"But in fact, there are no gods and ghosts in this world!"
"What we can do, what we have to do is to improve our knowledge and understanding of nature, and then find ways to rely on our own strength to fight against the climate change of nature!"
"We must hold our own lives in our own hands, instead of handing them over to those imaginary gods!"
"As for things like gods, it's a good thing to regard them as beliefs, but blindly trusting them is turning right and wrong into black and white!"
Li Chengfeng finished speaking.
Liu Shangshu and Wang Geshi came out to work again.
Liu Shangshu smiled disdainfully and said, "Hey, eighth prince! Are you looking for an excuse for the mistakes you made?"
"Am I making excuses for myself?"
I'm looking for your mother!
Li Chengfeng really wanted to curse.
These two ministers, which muscle is wrong? Always beating yourself up?
Do you feel like you are being bullied?
Therefore, Li Chengfeng shouted: "Liu Shangshu, Wang Geshi, you two come out!"
"Huh? What advice does the Eighth Prince have for you?"
Liu Shangshu walked out without fear.
Because he has never done anything wrong to Datang, and he has no excuses in other people's hands, so Liu Shangshu has a clear conscience and is not afraid of Li Chengfeng's accusations.
Moreover, after all, Shi Li Chengfeng made mistakes first, even if the emperor got angry, he would not punish himself!
Li Chengfeng said: "Liu Shangshu, Wang Geshi! Since you insist on thinking it's my fault? That's good! I'll make a bet with you now, how about it?"
"What kind of bet? What are you betting on?" Liu Shangshu said.
Li Chengfeng said: "Let's gamble like this! If it rains and floods occur today, I, Li Chengfeng, will bear all the losses! However, I will use my own method to minimize the losses of the common people! Because it is inevitable thing!"
"Secondly, you two, find the Dragon King for me and let him confront me face to face! If you can really find the Dragon King, I'll be considered a loser, and I'll take the position of the Eighth Prince!"
"Of course, if you don't find the Dragon King, I'm sorry, but you also take off the black hat on your head!"
"Huh? This..."
"This"
"This gamble is possible, but the gamble is too big, isn't it?"
"Gambling for official position? Gambling for the position of prince?"
Probably only Li Chengfeng dared to do this.
Because Li Chengfeng believes that there is no Dragon King in this world!
All the ministers were very surprised.
Li Shimin was also sitting on the dragon chair with serious eyes, without saying a word.
He also wanted to see what tricks Li Chengfeng and those two ministers were playing.
Moreover, Li Shimin could also see that Liu Shangshu and Wang Geshi seemed to want to convict Li Chengfeng for the mistakes he committed.
They clung to Li Chengfeng's mistakes, but they never thought about how much benefit Li Chengfeng brought to Datang last year?
The so-called, helping relatives but not helping others.
What's more, Li Chengfeng didn't necessarily do anything wrong!
So Li Shimin must be on his son's side.
What if Liu Shangshu and Wang Geshi want to play tricks? Li Shimin immediately took off their black hats!
"Eighth Prince, if you fail to solve the flood problem, what should you do?"
Liu Shangshu asked.
Li Chengfeng said: "If I can't solve it, I won't be the eighth prince! But if I end up, you two don't wear black hats, do you dare to bet with me?"
"Ah? Eighth prince, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Ding, the surprise from Fang Xuanling, naughty value +600!"
Not only Fang Xuanling, but also many ministers were shocked.
Bet on your black hat? Who dares?
And still bet with the Eighth Prince?
Li Shimin stroked his beard, wondering what kind of trick Li Chengfeng was playing again?
Liu Shangshu smiled lightly and said, "Eighth Prince, this bet is a bit high!"
"Hmph, since you keep saying that the fault is on me! Then I will prove to you that I can control floods and floods! And you have to prove that there is a dragon king in this world! If we fail to do it, we will kill ourselves. If you lose your official position, you dare to bet against me?"
"Okay, since the eighth prince dares, why wouldn't the old minister dare?"
Liu Shangshu agreed.
However, at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Forget it, forget it! Liu Shangshu, Wang Geshi, you two, do you really exist as officials? How do you have the guts to bet with the Eighth Prince on his position as the prince? Um?"
Li Shimin slapped the table angrily, this time, he was really angry.
How dare the two ministers dare to commit crimes above the court?
Li Chengfeng is ignorant, are you also ignorant?
I simply don't pay attention to me, Li Shimin.
Li Shimin roared again, and shouted: "Come on, take off the official hats of Liu Shangshu and Wang Geshi! Starting today, I will demote them both to Pingming, and they will not be officials from now on, and they will not be allowed to step into the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, two guards stepped forward and captured Liu Shangshu and Wang Geshi.
As for the ministers present, none of them spoke for the two of them.
I only heard Wang Geshi shouting, saying: "Emperor, we didn't do anything wrong, why are you punishing us?"
Li Shimin smiled disdainfully and said: "Hmph, what did you do wrong? Why do you bet against my eighth prince? Bet on his throne? You have something wrong in your heart! The contribution of my eighth prince to the Tang Dynasty is something we all respect." You can see it in your eyes! Developing hybrid rice, protecting Youzhou City, curing plagues, etc... Let me ask, who of you can compare with these achievements?"
"What are you comparing with the Eighth Prince? Just relying on the black hats of the two of you, it's like betting against the Eighth Prince's position as a prince? Tell me, who instructed you to do this behind the scenes?"
"Huh? We, this...we..."
Li Shimin's words were astonishing, and all the ministers were shocked.
Could it be that someone is really behind the scenes, manipulating these two ministers, trying to get the eighth prince down?
I have to say ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Li Shimin's eyes are still very sharp.
He could see that normally no one would dare to speak to Li Chengfeng like this, but recently, Liu Shangshu and Wang Geshi were aggressive towards Li Chengfeng, and they kept telling Li Chengfeng about the bad things he did before, fanning the flames among the palace ministers, It seemed that Li Chengfeng wanted to give them a bad impression.
Li Shimin soon realized that someone must have instructed them to do this behind the scenes!
Afterwards, the two ministers knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that no one instructed them behind the scenes, they were obsessed with ghosts, and their hearts were higher than the sky, so they did such a thing!
Li Shimin said, it doesn't matter if you don't confess, I naturally know who is manipulating you behind the scenes!
Later, Li Shimin abolished the black hats of the two, demoted the two to the poor, and distributed them to the frontier.
As for the man behind the scenes, Li Shimin suspects that Li Chengqian did it.
But this time, Li Shimin really wanted Li Chengqian!
