Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 85 The New Sima Liu Rengui

After Liu Rengui came out from Zhongshu Province, he was led to the East Palace by special personnel.On the way, Liu Rengui kept sorting out his knowledge of Li Chengqian.Liu Rengui had met Li Chengqian. The last time Li Shimin returned to the capital from his east tour, Liu Rengui was standing in the ranks of officials from the Eastern Capital.

At that time, he was full of curiosity about this young man who independently suppressed the locust plague in 27 states.So I asked the people around me about Li Chengqian's past intentionally or unintentionally.From disaster relief in Huazhou, beheading the governor, to handicraft workshops in Weinan and Lantian.

From the establishment of the Ministry of Integrity to the last locust plague in Guanzhong.All of them show Li Chengqian's talent in governing the country.What surprised Liu Rengui the most was that during the counterattack in Minzhou, Li Chengqian, the current prince, actually came to the front line to command the battle.And held the pass at an absolute disadvantage, thus directly changing the situation on the Western Front.And today he is going to speak to this person who has left countless mysteries in his heart.

"My minister Liu Rengui sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh, Liu Qing is here, no courtesy, a seat. Heng Lian will show Master Liu some tea." Li Chengqian put down the pen in his hand and said.

"Presumably, before Liu Qing came, Fang Xiang had already told you the purpose of transferring to Chang'an."

Liu Rengui took the teacup from Heng Lian's hand very politely, and then replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, yes, the Prime Minister has already told the officials."

Well, after Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, he said: "The land is limited, but the sea is boundless. I heard that in the coastal areas, many people go to the land to be the people, and to go to the sea to become bandits can be said to be a disaster. In recent years, the court has received many The playbook about pirate plunder, but it has always been unable to operate because of the country's weakness."

"This time, the palace is ordered to supervise the construction of the Hangzhou Navy not only to solve this problem, but also to establish a military supply line at sea, which can not only exchange for the food we urgently need in the Tang Dynasty. It can also use silk, fine wine, porcelain, and tea. Exchange gold, silver, etc. with overseas countries."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he stared at Liu Rengui, he wanted to see if this person could withstand the temptation.Because he knew that no matter how hard the bones were, the money soaked in white flowers every day would have to be completely melted.

Liu Rengui touched his chin, his brows were full of worry. "Your Highness, it is our duty to appease the sea and border and protect the people of one side. If the country is weak, it is understandable to exchange some things for food and shepherd the people. But the silk, fine wine, gold, and silver that His Highness mentioned are trade."

Li Chengqian raised his brows, and then said with a smile: "I remember Liu Qing's word is regular. Regular, you are right. I want to expand the maritime silk road while establishing a maritime supply line." .First controlled by the imperial court and then gradually opened to the public.”

Liu Rengui was taken aback when he heard this. All dynasties have focused on sealing off sea areas, firstly to prevent the loss of population and wealth, and secondly for defense.

From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present Tang Dynasty, the main enemies of the Central Plains Dynasty were the nomadic peoples in the north.

As for the person in front of him, Jieli in the north has not yet been resolved, so is it too urgent to start the sea?Besides, who can guarantee that there will not be a South Vietnamese in it.Even if not, who can withstand the temptation of money.

"Your Highness, here, the profit here is not small. Who can stand being soaked in the pile of silver every day? Besides, what if someone wants to learn from Zhao Tuozhi's past?"

Haha, Li Chengqian laughed heartily, he was waiting for this sentence, Liu Rengui can say it by himself, it can be seen that he is upright, such a person is reassuring to use.

"Regular, I have already thought about what you are talking about. How did my Li family win the world? It is the righteousness of the king and the hearts of the people in the world.

The world is home to those who are virtuous, if someone follows to separate the regime and rebel, it will be that my father and son have lost their virtue in governing the country. "

"As for the corruption you mentioned, this is also the reason why I hired you. After the Prime Minister recommended you, I read your file in the Ministry of Officials.

You are from Weishi County, Bianzhou. You were born in a commoner family.Since becoming an official, he has been engaged in xingming and has achieved remarkable achievements.Ben Gong believes that you can restrain the soldiers of the Navy. "

Li Chengqian's praise made Liu Rengui, who had been a low-level official for many years, embarrassed.Repeatedly claiming that he just did his duty as a minister and dared not take credit for it.

"You're right, it's a rare thing." Li Chengqian stood up and walked in front of Liu Rengui.

"I know that many people call the prime minister the emperor to stabilize the world. But in their hearts, they think that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. If there is half of the profit, he will dare to take risks. If there is double the profit, he will Dare to trample on all human laws. Of course, if the profit is tripled, he would dare to commit any crime, even risking his decapitation and not caring at all.

I want you to remember what you say.Keep in mind your original heart and be diligent in the affairs of the king. When the time comes, the Li family will not hesitate to reward, and it will be no problem to be named a marquis and a prime minister. "

It can be said that Li Chengqian acted both hard and soft, and Liu Rengui also understood that his Sima was a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the sailors.Anyone who violated the laws of the king and had evil intentions was the target of his punishment. As for himself, whether it was taught by etiquette or to repay the kindness of knowledge, he could only choose to be this lonely minister.

But if Li Chengqian's plan really succeeds, it will naturally be a good thing for the country and the people.Didn't he just want to do more for the people when he came out to be an official? As for himself, it doesn't matter.

Liu Rengui saluted Li Chengqian. "Your Highness, don't worry, benevolence is for the country and the people, so naturally I will do my best."

"Don't worry, I think my reputation is pretty good, and I won't let you go. As long as Yu Guoyi, no matter what happens, I will make the decision for you."

Li Chengqian patted Liu Rengui on the shoulder with a smile and said.Li Chengqian really didn't lie about this, regardless of the background of the staff of the East Palace, as long as you are capable enough, Li Chengqian will use it exceptionally.

For example, Wang Zhi, the new left servant of the Ministry of Integrity, is also from a commoner background. Although he has worked hard for more than ten years, he has not been promoted.But since he was appreciated by Li Chengqian, he went from being a state official to a purple-robed official in just three years.I am envious of the children of those aristocratic families.

And Luo Cheng, who was just transferred to the Sixteenth Guards Army with Xie Yingdeng, was originally a scapegoat, but Li Chengqian boldly used it regardless of his old evils, and now he is also a general from the third rank.

Coming out of the Eastern Palace, Liu Rengui shivered after the wind blew past his sweat-soaked skirt, and turned his head to look at the Eastern Palace.In the play just now, he saw ambition in Li Chengqian's eyes.

This made him a little worried that such ambition might make him a king like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who expanded his territory.It can also make him ruin his ancestor's foundation like Yang Guang.Where does the future of the Tang Dynasty go?Alas, after a long sigh, Liu Rengui walked out of the palace.
