Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 92 Early Prevention, Root Cause Management

"Chen Fangchen, pay homage to His Majesty!"

"Get up."

Fang Chen raised his head and looked at the civil and military personnel on both sides. There were four, no. 50 people, which was quite a lot.

"We have seen the Second Highness!"

This is Chai Shao, Changsun Wuji and others who met Fang Chen and began to greet him.

Of course, there were also those who had never seen Fang Chen, most of them were watching coldly, a young man who somehow won His Majesty's favor, dared to be called Second Highness.

"Yu'er, do you know why I asked Shubao to bring you here?"

"I don't know, please make it clear, Your Majesty!"

Typical of pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, Li Shimin's brows twitched, really wanting to slap this rebellious son, you have to make a joke about it.

"Bullshit!"

Unfortunately, someone spoke for Li Shimin first.

Fang Chen looked at that person strangely, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Who is this lord?"

"This old man is Shangshu You Pushe, Feng Deyi!"

The old man's face was slightly sick. It seemed that he had injured his body a few years ago, and he was afraid that his time would be short.

Fang Chen was delighted, isn't this the idiot holding both ends of the yin?On the one hand, he showed that he was a member of Qin Wangfu, and on the other hand, he secretly supported Li Jiancheng. After his death, the incident was violent, and even the posthumous title was taken back by Li Shimin.

"Dare to ask Mr. Feng, I don't know why the kid is messing around?"

Fang Chen didn't intend to be troublesome at first, after all, there are very few people he really cares about in Datang, even if they die cleanly, as long as the people he cares about are fine.

"You son, did you say that today there will be a severe drought, or even a plague of locusts?"

Fang Chen nodded, "Did you say that there are exceptions in the Tang Dynasty, so whoever is convicted?"

Feng Deyi's eyes were full of contempt, "You dare to spread rumors and disturb the hearts of the people, why can't you just say nonsense?"

The faces of Qin Qiong, Chai Shao and others have changed drastically. If Li Shimin hadn't spoken yet, they would have stepped forward to "reason" with Feng Deyi long ago.

Fang Chen sneered, "If something that hasn't happened yet becomes a rumor because of one of my guesses, then my lord, if I say that your concubine is having an affair with someone else, how will you treat it?"

"You! How dare you insult the Duke of this country like this!" Feng Deyi is the Duke of Secret who was conferred by Li Yuan.

A cold light shot out in Fang Chen's eyes, "Don't point at me, or I'll chop off your dead dog's limbs!"

The ministers made a fuss, and Li Shimin couldn't understand why Fang Chen was so different today from the past?Could it be that.
"If you can be convicted because of your words, Datang is really powerful."

Everyone could hear the cynicism in Fang Chen's words.

"Ignorant child, how dare you insult the important officials in the court like this?" Wen Yanbo, who Qin Qiong told Fang Chen before, stood up. Fang Chen was completely loyal to Qin Qiong. As the original princeling, how could he give up the opportunity to attack?

On the contrary, the real "important ministers" kept silent, waiting for Fang Chen's next words.

"If not, Mr. Feng and I are still embarrassed, what are you?"

"You!" Wen Yanbo did not expect that the other party would act so boldly.

He looked up at the superior, and Li Shimin coughed lightly, "Yu'er, speak up."

Wen Yanbo couldn't believe it.His Majesty!Didn't he see, sire?This kid has just humiliated a current prince!

"Your Highness, this is Lord Wen!" Qin Qiong laughed behind him.

Fang Chen's eyes narrowed, Li Shimin's body was slightly raised back, his heart was not good, this kid won't be hysterical right now?
"Master Wen? Oh, is that the old man you told me about, the wild dog that doesn't understand anything but barks?"

Qin Qiong shrank her neck, Second Highness, your mouth is too cruel!
"How dare you!" Wen Yanbo took two steps forward, Fang Chen was faster than him, and ran directly in front of him.

"Kill you like a chicken, get out of here!"

A kick kicked Wen Yanbo's knee, causing the opponent to lose his balance and fall, followed by another kick that flew out, causing Wen Yanbo to fall to the ground.

"This"

"His Majesty."

Some officials who are close to Wen Yanbo hurried forward to stop it, it was a bit messy, what is the situation of the Second Highness?Are you proud of being favored?Swearing at one person and beating another at the beginning, is it really easy to bully a hundred officials?

But when he looked up and took a closer look, another layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, Li Jing, and Li Ji were already standing behind him. On the side of the civil servants, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and other loyal officials turned a blind eye to Wen Feng.

"Yu'er, do you need a rest?"

Li Shimin was really worried, what should be done in case Fangchen developed hysteria at this moment, and at the same time, he was also a little irritable, why did he ask Qin Qiong to bring him here.

Fang Chen shook his head, bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, next time I'm talking, can you stop some mindless things from interrupting?"

"I'm ready!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Chen got up again, straightened his robes briefly, and his eyes were full of contempt, "Yes, I told Huo Guogong that there may be a drought and locust plague this year, but I never thought about it. For a moment, he actually asked me to come over!"

Li Shimin sat up straight. He understood what Fang Chen meant. There were hundreds of civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty, but they had to rely on a child in the end?
Some of the officials were dissatisfied, but unfortunately they did not dare to speak, because Fang Chen had just asked for an order and no one was allowed to interrupt.

"Why can't you be angry? Think I'm spreading rumors? Let me ask you, who did I tell? Huo Guogong!"

"The minister is here!" Chai Shao took two steps forward.

"When I told you, did I tell the third person?"

"Not yet!"

"When I told you, did you explain that this matter still needs to be judged by His Majesty?"

"Have!"

Fang Chen looked at Li Shimin again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when you encounter a problem, should you solve it, or arrest the person who raised the problem and beat him up?"

Li Shimin said without hesitation, "Solve the problem."

Fang Chen's tone changed, "But why, the minister I saw first beat up the person who asked the question?"

"Who dares!" Li Shimin also somewhat understood why Fang Chen was so angry. Fortunately, it wasn't because of hysteria.

Changsun Wuji came out with a wry smile, "Second Highness, I have invited you here to ask if you are really sure that this matter will happen, and there is no other intention."

Fang Chen sighed and said, "I also hope that what I said was a lie, but if this incident really happened, do you still have to find a solution after the fact? Can't you foresight and avoid similar incidents from happening again in the future? "

Wei Zheng came out, "Dare to ask Second Highness, how to foresight?"

Fang Chen looked at the civil servant, "Lord Wei, how many officials are there in the court?"

Although Wei Zheng didn't understand Fang Chen's meaning, he still answered truthfully: "There are 670 people in court, and there are countless officials from various states and governments."

"Then let me ask if any officials have proposed to take precautions and manage in advance? If there is a locust plague and a severe drought, how do you deal with it?"

disposal?Pile all the sins on the tallest one and let him sacrifice to heaven.

Wei Zheng didn't answer, and Fang Chen didn't pursue him too much. This old man is not bad, better than the two just now.

"Do you believe in evil gods? Do you offer sacrifices to boys? You have never thought about control and prevention. You only inform the world afterwards!
Punishment from heaven?You don't understand, but you don't study it!You won't, but you won't allow others to!Pray to heaven?Are you officials?Still a so-called Taoist! "

One sentence shocked, and at the end, Fang Chen almost roared.

All the officials trembled and fell to their knees at the same time, shouting to Li Shimin, "I dare not wait!"

At this moment, Li Shimin was filled with arrogance. Those officials who had their tails up in the sky in the past, actually have today?
"Dare to ask Your Highness, how to prevent it? How to cure it?"

The brave man got up and asked, he didn't believe that Fang Chen really had a way!
Fang Chen's laughter became colder, "Haha, you are an official, you ask me how to prevent it? How to cure it? Do you want me to do things for you?"

The man held back and knelt down again.

"When an official doesn't know civil affairs, doesn't understand people's interests, and doesn't work for democracy, is he a fool?"

"I don't agree with you!"

"When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell the chaff!"

The merchants were lowly, and Fang Chen even asked them to sell the dross they didn't like at all, which was almost equivalent to stepping on their faces on the ground.

"Chen, don't accept it!"

"Not convinced? Then let me ask you again, do you have a way to fight the drought and locust plague?"

"This"

"The flood is coming, do you want the people to kneel down and beg God for forgiveness? Or evacuate the crowd first to ensure everyone's safety?"

"minister"

"Dilong turned around, should you stabilize the hearts of the people and save the buried people? Or kneel at the side and mourn for those who might not die?"

The generals are a little ashamed at the moment, who would have thought about this, they just put more focus on power, civil servants look down on each other!
"You are reading books of sages and sages, and you are taking the road of being an official, but you have never considered what an official is! Right?"

Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "Yu'er, in your opinion, how should this official be?"

"Ask a question, solve a problem, and when all the problems can be solved, he will be an official, the master of the blue sky in the hearts of the people!"

Everyone trembled again, Master Qingtian?Is this official?
Li Shimin asked again: "Is this drought or locust plague?"

"Collect water from rivers, build reservoirs, open gates in times of drought, and fight floods in times of floods! As for locust plagues? It tastes sweet, pungent, and warm in nature. It can invigorate the spleen and eliminate food, relieve wind and convulsions, relieve cough and asthma, and dredge collaterals. You can understand this sentence." ever heard of it?"

Li Shimin was a little confused, so "This is not medicine, you mean locusts can be used as medicine?"

"Your Majesty, some medicines are still edible! If the quantity is enough, it is better than meat of the same weight!"

"Snapped!"

Li Shimin slapped the dragon case angrily, "Good! Very good! But why did I only understand today?"

All the officials knelt down and dared not speak.

"Yu'er, go back to the palace first, your mother is still waiting for you."

Put on a smile and let Fang Chen leave first, Fang Chen bowed slightly to the crowd, turned his head and left.

Li Shimin's face became gloomy, and he asked Changsun Wuji: "Did you remember everything that Yu'er said?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and smiled wryly, "I don't know how to praise you, old minister."

Qin Qiong came out and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, I think that Wen Yanbo and Feng Deyi have lost their virtue!"

Li Jing and other generals came out at the same time, "I reconsider!"

Feng Deyi and Wen Yanbo fell to the ground, no one around them dared to help them.

Li Shimin waved his hand, "I won't kill you. Come on, demote Wen Yanbo and Feng Deyi to the third class, and expel them from Chang'an!"

This is more ruthless than killing, because Fang Chen has already shown his fangs. In the general group, countless people are willing to exchange their heads for Fang Chen's trust.

As Earl of Qin, His Majesty personally entrusts the Tiger Talisman of the King of Qin.It is very likely that he will be the leader of the generals in the future, and what's more, he has already guessed Fang Chen's true identity.

There are also records in the history books that Princess Pingyang broke into Qi Wangfu once because of Li Shimin!
