Facing the angry Li Longji, Li Rui was too lazy to argue,""As far as I know, the Great Tang's tax burden is gradually increasing, and the number of vagrants is increasing.”
In his later years, Li Longji was immersed in the achievements of the Kaiyuan era created in his early years and began to indulge in pleasure. In addition, treacherous officials only said good things and did not say bad things.
In short, Li Longji was resting on his old capital until the An Lushan Rebellion broke out.
The Great Tang suffered a great loss, unable to recover from the setback, and lost its former glory.
Li Rui and Li Longji were at loggerheads, causing the hall to fall silent. Everyone below stared at each other.
A moment later.
Li Longji flicked his sleeves and left.”
Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli followed him. Li Longji seemed to have forgotten about the Crown Prince, Li Ying, and the others.
The three of them were still commoners, and the position of Crown Prince was vacant!
It seemed like this saint didn't want a crown prince for the time being.
"I want to be an official, the Minister of Justice. Old man, are you going to give it to me?" Li Rui shouted at the door.”
"Agreed!"
Li Longji seemed even angrier.
Li Rui's form of address was extremely disrespectful!
" What should I do?" Yao Song was stunned and hurriedly chased after him." Sage, what should I do?"”
"You're old. Go home and enjoy your life!”
Li Longji's words seemed to have transferred Li Rui's words to Yao Song.
Yao Song wanted to cry but had no tears. He shouldn't have gotten involved in today's matter.
However, Li Ruifeng chased after him and shouted,"Old man, stop right there!"
"Prince Liang, you can't address a saint like that.”
Gao Lishi's face turned green.
Chen Xuanli pulled a long face and didn't say anything. As a straight man, his instincts told him that the Saint was acting very strangely today. It seemed that he favored his youngest son a little.
Li Longji glared at him." Come up. I won't go back on my word."”
When Li Rui took over the Crown Prince's case, he said that he had to do one thing after it was done.
On the carriage, Li Longji glared at Li Rui and suddenly laughed in anger. He said loudly,""Little bastard, you're smart and outstanding. You're stronger than your brothers and have the elegance of my youth.”
"Forget it."
Li Rui's words almost choked Li Longji to death.
Gao Lishi couldn't help but want to laugh. This pair of father and son really hit it off.
"What do you want to do?" Li Longji asked.”
"The Wu family interfered in politics and framed the Crown Prince.”
Li Rui said very seriously.
But Li Longji couldn't help but laugh." You'll only turn twelve in July this year. You'll have to think about cleaning up the emperor's side when you're older."”
"I'm serious!"
"I'm serious too!"
Li Rui and Li Longji stared at each other in the carriage.
Li Rui secretly frowned. This Imperial Father really doted on the Wu family. He wanted to touch Consort Wu Hui, but Li Longji refused.
This was a little troublesome!
Since they had already formed a grudge today, the Wu Clan would definitely make things difficult for Li Rui in future.
There was also Right Prime Minister Lin Jiulang, who was an enemy of the Crown Prince.
Today, Li Rui had saved the Crown Prince, Li Ying, and had indirectly offended the Right Prime Minister.
Li Longji said," You want to be the Minister of Justice. I approve of it. You are the youngest Minister since the founding of the Tang Empire. You are a third-grade official!"”
"The Ministry of Justice is in charge of criminal law. As long as I have evidence, can I punish anyone?”
Li Rui asked.
"You can do it, but you can't act first and report later!" Li Longji said seriously.”
"I want to establish the Wu family!"
"Get down!"
Li Rui had just finished speaking when Li Longji kicked him out of the car expressionlessly.
As the carriage moved further and further away, Gao Lishi got into it and said with a flattering smile,""Today, the Sage is especially fond of the Prince of Liang.”
"Rui 'er's intelligence has completely schemed against Zhen today. He is stronger than Li Ying and the others.”
Li Longji told him the reason why he did not want to reinstate Li Ying as Crown Prince.
There had never been a lack of disputes in the palace since ancient times.
Li Ying barged into the palace just because someone lied.
How could such a person become the Crown Prince, how could he intimidate the ministers and rule the Great Tang's millions of territories?
"Sage, what about His Highness Prince Liang?" Gao Lishi probed.”
"You talk a lot today. If anything happens to Rui 'er, zhen will be the first to take your head.”Li Longji said lightly.
As a monarch, Gao Lishi's face turned pale with just one sentence. Outside, Chen Xuanli's expression was grave. The Dragon Martial Army had forgotten everything that had happened today.
However, everyone knew that this young Prince Liang had a chance of becoming the Crown Prince!
On the other side, Li Rui looked around and said unhappily,""I'm the Liang Prince after all, I don't even have a carriage. Sima Yi, I'll leave this matter to you. Do you see that carriage in front?”
"My lord, that's the emperor's chariot."
Sima Yi's face turned green.
If he really wanted to get this carriage, it would be equivalent to announcing to the world that he was overstepping the imperial power and harboring evil intentions.
Li Rui wanted to become a minister of the Ministry of Justice, so he naturally had to report.
However, on the way there, Zhao Huiyao cupped his fists and said,""Prince Liang, the Right Prime Minister invites you!"
Lin Jiu Lang invited me?"
Li Rui's eyes flashed with a cold light. They had just become enemies, yet they were already looking for him so quickly!
Sima Yi tried to dissuade him.”
"Of course!"
Cao Cao's boldness was as always, he knew that the Hongmen Banquet would be held but he still let Li Rui go.
In Cao Cao's eyes, this trip was frightening but not dangerous.
No matter how arrogant he, Lin Jiulang, was, he would not dare to kill the prince openly.
Zhao Huiyao led the carriage through Vermilion Bird Avenue and arrived at the Right Minister's Residence in Changle Lane.
The Right Minister's Residence was built very grandly. In comparison, Li Rui was still underage and had always lived in the Imperial Palace.
When Li Rui entered the manor, the outer courtyard was filled with peonies. There were nearly a hundred female slaves who took care of them.
Lin Jiulang opened the memorials one by one in the inner courtyard, which was dyed with agarwood. He shook his head and sighed as if he hadn't noticed Li Rui's arrival."There are so many trivial matters every day. There's no need to trouble you with trivial matters like the plague in Youzhou and the drought in Henan.”
"Here!"
The people organizing the documents were all Rank-5 and 6 officials.
Lin Jiulang raised his head and said in surprise," Ah, the Prince of Liang is here. I'm not feeling well, so I can't stand up to welcome you. Don't blame me!"”
"I'm fine. Where is the Senior Prime Minister feeling unwell?”
Li Rui smiled lightly.
Lin Jiulang stretched his waist and said lazily,"My back is sore all over. I feel uncomfortable everywhere!"”
"I know a little about medicine. Come, let me take a look at the Senior Prime Minister.”
Li Rui walked forward with a smile.
"What do you want?" Lin Jiulang asked warily.”
"To treat the Right Prime Minister!"
Li Rui stepped forward and threw a punch, causing Lin Jiulang to stagger backward. He covered his nose and blood gushed out.
"You dare to attack me?!" Lin Jiulang roared angrily.”
"You're the one I'm going to beat! The plague in Youzhou is spreading, and countless people will die. The drought in Henan has caused no harvest, and the people of the Great Tang will starve to death!”
Li Rui stepped forward and punched and kicked Lin Jiulang.
Cao Cao quietly handed over a wooden stick and said,""My lord, don't hurt yourself."
Li Rui took the wooden stick and beat Lin Jiulang up without a word.
A shrill scream resounded through the entire Right Minister's Residence, alerting the three hundred guards.
Sima Yi cried out in alarm,"My Lord, the guards of the Right Minister's Residence are here!”
"Prince Liang, I want you to die today!”
Lin Jiulang was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground and screamed miserably.
However, Li Rui waved his hand and threw out a purple card. He shouted,"Er 'Lai, guard the gate!"
"This general will obey!"
In ancient times, only Dian Wei came.
An extremely ugly man appeared, holding a pair of halberds as he charged towards the door.
