Datang Longya

Chapter 1023 Decay
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin picked up the fishing rod, looked at the lake and said, "Datang is Chengqian now, so I don't need to worry about it. Since I think Chengqian is suitable as the successor, I won't say that he is not suitable at this time." What's more, no matter what Chengqian does and how he delegates power, it is our Li family who built this country. As the founder of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Li family is entitled to enjoy the treatment that others can't enjoy. Even if it is just representing God To rule the Tang Dynasty, can others still point fingers?"

Strangely, the three of them sat for a long time without catching any fish, and now they were about to withdraw, but one fish bit the hook instead.Li Shimin's strength was not enough, it was Leng Feng who helped him, and the combined efforts of the two of them caught this big fish.

Asking the guards to send the fish to the kitchen to be braised, Li Shimin pushed the wheelchair and returned to the palace leisurely.

"You really have changed a lot."

Looking at the back of Li Shimin leaving, Leng Feng couldn't help murmuring.

If it was Li Shimin in the past, if he heard Li Chengqian say such a thing, he would definitely be furious, and even risk his disgrace to come out again and regain the throne.For him, there is nothing more terrifying than deposing the emperor, or losing his voice.

Li Jiyuan caught a lot of tadpoles, and seeing that the master was about to leave, he put the tadpoles back very obediently.

Holding Li Jiyuan's little hand, Leng Feng went home worried.

Although he had thought about this when he personally taught Li Chengqian, he never thought it would come true.After all, Li Chengqian not only accepted his education, but also accepted imperial studies.And he sent Li Jiyuan out of the palace, mostly because he hoped that he would have someone to succeed him.

The traditional study of imperialism can only cultivate an egomaniac full of disgusting thoughts of "I use the world for my own use", and it is difficult to cultivate a real hero.As for this path that goes in the opposite direction, the heirs must never accept the traditional imperialism.

The storm did not come. After Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he did not rush to initiate his own changes. He even added a baron when he was appraising his merits.It was not until the autumn wind began to rise that Li Chengqian announced a decree, that is, the selection of local officials gives priority to those of local origin.

The officials also knew the benefits of doing so, and immediately there were praises one after another.In their view, it is a good thing for an emperor to be able to directly care about local people's livelihood.

However, only a few people were deceived by Li Chengqian's actions.

"Brother Huaiyi, you should have seen it. Your Majesty has let go of power without fear, and even delegated part of the power to the hands of the people. In my opinion, this is not a big deal for our traditional nobles. Good news."

"Brother Changsun's vision is extremely accurate. From my point of view, His Majesty does have such thoughts, but such behavior is beneficial to the country, although it is not in line with the ancestral system."

In the luxurious private room of the Tianxia Building, after gathering meritorious service from the court, some of them may not have official positions, but when it comes to titles, they all started as dukes.

For such a gathering, Leng Jing, Cheng Chusi and others are naturally on the invitation list.Those who shared the same feelings as Chang Sun Chong talked about it, while Leng Jing and the others hid in the corner and did not intend to get involved.

In any case, it is taboo for a group of important court officials to gather together to talk about the emperor's actions.Cheng Chusi, Du He and others were taught by the older generation that as long as this kind of thing, no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as they participate, it will definitely become bad.However, Yuchi Baolin and others were warned by Cheng Chusi, and they resolutely refused to express their opinions.

As the last fire of the older generation of generals, although Cheng Yaojin still behaved carelessly every day, he paid special attention to these things.

Di Renjie was also silent. He was very close to Li Chengqian and was even about to take over the position of prime minister, so he had a keen sense of many things.For example, the current banquet gave him a dangerous feeling. Even if he was killed, he would not believe that there were no secret guards in this group of people.

As early as the era of Baiqisi, their monitoring has been pervasive. It is not a big deal for the secret guards to be able to monitor the court.

Cheng Chusi bit the peanut and said: "They are all fools. They think that the interests of the family are threatened, so they want to try to resist. My father said that conformity is the essence of survival. Your Majesty issued this order, and the world The people around Chang’an drafted a letter of praise for the emperor’s move, which is a move that truly conforms to the hearts of the people. I don’t know what they think in front of this force.”

Di Renjie knocked on the table to signal Cheng Chusi to speak softly: "It's not because of interests. Although most of the power in the world was in the hands of the emperor, the honorable group is one of the most powerful forces in the Tang Dynasty. Discourse But the power has never been lost. Now if their right to speak is insignificant, the aristocratic family will gradually disappear from everyone. The contrast between falling from the high clouds and falling into the mundane world is not acceptable to ordinary people."

Leng Jing simply grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth one by one. After eating a few, he said, "Let's just watch from the sidelines. It is not suitable for us to be on the side or the side of the emperor. In the current situation, we can only protect ourselves by staying out of it."

Not participating, this is the result of the discussion between Leng Jing and Leng Feng.Although he was facing Li Chengqian, helping him at this time would actually hurt him. Only by remaining neutral can he help him when Li Chengqian is incapable, or give him the last assist at a critical moment.

At this time, the difference in education can be seen from the differences in the groups. These people who are out of the group are all graduates of the Academy of Arts, and those who gather to talk about it are all people who have never studied in the Academy of Arts.

Wang Xuance grew a beard, and his thin face with a long beard looked a little funny. No one informed him, but he chose to stay out of it.

Seeing Leng Jing stretching out his hand to grab peanuts, Cheng Chusi and the others also stretched out their hands. He no longer pretended to be elegant, and grabbed a handful regardless of the oiliness. Why are people from the academy so disapproving? Can the interests of the family be compared with the long-term stability of the country? In my opinion, the act of putting the two on the balance is itself a kind of stupidity."

Li Dejian, who also studied at the Academy of Arts, said: "It can't be helped. We are all the sons of a big family. In addition to receiving education at the Academy of Arts, we also have to receive family education. To be disrespectful, although my father is honored as A generation of military gods, but imparting my foothold concept is simply staying out of the way. As for Chang Sun Chong, you only need to think about his father to know why he is like this."

Leng Jing and the others gnawed a peanut hard at the same time. From their point of view, that one was simply the most corrupt existence under the sky.
