The time for the court meeting has arrived.

The courtiers went to court with mixed emotions.

Many of them have already written manuscripts overnight and want to give Huai Guzi a severe beating.

To eavesdrop on the courtiers, Huaiguzi shouldn't be so bold. The emperor should be doing it.

However, the courtiers did not have the guts to question Ying Zheng, so they had no choice but to perform surgery on Huaicai.

Everyone wants to rebuke Huaiguzi for inventing such a despicable phone call so that the courtiers can no longer trust each other.

Even if the emperor doesn't like to be influenced by the opinions of his courtiers, your Majesty should think about it this time when the situation is so fierce, right?

Moreover, what Huaiguzi did this time was so unreasonable that it made people and gods angry.

Standing outside the Council Hall, the courtiers did not communicate with each other. Now everyone looked at each other and felt embarrassed, as if they were not wearing any clothes.

At this moment, two people walked over from a distance.

One of them is Li Xin, and the one next to Li Xin is Li Shui.

Neither of these men are in wheelchairs.

What's even more strange is that Li Shui is also carrying a bundle of wattle sticks.

What is this guy doing carrying a thorn stick on his back? Could it be that he is asking for forgiveness?

Many courtiers thought this way.

They thought so in their hearts, but did not say it out loud.

They now hate Huaiguzi and no longer want to talk.

At this time, Chunyu Yue spoke, and he asked the question that everyone wanted to ask: "Huai Guzi, what do you mean?"

Li Shui seemed to be waiting for this question.

He immediately bowed his hands to everyone, his movements skillful as if he had rehearsed them many times.

Li Shui said with emotion: "I shouldn't have let people from Shangjun Courtyard invent the telephone."

"Telephones are really poisonous and cause endless harm. And I never thought that telephones can be eavesdropped. It's really unreasonable."

The courtiers did not say anything. Many of them were thinking: You invented the telephone. Do you not know whether this thing can be bugged?

At this time, Chun Yuyue asked another question that everyone was concerned about: Exiled Immortal, you invented the telephone. Do you really not know that this thing can be bugged?

Li Shui said: "When our ancestors invented the knife, it was for chopping wood and hunting. No one thought that one day we would pick up the knife to kill our compatriots."

"The sword is not guilty; the one who holds the sword is guilty."

As soon as he said this, the courtiers around him nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, it makes sense, it actually feels enlightening."

However, after they made sense for a few words, they quickly came to their senses.

These people said to Li Shui: "What does it mean to banish an immortal? Are you blaming us for not calling?"

Li Shui sighed: "Of course you can make calls, but what should you say when you call? Don't you have any sense of propriety?"

"A gentleman pays attention to being cautious and independent. When you are alone, you must maintain a noble character. Has a small phone call now exposed your true nature?"

"I happen to be planning to open a men's class in Shangjun Courtyard? Then you all should go and have a look."

"Forget it? Just incorporate the courses into the night school. Then everyone will learn the principles of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, uprightness and noble character."

Everyone almost vomited: I want to learn morality and character from you? You are not kidding, are you? Stop being disgusting, okay?

Li Shui didn't realize that he was still carrying the vitex stick on his back, but he talked about it and almost turned into a moral education teacher.

At this time? The young eunuch came out and shouted in a high voice: "Hundred officials have entered the palace."

So the officials filed in and entered the political hall.

When the officials calmed down, Ying Zheng arrived slowly.

As soon as Ying Zheng arrived at the Council Hall, Li Shui suddenly made a plop and knelt on the ground with a thorn stick on his back.

Baiguan: "..."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Li Shui grabbed the ground with his head and cried heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty? I am guilty, I am guilty."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Although we had discussed it before and wanted to apologize, there was no need to be so exaggerated, right? Ying Zheng was a little speechless.

"What's your crime?" Ying Zheng said calmly.

Li Shui followed the agreed lines and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I only wanted to invent the telephone to facilitate everyone, but I didn't find that this thing can be eavesdropped."

"As a result, when Your Majesty was using the phone, I don't know if anyone was listening. Every time I think about this, my heart is as sharp as a knife."

When the courtiers heard this, they were stunned: "Even His Majesty was almost heard? Is it true or false?"

Just when the courtiers were confused, Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and said calmly: "Huai Guzi, I have always strongly supported your inventions in the past, but this time, you have disappointed me so much."

Li Shui apologized repeatedly.

Ying Zheng sighed and said: "I have decided to fine you half a year's salary. After the dynasty is over, you will be shut up in Shang Jun's courtyard to reflect on your mistakes. You will not be allowed to come out for ten days."

Li Shui responded respectfully: "Your Majesty... I obey."

When the courtiers saw this, they suddenly realized: "It turns out that His Majesty has also been deceived."

If Your Majesty had not been deceived, he would not have punished Huaiguzi.

The punishment given to Huai Guzi seemed to be very light. He was fined a salary for half a year and had to sit behind closed doors to think about his mistakes.

But...for banishing an immortal, what kind of punishment is considered severe?

Dismissal from office? Banished Immortal is originally a little alchemist, and judging from his daily remarks, does he look like an official at all?

People don't seem to have any feelings about being dismissed from office.

Is there a fine? Shang Jun, who was banished to immortality, is as rich as the country. He is not afraid of fines at all.

Humiliated in public? A shameless person like the Immortal is still afraid of being humiliated?

Therefore, conventional methods have no effect on banishing immortals, and this guy is hopeless.

The most important thing now is that the emperor has expressed his stance.

The emperor expressed his disappointment with the banishment of the immortal and wanted to punish the banishment of the immortal. This attitude was enough.

Many of the courtiers were very excited and planned to add insult to injury and take the opportunity to severely criticize and banish the immortal.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

If the criticism fails and Huaiguzi hates you, then the gains outweigh the losses. Your Majesty has such an attitude today, which is already very rare, so just accept it as soon as it is good.

When the courtiers were thinking this, Chunyu Yue stood up.

He said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I think Huaiguzi's behavior is ridiculous and should be severely punished..."

Chunyu Yue spoke out what the courtiers were thinking.

The courtiers felt very satisfied.

Ying Zheng followed the good deeds and planned to punish him severely.

Therefore, Li Shui's original punishment of half a year became a punishment of one year. Ten days of shut-up and reflection became a month.

Although this punishment is still not severe, the courtiers feel much better.

After all, it is the punishment that the courtiers fought for.

At this time, Li Shui suddenly said quietly: "Brother Huai is indeed guilty. But... this phone is really a good thing. You can deliver news without leaving home."

"It's a pity that phone calls are easy to be eavesdropped. It would be nice if they were not eavesdropped."

As soon as this was said, the courtiers nodded their heads.

Some courtiers have become accustomed to the convenience of telephones, and they are really not used to it if they are asked not to use telephones at this time.

There are also some courtiers, who are usually stingy. A few days ago, they were given a big discount on the phone, and they paid half a year's phone bills at once.

Now that the phone can’t be used, isn’t that a huge loss? Isn’t that a huge loss?

Therefore, everyone was looking forward to Li Xin's proposal.

It would be really great if this phone call wasn't tapped.

At this time, Zhou Qingchen said: "In fact, in the past, we used to send messages by writing letters or sending servants. Both of these methods take a long time and are more likely to leak secrets."

"What if we meet a talkative servant? What if someone secretly sees the content of the letter? In comparison, the phone is considered safe."

The courtiers thought for a moment and found that this was really the case.

Rationally speaking, the phone is indeed the safest thing.

But emotionally...it's really unacceptable.

Zhou Qingchen further analyzed: "Now you and your Majesty, you and your Majesty, think that telephone calls are extremely sinful. They are just things like telephones that can transmit too much information. And if the other party eavesdrops, the secrets they know are very intuitive and they are spoken out personally, so it is particularly special.
