When Li Shimin went on patrol, he asked Li Chengqian to stay in Chang'an to supervise the country.
In recent years, Li Shimin has been on patrol almost every year, so Li Chengqian's time in prison has not been short.
He also has his own opinions on how to govern the country.
Su Mingzhe asked Li Chengqian and the princes and princes to write a policy paper.
Li Chengqian did not immediately find his team of advisers to write for him, but wrote an article himself first.
On the second day.
Only then did he find his own group of advisers and ask them to help him evaluate and polish it.
The group of advisers convened by Li Chengqian included Du Ruhui's eldest son Du He, Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yizhi, and Princess Changguang's son Zhao Jie.
These three people have different personalities and abilities.
Among them, Du He has the same temperament as his father Du Ruhui, who is upright and rough.
After he saw Li Chengqian's policy, he applauded it.
Fang Yizhi had an upright character and kept his words to himself. After reading the policy discussion, he just nodded silently.
Only Zhao Jie, who was a reckless man, Li Shimin's nephew, and Li Chengqian's cousin, didn't have so many scruples when speaking. He first nodded in praise, and then spoke straightforwardly:
"Your Highness, I think that when writing policies, you have to offer suggestions and suggestions that can be implemented. Your rhetoric is gorgeous, and you also said something about a dear minister and a distant person, but in the end it is just general talk.
, there is nothing new to say, and it also lacks the finishing touch to inspire people.”
"My cousin must be wise when he says that!"
Li Chengqian knew the temperament of his cousin, so he pretended not to hear the disrespectful words in his words and asked directly:
"I don't know, is there anything my cousin can teach me?"
"I really do!"
As Zhao Jie said this, he took out a policy paper from his pocket without any politeness, handed it to the servant at his side, and asked him to pass it on to the prince.
Naturally, this policy statement was not written by Zhao Jie, but by his disciples.
As the emperor's nephew, Zhao Jie was also a close confidant of the prince, and many literati took refuge in him.
This piece of policy was written by his disciples based on Zhao Jie's daily speech and behavior.
Li Chengqian read it once and had to bow his head in resignation.
Sure enough, I don’t have the talent to write policy papers.
However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have talent, as long as the people around you have talent.
Immediately, the four of them got together, took the strategy that Zhao Jie had brought out, and began to revise it.
In Chang'an City, scenes from the East Palace also appeared in the homes of many princes and county kings.
Unlike Li Chengqian, other princes and princes directly found their servants to write for themselves.
Including Li Tai, King of Wei.
After all, in the eyes of these people, the result is the same whether they copy the writing themselves or have it written by a hired servant.
Maybe the emperor wouldn't even read these strategies if they were handed in.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
It’s time to think over the book and make decisions.
Li Chengqian took the lead and submitted the strategy he and his subordinates from the East Palace had brainstormed.
After Su Mingzhe looked at it, he nodded with satisfaction.
The text here is concise, the general idea is clear, one, two, three, four, from policy to implementation, in an orderly manner.
The fact that Li Chengqian could hand over such a policy at least proves that he is a prince with normal thinking.
Historically, Li Chengqian was also a very hard-working young man.
Unfortunately, after the death of Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian broke his leg again and developed leg disease, which gradually began to distort his mind.
Su Mingzhe was satisfied, and he did not hesitate to praise him. Finally, he gave some pointers:
"Qian'er, before the next court meeting, you should read more history books. I use copper as a mirror to dress my clothes; I use the past as a mirror to know the ups and downs; I use people as a mirror to know gains and losses."
"My son, I would like to thank my father for your teachings."
Li Chengqian paid his respects immediately.
Subsequently, the kings of Wei, Han, and other princes and prefectures all presented their own strategies.
Su Mingzhe took Li Chengqian to review and inquire about these policies together.
Princes like the King of Wei, the King of Han, and the King of Ji were still eager to learn. Although the policies and discussions were made by retainers, they themselves had read them all.
Most of Su Mingzhe's questions were answered correctly.
And some princes, such as Li Min, the king of Shu, were so ignorant that they simply copied the policies written by their retainers.
When Su Mingzhe asked, Li Min gave an incorrect answer.
Su Mingzhe immediately scolded him and asked him to go back and rewrite.
In addition, there were some princes and princes who simply didn't bother to copy and directly called in the ones written by their own disciples.
When Su Mingzhe asked, these bastards hesitated and were so frightened that they were sweating.
After half a day of this, most of the 20 or so people’s strategies were sent back and asked to go back and rewrite them.
When Li Chengqian followed Su Mingzhe's comments, he gradually understood what was a good policy and what was a bad policy.
What is the difference between gorgeous Chinese rhetoric and rigorous and practical policies?
the other side.
Su Mingzhe's harem is also undercurrent.
As the saying goes: The king of Chu has a thin waist, and many people in the palace starve to death.
Before Su Mingzhe traveled through time, although Li Shimin often courted several women at night, he still controlled the rules and would only recruit one beauty to sleep with him at a time.
But now, Su Mingzhe first invited Wu Cairen and Xu Cairen to sleep together, and then went to Dai Ji's place, and harmed Dai Ji and Zheng Guanyin at the same time.
There was no way this kind of thing could be hidden from the concubines in the harem.
After Concubine Wei got the news, she consulted with her cousin Wei Nizi, hoping that her cousin would follow her and serve the emperor together.
Wei Nizi reluctantly agreed.
On the same day, Concubine Wei invited the emperor to her palace, saying that she had rehearsed a new dance and invited the emperor to watch it.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at the place, he saw Sister Wei Fei, one on the left and one on the right, dancing the most popular "Hu Xuan Dance" in Chang'an City.
The dance Xu Hui performed for the man last time was actually a kind of "Hu Xuan Dance".
This time, two stunning beauties, one concubine and one concubine, danced the 'Hu Xuan Dance' together, doubling the man's happiness.
And the actions of the Webster sisters could not be concealed.
Therefore, many concubines in the palace followed suit, making Su Mingzhe's life happier and happier.
For a while.
Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui were left aside by Su Mingzhe.
March passed and it was early April.
The Great Chao Meeting takes place once a month.
Either the first day or the fifteenth day of the junior high school.
This time, Su Mingzhe held another court meeting. It was only half a month since the last time.
The ministers in purple robes and red clothes all hurried back to attend the court meeting.
Following Zhang Anan's words: "...If there is something going on, we will start to act; if there is nothing going on, we will retreat."
Fang Xuanling had already received instructions from Su Mingzhe and immediately asked Prince Li Chengqian to serve as Jing Zhaoyin and take charge of the Sixth Command of the East Palace.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Yan Shigu and other ministers also got the message and seconded the proposal.
These few people have a very close relationship with Prince Li Chengqian.
Among them, Changsun Wuji is Li Chengqian’s biological uncle.
Wei Zheng and Yan Shigu were Li Chengqian’s teachers.
Now that the emperor wants to put more emphasis on the prince, these people will only support him instead of holding him back.
When other ministers reacted, they all agreed.
Su Mingzhe nodded in approval.
Later, some ministers began to report other matters.
Seeing that half an hour has passed, the meeting is gradually coming to an end.
At this time, another old man with white hair and white beard walked out from among the ministers and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, there have been rumors in Chang'an City recently that Your Majesty is planning to demote you to a higher rank. Do you know whether it is true or not?"
Su Mingzhe identified the old man and found out that this old man was his in-laws and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Song Guogong Xiao Yu.
When Xiao Yu was Emperor Gaozu, he once suggested to Emperor Gaozu that when establishing a prince, he should establish a virtuous person, and recommended King Qin Li Shimin to be the prince.
In gratitude for this kindness, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he dismissed and deposed all the other prime ministers during Emperor Gaozu's time, except Xiao Yu, who remained at the center of power.
However, this Xiao Yu had a bad temper. He was said to be a sweet-tempered person, but in fact he was a bit narrow-minded and would quarrel and quarrel with others at every turn.
Other ministers in the DPRK have always had a bad relationship with him.
Because of this incident, Li Shimin also dismissed him several times and revived him several times.
Even so, Xiao Yu's character has not changed.
Now, when the old man talked about 'downgrading to a noble title', Su Mingzhe thought for a moment and answered affirmatively:
"Yes, I have made this decision."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Xiao Yu first confirmed Su Mingzhe's idea, then knelt down and begged:
"Since Your Majesty has this intention, he should issue an edict as soon as possible to calm people's hearts and calm the court discussion."
"What Song Guogong said is absolutely true."
Su Mingzhe had already found the gunman and planned to bring it up later.
Now Xiao Yu speaks first, which saves trouble.
Seeing that the gunman had quick eyesight and quick hands, he stood up and took the lead in seconding the proposal.
Other ministers, such as Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji and other generals, also agreed.
Seeing that most of the ministers agreed to demote him to a higher rank.
Su Mingzhe took out the downgrade and peerage system he had prepared, and then asked everyone to discuss it and find out the deficiencies.
Tang Jian, Hou Junji and others immediately proposed some supplementary regulations.
However, such a big matter must not be so hasty.
In the end, Su Mingzhe handed over the task of improving the system to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was given the task of improving the system, so he was naturally proud of himself. Looking at the ministers who had disagreed with him in the past, he couldn't help but make some provocations after the dynasty was dismissed.
However, now that others see that he is favored, they do not share the same feelings as him.
Even important officials such as Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng avoided him.
However, although everyone avoided Xiao Yu, some people were still unconvinced.
In everyone's eyes, Xiao Yu is like a stone in a cesspit, smelly and hard.
Everyone can't grasp Xiao Yu's background and can't punish him.
But, his son... well, neither can.
Xiao Yu's eldest son, Xiao Rui, was the Prince Consort and had always been highly valued by the emperor.
If you can't cause trouble for his son, then you can cause trouble for his daughter!
Many ministers in the court are not big-minded, and they are determined to retaliate.
Soon, someone found the Xiao family's weakness.
It was popular at that time to worship Buddha.
As descendants of Emperor Wu of Liang, the Xiao family respects Buddhism more than any other noble family.
Every generation of the Xiao family has people entering the temple and becoming monks.
Among Xiao Yu's children, there are three daughters and one son who became a monk.
Among them, the eldest daughter became a monk at the age of three, and the third daughter became a monk at the age of thirteen.
These two Xiao girls have been monks for a long time, so it's hard for everyone to settle old scores.
However, Xiao Yu's fifth daughter only became a monk last year.
Many people with ulterior motives thought of the emperor's draft last year.
Soon, someone accused Xiao Yu of being disrespectful.
The emperor wanted to draft girls into the palace, but at this time, Xiao Yu sent his daughter to Ganye Temple to become a nun.
This is contempt for imperial power.
When Su Mingzhe saw this impeachment memorial, he was a little confused.
In two days' time it will be Qingming Festival.
As an emperor, you must also worship your ancestors.
However, before worshiping his ancestors, Li Shimin, according to usual practice, had to offer incense and pray for his deceased mother, Queen Taimu.
The place where people burn incense and pray for blessings is also Ganye Temple.
