This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Facing Wang Dequan, Li Er naturally felt no pressure. He simply dealt with it, and Li Er dismissed Wang Dequan.

After Wang Dequan left, Li Er said with a smile: "Okay, Daming's matter has been solved, let's continue talking about Chang Ke's problem."

But who still cares about Chang Ke at this moment?

A few years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, envoys were sent to the Tang Dynasty for the first time. Who knows what Li Chengqian was behind this?
Moreover, now that Li Ke has just started to improve, there is a reaction over there. Is it such a coincidence?

At this juncture, they were more concerned about Li Chengqian's purpose of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty. As for Chang Ke, it was still the future after all, and Li Chengqian's threat was right now.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty this time?" At this moment, Zheng Xu came out.

Hearing this, Li Er smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't know then. Maybe the Ming Dynasty has suppressed the civil strife and its national strength has become three points stronger, so it sent people specifically to praise its merits."

Li Er really didn't know the purpose of the Ming Dynasty sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty. They never imagined that it was just the unwillingness of the Ming Dynasty officials to be lonely.

"Then who is the leader of the Ming Dynasty mission?" someone else asked.

Speaking of this, Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji jokingly, and then said: "Speaking of which, you all know Changsun Chong, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty."

"Chang Sun Chong?" Li Xiaogong was also surprised when he heard this, "That boy has become the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty? Wait, Duke of Qi, how old is your father Sun Chong this year?"

"Twenty-one." Changsun Wuji was also speechless. (This age is not to be taken seriously. It is calculated. It was 633 when Changle married Changsun Chong. Changle was twelve years old at that time. Changsun Chong should be about five years older than Changle at that time, which is the middle value.)
"Good guy, at the age of 21 you are as good as me. This guy has a bright future!" Li Xiaogong was also speechless for a while.

Don’t forget, he is also the Minister of Rites!
Putting aside the title, in terms of official position alone, he and Changsun Chong are really evenly matched!
Looking closely at history, there are really not many people at his age who have achieved this kind of achievement. Only a few people, who is not a person who will be famous throughout the ages?

For example, which one of Gan Luo and Huo Qubing is not shining brightly in history?
So when Li Xiaogong said that he had a bright future, it was really not a mockery.

But now Changsun Wuji was embarrassed. Not only him, but also many people present were embarrassed.

After all, no one present is younger than Chang Sun Chong, but the problem is, there are not many people with higher official positions than Chang Sun Chong...

For a moment, everyone felt frustrated as if they had lived like a dog for decades.

But they also realized that Ming Dynasty was indeed a place where miracles could be born.

Thinking like this, everyone looked at Changsun Wuji, their eyes full of envy, thinking in their hearts, this old boy still has a unique vision. With Changsun Chong's achievements, his Changsun family will finally rise.

Who is Changsun Wuji? He has lived for a long time and still has some palaces. Even though he is secretly happy in his heart, his face is unmoved. He has a feeling of being surrounded by thunder but facing the wind of a flat lake: "Boy's things." I don't know very well. Even though he is in a high position now, he still has to accept the teachings of his elders.

By the way, weren't we talking about Chang Ke? Why did we get involved with that brat? Come on, let's continue. If you have any other thoughts about Chang Ke, you might as well mention them. "

Speaking of this, while they were discussing the Ming Dynasty issue, someone had already thought of it. At this moment, someone stood up and said: "Others, we don't have any objections, but there are so many students who failed the imperial examination and the palace examination? Is it too early to let them go directly to work?

In fact, some people are not incompetent, but they just performed abnormally and performed poorly for a while. If they are like this, let them start working early, get entangled with trivial matters, and may neglect their studies. In the long run, I am afraid it will mislead many students and let them lose their ability. Students who should be talented as prime ministers and assistants have wasted their lives in positions such as subordinate officials.

For the country, it does more harm than good. "

I have to say, these guys really didn’t get it for free.

At that moment, they really found a loophole. Although the Ming Dynasty sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty was an immediate threat, the Changke system could not be relaxed.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Fang Xuanling again, and they also wanted to see how the former Prime Minister would respond.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he nodded hesitantly and said, "This is indeed a problem. If this continues, many people will be missed." At this point, Fang Xuanling changed the subject and continued. , "But this problem is not unsolvable, just add one more thing."

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling suspiciously.

They are also curious about Fang Xuanling's solution. Of course, they are not surprised by this. As the former prime minister, he has no quick wit at all, so why is he standing here?
Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Whether it is a failure in the government examination or the palace examination, students who have entered the official career are not allowed to participate in future imperial examinations.

In this way, those who are determined to take the imperial examination will naturally not easily enter the officialdom. And students who feel that their hope is slim and give up the imperial examination have nothing to regret. "

He had already thought about this.

He even left a loophole for these people, and there was more than one loophole. Of course, they only found one, and Fang Xuanling wouldn't remind him at this moment.

By the time he finished speaking, all the noble officials were speechless.

Okay, there’s nothing more to say, there’s no way to refute it.

Of course, this is a bit of progress for them, at least it puts a restriction on those guys.

After everyone started a series of discussions on Chang Ke's issue, it finally came to an end.

But at this moment, officials from Li Ke's group stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have my own merits."

This person's name is Quan Wanji, and he was originally the chief historian of the Prince of Shu. This time Li Er promoted a large number of officials from Li Ke's line, and Quan Wanji was among them. Now Quan Wanji has just been promoted to Minister Zuocheng. To put it bluntly, he is Zaifu's deputy.

Speaking of this person, it is worth mentioning.

This guy is upright and a typical old-school guy.

If everything develops according to the original trajectory of history, in a few years, when Li You can't think of a rebellion, it will be the time for Quan Wanji to die.

Of course, he is still the long history of the Shu Palace. Speaking of which, the reason why he supports Li Ke is not because he has any political needs.

This old guy is similar to Xiao Yu in that he has an upright character, but unlike Xiao Yu, this old guy is a stubborn old-schooler, and he can't accept Li Chengqian's behavior.

I feel that Li Chengqian's actions subverted Han family ethics.

Moreover, if Li Chengqian returned to Chang'an, there would be a river of blood. This was not what he wanted to see. For various reasons, he was willing to help Li Ke give it a try.

You can simply think that he just thinks that if Li Ke can inherit the great treasure in the future, the world will live in peace.

Li Er was not surprised by Quan Wanji's move. He nodded and signaled Quan Wanji to speak.

Quan Wanji did not hesitate and said directly: "Now the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful. However, as the great Tang Dynasty, the capital of our country, the streets of the Ming Dynasty are full of people! How ironic?
Your Majesty, this is the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an!How can one's eyes be full of the Ming Dynasty!

If a foreign mission comes and asks us without knowing the details, how should we respond? "

After he finished speaking, there was silence.

Even Li Er's face darkened for a moment.

It wasn't that he had any objections to Quan Wanji, but Quan Wanji's words hurt his lungs.

Yes, wherever you look at Chang'an City, it is full of Ming Dynasty. Is he willing to do so?

The ministers were also silent at this moment. They knew that this guy had found an excellent entry point.

Everyone is still convinced of this person. There is no other way, and anything they can't do is worthy of envy.

"According to Aiqing's words, what should we do?" Li Er asked after a long while.

Quan Wanji immediately said: "Revise the Tang Law. No matter who is doing business in the Tang Dynasty, they are not allowed to use the name of their country. Come to the Tang Dynasty to make money, and you want to make it famous. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Revise Tang Law?" Everyone was stunned.

No, is such a small thing really worth such a huge effort?

But no one objected, because everyone saw that Li Er's face was extremely ugly.If anyone jumped out at this moment, they would probably become Li Er's target. No one would be so stupid.

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

……

At this moment, officials from Li Ke's group came forward one after another to second their opinions.

What they want to do is very simple, reduce Li Chengqian's influence in Datang.

Even though Li Chengqian was in the Tang Dynasty, the words "Made in the Ming Dynasty" have won him enough support from the people over the years.

If it continues like this, they are still playing nonsense and just surrender.

There is a saying that is true, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
"Revising the laws of the Tang Dynasty is not a trivial matter." Li Er did not agree immediately, but looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Qi Guogong, what do you think?"

What do I think?I see with my fucking eyes!
Changsun Wuji complained secretly in his heart. He knew that Li Er was testing, or asking him to express his position.

He is now the head of the officials and represents the will of the officials. If they guys don't agree, the current ability of Li Ke's family is not enough to accomplish this.

Of course, this is where Quan Wanji and others are smart.

They knew that the person who really wanted to contain Li Chengqian was actually Li Er, and the person who hated the word "Da Ming" the most was also Li Er, so after they finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and the next thing was left to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is feasible." What can Changsun Wuji say?He still had to follow Li Er's wishes and continued immediately, "Quan Youcheng is right. Chang'an is now full of Ming Dynasties. For our Tang Dynasty, it is indeed a bit inappropriate. If we force them to change their names, it will also damage the style of our great country. In this case, the easiest way is to revise the Tang Code again."

He had no choice. Of course, he couldn't have a choice. As the current prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the starting point for thinking about problems must be the Tang Dynasty, and the rest would not work.

Not only him, but also all the officials in the dynasty, no matter who they support, even if they support Li Chengqian, they have no choice on this issue.

The position must be clear and firm.

This is also the shrewdness of Quan Wanji and others.

Li Er nodded: "What Duke Qi said is very agreeable to my heart. In that case, who does Duke Qi think is suitable for revising the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Changsun Wuji didn't even think much and said directly, "After all, His Highness the King of Shu..."

After a series of flattery, Li Ke felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Changsun Wuji had no intention of stopping, Li Ke quickly stood up and said: "The Duke of Qi is ridiculously complimentary. How can I be so virtuous..."

"Your Highness is humble." Changsun Wuji didn't care. He didn't have any good intentions towards Li Ke and his family at the moment. Since these people are digging holes for them, why can't he just say something disgusting to you?
Li Er didn't mind this.

He never cares about the fighting between his ministers. No matter how you fight, as long as it doesn't delay the business.

"In that case, Ke'er, the important task of rebuilding the Tang Dynasty law will be left to you. It just so happens that Quan Youcheng is the long history of your house. With his help, I can rest assured."

At this point, the matter is settled.

Li Ke could only accept the order and thank him.

At noon, the court meeting finally ended, and everyone dispersed.

As soon as he left the palace, Kong Yingda pestered Wei Zheng and said, "Old Wei, is this King of Shu unwilling to be lonely?"

"How normal is this?" Wei Zheng smiled when he heard this and said, "Which change of throne has ever been peaceful? Let them do it?"

Wei Zheng is now also trapped in self-doubt.

He strongly supported Li Chengqian back then, but now, he has some doubts about his decision back then.

This is also the reason why he has kept a low profile in recent years.

This is the case for people like them. When they have self-doubt, if they cannot get out of this dead end on their own, they will always struggle in this dead end.

Whether it's good or bad, I can't tell.

On the other side, Changsun Wuji and Li Ke were together. On the way, Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Highness is a good trick. Today has really opened my eyes."

What he said was not just a compliment, but he meant it sincerely.

After all, even he couldn't find fault with Quan Wanji's hand today.

"Uncle, you are right." Li Ke immediately smiled and said, "This was all done by Chang Shi because he was worried about the Ming Dynasty. How can this kid have that ability?

Moreover, my uncle doesn’t think it’s unsightly to see the Ming Dynasty in Chang’an City. After all, this is the capital of the Tang Dynasty! "

"That's true." Changsun Wuji also smiled and said, "It can be seen that His Majesty also attaches great importance to this matter. Your Highness must be careful."

Li Ke wanted to dig a hole for him, but he was obviously stunned, but he didn't care.

Although it was not what he wanted to get to this point, he really had no choice.

At this moment, he somewhat understood his father's mentality when he launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution.

When he saw Ma Zhou, he was about to say hello, but after Ma Zhou bowed to him and saluted, he left without stopping.

Li Ke was still a little sluggish, but someone on the side laughed and said: "Ma Shangshu is like this. He is in a hurry every day, as if there is endless work to be done. Your Highness doesn't need to worry about it."

Everyone in the court knew about Ma Zhou, and some even thought that this person should not be named Ma. It would be better to have a surname of Niu. He would be like a farm cow every day, and he would have a hand in every detail.

Among the six ministers, he is the busiest.

"It doesn't matter." Li Ke waved his hand and didn't say much.

In fact, he still has some thoughts about this person. As a person promoted by Li Er himself, how could he not pay more attention to him.

As we all know, Li Er may not be good at anything, but you can't say that he has poor vision.

In addition, Ma Zhou has no foundation, so it would be great if he could be brought over.

"Stop talking about this, let the news spread today." Li Ke said with a smile, no longer entangled in Ma Zhou's problem.

"Isn't it too early today?" someone said, "We just have a draft. If we really want to implement it, I'm afraid it won't be that fast. If so, the other party may make plans early."

"Do you think they won't know if we don't spread the news?" Li Ke shook his head and said, "They are in charge of a country! Can't you receive this little news?"

In fact, he knew very well that he couldn't hide it. In this case, he might as well do it openly.

Now that he has decided, Li Ke is actually not that timid.

Fighting for that position, becoming greedy for that position, this is not a shameful thing.

As a prince, it would be shameful if he didn't want to be the emperor!
