Chapter 413: Is Emperor Gai Zhang a wise ruler?
Ji Xiaolan said, "You all side with Heshen, right?"
He is worthy of being Mo Li's close friend, and he really helps when there is something going on.
Li Qiye opened his mouth wide, feigning surprise, and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't even opened my mouth yet, and these heavy hats are already coming down on me. They're going to crush me to death."
He Shen bowed and said, "Our emperor is wise and powerful, comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, and comparable to the Tang and Song Emperors. He is a man of great civil and military skills, with ten perfect achievements. He is bowed down to the four corners of the country and hailed as his vassal. How dare you tell the current emperor about this? This is intolerable."
The ministers followed suit and made a fuss.
"Yes, that's intolerable."
"This is intolerable."
Ji Xiaolan asked, "What did Mo Li do wrong? Is it worth it for you to be so confrontational?"
Mo Li said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, I just said one sentence, and he has said more than ten sentences. Is this even allowed to speak..." He showed a bitter face.
The Emperor said the word "say" several times.
Mo Li thought, "Well, I said it, "The emperor's literary and military strategies are beyond reproach. But...what about the emperor's character..."
He Shen, upon hearing this, looked as if he had committed a grave sin and said, "What? Mo Li, you've lost your mind! The Emperor's achievements rival those of the Three Sovereigns, his virtue surpasses that of the Five Emperors, and his brilliance shines brightly among the people, a man unparalleled in the ages."
The ministers followed suit and made a fuss.
"Yes, Qianqiu is the only one."
"One person in the thousand autumns."
It has to be said that Heshen's flattery was just right, and Emperor Gai Zhang enjoyed it very much.
Mo Li showed an expression that was uglier than crying, and said, "Yes, he is the only one in the history of the world. He is truly the only one in the history of the world. Haha..."
Ji Xiaolan said, "I think what Mo Li said makes sense."
Emperor Gai Zhang shouted loudly: "Mo Li, what are you laughing at? Let's talk it over nicely."
Mo Li said seriously, "Since ancient times, the king never jokes about his words, and the royal family's words are more valuable than nine tripods. Since Pangu created the world, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the present day, our emperor is the first person in the history who does not keep his word and gets rich by breaking his promise." He gave a thumbs up.
Emperor Gai Zhang roared, "Mo Li, explain yourself clearly. How did I go back on my word and become rich?" He pointed at him with his folding fan.
He Shen was in a panic and said, "Yes, our emperor is so loyal and righteous. His words are worth a thousand gold. He always keeps his promises and keeps his promises. How can he break his promises?"
Mo Li looked at him and said, "Master He, how could you have forgotten that the Emperor had once boasted in front of all the ministers in this hall that he would definitely marry Xiumei. What's the matter? Have all the ministers forgotten?"
The ministers in the room were silent.
Mo Li struck while the iron was hot and continued, "The words are still fresh in my ears, and the emperor has already changed his mind. Your words have become lies." The last sentence was particularly strong.
Emperor Gai Zhang was speechless and just stared at him.
He Shen said: "The whole court, civil and military officials, knelt all night to make remonstrations. The emperor followed the will of heaven, listened to the people's feelings, and reluctantly gave up his children's personal feelings. This is a wise ruler."
The ministers followed suit and said in unison: "A wise ruler."
"A wise ruler, a wise ruler. Your Majesty seduced a commoner woman. This is the first sign of a wise ruler. He caused her to become pregnant, but concealed it. This is the second sign of a wise ruler. He did not dare to marry her. This is the third sign of a wise ruler."
Mo Li looked fearless.
He Shen disagreed and said, "Mo Li, the emperor knows how to handle the affairs of his children. There is no need for you to interfere."
Mo Li looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, can I sue a man who betrays his heart and abandons me?"
Ji Xiaolan echoed, "Mo Li is right."
He Shen spat at him and said, "Ji Xiaolan, you have no right to speak here."
