Take Off Your Clothes If You Have the Ability! (, tickets.)
Li Xian followed the imperial servant to Chang 'an.
Looking at Li Xian's departing back, Li Chengqian and the other siblings were all dumbfounded and incomparably anxious.
"What should we do? Master Kong, Master Yan, and Master Yu were all the most famous Confucians in the Great Tang, and they were all targeting their teacher. This was bad.”
Li Chengqian was extremely anxious.
"What's the use of saying all this? Why don't we go back with him? We'll risk being scolded and punished to beg Imperial Father to spare Teacher.”
Li Ke said proudly.
"With Imperial Father's love for us, he definitely won't make things difficult for Teacher.”
Li Tai rolled his eyes.
"Don't think too highly of our abilities. Father is not a bad ruler.”
"Didn't you hear that one of the crimes against Teacher is to corrupt the Crown Prince?”
"Let's go back and plead for mercy. If Master Kong and the others know, they might convict Master and confuse the Crown Prince.”
After Li Tai finished speaking, the three of them were instantly discouraged.
Although they did not have much contact with Li Xian in such a short period of time.
However, Li Xian's words and deeds had indeed changed their understanding. Especially when they saw the worship and gratitude of the disaster victims towards Li Xian, as well as the orderly living conditions of the disaster victims, the three of them were shocked.
At their age, they had only left the palace a few times and had never seen any real disaster victims.
However, he had read many descriptions of disaster victims in the history books.
" Hungry everywhere, exchanging children for food, freezing and starving to death..."
The disaster victims they knew were those who couldn't survive. They were sad and struggled on the verge of death every day.
But now, the disaster victims…
They ate and drank every day, and their lives were orderly. One could even see clear smiles on many people's faces.
Who in the Great Tang could possess such ability?
Even Imperial Father was full of praises. Li Xian was definitely their super idol now.
"What's the use of thinking so much?"
Li Lizhi suddenly said.
"Let's go back and wait for an opportunity.”
"Didn't Teacher say so?"
"You have to improvise. Many things are so sudden that you won't have much time to prepare.”
Li Chengqian and the other two nodded, their gazes firm.
"Let's go!"
……
In Taiji Palace, Li Shimin stood high above, with Wen Dong and Wu Xi standing on both sides and Li Xian in the middle.
"This commoner Li Xian greets Your Majesty."
Li Xian crossed his hands and bowed.
"No need."
Li Shi Min said with a dark face.
"Li Xian, Master Kong, Master Yan, and Master Yu have jointly reported that you have committed five major crimes, all of which are crimes that warrant death.”
"Do you have an explanation?"
Li Xian smiled. Although Li Shi Min's expression was dark, his words were on his side.
"This commoner doesn't explain, but has a few questions.”
Li Xian said.
"If the three sirs can answer me sincerely, then Li Xian is willing to be executed.”
Instantly, everyone's faces revealed a playful smile.
Li Xian really wanted to argue with the three great Confucians.
It was truly laughable.
The three Great Confucians were extremely knowledgeable and knowledgeable. When it came to reasoning and distinguishing right from wrong, who could be their match?
Li Xian was courting death!
Zhang Liang almost laughed out loud in the court.
As expected, he was still young and impetuous. He didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and couldn't defeat him.
He had only used a small trick to make Li Xian draw fire on himself and make the three great Confucians deal with him together.
This time, he would take revenge!
"What should we do? Li Xian seems to be at a disadvantage.”
Yuchi Gong said somewhat anxiously.
"Calm down. That kid seems quite confident. There shouldn't be any problems.”
Li Ji said with a smile.
"What confidence? Those are three great Confucians. In terms of reasoning, no one is a match for those three old things.”
Yuchi Gong said anxiously.
"Come on, have you forgotten?"
Cheng Yaojin laughed softly.
"That kid's methods even caused Zhangsun Yin to be stunned. There's no problem.”
"Just wait and see."
Only then did Yuchi Gong relax. Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji looked at each other and smiled, looking like they were watching a show.
Kong Yingda, Yan Shigu, and Yu Shining walked out of the court and confronted Li Xian.
"Ask away if you have any questions."
Kong Yingda said arrogantly. She didn't even look at Li Xian, looking very disdainful.
"The three of you said that my business path has harmed the country and the people, and taught the Crown Prince badly?”
Li Xian asked.
"Is there a need to ask?”
Yan Shigu said seriously.
"The path of merchants is a cheap industry that values benefits and despises character. It is a path that brings disaster to the country.”
Yu Shining also stood out.
"Not bad!"
"Think about it, if you govern the country with the way of merchants, everyone in the world will talk about profit and lose their morals. They will all become thieves without a king or father.”
"Wouldn't the country be destroyed?”
The group of civil officials nodded their heads in agreement. They looked at Li Xian with eyes filled with hatred, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
Only Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji were calm and expressionless. They knew…
Only then did Li Xian prepare to make his move.
"That makes sense!"
Li Xian replied seriously and then asked.
"Then the three lords will definitely not have any relationship with the merchants, nor will they take any benefits from the merchants?”
The three of them immediately looked disgusted and even angry.
"We're all disciples of the saints. How could we have anything to do with merchants?”
"You're insulting us. We have noble characters and definitely won't take advantage of merchants. We pass on our poems and books to our family and cultivate thin fields.”
"We're not the villains who are always interested in profits like you say. We definitely won't take advantage of merchants.”
Looking at the three people's indignant expressions, many civil officials almost applauded.
As expected of the three great Confucians, well said.
This was the strength of character that a scholar should have!
"Oh, I see."
Li Xian sneered.
"The three lords are wearing silk, right?”
"There is no silk in Guanzhong. It is produced in the south and sold by merchants.”
"Without merchants, can you wear these good clothes?”
"Didn't you say that you won't take advantage of merchants?”
"If you have the guts, take it off now!"
