"Since there are loyal ministers, there must be foolish monarchs. If there are no foolish monarchs, where will the loyal ministers come from? Fu Zuolin, trapping me in a foolish manner. Is this what famous officials should do?" Zhu Youlang asked coldly.

"I dare not. The emperor turned the tide and resolved the people's upside down, broke the myth of the invincible Qing soldiers, and was a very powerful and wise man. He was actually a rare wise ruler." Fu Zuolin was stunned, but he did not expect the emperor to say such words.

"According to your theory, I am a wise monarch. Although wise monarchs are clear, they will also have faults, right?"

"Yes." Fu Zuolin was straightforward.

"It seems that you have a lot of things to say. If you don't let you say it, you still don't know how to scold me for being stupid. Well, just say it, what's my fault?"

"The emperor, the minister is honest and straightforward, speaks frankly, and is open and upright, and dare not complain to the king and father in his heart."

Fu Zuolin pushed up one by one, making Zhu Youlang feel very cowardly: "Mad, I am an emperor, a small censor dares to take it so hard that I can't come to Taiwan."

"What a stern person, then just talk about it, what is my fault?"

Zhu Youlang sneered.

"If you want to accept a Hu wife, it is a bad policy; if a censor is imprisoned, it is a fault." Fu Zuolin replied.

Zhu Youlang was angry and thought to himself: "Mom is criticizing me. I just want to marry a minority wife. Why is it a bad policy? Tian Yingyuan, a wise man, is a famous person. What's wrong with me being imprisoned? I'll marry him and get caught. What are you doing?"

He wanted to do it recklessly, but when he thought about it, the small country of Yongli was just established, just like a young child, and could not withstand the wind and rain. Foreign enemies were invading, and the internal situation could not be in chaos anymore.

Li Yongmao, Fu Zuolin and others probably saw this and dared to force the palace.

They have to convince themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlangqiang pressed his anger and glanced at Li Yongmao: "Li Yongmao, you have been wanting to speak just now, what do you want to say? Does it mean the same as Fu Zuolin?"

Li Yongmao knelt for a while, his knees were as painful as needles. He had long wanted to move, but he was afraid that the emperor would lose his manners, so he had to endure it forcibly. He heard the emperor's question, and he quickly took advantage of the opportunity to move his knees, bowed his head, and answered: "Reply to the emperor's words, I am indeed the case. The emperor, loyal words are unpleasant, good medicine is bitter, all the ministers are loyal to the emperor, and they forget that the emperor should not blame them. If he is punished, he can only blame the minister."

After Li Yongmao said that, Zhu Youlang became even more angry. You are so fucking that it’s time and are still thinking about selling it?

Just as he was about to speak, Chen Bangyan flashed out: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask Shangshu Li for a few words, please allow me to let you."

"allow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Bangyan thanked the emperor for his kindness and turned to Li Yongmao and said, "Mr. Li, there are three things that Chen is unclear. Please ask Lord Li to explain. First, is the barbarians based on race and blood ties or moral etiquette as the standard? Second, the emperor has long said that all my Ming Dynasty are my people, and they have expressed their intention to regard foreign races as brothers. If the emperor thinks that the emperor's argument is inappropriate, why didn't he speak out at that time? But today's servants are endless, but why? Third, the emperor follows Long Yu Zhaoqing, who is a close minister of the emperor. Even if the emperor has made mistakes, you can secretly make Chen secretly. Why do you take all the ministers to force the palace to force the palace? Or do you think the emperor cannot listen to the unpleasant loyal words? Chen was puzzled by these three questions, and asked Lord Li to answer Chen's doubts in front of the emperor and the ministers."

After Chen Bangyan asked these words, Zhu Youlang was overjoyed. He really felt that every pore was comfortable.

That's right! The question is so good!

Moreover, I asked what I was thinking.

The most important thing is that I don’t have to fight alone.

Li Yongmao is really hard to answer Chen Bangyan's three questions, especially the third question, which is simply a point that he has ulterior motives.

However, after Chen Bangyan asked this, he still had to answer. If he didn't answer, he would not only lose face in front of the ministers, but his previous operations would also be in vain.

"Okay, since Lord Chen asked, Li will answer it." Li Yongmao knew that there were traps in these three questions, so he had to bite the bullet.

"The distinction between Chinese and foreigners is naturally distinguished by race and blood."

"Then, how should we explain it if there is a king in the barbarians than the fall of Xia? Then, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu called itself a barbarian, and then civilization advanced day by day. The princes of the Central Plains joined him, so they no longer regarded it as barbarians. How should we explain it?"

Chen Bangyan's question was a question, but Li Yongmao stammered and could no longer answer.

Regarding the distinction between Chinese and foreigners, Zhu Youlang read a lot of information about this in his previous life. At first, the standard for distinguishing Chinese and foreigners was indeed blood ties, but later gradually evolved into moral etiquette. If we look at blood ties, the Chu State (the area south of the Yangtze River) at that time should have been called barbarians, let alone Guangdong and Guangxi? It was because the civilization of Chu State was advancing day by day, and the countries in the Central Plains no longer regarded them as barbarians.

In addition, "The barbarians have a king, which is not as good as the fall of Xia", which means that the barbarians have no education, and there is a king in places where there is no etiquette, and there is a king in places where there is no monarch, which is not as good as the local civilization in places where there is no monarch in Xia. It clearly puts forward that the distinction between Chinese and foreigners lies in civilization and etiquette.

As for the second question, Chen Bangyan asked Li Yongmao on the surface, but in fact, he pointed out the fact that Tian Yingyuan refuted the imperial edict. If this matter is not refuted, the censor will not accept it.

As a minister of the rituals, Tian Yingyuan was indeed his duty to refute the imperial edict, but you must have a basis or sufficient reason to refute the imperial edict. Since you think Dai Yilan is a "hu woman" and "barbarian", you are doubting and dissatisfied with what the emperor said before. Since he had doubts and dissatisfaction, why didn't he say it at that time? Why did you attack the emperor when he wanted to enthrone the emperor? What was the purpose? Aren't you going to embarrass the emperor?

This is the reason why Zhu Youlang said that he "despises me and has ulterior motives."

Chen Bangyan's third question pointed directly at Li Yongmao's heart. You have many opportunities to talk with the emperor day and night, but you don't say it. You insist on inspiring all ministers to attack together. The purpose must be impure. Isn't this obvious lice on the bald head?

Li Yongmao was stopped by Chen Bangyan and was confused. He lay on the ground and couldn't speak. Sweat beads fell to the ground.

He was scared and regretted it.

When he was silent, Tian Yingyuan and Fu Zuolin, as well as the "famous officials" who were still justified at the beginning, naturally became silent.

It’s so satisfying! It’s so satisfying!

Zhu Youlang looked at Chen Bangyan, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Before I could do it myself, Old Chen took care of you alone.

Come on, it's time to end.

He was about to issue an order, but he saw Ma Jixiang hurried into the hall: "Your Majesty, Miss Dai led the forty-year-old young men out of the city and back to her hometown this morning!"
