Li Er's scalp went numb as he watched from the side.
The Guanyin maid had followed him for so many years, and no one knew Empress Zhangsun's character better than him. She had never been a kind person. Although she seemed to be the mother of the world, that was because she was now the empress!
Du He also did not expect Empress Zhangsun to actually hide behind the screen. Hearing that she wanted a knife, she straightened her neck and said loudly,
"As the saying goes, in a golden age, it must be the wise ruler and virtuous minister who is upright. Today, the upright minister said something straightforward, and the virtuous minister wants to kill him.”
You f * cking--
No matter how good Empress Zhangsun's temper was, at this moment, she was repeatedly refuted by Du He's words. Her beautiful face was as cold as ice, and she was so angry that she could not speak. She believed that there was no official in the world who was more straightforward than Du He!
Du He was also puzzled. Why didn't an empress like you stay in the Hall of Political Affairs and come to listen to me criticize you? Isn't this asking for a snub? Now, both of us can't get off the stage. Today, I can't lower my head. If I lower my head this time, don't think about criticizing anyone in the court in the future!
"You said that it's the father's fault for not teaching the son, and it's the mother's fault for not teaching the daughter? BenGong agrees with these words."
Empress Zhangsun took a deep breath and calmed the anger in her heart. However, when she saw that Du He's face actually revealed a kind smile at this time, she was instantly furious. She gritted her teeth and said,
"But bengong asks you, according to what you said, did you get your father's permission to report to His Majesty? If not, then it is your father's fault for not teaching your son. Your father, Du Ruhui, is also at fault!”
"That's wrong!"
Du He sneered and raised her head as she said loudly,
"My father has been bedridden for a long time and it takes a lot of effort to speak. During the morning court session, he dragged his sick body and endured his illness. He repeatedly instructed me to be silent in the court, but as a son, how could I be at ease when I saw my father's illness worsen because he was seeking an official position for his son? This is the same as Princess beating up the Imperial Censor for her father. If the Empress says that I am wrong, then the Princess is also wrong!”
Why did this brat have such a sharp tongue? Empress Zhangsun only felt a headache. Seeing that she could not win against him, she could not help but look at Li Er, seeking his help.
Li Er was also unhappy. What kind of grudge did this kid have with the royal family? He came to visit me in the afternoon and the empress in the afternoon. If he continued to make trouble, he might even visit the Retired Emperor!
Li Er's heart skipped a beat. He asked with a fake smile,
"Du He, your father, Du Ruhui, is bedridden. You are defending your father against injustice. This is filial piety, but what about your mother, Madam Du? Didn't she discipline you properly? If it was as you said, your mother would have let you visit me in the morning court, then your mother was in the wrong!”
"All these years, my mother went to the Mercy Temple every day to pray for my father!”
Du He's expression was solemn as she retorted," All these years, my father was bedridden and was taken care of by my mother. In order for my father to recover soon, my mother washed her face with tears, ate vegetarian food, and chanted Buddha. What's wrong with such a virtuous wife? Moreover, my mother is not an official, so she is different from the Empress. How can she be compared?!”
Li Er was also anxious. Seeing that he couldn't win against Du He, he even had the intention to flip the table. He slammed the dragon table in anger and roared,"Zhen doesn't care, zhen won't allow you to be the empress!”
"Your Majesty, why do you still want to block the audience?”
Du He's tone was faint as he sighed and said,"It seems that when I reported the matter of His Majesty blocking the audience in the morning court, His Majesty punished himself by fasting for a day, but it was completely ineffective. If it was effective, he should be able to distinguish between right and wrong! I dare to ask Your Majesty to fast for another day to show that good advice has entered your ears and become a warning!”
Li Er was speechless.
Empress Zhangsun was speechless.
The Imperial Palace attendants were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their heads. The questions were deafening and almost shattered the two people's courage.
Li He was even more direct. He fell to the ground with a wail and pretended to faint. He closed his eyes and cursed in his heart. What sin had he committed in this life? Why was his immediate superior this censor? He was simply poisonous. It was not enough to criticize the Empress, but now he was going to criticize the Emperor?!
