Chapter 1565 Brother, drink!(1/2)
Chang'an, city gate.
When we were about to reach the city gate, the wind and snow stopped. When we saw His Majesty, the clouds were clear and the sun rose. It seemed that colorful lights tear open the clouds and shone outside the gate of the imperial capital.
The light fell on Li Chi without any hesitation, and also on Tang Pidding who was kneeling in front of Li Chi.
There was still some dimness around, but this was a beam of light, which made both of them feel as if they were isolated from the world. There was only the two of them in this light, and there was nothing else.
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister..."
"Get up and talk."
"I should not stand up because of my guilt, and I dare not stand up."
"Then I want me to pull you up? If I can't pull you up, I want me to carry you into the city?"
"I...follow the order."
"Walking with me all the way back to Weiyang Palace, many people on both sides of the street are waiting to see you. I don't want anyone to see you are disgraceful."
Li Chi turned around: "Ding Qing'an! Change the general's brocade clothes for him!"
Ding Qing'an, the eunuch in the imperial study room, immediately stepped forward and handed over the general's brocade clothes he was holding in both hands.
Li Chi looked at Tang Pidian's eyes and said, "If you take off this brocade dress, I will bring it to you."
Tang Piddi took a deep breath, then took off his long cloth robe and changed into the dazzling general's regular uniform.
"No one can see you bow your head except me. After entering this city gate, you raise your chest and raise your head. You are still the general of Daning."
Li Chi turned around and said, "Follow me."
Tang Pidian took a deep breath again and stepped up to follow Li Chi.
The streets of Chang'an City are full of people. The general has not returned to Chang'an City for fifteen years. Now that he is back, who doesn't want to see it?
The moment the Emperor and General of Daning entered the city gate, the people looked up and some couldn't help but cheer.
"Let's go side by side with me."
Li Chi lowered his voice and said, Tang Pidian then quickly stepped forward and walked side by side with Li Chi.
"Your Majesty, I have let you down."
Tang Pidian replied in a low voice.
"fart."
Li Chi smiled and greeted the people on both sides, and waved his hand and said, "I have bragged a lot of good deeds over the years, but what I am most proud of is that Tang Pidian is my brother, and I will continue to brag about this good deeds."
Everyone followed Li Chi and Tang Pidun, looking at His Majesty and the General walking side by side, it seemed that they had returned to the past one after another.
"You won this time."
Li Chi said as he walked, "You have always wanted me to waive your throne. I have never wavered before, but this time I have to waver."
Tang Pidian said, "So I have let down Your Majesty."
"You don't."
Li Chi said: "If you let me down, I will seal your general's brocade clothes instead of bringing them to you."
"The people in Chang'an City are still unaware of this matter, but soon not only the people in Chang'an City, but the people in the whole world will learn about it."
Li Chi turned his head and looked at Tang Piddi: "I have never thought of suppressing this matter. You should understand me the most."
Tang Pidian said: "I understand, I have never thought of suppressing this matter, otherwise I would not have led my troops to Yunzhou City."
Li Chi nodded: "I will keep the throne for you for the time being, and in the future..."
Before he could finish his words, Tang Pidian had already interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, I have never thought of taking this opportunity. Tang Anchen is my younger brother, my second son of my father, and I..."
Li Chi said: "There is no need to explain these words to me. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world. The most open and honest must be you. If you say the four words "open and honest, even I am not as good as you."
Tang Piddi was about to speak, but Li Chi stopped him again.
"Don't talk about this anymore. It touches on national laws. Punishing according to sin is... I just want to drink with you now."
Tang Piddi nodded: "So is the case with me."
Weiyang Palace, above the main hall.
Ding Qing'an held the imperial edict in both hands and read it. The civil and military officials in the court stood solemnly in the hall and listened to the proclamation, each of them holding their breath and concentrating.
In fact, everyone has guessed what the ending will be. I am afraid that the title of General King has to be taken down.
Your Majesty can suppress the dissatisfaction of the ministers, but Your Majesty cannot ignore the dissatisfaction of the people in the world.
Your Majesty has always said that the difference between Daning and Chu is that national laws are national laws, and national laws cannot be tolerated, national laws cannot be tolerated.
If this incident is spread, the people will feel that this incident cannot have nothing to do with Tang.
With all the words, the imperial power can be conquered.
Your Majesty's decree to take away the title of General King of Tang and change it to Duke of the Kingdom, but he is still ranked first among all the ministers.
Tang Anchen was demoted to a commoner. At the request of General Tang Pidian, His Majesty allowed him to seize the surname of Tang Anchen, which was Shu.
In the hall, only Ding Qing'an read the imperial edict, and all the civil and military officials listened quietly.
It was not until the decree was read out that all the civil and military officials bowed down.
I thought the matter had come to an end, but at this time, the Censor Gao Youlian, the Censor of the Censorate, took the list.
He asked His Majesty to dismiss the position of military affairs officer of the Northwest Daying. As soon as he said this, the officials in the hall couldn't help but take a breath.
If you want to talk about courage, Gao Youlian is really brave.
After listening to it, Li Chi just replied to Gao Youlian: "You go find a basis. If there is a law to follow your advice, I will listen to you."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
After His Majesty left, Gao Youlian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Not only did she not be scared by His Majesty, she also felt a little relaxed.
Gui Yuan Shu, the Minister of Justice, passed by Gao Youlian, and stopped, then raised a thumbs up at Gao Youlian.
"Mr. Gao, admire me."
"I admire me too."
Gao Youlian gave Guiyuan Shu a white look: "I won't say this, you said?"
Guiyuan Shu shook his head repeatedly: "I won't say it... If you say it, Your Majesty will ignore you at most. If I say it, Your Majesty will call me and scold me."
Gao Youlian: "I will be happy if Your Majesty calls me and scold me."
After saying that, the old man snorted and left casually.
But after a few steps, he came back and lowered his voice in Guiyuan Shu's ear and said, "Your Majesty will hold a banquet to entertain the general. I may cause trouble at the banquet... You will pull me at that time."
Guiyuan Skill: "What does this mean by Gao Dadi?"
Gao Youlian said: "The General has finally touched the law. Your Majesty's handling is very light, and he also has to hold a banquet and welcome him with great fanfare. As the Chief Censor, I should scold the General at the banquet..."
He patted Guiyuan Shu on the shoulder: "There are not many people who can entrust such a thing to me. Master Gui, you must help me..."
Guiyuan Shu: "Have you ever thought about it? In fact, if you just want to show your attitude, you can't go to the banquet for Your Majesty."
"Of course not."
Gao Youlian said righteously: "If I don't go, I'm just a coward. As the chief censor, I can't be cowardly. You are the Minister of Justice. You have the national laws above your head, and I am the chief censor. There are not only national laws above my head, but also morality."
Guiyuan Shu sighed: "This job is indeed not something that ordinary people can do."
Gao Youlian said, "What can I do? Don't I know that the general is the most likely person in the world to have a rebellious heart? But I will scold him for being a traitor at a banquet later."
Guiyuan Shu: "You want to scold me so fiercely?"
Gao Youlian: "There are even more fierce people behind it, but I think this sentence is enough for the traitor. You will interrupt me at that time... Please."
Guiyuan Shu sighed again: "Okay, okay...but, Lord Gao, you owe me a favor. I have a handle to you in the future. You should be gentle when scolding me in front of all the civil and military officials of the court."
Gao Youlian: "Isn't this difficult for me?"
Guiyuan Skill: "Bah, I won't help you anymore."
Gao Youlian quickly grabbed the Guiyuan Technique; "I will do my best, do my best."
At the dinner, everyone came to Tang Pidian to toast. Although Tang Pidian seemed to have made a mistake and returned to Beijing, everyone knew that this mistake was a big cause from heaven, and the general had to carry it on his back.
Besides, the general has not returned to Chang'an for fifteen years. This time, even if it is just a polite thing, he should come over to toast.
Guiyuan Shu came over and had a drink with Tang Pideng. Just as he was about to return to his seat, he saw Gao Youlian coming with a glass of wine.
Guiyuan Shu felt nervous and said, "Master Gao, come here with a glass of wine. This purpose is too obvious."
Sure enough, Gao Youlian came to Tang Pidian and called out the general. When Tang Pidian stood up and returned the gift, Gao Youlian raised her hand and was about to pour the wine over, and her face began to be thoughtful and had a chance.
As a result, Guiyuan Shu's eyes were fast and he pressed Gao Youlian's wine glass back.
No drop of wine was spilled out, and Guiyuan Shu pressed his hands so tightly.
Tang Piddi was a little confused when this pressed, and Gao Youlian was also a little confused.
