Gao Zhixing and Li Tingxue looked at each other in confusion.
"Rainbow rice cake."
Gao Zhixing frowned and said, "Why do I think your brother is playing chess?"
"You just felt it?"
Li Tingxue gave him a blank look.
"???"
Gao Zhixing's mind was full of confusion: "Did you already know this?"
"if not?" ??
"I still don't understand my own brother?"
Li Tingxue looked at the direction in which Li Chengqian left, and said with a faint look: "If I guessed correctly, his father should have said something to him."
Speaking of which.
Li Tingxue suddenly squinted her eyes, as if she thought of something.
However, she didn't say much, she just said to Gao Zhixing: "Please help him well from now on, he will not treat you badly."
"I know this."
Gao Zhixing took Li Tingxue into his arms and said with a smile: "As long as I, Hongzi, are here, he will never treat me badly, my uncle and brother-in-law."
If you treat him badly, isn't it the same as treating his own sister badly?
Judging from Li Chengqian's feelings for Li Tingxue, it is absolutely impossible for him to treat his sister badly.
…
the other side.
When Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he greeted Li Shimin.
I briefly explained to Li Shimin the matter of transferring Gao Zhixing to Dali Temple and sending Li Ji to Liangzhou.
"Then I will issue an edict tomorrow and confer him the title of Young Minister of Dali Temple."
"As for your master going to Liangzhou, you have to tell him yourself."
Li Shimin looked at the memorial in his hand and said without raising his head: "However, if you ask Gao Zhixing to go to Dali Temple, where should Wei Zheng be arranged to go?"
"Ministry of Staff."
Li Chengqian said.
"Ministry of Staff?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Are you sure you will transfer him to the Ministry of Personnel?"
Wei Zheng has always been known for being strict.
The Ministry of Personnel is the department that inspects and selects officials. .
If Wei Zheng is involved, will the officials of the Tang Dynasty still be alive in the future?
"Sure!"
Li Chengqian said seriously: "Furthermore, I feel that based on the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, the candidate for Minister of Personnel must be Uncle Wei."
"Why?"
Li Shimin said in confusion.
"Because my father is too soft-hearted."
Li Chengqian gave his answer directly.
"Softhearted?"
Li Shimin smiled: "I am an emperor who came down from the battlefield. When have I ever softened my heart?"
Li Chengqian was completely convinced by Li Shimin's insistence on saving face.
"Of course you have never been soft-hearted towards your enemies."
"But how do you treat your courtiers? How do you treat your old brothers who walked through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood with you?"
"Father, please don't say you don't have it."
"Because the example of Duke Yun is right in front of us."
Listen to this.
Li Shimin was embarrassed on the spot.
Zhang Liang's matter is really closely related to him.
If he hadn't doted on Zhang Liang so much, what happened later wouldn't have happened.
"Zhang Liang was an accident."
Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "That's because he is arrogant because of his favor. He can't blame others."
"But Zhang Liang is not the only one who is proud of his favor."
"When Yuchi Baolin raped a girl on the street, people reported him to Dali Temple, but wasn't he still suppressed by his father?"
Li Chengqian said slowly: "Now these ministers in the court basically know my father's temper and where his bottom line is."
"So when they do things, they will always follow the edge of Father's bottom line."
"In this way, even my father knows that they have done something behind their back that is not conducive to the court."
"You will probably turn a blind eye.
Close one eye and get through it if you can."
"At the beginning, it may be just one or two small things, but over time, it becomes no small thing."
Li Chengqian remembers it clearly.
In another timeline, after Gaozong succeeded to the throne, many jokes were made because of this incident.
It is undeniable that Li Shimin was an extremely great emperor.
At the same time, he was also the other founding monarch in history who did not massacre his heroes except the First Emperor.
But compared to the starting emperor, Li Shimin was still one level behind him after all.
During the time of the First Emperor, at least there were strict laws set by Shang Yang to regulate the officials.
But when it came to Li Shimin, he completely let himself go.
As a result, after Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, he had to be restrained by his ministers for a long time. .??.
This also forced Gaozong to find Changsun Wuji and use his uncle's relationship to kick most of the heroes out of the court, finally solving this problem.
And on this timeline.
Li Shimin will soon pass the throne to him.
He also faced similar problems as Gaozong did at the beginning.
These old treasures that my father left for me are nothing if they move or move.
Therefore, he had to make some plans for himself in advance.
It is absolutely appropriate to place Wei Zheng, a man who obviously has a talent for being a cruel official, in the official department.
At least it can deter some courtiers from committing illegal acts.
And Li Chengqian said so much.
Li Shimin roughly understood what he meant.
For a while.
Li Shimin was also a little confused: "After all, they are our meritorious ministers of the Tang Dynasty..."
"It's true that he is a meritorious minister."
"It is also necessary for Datang to treat them well."
"But father must know that being kind does not mean condoning."
"If they are allowed to go around oppressing the people, how will they be any different from those in the previous dynasty who took bribes and distorted the law to deceive the king?"
Li Chengqianye He was not used to Li Shimin at all and started talking about Na Ning's words directly.
Li Shimin's expression changed and he said: "This dynasty is the present dynasty, and the previous dynasty was the previous dynasty. How can they be the same?"
"Everything is the same, why can't it be the same?"
Li Chengqian didn't bother to sort it out anymore and said directly: "If the father doesn't allow it, there is nothing I can do about it."
"Father, I can rest assured and continue to sit on the throne for more than ten years."
"When will these meritorious veterans become incapable of taking charge, and my father will abdicate again?"
threaten.
This is the threat of Chiguoguo.
How could Li Shimin stand such anger?
At that time, it was on the verge of exploding.
"Li Chengqian!"
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "Are you threatening your father?"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating the facts."
Li Chengqian said calmly: "I told my father earlier that I have no intention of becoming a prince at all."
"It was the father's step-by-step calculation that brought his son to this position."
"After that, it was the father's step-by-step calculation that pushed his son to the position of heir."
"I even plan to pass the throne to my son next year."
"But I have never had any idea about this, so I am not prepared at all."
"My father also saw all the things that happened before."
"My son, I don't even have a useful confidant around me, so I have to borrow someone from my father."
"If the father doesn't give his son time, then even if he succeeds to the throne in the future, he will be controlled by others."
"Instead of being someone else's puppet, I would rather be a prince honestly."
Li Chengqian bowed his hand to Li Shimin and said: "I would like to ask my father to take back his life and allow me to succeed him in more than ten years, so that I can cultivate a group of confidants..."
