Chapter 133: Dragon Sky (Make-up for 12)

Everyone was surprised. Although they had their own motives for proposing punishment this time, even the ministers who were close to the Li Clan and argued with them only used excuses like Li Hao being young and ignorant, spoiled and arrogant, and inevitably frivolous.

Where did this talk of soaring ambition and patriotism come from?

It wasn't easy to get these rotten, sour scholars to say such praise.

The Grand Tutor said respectfully: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, my student returned from Qingzhou City and sent back a book of poetry. According to my student, the poems on this are all written by the young master of the Li family. He verified it from many sources, and there is absolutely no falsehood!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang was surprised. That Li Hao could actually compose poetry?

Thinking about it, the other party could play chess, so what was difficult about composing poetry?

In his heart, chess was much harder than composing poetry.

Of course, this could never be revealed to the scholars of the Hanlin Hall in front of him, otherwise, they would definitely argue until his head cracked, insisting on a reason.

"Having obtained this poetry collection, I only feel ashamed. We scholars read the books of sages all day, watching the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains of the world, but in the end, we are not as talented and broad-minded as a child sitting in the courtyard all day, which is truly shameful to face Your Majesty."

When the Grand Tutor said this, he raised his hand to cover his face slightly, showing a look of sighing and regret.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This old guy must have been bewitched.

When had they ever seen the word "ashamed" spoken from their mouths?

Usually, they would argue three points even if they were unreasonable, but today they actually said "I admit defeat"?

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang was also hooked into being even more curious, and said: "Grand Tutor, stop keeping us in suspense, say it quickly, what is the reason?"

Grand Tutor Zhao Shugong, seeing this, took out the poetry collection from his loose sleeves and presented it with both hands.

When Eunuch Chu Jiuyue, who was beside Hearing Hearing Yu Huang, beckoned to take it, Zhao Shugong looked at that Liangzhou Commander again, flicked his sleeves, and his gaze was like electricity:

"It is true that they fought as father and son, and it is true that it violates moral principles, but to say that it is unacceptable regardless of the reason—that is where you are wrong!"

"Our Great Yu respects etiquette, but we absolutely do not strictly adhere to dead etiquette!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't we be a group of old and pedantic people?"

Weren't they?

All the martial generals were secretly curling their lips.

Zhao Shugong, however, was burning with gaze, and said loudly: "May I ask everyone, can a person who can say 'Only understand dying for the country on the battlefield, why need horse leather to wrap the corpse' be considered patriotic?"

"Can a person who can say 'Since ancient times, who has never died in life, keep a loyal heart to shine on the history books' be considered patriotic?"

"Do not talk about the matter of being enfeoffed as a marquis, one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither!!"

Zhao Shugong looked straight at the Liangzhou Commander, his eyes intense, his voice vibrating in the court: "This is to advise not to mention being enfeoffed as a marquis, one general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither! He feels compassion for the soldiers who died in battle, and does not aim for fame!"

"May I ask everyone, a person who can value the world so heavily and look at fame so lightly—what kind of person would he be?!"

"Just based on this point, how many people can do it?!"

Everyone was stunned, somewhat speechless, but immediately felt indignant. You say what you say, what does this look mean? It seems like we are all here for fame.

The Liangzhou Commander's face changed slightly. Those few sentences brought him no small impact.

He was angry at the Qingzhou youth, more because he was worried that Tianmen Pass would be breached, and when demons invaded, he would have to bear the brunt of slaying demons.

But that sentence, "Why need horse leather to wrap the corpse"!

As someone who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had seen the tragedy of the battlefield, and also seen those soldiers who couldn't even leave a whole corpse.

This sentence made his eye sockets wet.

The inner hearts of those soldiers when they fought to the death and guarded—what was it if not this?

It was just because their mouths were clumsy and they couldn't express it.

At this time, Hearing Hearing Yu Huang was also flipping through the poetry collection handed over by Chu Jiuyue, reading quietly, his expression becoming solemn and silent.

"Even if he is patriotic, a good general and loyal minister, it is an indisputable fact that he drew his sword to behead his father!" Suddenly someone said.

Zhao Shugong looked at that person and sneered: "It is indeed a fact, but must a fact be the truth?"

That person was stunned, asked by this sentence until he was dumbfounded, his thinking all messed up.

Otherwise, how could these stinking sour scholars be so eloquent? One sentence asked him until he was stuck.

"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, seeing with eyes is not the truth."

Zhao Shugong said coldly: "Taking a step back, even if it is true, is King Xing Wu himself completely without fault?"

"Isn't it serious enough to punish him to Tianmen Pass? May I ask everyone, who dares to go and guard that Tianmen Pass?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless. They were talking about father and son killing each other, how did the fire burn to them again.

"Such a young man with a sincere heart, can treat the people like this, can he not tolerate his own father? I think there must be other reasons inside, we need to investigate clearly before speaking!" Zhao Shugong said loudly.

The crowd who had previously proposed punishing Li Hao looked at each other.

With the Hanlin Hall standing on their side, plus those who were originally controversial, this matter probably wouldn't be able to occupy the reason.

"What can a few poems explain? Just talking, who can't?" Another voice sounded, it was another Liangzhou Commander, his expression indifferent.

Zhao Shugong sneered and said: "Then you try to say it."

"I am only good at marching and fighting, not good at composing poetry, but I can still say a few plain words: loyal to the monarch and patriotic, we will not hesitate to die!" That commander said.

Zhao Shugong snorted coldly: "If the chest is not surging, it is impossible to compose such profound and bone-deep poetry. This kind of plain talk of yours is something everyone can say."

As great scholars, after reading this collection of poems, they had a very good impression of that young man they had never met.

Seeing the poems is like seeing the person. They knew that if it were a person with a crooked mind, one or two might be okay, but it was absolutely impossible to compose so many loyal poems.

At first, they didn't believe it either, but later they kept inquiring and understanding from many sources, only to be sure that these were really all written by that young man alone.

Among these rough and barbaric martial generals, such a talented junior could be born, which made a group of great scholars sigh and be shocked, and it could be considered an eye-opener for them.

"Turning and fighting for three thousand miles, one sword can block a million teachers!"

At this time, in the court, Hearing Hearing Yu Huang's voice came out lightly, and everyone felt a shock in their hearts.

What a magnificent poem!

The brilliance also slowly shot out from Hearing Hearing Yu Huang's eyes, and the image of the heaven-gifted genius youth in Qingzhou became clearer in his mind.

"Good poem, good boy!"

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang smiled, not sparing praise.

Those who wanted to argue a few more sentences changed their expressions slightly and fell silent.

With Hearing Hearing Yu Huang speaking, there was no point in discussing this matter anymore.

Probably they could only pray that the wind and snow outside the border could really crush that young man...

The court was dismissed.

In the Ganming Palace.

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang paced here, Chu Jiuyue slightly bent his body and followed behind him.

"You saw that child at the True Dragon Banquet, how do you feel?"

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang walked slowly, stopping casually in front of a flower tree, but there was only one flower on the tree, and snowflakes drifted on the branches.

Seeing this, he suddenly thought of a poem in the poetry collection:

"Wait until autumn comes to September 8, after my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed!"

The corners of his mouth curled up. That little guy's chess offensive was fierce, and it was not strange that he could compose such murderous poetry.

Chu Jiuyue thought for a moment, bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I observed that the child's behavior is free and easy, but his temperament is steady, not like a frivolous and arrogant person. The cause of that day was indeed that the Buddha Lord's direct disciple started the killing intent first. Although it was extremely subtle, I still captured it..."

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Buddha Lord..."

He looked into the distance and said softly: "It's snowing. I don't know how that child is doing outside the pass. I heard that King Xing Wu withdrew all the troops there. It seems he has already guessed the hint in my words before and intends to abandon that place."

Chu Jiuyue lowered his head and didn't make a sound. He knew that sometimes he should talk less.

"If you have time, you go on a trip. I heard that the child went out in a hurry and didn't even have a sword. You send one for me."

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang smiled and said: "Just send that... Dragon Sky."

Chu Jiuyue was shocked in his heart. That was the head of the ten famous swords in the world.

The Emperor's love for that Li Clan youth seemed to be even better than he imagined.

"Yes." He bowed and promised.

"Tiangang is not afraid that his son will die, but I am a little afraid..."

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang laughed lightly and said: "By the way, tell him that if he is tired, he can return to Da Yu Prefecture. I allow him to enter the outer hall of the Dao Palace to study and live with the princes."

Chu Jiuyue's pupils shrank slightly, still bowing and promising.

Liangzhou Border, Tianmen Pass.

Cangya City, which only had a small mound left.

Heavy snow drifted, falling on the camp tents, covering the demon corpses that fell yesterday.

"It's snowing."

Li Hao stopped writing the technique, covered it with object-controlling power to prevent the snowflakes from touching the paper and soaking it.

"On a snowy day, it's not convenient for fishing..."

Li Hao muttered to himself, looking in the direction of Qingzhou, not knowing if it was snowing there, and if the lake surface had started to freeze...

"Today, you two should also consider leaving."

Li Hongzhuang said to Li Hao and Li He.

Li Hao's gaze moved slightly, looking at her quietly.

Li Hongzhuang smiled indifferently and said: "When you went to wipe out their lairs yesterday, did you interrogate the situation of the Dragon Mountain Dojo? There is more than one Three Imperishable Realm Great Demon over there. You killed Chi Hu Jun, the mount of that old dragon; they will definitely retaliate!"

"Over the years, they have been slow to attack with full force. I suspect it's intentional."

Li Hao thought of the things he investigated and asked: "Then do you know the reason?"

"There are several possibilities. The first is to use this to demand more living sacrifices from the Northern Rin Kingdom. The second is to slowly erode our Li Clan. After all, breaking through Tianmen Pass directly is of little significance. The Dragon Pass Road has long been occupied, and they can already invade at will, just not on a large scale."

"On the contrary, trapping us here can also continuously consume us. That old dragon might have a grudge against our Li Clan ancestors and did it on purpose."

Li Hao nodded. It seemed Li Hongzhuang knew everything too.

"But today, they will probably come with anger and won't go easy." Li Hongzhuang said.

As her words fell, the ground also seemed to vibrate violently.

The three people's gazes looked outside the camp at the same time.

There, several huge and towering figures appeared at the end of the field of vision. ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
