"Alright, let's go…"
Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng looked at each other and spread their hands. They could only wait for his performance.
All the best, macho man!
"Tsk!"
Wei Zheng blew at his beard, indicating that they were all weak.
"Your Majesty has arrived. All officials are on guard!"
Chen Lin saw that everyone in the hall had gathered and shouted with a sharp voice.
When the civil and military officials heard this voice, they immediately tidied up their clothes and manners. Their expressions were solemn and they did not look away.
Fang Xiushen was the casual rider's attendant, the Crown Prince's junior teacher, and the Tang Emperor's son-in-law. He was also in the court, but he stood slightly further back.
"All officials pay their respects!"
Li Shi Min was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the throne. Chen Lin shouted, and all the officials saluted him. It was a magnificent scene.
"Rise!"
Li Shi Min raised his hand, his face expressionless and dignified.
"Today, I truly feel the vastness of the universe…!”
Chen Lin followed the rules and began to read out the opening speech of the court meeting.
"No need."
Li Shimin waved his hand and stopped Chen Lin, who was about to recite a poem.
He looked at the ministers below and said with certainty.
"There are two matters in today's court meeting. The first is to raise the army…"
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin had just said the word 'raise the army', when Wei Zheng, who had been holding it in for the whole morning, immediately opened his mouth, scaring Li.
"Your Majesty, are you bringing up the matter of conquering Goguryeo again?”
Wei Zheng took a step forward and prepared to use his ultimate move on Old Li.
"You can understand it that way."
Li Shiming calmed himself down and scolded Wei Zheng in his heart for a while before saying slowly.
"Your Majesty, this is a weak country's move. You must not! Back then…"
Old Wei had objected to this matter more than once or twice.
The official language, the cliché, he said it so skillfully!
For a moment, he quoted the classics, presented the facts, and reasoned with them. He spoke until his saliva flew everywhere, and his face turned red.
"Not bad, Old Wei, you're a real man!”
As Zhangsun Wuji listened to Wei Zheng's scolding, he felt that Old Wei was really not old. He was already so old, but his combat strength was still so strong!
The rest of the officials were also sighing at this moment. With a ruthless person like Wei Zheng in the court, how many people's heads were saved?
"Are you done?"
Li Shimin was acting out of character this time. He sat on the dragon throne and watched Wei Zheng's performance without saying a word of rebuttal.
"I…I'm done…"
Wei Zheng used his ultimate skill and his skill was on cooldown. He wiped his sweat and felt that Li Shimin was a little different today. Why was he so quiet?
If it was in the past, he would have slammed the table and clamored to kill himself!
"What do you think of this matter with Goguryeo?”
Li Shi Min seemed to be looking for help as he glanced at the officials below.
"This…"
When the officials below heard this, they all hesitated.
They also wanted to give His Majesty face, but the Great Tang could not afford to fight, at least not for a few years…
"Your Majesty, can you listen to me?"
Du Ruhui stepped out shakily and said with a firm gaze.
"Speak!"
Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui. Old Du had been in poor health. If he hadn't prepared to announce something big today, Old Du would have been resting at home.
"Your Majesty, this subject has been following Your Majesty ever since Jinyang raised his army. I have witnessed the rise of the Great Tang and Your Majesty's unparalleled achievements!
Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, all along the way, there were thorns and thorns, but their original intentions never changed…"
Du Ruhui was worthy of being a pen master. With just a few words, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy.
All the officials seemed to recall the scene of conquering the world back then.
Even Li Shi Min couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"But now, our Great Tang can't afford to fight…"
When Du Ruhui said this, he seemed a little lonely. Coupled with his already infected body, it made the hearts of all the officials tremble.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the Great Tang does not dare to fight, nor is it that the Great Tang cannot fight, but that the Great Tang must let its people rest and recuperate.”
Du Ruhui's eyes reddened as he spoke. These words came from the bottom of his heart. He felt that his days were numbered.
"Old Du…"
At this moment, many officials who were in the same era as Du Ruhui spoke up.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider…"
Zhangsun Wuji took a deep breath and finally stood up.
As the leader of the officials, he had to take sides now!
This time, he wasn't on the Emperor's side!
He wanted to stand on the Great Tang's side!
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
In the hall, the civil and military officials felt the same way and kowtowed. This time, even if they had to offend Li Shiming, they would protect the Great Tang for generations to come. They could not compromise.
However, as all the officials knelt down, two figures remained motionless in the hall.
One was a house cultivator, the other was Fang Xuanling…
"F * ck, what's going on?"
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes were the sharpest. He saw the two people standing upright at the first moment.
His nose twitched unconsciously, as if he had smelled a conspiracy!
Old Fang clan really wanted to cause trouble!
F * ck, they chose their side too early!
