The Gate of Black Tortoise was the place where Li Erlang killed his brother. It was also the place where Li Erlang rose to fame.
Ever since Li Erlang ascended to the throne, no one dared to mention the Gate of Black Tortoise because it was taboo for Li Erlang. It was also a haze in Li Erlang's heart.
But today, in front of all the officials, not only did he mention the Gate of Black Tortoise, he also humiliated the guards to express his anger.
The officials behind him were not surprised by Wei Zheng's mention of the Gate of Black Tortoise. Instead, they felt that what he said made sense.
If Li Erlang did not kill his brother, why would Mars be born today?
All of this was related to Li Erlang.
Everyone looked at the guards with anger. The anger in their hearts was self-evident.
"What?"
Wei Zheng's face darkened. He glanced at the guards and said coldly, "Didn't you want to take my life? Come on. "
Then, he purposely took half a step forward, looking like a hero.
The guards did not dare to be disrespectful. They knew how important this person was. If he dared to scold the Emperor, then what about them? But if they retreated, how could they explain it to the Emperor? Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a moment. Even the right hand holding the sword began to tremble. The veins on his forehead were bulging.
"You bastards, get out of my way. Or else, I will tear you apart."
Cheng Yaojin stood out with a pair of tiger-like eyes, looking like he was ready to fight at any moment.
"That's right. Asking you to get out of my way is your honor. Or else, I will kill you right now."
The Grand Scribe stood out as well. His right hand kept stroking the triangular blade on his waist. His bloodthirsty eyes scanned the guards.
"This..."
The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that the crowd was still blocking the way, the Grand Scribe was furious. He pulled out his tri-edge bayonet and walked towards the guards. "It seems that you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Today, I will send you to the Western Paradise."
"Brother, wait for me."
Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists, which made creaking sounds, and rushed forward like an arrow.
This posture frightened the guards. The Grand Scribe? Duke Lu? The two big shots were actually fighting for the sake of entering the palace. Everyone knew that they were no match for them and fled into the palace. They had to report the situation here to His Majesty, or else they would lose their heads.
"Hmph …"
Cheng Yaojin coldly snorted and glanced at the fleeing guards. He secretly spat, "Luckily you bastards ran fast enough, otherwise Lao Tzu would definitely cripple you."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said with a serious expression, "Lord Wei, Lord Fang, Lord Zhangsun, please leave."
Although he usually didn't like these guys, he still admired their attitude and appearance today, especially this Wei Zheng, who had a fearless face.
Seeing that the palace door was no longer blocked, the officials all walked towards the palace door at the same time. They were heading towards the imperial study.
Everyone was aggressive and had a serious expression. It was as if there was no one in the palace. Even if there were eunuchs and palace servants, when they saw this scene, they would stay far away for fear of attracting trouble.
In a moment, they arrived at the door of the imperial study. At this time, Little Guizi was standing at the door waiting for orders. When he saw the officials gathered, he was surprised. Why were so many officials gathered together? Could it be that something big had happened?
However, he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart. After all, he was His Majesty's personal eunuch. He couldn't be so ignorant.
"Sirs, why are you all gathered here today? Do you have something important to discuss with His Majesty? Shall I inform His Majesty? "
Little Guizi looked at the officials with a smile, nodding and bowing from time to time. Looking at these guys, it didn't look like anything good. It was better to be cautious.
"Get lost."
Cheng Yaojin's face darkened. He kicked him and said coldly, "What right does a eunuch like you have to speak?"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Little Guizi's reaction and stepped into the imperial study. The other officials followed closely behind. Only Little Guizi's screams could be heard.
In the imperial study, Li Shimin, who was originally reading through memorials, suddenly raised his head when he heard the noise. He saw the officials standing uniformly in the main hall. Each of them had an unfriendly expression, as if they had encountered a disaster.
Li Shimin put down the memorials and frowned as he glanced at the officials. He found that everyone was a little different from usual. Each of them had a serious expression. Even Cheng Yaojin, who was usually laughing with him, had a serious expression. He didn't see anyone come forward to salute him. However, this wasn't important. Why did everyone come together and have such a serious expression? This made him a little puzzled.
Could it be that he had made a mistake recently?
Or did he neglect his political affairs?
But he was dealing with political affairs now!
His mind was constantly turning, trying to find if he had done something wrong!
However, he couldn't find anything. He could only ask tentatively, "What's wrong with everyone today?"
"Your Majesty, you are really leisurely. You even have time to read memorials now."
