Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 985 Confidence!

It's a trivial matter for a new Jinshi to make a banquet, but it's just a stupid and rotten Confucian who studies and reads. After a little achievement, he wants to go further and soar into the sky.

The assessment of Jinshi is not only knowledge level, but also background investigation. With the continuous improvement of the imperial examination system over the years, scholars with obvious problems will pass the inspection of the Ministry of Rites.

When the imperial court selects scholars, they don't consider the high and low of birth, but they hate people who pretend to be gods and ghosts and sneak into the ranks of officials. There are not no such examples in the past, so the first ones to be dismissed are such people.

Since there is no one manipulating behind the scenes, Enke's examiners and the Ministry of Rituals are the ones responsible for this incident. If it wasn't for their negligence and failure to fulfill their obligations, such a shameful incident would not have happened.

The current crown prince is only one step away from the throne of the emperor, and the courtiers in the court treat him with the attitude of serving the new king. Now that something like this has happened, even if the crown prince did not say that he will pursue it, it is impossible to act as if nothing happened Pass.

Both Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang are responsible officials, and it is impossible to push this kind of thing out of the small ones, so they handed over the sign to the Mingde Hall early in the morning, and knelt outside to ask the prince to come down; did they go to the Xuanzheng Hall? , there are a lot of people talking, and things get serious, and the prince's face is even worse.

Ma Zhou is the order of the Zhongshu, and Chu Suiliang is the assistant minister of the school. Both of them are high-ranking and important ministers. It is too indecent to ask them to kneel outside the hall. Henglian can only bite the bullet and go to the back hall to invite the insiders The officer went to wake up the prince.

Because it was still early and he drank too much last night, Li Chengqian naturally slept a little deeper. The two important ministers knelt there again, and there was no time to change their clothes. called in.

"You two lovers, you must be empty when you come so early. Just in time, I haven't eaten yet. Eat together, eat together. Nothing in this world is more important than filling your stomach." Then, Li Chengqian gave Henglian another order, asking him to call Li Xiang out to eat with him.

The breakfast in the East Palace is very simple, two dishes of side dishes, one meat and one vegetable, rice porridge and noodle cakes, and some pickles. The prince’s breakfast is so simple, which is unique among the royal families of all dynasties. Of course, Ma Zhou and the others know the prince Frugal, but so is the grandson, which really surprised them.

"His Royal Highness, we have fixed bones and grown flesh, but the grandson is still young, so don't be so harsh!" Ma Zhou and Li Chengqian are close, so naturally they don't have so many scruples.

"Prince Bin, you are from a poor family, and you have lived a poor life since you were a child. Even such a simple meal, I am afraid you can't afford it! If you don't have the honor, you can ignore it, but now it's different. , he needs to know that every porridge and meal are hard to come by.”

"When I was a young boy, I accompanied the Great General in the Northern Expedition. At that time, the national power of the Tang Dynasty was very different from what it is now. When I crossed the Yin Mountains, I was not discovered by the enemy's scouts. My brothers did not dare to make a fire. They ate snow when they were thirsty, and gnawed on stones when they were hungry. The same hard pot helmet, you have to hug each other to keep warm when you sleep!"

"Many brothers died of freezing and starvation, or fell into the mountain stream with no bones left. All the generals in the East Palace have come here, and Gu is no exception. There are no princes and generals there. Who can predict whether the next one will be me? !"

"In their generation, there should be no chance to experience this. I can only teach him to be thrifty. I hope he can become a king who defends the city. He will reform with the people and the guilty. Then the world will be peaceful! Your Majesty and Even if Gu is a bit of infamy in the past, it's nothing!"

Li Chengqian's words are not only aimed at Ma Zhou and Chu Suiliang, but also at other courtiers in other dynasties. The Tang Dynasty is a country rising in troubled times. The emperor and him can only fight and build at the same time. Only in this way can the country's society be guaranteed. of stability.

Once this start has been made, neither the emperor nor he can easily stop. Moreover, the enemy is not only external, but also internal. It is impossible to change because of a few literati.

Both the emperor and him have experienced the test of war, both are hard bones made of iron, and they have a sense of propriety. They will not exhaust the national power in a flash of enthusiasm. The courtiers don't have to worry too much about this.

What's more, the Tang Dynasty is now clean and prosperous, with stable prices, people's lives are rich, taxes are reduced every year, and the population is also growing. There is no so-called crisis of prosperity.

The villain, the emperor did it with him. When Li Xiang grows up and can do things in the future, the national policy can be gradually relaxed. This good man will let him, the future prince and emperor, do it, so everyone can rest assured.

"His Royal Highness, the ministers are not here to question the state policy, on the contrary, the ministers are here to plead guilty. Gao Gong was selected by the ministers. He did such a thing, and the ministers are all guilty. Not only does your highness not blame, I even told my confidantes, the ministers are inexplicably grateful!"

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, Chu Suiliang quickly took over the words: "Your Highness, one ruler has one ruler's policy of governance. Your Majesty and you have laid a good foundation for our prosperous Tang Dynasty. When the grandson ascends the throne in the future, the country will be safe and peaceful. Yonggu. A little gossip, ministers, etc., must do their best wherever they can, so as not to make the emperor worry about it."

When Chu Suiliang said this, his heart was so excited that his hand holding the chopsticks trembled a little.When Gao Gong's incident happened, he was really afraid that the prince would take it to heart, and with these words at the bottom, he could finally let go of his hanging heart.

As for the national policy, Chu Suiliang thought there was nothing wrong with it. He also came from the troubled times and witnessed the rise of the Tang Dynasty from the ruins. Without a strong monarch, how could he manage the complicated people and the chaotic environment.

"Gu is also a father, and he also knows how to think about future generations. If the country is weakened and poor, what good is it for Gu, isn't it!
People outside, how can they know how much effort Gu has exhausted for Datang.Look, how many gray hairs Gu has before he is 30 years old.You can go and tell them, don’t rush everything, just take your time! "

"Don't talk about Gao Gong, teach him a lesson, suffer a little, and know how difficult it is to maintain the unity of the country; Father Jun, being able to tolerate people is the first step. When you come back from hard labor last night, Jinshi's If you return your identity to him, Gu will not make it difficult for you guys to sit on the teacher's door."

If Ma Tuesday and the others were important ministers, the two of them knelt outside the Mingde Hall early in the morning, and Li Chengqian would give some relief whatever he said, otherwise, once word spread to the court, someone would definitely say that the crown prince treated the important ministers of the country harshly, and punished them severely for minor offenses. That would be bad.

"By the way, Chu Qing, doctor Yinqing Guanglu, has been around for some years. It's time to make a move. It's better to be promoted to doctor Jinzi Guanglu. The rest will take your time. It's just a matter of these two years." , Li Chengqian said with a smile while wiping his hands.

Literati, literati can be offended, but not too hard. This is not a question of fear or not, but the attitude of the emperor. It is always right to respect the literary and virtuous.It will be a matter of time before Chu Suiliang takes the position. This is a favor, so why not do it!
