Feng Shen: I was overheard by the gods!

Chapter 423 Big deal, I will fight another battle to unify the world!

Everyone looked at Queen Changsun in unison, but no one expected that Queen Changsun would say such a thing!

"Your Majesty, dear friends, I like Da Shang the most, and I have studied the historical materials of Da Shang in detail... In my opinion, compared with Da Shang, Datang is actually very similar to it."

"Great Shang has eight hundred vassals, and Great Tang has many aristocratic families; Great Merchant is threatened by elucidation of teachings, and Great Tang is also targeted by Buddhism; Great Merchant has intercepted teachings to help, and Great Tang also has Heaven's attention..."

"Prestige, Da Shang and Da Tang both have great righteousness, they are the lords of a country... they have their own army, and they also have courtiers who are loyal to the royal family... In my view, the only difference is that Da Shang has direct management. Territory, but Datang does not. Outside of Chang'an, every city is controlled by local aristocratic families and village elders... Wang Ling does not go to the countryside, this is the biggest problem of Datang!"

"Since that's the case, why didn't the Great Tang go all out and leave the capital Chang'an alone? Drive all the family members out of Chang'an, leaving only the common people and the courtiers who are loyal to the court!"

"This……"

Li Jing, Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Hong Fu Nu, and even Cheng Yaojin had never expected that Queen Changsun would have such courage!

This is to give up the power in your hands and change from the lord of a country to the lord of a city!

"But," Li Shimin asked with some doubts: "Obviously, the whole world belongs to my Li Tang royal family, why choose to give up?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, let me say something unpleasant. In today's world, is it really your Majesty who decides?"

Queen Changsun sarcastically said... Li Shimin was silent.

In front of the gods, he really wanted to be tough... But the reality made him unable to be tough!Especially, compared with the great merchant who became the fourth emperor of the human race and successfully conquered the heavens!
Seeing that Li Shimin remained silent for a long time, it was embarrassing for her husband, the eldest grandson queen continued: "So, I'm not in control anyway, why not let it go completely!"

"In this way, if you only care about Chang'an, civil servants and generals who are truly loyal to the Tang Dynasty, it will be enough!"

Li Shimin looked at the person next to him who was extremely familiar with the pillow, and for the first time saw the high-spirited fighting spirit shining in her eyes!Even when the Xuanwumen Incident was the most dangerous, the passionate radiance that had never been seen before seemed extremely charming for a while! ~
At this time, Queen Changsun was completely caught in her own imagination of the future, and continued to say with high spirits: "At that time, we will guard the basics of Chang'an, learn from big businessmen to develop science and technology, refine the imperial examinations, vigorously develop education, and select talents... When the talents accumulate to a certain amount..."

Queen Changsun suddenly waved her hand and slapped the phoenix chair fiercely: "Fight another unification battle!"

Li Shimin was taken aback by the sudden excitement of the eldest grandson queen...just a moment later, he was a little moved?
"What do you think... two love ministers?"

Subconsciously, he looked at Wei Zheng and Li Jing, wanting to seek some advice and help.

"It makes sense."

Wei Zheng stroked his chin and said, "If everything is broken, nothing can be built...that is, if there is another war, the lives of the common people will be difficult..."

"No! Maybe this war can completely overwhelm people!"

At this time, Li Jing, the God of War, said: "After experiencing the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was no one out of every ten people... The common people should be extremely disgusted with war! This is not only known to us, but also to the great families!"

"Moreover, the Great Tang has already unified the world and has a reputation for righteousness... At that time, as long as the accumulation of talents is completed, and then escorted to the post with a large army, and the local powerful families are cleaned up, with a gun in hand, they can completely wipe out Xiaoxiao and succeed in one fell swoop!"

"As long as the soldiers are fast and powerful, it is impossible to say that this war will not be fought except for the fringe towns!"

Queen Changsun nodded and added: "Besides, the aristocratic family unites with the Buddhist sect with all their heart, and their interests are bound to sway their hearts! At that time, we will take the initiative to show weakness and make a gesture of last resort by giving them all the cities except Chang'an... This palace is well aware of the greed of these aristocratic families, they will lose their vigilance, and their heirs will even rob the land, fish and meat the people...then arouse public anger, even if we want to defend, we can easily break through the city and win the hearts of the people again!"

"Furthermore, Chang'an will be the only place where only talents will be promoted, and there will be countless great talents who truly care about the people of the people who will go to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination...All the talents in the world can enter our... Li Tang's hands!"

What Queen Changsun said made Li Shimin's heart surge!That's right, he's calling the world immediately!Big deal, just hit it again!
"The queen is right! If you can't break, you can't stand! If you want to establish a thousand-year dynasty, how can you be timid! I have never been afraid of war!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing this situation, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Cheng Yaojin couldn't help admiring... He is worthy of what His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor said is the eternal emperor, and his courage alone is by no means weaker than any human emperor!

At this point, in the palace of the king, the strategy was decided... Afterwards, the gods also returned home to appease the people in the family not to mention...

-

During the court meeting on the second day, the two sides had their own ghosts and met each other in the hall!

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

After the pilgrimage, Li Shimin glanced at it: "If there is something to do, let's go to the court if there is nothing to do!"

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!"

The Patriarch of the Lu family came out first, looked at the leading four gods, and said: "The news about the gods of Wei Gong, Li Gong, Hong Furen, and General Cheng has spread throughout Chang'an, and the hearts of the people are excited! Dali Chaotang!"

"I suggest that Duke Wei be appointed Prime Minister of the Left, in charge of political affairs; Duke Li, Minister of Right, in charge of military affairs; General Cheng and Mrs. Hong can both be in charge of a battalion of troops, so as to prove to the people that our Tang Dynasty is protected by heaven and can last for thousands of years!"

The Patriarch of the Lu family sincerely suggested...Of course, the reason for saying this is not because they really want to decentralize power.It's a plan to 'praise' after the heads of the family discussed it!
Simply put, the higher you hold, the harder you fall!
When they are entrusted to a high position, and the common people know their status as gods, they will definitely look forward to them eagerly... But when the gods come down to earth, they can't act rashly, and they do some small tricks in private... In less than a year, the entire royal family, even The gods will surely disappoint the people and lose their hearts!
And once they lose the hearts of the people, or even become jealous...then these aristocratic families will have more room to maneuver!

After all, Li Shimin has the aptitude of being an emperor through the ages, how could he not have heard the traps in the words of the patriarchs of these aristocratic families?What's more, their strategy is similar to the royal family's strategy!They are all using the hearts of the people to achieve their own goals!
After hesitating for a while, Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji: "What does Uncle Guo think of the words of the Patriarch of the Lu family?"

This question is an opportunity for him, Li Shimin, to the eldest grandson's family, the eldest grandson Wuji!It is also to give the queen a face!
Unfortunately, he didn't get the answer he wanted...

Seeing Changsun Wuji bowing out of the line, he replied loudly: "I think Lu Shilang's words are very good! Since the Tang Dynasty has been blessed by heaven, we should promote it to reassure the people!"

"Prime Minister Changsun really thinks this is acceptable?"

This time, it was the queen who spoke!A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Changsun Wuji turned his head subconsciously, not daring to look at each other... But in the end, he raised his head and faced the queen!

"Report to the empress, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart!"

Queen Changsun closed her eyes, she already understood that her brother had already made his own choice!He chose, the eldest grandson's family!Give up yourself, and give up the royal family!
Li Shimin secretly reached out and patted the Queen's little hand... Taking a deep breath, he said, "My loves, do you have any objections?"

There was silence in the main hall at the scene... The head of the aristocratic family had already discussed the digging of the pit, so naturally he would not object; and the courtiers who took refuge in Li Shimin, even if they felt that something was wrong, the person who was promoted was a god, and he would not choose to offend.

For a while, no one objected!All acquiesced to the fact that the four people were promoted!
"Since none of the ministers objected, from today onwards, Wei Zheng will be promoted to the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, and in charge of political affairs; Li Jing will be promoted to the right minister, in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and military affairs!"

"Also: Hong Fu girl was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War! Cheng Yaojin is the Minister of the Ministry of War, in charge of the Jinwu Guard!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

The four of Li Jing came out and took orders one after another!
Seeing this situation, all the heads of the family, including Changsun Wuji, had playful smiles on their faces... Heh, this official position is not so easy to sit in!Even if you are gods!
However, they thought that today's court meeting would end here... Unexpectedly, just after Li Shimin bestowed an official, Wei Zheng took out a document from nowhere and came out to play!

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!"

"Come on!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and replied... Heh, if you make a move, I will accept it!Now, it's my turn to make a move!
"Since the minister is in charge of government affairs, he should be responsible!"

"Over the past few years, I have collected the information of hundreds of officials. This is the result of the three-year evaluation and the recommendation for transfer!"

With that said, Wei Zheng handed the document that he had copied long ago to the eunuch, and he distributed it to the ministers...

All the ministers, especially the patriarchs of many aristocratic families took the information and opened it, and suddenly something bad happened in their hearts!
The first page is the evaluation of Uncle Guo and the current Prime Minister Sun Wuji!

"Changsun Wuji...Position: Prime Minister, the head of civil servants... He has been in charge of political affairs for many years, and his achievements are excellent (the evaluation criteria are evaluated from multiple dimensions such as the quality of life of the people and the dedication of recommended officials! The second page is the evaluation result)!
Education of children and grandchildren in the family: bad! (The third page of the evaluation result)..."

"Suggestion: poor education, it is not suitable to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites... I have a weak understanding of the livelihood of the people, and I am easily confused by family members and servants... It is recommended to be transferred to Longxi and take the post of chief minister! After passing the examination, I will be transferred back to the central government!"

All the patriarchs looked at Changsun Wuji together, only to see Changsun Wuji's face was flushed, and he quickly turned to the second and third pages... Then, his face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground!
"I...fail to restrain the dog, and I owe Your Majesty's grace!"

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and clapped his hands on the Chinese book materials: "Uncle Guo is really a good boy! I have only been on the throne for three years, and the public only knows the son of my uncle, but I don't know the name of the prince! Tsk tsk, Uncle Guo, how about I Let me sit in this position?!"

"My lord is guilty!"

Changsun Wuji kowtowed again and again... He had already guessed that Li Tang's royal family would make a move, but he never expected that the first fire would burn himself and his own children?

The heart is even more secretly resentful: the courtiers blame each other, how can the family be implicated?Wei Zheng, you have passed!

"Bullying boys and girls, doing all kinds of evil! I don't think you need to stay in the court anymore, just resign and go home to raise your children..."

Li Shimin was furious, and when he was about to announce the punishment... Wei Zheng spoke and stopped Li Shimin!

"Your Majesty!"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng with some puzzlement... No, we are in the same group!

"Your Majesty," Wei Zheng straightened his back and said righteously, "The fault of Prime Minister Changsun is that he did not teach his children well... and the children did not commit any serious mistakes, but bullied men and women and robbed people's land! According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, His son, Sun Chong, should pay compensation and pay a fine, and he will be imprisoned for three years! He will not be allowed to enter the court again in the future!"

"His father had a fault, he was demoted to the common people, and it is enough to understand the sufferings of the common people! The eldest grandson Chong's fault, the crime will not be implicated!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials at the scene looked at Wei Zheng in disbelief... including Changsun Wuji who was kneeling on the ground!

This is an opportunity to deal a big blow to your political opponents... That's it, let it go?

Secretly, the patriarchs of many aristocratic families were shocked on the surface, but happy in their hearts... Sure enough, what the Buddha said was right, these gods were just blinded by dogma!That future...hehe!A gentleman can be bullied!

"Wei Gong, do you know what you are talking about?"

Li Shimin also wanted to take the opportunity to drive Changsun Wuji out of the court...but Wei Zheng shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, follow the law, this is the right way in the world!"

"you……"

When Li Shimin wanted to say something, Queen Changsun already understood the meaning of Wei Zheng's words... Letting Changsun Wuji go seems to leave a serious problem, but it also leaves a stereotyped impression on all enemies!

No, it will leave an impression on the people of the world!Even if the law can be followed against political opponents, won't the laws announced in the future be strictly enforced?Just like during the Great Qin Dynasty, Shang Yang's belief is as good as standing tall!
A gentleman can be bullied... But a gentleman can also convince the world!
He patted Li Shimin's hand. Although Li Shimin was puzzled, he believed in his queen for the time being...

"Then follow what Prime Minister Zuo said! Changsun Wuji was demoted and transferred to be the chief envoy of Longxi! His son, Changsun Chong, was fined 12 gold to compensate the common people. He will be imprisoned for three years and will not be allowed to enter the court for life!"

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for the grace!"

Changsun Wuji bowed deeply... Then he got up and gave Wei Zheng a complicated look... He really didn't know whether he should hate or thank him!

Wei Zheng also ignored his gaze, and continued to hold the information and say...

"The Lu family, Lu Yigong, took bribes during his tenure as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, oppressing craftsmen..."

"Cui Changhe, Minister of Rites, manipulated the imperial examination during his tenure..."

"Wang Jingzhi, Minister of the Household Department, during his tenure as Minister of the Household Department, colluded with Wang's merchants to sell grain..."

Accompanied by Wei Zheng's narration, the officials serving in the court hall of various families at the scene showed despair and collapsed to the ground... They are no better than Changsun Wuji, who has his own sister as the queen, and knows how to restrain himself...

The mistakes they made were all crimes of beheading and ransacking their homes...
