Wei Zheng finished his sentence.
The air froze.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became strange.
Zhangsun Wuji did not expect him to say such a thing and hurriedly explained,""Your Majesty!"
Li Shiming's face was devoid of joy as he took two steps forward and glared at Wei Zheng.
Their eyes met, and no one gave in.
For a moment, Zhangsun Wuji could neither say nor persuade him.
Li Shi Min was furious.
The title of being second only to one person and above ten thousand others, the number one official of the Great Tang, was simply too great.
Even Zhangsun Wuji did not dare to say such words, nor did he dare to say that he was below one person and above ten thousand people!
? He knew that Lin Fan was talented.
However, he was just a shopkeeper who was used to being idle. How could he be worthy of such a heavy responsibility?
It would be fine if these words came from someone else's mouth, but it had to come from Wei Zheng's mouth.
Wei Zheng had always been impartial and never spoke up for anyone through the back door.
But today, he had only met Lin Fan once and he had actually said such arrogant words. How could he not be furious?
The smell of gunpowder in the room was getting stronger and stronger. Wei Zheng held his head high and puffed out his chest, not giving in an inch. Li Shimin was even more pressing.
Right at this moment,
"Your Majesty, ChenQie thought that you might as well listen to Lord Wei first.”Empress Zhangsun saw that the atmosphere was not right and came out to smooth things over. Her arms held Li Shimin's forward steps and her voice was gentle.
Li Shi Min snorted and sat down.
He quietly waited for the rest.
"Your Majesty, do you know what Lin Fan's ambition is?”Wei Zheng said coldly, his voice neither servile nor overbearing.
Li Shi Min frowned and laughed,"What ambition could he have? He's just a market shopkeeper playing around in the world.”
"If he really had ambition, how could he not enter the court as an official with such great talent!”
Wei Zheng smiled and shook his head. He took a step forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong."
"Young friend Lin Fan has the world in his heart and has the talent to rule the world. It's a pity that he has nowhere to display it.”
Li Shi Min felt like he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
The world was so big. If one really had ambition, how could there be nowhere to display it?
Wei Zheng thought too simply of Lin Fan. It was just an excuse and excuse.
He was about to get angry.
"Your Majesty, young friend Lin Fan has something to say today.”Wei Zheng continued.
Li Shi Min's face was dark as he waved his hand patiently.
Wei Zheng stood up straight, raised his head, and placed his hands behind his back.
The expression on his face was a little intoxicated, but more of it was yearning. He spoke boldly and arrogantly.
"Set your heart for the world!"
"For the sake of the people!"
"Inheriting the ultimate art of rebirth!"
"Bring peace to all ages!"
The sound lingered for a long time.
Wei Zheng cupped his hands again." Your Majesty, do you think that the three provinces and six ministries can fulfill his ambition?”
Li Shi Min froze.
These four sentences kept echoing in his ears as he muttered to himself.
He felt that the lofty sentiments in his heart had been ignited by these four sentences.
Wasn't this his lifelong wish?
Li Shi Min smiled bitterly.
In the end, he had still underestimated him.
"Your Majesty, where do you think we can achieve such ambitions?”
"Is it the three provinces and six departments, or the Chang 'an County Yamen?”
Wei Zheng's tone suddenly changed and he said coldly,"Could it be that we should let him sit on the dragon throne or directly kill him to prevent future troubles?!"”
His voice was sonorous and powerful.
Zhangsun Wuji's expression changed drastically. He knelt on the ground and shouted,"Your Majesty, please calm down, Lord Wei!"
He hadn't finished his sentence.
Li Shi Min raised his hand to interrupt.
He came in front of Wei Zheng again.
"Does Lord Wei really think so?”Li Shi Min leaned closer and breathed out hot air onto Wei Zheng's face.
Wei Zheng looked straight ahead and said calmly,"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject thinks so.”
Li Shi Min closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Empress Zhangsun couldn't sit still anymore. She rolled up her long dress and trotted forward, kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Li Shiming turned around abruptly, not even looking at the Zhangsun siblings kneeling on the ground, nor did he look at Wei Zheng.
He stood with his hands behind his back and closed his eyes in deep thought.
He recalled the scene of Lin Fan raising his wine jar high up in the air.
He smiled and shook his head.
"Get up."
The Zhangsun siblings were shocked and shouted again,"Your Majesty!"
Li Shi Min turned around, and the haze on his face was swept away.
"Can't I speak? Everyone, get up.”
"I didn't say that I would blame Wei Zheng."
He patted Wei Zheng's shoulder." This matter needs to be considered carefully. We can't be careless!”
"Plop!"
Wei Zheng knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling with excitement." Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Li Shi Min helped him up and nodded.
"I believe in Lord Wei's foresight, and I also believe in my own foresight.”
"Since he wants a stage, I'll give him a chance!”
"But this matter is of great importance and we can't make a rash decision. Let's talk about it after we understand his nature.”
Then,
Wei Zheng and the other two knelt down again and shouted,"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shi Min waved his hand, feeling that he had nowhere to release his pride.
He simply laid out a piece of paper and lifted his brush.
He waved his hand and splashed ink.
A moment later.
Li Shimin opened his hands and waited for the ink to dry.
"Zhen wants to frame these four sentences.”
"Just hang it in Taiji Palace so that I can see it when I raise my head!”
"Always be alert and don't forget your original intentions!”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes were filled with tears.
"Your Majesty is wise! The heavens bless the Great Tang!"
"Your Majesty is wise, and the heavens bless the Great Tang!"
......
The next day.
Taiji Palace.
The civil and military officials had already arrived.
He looked up at the four lines of words that had been hung up long ago and was filled with emotion.
"It is truly a blessing for the Great Tang that Your Majesty has such an epiphany!”
"Your Majesty's holy will is unfathomable!"
“......”
The bells outside the hall rang.
The civil and military officials also stopped praising and lined up.
After a while, Li Shi Min still didn't show up.
Everyone couldn't help but mutter in their hearts and discuss softly.
His Majesty was never late for court meetings. He was always punctual. What was wrong with him today?
