"Good! Well said ~! "
In Taiji Palace, Li Zexuan's passionate words caused the eyes of all the generals to light up. Li Er, who was sitting at the head of the table, didn't show any change on his face, but if one was close enough, one would be able to hear that his breathing had quickened. Cheng Yaojin had never liked to hide his emotions. Old Cheng shouted, "Okay!" Then, the old man still felt uncomfortable. He laughed loudly and walked over. He patted Li Zexuan's shoulder hard and said, "Li Zexuan, I'm not going anywhere.
"Brat, you've said exactly what we old generals are thinking! The peace of our Great Tang isn't begged for, but fought for! If the Japanese aren't convinced, then we'll beat them until they are! If the other small countries aren't convinced, then we'll continue to f * cking beat them! What's there to be afraid of! "
"In the Imperial Court, your mouth is full of filth. How rude!"
Many civil officials frowned in the face of Old Cheng's foul language, but no one reprimanded him. They all knew what kind of character this devil incarnate had. However, there were also those who weren't afraid of death, and that was Cui Shanfu. This old man had completely forgotten the pain after his wounds healed. He couldn't help but reprimand him.
"Rude? I, Old Cheng, am clearly courageous! Unlike some people who, after two years of peace, shrink back and be afraid of this and that. They're really a disgrace to our Great Tang! "
Cheng Yaojin immediately snorted disdainfully at Cui Shanfu. Li Zexuan, on the other hand, secretly applauded. Cheng Yaojin's words were precisely the reason why he had changed his usual style and forcefully stood out today. Now that the world had settled down, some people couldn't wait to put away their weapons and live a peaceful and comfortable life. How could that be? The current Great Tang was still quite a distance away from the prosperous and prosperous dynasty in Li Zexuan's mind that could dominate the world!
"Who's shrinking back? This old man is just speaking the truth! Li Zexuan is just a brat who only knows how to talk big. When the time comes for the world to attack the Great Tang, what will we use to fight against the other countries? At that time, there would be wars every year, and the treasury would be empty. The common people would be plunged into misery and suffering! The slightest carelessness could lead to the downfall of the country! How can such an important matter of the country be decided by a little boy in his teens? "
When Cui Shanfu saw that Cheng Yaojin was just talking and not doing anything, he couldn't help but become bolder. The more he talked, the more excited he became. In the end, he was moved by his feelings for the country and the people.
"Chief Cui, your words are too much!"
Before Cheng Yaojin could say anything, Li Xiaogong spoke up. To be honest, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Zexuan, and the others stood up for him and supported him, which was within his expectations. However, Li Zexuan also stood up for him, which surprised him a little. This was because in his impression, Li Zexuan had always been unwilling to participate in these court battles. Otherwise, this child would not be a third rank official now. However, in reality, his daily authority was limited to the Yanhuang College's Yamachō.
"Regardless of where a hero comes from, Li Zhanshi is full of abilities. So what if he's young? A curved plough, a paper machine, a compass, a celestial lamp, and a glass mirror. These are all things that benefit the country and the people. Even if it was a thirty or forty year old scholar, would he be able to do better than Li Zhanshi?
This time, if the fleet didn't have the help of Li Zhanshi's compass and sea chart, the casualties of the army and the people going south would definitely be more than twenty to thirty percent! How can such a young hero not even have the right to speak in the court in your mouth? "
Even if Li Zexuan didn't come out to help today, Li Xiaogong would still speak up for him. This was because if it wasn't for Li Zexuan's help, this southern trade trip definitely wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
"Xiaogong, well said! So what if he's young? Cui Shanfu, when you were Xiao Xuan's age, who knows what you were doing? You still have the nerve to talk about Xiao Xuan's age? "
Cheng Yaojin looked at Cui Shanfu and said with contempt.
"You! You! You! "
Cui Shanfu's face turned red. He pointed at Cheng Yaojin and trembled for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.
Li Zexuan knew that at this time, he also had to go on stage. Otherwise, how could he always let others stand in front of him? Thus, he stepped forward and clasped his hands at Cui Shanfu.
"Minister Cui just said that this kid was just talking big. When the time comes to attack the Tang Empire, I can't do anything! Heh, how ridiculous! This kid here swears to the heavens that when the time comes, this kid is not only willing to use all of his family's wealth as military supplies, but this kid's seven feet tall body is also willing to jump on the battlefield, lay down his head, and shed his blood! The yellow sand wears golden armor after a hundred battles, and Lou Lan won't return until it's broken! This kid dares to say, dares to do, and dares to take responsibility for his actions!
As for the empty national treasury and the suffering of the people, it's not like there's no solution ~? Not to mention that this southern trade trip brought a huge amount of income to the imperial court that was comparable to the annual tax revenue of the national treasury, there's also Yanhuang College! There are hundreds of engineering students there, and what I'm teaching them is all knowledge that can make the country prosperous and the people strong! Once they complete their studies and leave the mountain, there will be hundreds of "Li Zexuan" who are good at creating wealth, and the number will only increase in the future! The lives of the people will also get better and better!
In comparison, this kid can't stand some people who are afraid before the battle. Things haven't even happened yet, but they're already afraid of this and that, cowering in fear. You must know that nothing in this world is difficult for those who set their mind to it! As long as you set your mind to it, there's nothing in this world that can't be done! The Tang Empire was founded on martial arts. If there's a day when all the important officials in the court are afraid to fight, then the country won't be far from being destroyed! If you want to be everlasting, then you must always maintain the will to forge ahead and do things that ordinary people think are impossible! You shouldn't be afraid of everything like you are now, until you achieve nothing in the end! "
Li Zexuan's words could be said to be frequent golden sentences, such as "Gold wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned until it is broken" (from Wang Changling's "Seven Military Lessons, Fourth"), "Nothing in this world is difficult for those who set their mind to it" (Song Chen Yuanjing's "Lin Guang Ji", Volume 9). These sentences had never appeared before, and every one of them sounded so classic. Perhaps Li Zexuan himself didn't pay attention to this, and he just said it casually. However, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the other civil officials couldn't help but look at Li Zexuan in a new light. They secretly thought that this kid had never shown his talent in writing before, but today, he suddenly said so many good sentences. Could it be that he improvised?
However, there was a problem. For someone like Li Zexuan who kept saying words like "destroy the country", he couldn't be said to be a coward. If it was a narrow-minded emperor, he might have been killed because of this!
"Good ~! It's rare for Li Zhanshi to have such insight at such a young age! Although this old man doesn't dare to agree with all of your previous views, this old man definitely agrees with the latter part of your words! "
To everyone's surprise, the old troll actually supported Li Zexuan.
