Chapter 118

"I think that people who sacrifice to heaven should have both virtue and ability to convince the public." old Chen Ge thought a little and got up.

"Which prince does Aiqing think is more suitable?" the emperor asked.

"The two princes are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and the minister dare not talk nonsense," Chen GE's old body is very straight, "but I heard about King Cheng's entry into Beijing a few days ago. I thought it would be difficult to explain to the officers and men of the three armed forces if King Cheng was elected."

"Chen GE's words are bad," said Li Ge on the other side, stroking his beard. "Although King Cheng behaved improperly, he was filial, but he didn't grasp the proper measure. How can it be difficult to explain to the officers and men of the three armed forces? The mission of the officers and men is to protect the country. If he is angry just because of this small matter, Dajue is in danger!"

Prime Minister Wen glanced at Li Ge and took a sip from his tea cup.

"Mr. Li Ge really deserves to be a model of contemporary literati," said the old Bai Ge coldly. "Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is to protect the country. According to Mr. Li Ge, it's right for soldiers to work hard on the battlefield. It's generous of you to give them face, and it's not too much to disrespect them?"

Li Ge was blocked by him and hesitated for a long time.

"Officers and men are the foundation of Da Jue. Without these thousands of officers and men throwing their heads and blood on the border, can you Li Ge safely say something like 'Da Jue is in danger'... Nonsense?" Bai Ge got up and saluted the emperor, saying in righteous words, "Please don't blame your majesty. As a general who has been on the battlefield, I really can't see anyone standing and talking without waist pain."

Prime Minister Wen brushed the fly ash on his sleeve and looked at the different gestures of the several people.

"You... Your majesty, I don't want to!" old Li Ge also saluted the emperor with a sincere face. "I just feel that his highness King Cheng has been punished, so why hold on to this matter?"

"With all due respect, old minister Bai Ge straightened his body and said," when his Highness Prince Cheng led folk artists to Beijing, he could be silent, but the people in Beijing learned the news that the artists were going to Beijing two or three days in advance. What should we do if there are dishonest people who take this opportunity to sneak into the palace? This is one of them; "

"The motorcade that came to Beijing came all the way, and the people and horses were tired. Why did you have to blow all the way to Beijing to increase your fatigue? His Highness Prince Cheng obviously had no mercy on the artists. This is the second reason."

"Knowing that the army was going to Beijing on the same day, he pretended to be ostentatious, which attracted most of the people to the artists, regardless of whether the soldiers of the three armed forces would be cold hearted or not."

"It is well known among the people that Cheng Wang wants to dedicate folk artists to his majesty. Naturally, he also feels that his Majesty's harsh treatment of officers and soldiers has brought dust to his Majesty's reputation. He borrowed the name of benevolence and filial piety, but he did something unkind and unfilial. This is the fourth!"

"Your Majesty, how can such a prince be a great responsibility!"

"As the leader of contemporary literati, Li Ge doesn't even understand these principles? After a mere sentence of punishment, he wants to exonerate King Cheng. What's your intention!"

Li Ge's face turned white.

The emperor looked at the old Li Ge, whose beard was trembling, without saying a word for a long time.

Prime Minister Wen still looked at the teacup in front of him in a daze.

"Two Aiqing, please sit down first." after a while, the emperor opened his mouth and his face was dark. "What else does old Chen Ge have to say?"
