The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"That day when we were having dinner at Dr. Lu's house, Dr. Lu mentioned this matter." Li Fu continued, "So I knew about it. Out of curiosity, I wanted to ask, if the court really doesn't plan to use Xiao Xianggong, it just so happens that my farm is still short of a teacher. If Xiao Xianggong goes there, it will really save me a lot of trouble."

"Teacher? Your farm?" Li Shimin stared at Li Fu in disbelief: "Xiao Yu is a prime minister, you let him teach at your farm?"

"Dr. Lu said, Confucius said, there is no distinction between people in education." Li Fu said disapprovingly.

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, you really dare to think." Li Shimin was so angry that he laughed.

What is the court? What is the small farm in Jingyang County?

Xiao Yu, a man with the talent of a prime minister, an important minister of the country.

Go to a small farm to teach?

Is this looking down on Xiao Yu, or looking down on the court?

"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, second brother, give me a definite answer, Xiao Yu, do you still need it? After the Lantern Festival, Dr. Lu will go to live in the manor for a while. He has agreed with Xiao Xianggong to live there together. As for how long Xiao Xianggong will stay, it is uncertain." Li Fu said.

"I said, how can you get involved in this matter?" Li Shimin frowned and asked, "You know what happened in it, and you get involved?"

"Didn't Xiao Xianggong write a letter to his sister and ask Tang Jian to take it with him when he went to the grassland, and it was reported by someone? This is not a secret matter, and it has spread." Li Fu said.

"Well, so, what do you think?" Li Shimin said, "Who is his sister, do you know?"

"The queen of the former Sui Dynasty, Queen Xiao." Li Fu said, "This is also a well-known thing, and I am not ignorant to that extent."

"Since you know everything, do you still think there is nothing wrong with it?" Li Shimin said.

"What can happen? Nanliang has been gone for many years. How old is Xiao Yu? Even if Empress Xiao is on the grassland, what kind of life can she live?" Li Fu said: "Besides, you probably don't believe it."

Li Shimin smiled.

"I am asking someone to verify this matter. When the matter is investigated, Xiao Yu will be cleared of all charges. At that time, he will be able to resume his official position." Li Shimin said: "Therefore, there is no rush now..."

When he said this, Li Shimin reacted.

This bastard, he also guessed this.

Since he knows everything, why ask a hammer!

Li Fu turned his head, avoiding Li Shimin's gaze, and looked at the scenery outside the palace.

"Just tell me what you want to do." Li Shimin asked.

"I said, I want Mr. Xiao to teach at Zhuangzi. As for how long it will take, it depends on you, second brother." Li Fu turned his head with a smile on his face and looked at Li Shimin.

"If possible, I won't think about it for a day."

"That can't be done." Li Fu said, "As for this matter, you want to investigate, but Xiao Xianggong is also upset, right? You can't even let your subjects feel wronged, right? Take this opportunity to let Xiao Xianggong go to the farm to relax. After this period of time, the matter will be investigated and dealt with. Xiao Xianggong will be reinstated, and everyone will be happy."

"What to deal with?" Li Shimin asked.

"Originally, I didn't think of dealing with anything, but just now you said that Doctor Wei Zheng rejected your face in front of so many people in the court this morning. This matter may also give you a vent, and scare Doctor Wei a little, so that he will be a little, a little restrained."

Li Fu stretched out his hand and made a gesture that would break the defense of the Goguryeo man.

"Well? Tell me in detail." Li Shimin became interested.

Li Fu showed a triumphant smile on his face.

Then, he carefully told Li Shimin his thoughts.

"You did ask them to give advice in front of everyone, and you would accept it as long as it was correct, but you didn't ask others to frame others." Li Fu said: "You gave a heavy reward to Sun Fujia who dared to give advice, and the consequence is that some officials may start to give you advice in order to get your reward or to become famous. Some of these advices are right and some are wrong, some are good and some are bad, and some are even fabricated.

This is not okay. They talk without saying anything, and in the end you, the emperor, need to distinguish them. The more they talk, the more you need to distinguish, which consumes a lot of energy. It is even like the incident with Mr. Xiao this time. If you are not careful, rumors will hurt a loyal official, which is not good.

So, it is also necessaryThose who make suggestions should think carefully and say what is right and beneficial. Those who make up something out of thin air should keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, you will be busy in the future. In particular, you cannot use unfounded rumors to attack others. The court should impose some restrictions on the censors.

The best thing is that whoever advocates should provide evidence.

For example, someone said that Xiao Xianggong was colluding with the enemy. He was asked to produce evidence. If there is no evidence, it is a false accusation. False accusations must bear the consequences. Telling lies must be responsible. "

Li Shimin heard this and asked, "If this is the case, won't the censors dare to speak in the future? The so-called suggestions are that the court officials speak and the emperor absorbs the opinions. If there is anything, the court will investigate. How can the censors have the right to investigate? So what you said makes sense, but at present, the idea is still too simple. However, I still have to consider the reasonable ones you proposed and how to improve this system. "

Li Shimin felt that the truth can be learned, and how to formulate methods in the end is a process, not something that can be done by saying it. Once an edict is issued, everything will be fine.

Any policy in the court cannot be treated as a joke, and the emperor's edict cannot be changed overnight.

"Then this time, after the second brother has investigated the matter of offering slanderous words to frame Xiao Xianggong, do you plan to lightly cover it up?" Li Fu asked.

"Of course not." Li Shimin said: "As you said, you have to be responsible for spreading rumors. The court will investigate the rumors and slander Xiao Xianggong. After the investigation is clear, the court will make corresponding punishments and will not let Xiao Xianggong be wronged."

Of course, the punishment this time can be heavier, to show those censors, especially Wei Zheng, not to make trouble all day long.

Although Li Shimin is generous, he is still a little bit petty in his heart about not giving face to Wei Zheng.
