Chapter 55: A dog bites a dog in the courtroom
Return your thoughts to the court
Li Mingda took a bite of the pastry in his mouth and drank another mouthful of milk.
The excitement outside is still going on.
Li Shimin did not directly answer what these kneeling court officials said, and continued to drop bombshells.
"I plan to allow all adult and minor princes and princesses to establish government offices and participate in government affairs. What do you think?"
A minister came out and shouted: "Your Majesty is so famous. With so many princes and princesses participating in the court, it will surely bring prosperity and peace to the world."
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty"
Li Shimin looked at the ministers jumping below, and Brick told Duan Hong in a low voice: "Take down the names of these idiots and remove them later."
"yes"
Li Mingda, who was hiding behind the screen, was so frightened by these idiots that he almost dropped his pastry. He was so pure that he had such an IQ to survive in court.
Wei Zheng stood up as a professional to fight against Lao Li, delaying the start of justice: "I object, if this happens, the court will be in chaos. Chaos in the court will lead to chaos in the world. Please take back your order."
"Your Majesty, please take back your order."
The censors headed by Wei Zheng shouted one after another, hoping that Lao Li would give up this idea.
Lao Li still liked Wei Zheng's words. This was because he was looking for a step.
Then some of those who continued to dance were no longer willing and spoke out against Wei Zheng: "Master Wei, are you afraid that you will lose your current status in the Hundred Schools of Thought?"
"Fart, I'm sitting upright, there's nothing a fool like you can do."
"Why am I stupid?"
"Then let me ask you whether there has ever been a prince who established a government office and participated in government affairs since ancient times."
"Yes, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Han Dynasty are similar."
"You admire the great Zhou Dynasty man, don't you?"
"Of course"
"The great Zhou Dynasty divided the princes and ruled the world together. As a result, the emperor of Zhou was killed. The princes and states fought against each other for hundreds of years and the world was plagued by cholera. We, the land of China, suffered countless casualties."
"Here...there's a big man here too"
"Where did the Rebellion of the Seven Kings come from?"
“…”
Next, Lao Wei relied on his powerful knowledge to beat the minister who was competing with him like a grandson.
This scene is worse than fighting against Old Li. After all, Wei Zheng still has a few steps for him to climb down. There is no need for this minister. As the leader of the Yushitai, Wei Zheng is the first person to fight against.
Seeing that Wei Zheng was about to attack him, it was as useless as an insect repellent. In Wei Zheng's attack, he also revealed all the shortcomings of princes and princesses participating in politics, to the point where Li Shimin had a step to step down.
"Okay, I understand what Wei Zheng said, so the disadvantages of the prince and princess participating in government affairs are too great, so let's change them to their legitimate sons and daughters. What do you think?"
Wei Zheng still wanted to speak, but the minister behind him, who had already heard something fishy, grabbed him by the hem of his clothes. Wei Zheng turned around and shook his head.
Wei Zheng looked at the other party's eyes and suddenly realized: "This is feasible, but your Majesty still needs to be prepared for how to proceed. Although the princes are close brothers and sisters, if there is an ambitious person who seduces the princes and princesses and causes rebellion, it will be a crime."
Oh no"
Changsun Wuji interrupted: "Well, it is true, so this matter needs to be discussed carefully."
Gao Shilian: "Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is indeed of great concern, especially when a non-legitimate son participates in government affairs."
Gao Shilian's goal was to directly attack Li Ke. After all, as Changsun Wuji's uncle and Li Chengqian's great-uncle, he must support the crown prince Li Chengqian.
No one has raised the idea of deposing the prince just now, they are all talking about one thing.
The elders of the Sui Dynasty who supported Li Ke must not be reconciled.
"Although I'm not my legitimate son, I shouldn't let all my talents and learning go to waste. I should be open-minded."
"As a prince, it is your duty to share your Majesty's worries and ask for orders from all the people. Even if you are not a legitimate son, you should have a place."
"That's right, wouldn't it be beautiful for Your Majesty's concubine and Meimei to be together?"
"If the disputes between concubines and concubines in the court are taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives, once the turmoil arises, it will cause civil disputes and cause social turmoil in the family. When the time comes, brothers will fight, and if the family is in chaos, the world will be in chaos."
"..."
Li Ke's party spoke one after another, and their attitude seemed to be that if Li Shimin took the opportunity to take away Li Ke's power in the government, the Tang Dynasty would be over.
Li Shimin looked at the following performance, and he was mentally prepared for these. Li Shimin didn't need to speak, and someone would naturally suppress the topic for him.
As the only one fighting for power in the court, Li Ke was a prince with a somewhat special status. The remaining two were legitimate sons.
The ministers behind Rou Mingan and Fat Tai were fighting each other, two to one, attacking each other with every word they said, and they almost came to blows.
The smartest faction in the court is naturally the neutral faction. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li and other military generals and civilian officials don't care what you three gangs are going to do. Anyway, whoever becomes the future emperor is their boss Li Shimin. It's a matter of one sentence, but it's all in vain to fight for it now.
However, Changsun Wuji asked Li Mingda to open a government office and Cheng Yaojin was a little concerned. He took the opportunity to chat with Yuchi Jingde.
"Old Hei, what do you think about the princess opening a mansion?"
"That's right, hey, whatever these idiots are fighting over, in the end, it's our Majesty who has the final say."
"Hey, you understand as expected."
"Of course I, Lao Hei, know the nonsense. You think you are the only one who is smart? Look at Li Jing and Li Jing who don't even speak."
"That's right, but do you want to say something to our princess? After all, it won't be the prince's turn to be the emperor in the future, and our princess will still be the princess."
"Well, if we die later, the princess can still support those useless brats."
"This is a good idea, but it obviously won't work with just the two of us."
"Don't you still have Li's family? Let's discuss it with them."
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were both evil-hearted and courageous. While a group of ministers were muttering, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde openly gathered their neutral faction members together and began to discuss with Aunt Didi. Help Li Mingda open a house.
Due to the fierce competition in the scene, Cheng Yaojin and the others were doing this. The ministers who were fighting with each other had no time to pay attention to what Cheng Yaojin and the others were doing. Otherwise, if they were put together, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and the others would be blamed in the court. It's out of character or something.
These ministers argued that Li Shimin pretended to listen attentively but actually didn't care at all. Li Ke was the whetstone used to train Li Chengqian, and Li Tai was both the whetstone and substitute. It would be good to add Li Zhi to replace Yanran this time. At the end, Li Mingda fills in the gaps and does the final work of checking and filling in the gaps.
Li Mingda was still young, so it was natural for Li Shimin to manage the mansion for her. By observing history, he discovered that Li Mingda would occasionally be possessed by the third sister. He thought that if Li Mingda existed in the Tang Dynasty, he might be able to go further.
The two groups looked at each other with red faces and red faces. Li Shimin shouted loudly: "Okay, stop talking. Everything in the court remains unchanged. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, what are you muttering about?"
