"After hearing Lord Zhangsun's words, I'm suddenly enlightened! Following the ancients, following common sense, everything was done according to reason. Lord Zhangsun was indeed worthy of being a founding minister. His understanding of the matter was straight to the point, and his words were reasonable. I admire you."
Li Ke was not in a hurry to retort directly. Instead, he first helped Zhangsun Wuji lift his feet.
He praised Zhangsun Wuji and put on an expression of being taught a lesson.
It was as if the two of them had a good relationship.
After Li Ke made this appearance, Zhangsun Wuji suddenly felt that he could not understand him.
"Is he giving up just like that?"
This thought had just flashed through Zhangsun Wuji's mind when he immediately extinguished it.
How could he give up the position of Crown Prince just like that?
Then Li Ke definitely had a backup plan after putting on such a pose.
Li Ke naturally wouldn't let Zhangsun Wuji down.
After he was done with the stinky feet, the next step was naturally to hit them with a hammer.
"But Lord Zhangsun, by saying that you're following common sense, can I understand that you're being conservative?”
After Li Ke said this, Zhangsun Wuji was stunned.
Then, a very ominous premonition sprang up in his heart.
"What does Your Highness Wu Wang mean?”
Zhangsun Wuji didn't want to ask this.
However, he raised his head slightly to look at Second Brother Li, who was sitting above him, and realized that he was looking at his third son with interest.
Although his gaze was not on him, Zhangsun Wuji knew.
The Emperor was interested.
If he didn't continue, he would definitely make Li Shiming unhappy.
"Hehe, you said that you followed the ancient precepts and followed common sense. That was where the problem came. Was the ancient saying always correct? If the ancient teachings are correct, then are we going to live forever in the ancient teachings? This is conservative, not common sense."
"The times are progressing, so how can we stay where we are? As long as we develop new ideas, we can progress. Only by keeping up with the pace of the times can our Great Tang continue to exist.”
"You said that you want to respect the ancient teachings and speak of common sense. Then let me ask you, which of those countries that respect the ancient teachings still exist in the world? If our Great Tang does not improve and remains content with the status quo, will our Great Tang become nothing more than a legend after so many years? Lord Zhangsun, you're not benefiting the country, but harming it!”
Li Ke did not give Zhangsun Wuji any chance to resist.
In one breath, he threw out a series of principles that he would say at any morning meeting or evening party when he entered a big company in his previous life.
He said it in an impassioned and eloquent manner.
Especially when he was criticizing Zhangsun Wuji, his tone was filled with grief and indignation.
When he looked at Zhangsun Wuji, it was as if he was looking at a sinner from the past.
"You... You…"
Zhangsun Wuji's pupils dilated when he heard Li Ke's words.
He could not understand why the topic of not appointing him as the Crown Prince had turned into a topic of him harming the country.
He really wanted to refute, but he found that Li Ke's words seemed to make sense.
At the very least, there were no longer any countries that had established ancient teachings.
[Ding-dong. The host has successfully defeated Zhangsun Wuji. The ministers have nothing to say.] Reward: Stamina 1."
After receiving another reward and adding three points to his stamina, Li Ke could clearly feel that his stamina had improved.
He clenched his fists in his wide sleeves and released them. Feeling his gradually rising strength, he felt that these ministers were simply too cute.
Li Ke's words rendered Zhangsun Wuji speechless.
He did not expect Li Ke to directly put aside the matter of the Crown Prince and shift the blame onto himself.
"Your Highness Wu Wang, this old minister is just stating the facts. How can you beat around the bush! Emperor, this old minister is loyal to the Great Tang! He would never do such a treasonous thing as harming the country!”
Zhangsun Wuji couldn't think of any good words to retort Li Ke.
Although Li Er wasn't looking at him.
But he had to put on an act!
Therefore, he knelt on the ground and started to beg for mercy.
[Ding-dong. The host has successfully defeated Zhangsun Wuji. Reward: Stamina 1. Mission completed. Additional reward: White Bird Facing Phoenix Spear Set."
"Oh my, there are additional rewards! If I kill Zhangsun Wuji directly, wouldn't the reward be even more generous?”
When Li Ke heard that there was an additional reward, his heart immediately became even happier.
He even started to think about whether he should directly kill Zhangsun Wuji.
At the same time as his stamina increased, a set of spear techniques kept replaying in Li Ke's mind.
A man in white armor and silver spear swept across the battlefield like a dragon.
It was as if these things were directly imprinted in Li Ke's body. Almost every movement had become a subconscious instinct of his body.
"Hey, hey, hey…Lord Zhangsun, don't you think you've misunderstood me? What I'm saying is that you shouldn't be so old-fashioned. The past is history. People like us who live in the present should learn from history and not blindly follow it. Why do you look like you have a guilty conscience! At your age, you have to take care of your health!”
After Li Ke saw Zhangsun Wuji, this old whip, start to act pitiful, he naturally could not let him succeed.
Without waiting for Li Er to open his mouth to give him a way out, Li Ke directly rushed to Zhangsun Wuji's side.
She squatted down and helped him up from the ground.
She hadn't finished scolding him yet. How could she let him find a way out so quickly and stay out of it?
However, when he helped him up, Li Ke did not forget to hand him a soft knife.
Li Ke's words sounded like he was trying to comfort Zhangsun Wuji.
However, his voice was unusually loud and clear, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the hall.
For a moment, the way the ministers looked at Li Ke changed.
Especially Second Brother Li, who was sitting above, looked at Li Ke with a different meaning in his eyes.
"Lord Wu Wang, what are you saying? What did he mean by guilty conscience? I, Zhangsun Wuji, have never done anything to let the Great Tang down.”
"Then why don't you agree to me being the Crown Prince?”
“...”
"Pfft…"
