"Your Majesty, what do you mean by my academy? That's your academy! You're the dean of the academy! I'm just a gardener, using the academy to realize my dreams. The one who really uses it is Your Majesty, and the one who benefits is Tang Empire! When these seedlings of Yanhuang College grow up, they will definitely hold up the vast blue sky for Tang Empire! "
In the Supreme Court's prison, Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said to Li Er.
He had no choice. Being born in such a feudal society, if he wanted to develop the academy well, he had to hug the thigh of the royal family. Li Zexuan didn't want to rebel against Li Er. This boss was too strong, and he couldn't do anything! Whoever didn't want to do it, he wouldn't do it anyway!
Even in the modern world, if you want to do well, don't you need to hug the thigh of others?
Li Er's gaze was deep. He was satisfied with Li Zexuan's attitude. Although what happened a few days ago made him angry, Li Zexuan still knew when to advance and retreat most of the time!
"Brat, if you had always been so sensible, how could you have fallen to the point of being imprisoned? If it weren't for the fact that the Empress and Changle were pleading for you, I would have beheaded you long ago! "
Li Er said resentfully.
Li Zexuan said with a smile, "Your Majesty is magnanimous and wise. Naturally, it's not something that ordinary people can compare to. I believe that under Your Majesty's leadership, Tang Empire will definitely be able to catch up with the era of Qin Huang and Hanwu!"
Since Old Li was willing to come to the prison, it meant that he had no intention of killing Li Zexuan. He was only here to find a way out. For the sake of his family, Li Zexuan was willing to give Old Li a way out! Besides, he wasn't bragging. The golden age of Zhen Guan in history was indeed catching up with the era of Qin Huang and Hanwu. Now that he, a transmigrator, joined, Tang Empire would only be stronger!
"Ha! When did you learn how to flatter? If Wei Xuancheng was here, he would definitely accuse you of flattering the Emperor! "
Li Er pointed at Li Zexuan and said unhappily.
However, the slight smile at the corner of his mouth showed that he did not reject this kind of flattery!
"Brat, your intelligence is outstanding. In all of the Great Tang, there's probably no one who can compare to you! But why was he so muddle-headed this time? I've repeatedly ordered you not to touch the Cui Family, but you've caused me such a big mess in one night! You can't even bear it for a year or two? "
After rambling for a long time, Li Zexuan finally got to the point. Li Zexuan could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Anyone who had quarreled with friends before would know that under normal circumstances, if the other party didn't even pay attention to you after a quarrel or kept talking about other things, it meant that the other party was really angry. However, if the other party was willing to talk to you about the source of the quarrel, it meant that the other party wanted to resolve the conflict and eliminate the differences between them!
"Your Majesty, you have the world at heart, so of course you have to consider the big picture. However, I don't have to think so much every time. The Cui family is heartless and has killed so many people. Since I've seen it, I can't stand it anymore. Otherwise, I'll definitely dream of the cries of the ghosts in hell! I know that I've let my emotions affect my decisions, but if I were given another chance, I would still do the same! Even if I'm punished by Your Majesty, I won't regret it! "
Li Er fell silent. For some reason, he suddenly recalled what Empress Zhangsun had said to him last night:
"Your Majesty! The Marquis of Yong 'an inciting the anger of the people to destroy the Cui Family was indeed a little impulsive. However, I don't believe that with the Marquis of Yong' an's intelligence, he wouldn't have not thought of the severe consequences! However, he still did it in the end. This shows that he dares to love and hate, and hates evil. He isn't an ambitious and scheming person! Thus, I believe that Your Majesty's worries are unnecessary. The Great Tang needs a righteous hero like the Marquis of Yong 'an, and Your Majesty also needs a loyal and capable official like the Marquis of Yong' an!
Moreover, the Marquis of Yong 'an's own initiative to bind himself to the Court of Judicial Review was for Your Majesty's sake! He knew that with his current reputation among the people, if Your Majesty were to punish him, Your Majesty's reputation among the people would definitely be affected! With such a straightforward official, I don't wish for Your Majesty to make the wrong decision because of some groundless suspicions! I implore Your Majesty to reconsider! "
After a long silence, Li Er finally recovered from his contemplation. He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he also felt an inexplicable sense of loss. He looked at Li Zexuan with a complicated gaze and said:
"The Cui Family is truly abominable, but you, a brat, inciting the people to riot is also unforgivable! If not for the Imperial Court doing its best to clean up your mess, Chang 'an would have been thrown into chaos in the next few days! Seeing that you were able to reflect on your actions in the last few days, We will punish you with two months of seclusion. While you're at it, you have to submit a letter of self-reflection within three days! "
Hearing the light punishment of 'two months of seclusion', Li Zexuan couldn't help but rejoice, thinking that Old Li was finally willing to let this matter pass. However, when he heard the 'letter of self-reflection', Li Zexuan's eyes widened and his forehead was covered in black lines.
"What's wrong? You're not willing to write? That's fine too … "
Li Er glared at Li Zexuan and was about to say something, but Li Zexuan quickly interrupted and said: "No, no, no! Your Majesty! I'm willing to write! I'm very willing to write! "
In his heart, he was silently criticizing Old Li Zexuan for forcing his son, Li Tai, to write a letter of self-reflection!
"Hmph!"
Li Er snorted and finally dropped the subject!
After a pause, he sighed deeply and said: "Obtaining the world has the Dao. Obtaining the people is the same as obtaining the world. Obtaining the people's Dao and obtaining their hearts is the same as obtaining the people. The collapse of the Cui Family overnight can be considered as a wake-up call for me! "
Li Zexuan secretly nodded. Li Er was indeed Li Er. After realizing the power of the people, the first thing he thought of was not to suppress them, but to obtain their hearts and use them for himself! What a bold spirit!
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a ruler is a boat; a commoner is water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! The Cui Family thought that the people were weak and powerless, so they wantonly oppressed the people and harmed the servants. They had no respect for the people and finally died in the vast ocean of the people! Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people. You are wise and mighty, and will definitely be supported by the people. The big boat of Tang Dynasty will also be carried by the people and will never sink! "
Li Zexuan clasped his hands and said with emotion.
He could only say sorry for unintentionally stealing someone's famous words!
Li Er's eyes lit up and said: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! Haha! Well said! Well said! Hearing this, my trip today was not in vain! "
Li Er, who had a clear mind, laughed and walked out of the prison. The power of the people united was indeed great, but as long as the people became the water that carried the boat, what was there to fear?
