Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

And under this kind of environment, it is estimated that there is only one person left to fight against Li You.

Grandson Wuji.

At this time, he can be said to be completely sacrificed!

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the court, the eldest grandson Wuji started to attack: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the minister has something to announce!"

Li You glanced at him with a half-smile but a sneer in his heart.

"Hehe, just keep on doing things, and soon you will pay ten times the price for what you have done during this time!"

On the surface, Li You still looked impartial and selfless: "Lord Zhangsun, please speak."

Zhangsun Wuji said coldly: "The effect of His Royal Highness's governance on corrupt officials during this period is obvious to all, but I think that there is still a major problem that has not yet been solved, that is, His Highness treats the symptoms rather than the root causes!"

"Huh..."

Li You narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why did the eldest grandson say this?"

"In these days, with the fall of corrupt officials one after another, a large number of important positions have become vacant, and even the operation of the imperial court has been affected! I think under such circumstances, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will not continue to rely on arresting people. Governing Corrupt Officials 5.4 Corrupt Officials, right?"

In fact, the words of Changsun Wuji are nonsense, because everyone knows that this is impossible for a long time, otherwise Datang will sooner or later lead to the subjugation of the country because no one is available!

However, Changsun Wuji also wanted to express this meaning, he continued: "So this kind of practice like His Royal Highness the King of Chu is considered unacceptable! This will not only greatly affect the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, but also completely fail to eradicate corrupt officials. There are endless phenomena of officials!"

After speaking, everyone understood what Changsun Wuji meant.

After all, this method of His Highness the King of Chu can only serve as a deterrent, but it will also seriously affect the operation of the court... That is to say, the eldest grandson Wuji is questioning the ability of His Royal Highness the King of Chu in a positive way!

Chapter 497 Li You's Reform!

The atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense.

Because what Changsun Wuji said is very reasonable, and he is now forcing Li You to question Li You face to face, either Li You chooses to stop arresting and attacking the Prince's faction, or Li You admits that his method has little effect and can do nothing about it.

No matter which one, it is a major blow to Li You, who has gradually established himself.

For a time, the attention of the civil and military people of the whole dynasty was focused on Li You.

"You mean, this method is only a temporary power, and it is difficult to cure at all, right?" Li You asked slowly.

"Correct!"

Zhangsun Wuji answered in a deep voice, looking at Li You with burning eyes.

"That's easy," Li You said casually, "If you want to prevent the root cause, you only need to reform!"

"what?!"

For a while, the court was in an uproar!

All the officials and officials widened their eyes and looked at Li You in horror.

What did His Royal Highness King Chu say just now?

It's as if... something very important was said lightly and skillfully!

"His Royal Highness King Chu, are you serious?" Fang Xuanling also asked in shock.

Li You smiled and said: "Of course, since ancient times, the starting point of corrupt officials has always been to seek personal gain with power. In other words, the current laws and regulations are not perfect, allowing them to take advantage of it!"

The moment Changsun Wuji heard this, his complexion quickly turned gloomy.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, do you mean that..."The Law of Zhenguan" edited by Chen has serious flaws!?"

"Zhenguan Law" is a new code edited by Changsun Wuji under the order of Li Shimin after entering the first year of Zhenguan, which is the current laws and regulations in the Tang Dynasty.

This is the highest effort of Changsun Wuji, but now Li You has slammed it as the fundamental reason for corrupt officials to take advantage of the loopholes at will, how can Changsun Wuji not be angry!

"Exactly!"

And Li You's answer is also decisive!

"His Royal Highness Chu's words are too arrogant...!"

Even Fang Xuanling looked unhappy, because he, like the eldest grandson Wuji, was also one of the editors-in-chief of "Zhenguan Law".

In his opinion... No, it should be said that in everyone's opinion, Li You, a mere teenage boy, even if he is talented in other aspects, can't speak madly in such a serious place as the law of a country!

"Is it maddening..." Li You smiled and said, "You will find out tomorrow."

"tomorrow!?"

Xiao Yu was shocked and asked incredulously, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu means that he intends to take out the entire contents of the reform in just one night!"

Between the words, it was even more angry.

Li You turned a blind eye to this, and said solemnly: "Today's "Zhenguan Law" is more than imperfect in the eyes of this king, it is simply incomplete! So how long does it take to repair a thing full of loopholes? time?"

As soon as Li You said this, all the officials and officials showed anger. This is really arrogant!

The law of governing the country is their specialty, and the laws they have spent their time revising feel no problem to use, but in Li You's eyes, they have become tattered things that can be repaired at will! ?

It really makes no sense!

"The words of Chu King Li You are too wild...!"

Zhangsun Wuji also felt a burst of anger in his chest, but immediately, he secretly smiled again.
