Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 481 Refutation of Chengqing Palace (1)

As the saying goes, blessings never come singly, misfortunes never come singly. I just got the emperor's decree yesterday during the day, and I was waiting to discuss it with the prime ministers. Before I stayed overnight, the emperor's old disease of wind disease relapsed. The imperial doctors were busy in the Lizheng Hall in the middle of the night. , so that the emperor stopped tossing and fell asleep peacefully.

Before going to bed, the emperor ordered Fang Xuanling, who was on duty in the Hongwen Palace, to recruit Cao Cao, and ordered the prince Li Chengqian to sit in the Chengqing Palace to govern the country and know all the important military and political affairs in the country.

Regarding the emperor's disease, Li Chengqian once talked to Sun Simiao. The old sun gave two treatment options. The first is to let the emperor cultivate his body, temper his body, combine work and rest, and eat a balanced diet in order to reduce the number of attacks. It is the same as the plan Hua Tuo proposed to Cao Cao, that is, to use the knife.

Regarding the two treatment methods he gave, Li Chengqian couldn't choose at all. First of all, his identity is a son, even if he can persuade the emperor on diet and political affairs, but the emperor's favor on the concubine is too private. In private matters, not to mention him, even Empress Changsun can't control it.

As for the last point, Li Chengqian rejected it without even thinking about it. If he presented this treatment plan to the emperor, then needless to say, the final end would be that the emperor would depose himself for the crime of treason and regicide. A better result would be Exile, if it's more serious, it means that people's heads are dropped.

Isn't it okay to find trouble for yourself?In desperation, Li Chengqian could only keep silent about such a thing, and at the same time sent a lot of supplements and medicinal materials to the empress, hoping that the emperor could eat two more bites when he was in Lizheng Palace.

The next day, at the Chengqing Hall, Li Chengqian summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng and more than [-] important officials to listen to the government affairs and discuss the issues of Xiazhou officials and county lieutenants.This is not the first time that Prince Fansheng has supervised the country, and all the officials are used to it, so the court affairs are going on in an orderly manner.

After finishing all the affairs, Li Chengqian pointed to Ma Zhou and asked him to state the current status of some states and counties and the necessity of rectifying state officials and county lieutenants.As soon as Ma Zhou's words came out, the courtiers present immediately started talking about it. There were too many people and things involved, and if it was carried out all over the country suddenly, it might shake the court.

As the leader of the gentry, this was deeply painful to Cen Wenwen, so he had to be the first to stand up.I saw him straightening his hat, bowing with a serious face and saying: "Your Highness, I think that what the Censor said is inappropriate. The replacement of one state after another is to ensure the integrity of officials, to obey the law, to make government orders go smoothly, and to protect the common people." To a large extent, it can avoid being exploited by corrupt officials.

But at the same time, it can also bring disasters to the imperial court. Once the imperial court acts according to this, will it cause the state officials and the imperial court to be divorced, and have different dreams in the same bed?Your Highness, it is not easy for Emperor Taiwu and His Majesty to deal with this kind of people. You can't do whatever you want, this is a state of chaos! "

In Cen Wenwen's eyes, Li Chengqian was just getting carried away, he didn't know how much he weighed, and it was because his reserves were stable, so he just went there and messed around.

He is Zhongshuling himself, and as the prime minister of the imperial court, even if he is not from the Eastern Palace, he can't just sit back and watch the prince mess around and make a mess of the originally stable state affairs.

After Cen Wenben finished speaking, Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also came out to echo: "Your Highness, I share the world with the scholar bureaucrats in the Tang Dynasty, and the state officials are all from aristocratic families. The official hat of the family, isn't it a little ridiculous.

And those who were hated by the ministers who were deprived of office would not be Ma Zhou, but His Majesty and you. He is committing an injustice against the emperor, and I ask His Highness to punish him for his infidelity and disrespect. "

"That's right, Your Highness, I was born as a leader of soldiers. I don't even know that it is not easy to lead troops in Zhechong Mansion. These captains of Zhechong are all heroic officials who followed His Majesty to fight the world. They escaped death. It has only been a few years since the end of the day. It's okay for civilian officials to talk about crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, but it's hard for those illiterate military generals. Your Highness, you are also a battle-hardened general. You don't need to say more about this truth, you should be clear about it."

Zhang Liang's words were a blow to Li Chengqian. Aren't you famous for loving soldiers like a son? You want to move them this time. Let's see how you carry this notoriety, and from now on, the generals in the army will definitely treat you If you no longer trust him, what capital do you still have to fight against King Wei.

He and Yan Lide didn't have Cen Wenwen's clear mind about public and private affairs. Over the years, the first line of Wei Wang had been suppressed by the East Palace in Chang'an, so from the fifth year of Zhenguan, the first line of Wei Wang had put the main energy on it.Once the imperial court implements such a policy, their losses will be serious, so they stand up and go along with the people of the King of Shu, in order to protect themselves!
The three of them have taken the lead, and with their tune at the bottom, it will be easier for the people behind them, so they all came forward to advise, thinking that this is absolutely impossible.

"It's all over?" Li Chengqian put down the teacup in his hand and asked slowly, and glanced at Fang Du and several prime ministers who were closing the curtain and recuperating.

Li Chengqian caressed the case with his left hand, put his right hand on his lap, and said seriously: "King Ma Bin is talking about punishing officials who abuse their power and standardizing the local government. When did he say that they will all seize officials? This is not the first time that Gu is sitting in court. He is also the kind of idiot who doesn't eat minced meat, how can he not know the importance of human heart?
I, Tang Dynasty, ruled the world with kingly principles and people's hearts. Could it be that I was so stupid as to destroy the Great Wall? "

Seeing the stern expression and tone of the prince, Cen Wenwen and others sat back after looking at each other. Yes, they all had the idea of ​​making a fuss out of a molehill, and wanted to overthrow the prince and Ma Zhou's remarks through language problems, so as to achieve their respective goals. ulterior purpose.

What the hell, the emperor just fell ill, and these bastards gave me a hand. Is it true that I, the prince, gave it for nothing, or do they think that I am still the kid who hugged the emperor's thigh and pretended to be a tiger? It's shameless.

Okay, I'm going to have a good chat with you today, so after brushing off his sleeves, Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and looked at it. The ministers in the palace have been chaste for ten years, so how young are you? Is this still serving the king with sincerity? ?
For so many years, the Taiping officials have taken your heads as bad, do you know that the surname is Li in this world!
"If there's something wrong and you don't want to be punished, then why do you need the king's law? If it makes them unhappy, you will raise troops and make trouble, and the court will compromise, so you have to blindly look at their faces. Then the Jiangshan Li family also Don't sit still, give them the Dragon Seat of Chengqing Palace, okay?
Don't you want to learn from the old wisdom of the ministers of the Han Dynasty and send the heads of Gu and Ma Zhou to appease those corrupt officials and thieves! "

Li Chengqian's words were extremely harsh, and they were words of punishment. After Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others heard it, they led all the officials to kneel down and pleaded guilty to the prince, saying that they dare not. .
