Chapter 787: A wave of unevenness rises again and again
Li Zhi smiled at this time and explained to the queen: "Uncle's secret letter has a word 'waiting', which is to ask me to be patient and wait for the opportunity, and the poet's secret letter is written with four words 'Cao Di Polemic', Cao Di's polemic is from the "Zuo Chuan", and its whole essence is about the importance of momentum when marching and fighting, only when their momentum falls, that is, when 'three and exhaust', that is the best time. ”
Empress Wang had also read some books, and it was not difficult to understand the meaning of Li Zhi's words, and after listening to it, she couldn't help but nod and said: "Zhao Guogong and Li Taifu are indeed the two virtuous ministers that the Tang Dynasty relies on the most, and even the strategies they come up with are the same. ”
"Nope." Li Zhi smiled and waved his hand, "Obviously, the poet maniac is a step higher than my uncle's skills, and the poet maniac knows that I am not very smart, so I wrote four words, and I can fully understand these four words at a glance, and I only understand half of my uncle's word 'wait'." ”
Queen Wang naturally has no good impression of Li Hao, after all, it was Li Hao who made their Wang family so miserable, but she is the queen, and it is not easy to arrange the ministers of the court, not to mention that Li Zhi values Li Hao so much, she can't say much, so as not to make Li Zhi unhappy, so she can only smile and nod and say: "Indeed, Mrs. Li is a rare genius in the Tang Dynasty in a hundred years." ”
"It's not a rare sight in a hundred years." Li Zhi laughed and said, "I think it's rare to see him in a thousand years!" ”
Hearing Li Zhi's praise of Li Hao, Queen Wang and Wu Meiniang secretly frowned.
Soon, it was dark, the ministers were still kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate, in the summer night, there were so many mosquitoes, this group of ministers knelt here, the mosquitoes were the happiest, flying around them, they were hungry and stinging, this ding, that ding, for a while, Jin Wuwei on the head of the city heard the sound of "popping" from below, and some people asked curiously: "What are these adults doing below?" Fan ear scrapers? ”
"Can you really think that they are crazy, slapping ears?" A Jin Wuwei said, "It must be caused by mosquito bites, let's stand on this city wall, the night wind is strong, there are no mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes below are holding a temple fair." ”
That Jin Wuwei wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he thought that the ministers kneeling down to admonish this kind of thing was too serious to make fun of, so he forcibly held back.
The early morning sun sprinkled over Chang'an City, and a group of ministers knelt in front of Chengtianmen in a languid manner, and some people were already swaying left and right and began to doze off.
Yesterday before the sun set, there were thirty-nine people kneeling here, but now there are only thirty left, and the other nine people can't stand the mosquito bites, and go home to sleep, these nine people just came to join in the fun, want to sell their fame, but find that they can't bear the hardship, they can only retreat, of course, these nine people can be kneeling here for a night, all kinds of contempt.
Yu Zhining is old, and kneeling is very difficult for him, but he has survived until now, he now feels as if his two legs are no longer his own, because he has become numb, even if he is asked to stand up now, he can't stand up, he is so aggrieved, so angry, why is his legs so uncompromising, just kneeling all night, why is Li Zhihui so faint, knowingly, and committing such a big mistake of betraying morality......
Yu Zhining's heart was roaring, he was really heartbroken, in his opinion, Li Zhi did such a thing against morality, which was the beginning of moral decay, which would cause the Tang Dynasty to collapse and be unhappy, and the country would not be a country, and the consequences would be unimaginable, so he must admonish Li Zhi to change his mind and take back his life.
Although there are thirty people who have persisted all night, there are definitely no more than half of them who can have the same thoughts as Yu Zhining, and the others are more or less selfish, most of them want to take the opportunity to sell their names and sell their fortunes, maybe they have hope of becoming the next Wei Zheng, compared to the nine people who retreated in the middle of the night, this group of people has more perseverance and patience.
I didn't sleep all night, I didn't eat breakfast, the ministers were tired and hungry, Yu Zhining felt that his head was very heavy, and his body was very uncomfortable, but he was still forcibly supporting, after noon, it was about a year and a half to two o'clock in the afternoon, this was the hottest time of the whole day, the thermometer in Li Hao's house has shown that the air temperature is thirty-six degrees, the ground temperature is bound to be higher, the sun is like fire, scorching the earth, at this time on the street, there are few pedestrians, everyone is afraid of the heat, and outside the Chengtian Gate, the paving is all marble floor, more terrible than the cement floor, Irradiated by the sun for a while, it was so hot that the sweat of the ministers dripped to the ground, and it was immediately evaporated, and now many kneeling ministers regretted it in their hearts, because it was simply too bad, and the two legs were numb, not to mention, this was the rhythm of drying them out.
Li Zhi is still very caring, thinking that they may suffer from heat stroke in this weather, he specially asked the doctors of the Tai Hospital to wait here in case someone suffers from heat stroke.
Yu Zhining is old, how can he endure such a high temperature, plus his body is hungry and tired, he really suffered from heat stroke, and suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and the ministers exclaimed when they saw this: "Lord Yu!" Lord Yu ......, "I want to go up to help, but I don't dare to move, if I move, I will kneel in vain until now."
Seeing this, the doctors of the Tai Hospital stepped forward one after another, treated Yu Zhining, and then explained: "Lord Yu is fine." And he carried them away.
Yu Zhining was their leader, and he was the first to faint, and the others suddenly retreated, if they go on like this, they really can't afford it, and if they kneel down again, will their legs be wasted, and there will be mosquitoes that will bite them all over their faces at night......
However, now they are difficult to ride a tiger, if they leave now, how can they still have the face to mix in Chang'an in the future, they are officials.
Immediately afterwards, someone fainted from heat stroke, this time it was the Guozi priest wine, and he was not young, he was second only to Yu Zhining, now it's okay, the dragons are leaderless, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, your face is full of helplessness.
Soon, someone fainted again, this time it was actually a forty-year-old imperial history, everyone was a little suspicious, this thing is pretending to be unconscious, in order to give yourself a step down, well, after knowing this method, many people began to imitate, every ten minutes, there will be people fainting, some of them are really heat stroke, but there are also people pretending, anyway, the people in the hospital don't care, see someone fainted, come forward for first aid, and then carry away.
At ten o'clock in the evening, there was no one in front of Chengtian Gate except for the guards, and all the officials who participated in the kneeling admonition had been carried away by the Tai Hospital, some had already gone home, and some were still receiving treatment in the Tai Hospital.
Yu Zhining has returned home, he is very depressed, this time the kneeling admonition ended so hastily, it is a shame, so he sent a letter to the ministers who knelt together before, and once again kneel to admonish, he must make the emperor change his mind, and the time will be tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Yu Zhining came to Chengtianmen, but only a few people were waiting here, counted, plus he was only seven people, and after waiting for a while, three more people came, a total of ten people, the number of people was so greatly reduced, Yu Zhining was simply disappointed, he knew that ten people could not succeed, but the words had been spoken, they had to do it, and now they knelt down to admonish not only to make Li Zhi change his mind, but for Mingzhi!
With the experience of the last time, this time he knelt for a long time, and knelt until the afternoon of the next day, and ended miserably with heat stroke again, and when Yu Zhining woke up, he was already lying at home.
Feeling the pain in his legs, Yu Zhining only felt that it was nothing, because his heart hurt even more, he propped himself up, wanted to get up, his son came to help, Yu Zhining waved his hand and said: "You don't have to help me, bring pen and ink for my father, I want to write a note." ”
"Yes!" The son hurried to fetch him pen and ink.
Unfolding the book, Yu Zhining dipped the brush in ink, looked at the book for a moment, raised his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, and he can no longer serve the Tang Dynasty." After that, he suddenly put down his pen, like a dragon and snake swimming, and wrote down his resignation note, tomorrow is the court meeting, and he will hand over his resignation note at the court meeting.
As an official in the DPRK, it is similar to working in the company in the future world, the emperor is the boss, the official is the employee, and the employee gets along well with the boss, so bury his head in him, if he doesn't get along with the boss, then everyone can only break up.
The next morning, the court meeting, Li Hao came again, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't come again, the ministers muttered, should not come, should not come but come, the group of officials said very loudly, Li Hao heard it so far away, Li Zhi knows, this group of guys is talking to himself, but it doesn't matter, who told us to have a big belly, ignore them, he came today not for Wu Meiniang's business, but a new big thing happened.
After staying at the Taiji Palace, the monarch and the ministers saluted, Li Zhi was in a good mood today, because his victory was in sight, and of course he was in a good mood.
At the beginning of the court meeting, Honglu Siqing actually rushed out before Yu Zhining, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Silla envoy arrived in Chang'an with a letter of state and asked to meet Your Majesty!" ”
Li Zhi knew about this matter yesterday, and said with a smile: "Xuan! ”
"The envoys of Silla have come to see you!"
A Silla envoy with a standard Silla cake face entered the Taiji Palace, and then actually knelt down to Li Zhixing in the center of the hall and said, "Silla envoy Kim Jong-won, knock to see His Majesty the Tang Emperor!" ”
Seeing such a big salute made Li Zhi a little confused, but Li Zhi reacted quickly, raised his hand and said, "Silla envoy is flat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Tang!" Kim Jong Won got up.
At this moment, Jin Wuwei suddenly reported urgently outside the hall: "Report! The military department has an urgent war report! ”
When the ministers heard that it was an urgent war report, their hearts suddenly tightened, how could there be a war report if they were good? Which barbarian is the one who has been detained?
Li Zhi also frowned for a while, and then said in a loud voice: "Bring it in!" ”
Xu You went to the gate of the Taiji Hall to take the battle report and presented it to Li Zhi, Li Zhi took a look at the battle report, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he suddenly smashed the song Shu to the Silla envoy Kim Zhengyuan, glaring and shouting angrily: "Little Silla dares to offend me again Tang Tianwei!" You are looking for death! ”
