The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 220 Li Shimin's plan
Li Shimin seemed to be enlightened, and many fragmentary ideas were strung together at this moment, and they suddenly became connected, and many problems before had clear ideas.

But he didn't show it, but said calmly: "The idea is good, but have you ever considered the consequences?"

Chen Jingke said: "The elders of my family just think about it when they have nothing to do, and they haven't perfected it."

"I also accidentally heard about it once and then forgot it. If it weren't for you, the governor of the world, I wouldn't even remember it."

"As for the consequences, there is nothing perfect in the world. Any policy has advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on how to choose."

"Besides, I'm just telling you this plan. How to do it is something you need to consider, and it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing him push two-five-six, Li Shimin became angry, and said: "Your parents didn't teach you that you should be responsible for your words and deeds?"

Chen Jingke said indifferently: "Teach me, but what does that have to do with me as a child? Tong Yanwuji, wait a few years for me to grow up before talking about responsible matters."

"Haha..." Changsun Wugou laughed again, and urged: "Erlang, do you want to beat him up?"

Xiao Sizi happened to sneak in from the outside, and immediately became unhappy when he heard this, and ran over and said, "Don't bully brother."

Li Shimin stretched out his arms to stop her and picked her up, nodded her little nose, and said:

"It's all water poured out by married girls. Before you get married, your elbows are thrown out."

"Hmph." Xiao Si said angrily, "Just don't bully brother."

Li Shimin suddenly felt that the little padded jacket was leaking everywhere, and he was unwilling to be angry with his daughter, so he could only give Chen Jingke a vicious look.

Chen Jingke shrank his neck, and quickly took out Qin Xing's theory and said, "Then what, this is Qin Xing's summary of lessons written by me, take time to read it."

"Hmph." Li Shimin snorted coldly, as if letting him go.

Sitting here for a while, seeing that the palace door was about to be locked in the late afternoon, Chen Jingke got up and left.

After he left, Changsun Wugou asked with a solemn expression: "Erlang is not really planning to seal the country overseas, is he?"

"The Chen family is arrogant, and they always consider issues from the standpoint of Chinese civilization. I admire them very much, but I can't do like them."

"Secretization is indeed the best way for Chinese civilization, but for Datang, the pros and cons are unpredictable."

Li Shimin put his little son down and said: "Go outside and find the nanny and the others to play with. I have something to tell your mother."

"En." Xiao Sizi ran out obediently, and closed the door behind her.

Then Li Shimin said: "If I can find a better way than this, I will naturally not adopt the method of enfeoffment."

The eldest grandson Wugou said helplessly: "Have you ever thought about how many of these feudal states will be loyal to the court after a hundred years? At that time, all of them will be disasters."

Li Shimin asked back: "The Zhou Dynasty was divided into feudal states, how much loyalty were those feudal states to the Emperor Zhou?"

"The Zhou Dynasty still lasted for 800 years, and it would have lasted even longer if King You of Zhou hadn't been fatuous and dishonest."

Changsun Wugou argued: "Times have changed and the world has changed, the world today is not the same as it was then, how can we generalize it."

Li Shimin did not refute, but said: "Well, let's talk about the present."

"The gentry, the nobles of Guanlong, and the emerging military aristocrats, these are the three major groups of the Tang Dynasty divided by Jing Ke. Which one of them is not a de facto prince?"

"Whenever I make any decision, I must first consider their feelings... The gentry blatantly despise the royal family, so what can we do?"

"Now that the court is strong, they can't stay in bed. Once the court is weak, they will jump out and make trouble."

"You should know how the former Sui Dynasty perished. If there are descendants of disdain among our descendants, they can turn the Tang Dynasty into the second former Sui Dynasty."

The eldest grandson Wugou frowned and said: "But even if there are no nobles and nobles, if there are descendants of disdain, wouldn't they be powerless as well?"

Li Shimin sighed: "If the family we leave behind is strong enough, even if they prodigal, they can lose a few more years."

The eldest grandson Wugou stopped talking immediately, and after thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the truth.

Li Shimin continued: "Sooner or later, the truth of the world will be known to the world, so what if we don't divide it?"

"Will the dignitaries of the gentry honestly abide by the court's decrees? If they secretly send out family members to hide in a corner and develop secretly, what can we do?"

"Rather than this, it's better to distribute the entrustment publicly, so that all the issues are on the table, and the court can still get the name of righteousness."

"This also involves the way of checks and balances. The vassal states check each other, and the imperial court only needs to mediate."

"Whoever dares to be disobedient will order all the vassal states to collectively conquer, destroy their clans and carve up their land, and who else would dare to rebel so easily?"

"Even if the imperial court is weak and unable to launch a conquest against the vassal state, they will not dare to move around at will because of mutual restraint."

"When they break the checks and balances and launch an annexation war, it will take at least decades or even longer to get the results."

"During this period, as long as one of our children and grandchildren emerges, we can seize the opportunity to complete ZTE."

"Take a ten thousand step back, if our descendants are incompetent and cause chaos in the country, we can also borrow troops from the vassal state to quell it."

"It's a big deal to repeat the old events of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Our children and grandchildren will be able to continue the country for a longer period of time as puppets."

Speaking of this, Changsun Wugou was really powerless to refute, and could only say: "Maybe, this has never happened before, and I don't know what to do."

Li Shimin grabbed her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I know it well. Even if the enfeoffment will not be implemented now, it will have to wait until at least 20 years later."

"During this period, I will lay down a large enough family business for our children and grandchildren."

"North to the North Sea, east to the sea, south to the Indochina Peninsula, and west to Ningyuan (Fergana Basin, the area where Suiye City is located), all will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"In places other than this, they will be entrusted to the vassal states according to the situation."

"Previously, Jing Ke proposed to use the powerful officials in Guanlong and the emerging military aristocrats to attack the entrenched gentry forces and allow the court to take back more power."

"His proposal looks very good, but it is actually not feasible. There are conflicts between the gentry and the Guanlong dignitaries, but they are also inextricably linked."

"This is especially true for the emerging military nobles. Not to mention, Cheng Zhijie continued to marry a daughter of the Cui family. If I hadn't married Qinghe to Cheng Huailiang in advance, he would have married a woman from a noble family."

"I asked them to compile the clan annals. It has been five years since the sixth year of Zhenguan and there has been no progress. Why? I just don't want to offend the gentry."

"So it's okay to let them compete with the gentry for power to a certain extent, but it's simply impossible to fight to the death. That's why I haven't taken any action."

"But it's different now. No family can be indifferent to the vassal state. At that time, I can drive them to eliminate the gentry and control all the right to speak in the hands of the court."

"Then enfeoff them one by one, and the court will have no more constraints. It will truly realize what Jing Ke said, and the power will be monopolized and the gang will be arbitrary."

The eldest grandson Wugou was also a little moved by what he said, if he could really realize what he planned, then the enfeoffment would not be out of the question.

But she still has concerns: "These people have been sealed away, who will the court rely on to govern the country? Where can we find so many officials?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Naturally, we will not seal everyone away at once, but seal them in batches in a planned way, so as to ensure that there will be a group of dignitaries in the court's hands at any time."

"In terms of civil servant selection, we can follow Jing Ke's words and establish an academic and political system for selection through imperial examinations, while the military merit system will continuously select new dignitaries for the court."

"In the future, officials from powerful backgrounds will form mutual restraints with those officials from imperial examinations to prevent one family from becoming dominant."

"This is all my plan for the future Tang Dynasty, Guanyin servant girl, I hope you will support me as before."

Seeing that he has made up his mind, Changsun Wugou no longer objected, saying: "I will always support you, I just hope you act prudently and don't rush for success."

Li Shimin said happily: "With you here, I can't be in a hurry even if I want to. Just like that bastard Chen Jingke slandered in private, I am a kite in the sky, and you are the thread that holds me down."

"Because of the constraints of the wires, the kite can fly higher and farther without losing its way."

The eldest grandson Wugou also held his hand backhand, and said emotionally: "I am willing to be the thread behind you forever, and accompany you for the rest of your life."

……

Chen Jingke didn't run around when he came out of the palace, and returned to Zixiao Temple with his bodyguards.

The idea of ​​enfeoffment was not his idea, but the operation of the protagonist in a novel called "Wen Tang" that he had read in his previous life.

Li Shimin's appointment as the governor of the world, he recalled this idea, and after perfecting it, he took it out.

As for whether Li Shimin will adopt it, he really doesn't care.It was a blessing for the Chinese civilization to seal that, and there was no other way if he was not sealed.

So at this time, he was relaxed and without any pressure.As for whether Li Shimin will be under pressure, who cares about him, isn't it normal for an emperor to be under pressure?

All the way back to Zixiao Temple, I planned to go to pay Sun Simiao a greeting before it was completely dark, and then go back to my yard to rest, so as to save the trouble of running back and forth.

But before he reached Sun Simiao's courtyard, he found many people gathered around the entrance of the small courtyard next door.

He knew right away that a seriously ill patient had been sent over for rescue.Because this small courtyard is used as Sun Simiao's medical room, pharmacy, laboratory equipment, wards and the like are all here.

With so many people around after all this time, there must be some sick people.

He squeezed in quickly, wanting to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Entering the hospital, I got a very bad news from Daotong at the door of the ward: dystocia, the mother didn't have much strength when it was delivered, and now she doesn't even have the strength to shout.

　I have suffered from cervical spondylosis in the past two days, it is too uncomfortable, and the smell of plaster is so strong that I can hardly think.

　　Even sitting for a day can't write a few words.

　　I started coding at one o'clock in the afternoon, and only wrote [-] words by midnight.Really tormented.
