Chapter 21:
However, Du Ruhui didn't bother with them at all. You want me to die with you? What a joke! I won't fall for your trap! What can you do if I'm not feeling well? If you're not convinced, come and bite me!
"Does this old bastard really think that we can't do anything to you? Since you're heartless, don't blame us for being heartless! At most, we'll all die together!" Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui's arrogant face and was furious!
"Ruhui has indeed been feeling unwell recently. Your Majesty, please let the imperial physician in the palace treat Ruhui. I hope Your Majesty will grant me this!”Fang Xuanling took a step forward and provoked Du Ruhui." I'm the one who's scheming. Today, I'll let you understand why I have this name. Do you really think we can't do anything to you?"
"F * ck! Old Fang, you're cheating me!" This was Du Ruhui's first thought. How could he not understand that as long as he entered the palace, this banquet would probably not go away. Could he run away after treating her? That was impossible! This was a vicious move that would bring him down with him. He had not expected Fang Xuanling to play this trick on him!
"Yes! Xuanling is right. This time, Ruhui can also let the imperial doctor treat him properly. It seems that your poor health is already famous. If I don't let the imperial doctor treat my beloved minister properly, there will probably be officials coming to find trouble with me again!”
Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui's frail appearance and was a little worried. He had just heard from Tang Shanshi that he knew some medical theories, but he had asked Du Ruhui to resign. It could be seen that Du Ruhui's illness was not light, and from what he said, he actually knew where Sun Simiao was? All these years, he had been searching for him, but he had never been careful. It seemed that he had to keep a close eye on him recently. Otherwise, this kid might play something up again!
Li Shiming had many things on his mind, the most important of which was Tang Shanshi and his group. It was obvious that these people had already criticized the court's selection of materials, and they did not even look up to them. If this continued, these people would probably really hate officialdom. Their words even revealed their disdain for the so-called talents of the new generation!
Li Shimin thought about what Empress Zhangsun had said to him. As long as he wasn't stupid, he would understand. These people were only what he saw, but what about those he didn't see? How could he not know what Zhangsun Chong was capable of? But now, he was almost a fourth-grade official.
He couldn't be compared to Su Dingfang and the others. He originally thought that Zhangsun Wuji might have helped him complete some official duties, so he was promoted faster. Now, it seemed that it wasn't too fast. It was very f * cking fast. He reckoned that this matter of impersonating others to receive credit might have been done many times.
The most important thing was that he knew all of these people's names. Except for Fang Yi 'ai, who had a bad reputation, the others were not talented and had always been the most sensible. However, there was not a single Rank 6 among these people. They were the descendants of the High Duke, so how could they not get a Rank 6 official position? Li Shi Min did not say anything about this, but it did not mean that he did not know. He also turned a blind eye to the Meng Yin descendants, but now, something was wrong!
"Xuan Ling! Fang Yi 'ai is a good general, there are some things that I don't want to say to you, but it doesn't mean that I'm really old and blind! Let's end this matter here. Your eldest son is also Rank-4, right? They are still young!"
Li Shiming's words made the others tremble. Although Li Shiming's face was expressionless, they knew that His Majesty was really angry. Moreover, they had gone too far! After all, they were all his biological children, but there were still grades among biological children.
"I know what you are thinking. There is nothing wrong with the descendants of Meng Yin, but I want virtuous people. If anyone blocks my path of choosing virtuous people, you all know without needing me to say it. The talents of the world are all in the world. I am not joking. Of course, you can also treat it as a joke!”
Li Shiming looked at Fang Xuanling and the others with a smile on his face. The few of them immediately knelt down. They knew how vicious Li Shiming was. His words had made it clear that their credit had come to an end. No one could use this method anymore. Otherwise, it would be more practical to directly be reborn! They also knew that Tang Shanshi and the others had already caught His Majesty's eye. Birds of a feather flock together. How bad could those who could play with Su Dingfang be? And there was also a teacher that even Su Dingfang had to respect!
"We deserve to die!" Zhangsun Wuji wanted to cry. He knew better than anyone else that he had arranged for the Emperor to leave the palace this time. The credit this time was really too great. Zhangsun Wuji thought that Tang Shanshi was just an abandoned child who had been chased out of the family and did not deserve such a reputation.
Therefore, he secretly went to Empress Zhangsun and said some things. He said that Tang Shanshi had no talent and no virtue. He definitely did not think of this method. He must have eavesdropped somewhere. Some time ago, Zhangsun Chong happened to be investigating the disaster situation.
In other words, this credit was given to Zhangsun Chong. Empress Zhangsun did not know about this at all, so he chose to believe in his brother. After all, Zhangsun Chong was his biological nephew. It was understandable for him to fight for some benefits for his family!
"You deserve to die ten thousand deaths, you all indeed deserve to die ten thousand deaths. If this zhen had not made Su Dingfang happy, none of you would have been able to escape! They are people that We value and are left for the Great Tang. Do you understand what We said?”
When Li Shiming spoke, the few of them almost fell to the ground. This time, they had offended the Emperor, but there were also people who were fine. That was Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong, plus Wei Zheng and Wei Heizi. They all treated their children equally!
Wei Shuyu would walk the path of a remonstrant in the future. Moreover, he was as stubborn as Wei Zheng. Moreover, no one gave him face. Therefore, Wei Shuyu's path was more difficult than the average person's. Wei Zheng also disdained to do these things!
As for Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong's children, both of them had been arranged to be in the army. As for Yuchi Huan, it might be because she was too young, and there had been too many arrangements recently. Yuchi Gong was also embarrassed to throw a child who had not been crowned into the army camp, so he delayed it. Cheng Zhijie's family was almost done! The two of them were the loyal kind. Li Shiming had seen their children before. They were definitely a deterrent!
"I'm just giving you a reminder. You don't have to be like this! You all know what to do, so I won't say anymore!”Li Shi Min was very satisfied with the current situation. It would be good if you were obedient and did things. It was as if I would mistreat your children!
