Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 608

Li Shimin is the son of heaven immediately, and he is indeed a wise lord. He doesn't need to be reminded that he knows the truth that he can win the world immediately, but not rule the world immediately.The most important issue in governing the world is the selection of officials. Since he took over the throne, he has paid special attention to the issue of the administration of officials, because only when the administration of officials is clear can the people of the world have a good life.

Li Chengqian clearly remembered that after the Northern Expedition in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the officials shielded the scholars who cheated in the imperial examinations. After the case was over, they said to him in the court meeting: I work hard all day long, not only worrying about the people, but also wanting to make the ministers and others guard the wealth.The sky is not too high, and the earth is not too thick. I am always conscientious and fearful of the sky and the earth.If Qing and others can observe the law carefully, they will always fear the heaven and the earth as I do. Not only will the people be peaceful, but they will always be happy.The ancients said: "A wise man loses his aspirations by having more money, and a fool makes mistakes by having more money." This statement can be a deep warning.

If you are greedy and corrupt for personal gain, you will not stop breaking the public law and harming the people, even if you don't hear about it, wouldn't the center always be afraid?There are many fears, and there are deaths because of them.How can a man be greedy for money and property, harm his life, and make every descendant feel ashamed?Qing and others should think deeply about this statement. "

In addition to admonishing the ministers to enforce the law impartially, another meaning of Li Shimin is to put the villain first and then the gentleman. Let's greet you first, and don't wait until the incident happens to ask me for favors, so as not to deduct a buck for the emperor. The hat of punishing without teaching.

Take the case in Yongchang years ago as an example. So many officials were sentenced to death from top to bottom, and women and children who should have been exiled without officials were beheaded together. Even Fang Xuanling, who has always been known for his generosity, didn't say a word, which shows how secretive the officials are about the emperor's anti-corruption.

Just after the end of the year, Ma Zhou, the official censor, received a report letter of petty corruption. The official involved was General Chen Wanfu of the Right Guard.Ma Zhou didn't need to think about it to know that it was the result of Chen Wanfu's arrogance and domineering and offending others, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten here because of the few money. This is obviously a big fuss.

Zhenguan Dynasty Doumi only had four qian, and this amount Chen Wanfu took was not enough to exchange for a pot of good wine in Chang'an City, but he caught up with such a stall, didn't he want him to die?But according to the rules of the imperial court, this chapter cannot be suppressed when it comes, and it is at the height of the limelight, so Ma Zhou had to report the matter of the three or two pennies to the Zichen Palace.

When Ma Zhou came, it happened that the emperor, father and son, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other important officials were looking at the copper coin samples of "Zhenguan Yongbao" newly minted this year.Unexpectedly, the emperor who killed the corrupt officials did not ask Chen Wanfu to be taken, but reprimanded the prince in a rage.

I saw him directly throwing the book to the prince, and shouted loudly: "The arrogant soldier, these are the arrogant soldiers brought out by you. Chen Wanfu didn't care about blessings at first, and now it's even more important to follow you to make military exploits in the southwest." There is no one in sight. If you dare to snatch a few buckets of bran without military discipline today, will you dare to force the palace tomorrow? Look at Duke Dai, when did soldiers plunder when he was leading the army, you will see again Look at you, what kind of soldiers are you carrying?"

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng and others who came in to impeach were stunned, what the hell, what a big deal, why did His Majesty get so angry.Could it be that His Majesty was jealous because of the crown prince's great military achievements, so he wanted to repeat Wei Zheng's old trick of joining the king of Wei and severely suppress the prince?
The ministers in the palace are all human beings, they all know the cruelty of the imperial power struggle, the emperor must have heard some gossips in the court, hey, Tian family, once this seed is planted, the royal family will grow again. There was a bloody storm, and King Wu and King Wei should be happy now.

Among the ministers, Ma Zhou was suffering and couldn't tell. He had no choice but to attack just now. He had no intention of using Chen Wanfu's incident to attack Donggong.Besides, the crown prince treats him well on weekdays. If it is because he made His Majesty want to abolish the establishment and shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, then his crime will be unforgivable!

Just when everyone was worried about the abnormality, Li Chengqian, who was kneeling beside the dragon case, didn't have the time to think so much, because he was busy looking at the emperor's feet now. You can think of the tricks of writing with feet, which is enough As soon as it was said, after a long time of doing it, Li Chengqian understood four words: rest the matter, protect the person.

Li Chengqian leaned over to plead guilty. The reason why he noticed the abnormality of the emperor was because the emperor emphasized twice that they were good soldiers he led. It’s not ridiculous. They fought with us, okay? , the relationship with him is the usual subordinate of a handsome general, so it is a bit biased!
And this is not the temper of the emperor. Didn't he say yesterday that he must eliminate all evils when dealing with corrupt officials?Oh, I see, if you kill the general who has just made military exploits because of these few buckets of glutinous rice, it will hurt the hearts of the soldiers.

Besides, Chen Wanfu turned out to be the school lieutenant of Prince Qin's mansion and a retainer from Qiandi. All three elder brothers died in battle at Hulao. His Majesty has earned the reputation of loving soldiers like sons.

After figuring this out, Li Chengqian kowtowed three times neatly, and then said respectfully: "No, what my father blamed is that this is all the crime of my son's laxity, and my son is willing to accept any punishment from my father." Punishment!" Well, let us take the blame, who made us sons!

Before the emperor could speak, Wei Zheng stood up again and said in a rambling voice: "Your Majesty, Chen Wanfu is the general of Jiangyuan Dao. That's right. According to the regulations of the imperial court, as long as the commander has completed the delivery of the military talisman seal at the Ministry of War, then There is no affiliation relationship between him and the general, how can the prince be blamed for this!

Besides, did Li Jing lead the troops without any accidents? From Zhang Baoxiang's false report on the military situation to the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun to plunder, has he been idle?Also, in Chang'an City, he indulged his family's children to compete with the people for profit. If it weren't for his meritorious service to the country and his flaws, the veterans would have taken the lead to join him. "

There are traces of Wei Zheng's words, and he directly refuted what the emperor said just now. He is different from Xiao Yu. The foundation of standing in the court.

"Xuan Cheng, I'm teaching my son a lesson. It has nothing to do with being in charge or not. Don't make a mistake." Li Shimin bit the word "intentionally" very seriously, and his expression was extremely serious.

After seeing the emperor's performance, Fang Xuanling's mind flashed, and then he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The old minister thinks that His Majesty's decision is correct, the post station is also set up by the court, it can be regarded as the yamen of the Shangguan family, and the things inside Naturally, it also belongs to the imperial court.

Chen Wanfu is a general of Jiangyuan Dao, and he committed such a crime that violated the criminal law. The crown prince is the general manager. The old minister felt that the East Palace should pay the compensation according to the price, and then hand over Chen Wanfu to the crown prince. "

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not a big deal, let's continue talking about the new money!" Changsun Wuji, who came back to his senses, said with a smile, thinking about the money in his hand. .
