Following Li Shiming's words, the censor who had been jumping up and down could only retreat silently.
Wei Zheng smiled slightly and hid his hands in his sleeves. He went back to doze off.
He had already done what he wanted to do. Now, it was up to Cheng Chuyou to save himself.
"Since Your Majesty has allowed it, this lowly subject will read it aloud.”
"This is actually not a memorial. It's just half of a poem that this lowly official has written.”
"I have been thinking, what is the purpose of being an official?”
"For power? For wealth? Or was it because of his superior status?”
"Neither!"
"If we're talking about wealth, my Cheng family naturally doesn't lack money. Isn't it better for me to stay at home and wait for death?”
"If you want a higher status, considering my status in Chang 'an, no one will dare to bully me.”
"Because the last person who bullied me had his legs broken by my father.”
Cheng Chuyou said a bunch of brainless words, and the entire hall was already in discussion.
Although everyone knew about this, no one dared to say it in front of Li Shiming.
Cheng Chuyou was the first to do so.
"Next, this subject will read this half of the Fu. Your Majesty, uncles, and ministers, please help me correct them.”
After saying that, Cheng Chuyou opened the memorial in his hand.
"Ah! It was the six countries that destroyed the six countries, not Qin. The Qin clan is the Qin clan, not the world."
"Sigh! If the six countries love their own people, it will be enough to resist Qin. If the State of Qin once again loved the people of the six countries, then it could become a monarch for thousands of generations after three generations. Who could destroy the whole clan?”
"The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and later generations mourn.”
"If later generations mourn for it and do not learn from it, it will also cause later generations to mourn for later generations.”
Cheng Chuyou's every word was loud and clear. Although his voice wasn't loud, it was deafening.
No one expected that Cheng Chuyou, who usually only knew how to compose poems, would actually compose such a poem!
After saying that, Cheng Chuyou threw the memorial in his hand on the ground!
All the ministers in the hall stared at Cheng Chuyou with wide eyes. They really didn't expect that Cheng Chuyou would dare to scold Li Shiming in front of them.
This was comparing Li Shiming to Qin Shihuang!
Who was Li Shi Min?
He was a monarch who cared about his reputation. At this time, Cheng Chuyou compared him to Qin Shihuang. This was simply a taboo for Li Shimin.
When Cheng Chuyou was reciting this poem, not only Wei Zheng, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also opened their eyes and listened attentively to Cheng Chuyou's poem.
However, Cheng Chuyou didn't finish his sentence. Since he had already decided to break the silence today, he didn't intend to keep it any longer.
"Mencius once said: The people are the most precious, the state is second, and the monarch is light!”
"Confucius once said: The ruler is the boat; The common people are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
"Now, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Chong, connived at his generals to kill my people at will. My butler almost died in his hands.”
"And I only killed the evil person who invaded my house!”
"This lowly official says guilty because this lowly official has indeed committed a crime. It is only because it was Your Majesty's selfishness!”
"Now, His Majesty wants to punish me because Zhangsun Chong is your nephew, but he ignored dozens of commoners…"
"In the long run, a few hundred! A few thousand! Tens of thousands! Hundreds of thousands!"
"And the millions of citizens of our Great Tang Dynasty!”
"I think His Majesty won't take it to heart!”
"Your Majesty, you are truly a wise lord!"
Cheng Chuyou's last sentence almost exhausted all his strength.
This shout echoed in the empty hall.
Deafening!
After saying that, Cheng Chuyou turned around and left. He didn't even need Li Shimin to say anything.
"Laugh at the sky and go out.”
"Hahahahaha!"
Cheng Chuyou's people had already walked out of Taiji Palace, but his voice still reverberated in it for a long time.
The entire Taiji Palace was silent. Everyone stared at Cheng Chuyou's memorial on the ground. No one dared to speak.
Even Zhangsun Wuji, who had been resting with his eyes closed, lowered his head.
Zhangsun Wuji had never expected Cheng Chuyou to do this!
The Imperial Censor who had been jumping up and down earlier was already drenched in cold sweat. He did not dare to imagine what would happen next!
"Hahahahahaha, good poem! Good memorial!"
"This place is deafening and thought-provoking.”
Just when everyone did not dare to make a sound, Wei Zheng laughed and stepped forward.
He bent down and picked up the memorial that Cheng Chuyou had thrown on the ground. After praising it loudly, he laughed and walked out of Taiji Palace!
Li Shi Min sat down on the dragon throne, his expression uncertain.
He didn't know if it was because of Cheng Chuyou's words or the content of Cheng Chuyou's words that made Li Shimin behave like this.
But what was certain was that Cheng Chuyou's words made Li Shimin understand one thing!
Cheng Chuyou, this kid…It was simply terrifying!
