Chapter 25:
After Li Shiming and Liu Bing left, Empress Zhangsun carefully looked at the two lists. She was the Empress of Tang, and she knew what she should do. Although Zhangsun Wuji was her brother, this world belonged to her husband and child. She knew which was more important. His Majesty was giving them a chance!
"Brother, oh brother, you have gone too far this time. You even want to use this Queen. Is the Zhangsun Clan already like this?”Empress Zhangsun looked at the first name list. The striking name Zhangsun Chong was like a slap to the Emperor's face, a slap to her face, and now a slap to the Great Tang's face!
Were these people trying to take credit for their lives? You want to take such a big credit? Don't you have such a big appetite? The Tang father and son did not say a word. Did they really think that they did not know? Tang Jian was originally a little afraid of His Majesty. With this, he reckoned that even if His Majesty wanted to use him in the future, he would not do it. He did not want to play with him anymore!
"Cheng Chuliang requests an audience with Your Majesty!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall!
"So it's Chu Liang. His Majesty isn't here. Come in quickly!”
Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi looked at each other. Why was it a woman's voice? However, since they had already let her in, it was not good for them not to go in. After all, they felt that the person inside should be Empress Zhangsun. However, there were some things that Empress Zhangsun could not decide. Moreover, it was not good to tell Empress Zhangsun about their matters. Even if they did, she could not interfere.
"Yes!"
However, she was the empress, so they could only let the chamberlain push the door open. Then, the two brothers slowly entered the hall. When they looked up, it was indeed Empress Zhangsun. There was a faint smell of alcohol on the two of them. Empress Zhangsun could smell it from far away!
"Cheng Chu Liang, Cheng Chu Mo greets the Empress!”
"No need to be polite. There are no outsiders here, and you are all Fuma. Although you are not married, you are still family.”
" This..." Cheng Chuliang looked at Empress Zhangsun awkwardly. He seemed to have something he didn't want to say, but he couldn't just keep quiet, right?
"Nephew, there's no harm in saying it. In a while, this widow will personally tell His Majesty. His Majesty just went out in a bad mood. If you don't want to say it, you can wait here for His Majesty!”Looking at the two brothers, Zhangsun knew that there were some things they did not want him to know! However, he did not say much. It was a rule that the harem could not interfere in politics!
"Empress, you must be joking. I'm only here to resign. I hope Empress can pass this resignation letter to His Majesty. We brothers still have some matters to attend to when we return, so we'll take our leave here!”Cheng Chu Bi casually handed the resignation letter directly to the chamberlain!
Cheng Chuliang took a look at Empress Zhangsun, thought for a while, and handed in his resignation letter. He sighed. This time, it was not just them. Everyone in their small circle was aggrieved, so now this group of people began to cause trouble!
Empress Zhangsun's face was ashen as she took the two resignation letters. Now, even if His Majesty wanted to keep his face, he would not be able to do so. Now that he was publicly resigning, Empress Zhangsun felt that this was probably not over. These two brothers had always been honest and never fought for credit. Their names were not on the two lists this time, but what was the situation now?
"Chuliang, did something happen to Chubi? Why did he suddenly want to resign? However, what kind of problems could not be solved in the officialdom?”Zhangsun tried his best to sound as gentle as possible. This time, even she was dumbfounded.
"The Empress is fine. It's just that my father found a teacher to teach us the art of war and strategy. I believe that the Empress also knows how precious this military strategy is. We brothers really don't want to give up this opportunity!”Cheng Chubi wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Cheng Chuliang. Cheng Chuliang could only casually say some reasons!
"Oh? This Bengong is curious, which teacher is it? Was it Li Ji or Medicine Master (Li Jing)? Why are these two people taking in disciples today?”
Zhangsun felt that something was wrong. If they accepted disciples, the whole world would know about it. However, there was no news from him. Zhangsun thought that they were lying and deceiving her. Moreover, Zhangsun also noticed the look in Cheng Chubi's eyes. It was a look of disdain and contempt. It seemed that they hated her very much!
"Empress must be joking. We don't have the right to take them as our masters, but they don't have the right to teach us either. They're just defeated by our senior brothers. They're still far from being able to teach us.”Cheng Chubi looked at Empress Zhangsun with pride, as if he didn't care about Medicine Master and the others at all!
"Presumptuous! What great courage, since you dare to deceive this prince, do you really think this prince is easy to deceive? The successor of the Ghost Valley? Who was the successor of Phantom Valley? Why hasn't bengong heard of it?!" Empress Zhangsun slammed the table and stood up. The anger on her face was not concealed at all! The successor of the Ghost Valley? Where the hell was he going to find a successor of Phantom Valley? How many years had it been since someone had come out of Phantom Valley?
Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi pressed their bodies low and kept silent. Empress Zhangsun was simply furious! Just as she was about to get angry, a furious roar made her shut up!
"Shut up! Isn't it embarrassing enough?" The three of them looked back and saw Li Shiming already at the door of the hall. Liu Bing looked at the two brothers and couldn't say anything. They didn't give His Majesty any face and just resigned!
Li Shiming strode over to the two brothers and helped them up. This scene shocked Empress Zhangsun. She had only seen such an emperor when Li Shiming was still the king of Qin. After that, she rarely saw Li Shiming like this!
"If you want to go, then go. Zhen knows. Zhen has let you down!”Li Shi Min had no words to say. He had never felt so helpless before. He wanted to make these people stay, but he knew that he couldn't make them stay anymore. That's right, it was a group of people!
"Cheng Chubi, Cheng Huailiang thanks Your Majesty. We will take our leave first!”Cheng Chu Bi and Cheng Huai Liang were also a little sad. They knew that this wasn't His Majesty's fault, but this result couldn't be changed!
After two steps, Cheng Chu Bi suddenly turned around and whispered,"The disciples of the Phantom Valley will come out of the mountain once every two years! I hope Your Majesty will cherish it!"
With that, the two brothers slowly left the palace! Li Shiming looked dispirited as he slowly walked to the Dragon Table and sat down. He knew that this matter was not over yet. He did not need to care about his face today!
