Datang Longya

Chapter 597 Willing to go alone

The news that the empress went to Jiucheng Palace to "rescue the summer heat" did not attract the attention of either the emperor or Changsun Wuji.

Only Liu Shuwen, after discussing with Leng Feng, took her two children to Jiucheng Palace following in the Queen's footsteps.

After being so angry, I hope the queen will not be angry.

Since the queen left, the palace has fallen into a deathly silence.In the past, when the emperor was angry, the queen would help them bear the thunderstorm. Now that the queen is away, who knows when the emperor will be furious and chop them off.

As the lowest-ranking person in the palace, even Wei Zheng would not care if one or two died.

After all, the harem is the emperor's harem, and the only one who can slightly influence the emperor's thoughts is the empress.But the queen was not in the palace at this time.
Like the silent harem, the court hall is also terribly silent. In the past, there would be conflicts between the emperor and his ministers, but now the emperor does not fight, and the ministers do not fight. The court meeting is more like a press conference. As long as someone speaks, it can pass.

It was like the silence before the storm. As long as one party proposed to entrust the governor, the pile of gunpowder would be detonated and violent disputes would break out.

Leng Feng was also powerless to deal with this situation. Li Shimin even drove the queen away in anger. What can he do as an outsider?What can I advise?Nothing can persuade ah!

After half a month of such silence, I don't know if Li Shimin summoned Changsun Wuji in private. Changsun Wuji suddenly said that he was ill and would not go to court. One year of "sick leave".

As old friends, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji have always been kind in court, no matter which side has needs, they can get the support of the other side.

But now, what the two of them are doing is like turning their faces.

After Changsun Wuji said that he was sick and did not go to court, the originally silent court became even more silent. Both the monarch and his ministers stared and stared, and it took a long time to say a word.

This can't work!How can the lifeless court guarantee the operation of various parts of the Tang Dynasty?
In order to end this silence, Leng Feng bit the bullet and entered the palace, deciding to have a good chat with Li Shimin.

In the imperial garden, Li Shimin half exposed his chest, holding a jug in his left hand, a large plate of peanuts on his right, and a group of dancers in cool clothes on the opposite side.

Seeing this scene, Leng Feng could not help but sigh.

Li Shimin seldom drank, and would only drink a little unless he was extremely tired or socializing. Usually, he needed to keep his head absolutely calm.As for the dancing girl, it was originally something that Li Yuan only had in the palace.

Seeing Leng Feng approaching, the half-drunk Li Shimin said: "Come here, bring another pot of this 30-year-old wine to the Duke of Jin. Haha, Leng Feng, what you said was really good at that time. The peanuts and wine are a perfect match." , I can’t live without this thing now!”

Leng Feng sat across from Li Shimin and sighed, "It's just a matter of breaking the system. As for turning you into this? Where is your ambition?"

Li Shimin handed the jug to Leng Feng: "What are you talking about? Come on, drink some wine with me, and see how good the dance is, tsk tsk tsk, look at that dancer, she has such a good figure, do you want it? If you don't want it, I will tonight Luckily for her!"

Leng Feng really couldn't stand this kind of topic, took the jug and put it aside, and said: "Speaking of business, what do you think? The matter of entrusting the governor"

Li Shimin smashed the jug on the table, and said dissatisfiedly: "Drinking! What are you talking about!"

Leng Feng was also dissatisfied and said: "Speak out if you have something to say! If you don't speak up, you will fight with the officials. What will Tang do? The currency reform will be carried out soon. I don't think any of you are concerned about this matter!"

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Feng An is still a little bit capable. He can conquer the Nanman area in about a month."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin picked up the jug again, took a sip and said, "You let me speak? What did I say? I am clearly thinking about the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, and you oppose me just for the sake of that little family interest. How can I say that?" Do? Huh?"

Family interests?It may account for [-]% of the reasons!But there are still [-]% of the reasons because the system of assigning governors is simply not feasible!

"You are only concerned about the damage to the interests of the officials' families, but have you ever thought that the system of enfeoffing governors is basically the same as enfeoffing princes, and it won't work at all?"

Li Shimin shook his head: "It's not the same. The enfeoffment of princes in the Zhou Dynasty failed because the princes had too much control over the fiefdoms. The Tang Dynasty is different. How much power do you think the localities can get?"

It is precisely because of the influence of the enfeoffment of the princes that Qin Shihuang paid so much attention to centralization. It has evolved until now, and the emperor will always be the most powerful one in the world.

"The enfeoffment of governors, their power is not enough to cause storms, with them, not only can promote the prosperity of the local area, but also can turn the Tang Dynasty into a solid few, no matter whether it is a foreign enemy or an internal rebellion, it can be over in the shortest time. .”

It has to be said that Li Shimin is still very good at fooling around. According to what he said, Leng Feng is a little convinced that it is useful to entrust the governor.

However, he still found a fatal point: "According to you, the Tang Dynasty is still a whole, it is clearly a country pieced together by countless small countries!"

Li Shimin said dissatisfiedly: "The Great Tang is still the Great Tang, how come it's just a patchwork?"

Leng Feng said: "If you want to implement this system, your descendants must guarantee the royal family, and guarantee that Chang'an is the strongest in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it must be the strongest one. As long as there is a slight decline, it will lead to chaos. happened."

Li Shimin said contemptuously: "You think our Li family can decline? What are you thinking!"

Seeing Li Shimin's blind self-confidence, Leng Feng wanted to slap him, and then told him that if Laozi hadn't changed the course of history, your son would be usurped in the future!

And it was a woman who almost took over your Li family!
"I don't know where your confidence comes from. There are so many people saying that the governor system won't work, why don't you believe it!"

Li Shimin curled his lips, it was this action that made Leng Feng completely lose his interest in persuading Li Shimin.

The current Li Shimin is simply in a dead end. The more people oppose him, the more he feels that what he is doing is right.

Picking up the jug and taking a sip, Leng Feng cupped his hands to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Since it doesn't make sense, let's not talk about it, just wait for him to figure it out.

Looking at the back of Leng Feng leaving, Li Shimin squeezed the handle of the jug in his hand until it deformed.

Another one, another one who obviously didn't support him and avoided him!
That's all for Changsun Wuji, why is it the same for the Queen and Leng Feng?

Ming
What I think is for the good of Datang!
