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

Chapter 8 Volume [-] Intense Debate on Wei Zheng

"The prince's statement is fallacious!" Li Chengqian's words aroused public outrage, and another person stood up, "Wei Chen Wei Zheng has something to say."

In fact, Wei Zheng didn't want to make trouble at this moment. Although he didn't approve of Li Chengqian's behavior, it didn't mean he agreed that the gentry could use it to attack the imperial power. unacceptable.

Besides, if a ten-year-old prince doesn't make any mistakes, wouldn't these ministers of civil and military affairs be useless?It’s not that everyone is good as a teacher, but you have to give us the opportunity to pass on our knowledge, experience, and knowledge, right?
But Li Chengqian's words just now really stimulated Wei Zheng, he didn't care so much, and immediately stood up.

Li Chengqian was also slightly taken aback when he saw the person who stood up and reported his family name.

This is Wei Zheng?Wei Dafan, who is known as the eternal mirror?
And as soon as Wei Zheng stood up, the previous censor took advantage of the situation and retreated.

Now that this one has come out, it has nothing to do with him, what he has to do has already been done.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Li Shimin was a little impatient when he saw Wei Zheng stand up. This guy is really annoying.

Just now, when he heard Li Chengqian's remarks, he was actually a little relieved. Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, just saying that Li Chengqian's eloquent rhetorical question was quite a bit of his demeanor back then.

There are also those generals who have almost the same idea as him.

As veterans in the battlefield, they liked Li Chengqian's hard-boiled style. There was no way, the big boss couldn't think of so many tricks.

Regardless of these, Wei Zheng turned around and looked at Li Chengqian, and said, "Your Highness, we know that there was a severe drought in the first year of Zhenguan, and in March of the following year, locust plagues spread throughout the pass, and thousands of miles of red land, and in the summer of the same year, there was another severe drought in the pass!

Throughout the third year of Zhenguan, there was still a severe drought in Guan, and at the same time, five prefectures were plagued by locusts again!In the fourth year of Zhenguan, there was also a severe drought and a plague of locusts! "

Every time he said a word, his tone became higher, until the end, he said desolately, "Since the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, this year can still be called good weather, but even so, there are many people who have no food to eat, and people who have no food and clothing!

Your Highness, thinking of this, have you ever regretted it? "

Wei Zheng didn't spray this time, he was just expounding a fact, but this fact silenced all the civil and military officials present.

The past few years have indeed been many disasters and hardships, and the hardships may be really incomprehensible to outsiders.

But Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to be reasonable, then I will slowly reason with you, and I am not afraid of being reasonable, I am afraid that you will spray me!
After bowing his hands and saluting, Li Chengqian said: "What Duke Wei said is true. Over the years, the Guochao has indeed been struggling, but there is only one thing that is unclear. I wonder if Duke Wei can explain it to me?"

"Please speak, Your Highness." Wei Zheng was very polite today.

But they are all like this.

"Duke Wei mentioned just now that the common people are hungry, and there are many people who have no food and clothing!" Li Chengqian was still a little nervous when confronting the famous ancient mirror in history for the first time, but since you, Wei Zheng, want to put on the airs of the elders Let me teach you, then don’t blame me, a future generation master, for teaching you a lesson, “Dare to ask Wei Gong, the people are hungry and have no food and clothing, but they have robbed them of their last grain alone, or they have robbed them alone. Their last shirt?"

At the end, Li Chengqian also came to the state, raised his voice, and said angrily, "Why do the princes of the court want to impose such evil deeds on Gu, what is the reason?"

For a moment, the hall was silent!
They didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so tough!

To be honest, there is no reason for natural and man-made disasters to be imposed on Li Chengqian, but that's not the reason.

A group of civil servants were so angry that they could only waver.

They were not angry that Li Chengqian was brewing wine in the East Palace, but they were worried that the prince of the Tang Dynasty did not take pity on the common people.

When Li 200 years later, this prince who doesn't care about the people comes to power, will the people in this world still have a good life?
Of course, the group of generals were enjoying themselves at this time. They didn't care about these things, but they thought that today's prince was good. Over the years, there were not many people who were tough on Wei Zheng, but none of them was like Li Chengqian.

As for Li Tai and Li Ke, the two sat there watching all this with a smile on their faces.

It's right, the prince and the civil servant are right!

As for Li Er, he glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise. In the past, Li Chengqian's weakness worried him the most, but today's performance surprised him a little.

Turning around to look at Wei Zheng, he was not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at Li Chengqian, just staring at him, without saying a word for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Zheng sighed and said, "No one said it was His Highness's fault, but why can't Your Highness worry about the people of Liming?

You know, how many suffering people can survive this cold winter with the food His Highness wasted on brewing wine, and this is not the most important..."

"Then I would like to ask, at this moment, among the hundred or ten ministers of the Tang Dynasty in the court, whose grain storehouses are not full of grain, and the censor who impeached Gu just now, half of the land in Fan Yang is there. In his Lu family's hands, the Lu family's granary is as full as the court hall.

Not to mention his Lu family, at this moment in the court, whose granary does not have food for three or two years, why do you only stare at Gu?
Or is it lonely and young, so you can let me decide? "

Li Chengqian didn't even give Wei Zheng a chance to finish his sentence. He knew what he wanted to say, and it was nothing more than the prince's wine making, which played a bad role in leading the way.

But he didn't want to delve into this issue at all. From the very beginning, every sentence he said was carefully thought out and deliberately arranged in order to elicit crucial questions.

However, the civil officials at this time didn't know why, and they never mentioned the root of the problem, so Li Chengqian added another fire.

On the high seat, Li Shimin looked at all this with interest, and said in his heart, it's not bad, at least Li Chengqian's performance today is good, which makes him very satisfied.

As an emperor, he didn't care about right or wrong, not to mention that Li Chengqian's brewing of wine was not wrong at all. What he cared about was how to deal with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty as a prince and heir.

As for Li Chengqian's mention of the food problem in everyone's family, this is not nonsense. Let's not talk about five families and seven families. The foundation of a thousand-year-old family is too deep. Let's talk about those upstarts who followed Li Shimin to conquer the world. Which one is not the master of Chang'an City? Landlord?
Can the family be short of food?

This is no nonsense.

For a while, the court was quiet again.

Because there is no way to refute this matter, who dares to jump out and say that my granary is so empty that the mice will starve to death, and they will probably be drowned by other people with saliva.

Even if it was Wei Zheng, he wouldn't dare to say that!

"Hmph." Seeing that no one spoke, Li Chengqian snorted coldly and made another stab, "It turns out that the way of a saint is only used to demand the royal family, and Yu Er and others seem to be useless.

That's all, what do you say about reading the books of sages? "

it is good!
On the high seat, Li Shimin was full of praise, this knife made up for it well!

He clenched his fists, very happy. These literati like to use the way of saints to curb the imperial power, but now they were generalized by Li Chengqian.

"Okay, well said!" At this moment, there was a shout of applause from the ranks of generals, unlike the emperor who only dared to applaud in his heart, this guy yelled out directly.
