Chapter 217: Pack up and leave

When Li Gang heard this, he just sneered.

In fact, when he is at his age, it doesn't make sense to rely on the truth.

After all... he believed in his own ideas all his life.

He disdained what Chen Zhengtai said, but said contemptuously: "The evil way is not worth mentioning."

Chen Zhengtai was not angry and embarrassed, but laughed: "Actually, you have your reasons, and I have my reasons. If you want to distinguish higher, you will never be able to tell the winner in your entire life. But..."

"It's just what?" Li Gang looked at Chen Zhengtai disgustedly.

Chen Zhengtai also looked at Li Gang with disgust.

Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Ma Zhou, who was lowered, seemed to have begun to think.

The first time he heard Chen Zhengtai make sense, he was a little hesitant. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this, but was Li Gang wrong?

Could it be…Is it wrong to read the Four Books and Five Classics?”

Ma Zhou is also a Confucian scholar, so he basically agrees with some of Li Gang's principles, but... he also found that, as Chen Zhengtai said, Li Gang's trick seemed to be really unfamiliar, which made Ma Zhou a little contradictory.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai smiled at Li Gang and said, "It's just that you and I are different. Li Zhanshi gained fame through the Four Books and Five Classics; but I, Chen Zhengtai, gradually revitalized my family business through management."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai paused, looked at Li Gang with a little mocking, and then said: "It's like someone outside is about to starve to death, and Li Zhanshi's family has tens of thousands of bans of food. When he saw those who were starving to death, he not only did not think that it was shameless to have a rich family's smell of wine and meat, but instead stood in his own wall and looked at the people who were fighting for it, scolding them for being unethical and actually doing the scramble. But he repeatedly taught to others what kind of gentlemen should do and what kind of scholars should do."

"When talking about a thousand words and ten thousand, the reason why Li Zhanshi can talk about the Four Books and Five Classics here is simply because Li Zhanshi has eaten and drunk enough and has enough spare time to read your Four Books and Five Classics. The more free you are, the more you read the more scriptures you read, the more you feel that you are different from ordinary people and feel that you are superior to others. If you have a wealthy family, of course you look down on those who are busy for five dou of rice. After all, only Li Zhanshi can do unrealistic things. If you talk about reading here, it will certainly be of great benefit to Li Zhanshi, but it will be meaningless to us."

When everyone heard this, they nodded involuntarily.

Who dares to say that the person standing here just needs to study?

Does Li Shimin dare to say this? Do other officials from the Zhanshi Mansion dare to say this?

Ma Zhou was poor and was once displaced, so he dared not say that.

Li Gang seemed to hear what Chen Zhengtai said. It turns out that this was pushing himself to the opposite of everyone.

He couldn't help but sneer, "At a young age, he has sharp teeth and sharp mouths. I want to see how you misled the prince in the future..."

After hearing this, Li Shimin was already in a deep grief. At this time, Li Gang's impression in Li Shimin's heart had completely collapsed. From the beginning when the evil man complained first, excluding Chen Zhengtai, and now... it has become a mere talk.

This made Li Shimin feel disgusted. His face showed anger and he shouted sternly: "Enough."

Li Gang's face turned red, still like a rooster with high fighting spirit, but he had to hold his breath and salute Li Shimin: "Your Majesty..."

Li Shimin said in a light tone: "The Li Qing family is old, it's time to enjoy her old age."

Li Shimin has always been a quick decision. At this time, he had a decision in his heart and said, "I have entrusted the prince to you for so many years. The Li Qing family has no contributions and has worked hard. But you are old and you will never lose your good things when you go back to Yi'er to get grandchildren."

This is too explicit.

For a moment, Li Gang was filled with mixed feelings and then burst into tears. This was the East Palace where he had been staying for decades.

Here... he served many crown princes, and he had feelings for these crown princes.

But now, he didn't expect that he would end up being swept out at the end.

He was stunned for a moment and was at a loss. Then he had to bow deeply to Li Shimin helplessly: "Old minister... obey the order."

Seeing this, not only did everyone feel no regrets, but many people were actually happy.

Li Zhan is gone.

From then on...will Chen Zhan make the decision?

If so... everyone's good days...

Li Shimin had something to say to Chen Zhengtai, so he waved his hand and asked the officials to retreat.

Then he looked at Chen Zhengtai with a surprised look on his face: "You have only been here for two days and you know the Zhan Shi Mansion well. It's amazing."

Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Mr.... Actually, this is nothing special. Students can do everything by relying on the word "diligence."

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly: "When I came, I was afraid that you would be lazy, so I can rest assured now."

Chen Zhengtai glanced at Li Shimin and remembered something: "It's just a mentor... this Zhanshi Mansion... students feel that there are many shortcomings. Just to assist the prince, there are too many shortcomings. The students think... the original intention of the court to establish three provinces and six ministries and establish Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace should not be like this."

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai in surprise. He felt that this guy was not simple and could stand alone.

Li Shimin said with relief: "What do you mean?"

Chen Zhengtai had already figured out Li Shimin's thoughts. In fact, he had an idea in his mind, but it was just inconvenient to put it forward in the past.

And now... he could put forward with confidence and boldness: "With the three provinces and six ministries, why do you need a backup three provinces and six ministries? Today, the Tang Dynasty followed the laws of the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, and Sui Dynasty. This set of methods is not useless, but at least... Judging from the experience of the Sui Dynasty, it may not be possible to ensure that the world can achieve long-term stability. The students believe that their teachers actually had such concerns."

Long-term peace and stability...

This seemed to be the focus of Li Shimin's heart. Li Shimin's face became solemn. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then said, "You continue talking."

Chen Zhengtai said: "Of course, the system of three provinces and six ministries that have been inherited cannot be changed easily, because this involves too much, and it is said that one can affect the whole body. But... if my Tang Dynasty only follows the old system, no matter how wise my mentor is, he is just the second Emperor Wen of Sui. While using the old system, why not try the new system?"

Li Shimin suddenly felt that Chen Zhengtai was a little naive. Can you use the new system as soon as you want? Then Emperor Yang of Sui made drastic moves and changed a lot of old systems, but what was the result? It touched the fundamental interests of countless people. What was the end?

Chen Zhengtai knew what Li Shimin would react, so he said: "Of course, the students did not say that the new system would be used immediately. Besides, whether the new system is useful or not is still unknown. I think my mentor will never joke about the country."

"But... Isn't this... Is there a set of spare three provinces and six ministries here in the East Palace? The Zhanshi Mansion is idle, so why not make drastic moves and use the new system? Any attempt is made, try it in the Zhanshi Mansion. If the Zhanshi Mansion can succeed, the three provinces and six ministries can also follow the example in the future. But if the Zhanshi Mansion cannot do it, even if something goes wrong, its influence can be within a controllable range."

Li Shimin is not a fool. He is very clear that there are many disadvantages today, but these disadvantages cannot be easily changed, because once they are changed, no one can predict the consequences.

But at this time, Chen Zhengtai proposed this, which made him feel refreshed.

For things that the court is inconvenient to do, the Zhanshi Mansion will do, and for things that the court cannot correct, the Zhanshi Mansion will correct. Finally, through the effectiveness of the Zhanshi Mansion, whether to promote it will be decided.

After all, the Zhanshi Mansion is just a backup team. If you do it well, the three provinces and six ministries can learn from it. Once something happens, the three provinces and six ministries can also be taken as a warning.

This... Li Shimin immediately showed a strong interest in this.

He stared at Chen Zhengtai: "The Zhan Shi Mansion can make drastic moves and come to the new world. As long as it does not touch the foundation of the country, it can do anything?"

"Yes." Chen Zhengtai said: "And doing so can also sharpen the crown prince. The crown prince is young, but as His Majesty said, he has grown up, so why not let him give it a try."

"The student has thought about it. The laws of the Zhanshi Mansion are only within Erpigou and Jun County, and outside Erpigou and Jun County, and are under the jurisdiction of the three provinces and six ministries. The teacher only thinks that this is the student and the prince themselves are making trouble. If this nonsense... can benefit the world, it is the teacher's wise. If there is any bad result, the teacher can also decisively stop it to avoid worse consequences."

Li Shimin suddenly found it interesting: "You don't have to explain it in such detail. I know your intentions. Zhan Shi Mansion... Zhan Shi Mansion... Well, it's a little bit interesting..."

Li Shimin was an emperor with great potential, but at the same time... even he had to restrain his hands and feet, because he was the emperor, and any action was related to the people of the world, so he acted very cautiously.

If someone is interested in observing Li Shimin's military use, he will find that Li Shimin is actually a very good at military use. If you give him two thousand cavalry, he will dare to scream and take these two thousand cavalry to break the army of a hundred thousand army.

But after becoming emperor, many of Li Shimin's actions went against his military philosophy.

Because Li Shimin is also a person who is good at summarizing experience, he is very clear about the reasons for the demise of the Sui Dynasty and is deeply wary of any change.

But now it seems... different.

Li Shimin suddenly laughed: "In this way, this Zhan Shi Mansion is my pioneer... I will let you do this Zhan Shi Mansion?"
