Datang Longya

Chapter 599 is too tender
Because he missed the queen, Li Shimin felt for the first time that he might be wrong, so he wanted to have a good talk with his courtiers.

From the looks of it, the queen will not come back until the issue of entrusting the governor is resolved.

I am used to someone bringing supper every night when I am tired of reviewing memorials, and I am used to having someone massage my shoulders when I am exhausted after finishing government affairs.

Habit is a very powerful force. At least after the queen left, Li Shimin would feel weak at night.

Leng Feng gave Li Shimin a gloomy look. He got into the carriage just for the convenience of talking to Li Shimin, but this guy actually treated himself as a coachman.

Forget it, since you intend to get better, it's okay if I drive you a car.

Picking up the whip, Leng Feng drove the carriage towards Tianxialou.

His driving skills are really not good. When he got out of the car, Li Shimin rubbed his waist and said, "I will never dare to ride in the car you drive in the future!"

After sending Li Shimin into Tianxialou, Leng Feng asked Lao Yuan to send letters to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, saying that he wanted to get together.

In the current situation, if they were invited in the name of Li Shimin, most of them would not pay attention, so Leng Feng could only try to trick them.

Gong Guogong's face is still enough, even the eldest grandson Wuji, who said he was sick and would not go to court, sneaked to Tianxialou.

The last eldest grandson Wuji who entered the box saw the emperor, immediately snorted coldly at Leng Feng, then turned around and was about to leave.

Li Shimin said depressedly: "Is that why you don't like me so much?"

Changsun Wuji turned around, coughed twice on purpose and said, "I'm sick, I'm afraid I'll pass it on to Your Majesty, and I'll die like that. That's it, I'm leaving!"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji insisted on leaving, Leng Feng hurriedly blocked the door of the box and said, "Mr. Zhao, the emperor wants to communicate with you. How can you communicate after you leave? The atmosphere in the court has been sluggish these days. Don't you just have the heart to talk to me?" Just call it sick and watch it at home?"

Changsun Wuji shrugged: "It's none of my business that the atmosphere in the court is down. It's not my eldest grandson Wuji who caused all this."

Even so, he still chose a seat where he couldn't see Li Shimin and sat down.

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "Let Leng Feng call you here today, just to talk about something outside the court. The matter of entrusting the governor is something I have considered for a long time. Why are you so resistant?"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but said: "The enfeoffment of governors is clearly the same thing as enfeoffment of feudal lords. Isn't the previous events of Zhou Dynasty's transformation into the Warring States period not enough to serve as a warning for future generations?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "As I said, assigning governors and feudal lords are two different things. The appointed governors don't have as much power as princes!"

"It's just the beginning, Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the surname Ji was also the most powerful, suppressing all the princes, and then what happened? Power is not obtained by the imperial power, it is generated from the bottom up. Yes! The princes are in other places, so they can do whatever they want. If the imperial power wants to deal with them, it is still beyond their reach?"

Li Shimin was awakened by Du Ruhui's words, this is really the case!Why didn't I think of this before?
This is what Mo Ji said, just like Lingnan, even if Feng An proclaims himself king, it will take several months for Chang'an to receive the news. After the decision is made, Binzhou may have already been attacked.

Li Daozong couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, as we said in private at the beginning, I will be loyal to Your Majesty, but there is no way to guarantee that after ossification, future generations will not appear unfilial. I'm afraid they will tremble under the galloping horses!"

Not only the ashes trembling, if the beating was severe and another person like Cao Cao came out, it is estimated that the graves of the people present would not be safe.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to grab the cup, but his trembling hands still couldn't catch it, so he had to give up.

When a person falls into fantasy, he will ignore many things. He turns a blind eye to the obvious truth and only yearns for the beautiful.

Seeing that the emperor was so shocked that his hands were trembling, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, let's just expose the issue of entrusting governors. Weichen and others can forget about the system you mentioned."

After all, it is an old friend, Changsun Wuji has thought about how to help Li Shimin step down from the beginning.The three provinces and the six ministries are now united as one, as long as the top orders to go on, those below can follow the top to forget some of the emperor's words.

As long as no one mentions this matter again, and there is no matter of the group of officials making a joint statement, it will not be recorded in the daily notes, nor will it smear Li Shimin's face.

Just act like it never happened.

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "You can forget it, but I can't. This matter should be made a precept for the latter!"

Seeing the emperor admitted that he was wrong, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.They were also very worried during this period, especially after Leng Feng was frustrated from the palace, even their thoughts of persuasion were dispelled.

That's good, it's good to maintain the original structure, what kind of system is there to change!

Standing up, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I still have government affairs that I haven't dealt with. Some unimportant matters have been backlogged for several days. Please punish the crime of negligence, and I will deal with it."

Hearing that they all begged the emperor to punish them one by one, Leng Feng suddenly felt helpless.

I'm still too young!Although Fang Xuanling and the others were slack, they still did not leave important matters behind, so they kept some small backlogs, ready to be blamed at any time.

If the emperor made a mistake, the courtiers would also make mistakes together. After all, the emperor can't make a mistake alone, can he?

Du Ruhui was sitting next to Leng Feng. Seeing Leng Feng's shocked gaze, he couldn't help but say, "You're still a little far away from the court. In the early years of Zhenguan, this kind of thing happened a few times. Although it wasn't a big deal, we were all like this." Do it, learn it!"

Leng Feng nodded, saying that the officialdom is like a battlefield, it seems that is really the case!
Sure enough, Li Shimin's mood improved a lot when he saw the ministers taking the initiative to plead guilty.

"It's fine to punish the crime. When the pen is closed this year, the gathering of the three provinces and six ministries will be funded by me. It will be a permanent rule in the future. It will be regarded as the welfare of the court."

The emperor can be wrong, but this mistake will never be shown on the bright side.Just like just now, Li Shimin didn't say a word "wrong".

Funding for the gathering of six ministries in three provinces is actually Li Shimin's apology.Everyone knew it well, but no one pointed it out. Instead, they thanked the emperor for his generosity.

It seems that it is very face-saving to eat with the emperor's money?
This year is Leng Feng's fifth year as Minister of War, and his second year in office.

Looking at the harmonious monarch and ministers, Leng Feng realized that he was still a little too young in court.
