What was that?
Cheng Yaojin's face darkened when he heard Wei Zheng say that he wanted Li Er to punish him.
"Wei Zheng, do we have a grudge? Why are you staring at me? Do you believe that I won't beat you up!"
Facing Cheng Yaojin's fierce appearance, Wei Zheng did not retreat at all. He said coldly,"This is the court, a gentleman's dignity. How can a boorish man like you be so impudent?”
"You…"
Cheng Yaojin was in the wrong. Moreover, he knew Wei Zheng's character. He was like a stone in a latrine pit that was smelly and hard. Other civil officials could just scare him.
However, Wei Zheng wasn't afraid at all. He was not afraid of death even when he contradicted Li Er. Cheng Yaojin couldn't do anything to him.
Li Er felt a headache when he saw Cheng Yaojin's generous attitude. However, Wei Zheng could finally cure him.
"Alright, Cheng Yaojin! Hurry up and apologize to Minister Wei!"
Hearing Li Er's words, Cheng Yaojin was a little unwilling, but he still snorted at Wei Du,""Lord Wei, I, Old Cheng, am a boor. I'm sorry!”
After saying that, he went back to his seat without caring about Wei Du's reaction.
Li Er had almost guessed that Wang He and Zhao Weimin should be from the Wang family, and they had bumped into Duan Lun and Yuchi Gong.
The Wang family wanted to protect them, and Duan Lun wanted to take them down.
Today's morning court session was their arena!
Wei Du and Wang Bingwen were both officials of the Wang Clan, so they were obviously speaking up for Zhao Weimin and Wang Bingwen. However, Li Er still had a headache over how to deal with this.
However, just as Li Er was hesitating, Li Tai stood up.
"Imperial Father, your son has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it.”
The King of Wei, Li Tai, and the Crown Prince, Li Chengqian, were also in the court.
Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Er's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still smiled and said,"Green Sparrow, what do you think?"
Both Li Er and Empress Zhangsun favored Li Tai, and Li Tai was indeed much smarter than Li Chengqian.
Li Er also wanted to know what Li Tai's thoughts were when he stood up.
Li Tai said directly," Father, Zhao Weimin and Wang He have indeed overstepped their boundaries, but there is nothing wrong with them. We can only say that these two people are a little reckless. Therefore, I think that these two people can be spared this time!"”
After Li Tai finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Immediately after, the surrounding officials began to discuss, and the officials of the Wang family all agreed at the right time.
"We agree. What the King of Wei said is reasonable!”
"We agree!"
"The King of Wei is right!"
...
Li Tai stood there with a smug expression.
Wu Xuncheng Yaojin and the others 'expressions darkened. They had not expected that the King of Wei, Li Tai, would actually speak up for the Wang family.
Moreover, Li Er had always doted on Li Tai. If Li Tai interfered, it would indeed be difficult.
Li Er didn't say anything and remained silent.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, then Fang Xuanling stood up from his seat and bowed."Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Seeing that it was Fang Xuanling, Li Er straightened his body." Minister Fang, please speak frankly."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I believe that officials should first love the people and listen to the people's opinions before dealing with the matters of the people. However, Zhao Weimin and his wife did not listen to the people's opinions at all. They even casually charged and arrested the people. They were completely reckless. We are not clear about the concrete matter, but it is not something that officials should do. Therefore, I think that they should be severely punished!”
Du Ruhui and Chu Suiliang also stood up to support Fang Xuanling.
"We agree!"
Li Er nodded." My dear Minister, what you said is reasonable. In that case, let's deal with it according to what Minister Duan said!"”
Li Er immediately set the tone.
The Wang family was dumbfounded.
Li Tai was also dumbfounded.
They all thought that they could completely solve it, but why couldn't they solve it all of a sudden?
Why did the direction of the wind change so suddenly?
At this moment, Li Tai was even more dumbfounded. He had originally wanted to contribute to the Wang family's support this time, but who would have thought that not only did he not succeed, but he also failed.
Li Er looked deeply at Li Tai and said,""Alright, let's put this matter behind us!”
Although the Wang family was unwilling, they could only retreat.
Li Tai also returned to his original position in a daze.
Duan Lun didn't go back at this time. She continued to stand there.
Li Er asked Duan Lun doubtfully,""Minister Duan, what else do you want to report?”
" Your Majesty," Duan Lun said calmly," I have just returned from Longmen County a few days ago. However, Liu Xuan, the magistrate of Longmen County in Jiangzhou, has introduced some good things to me."”
"Something good?"
Li Er shook his head and laughed." Don't tell me you're talking about that cement?”
Duan Lun nodded." Your Majesty, cement is indeed inside. Liu Xuan not only invented cement, but he also invented the waterwheel and the curved plow. These are all unprecedented inventions that can bring prosperity to the Tang Empire.”
"Oh? How can you be praised by Minister Duan?" Li Er asked suspiciously.
If he didn't know Duan Lun's character and knew that he wouldn't spout nonsense, he would have cursed at anyone else.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have already sent people to copy the blueprints of the waterwheel, the production of cement, and the curved shaft plow. I estimate that they will be presented to Your Majesty tomorrow.”
Li Er nodded. Since Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, said so, he would just believe it.
"Alright, let's see tomorrow!”
Although he said that, Li Er was still a little suspicious.
Although the officials didn't make any noise, they all looked at each other. They obviously didn't believe what Duan Lun said.
Although many people had already forgotten Liu Xuan and did not remember what he looked like, it did not mean that they did not know Liu Xuan!
Now, Duan Lun said that a twenty-something-year-old boy had invented something very powerful, something that could make the Great Tang prosper. Who would believe him?
Duan Lun also knew that the waterwheel and cement had not been made yet, so they could not get everyone's approval.
Therefore, he did not explain.
However, he did not forget the favor Liu Xuan asked him to do.
Duan Lun didn't retreat. Instead, he continued,"" Your Majesty, Liu Xuan, the magistrate of Longmen County, was originally the youngest scholar in Zhenguan of the Great Tang. This time, I went to inspect the Dragon Gate with Duke Lu and Duke E. We found that the rule of the Dragon Gate is clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There is a great flow of people, and the city walls are being repaired…"
Duan Lun didn't hide anything and praised Liu Xuan's achievements in the main hall.
