Chapter 412: Grateful

No blessings to be eliminated!

Actually, this is not humility.

Purple Fish Bag? I, Chen Zhengtai, still lacks attention now?

As for entering the palace all the time? Maybe many people think this is an honor, but in Chen Zhengtai's opinion, this may not be a good thing.

If any concubine who is almost unpopular in this harem has been pregnant for no reason, who is this?

It’s not my Chen Zhengtai, so someone has to believe it if you say it.

So Chen Zhengtai decided to refuse again and again. At least His Majesty should give you some affordable things, even if you give a few more pieces of land.

But Li Shimin insisted: "No matter whether you and I are monarchs and ministers, I should not refuse the gifts from the elders, and I am disrespectful. I cannot refuse them like this. Just like this, you should always come to the palace to pay homage to your mother and see your mother's body."

This was a rhythm of saying something to death. Chen Zhengtai felt that he had no words to argue, so he had to say obediently: "Here."

Li Shimin then set his eyes on Changsun Chong.

He suddenly realized that this nephew was really likable.

Although I used to think that Changsun Chong was a confused child, now... I look horizontally and vertically, so I sighed to Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, you have given birth to a good son."

These short words that cannot be more brief made Changsun Wuji, who had experienced the roller coaster, feel at a loss for a moment.

After all, at the beginning, he was still immersed in the pain of his sister's death. He turned his head and found that his son had actually ordered the Wulou. Changsun Wuji's first reaction was that he was about to finish it. But who knew that in the blink of an eye, great sorrow turned into great joy again. It turned out that his son burned Wulou because he wanted to save his aunt. His own sister was resurrected from the dead.

When he thought of this, he felt that his mind was a little numb today, and he felt a lot of emotion. Life is really impermanent.

Immediately afterwards, Your Majesty's words that you gave birth to a good son made Changsun Wuji feel excited.

Of course, this is not because his son was praised.

But he knew very well that Your Majesty's attitude towards Chong'er had a fundamental change. Once Your Majesty's attitude towards Changsun Chong became trust, it would definitely be of great benefit to the future of the Changsun family.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the dog son... is so ruthless, dare to burn it..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, it's just a martial arts building. As long as Guanyin maid is safe, even if the Xuanzheng Palace is burned, it will be a meritorious."

Changsun Wuji nodded quickly. He still knew His Majesty’s concern for his sister!

After half an hour, I made another bowl of porridge and gave it to Queen Changsun. Queen Changsun's complexion recovered better? At this time, I was sober and learned that Chen Zhengtai saw his symptoms. For first aid, I dared to take Changsun to the Wulou to set fire. I couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, I couldn't help but say to Li Chengqian, "Crown Prince? Your senior brother is a very capable person. The princes are quite different from you? It is difficult for you brothers to help each other. But Chen Zhengtai is your senior brother and your brother-in-law. You have always been impatient? Listen to his opinions more in everything."

This is the truth of Empress Changsun.

Mother? How come you don’t know your son?

As a son, is smart? The only drawback? Is it a bad temperament? To put it bluntly? Such an unstable person is actually not suitable to be the emperor.

But he is the eldest son? He is his own biological son. He will not be the emperor in the future? Who will do it?

Just now, when Empress Changsun was about to die, she thought she would be separated from the world forever, besides her regret for the world, she was worried about her son.

Thinking that without himself in this world, without his protection and protection, the emperor's character of steel, and with the prince's romantic temperament, no one in this world can reconcile the father and son, God knows what will happen in the end.

Once any prince is deposed, the ending will be extremely tragic.

Empress Changsun felt that she had died once. Because of this, she realized that she might encounter misfortunes at any time in life, so she made such an explanation.

She always felt that Chen Zhengtai was a good-natured and loyal person, and was definitely a person who could entrust his life. He rescued her first today and was responsible for huge relationships. If she could not wake up, the Chen family was afraid that the future eunuch would be gone. But even so, Chen Zhengtai still stood up. This is not something that ordinary people can make up their minds.

Letting the prince discuss everything with Chen Zhengtai can make Empress Changsun feel at ease, and she can still be in peace in the future if she dies seriously.

From the corner of Li Chengqian's eyes, he glanced at Chen Zhengtai gratefully, and then responded obediently: "Yes, my son remembered it."

"That's good." Queen Changsun was relieved. She knew that Li Chengqian was not an obedient person, but... it seemed that Li Chengqian would listen to this sentence. These two boys are already in a good temperament and are playmates. She has never seen her face blushing after being together for so many years.

Empress Changsun immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am a little tired. Let's take a break. Now there is nothing wrong, so don't worry."

Li Shimin carefully observed Empress Changsun's complexion and felt that it was good. At this time, he finally felt relieved.

So he said, "Since that's the case, then Guanyin maid rests well."

After saying that, he took the prince, Chen Zhengtai and others out of the bedroom.

Immediately, Li Shimin personally arrived at Wulou. The fire here was extinguished. The eunuchs and the guards on duty were all frightened and came to apologize.

Li Shimin said happily: "What are you guilty of? Speaking of which, you have made contributions to putting out the fire, so each person will give you a golden cake."

Of course... After all, it is a good side hall, and there are many Li Shimin's beloved things. I don't know if they have been rescued. Li Shimin still feels a pity, but compared with the life of Empress Changsun, these are obviously insignificant.

He was in a good mood and turned around and said to everyone with a pleasant look: "Let's go to Wenlou and teach people to make tea. I haven't been so relaxed and happy for a long time."

So everyone followed Li Shimin to Wenlou. This Wenlou was on the left side of Xuanzheng Hall, opposite to Wulou. However, Li Shimin did not come often. He did not like the name Wenlou, which was too sour and corrupt.

After entering the building, he took the lead in sitting down, and then ordered someone to give him a seat.

Li Shimin then sighed and said, "You are all my closest relatives. It's hard to get together and say private words on weekdays. It's rare to get together today."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "It's my fault, I'm not walking around on weekdays."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Wuji used to be called me Erlang, but now... he has more time to call His Majesty than to call me Li Erlang, and his speech has become much more restrained than before."

Changsun Wuji smiled. Now the accident of Empress Changsun suddenly seemed to make Changsun Wuji feel a lot. Life is so fragile that some people may disappear if they don’t say they don’t see each other. Over the years, he has been obsessed with the officialdom and has been trying to figure out people’s hearts every day. Now there is a sudden sense that the river goes east and never returns. People should cherish their current thoughts.

Although Li Shimin wanted to say some private words, a group of big men gathered together and soon the topic was paid attention to the court again.

Li Shimin said: "There is Baekje... I heard that the prince of the king ascended the throne, and this prince became the new Baekje king. But the current Baekje king is still in Chang'an. Baekje may have sent envoys to send Tang to Chang'an soon. Zhengtai, you should be aware of this Baekje country. What do you think?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Baoje has been established for four hundred years. This is the land of the Three Koreans. Their sect kings have taken root there. It is easy for me, the Tang Dynasty to defeat them. But if we send the Tang army to occupy their prefectures and make Baekje a prefecture, it will be a bit difficult. It is not that it is completely unfeasible. It is just that the occupation costs a lot, and the endless resistance will be eliminated, which is probably a waste of money. Moreover... taking Baekje will inevitably arouse Silla's vigilance.

At that time, did our Tang Dynasty want to reorganize Silla again? Even if we took down Silla and Japan, these three kingdoms, for our Tang Dynasty, have temporarily blocked land routes. This time we defeated them, entered the royal city, and tied up the Baekje king who was hostile to us to Chang'an, which has formed a huge deterrence to Baekje. Therefore, my son thought that if this prince sent a Tang envoy to make good friends with our Tang Dynasty, as long as they were willing to obey and were willing to regard the Tang Dynasty as a superior country, then... it would be fine."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement and said, "Fang Qing and others think so too, just click it and stop."

Chen Zhengtai immediately smiled and said, "But if you click it, it won't work."

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai suspiciously: "You continue talking."

Chen Zhengtai said: "I made him a vassal because I was inconvenient to control the Tang Dynasty. But this also means that my Tang Dynasty only took his name. So the meaning of the son minister is... Baekje... is related to the basic national policy of our Tang Dynasty's foreign vassals, and it is also a proposition for the future vassal states. Therefore... we must be very cautious."

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai thoughtfully: "It seems you have your own ideas."

"I can't say that the idea is that if Baekje wants to be a vassal, in addition to the necessary so-called tribute and vassal, we also need to meet the requirements of our Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, such a vassal state would not be enough. One of the first things: since it is a vassal state in the Tang Dynasty, then our Tang Dynasty still needs to send officials to Baekje."

"Send a traitor?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Since there is no prefecture or county, what should I send a traitor to do?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Of course, this official is not directly managing their people, but like the envoys they sent to send Tang. In order to adapt to the hearts of the people of Baekje, our Tang Dynasty should send officials to arrive in Baekje. After Baekje, we established an official office. Of course, we are responsible for monitoring the actions of the king and ministers of Baekje. If Baekje is the monarch and ministers of Baekje, can our Tang Dynasty sit idly by? Or, if my imperial envoy from Datang goes to Baekje, we naturally need the official to be responsible for the reception. There are also merchants and survivors of the Tang Dynasty who pass through this place, and the official officials of Baekje also need to handle related matters."

Li Shimin nodded secretly and sent some personnel. I think the rebound in Baekje will not be very fierce, and some officials in the Tang Dynasty were almost overcrowded, so it would be okay to throw some out.

Li Shimin said, "What do you mean is to send an envoy?"

"Not an envoy." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "It is to ask Baekje to set up a special official office. This official signature can be called the Supervisory Office or the Censorate, etc. The chief officer is sent by our Tang Dynasty. It is best to choose from the Censor. After arriving in Baekje, he will be responsible for recording the movements and situations of the Baekje court, curbing the rituals of all officials in Baekje, detecting and arresting illegal Baekje officials who are corrupt and abused. At the same time, under this Supervisory Office, there must be a special prison for interrogation and detention. Of course, in terms of name, this Supervisory Office is still affiliated with Baekje, but all officials are assigned by the Censors sent by our Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin frowned, this... Baekje may not be willing to accept it. This does not mean that half of the judicial power was handed over to the Tang Dynasty?

Of course, Baekje is in a turmoil now, and it is difficult for them to not accept it.

"In addition," Chen Zhengtai continued: "We need to open a port in Baekje, so that our Tang Dynasty can establish a water camp in Baekje, so that our Tang Dynasty can station some naval troops. Now the navy in Baekje has been wiped out, and they are now facing the threat of Silla and Goguryeo. My Tang Dynasty is willing to use the navy to protect them, but they will not accept it even if they think they will."

"The third is to allow all prefectures and counties in Baekje to trade with our Tang Dynasty, and even establish commercial halls for our Tang Dynasty merchants to rest and communicate."

"Your Majesty, with these three points, this is the reality of vassals, not that our Tang Dynasty only took the Baekje country as the title." Chen Zhengtai seemed to have had a deep consideration of this.

Seeing that Li Shimin was still thinking, he patiently analyzed: "There is one advantage in establishing a supervisory authority. On the one hand, it can monitor Baekje's monarch and ministers and make them completely obey our Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, it can also punish some corrupt and abused people and win the hearts of Baekje's people. If someone rebels against the Tang Dynasty, he can also pinch it in the name of greed. Establishing a water village can allow our Tang Dynasty's navy to protect the merchant ships from Baekje, and also allow our Tang Dynasty to obtain a navy and have a new supply point. Once the Tang Dynasty starts war with Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty's navy can

By dispatching from Baekje and Sanhaihuikou at the same time, Goguryeo could not take care of each other. Moreover, stationing military and horses could also prevent Baekje from acting recklessly, which would ensure the authority of the Supervisory Office. Third, establishing a chamber of commerce was a large-scale trade in Baekje. During the trade process, our Tang Dynasty merchants could go deep into their prefectures and counties, and establish stable contact channels with local aristocratic families, nobles and even county officials. They could not only make money, sell treasures from our Tang Dynasty, but also make the most grassroots prefectures and counties in Baekje, and they could no longer be separated from our Tang Dynasty."
