Ji Tang

Chapter 640 The monarch and minister are single-minded

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng who had put himself in such a lowly position and was silent for a long time. He did not expect that Wei Zheng would go so far for Ji Song's few decrees.

"Xuancheng, why are you doing this? Are those agreements really so important?"

Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, you are not a member of the lower class, and you do not understand what those people do. But I understand that when those people abuse the people, they have no bottom line at all."

"Several of Ji Song's ministers also heard about it, and Paulin's child was full of praise for it, saying that he must promote this matter to the world."

People don't understand those big principles, they only care about their own interests.

In the past, the aristocratic families took whatever they wanted from the common people, and there was no bottom line at all.But since the "township agreement" was established, no one dared to go too far.

Because that is not a requirement at all, but it is how it should be, but now these things are put on the surface.

Not all aristocratic families are evil people. If a family is big enough, there will be a few people who will corrupt the family tradition.

Among the families that have existed on this land for hundreds or thousands of years, doesn’t that one have a glorious history?Or after the Confucian clan, or after famous officials, or after the pre-Qin nobles.

Don’t they understand the principle of fishing in dry lakes?

No, they understand, even better than anyone else!

But sometimes we just can't help ourselves, and hiding from each other becomes an agreed upon thing.

Which aristocratic family doesn't have a strict family tradition nowadays?If they were all evildoers, it would be impossible for them to exist until now.

Now, Ji Song has set a bottom line for them.Whether it was for the family or because they had to do it, they all had concerns.

Because once they cross the line, they will become a means for the people of the world and even other aristocratic families to attack them.

Don't underestimate these things, it might end up with your family being ruined.

This is equivalent to putting a lock on them and a moral condemnation!
If you want a good reputation, you must abide by these agreements. Over time, these agreements will form a bottom line that everyone knows and is willing to maintain.

Li Shimin was in a daze after hearing this. He didn't expect that things could still be done like this?
When Ji Song went south, he said he wanted to find a way out for the people. He originally thought he would make the people rich, but now it seems that is not entirely the case.

Because no matter how wealthy the family is, the iron ore is there. No matter who manages it, it is the common people who have to mine it, and it is the common people who will benefit.

This did not touch the interests of the people, but only harmed the interests of the aristocratic families.

But now it seems that it is a bit taken for granted. Yes, oneself or the court can gain temporary benefits, and the people of Xuanzhou can also get money.

But the 'township agreement' formed between Ji Song and the aristocratic family became a joke.

Your court or emperor can break their word, so why do you expect us to abide by some bullshit agreement?
Thinking of this, he broke into a cold sweat.Yes, he was scared. He had never been so scared even when he attacked an army of hundreds of thousands.

He almost became the chief culprit of harming the people.

Once the 'township covenant' is recognized by the people of the world, it will greatly reduce the unscrupulous style of the previous aristocratic families, giving them some concerns and not daring to act recklessly!

Because everyone in the world is watching, once they become a existence that everyone wants to beat, these families will be uprooted by other aristocratic families without the need for the court or themselves to take action.

This kind of black sheep cannot be tolerated in the family and must be eradicated completely.

Although it cannot be completely eliminated, it can at least limit this matter to the greatest extent. Ji Song has done a great job!
"Your Majesty, this is just the beginning. We cannot hesitate any longer on this matter. Once our attitude on the Xuanzhou matter is unclear, more people will not dare to enter."

"They will even sabotage the matter in order for the 'Xiang Pact' to spread to their territory."

No one wants to have a knife falling on their head at any time, and the knife is still held in the hands of a bunch of mud-legged people. How can they be willing to do so?

Ji Song relied on his absolute authority in Xuanzhou to promote this matter. Once it was blocked by the court at the beginning, it would be impossible to promote it at all.Now the conflict between the Xuanzhou family and the people has been alleviated to a certain extent, and the people have benefited, but this benefit is just a drop in the bucket to the family's income and is not worth mentioning.

But in the eyes of the people, their lives are much better than before.

The family has also seen the benefits, that is, the work efficiency has improved a lot, and the total amount is even less than before.

What used to be a month's work can now be done in half a month or even ten days.

After this, at least half a month's worth of expenses are left. As long as you are not stupid, you know what to choose!

In this way, everyone is good and I am good, and it is no longer the tense situation before.

"Xuanling, you should write now and issue an order to commend Ji Song, all officials in Xuanzhou, including those Xuanzhou aristocratic families who have contributed."

"Choose three of them to come to Chang'an. I want to meet them in person."

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was even a little overjoyed.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After saying that, he began to draft the imperial edict, and soon a colorful imperial edict appeared in Li Shimin's hand.

'Snapped! '

It was stamped with the imperial seal and the emperor's seal before being handed over to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was also unambiguous and directly stamped the seal of the three provinces, and Du Ruhui was also unambiguous.

Wei Zheng took out a small seal from somewhere and was about to stamp it, but Fang Xuanling hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, my Lord Wei, what kind of private seal did you put on the imperial edict?"

Wei Zheng held his head high and said stubbornly: "This is a matter of benefiting the world. How can I, Wei Zheng, be left out?"

After saying that, he covered the lower left corner.

Li Shimin was so angry that it was too late to stop him.

"How about I also seal the general's seal?"

Everyone turned to look at Yuchi Gong, making his scalp tingle.

"Your Majesty, I think it's okay. Not only General Yuchi will have his seal sealed, but also all dignitaries above marquis and senior officials above the third rank will have his seal sealed." Du Ruhui said thoughtfully.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and asked puzzledly: "Why is this?"

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Once this happens, then this imperial decree will not only be an imperial decree, but also the determination of our monarch and his ministers."

"And this is the general trend. Anyone who dares to refuse will be an enemy of all noble ministers. Unless they no longer want to live, if this imperial edict continues, whoever dares to block it will be crushed into powder."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they understood what Du Ruhui meant and burst into laughter.

"Okay, I will let them seal it now. We, the monarch and the ministers, are of one mind, let's see who dares to act arrogantly!"

He seemed to have returned to the feeling of fighting on the battlefield. With their monarch and ministers working together, there was no battle that they could not win.I didn’t expect this scene to happen again now!
Everyone looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

That bastard Ji Song has already reached this point, so they will add a fire to the oil and make him burn completely.

We have to see when the time comes, who dares to stand up and oppose?
