Chapter 114: Punishment(2/2)

Zheng Xuansheng was a disciple of the disciple and came from the Zheng family in Xingyang, but he was just a branch of the Zheng family and was recommended as an official a few years ago.

Li Shimin's eyes turned and looked at Zheng Xuansheng coldly: "I didn't ask you."

Zheng Xuansheng was speechless for a moment and wanted to say something, but he looked around and finally retreated.

Li Shimin continued: "I am asking you, Kong Qing's family, who said Deng Jian is not allowed to read?"

Kong Yingda stood there, knowing that he was a little speechless just now, but...

At this time, he still stubbornly believed that he was right, and even said in front of His Majesty that His Majesty should not be compared with the previous saints. This is not wrong. In private, many children of aristocratic families think so.

But now His Majesty has a calm face and questioning himself over and over again makes him unable to answer.

He is a noble man, so of course he cannot admit defeat. If he is afraid, wouldn’t he be sorry for his ancestors and would be a humiliating family?

Kong Yingda gritted his teeth and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I said it."

Li Shimin's face became colder: "In this way, you have the final say in the world?"

Kong Yingda said: "The affairs of the world have their own final say, and this is the way of heaven."

Li Shimin said: "Who formulated the way of heaven?"

"In the scriptures!" Kong Yingda made a loud voice: "In the Analects of Confucius, in the Zhou Li, in the Book of Changes, in Huainanzi, in..."

Li Shimin's face was thrust, and every book he slapped seemed to be slapping Li Shimin in the face.

In fact, Li Shimin was used to being slapped in the face. He often said something, and someone immediately advised him, and then... he had to give in!

In this way, Li Shimin gained a reputation for opening up the Internet, but the deeper reason is that sometimes he has to accept it even if he is not convinced.

Another example is that he once had a whim and thought that our Li family was awesome, so he ordered people to revise the clan story!

Originally, he wanted to pretend to be a fool. Our Li family is so awesome, so he should be ranked first among the clans in the world. As a result, he was repeatedly slapped and ranked first in the clan. The family of Cui Mingan, who is only a fourth-ranked Huangmen Assistant, ranked first. As a royal family, the Li family, did not even enter the top three.

What's even more slap in the face is that the person responsible for the cultivation of this clan is Li Shimin's confidant minister, and Empress Changsun's uncle. Gao Shilian, a foreign relative who tried his best to carry out the Xuanwu Gate Incident, was his own person!

But people like Gao Shilian actually think that the Li family seems to be of a worse grade than the aristocratic tribes such as Cui, Lu, and Zheng.

All these things hurt Li Shimin's self-esteem. At this moment... in front of this proud Kong Yingda, Li Shimin was completely angry.

He said lightly: "Then if I say that Deng Jian can study, if I say that people like Deng Jian in the world should study as long as they want to study?"

Reading is not your patent, who do you think you are?

Kong Yingda was calm at this moment: "If so, I think..."

"You are just a minister, you can only make suggestions, and you are not qualified to use why today and why tomorrow." Li Shimin looked at Kong Yingda bluntly: "Chen Zhengtai is my disciple. He can think that this is my kindness. He teaches people here. Have you forgotten that the Erpigou University Hall is the word "royal" written by me personally? Your ancestors have no distinction and can have three thousand disciples and spread knowledge. Then I and my disciple Chen Zhengtai can also teach three thousand disciples here. With this Royal University Hall, there are three thousand disciples."

Kong Yingda almost vomited blood.

Many people's faces also became ugly. Can the knowledge taught by Professor Kong Shengren be the same as the knowledge taught by Chen Zhengtai? Your Majesty... This is...

Li Shimin seemed extremely unpolite, and then stared at Kong Yingda fiercely with an extremely sharp look, saying word by word: "Don't forget that the posthumous title of the ancestor sage was given by me."

Kong Yingda's body trembled slightly, and he felt that he had suffered a great humiliation, because His Majesty's other meaning was that if His Majesty did not want to give it to him, then the saint would not be the saint.

But for Kong Yingda, it is completely different!

The reason why my ancestors were able to become the ancestors was because their ancestors created the sages. Emperors of all dynasties had to highly recommend them, so... the name of the ancestors was earned by the Kong family.

This is actually the biggest difference between Li Shimin and everyone. However, at this time, the angry Li Shimin did not want to argue with Kong Yingda. Although he was kind and showed respect for the wise and humble, all of this... is to consolidate the foundation of the imperial power and the Tang Dynasty, rather than letting people like Kong Yingda take this opportunity to raise their own value.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Everyone in the world can read. I encourage everyone who is determined to study. Chen Zhengtai teaches people about learning here. This is not his own idea. If anyone dares to talk nonsense here, then... I will never be polite, Chen Zhengtai..."

"I'm here." Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said.

Li Shimin said lightly: "Tomorrow, I will erect a monument outside this school and write to me what I just said. I want to see who dares to go against my wishes."

Chen Zhengtai said: "No."

Li Shimin then looked around, looked at the civil servants and generals who were following him, and the domineering aura of the emperor was unquestionable, and said, "Do you all understand what I mean? Who else has any objection?"

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Xuansheng, who wanted to say something before, had something to say, and he would not be happy if he didn't say anything.

Li Shimin looked at Zheng Xuansheng coldly: "Who has any objection, kill him!"

It seemed that this sentence finally had an effect, so the Minglun Hall was particularly quiet.

Except for a certain part of people, except for gritting their teeth at Chen Zhengtai, it seems... At this moment, no one dares to say another word!

Li Shimin stood up long and said, "You should say everything you should say, Kong Qing, please do it yourself."

Kong Yingda's face was pale. He wanted to raise his courage and argue something more, but today his majesty's murderous aura finally forced him to keep his mouth shut.

So he raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Zhengtai. But this time, in this look... it was no longer just despising.

But at this moment...

Li Shimin suddenly said again: "Yes, I still want to have one more thing. Today I have to explain it clearly."
