Chapter 189

~4 min read 760 words

Crowded.

Officials in court dress and aristocratic nobles began to talk to each other.

The hall was bustling with noise.

The atmosphere was heated.

Everyone was guessing what Li Er was going to do.

Forcing everyone to come so strongly must mean something big is happening!

It is probably still related to Qin Mu.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

Taiji Hall officials shocked (begging for subscription!)

Following a shout from the eunuch, Li Er, dressed in a dragon robe, walked slowly into the Taiji Hall.

At this moment.

He was glowing, radiating the domineering spirit of an emperor.

Majestic and solemn!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Everyone lined up in two rows and bowed respectfully.

"All ministers, please rise."

Li Er nodded indifferently.

Looking at the civil and military officials below the steps, he felt a lot of emotion.

It truly feels like a lifetime ago!

In just a few months, it really feels a bit strange.

When with Qin Mu, unexpected major events happened every day.

Like a bizarre dream.

Look at these civil and military officials before him again.

Eight or nine out of ten are from aristocratic families.

How many of them truly think for me?

And how many of them truly think for the Great Tang?

Perhaps less than one in ten?

A sense of sadness and disappointment arose in Li Er's heart.

But no matter what.

The road must still be walked.

At this very moment, perhaps Qin Mu is stepping up his development and growth.

Cannot hesitate anymore!

Thinking of this, Li Er stood up slowly, scanned the room with a majestic gaze, and said: "All ministers, I presume you all already know. During these days when I was not in Changancheng, and also not in the Great Tang, I traveled far to Tibet to personally investigate the enemy's news."

As soon as this was said, the entire Taiji Hall exploded.

In fact.

This matter was still a top secret.

Li Er impersonating a Great Tang special envoy and going to Tibet with Fang Xuanling was only known to a few people like Cheng Yaojin.

After all, as the ruler of a country, any action will affect the whole situation.

Of course.

There were naturally many powerful forces in Changancheng.

They naturally found out some news.

For example, Zhangsun Wuji.

However, most people were still kept in the dark.

Because of this.

The officials present were so excited.

Many people felt that Li Er was too childish.

If something were to happen to him, what would happen to the Great Tang's country and society?

The first to stand out was Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, your subject is guilty!"

Wei Zheng knelt down directly.

Everyone looked toward him.

"Minister Wei, what is your crime?"

Li Er felt a bit baffled.

But he knew.

Nothing good ever comes out of this old thing's mouth.

But Li Er had long been mentally prepared for everything.

This court meeting would not end so simply!

"Your Majesty disregarded the country and society of your ancestors and risked yourself alone; this is the crime of us not dissuading you."

"As the Censor, your subject bears the primary responsibility, please dismiss me from office and investigate!"

Wei Zheng held his neck high and said word by word.

The expressions of everyone in the hall were quite complex.

What a Wei Zheng!

Is this you pleading guilty for yourself?

You are clearly pointing at the mulberry to scold the locust, implying His Majesty!

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, casting sympathetic glances at Wei Zheng.

It's over, it's over!

With His Majesty's explosive temper, can he spare you?

Li Er usually listens to Wei Zheng's opinions, but he also gets furious.

Now, at his first court meeting after returning to Changancheng, Wei Zheng is so disrespectful.

According to everyone's understanding of Li Er, he will definitely be furious.

"Sigh!"

"Minister Wei, I understand your good intentions, step back for now."

Something unexpected happened.

Li Er not only showed no signs of anger but also generously admitted his mistake in public.

Everyone in the hall opened their mouths wide, unable to believe their eyes.

Heavens!

What happened to His Majesty?

Am I dreaming?

Even Wei Zheng himself was a bit stunned.

He had already prepared to be struck by thunderous rage.

Hmm?

What is going on?

Li Er looked at the surprised crowd, lost in thought.

If it were Qin Mu, how would he rule these people?

Unknowingly.

Li Er seemed to have been influenced by Qin Mu.

He wants to align with him in everything.
