Even if You-er is really as you, Zhangsun Wuji, think, so what?
Couldn't this matter end here?
It was a misunderstanding that You 'er had forcefully snatched a commoner's daughter. He had protected his own reputation and the reputation of the Tang royal family.
Could it be that you have to make the matter of You-er forcefully snatching a commoner's daughter a reality and make me lose face before you will be satisfied?
Li Er replied stiffly,"Duke of Qi, you said it yourself. It's difficult to draw a dragon or a tiger from a painting. You can't know a person's heart by their appearance." How would others know what You-er was thinking? If you don't give up, it's inevitable that the world will think that you're measuring a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart!”
"That's not the case!"
Zhangsun Wuji naturally knew that Li Er was not happy. However, in order to deal a blow to Li You, he couldn't care less.
Zhangsun Wuji's neck stiffened." It's precisely because it's difficult to draw a dragon or tiger, and it's difficult to draw a bone. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. That's why the imperial court has formulated the law to judge actions but not their hearts. No matter what the King of Yan thinks, His Majesty can punish him according to the law. If not, use this as an example. Didn't that mean that everyone could just find an excuse to snatch a girl away?”
"You 'er has made such a great contribution, but you want to punish him according to the law? Duke Qi, are you…sure?" Li Er's face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth and said.
Zhangsun Wuji's words were reasonable, and Li Er didn't know how to refute him. He could only express his attitude through his expression and tone.
Zhangsun Wuji also threw caution to the wind and insisted,"Yes, punish him according to the law! Unless the King of Yan could produce evidence to prove that his actions today had no intention of offending Little Lady Wei.”
How could he prove it?
Could it be that Li You could cut out his heart and let Zhangsun Wuji take a look?
Or could he open his skull and let Zhangsun Wuji take a look?
Zhangsun Wuji's request was simply unsolvable!
He turned his head slightly and looked at Li You with a cold smile on his face.
So what if you were in the limelight today?
It was a fact that he had snatched a woman. As long as this old man grasps this point, His Majesty will punish you and you will have no hope of ascending to the position of Crown Prince!
How could a person who forcefully snatched a woman be worthy of being the ruler of a country?
However, at this moment, there was no anger or resentment on Li You's face.
On the contrary, Li You smiled. His smile was as light as the wind, as if Zhangsun Wuji's accusation had no effect on him at all!
"What?" Li You asked loudly. Duke Qi wanted evidence! Good! I'll give you evidence! Please…take a fancy to me!"
After saying that, he had already taken off the sword at his waist.
The sword was completely black and looked ordinary.
"What evidence can a sword be?" Zhangsun Wuji said disdainfully. Could it be that you carved some kind of mark on the sword just in case?”
Li Er's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the sword that could not be pulled out?”
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Li You's mind.
Ding! Please note that in order to hide the existence of the system, Li Shiming's memory has been slightly affected. In Li Shiming's memory, when you were ten years old, a sage-like Daoist suddenly appeared in King Qin's Mansion and gave you this sword. This sword was very strange. No matter what method he used, he could not pull it out.
"The system is really thoughtful. I don't want to reveal any flaws when I make up stories about the origin of this sword.”Li You praised in his heart.
He bowed and said,"Reporting to Imperial Father, this sword is indeed the sword that no one can pull out." Just a few days ago, when your son was thinking about the plan for the Great Tang Bank, I was suddenly able to pull out this sword. Moreover…this sword has a name."
"What name?"
"Clear Sable Sword!"
"What is it? Clear Sable Sword?" Li Er excitedly took a few steps forward and snatched the Clear Sable Sword from Li You's hands.
Clang ~~
The sword was unsheathed and flashed several times.
Looking at the sword body, two ancient seal characters were faintly discernible-Zhan Lu!
"It really is the Clear Sable Sword? Alright! The heavens are really helping me!" Li Er said excitedly.
No wonder he was so excited.
The symbolic meaning of the Clear Sable Sword was too strong.
Ou Yezi had forged five famous swords in his life: Clear Sable, Pure Jun, Great Ravager, Hao Cao, and Yu Chang. Out of these five swords, Clear Sable was the most respected.
This sword was not only the sharpest sword in the world, but also a sword of benevolence and righteousness.
According to legend, Zhan Lu was later obtained by Gou Jian, King of Yue. Because of Gou Jian's defeat, he had no choice but to give the Zhanlu Sword to Fu Chai, the King of Wu. However, the King of Wu had no way of doing things. The Clear Sable Sword actually left on its own and flew to the side of the famous King Chu!
From then on, Zhan Lu symbolized benevolence and righteousness.
The monarch had a way, the sword was by his side, and the country flourished!
Jun Wudao, the sword flew away, and the country was destroyed!
Now that he was in power, what did the appearance of the Clear Sable Sword mean? Was there still a need to say? He was the benevolent ruler of a generation!
With the Clear Sable Sword's affirmation, even the Black Tortoise Sect's dark history could not hide his reputation as a benevolent ruler!
Everyone had the same thoughts and principles.
What Li Er could think of, the others could of course think of as well.
"His Majesty is in court, the government is clear, and the people live and work in peace. The Clear Sable Sword has reappeared in the world. I congratulate Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Great Tang!"
The ministers were excited and bowed to Li Er!
Li Er was extremely happy now, but he still had to maintain his modesty. He supported himself with both hands and said,"Dear ministers, please rise. Actually, thinking about it carefully, the owner of this Clear Sable Sword is not me, but my fifth son, Li You. It doesn't mean that I've already obtained the Clear Sable Sword's recognition. I still need to continue working hard!”
"Where?" "The King of Yan is His Majesty's son. His achievements are all thanks to His Majesty's enlightenment," said Fang Xuanling. He had already obtained the Clear Sable Sword's recognition, let alone His Majesty?”
"Also, ever since the Clear Sable Sword fell into the hands of Zhou Chu, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty, its whereabouts are unknown." Could it be that in the next few hundred years, there would be no famous generals worthy of entrusting the Clear Sable Sword to him? It was really because the emperor back then wasn't recognized by Zhan Lu. Even if there was a peerless famous general, he would not be willing to appear!”
Even Wei Zheng couldn't say anything when he saw the Clear Sable Sword. He said,""There's a legend among the people that the monarch has a way, the sword is by his side, and the country is prosperous. This is indeed an auspicious thing. Your Majesty, don't be modest!”
……
The ministers were all talking at once, affirming the significance of the Clear Sable Sword's appearance. It was simply to Li Er's heart, and he was so happy that he beamed with joy.
When Zhangsun Wuji saw this, he could not help but feel anxious!
Whether or not Li Er was a benevolent ruler, he didn't care, nor did he want to care.
However, the owner of the Clear Sable Sword was too wrong!
How could it be the King of Yan, Li You?
The Clear Sable Sword had already affirmed Li You's character. Then wouldn't the matter of him forcefully snatching a commoner girl be completely cleared?
Most importantly, wouldn't Li You represent justice at all times when he held the Clear Sable Sword in his hands? How could she fight him?
This can't do!
Thinking of this, Zhangsun Wuji coughed and said in a clear voice,""Isn't it a bit too hasty for Your Majesty to determine that it is the Clear Sable Sword just based on the handwriting on the sword? Who knew if the King of Yan had forged this sword in advance in order to escape punishment?”
"Hmm?"
Li Er looked at Zhangsun Wuji coldly and said,""What's wrong? Minister Zhangsun still wanted to verify the authenticity of this Clear Sable Sword!”
