Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

This tail has long been raised to the sky.

But he is still the same as before, as if he doesn't care about anything, and he is neither cold nor indifferent towards North Korea, Chinese and Wu.

It was really hard for them to imagine what Li Chengqian was thinking.

However, if they knew Li Chengqian's true thoughts, they would be ashamed.

Because he really didn't have any ideas, and he didn't bother to speculate on other people's thoughts.

"Uncle, why do you look so ugly." Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji beside him, and said softly.

His words startled Changsun Wuji who was in deep thought.

"Huh? Ah?" Changsun Wuji looked at him in a panic, "Alas... Zhang Liang was not the one who messed around. Henan said such a big thing, and I, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, cannot absolve myself of the blame."

"Uncle, don't blame yourself." Li Chengqian comforted: "You have only been the official secretary for a few days, and many things cannot be changed overnight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch Chen Lin shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty, come here."

I saw Li Shimin enter the door.

All civil and military officials shut their mouths and remained silent.

However, they saw that Li Shimin's mood was not bad.

At least not sullen.

Don't look at these people in the court, the emperor, the prince, civil servants, and generals.

But the relationship between them is not that simple.

What has the emperor feared most since ancient times?

A man of great merit.

Since ancient times, how many people with lofty ideals, how many talented civil servants and generals, princes and princes, died of the emperor's suspicion and fear.

When a person reaches a certain position, feelings will fade away.

Only the power in their hands and the admiration of the world can make them feel at ease.

Li Shimin had this idea before.

After all, Li Chengqian's contribution is really too great, so great that it has surpassed the original King Qin.

Get rid of traitors and sycophants inside, clean up old enemies outside, develop the economy, and promote people's livelihood.

In the past two years, Li Chengqian can be seen in every major event that happened in Datang.

Therefore, sometimes it seems that there are only two people, two heads.

But these two people can move the whole body if they pull one hair.

If there is a conflict, it will be a bloodbath.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian had explained this issue to Li Shimin more than once.

If Li Shimin did not abdicate if he wanted to, Li Chengqian would never force him to abdicate.

In fact, he really has no interest in the throne.

Too much bondage, not enough freedom.

Chapter 289 The Rise and Fall of the World

Li Shimin crossed the hall, walked to the dragon chair, and sat down gently.

His eyes swept over the civil and military officials in the court, and finally fell on Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin looked at him, full of pampering, "Chengqian, you did a good job in Henan disaster relief, and you also paid a lot of money and food. You have done a great job. Tell me, what reward do you want, I will definitely satisfy you. "

Seeing Li Shimin's attitude, all civil and military officials also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian has never had any interaction with any important ministers, nor has he ever recruited customers.

Otherwise, even if he didn't mean it, he would indeed be suspected of overshadowing the master.

"Father was joking." Li Chengqian stepped forward and cupped his hands, smiling calmly, "As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of the country, it is the duty of a son to share the worries of the father and do things for the people.

Besides, the son is already a prince, so why should he reward him. "

He thought about it, and there was really nothing special he needed.

"Hehe..." Li Shimin chuckled and said, "Okay, you are worthy of being my prince, and you have the aura to serve the country and the people. However, if you have meritorious deeds, you must be rewarded, and if you have done wrong, you must be punished. This is the rule.

How about this, Crown Prince Li Chengqian has made great contributions in supervising the disaster relief in Henan, and rewards him with a thousand taels of gold, ten pearls, and a hundred pieces of brocade..."

Li Shimin couldn't think of anything to reward, so he said something casually.

After all, Li Chengqian has neither status nor money.

But things on the scene still have to go.

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Father, Emperor Long."

Li Shimin turned his head slightly, and then fixed his eyes on Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji lowered his head, but he had a hunch and hurriedly raised his head to respond.

"Changsun Wuji, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, although you have not been in the top position for long, you cannot shirk this responsibility." Li Shimin said slowly.

Changsun Wuji hastily cupped his hands and stepped forward, mourning: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, "Changsun Wuji, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is responsible for the lax management of local officials, but I think that when he takes office as a new official, he will be given a lighter punishment, and he will be fined for three years, as an example to others."

Changsun Wuji froze slightly, fined him with three years' salary, which was not a big punishment.

After all, his eldest nephew Li Chengqian has a lot of money, so he will definitely not watch him go hungry.

In addition, the eldest grandson's family also has a lot of property, and there is still no shortage of money.

Changsun Wuji hastily stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The military officials in North Korea and Chinese can see it.

Such a mild punishment shows that Li Shimin did not blame Zhangsun Wuji in his heart.

After all, this matter is not something that happens overnight, and whoever it is will end up with this result.

After saying that, Li Shimin looked serious, glanced at all civil and military officials, and said seriously: "Although the Henan disaster relief incident has passed, I think everyone is aware of the consequences it caused.

In the four states alone, more than [-] corrupt officials were involved, accounting for nearly [-]% of the officials in the four states.

The officials involved range from princes and princes to officials in prefectures and counties.What a shocking, bloody fact this is. "

Li Shimin said, there was no anger in his words, but he was very calm.

But it reveals a face that has gone through vicissitudes.

After hearing this, Chao Wenwu frowned, his heart was fluctuating, and his face was full of self-blame.

As a minister, he cannot share the worries of the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin stood up from the dragon chair and paced around the hall.

"Sometimes I also wonder why these corrupt officials came out, even the meritorious founding of the country, the humerus of the court, the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, my confidant minister, Duke Xun Zhang Liang, have all stepped into such a footsteps.

Every day he is so grand, standing in the court hall and standing in front of me with a vow.

But his heart was so rotten that he couldn't look directly at it, so rotten that even a wild dog wouldn't want to approach it.

I don't know what he did, and you don't know either?

In the past few days, I have been in the imperial study and haven't gone anywhere. I just want to see how many ministers who dare to speak out come to me and talk about it, talking about it, arguing with me, and talking about Zhang. bright sin.

But apart from Wei Zheng, none of you have ever approached me, for fear that I would protect Zhang Liang and blame you.

What's more, I went to curry favor with Zhang Liang and went to his house to congratulate him. I want to ask you if you know what is good and evil, and whether you understand right and wrong.

In addition to caring about the seat under your feet, have you ever thought about the country and society of the Tang Dynasty!

Have you thought about the people of Datang!Are you worthy of those Limin people who died!Are you worthy of those upright court officials who died unexpectedly!

Ask yourself, do you still have ambitions?Is the concern for the country and the people still there?

people, water;

King, the boat is also, the water can carry the boat and also capsize it.

Misfortune to the common people is like cutting their thighs to eat their stomachs, and they will die when they are full.

It has only been a short year since I succeeded to the throne, and I had to behead the two dukes of the state. I hope you can take care of yourself. "

When Li Shimin spoke up to this point, he lost his voice.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, all the military officials in North Korea and Chinese burst into tears and secretly blamed themselves.

Yes, they lived so comfortably that their youthful ambitions were flattened.

If this situation is followed, where will the future hope of Datang officialdom lie.

The embankment of a thousand miles in the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed by a decaying ant nest.

Li Shimin walked to the dragon chair, sat down slowly, rubbed his temples with his hands, and then looked at Li Chengqian.

At this time, he also truly understood how much sorrow this son had shared for him.

Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Chengqian, you are in charge of this matter, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

After a pause, Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said, "My son has something to say."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "But it's okay to say."

Li Chengqian raised his head and said solemnly: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I am humble and dare not forget to worry about the country!"

In just one sentence, a turbulent wave was set off in the hearts of Li Shimin and the court officials.

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible……"

"Humble but dare not forget to worry about the country..."

"Just this one sentence, all the way to worry about the country and the people..."

All civil and military officials were shocked and awed.

Although these two sentences clearly refer to the common people, they make the princes and ministers who live in the temple even more ashamed.

If even ordinary people can do this, then what kind of heart should they serve their country.

"Okay, very good, very good..." Li Shimin waved his hands unconsciously in praise, "My son is really a caring person. If he didn't have the world in his heart, how could he make such remarks. The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility, and I dare not forget my position Worrying about the country! You must learn the lesson, abide by the law impartially, and always remember the people of the world in your heart."

The reason why Li Chengqian can be so indifferent and open-minded, and his heart is for the people, is entirely due to his mentality of being indifferent to fame and fortune, and having no desires and no pursuits.

Everything, follow the heart.

Chapter 290

Li Chengqian stepped forward, and continued: "Father, my son has one more thing to mention."

"Oh?" Li Shimin responded with curiosity on his face, "I'm all ears."

Li Chengqian said: "When the Henan incident happened, it is imperative to rectify the officials. There are more than [-] officials arrested in the four prefectures of Henan Province alone. The Tang government urgently needs the injection of fresh blood."

Li Shimin frowned, clicked his tongue and said, "What do you mean?"

Li Chengqian said seriously: "It is imminent to resume the imperial examination."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

They had already heard about this matter, and Li Shimin also strongly supported it.

It's just that the news that the imperial examinations will be resumed was released a few days ago, but no exact time was set.

Now they could tell from Li Chengqian's words that this matter was about to be put on the agenda.

Li Shimin stood up and paced back and forth: "The emperor's words are reasonable. The rectification of officials cannot be stopped, and the imperial examinations cannot be put on hold. Now our Tang Dynasty is just waiting to be rejuvenated and lacks talents."

Afterwards, he looked at Changsun Wuji in the court hall and said, "Fuji, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the appointment and removal of civil officials in the world, and you have the most right to speak about the resumption of the imperial examination. Tell me what you think."

Several aristocratic officials in the court wanted to speak out against it.

But he looked at Li Chengqian in the court hall, and then at Li Shimin who was not angry and arrogant.

The outstretched foot retracted unconsciously, unwilling to touch this bad luck again.
