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

Chapter 804 Volume Furious Li Er
Changle has thought more than once about what the future Ming Dynasty will look like.

She likes Ming Dynasty, not for any other reason, but because she has witnessed every bit of Ming Dynasty with her own eyes.

Even on the palace walls today, there are traces of her past struggles.

How could she not like it?
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was too unfamiliar to her.

She had lived in the palace since she was born, and she didn't even know the city of Chang'an.

In the Tang Dynasty, her sky was so big, and the world she saw was so big.

But it was different in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, she was undoubtedly free and could do whatever she wanted.

Only in the Ming Dynasty could she do this.

Therefore, she was thinking very seriously about the future of the Ming Dynasty.

That's how people are. The place you build yourself is the most fulfilling.

"Let's go out and take a look." Changle immediately became interested and said, "If we really want to compile a Ming Dynasty law that will benefit the country and the people, understanding the needs of the people is the most important thing."

After hearing what she said, Yao Xiaopang's eyes suddenly lit up. He had been driven crazy by these books during this period of time. How could he not want to go out and get some fresh air?

Soon, everyone left the Qingtian Yamen under the protection of Wang Jin.

Today, Sun Moon Mountain no longer has the prosperity it once had.

Of course, this is not a sign of decline, but rather the Ming Dynasty moved many of its workshops to the Six Cities on the Grassland from the very beginning.

As a capital city, economic development is naturally necessary, but not essential.

Li Chengqian had the opportunity to build Sun Moon Mountain into the political center of the Ming Dynasty from the very beginning.

Moreover, after eliminating the complicated workshops, the management of Sun and Moon Mountain became much smoother.

Especially for spies from other countries, it is even more difficult to hide in Sun and Moon Mountain.

……

At the same time, Siam.

While Changle was understanding the people's sentiments, Li Er was in high spirits.

There was no other reason. Just two hours ago, the King of Siam surrendered with his entire country.

It’s not that Siam didn’t resist, but under the ruthless iron hoof of the Tang Dynasty, all their resistance was in vain.

When their proud elephant troops were defeated, surrender became a matter of course.

"Let Duke E deal with Meng Tai's head." Looking at the head sent by Siam, Li Er said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the reason why our Tang Dynasty went south this time was just because Meng Tai didn't know etiquette. Since Duke E is the real victim, it is only natural to let Duke E deal with it."

Although everyone knows the reason why the Tang Dynasty moved south, no one will admit it.

So let Yuchi Jingde take the blame. Who asked him to be so popular in the first place?
However, when Fang Xuanling saw the head, he shook his head and said after a while: "This Meng Tai is indeed a character. Although he has no moral integrity, the Taifu under his rule is impeccable.

If this person were an official in the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely be a fatherly official who could protect the people."

Fang Xuanling had a very high opinion of Meng Tai.

When the army moved south, he followed Li Er and witnessed the simple customs of the people in Taifu.

Naturally, he attributed all the credit to Montai.

Of course, he did not just make this statement casually. He actually communicated with the people of Taifu before coming to this conclusion.

Wei Zheng shared the same view and said, "I remember your Highness said before that if a country is too weak and an individual is too strong, they will suffer.

At that time, I didn’t know what this meant, but when I saw Meng Tai, I understood it deeply. ”

When he said this, all the generals agreed with him.

Of course, there is a reason for their support. If a country wants to become stronger, it cannot be too weak militarily.

As for Li Er, he didn't take it seriously. What he hated most now was Wei Zheng.

This guy would occasionally mention what His Highness had said before. Li Er knew very well what he meant by doing this.

However, even though he was unhappy with the old guy, he couldn't do anything to him. After all, the old guy was an extremely important chess piece in his big game.

"I've always heard that Siam's land is fertile, and it's normal to have two crops a year. In some areas, you can even have three crops a year. Today, you all have nothing to do, why don't you go and take a look?"

Li Er didn't want to pay any attention to Wei Zheng. If you pay attention to this old guy, he will just take advantage of the situation to climb up.

"I have been fascinated by this for a long time." When Changsun Wuji heard Li Er's words, he immediately understood what he was planning and stood up immediately.

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

Isn't the most important reason why the Tang Dynasty sent its troops southward because it had its eyes on the fertile lands of Siam and other countries?
As they spoke, everyone left Li Er's temporary palace. Under the protection of the army, they walked only a few miles and saw a vast field.

Li Er had actually seen the land of Siam before, but it was just a casual glance on the road.

"Although Siam is not a strong country, it is indeed blessed by God. Such a large piece of fertile land is probably only found in the south of the Yangtze River in our Tang Dynasty." Li Er subconsciously bent down, kneaded the rice in the field, sighed, and said, "The grains are full, it is indeed a fertile land."

At this point, Li Er sighed again, "God is so unfair!
Our Great Tang has thousands of miles of fertile land, but it cannot feed its people. Small Siam is just a prefecture in our Great Tang, but it has such fertile land?
Previously, Li Ji submitted a memorial to the emperor, saying that in a small county granary in Siam, grain was piled up like a mountain. When they broke down the wall of the granary, they found that the grain inside was rotten!

What a waste, what a waste..."

The more Li Er spoke, the more upset he felt.

If the Tang Dynasty had so much grain, why did so many people starve to death in recent years?
"I have asked the people around here before." Fang Xuanling stood up at this time and said, "Those people have indeed proved that Siam can have two harvests a year.

However, considering that they have so much food that it is rotting in the granary, it is also a helpless move.

If we calculate based on Siam’s population and Siam’s food production, they won’t be able to eat it all…”

"It's true that a full man doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man, right?" Upon hearing this, a general immediately stood up and said.

They envied Siam, there was no doubt about that.

In this era, food is the real hard currency, and no one can use it.

Without food, everyone will starve.

"Your Majesty, there is urgent news from Chang'an." Just as Li Er was sighing at the unique advantages of Siam, a eunuch came running over in a hurry.

Li Er was a little confused when he saw this.

He still cares a lot about the situation in Chang'an.

No matter what, Chang'an is his base.

Even if he temporarily let Li Ke be the regent, he knew the purpose better than anyone else.

After taking the urgent report from the eunuch and taking a quick look at it, Li Er's expression immediately turned into anger.

"Bastard!" Li Er crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it to the ground.

Although the cultural relics ministers were curious about what happened in Chang'an, no one dared to step forward to pick up the thing.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became a little awkward.

Everyone could do nothing but stand there in a daze. As for Li Er, he was furious and didn't say anything for a long time.

It was unknown how long it had been, but perhaps Li Er felt that it was inappropriate to leave all his ministers here, so he said, "News came from Chang'an, saying that it was Prince Liang Li Yin who spread rumors..."

At this point, he couldn't continue. He pointed to the letter that he had crumpled up on the ground and said to the eunuch beside him, "Pick it up and show it to the ministers. See what that bastard has done."

As he spoke, he felt pain in his chest.

For him, he didn't mind his sons fighting with each other, but such fighting must be within certain rules.

Even when he was fighting with Li Jiancheng and others, his mother was never implicated.

In this age where filial piety is more important than anything else, Li Yin's actions were a violation of taboo.

Especially since Li Er came to power in an illegitimate way, how could he tolerate his son behaving like this?
If this gets out, he'll probably be known as a person with a crooked reputation.

As for why the news reached Li Chengqian, but Li Er was the last one to receive it, the reason is simple.

It is simply because the matter is of great importance. The Ming Dynasty only needs a guess to pass it back, but for the Tang Dynasty, there must be actual evidence before it can be reported to Li Er.

After reading the letter, everyone took a deep breath.

They also didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Li Yan would actually die.

They knew something about King Liang.

But no one expected that the insignificant figure among the kings in the past would choose to stand up at this time.

But everyone was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, King Liang, who could come up with such a vicious plan, should not have failed to realize that this would anger His Majesty, right?
Isn't it asking for trouble to do this?

Unable to figure out the reason, everyone looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Gentlemen, tell me how to deal with this bastard!" Li Er saw that everyone was beginning to think about it, so he said, "Now, his mother has just passed away, and this bastard has slandered his brother for murdering his mother. He deserves death!

All the sage books read over the years are better than what you read in a dog’s stomach!

If Concubine Yang knew about this, how could she die with a smile on her face? "

Li Er did not say a word about Li Yin's slander against Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

After all, Concubine Yang had been buried not long ago, and his son had done such a ridiculous thing. This was what Li Er could not accept the most.

He didn't even dare to think about what this bastard would do if he died one day.

"Prince Liang is still young after all. Perhaps the sudden death of Concubine Yang was a severe blow to him, causing him to do such a foolish thing." Changsun Wuji immediately stood up and said.

He couldn't blame Li Yin too much, at least not openly. After all, two of the people Li Yin framed were his nephews, and he couldn't make it too obvious.

Of course, the main reason is that no matter how hard Li Yin struggled, he was no match for Li Chengqian and his brothers, which is why he was willing to make excuses for them.

"Humph!" Li Er snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said, "How old is he? Can he still use his young age as an excuse?
When I was his age, I was already assisting my father in his battles!

Even Gao Ming, when he was this age, had already established a firm foothold in Chishuiyuan!

Even Ke'er was diligent in state affairs when he was this age. Why is it that he is considered young and ignorant when it comes to him?
For an ordinary family, it would be fine if they were young and ignorant, at most they would only harm their own family.

But as a prince, if he is still young and ignorant, he will kill many people!"

What he said was not wrong. The prince's young age and ignorance would implicate many people.

Apart from anything else, all the officials in the palace cannot escape blame.

At the mildest level, they would be dismissed from office and stripped of their titles; at the worst, their property would be confiscated and their entire family would be exterminated.

This kind of thing is actually not new in all dynasties.

After hearing what Li Er said, everyone was immediately filled with emotion.

However, they also knew that the officials in Prince Liang's Mansion were too young and too greedy.

At that moment, Ma Zhou stood up and said, "I am guilty."

It was he who recommended Li Yifu, and he was feeling a little uneasy at the moment.

However, this is also the consequence of his rapid rise to power. If he had really stayed in the court for a few more years, he would probably be speechless now.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you, my dear. After all, it was that bastard who had his own ambitions."

Li Er still values ​​Ma Zhou very much.

This is a benchmark for breaking the aristocratic family's monopoly on officialdom. How could he not value it?

Seeing that Ma Zhou was about to speak, Changsun Wuji gave him a look.

Changsun Wuji did not hesitate at all when it came to offering this favor.

"Pass the decree. The King of Liang has a good reputation and is promoted to the governor of Yizhou. You must take up the post immediately on the day you receive the decree!" Li Er issued the decree without any hesitation.

Of course, he couldn't blame Li Yin either. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. If such a thing were to spread, the reputation of the royal family would be the most damaged.

For him, this was just a matter of gnashing his teeth and swallowing it.

The ministers were not surprised to hear this.

Being exiled to Yizhou, far away from the central government of Chang'an, was also meant to cut off Li Yin's ideas.

This may be the best ending for Li Yin.

As for severely punishing Li Yin, this is impossible, and everyone knows it.

At this stage, it is impossible for Li Er to harm his own son unless that person is Li Chengqian.

"I obey your order." Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji immediately bowed and accepted the order.

For him, this decree was no pressure at all.

He did say a few words to excuse Li Yin, but they were just casual remarks.

If you really ask him to do anything for Li Yin, that's impossible.

However, everyone also realized that Li Er's attitude towards his sons was completely different now.

Moreover, Li Yin was the first to take office.

You know, no matter whether it was Li Ke or Li Tai, since Li Chengqian left Chang'an, no prince had taken office as the emperor.

Li Yin was a pioneer.

Of course, there are many people who have this idea.

But not many people actually say it out loud.

At that moment, everyone was waiting for Li Er, wanting to see what Li Er would say next.

What disappointed everyone was that Li Er had no mood to say anything at the moment.

He was actually angry and very dissatisfied with Li Yin's behavior...
