For a moment, Feng De, who was in his sixties, was speechless. He opened his mouth but did not make a sound.
His expression was even uglier, as if he had eaten two catties of shit.
The court was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
On the dragon throne, Li Er felt so good that he was about to fly away.
"This group of remonstrants and historians usually catch a mistake or small mistake of mine and infinitely magnify it, criticizing it in all sorts of ways.”
"You can't wait to scold me until my ancestors 'graves are smoking.”
"Where's that arrogance now? Where's the arrogance from before?”
Awesome, really awesome, really awesome!
In this short while, Li Er only cared about having fun.
The civil officials broke out in cold sweat.
Which of the historians and remonstrants hadn't criticized Li Er, and which of them hadn't said some extreme words?
Now, Lu Chen had classified those actions as the crime of deceiving the emperor.
None of them could bear the big label of deceiving the emperor.
Since ancient times, in every dynasty, as long as there was a crime of deceiving the emperor, which family was not executed!
Usually, they were used to being so rude. Li Er was also good-tempered. He wanted to go down in history and be a good emperor, so he did not pursue them.
Now that Lu Chen had pointed it out, it was obvious that he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
"Your Majesty, we have offended you before. We deserve to die!”
"Your Majesty, I spoke without thinking and was too extreme. I can't escape punishment!”
"This old minister has spoken without restraint, and I am extremely regretful!”
……
With a few words, Lu Chen directly made those historians and remonstrants. They all knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
These people felt bitter…
Shouldn't children in their teens be innocent, honest, and hardworking?
However, this Lu Chen was simply a young demon who killed without shedding any blood!
With just a few words, he directly placed the blame of death on so many officials.
Now, these oranges already had the intention to retreat and did not want to stop Lu Chen from being conferred.
After all, his life was the most important!
"Alright, get up. I'll pardon you!”
When Li Eryi spoke, the officials finally heaved a sigh of relief.
To Li Er, it was impossible to kill so many officials.
Once he was killed, he would definitely become a tyrant!
This time, Lu Chen's warning was very timely. Presumably, it would make the officials restrain themselves.
Li Er thought that he had temporarily turned the page and was ready to continue conferring titles, but he never expected another voice to come.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is indeed inappropriate!”
"Moreover, generals fight to the death and civil officials die to remonstrate. This has been the role model for officials since ancient times. Isn't it a little too serious to directly label it as deceiving the emperor?”
"Ministers, for the sake of the country, you risked your lives to remonstrate with His Majesty, but you were slandered by this brat as deceiving the emperor!”
"This subject believes that this is a malicious provocation to harm a loyal general of the Great Tang!”
All the officials looked in the direction of the voice and realized that it was Wei Zheng, who had been silent all this while. He had stood up at the critical moment.
Among the civil officials, especially the remonstrants, Wei Zheng was the backbone of everyone.
Just now, Feng De had been spat out by Lu Chen and almost lost his reputation.
It seemed that Wei Zheng was prepared to help Feng De and all the remonstrants and civil officials!
The Great Tang Imperial Court was also filled with factions, and they were deeply intertwined.
What Lu Chen did just now had directly touched the interests of these civil officials, so naturally, someone would take action.
Seeing Wei Zheng stand up, Feng De seemed to be motivated again.
"Lord Wei Zheng is right. We were indeed a little too extreme previously, but it's not the crime of deceiving the emperor. You're trying to harm us!”
"Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will seek justice for the officials of the Great Tang!”
Feng De also went all out, directly pulling out the banner of seeking justice for the ministers.
However, Lu Chen was not afraid at all.
"Hmph, to think that you're already over fifty years old and about to die. You're speaking ill of a junior like me and even insulting my parents!”
"Even crows will feed back, and even lambs will kneel and give milk to repay kindness. Lord Feng publicly insulted my father, which shows that you don't treat your father well either.”
"Lord Feng was the first to enter the Zhou Dynasty and then the Sui Dynasty. He changed his master many times.”
"Moreover, he made things difficult for me, a junior, several times. His ambition did not die, and he formed a party to counterattack!”
Lu Chen snorted coldly, and his voice turned colder.
"How dare a traitor like you, who is disloyal, unfilial, oppresses the younger generation, and forms cliques, stand in the morning court of the Imperial Palace!”
"You're really shrewd with age. Can you not have that old face anymore?”
"Moreover, that old mouth of yours is extremely smelly and vicious. It just so happens that I have the strength to lift a cauldron and tear your old mouth apart.”
Lu Chen's series of verbal attacks were even more violent than the sword lights on the battlefield. Feng De did not have the slightest ability to resist, let alone retaliate.
The other ministers were even more frightened and broke out in cold sweat.
They were lucky that they did not get in the limelight and did not provoke Lu Chen.
How was this a ten-year-old child? He was clearly the devil of the world!
Moreover, Lu Chen's mouth was equally vicious, as if he had grown up eating poison!
It was completely killing without spilling blood. It was really a matter of life and death!
This was a genius, a monster!
These words had really ruined Feng De's entire life.
In the Great Tang, what people valued the most was not power, status, money, or material goods.
The most important thing was reputation and integrity!
This was especially true for the ministers who were present in the morning court. They were not lacking in worldly things like money and were already satisfied.
The only thing on their minds now was to have a good reputation. Their greatest pursuit was to leave a good mark in history.
However, after Lu Chen's words just now, Feng De could no longer leave his name in history.
The reputation that he had painstakingly built for half a lifetime was completely ruined!
This was worse than killing him!
