"Your Majesty, Fangchen, pays homage to your Majesty!"

"Get up."

Fang Chen raised his head and looked at the civil and military personnel on both sides. There were forty or fifty people there, quite a lot.

"We have met His Highness the Second Highness!"

This is Chai Shao, Changsun Wuji and others who have seen Fang Chen begin to greet him.

Of course, there are also those who have never seen Fang Chen. Most of them are watching indifferently. A young man who has no idea how to gain His Majesty's favor dares to be called the Second Highness.

"Yu'er, do you know why I asked Shubao to bring you here?"

"I don't know, please let me know, Your Majesty!"

Typical of pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, Li Shimin's brows twitched. He really wanted to slap this treacherous son. Why don't you make a joke about this?

"Nonsense!"

Unfortunately, someone spoke first for Li Shimin.

Fang Chen looked at the man very unfamiliar, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Who is this sir?"

"I am the Minister of Finance, Youpushe, and granted the title of Deyi!"

The old man's face was slightly sickly. It seemed that he had injured his body a few years ago and was afraid that he would not have much time left.

Fang Chen was delighted. Isn't this the man who held both sides of the fence? On the one hand, he showed that he was from the Prince of Qin's Palace, but on the other hand, he secretly supported Li Jiancheng. After his death, this incident was exposed, and even the posthumous title was taken back by Li Shimin.

.

"I dare to ask Mr. Feng, why is this kid so mischievous?"

Fang Chen didn't intend to be troublesome. After all, there were very few people he really cared about in this Tang Dynasty. Even if others died cleanly, as long as the people he cared about were okay.

"Boy, did you say that there will be a severe drought or even a locust plague today?"

Fang Chen nodded, "Did you say that there is an example among the Tang Dynasty's laws, and someone will be punished for this?"

Feng Deyi's eyes were full of contempt, "You dare to spread rumors and disturb people's hearts, how can you not just say nonsense?"

The expressions of Qin Qiong, Chai Shao and others had changed drastically. If Li Shimin hadn't spoken yet, they would have stepped forward to "reason" with Feng Deyi.

Fang Chen sneered, "If something that hasn't happened yet turns into a rumor because of one of my speculations, then I would like to ask this gentleman, if I say that your concubine is having an affair with someone else, how will you treat her?"

"You! How dare you insult the Duke of our country like this!" Feng Deyi was the Duke of Miguo who was granted the title by Li Yuan.

Fang Chen's eyes shot out a cold light, "Don't point your fingers at me, or I will chop off the limbs of your dead dog!"

The ministers were making a fuss, and Li Shimin was a little confused. Why was Fang Chen so different today from the past? Could it be that...

"If one could be convicted just because of one's words, then the Tang Dynasty would be really powerful."

Everyone could hear the cynicism in Fang Chen's words.

"How dare you, an ignorant child, to insult an important minister like this?" Wen Yanbo, whom Qin Qiong had told Fang Chen before, stood up. Fang Chen was completely loyal to Qin Qiong. As a former princeling, how could he give up the opportunity to attack?

On the contrary, the real "important ministers" kept silent, waiting for Fang Chen's next words.

"Otherwise, Master Feng, I, and... I'm sorry, who are you?"

"You!" Wen Yanbo did not expect that the other party would act so boldly.

He looked upward, and Li Shimin coughed lightly, "Yu'er, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Wen Yanbo is really unbelievable. Your Majesty! Your Majesty, didn't he see it? This kid just insulted a current Duke!

"Your Highness, this is Mr. Wen!" Qin Qiong said with a smile from behind.

Fang Chen narrowed his eyes, and Li Shimin leaned back slightly, feeling bad. Is this kid going to be hysterical now?

"Master Wen? Oh, is it the wild dog that you told me about, old man, that knows nothing but barks randomly?"

Qin Qiong shrank his neck, "Your Highness, your mouth... is too harsh!"

"You dare!" Wen Yanbo took two steps forward. Fang Chen was faster than him and ran directly in front of him.

"I'll kill you like a chicken, get out of my way!"

A kick hit Wen Yanbo's knee, causing the opponent to lose balance and fall, and then another kick flew out, causing Wen Yanbo to fall to the ground.

"this......"

"His Majesty......"

Some officials who were close to Wen Yanbo hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. It was a bit chaotic. What is the situation of this Second Highness? Is he arrogant because of his favor? He scolds and beats each one when he comes up. Is it true that he is easy to bully all officials?

But when he raised his head and took a closer look, another layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, Li Jing, and Li Ji were already standing behind him. On the civil servants' side, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other loyal ministers turned a blind eye to Wen Feng.

"Yu'er, do you need to rest?"

Li Shimin was really worried about what to do if Fang Chen became hysterical at this moment. He was also a little irritated as to why he wanted Qin Qiong to bring him here.

Fang Chen shook his head, bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, when I speak next, can you please stop some brainless people from interrupting?"

"I'm sure!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Chen stood up again, straightened his robes briefly, and his eyes were full of contempt, "Yes, I told Duke Huo that there might be a drought and locust epidemic this year, but I never thought about it, the first time you all learned about it.

In one moment, he asked me to come over!"

Li Shimin sat upright. He understood what Fang Chen meant. The Tang Dynasty had hundreds of civil and military officials, but in the end they had to rely on a child?

There were dissenters among the officials, but unfortunately they did not dare to speak because Fang Chen had just discussed the order and no one was allowed to interrupt.

"Why can't you be so angry? Do you think I spread rumors? Let me ask you, who did I tell? Mr. Huo Guo!"

"I'm here!" Chai Shao took two steps forward.

"When I talk to you, can I tell the third person?"

"Not yet!"

"When I told you, could I explain that this matter still needs His Majesty's judgment?"

"have!"

Fang Chen looked at Li Shimin again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when you encounter a problem, should you solve the problem, or should you arrest the person who raised the problem and beat him up?"

Li Shimin said without thinking, "Solve the problem."

Fang Chen's tone changed, "Why did the minister I saw slap the person who asked the question first?"

"Who dares!" Li Shimin also understood a little bit why Fang Chen was so angry. Fortunately, it was not hysteria.

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and walked out, "Your Highness, we invite you here because we want to ask if you are really sure that this will happen and that you have no other intentions."

Fang Chen sighed and said: "I also hope that what I said is a lie, but if this thing really happened, would you still have to find a solution after the fact? Can't you be forewarned to avoid similar things from happening again in the future?

"

Wei Zheng came out and said, "May I ask Your Highness, how can you foresee things in advance?"

Fang Chen looked at the civil servants, "Master Wei, how many officials are there in the court?"

Although Wei Zheng didn't understand what Fang Chen meant, he still answered truthfully: "There are 674 people who went to court, and countless officials from various states and governments."

"Then let me ask again, have any officials proposed to take precautions and manage in advance? If there is a locust plague and a severe drought, how will you deal with it?"

What to do? Pile all the sins on the highest one and let him be sacrificed to heaven.

Wei Zheng didn't answer, and Fang Chen didn't pursue him too much. This old man was pretty good, better than the two just now.

"Do you believe in evil gods? Do you sacrifice children? You have never thought about control and prevention. You will only tell the world afterwards!

God sends punishment? You don’t understand, but you don’t study it! You don’t know it, but you don’t allow others to do it! Pray to heaven? Are you officials? Or so-called Taoist disciples!”

The sentence was shocked, and at the end of the sentence, Fang Chen almost roared.

All the officials trembled all over and knelt down at the same time, shouting to Li Shimin, "I don't dare!"

Li Shimin actually felt a sense of heroism at this moment. Those officials who used to have their tails raised to the sky are now like this?

"May I ask Your Highness, how to prevent it? How to cure it?"

The bold man stood up and asked, he didn't believe that Fang Chen really had a way!

Fang Chen's laughter became even colder. "Haha, you are an official. You ask me how to prevent it? How to cure it? Do you still want me to do things for you?"

The man held it in and knelt down again.

"If you are an official who doesn't understand civil affairs, doesn't understand people's interests, and doesn't care about democracy, is he a fool?"

"I beg to differ!"

"If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell chaff!"

The merchants were lowly, and Fang Chen asked them to sell chaff that they didn't like at all, which was almost like trampling their faces on the ground.

"I don't want to accept it!"
