Lu Deming also threw caution to the wind. He clenched his teeth, disregarding his face, and said in a deep voice: "Since Ping Xiwang said it is related, then this old man is all ears."
Du Qi said with a smile: "Why do I say it is related? The reason is actually very simple. Because why can Mr. Lu often go to brothels, why can you keep bringing brothel girls back home as concubines? Is it because you have talent? I don't think so. "
"First, it's power."
"After all, Mr. Lu is the one who teaches the crown prince, he is the crown prince's master. And in the imperial court, Mr. Lu also has a rank, so even if you are not a top official, you still have influence. "
"Second, money."
"As far as I know, Mr. Lu's family is a real big family, although it can't compare with the five families and seven noble families. But thousands of acres of fertile land, some shops and houses, it is still possible. "
"Because you have money, you can often go to brothels."
Du Qi continued: "Otherwise, you are already old, you are no longer a man in bed, you can't be considered talented, the girls will receive you and be willing to follow you. It is nothing more than you have power and money. And exactly what I want to say is that Mr. Lu has money. "
Lu Deming's heart thumped.
He understood Du Qi's intention. After going around in a circle, he wants to say he has money.
Lu Deming is also an eloquent person.
He naturally knows how to debate, and also knows the art of debate.
He knows what Du Qi is going to say next, but Lu Deming can't stop it. And Du Qi continued: "Mr. Lu has always said that I, Du Qi, am rich but heartless, I am so rich that I don't live in the imperial court."
"But, Mr. Lu's family lives extravagantly. Mr. Lu, have you ever set an example by taking the initiative to use your family's wealth to fund the imperial court, set an example? "
"Never!"
"What Mr. Lu has done is to keep taking concubines, strive to have more children."
Du Qi said: "They say to be strict with oneself and lenient with others. But Mr. Lu, on the other hand, is strict with others and lenient with oneself. It's rare to see such a standard. "
Boom!!
Lu Deming's brain explodes.
He was completely dumbfounded.
How could Du Qi be so clear about his situation? It should be known that Lu Deming and Du Qi had no conflict before, and Li Chengqian's visit this time was also a coincidence.
However, Du Qi was the one who knew everything.
Lu Deming was stunned for a moment and then recovered. He looked at Li Shimin, who was sitting at the head of the table and looking at him with an unfriendly expression. His face was full of panic.
However, Lu Deming refused to admit defeat.
He could not allow himself to be beaten down by Du Qi.
Lu Deming gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, you're really scheming! You've investigated the situation of the officials in the court so thoroughly. Since you've investigated me so thoroughly, then the other officials in the court, such as Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji, Li Jing, and so on, have you arranged people to monitor them and carefully understand their situation so that you can achieve your unspeakable goal? "
At this point, Lu Deming turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, Du Qi is so scheming at such a young age. It's really scary, Your Majesty. If we don't get rid of him, the court won't be stable. "
Li Chengqian also said, "Father, Master Lu's words are reasonable. Du Qi has such a clear understanding of Master Lu's situation, I'm afraid it's the same for the officials in the court. This is a very dangerous matter, Father, please understand. "
"Shut up!"
Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian.
He had high hopes for Li Chengqian, especially since Li Chengqian had always been very smart. Li Chengqian chose to believe Lu Deming and not the truth, which made Li Shimin very unhappy.
Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin was angry, and his heart trembled, and he said no more.
He rarely saw Li Shimin so angry.
The reason was very simple. He was favored by imperial grandfather Li Yuan, and he was also smart and young. Li Chengqian felt that he did a good job in handling state affairs.
Therefore, he was rarely scolded by Li Shimin.
Now that he was suddenly scolded by Li Shimin to shut up, there was still a trace of fear in Li Chengqian's heart.
Li Shimin's sharp eyes glared at Li Chengqian, and then turned to look at Lu Deming, saying in a deep voice, "You only know that Du Qi knows your situation like the back of his hand. However, did you know that the first general of the delinquents was Du Qi? As for Zhang Jingping, he was previously the vice general of the delinquents. When Du Qi stepped down, he also stepped down and no longer held the position of vice general of the delinquents. "
Zhang Jingping's stepping down was because he had a noble title. The current Zhang Jingping was still the head of Chang 'an, and he had a fifth-rank noble title. He was not an ordinary person.
The delinquents no longer hid in the dark.
The officials in the court all knew.
The moment Lu Deming heard this, his entire person froze, and his mind went blank.
The general of the delinquents.
How could it be?
How could Du Qi be the first general of the delinquents? According to this statement, Du Qi should have been the general of the delinquents a few years ago. At that time, how old was Du Qi?
Lu Deming's body trembled. At this moment, his heart was already on the verge of collapse.
He did not expect this situation.
He did not know this situation.
Du Qi continued, "Mr. Lu, I have already roughly explained your first accusation. Now, let's talk about how I, Du Qi, am arrogant and despotic. "
"In such a big city like Chang 'an, I, Du Qi, have never bullied anyone when I do things. Even when there are often refugees gathering in Chang 'an, my factory will bring them to do things, so that they have something to do. "
"As for Zhang Jingping, he is not one of my people."
"He can be considered to be working for the court."
"Zhang Jingping is responsible for maintaining the order of Chang 'an's business, so that no one in Chang' an picks up stolen goods on the streets and closes the doors at night. In the past, there were hundreds and thousands of killings and fights in Chang 'an every year. But now, there are almost none. "
"This is all Zhang Jingping's credit."
Du Qi said coldly, "Mr. Lu, you said that I am arrogant and despotic, that I am a bully. In fact, it is meaningless no matter how you explain this matter, because the most direct question is that you can go to the city and visit randomly. You can ask anyone you want, and then you will get the real answer, not the opinion of others. "
"Mr. Lu, have you gone to ask?"
"Mr. Lu, have you gone to visit?"
"I don't think so!"
"That's right. You are always busy going to brothels and brothels. How can you have time to ask the people, how can you have time to pay attention to the lives of the poor people?"
Du Qi was not the kind of person who would be bullied.
Lu Deming wanted to bully him.
Du Qi directly retorted.
This was Du Qi's point of view.
At this moment, Lu Deming's expression changed again and again. Even standing was a little difficult for him. He kept stumbling backward, and with a plop, he fell on his butt on the ground.
He was completely refuted by Du Qi.
He was speechless.
Bean-sized beads of sweat fell from Lu Deming's cheeks. His breathing was rapid, and he was incomparably nervous.
"Pfft!"
Lu Deming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He collapsed on the ground.
He closed his eyes and fainted.
Seeing this, Du Qi shook his head and chuckled. He turned to look at Li Chengqian and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the result is self-evident. Your Highness, please judge clearly."
Li Chengqian's expression was also shocked.
Master Lu vomited blood!
Obviously, he had lost.
