Chapter 854 On the Reform of DPRK

Li Ke.

Li Shimin's third son.

If Yi Yi inherited the crown prince, he would already be the crown prince.

What's more, Li Shimin admired his son so much, but in the end he was still no match for the word '妈'.

But that's the case.

Li Ke also hopes that through his own efforts, he can appeal to his father to know the thoughts or ambitions in his heart.

If he can get his father's affirmation, it will definitely make Li Ke even more happy.

As for whether he can be a prince, after Li Zhi has become a prince, the idea of ​​being a prince has gradually faded in his heart.

The facts have come to pass, and Li Ke has no other way.

What's more, there is another Zhao Guogong who stares at him every day. Even if Li Ke has all kinds of abilities, he can't shake Li Zhi's position as the prince.

Unless Li Zhi died suddenly, maybe it would be his turn to be the crown prince.

But then again.

The former prince Li Chengqian is still imprisoned somewhere in the palace.

Moreover, even Wei Wang Li Tai was imprisoned in the palace like the former prince Li Chengqian.

If these two people follow the historical course, the former prince Li Chengqian should have died in Qianzhou, where he was exiled at the beginning of this year, and Wei Wang Li Tai should also be demoted to Shunyang County King and placed in Junzhou by Li Shimin Yun Township is right.

but.

Out of love for his sons, Li Shimin tried his best to protect the two of them.

But even if the two of them were saved, there were still people in the court who proposed to punish the two of them every day.

And Li Shimin's father, even the emperor, knew that no matter how hard he tried, it would not last long.

Li Yuan didn't speak, Li Shimin wanted to protect him, but the court officials refused.

after all.

Court officials also have their own factions.

It's like that many people in the court support Li Ke, the prince, and want to make sure that Li Ke, a prince with a strong root, becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, many court officials admired Li Zhi.

Of course, there are also supporters of the princes.

In short.

Whether it is these court officials or other officials, their ultimate goal is to obtain a meritorious service from the dragon, so as to improve their status.

Only in this way can they have a bright future.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Li Zhi's position as prince seems to be very stable, but everyone knows that Li Shimin's favorite prince is the third son Li Ke in front of him.

And that's why.

Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, mobilized many people to guard against Li Ke and the officials who supported Li Ke all the time.

Lee.

With just one word, we know that no matter who is in power, Zhao Guogong's eldest grandson Wuji doesn't want to do harm to his eldest grandson's family.

It doesn't matter whether it's Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or even Li Zhi.

Just the three of them, no matter who sits on the throne, his eldest grandson Wuji is their uncle.

On the other hand, if Li Ke and the others are in the position.

His eldest grandson Wuji is their uncle on the surface, but everyone knows that his eldest grandson Wuji has nothing to do with Li Ke and other non-direct princes.

not to mention.

Changsun Wuji has always had a lot of complaints about the previous dynasty, and from time to time he talked about how the previous dynasty was.

to this end.

For the sake of his eldest grandson's family, Changsun Wuji did everything he could to overcome all difficulties, just to keep his nephew from becoming the future emperor.

Only in this way, his eldest grandson's family will continue to grow, and will not liquidate his eldest grandson's family because someone else became the emperor.

Even though Zhao Guogong is so powerful, there are still people who criticize his eldest grandson Wuji.

Fortunately, Li Shimin believed in his eldest grandson Wuji, so all kinds of criticisms were ignored.

But Changsun Wuji is very clear and clear.

If the position of prince is changed, and once Li Shimin falls, his eldest grandson's family will become the target of public criticism, will be criticized by the court officials and ministers, and then fall apart.

Therefore, his eldest grandson Wuji so strongly pushed Li Zhi, a prince with little talent and little ability, to sit on the throne, which is enough to show that he is afraid, he is worried.

Therefore, it was precisely because of Li Shimin's approval of one of Li Ke's suggestions that Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up to oppose it.

It can be seen from this that Changsun Wuji was worried that Li Shimin would take a new look at Wu Wang Li Ke, and even raise the matter of Yi Chu again.

For this reason, as long as it is any suggestion or idea of ​​Li Ke, Changsun Wuji will stand up and deny it. Whether it is right or wrong, as long as it is Li Ke, then one word, no.

At this time, Li Ke was in a particularly comfortable mood.

My own suggestion was approved by my father. Even though Changsun Wuji jumped out to deny it, Li Ke could still see his father's admiring gaze on his face.

Sitting on the throne, Li Shimin saw through the second proposals of the ministers and knew what the ministers meant.

Immediately, Li Shimin, who had been sitting in today's court meeting, suddenly got up, walked down slowly, looked around at the court officials, took a deep breath and said: "The court meeting should look like a court meeting. .If the daily court discussions are like today, you attack me, then should we discuss state affairs and civil affairs? It has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. During these [-] years In the remaining years, there have been more than [-] days of court meetings. Since I became the throne, in the past [-] years, there have also been more than [-] to [-] days of court meetings. During these days of court meetings, I have never seen many The day is stable, and every court meeting is under attack. Let me ask, should this kind of court meeting be changed? Should it be changed!"

'boom'

Li Shimin's words immediately made the whole court seem to be blown up.

Just because Li Ke said that he would legislate the constitution of the court, Li Shimin respected it so much.

The court officials suddenly realized that Li Shimin might be disgusted by their criticism for what he said.

why.

Because in Li Shimin's words, he even said how long it took.

The court officials looked at each other a little bit.

And Changsun Wuji was also flustered at the moment, feeling that Li Shimin was very sure of Li Ke's suggestion, which made him a little confused at the beginning.

Just when he was about to speak, Li Shimin took a look at him and continued: "I have had this idea for the reform of the imperial court a few years ago. Now, Li Ke's suggestion is exactly what I think. Like today It's time for you to attack me like this, attacking me without evidence. I don't want to hear you criticizing this and that every day in the days of the next court meeting, and I don't want to catch wind and shadows. Hearing the wind and making things happen. There must be real evidence for everything. Criticism is very simple, but if you wrong others, if you follow my laws of the Tang Dynasty, don’t you have to sit back?"

After Li Shimin's words fell behind.

Suddenly, there was another bang and the pot exploded.

From Li Shimin's words, all court officials have heard that Li Shimin is determined to reform the court council.

However, Changsun Wuji, who originally wanted to hold an objection, was relieved and shut up after seeing Li Shimin's look at him.

And after listening to Li Shimin's words again, he couldn't say any more.

No matter how much he wanted to oppose this proposal, and how much he wanted to deny Li Ke's proposal, Li Shimin said that this idea had already existed several years ago.

At this moment, how can he stand up and object.

If he really opposed it, he would be against Li Shimin.

Except for his eldest grandson Wuji, it can be said that all court officials are also like this, they are not good at opposing Li Shimin.

after all.

Although Li Shimin is easy to talk, but Li Shimin has never talked so much like today.

In the past, Li Shimin either listened to opinions, or occasionally affirmed or denied them, and he rarely made a lot of remarks like today.

Although all court officials listened to what Li Shimin said, they were unwilling to object to what Li Shimin said.

But there are still some court officials who stand up and disagree.

This is not.

At this moment, a censor just jumped out, "I have something to say."

"What does Zheng Aiqing want to say?" Seeing someone jumping out, Li Shimin gave a cold look, then walked back to the throne and sat down.

The official surnamed Zheng cupped his hands and replied: "Return to the Holy One. According to what the Holy Majesty said, then I, the censor, will not be eligible for court council from now on. Just now, the Holy Majesty said that everything must be based on real evidence. , but there are very few officials in my Tang Dynasty. If I hear something, do I still need to send someone to check it, and then go to the court to prove it? For this reason, I don't understand the reform of the court that the Holy Majesty is holding. Can't understand it either."

"Zheng Aiqing has reached the point of substance. From my point of view, no matter whether it is Yushitai or other ministries, after hearing about it, it must be checked before it can be played, or it can be proposed at the court meeting. As Yushitai has no It will be sent to other ministries for verification. Of course, this is just my idea. But this idea should be feasible. After today’s court meeting is over, this matter can be discussed.” Li Shimin looked at Zheng Zheng The surname official said.

After the official surnamed Zheng heard this, he was still a little unwilling.

Li Shimin said so, isn't it obvious that he wants to strip the functions of Yushitai.

Even, from now on, this Yushitai will become a subsidiary department.

The official surnamed Zheng wanted to speak again, but at this moment, Wei Zheng, who had never said much, stood up, touched him lightly, cupped his hands at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I insist on protecting your Majesty." The resolution, I, Yushitai, firmly supports the resolution of the Holy Majesty."

For Wei Zheng to stand up, it is enough to represent the entire Yushitai.

Don't look at Wei Zheng as the prime minister's attendant, but he still has the doctor Yushi of the Yushitai on his body, and he is in charge of the entire Yushitai.

although.

He, Wei Zheng, had some ideas about Li Ke's suggestion, which Li Shimin affirmed, but Wei Zheng knew that once Li Shimin decided to reform, it would be difficult to stop it.

If you really want to stop them, you can only put forward their ideas in private when it is not a court meeting.

One is not to lose Li Shimin's face, and the other is to prevent the matter from being known to everyone, saying that the court officials opposed the emperor and spread to the people.

Seeing Wei Zheng standing up to speak, Li Shimin nodded slightly.

The discussion on the reform of the court council has come to an end, so it can be said that it has come to an end.

Li Ke, who was not far away, was a little excited, and felt that his proposal would definitely bring some changes to the court.

Just when Li Ke was about to stand up again, Wang Li suddenly returned to the palace, went outside the Taiji Hall, and rushed into the hall with rapid steps.

Seeing Wang Li rushing into the hall in such a hurry, Li Shimin who was sitting on the throne already guessed in his heart that the will that he made yesterday might have come to fruition.

Wang Li hurriedly came to Li Shimin, whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the slaves have been found out, and the man has also been caught."

"How many were caught!" Li Shimin looked at Wang Li and asked.

Wang Li's voice was very low, but Li Shimin's voice was very loud.

In the court hall, all the court officials knew that there was something to do when they saw Wang Li's sudden arrival. The court officials even shut up and pricked up their ears to hear what Wang Li would say.

and so.

Although Wang Li's ear-piercing voice was small, it still reached the ears of all court officials.

Wang Li saw that all the court officials pricked up their ears to listen, and saw that Li Shimin was asking loudly, so he had to straighten his body a little bit, and continued to reply in a slightly louder voice: "The efforts of the servants and the imperial army to investigate today are hidden in Guiyi. There are not many villains in the square, there are only about thirty people."

"Then why were they not caught last night? Could it be that they have another hiding place?" Li Shimin asked.

Wang Li was a little embarrassed, so he had to tell the truth: "Returning to the Holy Lord, the slave girl almost made a mistake. Originally, the slave girl thought that after those villains went to Guiyifang, they would definitely live in those ordinary houses. After the slave girl checked last night, but But no trace of them was found. For this reason, the servants boldly ordered a thorough investigation of all the big families and official residences in Guiyifang. Fortunately, the servants lived up to the grace, and the more than [-] people were being captured by the Shangshu. live in hiding in his house."

"Feng Ju!!! Where is he!" Li Shimin became angry after hearing Wang Li's words.

Dozens of villains are hiding in an official's house, which is not something Li Shimin can bear.

and.

This official is still a minister.

What is the job of Shang Shudu?
As soon as you hear his name, you know that he is a subordinate official of Shangshu Province.

However, the rank of this Shangshudu is not high, it is only from the seventh rank, but its power is not small. The officials who handle the daily affairs of the Shangshu Province are in charge of sending and receiving documents, missing inspections, supervising printing, giving paper and pens, etc. , is the assistant officer of the left and right prime ministers who supervise the various ministries and divisions of Shangshu province.

An official with a lot of power is hiding the villain at this time, which has to make Li Shimin angry.

Wang Li replied: "Feng Ju has been taken down by the servants. At the same time, the servants discovered that there are hundreds of weapons hidden in his house."

"Bold, even a small person can do nothing. He dares to hide the villain so blatantly, and hides so many weapons. He Feng Ju is trying to rebel against us, Tang Dynasty! Send an order to bring Feng Ju into the palace, I really want to ask him if I have lost my morals enough to make him want to rebel!" Li Shimin was really angry.

During such a court meeting, it was said that someone was going to plot against him, which was enough to show that Li Shimin was not angry when he heard the news.
