Chapter 481: Cutting Weeds and Roots
Li Shimin seemed very satisfied with this.
All of the officials became much more harmonious all of a sudden.
In fact, his body could not last long at this time, but to some extent, the power was the best XX. His face was still radiant, looking at the ministers and saying, "It seems that the ministers have no objection to this. Since the ministers decided this way, I should follow the good side of the good. This matter has been agreed on, Fang Qing's family."
Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart. He felt that His Majesty's thoughts were hard to guess. However, now that Li Shimin is in danger, he is overjoyed. It is always so easy for Li Shimin to have a difficult situation in this world.
Fang Xuanling said: "I obey the order."
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling with a tired look and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Fang Qing's family."
Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "I dare not, Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness. This is a blessing for the country. You should have a good rest at this time."
"How dare I rest?" Li Shimin stretched his face again, glanced at the ministers again, and then said, "I don't know how many people in the world want to take me, Li Tang and replace me. I have only been sick for a few days and have become like this."
Fang Xuanling said: "It is the prime minister's fault that cannot share the emperor's worries, and I am guilty of death."
Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled a little, "Forget it, it's not your sin. Zhang Qian, please return to Ziwei Palace."
Zhang Qian responded, and he had been worried about His Majesty's body for a long time, so he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare for the car.
When Li Shimin got on the car, he saw all the ministers standing with their hands down, not daring to show off. His eyes turned, but he called Chen Zhengtai to the side and said, "Let the Tiance Army clean up the body, and make my palace messy and evil spirits too heavy."
Chen Zhengtai was stunned and said to himself, Your Majesty, you ordered the man to be killed in the palace. Now you say this?
Of course, he didn't dare to say this directly. He hurriedly smiled and said, "My son obeys the order."
Li Shimin has already boarded the bus with an old god.
So the ministers entered the palace and continued to discuss matters.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, countless eunuchs and soldiers of the Tiance Army were busy. The soldiers moved away the bodies. The eunuchs carried buckets and rags and wiped the blood and minced meat in the palace. However, no matter how they washed, the blood in the cracks of the bricks and stones could not be washed away.
In the hall, the ministers were silent and their faces were different.
Li Chengqian was like a puppet, only Fang Xuanling talked about the agenda, but not many people had objections, and now everyone's minds are not on this.
This time, it was so shocking.
No one would have thought that His Majesty would be resurrected from the dead, just like an immortal emperor. This concept gives people a terrifying feeling.
In addition, it is understandable to kill all Zhang Liang's followers, but they can be directly pulled into the palace to kill people. There is also the fire weapon like killing chickens and sheep, which makes people see people falling down like harvesting wheat. This shock makes people feel even more frightened.
Your Majesty's attitude seems to be more unpredictable than before. His Majesty was willing to listen to some righteousness in the past, but now His Majesty has tried to insult the ministers in a different way.
He is so gentle!
After the court discussion, the ministers dispersed in different ways. When they walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, there seemed to be smoke and blood in the air. The traces of slaughter had almost disappeared. Only when people walked on the floor tiles, they could see the scarlet blood, even the blood, dried up, as if hundreds of lives had never appeared in this world.
But that terrifying scene is engraved in everyone's heart!
…………
On the other side, Li Shimin returned to Ziwei Palace in a carriage, where a doctor had been waiting here to change his medicine.
When the gauze was uncovered, it was found that the wound had not healed, so I quickly changed the gauze with medicine. New blood was also stained with new blood. Zhang Qian, who was watching from the side, said with pain: "Your Majesty, you still have to recover from the wounds with peace of mind, so you can't do this anymore."
Li Shimin lay down and answered the question irrelevantly: "Where is Chen Zhengtai?"
Zhang Qian looked at Li Shimin's face and didn't dare to talk anymore. He hurriedly went to invite Chen Zhengtai to come.
Not long after, Chen Zhengtai and Xu walked into the hall and bowed.
Li Shimin looked up at him and said, "What do you think about today?"
Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Your Majesty the King is back, everyone hopes to return..."
Li Shimin frowned: "I am not talking about this, what I want to say is...What do you think of these ministers?"
Chen Zhengtai was actually quite timid about his father-in-law at this time. To be honest, he was too cruel. Although he liked it very much,... he would inevitably have a little psychological shadow!
Not to mention those ministers, the bloody scene had a profound impact on him.
Fuck it, I'll have to have at least ten days of nightmares.
Chen Zhengtai thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "The ministers have been shocked."
Li Shimin nodded, but said meaningfully: "It is not enough to shock me. I am alive and can shock them, but who can guarantee that I will not die one day? Who can guarantee that they will be honest in the future? I have experienced life and death and know that people will have good fortune and good fortune. In the past, I always felt that time was enough, but now... I find that time is not waiting for me."
Chen Zhengtai nodded: "If a person has no future, he will have immediate worries. Your Majesty said."
Li Shimin said again: "I just thought about it and even wanted to kill several ministers to establish authority, but... I finally curbed this idea. Do you know why?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "Beheading several ministers is just weeding, but even if the weeds are cut, they cannot be burned out by wildfires, and the spring breeze is blown again..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he interrupted Chen Zhengtai and couldn't help but curse: "Damn, I knew you could write poetry."
Chen Zhengtai looked speechless: "Your Majesty, this is not a poem, right? Isn't it wronged me..."
Li Shimin said: "I know what you mean. What you mean is that if you don't eradicate the roots and cut only a few weeds, it will not solve the problem. In the past dynasties, those emperors did not realize this problem. They were also weeding, but soon... new branches emerged from these grass roots, and in the end... not only did not solve the problem, but also suffered backlash."
Li Shimin paused, took a few breaths, and said, "Because it is not enough for aristocratic clans to kill one. They have countless children. Even if they encounter setbacks for a while, they will have a day to recover sooner or later. They have countless land and many divisions, and they can make a comeback at any time. Their relatives are spread all over the world, and their disciples and former officials are even more aware of the number of children. Killing one person and two people will be useless."
"Your Majesty is very much." Chen Zhengtai became serious at this time: "The key to the problem is here, but the elimination of evil is enough. How can it be so easy? With hundreds of years of foundation, how can you just move? Can Your Majesty kill all the aristocratic clans? If so, how many people will be killed, ten thousand? hundred thousand? million?"
Li Shimin seemed anxious.
In fact, what Chen Zhengtai sells is anxiety.
Your Majesty will not live for a few years. These aristocratic families will be deeply rooted sooner or later. Sooner or later, their descendants will still be led by the nose. The prince cannot control these people, and in the future, his other children and grandchildren will still be unable to control them.
The only hope is Your Majesty.
Li Shimin seemed to have thought of something, and then said strangely: "You Chen family is also a clan. Why do you feel so excited when it comes to curbing the clan?"
Ah...this...
Chen Zhengtai looked confused. He found that Li Shimin had a big brain and could always think about problems from strange angles.
If you have something to say, can you just turn around every moment?
But he was really thinking about this issue seriously.
Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said, "Because my son hopes for peace in the world."
He paused and continued, "Since the Han Dynasty, the world has been turbulent for too long. How many people have left at the end of the Han Dynasty? The people live and work in peace and contentment, and only two generations will encounter wars and wars. There is no rooster crowing thousands of miles, and white bones are exposed in the wild. This is the norm in the world for hundreds of years. What a cruel thing. The aristocratic clans rely on their deep foundation and continue their bloodlines to seek their own interests in the war. The new rulers came to the world again and again, and then fell into endless struggles. All of this has been fed up by the people of the world. My sons read history and only saw bloodstains. There is no heroic song. It is just you kill me and I kill you."
"So my son always wondered why this happened? Why is it clear that this Central Plains has been killed to a point where no one has been around for thousands of miles, but there are still people who have developed ambition to invade cities and plunder the land. Why can we clearly focus on production, make the people of the world smile and live and work in peace and contentment. But in the end, only because of the ambition of one family, the farmers forced the farmers to pick up weapons and slaughter those children who are only high in wheels. After thinking about it, perhaps this is the crux of the problem. The world will always give up the hero, and the hero shocked the world and could not be used for two generations. When the imperial power weakens, the court loses its prestige, and the local tyrants breed ambitions. They collude with foreign races, or have done all the mechanisms, and then make the world full of war."
"If... what if... aren't these people?" Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Shimin and said, "If the government orders can be understood, the real ordinary people can express their desire to live and work in peace and work without being merciless by the aristocratic races? In fact, I don't know... after doing this, whether it is right or wrong, or in the future... there may be new contradictions and new reasons for the replacement of chaos. But since you know the crux of the current problem, you cannot pretend to ignore it. A real man in this world says that he will not make a contribution to the world and bring peace to the world for generations? The old man does not expect to bring peace to the world. After all, his ability is limited, but at least... it is good to bring peace to the world for ten generations and twenty generations. After all, he will be better than a person like grass and a cattle and a horse."
"Only in this way, even if the world will be in chaos in the future, people will at least know that a hundred years ago, there was a peaceful world. There was such a emperor and a group of people like me who worked hard for it, no longer cared about the private interests of the people, and did not believe in treating people as fish... So in the hearts of my ministers, success or failure is not important. Your Majesty loves to read history and always talks about taking history as a lesson. But why are your Majesty and your ministers also creating history? Thousands of years later, you will also read the history of Your Majesty and your ministers. Even if you don't seek success or failure at the moment, you should leave an example for future generations. If you fail, you can achieve success or success."
After listening to these words seriously, Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved. He said strangely: "You are such an incomprehensible person."
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, so are you.
"What did you say?"
Chen Zhengtai's desire to survive has always been very strong, so he immediately shook his head and said, "My son is saying that your Majesty is wise."
Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai and did not worry about what he really was, but said with emotion: "I have appointed you as the prince. One is to reward you, and the other is to kill the weeds and roots! But kill the weeds and roots, how can it be so easy? How can it be done easily in all dynasties? "
"Step by step, the first thing is to do is to manipulate their land and money in the hands of the court."
Li Shimin said: "If you lose these, then most of the foundation of the aristocratic race will be destroyed. But... what should I do?"
Chen Zhengtai said: "Your Majesty is the one who leads troops. He should know better how to deal with such people than his ministers. There is a saying that "surrounding three and one are missing," which makes them afraid, but it cannot make them anxious and leave a gap for them. But... what you need to do now is to surround the people first."
Li Shimin became more suspicious and looked at him deeply: "Envice?"
Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. Today, Your Majesty has shocked the ministers and has made them feel anxious. Now there is a new army on their side, which makes them feel afraid. At this time, it is time to strike while the iron is hot."
When Li Shimin saw what Chen Zhengtai said in confusion, he could not figure out Chen Zhengtai's thoughts for a moment.
But I think this guy must have had some conspiracy and was inconvenient to say it at this time, so he looked at Chen Zhengtai coldly and said, "You must be careful. Don't think that you can rest assured as becoming a prince. These people... appear to be timid, but in fact, there is no fuel-efficient lamp."
Chen Zhengtai said: "Yes, my son must obey Your Majesty's teachings."
Li Shimin sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that I would be forced to get to this point. But... well, let me solve the most difficult thing in the world. Haven't I always created miracles since I raised my father in Jinyang? What I can't do even make my descendants even more unable to do. It's better, I'll give it a try. If you have anything, go to the palace to report at any time. This will take a few days to keep your body in your work and do it. But during the process, you must think twice and don't be reckless."
