Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, Yuan Wuji, and the others secretly looked at each other, their eyes filled with anxiety.
The Sage Emperor had already declared that he would not kill the Prince of Shouchun.
Why couldn't the Prince of Shouchun stop while he was ahead?
He had to use such mocking words to provoke the Sage Emperor.
The Sage Emperor admired Li Xian's courage and courage, and so did they.
Especially Li Xian's analysis of the collapse of the military system.
The imperial court's propaganda had always been that in the decades since the founding of the country, the population in Guanzhong had increased, resulting in a lack of land for the government. The government and military system, which was based on the employment system, could not continue.
Of course, this was one of the reasons.
However, Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, and the others naturally knew that the main reason was not the increase in population.
It was land annexation!
There was no need to talk about the temple property.
Xue Huaiyi's White Horse Temple had over a hundred thousand hectares of land in Guanzhong!
In order to balance the Guanzhong tyrants that were inextricably linked to the Li Imperial Family, the Sage Emperor used the powerful clans of Bingzhou that were used by Gaozu and quickly abandoned after entering the pass and stabilizing the country, as well as the powerful clans of Luoyang, the eastern capital.
After these people arrived in Guanzhong, they needed land to establish themselves and spread their branches.
The Sage Emperor chose to turn a blind eye to this!
And the Sage Emperor trusted the Wu family.
The kings of the Wu family were greedy.
In addition, in order to compete for the position of the Crown Prince, the Wu family had colluded with the officials. The people within the Wu family also needed benefits.
It was impossible for the kings of the Wu family to pay out of their own pockets.
In the end, it could only be transferred to the people of Guanzhong.
As a result, the military system collapsed, and the people's enthusiasm for production was greatly suppressed. The food shortage in Guanzhong was getting bigger and bigger.
Just as the prince said mockingly.
Every time there was a shortage of resources, the Sage Emperor would lead the nobles in the court to Luoyang to eat steamed buns and reduce the burden on Guanzhong.
He was hot-blooded and saw the crux of the problem!
The Li Imperial Family's rare talent made Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, and the other courtiers who cared about the Li Imperial Family unable to bear to watch Li Xian die in the Great Ming Palace.
However, they did not dare to speak rashly.
As ministers of the court, if they pleaded for Li Xian, it would only increase the Holy Emperor's killing intent!
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at Li Xian with pity, coldness, and hatred.
Li Xian's expression was calm as he cupped his fists." Even an ant can live, let alone a human!”
"This grandson is only describing what I saw and heard, the wails of the people, the miserable screams of the souls who were unwilling to accept their lives!”
"This grandson is the grandmother of the Emperor of Death!"
Humph…
The Sacred Emperor snorted and laughed.
Instantly, the entire Great Ming Palace felt like it was a cold day. Countless people felt their bones turn cold.
"Since you want to be a county magistrate and think that Grandmother is incompetent, then you can go to the old city of Chang 'an and be a county magistrate.”
"Let's see if you, a descendant of the Li family, only know how to talk big or if you really have some ability!”
"You have to take care of yourself!"
The ministers looked at Wu Zetian in shock.
No one had expected Li Xian to be so rebellious, even directly attacking and slandering the Sage Emperor.
The Sage Emperor actually didn't kill him.
He was afraid!
After a brief moment of shock, almost everyone realized what the Imperial Emperor was afraid of.
Li Xian used the excuse of reporting the humiliation of the Wu Kings to cause trouble. The consequences of killing Li Xian were unpredictable!
He placed the Prince of Shouchun, Li Xian, in the Old City of Chang 'an and did not dare to follow Li Xian's request to exile him to Lingnan.
It was also a form of suspicion and vigilance!
The Imperial Emperor was afraid that Li Xiantian would be too far away and difficult to control.
Therefore, he had to keep an eye on it!
The old city of Chang 'an was the capital of the imperial court that founded Guanzhong before the Wei Dynasty.
During the Sui Wendi era, Daxing City was built 30 miles southwest of the old city.
It was now Chang 'an Fortress.
After everyone figured out Wu Zetian's goal, they all looked at Li Xian.
Whoosh!
Li Xian's tensed heart slowly relaxed as he sneered in his heart.
This gamble.
He had won!
He straightened his neck and said coldly," Royal Grandmother, don't worry. I will use my actions to prove that the Li Consortium is the most qualified to sit on the Li Consortium's throne!”
"Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi, and the other kings of the Wu Clan are nothing but a bunch of dogs who bully others!”
"If it wasn't for Grandmother, they would have become a pile of bones in this place where the noble families gather!”
"If the pigs and dogs of the Wu family are unrepentant and ambitious, they are destined to be bones that everyone despises in the future!”
"Holy Emperor!" "Li Xian is a traitor!" Wu Sansi shouted. He deserves to be cut into pieces!"
Bang!
Wu Sansi's mournful shrieks came to an abrupt end.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Xian suddenly picked up the sword he had thrown away earlier and pierced through half of Xue Huaiyi's head.
"You…You…"
Xue Huaiyi's half head was very close to Wu Sansi. Wu Sansi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He pointed at Li Xian and stuttered ferociously.
Li Xian sneered disdainfully.
He lifted half of his head and placed it on top of the other half. He held his sword with both hands and stared at Wu Sansi.
A mocking sneer hung on his lips.
Under the gazes of the ministers.
He pressed his hands down forcefully.
Puchi!
The corners of many people's eyes twitched.
He looked at the sword in Li Xian's hand, skewered Xue Huaiyi's head into candied haws.
Wu Zetian's hands on her knees were clenched tightly, her face ashen.
Li Xian looked down at Wu Sansi, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of hatred and fear. He laughed mockingly."Trash!"
"A bunch of idiots like you want to sit on the throne?”
"Li Xian, how dare you!"
Princess Taiping looked at the Saint Emperor's mother's ashen face and seized the opportunity to shout angrily,""The Sage Emperor pities you for being his grandson and tolerates you in every possible way. You don't repent and become even worse.”
"BenGong will teach you the way of loyalty and filial piety today!”
Li Xian picked up the candied haws on his sword and slowly turned around…
