Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 489 Prince, you are wise!

Wei Zheng is not happy about the prince's kindness in helping his relatives. If it were changed to the emperor, he would definitely chase him to the Chengqing Palace to talk about it, but the prince is in power today, so Wei Zheng had no choice but to Don't worry, daring to die and not wanting to die are two different things, and Wei Zheng still knows the difference during this period.

Don't look at the prince's usual amiable appearance, if he can be courteous, he must be courteous. Once he goes against his wishes, he will be more ruthless than the emperor.Zhu Taozhui, known as Zhongxiu of Liangshu, is a great Confucian who lived all over the world. Just because he should not be an official, he directly exterminated the nine clans. It is useless to ask anyone for mercy. Is this something ordinary people can do?
When Wei Zheng walked to Shuntian Gate and was still slandering the prince, Heng Lian, the commander of the guards of the East Palace and the deputy commander, ran over. It turned out that it was the prince who ordered Wei Zheng to meet him in the Chengqing Palace.

Why is the prince looking for the old man at this time, as a peacemaker?Confused, Wei Zheng walked into the Chengqing Palace, saw the crown prince reviewing the memorial, and immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Veteran Wei Zheng has seen His Royal Highness the crown prince."

Oh, after putting down the pen in his hand, Li Chengqian waved to Heng Lian, motioned him to serve two cups of tea, and then smiled lightly: "Wei Xiang, you are still angry, come on, sit down."

After thanking his seat, Wei Zheng, holding a teacup, frowned and expressed his doubts: "Your Highness, you have always been jealous, even though they are all foreign relatives, you shouldn't be so conniving. The examples are right in front of you!"

Needless to say, the eldest grandson's family, but the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family is the concubine Jin who has never been married. Jin Wang is a prince who grew up in front of the prince. He was not surprised that the crown prince favored the Wang family.

Hahaha... After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Chengqian laughed out loud, brushing his chest while laughing, making Wei Zheng confused for a while, what's so funny about that.

"Wei Xiang, Wei Xiang, you have been talking about this truth from the first year of Zhenguan until now. It is a cliché. Gu can tell you today that no matter who is in danger of the status of Li Tang's royal family, you don't need to ask His Majesty. The Six Rates reduced them to dust in an instant."

Raising his hand to stop Wei Zheng who was about to speak, Li Chengqian continued: "I can tell you clearly today that Li Ji, Wang Cheng, and Changsun Huan all acted according to Gu's orders, and their purpose is to weaken the various departments in the Mobei Grassland. Gu knows, This is the way against benevolence and righteousness, but I can't stop it alone, when Mobei met the alliance."

Afterwards, Li Chengqian handed over the military reports of the various alliances in Mobei to Wei Zheng. The sentence that Wei Zheng put forward at the beginning is not my race, and his heart must be different is still reasonable, but at that time, the court tightened its belt to win. , If the fight continues, the court will be bankrupt, so the Mobei tribes are given time to breathe.

In the past few years, Xue Yantuo, Ba Yegu and other ministries have been scrambling to move, and their disobedience is clearly revealed. They have the intention of taking sudden profits and replacing them. For the common people, it is inevitable that another war will break out in the north and drag Datang into the quagmire of war, and it will also repeat the history of Han Wudi's refusal to conquer.

Li Chengqian has never been in a loss-making business. With the last Mobei League which played a role in dividing the tribes, and now he is indulging in wine, sex and pleasure. In a few years, the blood of the Turkic warriors will be exhausted.Even if the time comes, and there are no women to give birth to warriors for them, where will the troops of the various ministries come from? .
"Wei Xiang, to put it bluntly, Gu is not easy to be a prince. No matter the complicated political situation, the unpredictable assassination, or the dangerous and unpredictable battlefield, Gu has experienced it all. Let me tell you a little bit, the past ten years The prince is worthy of being your prime minister for 20 years, and to be able to live to this day, sitting here and talking to you, is already an ancestor's virtue."

"When Emperor Taiwu passed away, the emperor and Gu knelt in front of the couch. The father said that for the sake of the country of the Tang Dynasty, he was not afraid of being criticized by thousands of people and would be stigmatized for thousands of years. Today Gu will tell you this sentence again, as long as you can In the country of Kangtai, the people suffer less from wars, and Gu is willing to bear the eternal infamy. Anyway, Gu has killed countless people, and has already been called the king of tigers and wolves, so what if there is more infamy!"

Zhu Taozhui and other Confucian masters watched the people of Chang'an in front of the execution in Dongshi, and loudly scolded Li Chengqian as a cruel and cruel prince, just like the king of tigers and wolves in Qin Dynasty. It's not as good as it is, if there is such a prince who dies without the second generation, it is just unreasonable.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as that kind of rotten Confucianism. All the subjects of the world can see the hard work His Highness has done for the country and the people. Since the Mobei Mutual Market is His Highness' strategy to stabilize the border and weaken the non-subjects, the old minister is naturally Nothing to say.

If you have to choose between this and endless war, then the old minister will also make such a choice, His Highness need not always feel guilty. "

Hearing this, Wei Zheng understood that the Changsun family, Taiyuan Wang family, and Li Jiming were carrying out the order of the prince, but secretly it was the emperor's acquiescence. If there is no emperor's decree, no matter how domineering the prince is, Li Ji's 10,000+ army I won't listen to the tune without purpose, hey, the old man is careless, why didn't I think of this!

"Wei Xiang, Your Majesty gave them a chance, but they don't cherish it, so what can you do?" After speaking, Li Chengqian spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.

Then he stood up again, walked up to Wei Zheng, and said in a low voice, "Actually, you are right to be worried. There are many lands owned by aristocratic families and many private tenants. You can manage the eldest grandson's family alone, but you can't control them. Wang You have also seen Gui's performance in the Tai Chi Hall today, as long as they are profitable, they can trample on all the laws of the family."

"So checking the land in Guanzhong, escaping households, changing the situation of narrow and wide townships, and enriching the population and taxation of the imperial court will become the focus of the next policy. In the next few years, the imperial court will re-measure all the land in Guanzhong, no matter who it is If you exceed the limit and take up a point, you will spit it out.

The other is the population. Why are they hiding so many people secretly, farming?Not necessarily, if you say it is small, it is self-defense, and if it is big, it is conspiracy.In the past, when the world was uncertain, it was fine to use this kind of excuse to cover the mouth of the court.

But now neither the father nor the orphan can tolerate it, so cultivating a group of Qingliu cadres is the most important thing to solve the problem. As the leader of Qingliu, if you don’t hand it over to Zheng Gong, who will you hand it over to?”

After taking the imperial decree from the crown prince, he opened it and glanced at it for a few times. After confirming that it was written by the emperor himself, Wei Zheng, who was overjoyed, stretched out his thumb and praised: "Prince, you are wise, it's time to clean up those things that are rich and unkind!".
