Ji Tang

"What Prime Minister Chu said is really inappropriate!" As if he felt something was wrong with what the scholar said, Xie Lian said again.

"What do you think of Prime Minister Xie?" Chu Suiliang couldn't bear it anymore. I can't afford to offend your son-in-law, but you came to tease me. Are you not looking down on me too much?

Xie Lian was indifferent to his expression and said: "It's not a high opinion, it's just a commonplace!"

So he ignored it and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty, merit is merit and fault is fault, how can the merits and demerits be equal to each other? If this is the case, everyone has made a big mistake, but as long as they make up for it in time, they can be forgiven. What more needs to be done?" What does Datang Law do?"

"You are using strong words to make excuses!" Chu Suiliang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant, it's just..."

"There is no such thing as a mistake. A mistake is a mistake. Does Prime Minister Chu want to treat the laws of the Tang Dynasty as child's play?" Xie Lian said angrily.

"Fart, Xie Lian."

"presumptuous!"

slap~

Li Chengqian angrily slapped the case, and said angrily: "How can it be unbecoming for prime ministers to attack each other and rape each other in the court?"

Xie Lian and Chu Suiliang heard this and quickly apologized: "I know I was wrong, please punish me!"

Li Chengqian waved his sleeves impatiently and said impatiently: "Now we are discussing how to deal with the incident of the offending officials. You don't want to involve other people. I just ask, what should they do?"

"I think that since there is a law of the Tang Dynasty as a basis, there is no need to ask other people and just deal with it according to the law!" Xie Lian said.

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. After all, there are many officials involved. Once all are dealt with, the court will be shaken and the country will be turbulent. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

After Chu Suiliang finished speaking, many officials echoed in unison.

"I think what Prime Minister Xie said is right. If that's the case, then what else can we do with the Law of the Tang Dynasty? As an official, we should abide by the law and not break it knowingly. I think we should be severely punished!"

"I second the proposal!"

Come on, the court is divided into two factions, each holding its own opinion, and no one can say anything about the other. In the end, everyone looks to the emperor. Since everyone cannot agree on the same opinion, only the emperor can make the decision.

Li Chengqian looked ugly, but he was quite happy in his heart. This is good. In the past, everyone was so kind and peaceful. How can this be done? It's good now. Isn't it my decision in the end?

Ji Song raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian slightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. As an emperor, it is right to divide his ministers. Because he is only a successor, not a founder, he does not have such great prestige to suppress all different opinions. However, differentiation is the best and fastest way to master government affairs, and it has been common in all dynasties.

But he also knows that this is likely to trigger party strife. Once a trend of treating people and doing things wrong is formed, and everything in the court is opposed for the sake of opposition, it will be a huge disaster!

But he was powerless to stop it. This was Li Chengqian's way of controlling the court. If he opposed it, it would inevitably leave a thorn in the local government's heart, and the gain would outweigh the loss!

Finally, Li Chengqian looked at Ji Song and said, "What does Duke Xie think?"

Ji Song shook his head: "As the head of Wuying Pavilion, I should not interfere in the affairs of the government. What I just said is beyond the rules. I will not participate in this matter. Your Majesty is just arbitrary!"

Li Chengqian was a little surprised when he heard Ji Song's words, but he didn't think much about it. He nodded and said: "In this case, based on your opinions, it is impossible to forgive everyone. Otherwise, where would the Law of the Tang Dynasty be? But after all, there are more people involved. so."

"Xingbu!"

"Chen is here!"

Zhang Liang, the Minister of Punishment, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"

"The Ministry of Punishments will determine the punishment based on the seriousness of the crime. Exile, demote, or dismissal. Come up with an equation and I will handle it as appropriate."

Zhang Liang glanced at the expressionless Ji Song. Although he was a little confused, he still nodded and said: "I accept the decree!"

Seeing that no one had anything to say, Li Chengqian stopped delaying and nodded to the servant beside him.

"Your Majesty has decreed to withdraw from the court!"

"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
-

Walking out of the palace, although the officials of the aristocratic family were still dissatisfied with this, they also knew that this was the best result that could be achieved. If the argument continued, His Majesty would be offended and something would happen.

Changsun Wuji frowned. He was not as relaxed as the others. Today he felt something strange and something was wrong!

When he saw Zhang Liang walking towards Ji Song's position, he suddenly realized that His Majesty did it on purpose!

Yes, it was intentional, causing officials from the two groups to argue with each other and then decide for themselves. He had a solemn look on his face, and he had to say that his nephew was a good man, using this method to control the court.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. If you operate it well, you can control the power. But if someone is not good and fights with the party, it will bring disaster to all directions!

Ji Song must have noticed it, but he didn't say anything, and he was afraid.

But at this time, he couldn't dissuade him. Not only could he not dissuade him, but he also had to cooperate with the emperor fully. If his uncle didn't help him, he would have no hope of gaining a foothold in the court.

But if this happens, the court will probably be lively in the future! ——

On the other side, Zhang Liang came to Ji Song and asked with some confusion: "That's it?"

He was ready to help, but Ji Song retreated? What's going on?

Ji Song smiled and said: "That's the end of this matter. Since His Majesty has made the decision, let's handle it accordingly. However, you have to find a comfortable place for them to be exiled when the time comes. Otherwise, wouldn't you be letting them down?" Your Majesty’s ‘good intentions’?”

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he saw that Ji Song had already walked away. Then he shook his head in a funny way and murmured: "A good place? That's a lot."

Ji Song didn't know Zhang Liang's reaction because he met someone he least wanted to see recently.

"You've been hiding pretty well these days, haven't you?"

Li Shimin and Changsun were wearing regular clothes, looking at Ji Song as if no one else was around, while Chen Shou snickered behind him!

"Your Majesty's words are serious, how can I avoid your Majesty? Isn't this a joke?" Ji Song quickly denied.

"Oh? So I was wrong? I thought that since I became the Supreme Emperor, I would no longer be able to control you!"

There is a black line on Ji Song's door. This is murder and heart-breaking. There is no good person in the royal family, and they all have a black heart.

"No way, I've been very busy recently, and I don't have time to ask you and my empress. I'll do it next time, I'll do it next time!"

"When will the next time be? Today? Tomorrow? Or are you just perfunctory?" The eldest grandson did not act like a mother in front of Ji Song. He was as mean as he wanted!

Ji Song: "."

"Okay, I don't know how smart your kid is? Come on, come with me for a walk!"

Chen Shou took over the little eunuch and pushed Ji Song forward. The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, but they just ignored Ji Song!

When he walked into a garden, Ji Song couldn't bear it any longer.

"What do you and your empress want to say?"

Li Shimin and Changsun looked at each other, suppressing a smile and said: "Hey, there are times when you are anxious? Are you impatient? Or are you feeling angry?"

"I'm not telling you that the majestic Duke Xi of the Tang Dynasty, the head of Wuying Pavilion, and a general who once commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, can't even handle the shitty things at home. How can I let you assist Cheng Qian? ?" But the eldest grandson finally understood something. He glared at Li Shimin angrily and said angrily: "You are a well-educated person, but there are not many people who are worry-free. How dare you tell others?"

Li Shimin paused and said harshly: "Humph, from what a woman sees, a real man stands between heaven and earth, how can he be so decadent for a trivial matter? It's so embarrassing!"

"Okay, okay, you are a man, and we are all villains, okay?"

The eldest grandson rolled his eyes and ignored him, and said to Ji Song: "I and Your Majesty have heard about your family affairs, so I won't say anything to persuade you. It is of no use to you. I just want to tell you that this child is older. It may be chilling to think that they have their own ideas, but this is also their choice. Since Xiaomao thinks that his man is better than his family, why should you be angry?''

"After all, she is young and energetic, and she has been spoiled by you since she was a child. Now that she has chosen, it will be up to them in the future, just let nature take its course!"

"Originally, I and Your Majesty should not say these words. After all, it is your family matter. But seeing that you are depressed, I decided to talk to you."

Ji Song sighed softly and thanked the two of them: "It makes Your Majesty and your Majesty worry. Our family is unfortunate. How could we..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Since it is her own choice, she must bear the consequences. As for what happens in the future, it depends on them!"

Being interrupted by these two people, he felt less depressed. He was just angry that he had worked so hard to raise him for decades, but he could not compare to the boy he had known for several years. For this reason, her mother was still complaining about her willfulness today. Being looked down upon by others!

"Hey, that's right. What a big deal. The kitten is also young. When he becomes a mother, he will know how difficult it is to be a parent. Naturally, he will understand your painstaking efforts."

Ji Song nodded, and the three of them ended this topic!

The three of them came to the small pavilion in the lake and sat down. Li Shimin said, "What do you think of Cheng Qian's performance in the court today?"

Ji Song was stunned, and when he saw the solemn look in Li Shimin's eyes, he suddenly understood, and said in a deep voice: "It was advantageous at that time!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, but then he understood what Ji Song meant. Was it beneficial at that time? In other words, the disaster lies in the future?

"Is there any way?"

"No, no solution!"

Li Shimin was silent. Of course he understood the consequences of doing so, but this was also a helpless choice. Cheng Qian doesn't have his prestige, nor his means, so he can only divide the court, so as to control the overall situation!

"Is there really no other way?"

Ji Song thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I really can't think of any other way. This is the inevitable course of a dynasty, unless a hero like your Majesty appears in the future."

"Hero?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly. How easy is it to create a hero?

In the pre-Qin period, the state of Qin had six generations of wise kings, but only one useless concubine ruined the country of Qin.

There were many wise emperors in the Western Han Dynasty, including Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and later Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun. But the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely ruined. Except for Emperor Guangwu, they were all mediocre people, and the government was controlled by relatives, aristocratic families, and eunuchs in turns.

"Oh, forget it, it depends on his luck. Since I have stepped back, I have to believe that Cheng Qian will do a good job. I have done what I should do, and the rest will be left to him!"

He originally had hope that Ji Song could break this sentence, but Ji Song was right, this was the general trend and there was nothing anyone could do about it!

But what he didn't know was that the system of later generations solved this problem perfectly. The leaders of each generation were killed from the bottom, and each one was a great figure in the world, but the Tang Dynasty couldn't imitate it!

As someone has said, the feudal dynasty can only solve the current problems of the feudal dynasty. The limitations of the times prevent them from breaking through the current vision, let alone solving the problem.

I don’t dare to make too big an attempt, otherwise no one knows what will happen. It may be better, but more likely it will be doomed!

The foundation determines the superstructure. Without the support of the bottom layer, any reform is like a loft in the sky, which will collapse at the slightest disturbance.

He doesn't dare and can't!

"By the way, how about Jue'er staying at your house?" Li Shimin suddenly thought of something and asked.

Li Jue?

But then I understood what he meant. He was trying to find out information!

I laughed secretly in my heart, saying that I was ignoring the government affairs, but weren't I still caring about the next generation?

"It's not bad. Maybe it's because I was holding back so much in the palace. I almost had a falling out in the palace in the first few days after I went to Xi'an. But I got a lot better after I went crazy. Now I'm receiving basic education at home. The teacher who taught him said He has a pure heart, is benevolent, and has the best talents!"

puff~

At first, Changsun and Li Shimin listened very seriously. When they heard the comments given by their husband, Changsun couldn't help laughing.

A pure heart? Doesn't this mean that you are heartless?

The qualifications of a superior person? Well, not bad!

Li Shimin said with a dark face: "Where is this gentleman from? I don't even know what to say!"

"You go back and change it quickly. What the hell, can he really evaluate the emperor's grandson? Panic!"

Ji Song ignored the angry Li Shimin and said, "Why do you need to get angry with your teacher? In fact, sometimes the authorities are blind to the beholder. Although what he said is a bit biased, it also shows his temper!"

"You are still young now. These things can be developed. As long as you have proper education, it is not difficult to become a talent! But temperament is innate and no one can change it."

"Isn't it good to have a kind heart?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, looking like I don't even bother to argue with you. Changsun suppressed his smile and said: "It's good to be kind. Your Majesty, you are the emperor immediately, and Cheng Qian is also a person who does not rub sand in his eyes."

"in this way."

At this point, Zhang Sun won't talk about it anymore, because it would be a bit over the top to talk about it any more.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said helplessly: "Since Qian Qian has very few heirs, there are only two children, and one of them died before he could grow up. Li Xiang is like that again, I have no choice!"

"You are not an outsider, so let me tell you straight away, can he be in a big position?"

Ji Song was silent for a long time, and then said solemnly: "I can't guarantee that he will become a great talent, but he will definitely not be bad, and other ministers don't know either!"

I thought Li Shimin would be disappointed, but he smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"

Three generations of Mingjun can lay the foundation for the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. He is not worried about Chengqian. Even if there is a problem, Ji Song will be there to guide him. The only uncertainty is the third generation.

It seems that his decision is right. He will leave Jue'er to Ji Song for training. With his understanding of Ji Song, he will definitely spare no effort to teach him. This is enough.

If even Ji Song can't do anything, then it's really over.

Fortunately, as long as the three generations of emperors are just loyal kings, but as long as they don't make any big mistakes in their lives, it will be considered a success. His dream of being an emperor for three generations has finally come true (end of chapter)
