Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 305

For these economic, military, and people's livelihood issues, Li Chengqian plans to formulate a ten-year plan first.

After lunch, Li Chengqian took a nap and started working.

"Everyone, this is the memorial to you from King Pu Li Tai." An eunuch trotted in.

Li Chengqian was very curious, what memorial did Li Tai send?Congratulations to him for becoming the emperor. Given the grievances between him and Li Tai, it is impossible. It is best for them to stay away from each other forever.

Originally, Li Chengqian planned to abolish Li Tai's throne, relegate him to common people, and exile him again.

But Li Tai has always kept himself safe, never done anything out of the ordinary, and he couldn't find any suitable excuses.

After all, people in this era pay attention to the relationship between heaven and man, and learn from famous people. For example, when the earthquake happened in Hedong a few months ago, people took it as a warning from God.

It was because he, the emperor, had a lack of virtue, God used this method to warn him not to do anything immoral and frivolous.

Because of this warning from heaven, some ministers even suggested that he should issue an imperial edict to sin against himself, perform sacrifices, and pray for forgiveness from heaven.

This is not bullshit!It is unreasonable to blame him, the emperor, for the occurrence of natural disasters.

As for the edict of guilt and sacrifice, Li Chengqian would not do it.

It is really unreasonable to depose King Li Taipu without sufficient reasons, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree.

"Submit it!" Li Chengqian said, no matter what, let's have a look.

Wang Quan immediately stepped forward to take the memorial, turned around and handed it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took the memorial and opened it. It turned out that it was Li Tai who asked Li Chengqian to allow him to open a government office and set up staff.

After seeing it, Li Chengqian originally planned to reject Li Tai's request, took the opportunity to make things difficult for Li Tai, and demoted him, or even directly deprived him of the prince, and demoted him to a commoner again.

But after thinking about it, it would not be of much benefit to him to do so. It would be better to rely on Li Tai's visit to get a wave of prestige, improve his prestige and the status in the hearts of the people.

"Go and invite Taiwei Changsun Wuji, Zhongshuling Chu Suiliang, Shangshu Zuopushe Li Ji, servant Yu Zhining, and official minister Xu Jingzong to the Hall of Liangyi to discuss matters." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" An eunuch took the order to retreat.

Soon Changsun Wuji and others came one after another. After saluting Li Chengqian, they sat down on the left and right.

"I have just received an invitation from King Pu Li Tai, who asked me to allow him to open a government office and staff, and I plan to agree to his request."

"After all, no matter what, Li Tai is also the brother of my mother and compatriots. Although he has made mistakes, he has also been punished. Now I plan to forgive him. What do you think?" Li Chengqian asked.

Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others remained silent. They had to consider the emperor's mind before they could make the best judgment.

"Your Majesty! I object, and I think it's inappropriate!" Xu Jingzong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly stood up and saluted.

As Li Chengqian's opponent in the past, Li Tai was an enemy, and it would be the best of humanity not to execute him, how could he be allowed to establish a government and build an aide.

As a man of the emperor, Xu Jingzong would never allow Li Tai to have any chance to revive and shake the foundation of the emperor.

Even if there is only a slight possibility, Xu Jingzong, as a minister who eats the emperor's salary and worries about the emperor, must kill this threat in the cradle.

"Why did Xu Aiqing object?" Li Chengqian asked knowingly.

"In the past, King Pu Li Tai had no respect for his elders, and even more so he wanted to seize the heir..." Xu Jingzong gave a lot of reasons, and even brought the matter of seizing the heir to the table.

Xu Jingzong expressed his worries and possible harm, such as if Li Tai opened a government office and set up staff, if he harbored evil intentions and rebelled, etc.

In a word, Li Tai can't be given a chance to stand up. It's better to use him this time to find an excuse, saying that he has plotted against him, cut off Li Tai's title, demoted him to a commoner again, and exiled him to a farther place. Don't let him have any thoughts.

"Xu Aiqing's words are not unreasonable, but after all, Li Tai and I are blood relatives, how can I bear to depose his prince, if the former emperor knows, how will I explain it?" Li Chengqian said.

If Xu Jingzong could give a reasonable excuse, he would immediately issue an edict to abolish Li Tai's prince, exile him to Chaozhou, and let him fend for himself.

Xu Jingzong racked his brains in his mind, and when he was thinking of countermeasures, Li Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty! What Xu Shangshu said is not unreasonable, but King Pu and His Majesty are close relatives after all. If King Pu doesn't have any If he makes a mistake, His Majesty will deprive him of his title, fearing that he will be ridiculed by the world."

"My minister proposes to reject King Pu's request and reprimand him, and leave the rest unchanged!"

"The old minister seconded the proposal!" After Li Ji finished speaking, Changsun Wuji saluted.

Although he didn't agree with Li Tai's invitation, he also didn't agree with Xu Jingzong's suggestion. No matter what, Li Tai was his nephew, even if his uncle didn't like him.

"Senior minister!" Chu Suiliang saluted, and he still agreed with Li Ji on this topic.

It would be detrimental to the emperor's reputation to deprive Li Tai of his title without reason.

"Second minister!" Yu Zhining also came out and saluted, he was just a fool, he would blow whichever side he blows.

Changsun Wuji and the others have expressed their views, and Yu Zhining will naturally follow them to express their views. Now he does not seek meritorious service, but seeks to be innocent.

So, now it's a one-to-four situation, if Xu Jingzong can't come up with a suitable reason to convince Changsun Wuji and Li Ji.

As for Li Tai's disposal, we can only do as Li Ji said.

Li Chengqian was very dissatisfied with Yu Zhining's attitude. When he was still the crown prince, this Hundan often confronted him in the name of direct admonition with Zhang Xuansu and Kong Yingda.

At that time, Yu Zhining was not merciful, and his attitude was very tough, which is not what he looks like now.

If Hegan Chengji, a good-for-nothing and rebellious boy, was not sent to assassinate him, the grass on Yu Zhining's grave would have grown taller!
That good-for-nothing Hegan Chengji never succeeded in his affairs, and failed in his two assassinations. Apart from betraying his master, he couldn't accomplish anything.

With Yu Zhining's ability, what qualifications does he have to sit in the position of servant and become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty? He is simply a vegetarian.

Li Chengqian already had the intention of dismissing Yu Zhining, but it's not the time right now, and he will be dealt with in a while.

Right now, we still need to deal with Li Tai's problem.

In the end, Xu Jingzong still didn't think of a suitable reason to depose Li Tai, so everyone asked for the original sentence.

In the end, Li Chengqian did not accept their suggestion, but agreed to Li Tai's request and allowed him to open a mansion to recruit staff.

If you want to destroy a person, you must first make him crazy.
