Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 114
Li Yuan's life is happy, but also painful and tormented.

If Li Yuan's two sons can live in harmony and do not fight for the reserve, then Li Yuan will undoubtedly be the biggest winner in life in history.

Li Yuan was the last to raise his army among the many rebel kings in the late Sui Dynasty, and his military strength was also at the bottom, but Li Yuan succeeded and established the Tang Dynasty.

Among Li Yuan's many sons and daughters, the eldest son Li Jiancheng was good at writing, and he was quite skilled in handling government affairs, and he was deeply trusted by many ministers.

The second son, Li Shimin, was good at martial arts. Since Li Yuan raised his army, he has fought in both the south and the north, and made outstanding military exploits. In the end, even Li Yuan didn't know how to reward him.But in handling government affairs, Li Shimin is obviously not as good as Li Jiancheng, which is Li Shimin's biggest drawback.

The fourth son Li Yuanji, compared with the first two, Li Yuanji's ability to deal with government affairs is not as good as Li Jiancheng's, and his military exploits are not as good as Li Shimin's. In addition, he is young, so when Li Yuanji established the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji did not contribute much, but After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanji followed his two elder brothers in the battle against the anti-kings in the late Sui Dynasty, and made great achievements.

But Li Yuanji was spoiled. Anyway, Qin Chao always felt that Li Yuanji was ruined by Li Jiancheng.

Many historical books have recorded that Li Yuanji has a fierce personality. After committing a crime, the prince Li Jiancheng would always help him wipe his ass. Every time he committed a crime, the elder brother would help him deal with it. Over time, Li Yuanji's character and habits were developed.

On the surface, it seems that this is Li Jiancheng's doting on Li Yuanji, but in fact he doesn't take it seriously.

Unofficial history once recorded that Li Yuanji's writing was not as good as Li Jiancheng's, and his martial arts surpassed Li Shimin's.

It is not difficult to see from this record that Li Yuanji is actually a prince who is capable of writing and martial arts, but his personality is his biggest shortcoming.

Qin Chao always felt that Li Jiancheng was deliberately spoiling Li Yuanji, so that such a potential stock that might compete for the throne was indirectly abolished by him, and his opponent was only Li Shimin.

However, Li Shimin reversed his accession to the throne. This is a historical trend. Qin Chao came a bit late, and he couldn't catch up with this opportunity, and he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the royal family.

Before he ascended the throne, Li Shimin always felt that he should be a prince and emperor, and only he had the ability and qualification.

But after becoming emperor for more than two months, Li Shimin completely denied his previous judgment, and Li Shimin's shortcomings in handling government affairs were also completely revealed.

But what made the ministers more gratified was that Li Shimin also clearly realized his own shortcomings more than a month after he took the throne, so he began to be more willing to accept advice from his ministers.

"In my opinion, Your Majesty should issue an imperial edict to inform the world, so as to reassure the world." Wei Zheng stood up and said bluntly.

"Hmph, what is Wei Zuocheng's intention? What is your Majesty's fault? Just because the Turks went south, your Majesty should issue an imperial edict to sin against him? This is the most ridiculous thing in the world." Changsun Wuji retorted angrily.

Countless old counselors of the Tiance Mansion have advised Li Shimin to kill Wei Zheng. This guy is simply too bad. He has persuaded Li Jiancheng to kill Li Shimin several times. Fortunately, Li Jiancheng did not follow his advice, otherwise the consequences would be really dire.

But Li Shimin did not accept the remonstrance from the veteran of the Tiance Mansion because Li Shimin summoned Wei Zheng after killing Li Jiancheng and asked him why he wanted to sow discord between their brothers?

In the end, Wei Zheng only replied one sentence, if the prince accepted his suggestion, there would be no disaster today.

Li Shimin agreed deeply when he heard the words, and immediately acquitted Wei Zheng of the crime, and appointed him as Zhan Shizhu Bo, and after the alliance of Weishui, he was appointed as Zhengsi Shangshu Zuocheng.

Li Shimin admires Wei Zheng very much. He thinks that Wei Zheng is a talent. It was not easy to pull Wei Zheng into his camp before, but now there is no problem, and Li Shimin is not a fool. What advice is good and what advice is bad Yes, it's not like he couldn't hear it.

As for talents, Li Shimin's mind is still very broad.

However, no matter how broad-minded, it doesn't mean that you don't have your own temper.Although Wei Zheng was talking about the facts, what was behind this suggestion?Who in the whole court doesn't know?

Yang Guang didn't even issue an edict of guilt even in that way, why did he, Li Shimin, issue this edict of guilt?And once this guilty edict is issued, it will almost be announced to the world that the Xuanwumen change was initiated by him.However, the reality is that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have already moved to kill, and Li Shimin can only launch a coup first in order to survive.

Li Shimin was very angry, he wished he could kill Wei Zheng, and at this time, he still wanted to complain for Li Jiancheng.

But after thinking about it carefully, his throne was originally wrong. If he killed Wei Zheng, wouldn't he be convicted of this crime from another angle?

Wei Zheng sighed secretly in his heart. Although he meant to call out Li Jiancheng's injustice at this moment, this was actually just incidental. Li Jiancheng is dead, and Wei Zheng is not the kind of person who can't see the situation clearly, but it's up to him to say that. Coming out, in other people's eyes, meant that, but he still had to say these words.

"Your Majesty, the best way to deal with a topic is to create another bigger topic to divert people's attention and make them forget about the previous incident." Wei Zheng shook his head and said.

"Then there is no need to issue an imperial edict to change the topic. If there is no misplaced monarch and ministers, if there is no disaster caused by natural disasters, and when there is no political crisis, this is not appropriate." Fang Xuanling followed up.

The edict of sinners is not something that can be issued casually. Generally speaking, the time when emperors issue edicts of sinners most frequently, but can bring prestige to themselves, is during natural disasters. The first one is the second, and the third one is only It can be regarded as a remedy after a dead sheep, except for these three situations, he will never send his own edict.

And Li Shimin's current situation is simply not enough to issue an imperial edict.

Civil servants were arguing, but military officials seized the opportunity. Governing the government was not the military officials' business, so at this time, military officials usually closed their eyes and rested their minds, or listened to the excitement.

But today's situation is different, all the military officials are full of worries, and they can't calm down to close their eyes and rest their minds.

When he heard the civil servants say that they wanted to change the topic, which was a bigger topic than the Turks going south, Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw something, he hurriedly stood up, and said before all the military officials: "Your Majesty, I have something to do." To beat."

"What does Yizhen want to beat up?" Li Shimin felt a little happy in his heart. Although Cheng Yaojin couldn't say anything more constructive, he still helped him at this time.

"When I returned home a few days ago, the housekeeper told me that all the money in the house had been taken out by my son. I was furious when I heard this, and chased him to my own village. I found that my son was digging a well. A well only needs seven people, and it costs five guan. During the day, a well can be drilled, and the minister saw it with his own eyes, and he was amazed again and again, and he talked with Qin Chao..." Cheng Yaojin told the story in a continuous manner, except for what was said before, the rest were all made up. But it is true.

Cheng Yaojin's words made the eyes of the whole court brighten up. It's so easy to dig a well?If the court released this news, wouldn't it be a good way to change the topic?
"Your Majesty, I have objections. The old man Cheng is just talking nonsense. Qin Chao was clearly at the minister's house that day. I only told them these words after talking with Qin Chao. The proposal to recruit wounded and retired soldiers as workers is also the same. It was proposed by Qin Chao..." Seeing Cheng Yaojin unceremoniously claiming credit for himself, Niu Jinda stood up and retorted in a very unsteady manner.
