Ji Tang

Chapter 600: The prince manages politics!

In early April, the people of Chang'an opened their doors as usual and prepared for a new day of life. If nothing unexpected happened, this day should be an ordinary day.

'boom'

'boom'

'boom'

When the bells rang from the palace, everyone didn't take it seriously at first, but when the fourth bell rang, everyone looked in the direction of the palace in surprise.

"The bell rings nine, this is"

The aborigines of Chang'an are all shocked when they hear the nine bells ringing.

"The Emperor collapsed"

A sad voice resounded throughout the world, spreading in all directions.

"The Emperor collapsed?"

When Pei Ji heard the news, he fell backwards
No matter whether they were dignitaries or ordinary people, no matter what they thought before after learning that the Supreme Emperor passed away, at this moment, they all felt the weight in their hearts.

Li Yuan had been suppressed by Yang Guang for the first half of his life, and was even in danger of his life at any time.

In the second half of his life, he rebelled against Yang Guang, overthrew the Sui Dynasty, and established the Tang Dynasty.

Although in the later period, he played power among the princes, which led to his children killing each other, and he was even imprisoned in the harem.

But it cannot be denied that he was a generous man, and most of the generals and heroes who followed him met a happy death.

Death is like a lamp going out. No matter what grudges or grudges there are, they will be gone with the wind at this time.

The whole city was in pristine condition, singing and dancing and other happy events were banned for three months, and all state roads in the world were banned.

Li Shimin stood in front of Wude Hall and turned to look at the magnificent and majestic palace building.

The Tang Dynasty begins here, an era ends, and his era has begun.

"Father, please watch over my son from heaven. The Tang Dynasty was established in your hands, but it will become glorious in the hands of my son."

Li Jiancheng's face turned pale, and he looked at the hall where his white silk had been hung. He knew that a person who was very important to him was gone, gone forever.

He was cruel to Li Yuan, complained about him, and even had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

But by this time, no matter how great the hatred is, it should be gone.Although the fourth brother is dead, there is still a way to die.

He was supposed to die, but he was still alive and well. His family, wife and children were all well, and the Tang Dynasty was becoming more and more prosperous under the control of his second brother. What else could he not let go of?
Pingyang looked sad. His father was gone, and his only close relative was gone.

Although he was wrong, as a daughter, what right did she have to resent him?

When Li Yuande passed away, everyone had different feelings. Some were miserable, some were happy, and some were lonely and drunk.

However, there was no turmoil in the court, which was unexpected and reasonable.

Although there are still many veterans in the court, after Li Shimin's rule over the years, everyone in the court is surrounded by confidants. The military power is in control, and no one with ulterior motives can stir up trouble.

But what is surprising is that the emperor did not come to court for three whole days.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the ministers asked the emperor to express his condolences and govern the military and state affairs in accordance with his will, but the emperor refused.On the [-]th, Li Shimin issued an edict to let Prince Cheng Qian handle daily affairs in the East Palace.

Maybe it was a show, maybe he really wanted to keep his filial piety for the Supreme Emperor. After several confrontations between the ministers, they all ended in defeat.When Li Chengqian came to court, he sat on the seat specially set up for him next to the dragon throne. He looked at him with different expressions, either curious, pleased, or disdainful, but he faced it calmly.

Not everyone wants to see me sitting in this position, but since the third brother and the fourth brother expressed their stance, even if there are people who want to speculate, they can only do nothing!

Although he is in charge of government affairs, he is self-aware. This is not only a test for him, but also an opportunity for him. Whether he can make a difference depends on how he acts.

His face was expressionless and he nodded towards Chen Shou beside him.

Chen Shou understood and took a few steps forward and said loudly: "If there is something to do, we will start, if there is nothing to do, we will retreat!"

The hall, which was a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and they were all thinking about how to get along with the prince.

Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. It will take at least ten more years for the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne. They know what to do.

"Your Highness, the construction of the Emperor's mausoleum has been completed, but I would like to ask the Prince to take a look at the selection of the Emperor's posthumous titles and ministers."

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and nodded.

"Bring it up!"

Chen Shou heard this and went to Fang Xuanling. He handed the memorial to Li Chengqian.

"I already know it at this time, and will submit it to my father for a decision later."

Li Chengqian didn't read it at all, and casually put the memorial aside and said.

Because he knows that he has no control over this matter. No matter what, he is still a grandson. This is what his father should do. He just needs to submit it.

When the ministers saw what the prince had done, not only were they not dissatisfied, they were even more satisfied.

In their view, the prince's administration of government is just a test for the prince by your majesty. If the prince really thinks that he can replace your majesty, then he does not know how to advance or retreat!
Li Chengqian obviously knew this. No matter what the court officials said, he would take it first. Except for a few less important matters that were dealt with directly, other matters were suppressed first and waited for his father to make a decision!
Li Chengqian saw that the atmosphere was obviously soothing, and he could only smile bitterly in his heart!
When I think of Brother Song, I won’t think about this anymore!

"Your Majesty is in his prime. This is your Majesty's era, and now you can only wait. If you can't wait, you have to wait!"

"The most important thing for you now is to repair your books. As long as the "Zhenguan Ceremony" is completed, your position as prince will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

After going to court, Li Chengqian came to Wude Hall.

"Father, this is the memorial of today's courtiers. Please take a look at it!"

Li Chengqian first offered a stick of incense to the imperial grandfather Li Yuan, and then handed today's memorial to Li Shimin!
"Since I have asked you to manage the government, you have to make the decision. If there is no big deal, don't disturb me!"

After hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian said expressionlessly: "My son is young and there are many things that are not enough to deal with. Father, please don't embarrass me!"

"In addition, I am already too busy with the matter of repairing books, and I am really unable to handle the government affairs!"

Li Shimin opened his eyes and looked at Li Chengqian blankly, wanting to know if his words were sincere!
Li Chengqian lowered his head and said nothing, and Li Shimin didn't know whether to believe him or not for a moment!

"In that case, let's put it somewhere first. I'll deal with it later!"

In the end, Li Shimin let the prince go.Some things don’t need to be stated explicitly at all, as long as they’re not stupid, everyone knows it!
As Li Chengqian's reputation has grown in recent years, it would be a lie to say that he is not worried!

Although everyone did not say that he was not in the right position, and even the Supreme Emperor criticized him, he did what he did, and this was something that could not be changed!
But now it seems that Li Chengqian is doing a good job and knows what he can and cannot do.

This is very good. I am now in the prime of my life, and the prince can only lie dormant. This is my bottom line!
When he thought about repairing books, he felt satisfied for a moment. Ji Song did this well!

Find something for the prince to do, and don’t stare at that position all day long. Wait a hundred years from now, and that’s when you can show off your ambitions...
