Chapter 279 The Twisted Melon Quenches Thirst【Please subscribe for monthly ticket】

Li Jue didn't restrain himself, nor did he intend to type out Zhao Gao's ID card.

But he was guiding both inside and outside the words, burning the fire on Zhao Gao.

The common people were a little angry, and felt that what Li Jue said was too reasonable.

After all, the biggest vested interests are the most respected legalists in Daqin today, and the representatives of the legalists are Li Si and Zhao Gao.

Li Si had been yelled at by Kong Jie in order to invite a great Confucian before, and his face was lost. It couldn't be him.

Otherwise, there's no need for him to come, and he won't lose face.

Only Zhao Gao, the legalist representative, has many disciples and countless diners, and is capable of fanning the flames.

Moreover, if Confucianism does not worship the sky, Zhao Gao will send people to sacrifice to the sky, wouldn't it be the most profitable! ?

Although everything is speculation, it is also very possible.

Li Jue's analysis was clear and logical, and everyone agreed with it.

The people were all fooled by Li Jue, thinking that it was Zhao Gao who was playing tricks, and if it wasn't him, it must have something to do with him.

Then everyone clamored for the emperor to dismiss Zhao Gao, and even supported the Confucianism to sacrifice to heaven, and they must not lose to the Legalists.

Let alone other theories ride on your head.

Kong Jie and the others went down the steps at once, but were pushed up to the high platform instead, with a strong sense of mission.

It's done.

Li Jue planned to leave, but Kong Jie felt that Li Jue was really scary.

A few words let them go out of the mountain, and a few words to divert the conflict and avenge their personal revenge.

If such a person is an enemy, it will definitely be a disaster for their Confucianism.

You can't beat it, you can't talk it.

Being an enemy of this kind of person is really courting death.

Kong Jue was already scared, but at the same time he was rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he was on the downhill, and it was also fortunate that Gai Nie was by Li Jue's side, so Li Jue would give him some face.

actually.

He was mistaken.

Gai Nie is a fart, now he no longer has the arrogance of a sword master, he is just a follower next to Li Jue, he can't wait to kneel down and ask for advice every day.

It is impossible for Li Jue to give him face.

What really caught Li Jue's fancy was some of their Confucian theories, that's all.

It can only be said that Confucianism saved them, otherwise, Li Jue would not mind cutting them all down personally.

You might even get a lot of rewards.

After Li Jue bid farewell to everyone, he planned to return to his mission, and it was time to enter Mount Tai and search for the Heavenly Book by himself.

Liu Junshou closely followed Li Jue's footsteps, and said, "Master Li, I really admire you."

Li Jue said, "It's just a trivial matter."

Liu Junshou said: "However, Master Li is too harsh on Confucianism, and he is also merciless. You should know that you should use emotion to reason, and coercion and temptation will not last long."

He added: "As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet."

Li Jue smiled and said, "A twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst. You say I am harsh, but you are kind, so why did you almost lose your own life, and almost implicate the Confucianism and the entire Shandong region?" people?"

Liu Junshou was sweating coldly, and said, "It's not that serious, is it?"

Li Jue said: "You almost lost your life yourself, you won't forget it? And because of your incompetence, Confucianism will be questioned and beheaded, and the people in Shandong will rebel and be suppressed. Isn't it because of you?"

Liu Junshou smiled wryly, which seemed to make sense.

He said bitterly: "I just said a word, but I was speechless by you. Your mouth is too powerful, I feel ashamed."

Li Jue said indifferently: "I walk all over the world with reason, but you can't walk without reason. You are speechless to what I said, which proves that I am right."

Seeing that Liu Junshou was not convinced, he pressed the Longquan sword on his waist and said, "Actually, I am not only powerful with my mouth, but also with a powerful sword. After all, I am an executioner!"

Liu Junshou was taken aback and didn't dare to complain anymore.

At the same time, I felt helpless in my heart, this eldest son was too powerful, no wonder even Zhao Gao, who had all the power in the court, was no match for him.

Zhao Gao has lost a lot of hearts recently, because he was beaten by Li Jue one after another, lost his prestige, and no one wants to take refuge in him.

Many people feel that Li Jue will surpass Zhao Gao in status sooner or later.

When the time comes, the person with the most power will probably be Li Jue.

Liu Junshou understood that Li Jue's avenging his personal revenge this time would definitely destroy Zhao Gao's prestige.

He frowned, a little puzzled.

Li Jue is so smart, doesn't he know that if he is too prosperous, he will be suspected by the emperor.

A companion is like a tiger, if the emperor suspects that he is plotting something wrong, wouldn't it be a move of his head?

Li Jue was actually not worried at all, because he didn't care about official positions, and if the emperor hadn't insisted on giving them to him, he wouldn't have wanted to be a great concubine.

If the emperor really took his official position, then he really couldn't wish for it.

If the emperor asked him to be a high official, he would definitely refuse, because he didn't care about it, and he didn't want to take responsibility.

If you don't want to be, then have nothing to fear.

He even had a little expectation that he could be slapped directly.

It would be great to be the executioner who can behead anyone, and if necessary, go directly to the sky and be happy.

Li Jue walked back quickly, but he was not in a hurry to return to his command.

Only when the Confucianists express their views can he be reinstated, otherwise the Confucianists will renege on the promise and the responsibility will be on him.

Therefore, he went directly to his residence, let Yu Ji take care of her, and enjoy the corrupt life of the landlord.

the next day.

When Li Jue was planning to enter Mount Tai, an eunuch came to report that the emperor had invited him.

Li Jue had no choice but to follow the eunuch.

He probably guessed what happened, but judging from the eunuch's expression, it seemed that it was not that simple.

Li Jue said, "Eunuch, do you know what happened?"

The eunuch bowed, not daring to answer.

Li Jue knew that most of the time someone slandered him, or the emperor got angry, and the anger was directed at him.

Inside the imperial tent.

Li Jue came with the eunuch, many people have come here, and most of them are famous people.

Only people from Confucianism were not seen, but seeing Liu Junshou also had a place, Li Jue knew that Confucianism must have been here.

Seeing Hu Hai next to his mouth reaching behind his ears, Fu Su was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot.

You know, he has something to do today.

but.

The emperor looked calm, and said: "My lord, the Confucianists have agreed to sacrifice to heaven, and Kong Jie is also fasting and bathing, and preparing for the sacrificial ceremony. You have contributed a lot."

Everyone was silent.

Li Jue looked around and knew that the emperor must have something to say, but he still had to continue, and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty, I just did my duty."

Ying Zheng said: "You have done your duty, but why do you maliciously slander other colleagues?"

Li Jue suddenly realized that the point of anger was here.

Seeing Zhao Gao's angry face, but joy in the depths of his eyes, he knew that the matter of pouring dirty water on Zhao Gao was probably brought to the table yesterday.

He said calmly, "I don't know what His Majesty's words mean."

Zhao Gao came out and said, "Stop pretending, now everyone in the street thinks that I, Zhao Gao, deliberately set Confucianism against Great Qin, and the people want to eat me."

Li Jue was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It actually happened, Mr. Zhao, did you do it on purpose?"

Zhao Gao was furious, and said: "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense, this is all your slander."

Li Jue said: "If not, then what are you afraid of, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting when you are upright, let alone you are still the official of CRRC, how can ordinary people tolerate you!?"

Zhao Gao was furious, and said: "The main reason is that I have never done it, why did you pour dirty water?"

Ying Zheng said: "Your Majesty, don't make sophistry, just tell the truth."

The tone was very cold, everyone felt that Ying Zheng was angry and Li Jue was finished.

Li Jue pretended to be wronged, and said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Don't say whether Mr. Zhao did it, even if he didn't do it, let him be wronged, and then let the Confucianism obediently obey, and the people live and work in peace. Isn't that good? !?"

Zhao Gao was dumbfounded.

The officials were also dumbfounded.

Are you still wronged?

And what kind of fallacies are you talking about! ?

Ying Zheng was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you mean?"

Li Jue explained: "Master Zhao doesn't care whether he does it or not. In short, this matter has been achieved. Confucianism is willing to write sacrificial rites, and the people are grateful for His Majesty's kindness. Isn't it enough?"

Zhao Gao was angry, and said: "Then why do you involve me?"

Li Jue took a step forward and said, "Lord Zhao, is it okay for you to win the hearts of the people and Confucianism for His Majesty, and you can't be wronged at all?"

Then he shook his head and said: "At first, I thought Mr. Zhao was loyal, but it turned out that he valued his personal reputation more than His Majesty's popular support. Alas, I misunderstood you, you treacherous minister!"

Zhao Gao was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.

Li Jue has a gun and a stick, and he turned him into a human being inside and out.

For a while, Ying Zheng didn't know what to say about Li Jue, because he actually felt that what he said made sense.

Li Si came out and said with a smile: "Could it be that the elder is a famous person, so he can be so eloquent."

The implication is that he is confounding black and white, has a glib tongue, and a white horse is not a horse.

Li Jue knew that Li Si's words were not because he was in the same rank as Zhao Gao, but probably just because he didn't want to see him become bigger and help the Legalists.

He clasped his fists and said, "That's what Li Xiang said, anyway, I'm yellow mud falling off my crotch, and it's either shit or shit."

Li Si's tone was stagnant, what a foul language, but he showed weakness, which made him in a dilemma.

Continuing to embarrass him, it seems that he is not.

Zhao Gao was even more angry, so he could only ask Ying Zheng for help, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty, if I can do things for Your Majesty, let alone be notorious, even if I lose my life, I will not hesitate."

"However, Li Jue is clearly capable of doing things for His Majesty, but he still wants to smear the seriously injured minister. His intentions are really sinister. Please punish him."

He felt that this was the end of the story, and it would be unreasonable for the emperor not to punish Li Jue.

In fact, Li Jue also felt that it was time to punish him, and it was best to be dismissed from office.

Then he happened to be relaxed.

But Ying Zheng said: "Although this move by the great concubine is superfluous, it can be regarded as a great contribution, and the merits and demerits will be offset. This time, there will be no rewards or any punishment!"

At the same time, he also said: "Master Dashu, you can't do this in the future."

Zhao Gao was dumbfounded, and there was only one thought in his mind - Lao Tzu fell out of favor.

Li Jue was also dumbfounded, and there was only one thought in his mind - I was disappointed.

The officials were also dumbfounded.

I was speechless for a while, and at the same time, I became more vigilant and valued Li Jue.

This time it seemed that there was no wind and no waves, the court was calm, and the two sides tied and shook hands to make peace.

In fact, it was Li Jue who won the victory.

Because, Li Jue didn't lose anything, and Zhao Gao's goal was not achieved.
