.
Everyone watched as the wine poured onto the ground, but no one spoke. With Wei Zheng's status, no one dared to stop him. Even Li Shiming had no choice. Before everyone could catch their breath, the third wine appeared. The exquisite wine jar showed that this wine was extraordinary.
"This third type of wine is called Cold Scholar Bone! The young master didn't say much, but he said that the bones of the poor scholar should not appear again. Someone pour them into the river! River fish eat bones!" The servants poured the third type of wine into the river, and everyone understood what it meant. The river fish ate the bones, proving that the poor scholars could no longer serve, and also proving that Fang Yiai was unwilling to be an official! He would rather enter the river and let the river fish eat his bones than serve as an official!
