Datang Fenghua Road

Again, [-]% of the ministers spoke together, and even the emperor's footsteps were blocked.

Li Shimin was stunned in the air with his long sword in his hand, Wang Gui was waiting under his sword, but the emperor couldn't cut it down.

In this era, Li Shimin did not have the power to dominate the world. The foundation of the family lasted for thousands of years. Eighty percent of the officials in the whole world came from the family, and even the emperor could not eliminate it at once.

Chapter 374 Spread my will, urgently recruit Han Yue to return to Beijing

Fang Xuanling suddenly let out a long sigh, and the chief assistant of the Great Tang came out of the crowd, knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although the courtiers are suspected of forcing the palace, there is a reason for what happened today. I ask you to order the Queen and Concubine Yang to retreat. Next, there should be no more women in the hall..."

The old man is also helpless. He belongs to the emperor's faction. He must stand up and find steps for Li Shimin.

This step is not easy to find. Right now, the royal family and the aristocratic family are beginning to push back. He asked the queen and concubine Yang to leave, which is actually tantamount to making the royal family bow their heads and show weakness.

Clang clang!

With a crisp sword cry, Li Shimin angrily stabbed his long sword into the cracks in the bricks, and said loudly: "Since I allow the Queen and Concubine Yang to go to the palace, I must let them listen to the battle before leaving today. Not to mention that [-]% of the officials are against it, even the whole world is against it." No objection!"

Wang Gui looked up to the sky and smiled, suddenly bent down and put the official hat on the ground, bowed his hands and said: "Since Your Majesty is like this, the old minister has resigned himself. I am all for the stability of the Tang Dynasty. If Your Majesty does not listen to the loyal words, the minister will take the initiative to go to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison..."

He looked at the emperor proudly, and said with a tough face: "I am waiting for your majesty to issue a decree to convict me, and then kill the old minister on West Mayor Street. If my death can wake up the world and let everyone in the world come to the court, how great it will be for your majesty." Faint, then I can close my eyes even if I die!"

As expected of a family of tigers and wolves, what they did was obviously disgusting, but every sentence stood on a moral high ground. If the common people heard it, they would think it was a strong bone.

Wang Gui was so provocative, how could Li Shimin hold back, Fang Xuanling tried hard to persuade him to make peace.

The emperor shouted suddenly and said, "Where is Jinwuwei? Take Wang Gui to me and put him in the Dali Temple Heaven Prison, waiting for the slaughter..."

The two teams of Jin Wuwei entered the door loudly, but Wang Gui suddenly laughed and said loudly, "You don't need to be escorted by Your Majesty, the old minister will go by himself!"

He gave Li Shimin another salute, turned his head proudly and left.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and the officials of the noble family who were kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up at the same time and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will also go to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison and wait for the beheading!"

A group of people went out with their heads held high, and in a blink of an eye, the hall was more than half empty.

Li Shimin's face was gloomy and cold, he suddenly waved his hand heavily, and shouted at the Hongling rush: "You don't talk about the war now, I order you to gallop back to the grassland, Ma Ke can't rest, I want you to see you within ten days. King Zhao of the West Palace, let him take the army and pull out the camp immediately, and return to me within half a month."

Hong Ling hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said loudly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if the villain is so tired that he vomits blood, he will gallop with a flying horse, and he will definitely convey His Majesty's order."

He suddenly got up and ran frantically out of the hall.

At this time, there were only a few dozen ministers left in the courtroom. Fang Xuanling suddenly bowed his hands and said cautiously, "Your Majesty is urgently recruiting King Zhao of the West House to return to the capital. I don't know why?"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "My eldest son has nothing to do, since the aristocratic family has forced me with [-]% of the officials in the world, I guess they still have a backer. I worry that once the officials of the prefectures and prefectures resign, the whole world will fall into trouble. It's a mess, I need the help of the brat..."

The emperor paused slightly when he said this, and suddenly looked at the eldest grandson, and said with a gentle face: "Guanyin maidservant, don't be angry, I actually believed in our son from the very beginning, Hongling dared to bite off his fingers to swear, obviously what happened The reports are all true. This kid must have rushed straight to the enemy camp in the grassland, and he must have killed 3 people in one battle."

The eldest grandson knelt on the ground with a thud, and said with a sad tone: "Your Majesty, your concubine is guilty, and you were forced by the officials of the noble family..."

She and Li Shimin are a young husband and wife. They have supported each other all the way to this day.Seeing that her husband Junwei was damaged now, the eldest grandson felt a lot of remorse in his heart.

Next to Concubine Yang also knelt down quickly, wiped her eyes and wiped her tears: "Your Majesty, don't blame the elder sister, it's actually the concubine who deserves to die. Today's matter is mainly because the concubine wants to hear the majesty of King Zhao of the West Palace, so I instigated the elder sister to take me. Go to the palace!"

The two daughters-in-law knelt on the ground and cried, Li Shimin's face flashed a trace of pain, the emperor's eyes were fierce, and he suddenly scolded the remaining ministers: "Why do I want you? The family and Confucianism join hands to force me, Queen. Kneeling down and crying with Concubine Yang, you can only stand here helpless? What do I want from you, what do I want from you?"

At this time, the courtiers who remained in the hall were all direct descendants. Although they were reprimanded by the emperor loudly, no one refuted it. Instead, they all bowed their heads in shame.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the Lord humiliates the death of a minister, and they are the officials who are truly loyal to Li Shimin, just like Li Fenghua's loyalty to Han Yue. Now that Li Shimin is being persecuted by the family and the Confucianism, these ministers only feel humiliated.

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling suddenly stepped out of the crowd, bowed his hands and said: "The feng shui of today's matter has changed abruptly, and it is no longer possible to find a step for the other party to solve. It will definitely spread the word to the world, and let the situation spread to all states and governments..."

He paused slightly when he said this, first glanced at the emperor carefully, and then sighed: "It is the time of spring ploughing, once the situation spreads, the officials of various states and prefectures will inevitably resign, and the yamen in the whole world will stop working. At that time, who will organize the people's spring ploughing, and who will manage the trivial matters of the people? This time the family is going to unite to ask for greater benefits..."

Fang Xuanling is right. Although the world belongs to Li Shimin, the ministers help to govern. Most of the court officials in this era are from noble families and Confucian sects. If they really join forces to make trouble, the emperor is also a disciple. how.

It's not that they can't kill them, but that they kill no one to help govern the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, also encountered such a thing. At that time, the laws he made were too harsh, and almost everyone in the world was guilty. If they were all killed, the court would be abolished. In the end, even the murderer Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless and could only Let officials convict and continue to be officials.

Li Shimin's current situation is different from that of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang convicted the ministers, while Li Shimin convicted himself of the ministers himself.

Fang Xuanling sighed again, and then said: "The emperor is humiliated, and the ministers are equally grieved. For today's plan, the old minister has to bite the bullet. I want to recruit folk heroes to vote, and after a little training, I will dispatch all states and prefectures. In the face of danger, I was granted an official position, hoping to resist the wave of resignation from the family..."

He is the first assistant of the Tang Dynasty, and has the right to coordinate the six departments of the court and promote grass-roots officials, so he will directly say the words of recruiting folk heroes without the consent of the emperor.

This can be regarded as a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but it cannot quench the thirst of the near.

Li Shimin pondered: "Since ancient times, poor families have been difficult for noble children, and even a scholar has been scarce among the people. Even if Fang Qiao recruits heroes from all over the world, how many people can you recruit? Even if you recruit people, how many can serve as grass-roots officials?"

The emperor sighed, frowned, thought hard, and finally shook his head in vain.

Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while, and said helplessly: "The old minister's family also supports some students. Although they have not reached the crown for many years, they are barely available. It's a pity that there are too few..."

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, said: "There are also a group of students in the family, and they also contribute!"

"There are still ministers. I have three hundred adopted sons, two hundred who practice martial arts, and one hundred who practice literature. I asked those who practiced literature to go to various prefectures and counties to become officials!" The person who spoke was Zhang Liang, Although Li Chengqian's faction, but he is also loyal to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there are also students in the minister's family who can contribute to the imperial court..." Another minister jumped out.

All that was left in the court were cronies, and everyone was helping the emperor to find a way.

Li Shimin looked up and pondered: "I also have some aristocratic families available, Qinghe Cui, Zhaojun Li, Boling Cui, plus the students cultivated in the Aiqing family, I can barely gather one. [-] readers!"

The emperor sighed slightly when he said this, but did not continue.

The world is so big, there are twelve Dao in the whole Tang Dynasty, 360 states, thousands of counties, how many grassroots officials are needed to fill it?

The reason why the aristocratic family dares to compete with the royal family is precisely because they have been inherited for thousands of years, and [-]% of the grass-roots officials in the world are from them.

This is the result of Li Shimin's efforts to reduce power. You must know that in the former Sui Dynasty, 20% of the officials in the world came from aristocratic families. Li Shimin struggled for a full [-] years before reducing [-]% to [-]%.

Unexpectedly, [-]% of the officials started to pick their sons and force the palace today!

The eldest grandson suddenly opened his mouth and sighed: "Your Majesty, I don't know if Yue'er can do anything when he comes back. This matter is really difficult..."

Li Shimin was slightly startled, his eyes couldn't help blurring, the emperor pondered: "I suddenly remembered one thing, the stinky boy went out to establish a mutual market, and at the same time established a large research institute. He has been recruiting the world all these years. For students from poor families, many primary schools and middle schools are opened at the same time, so that the children of poor people can also study!"

"Your Majesty, the time is too short!" Fang Xuanling sighed softly and said with a wry smile, "If King Zhao of the Western Mansion was given 20 years, maybe he could really cultivate a hundred thousand talents, but the time is too short. The king of Zhao left the customs, but today is the fourth month of Zhenguan, four years in total, of which half a year is spent on the road..."

He said this with a wry smile again, looked at the emperor and said solemnly: "There are not many talents gathered in the child's hands, His Majesty can't expect too much, such a heavy burden will overwhelm his shoulders..."

"Yeah, the burden is too big, it will crush his shoulders!" Li Shimin also sighed, and said with some shame: "I, a father, want to pass it on to my son when encountering difficulties, alas!"

The emperor coughed lightly, his face a little embarrassed.

The eldest grandson complained: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't ask him to come back, it's better to let him go directly to the northeast. I heard that there is already a prosperous image there. Yue'er has worked hard for four or five years, and he should rest. !"

"I'm not in a hurry. When something major happens, I think of your good son first..." Li Shimin touched his nose, dodged his eyes and didn't dare to look at the queen.
