Chapter 224: Ministers’ advice

*********, subscribe, subscribe.

======================

The prime ministers and a group of important ministers finally met Li Zhi.

The first person to speak is Li Jingxuan, who served as prime minister for many years. He has a personality that few people really understand. However, he usually values ​​fame. Whether it is a hypocrite or a real gentleman, he at least loves his own feathers on the surface. Therefore, the royal family and the Li family in Longxi cannot be included in the bloodline. Li Jingxuan merged the clan into Li Degong of Longxi. It is also related to his reputation.

If the prince had not opened up this matter, he could have pretended to be deaf and dumb. It was originally an internal palace matter and had little to do with the outside world. However, when the prince was uprising and ended up like this, the prime minister also dereliction of duty, so he felt pressured. Not only that, if the matter was solved unfairly, you can imagine how the old man who was more loyal to the prince came back and mocked himself.

I have to say it.

He said: "Your Majesty, I have a discussion."

"Speaking of it," Li Zhi frowned and said. His illness was slightly healed. He was forced to call him by these prime ministers, and he knew that there was no good idea to advise him. But his son's move was too ruthless. It was because these prime ministers did not advise him and he had already reached a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, I will issue an edict immediately to stop building two channels."

"Why did Li Qing say this? I have never said it."

"Your Majesty has never said that, but the more you complete the two channels of the prince, the greater the achievements and the more famous it is. This is a blessing for the country and the blessing of all people. If Emperor Gaozu Taizong knew about it under the nine springs, he would have to smile and close his eyes. However, Your Majesty's fear is even more serious."

Anyway, the prince has made the words indirectly, and no longer said it clearly together. Pei Xingjian and others all lowered their heads and wanted to laugh. Li Jingxuan said again: "Your Majesty is always the king, and Your Highness is always the crown prince. Fighting cannot be fought for Your Majesty. The more taboo it is, the more it is the villain. I guess your Highness will not be able to suffer soon. Only now, the new canal must be stopped. The country and the country are just small matters. Your Majesty is sick, and it is not a heroic and heroic in his early years. Your Majesty has the ability to do so. Once the canal is stopped, the crown prince cannot make meritorious. Then there are two more strategies. Your Majesty wants the prince to be Zhou Quan for his whole life, and to tune the singers from the Western Regions to the prince to play the pipa and zither all day long. The singing and dancing of the indifference of the Southern Chen, the corals in the South Sea at night were hung in the palace of the East Palace, and the beautiful jade hanging of the Kunlun prince's sleeping, entertaining the prince's ears and ears. Then, from Liaodong, the fast-traveling of the flying dragon meat

, The East China Sea sent people to catch sea cucumbers and shark fins, and presented them to the East Palace. The fast horses took the fresh lying from southern Fujian, and the tigers rushed to Luofeng from Gaochang to enter the prince's mouth and tongue. Then they selected beauty pages from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, adjusted the color of the West, Jingchu made the beauty of Zhaojun, or the beautiful woman of Hedong and Hebei, or the Western Regions or Persia, sowed the beauties of all races and entered the East Palace to enter the Prince's body and mind. The prince was confused and forgot his duties. This was the only way to protect the prince's life. Otherwise, once the prince left, it was unlikely that the two canals would be repaired, so it would be better to transfer the remaining money from the East Palace and make a palace called Luntai Palace. Then Your Majesty climbed on it and said that there was a report in front of the officials, who wanted to benefit the people and help the border use for thirty, which was a serious trap for the elderly and weak and lonely... He was foolish and confused at the time, and was deceived by alchemists. How could there be immortals in the world? They were all evil! Taking medicine on diet, it was just a few diseases."

He has a good memory and recorded the "Luntai Sin Yi" by Emperor Wu of Han without missing a word.

Then he said to the two historians who recorded the emperor's conversation with the ministers: "Please write down this conversation between me and Your Majesty today and keep it for the ages."

Can this be kept?

But this was originally the job of the Shichen minister. Li Shimin took the initiative to ask the historian to record the history of his killing of his brothers, and it was just a piece of advice! The Shichen began to make records, and Li Zhi was sweating slightly on his forehead.

After Li Jingxuan finished speaking, the second person came on stage. Li Yiyan, who was honest by nature, also began to speak, saying, "Your Majesty, I have another discussion. The Princess Zhou is just a ***, and he is not a few years older than the little princess. The little princess is still acting coquettish in the arms of His Majesty and the prince. The Princess Zhou can understand a little bit. Just because he did not return the courtesy, he was starved to death. The Duke of Zhou is like this, why should he use false reputations to make a false reputation? It would be better for Your Majesty to issue an edict to demote Zhou to Duke Zhou and promote Zhou to King Zhou. Dear friends, what do you think?"

"What Mr. Li said is reasonable," the big bosses immediately agreed.

Li Zhi: “…”

"Also, when Emperor Taizong chose Your Majesty as the crown prince, it was His Majesty's kindness. Even when King Jing, Princess Gaoyang, King of Wu, and others were beheaded, Your Majesty also cried bitterly. Therefore, I have a discussion that Princess Chang Le was favored by Your Majesty in the past and often praised him. Now he was exiled to the capital because of his false false accusations. In the future, there will be a disaster for the good deeds, and he ended up like the Princess Zhou. It would be better for Your Majesty to issue an edict to kill them, so he would come happily, in the name of His Majesty's benevolence."

“…”

Finally, even the ministers could not remember this sentence, but they could not help but turn their backs on their backs and laugh. After Li Yiyan finished speaking, Hao Chujun continued, "Your Majesty was sent to the Eastern Palace when he was a few years old and asked the great scholars of the world to teach. The prince grew up and treated people with courtesy. From the ministers to the people, they all praised each other. This is also the original intention of Your Majesty, and it will not disappoint Your Majesty. However, with the order, Your Majesty immediately went to the barren and malaria-stricken land in the southwest, and defeated the rebels and Tubo coalition forces in the southwest. When you returned to the court, Your Majesty fell ill and dug two canals for Your Majesty, without consuming the national finances, and personally took a light staircase.

He traveled thousands of miles. With the reputation of the prince, he was enough to open a government office to recruit soldiers. However, the prince did not, not only did he not, but even a few close ministers had not been valued because of Your Majesty, and even the ministers who had something to do with the prince were not valued. However, the prince retired and entered the Eastern Palace, and only studied and did not interact with the ministers, in order to avoid suspicion. Advance and retreat, why did Your Majesty always have suspicion? Ten years of trees and a hundred years of tree trees are too much, but it is not too much. Therefore, it is easy to say that if the sun is in the middle of the day, the moon is full, the food will be eaten. I also said, "It is better to hold it and fill it up, and it is better to be yourself. If you look at it and sharpen it, you cannot protect it for a long time. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Among the three, the advice that Hao Chujun made was the most peaceful, which was a long-term idea. Whether it was Li Jingxuan or Li Yiyan’s advice, Your Majesty may not be able to listen. Perhaps Your Majesty is forced to hear it now, but in fact he can see clearly that Your Majesty is afraid and refuses to delegate power. If Your Majesty is willing to delegate power, there would be such contradictions. Even if the Queen is wise and let the Crown Prince catch the power, she will be helpless.

He also said: "The Book of Rites says that respecting the elderly and loving the young are many times. Filial piety is not only a relationship between the superiors and the superiors, but also a relationship between the superiors and the subordinates. As the prince, we must not only be filial to Your Majesty, but also care for our brothers. In the past, Taizong talked with the King of Wei and said that he killed his son and passed it to his brothers. Taizong refused to let the King of Wei establish His Majesty, and for this reason. Even his son did not love his son, so how could he love his brothers? Even if his brothers were not caring for him, how could he love His Majesty? The Princess Zhou's position was originally done by the Queen of Heaven in charge of the inner palace, and it had nothing to do with his ministers, but it was not very important. However, the Queen of Heaven was not other queens, and His Majesty repeatedly made it

In order to get sick, he handed over the affairs of the kingdom to the queen. This year, there is another scholar in the North Gate, and he will be divided into state affairs. If the merits and demerits are not discussed, the right and wrong ministers cannot know. However, how to deal with foreign affairs without fairness in the inner palace? It is reasonable for the prince to get angry with the Princess Zhou, one is brotherly feelings, and the other is the relevant national constitution. Today, the Princess Zhou died tragically due to fault, and tomorrow the princes may also follow his footsteps. Besides, the King of Zhou was humiliated to the relatives of the outside world, which is not a good deed. If Your Majesty thinks about the disaster of the country in a hundred years, I will not talk about it. I would like to ask Your Majesty to think twice again."

“…”

"I also know that Your Majesty is in doubt. Although there are cases of rebellious sons killing fathers and lords in ancient and modern times, they are rare. It is said among the people that Emperor Yang of Sui poisoned Emperor Wen to ascend the throne, but it is true that Liu Shao of the Southern Dynasties killed Emperor Wen. However, the crown prince even cared for his brothers so much. Could it be Yang Guang and Liu Shao? This year, his Majesty is unfathomable, and I have no way to advise him. However, there are many discussions among the people, and villains rolled up their sleeves to watch and wait for the big change to come. I am very scared. After a hundred years, the country will undergo countless changes. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can read historical books. There are many history that are quite similar to Your Majesty's actions today..."

The next sentence is hard to say, unless you don’t want the emperor named Li to be the emperor, but let your wife and relatives rule the Tang Dynasty.

“…”

After a long time, Li Zhi replied: "It was not what you all beloved. This was because the eunuch misunderstood the Queen's will and did something wrong. The country is rarely prosperous in a few years. Why do you have to be like my son and make trouble?"

Without answering, I had to shirk responsibility.

When Zhang Wenguan heard this, he said, "If so, why did I hear that those eunuchs were safe and sound? I don't know where the Princess Zhou was imprisoned in the eunuch province, but the eunuch province is not like other places in the palace. There are many eunuchs living in it, and there are many noisy places, and no one is walking around in every corner. Why is a living person starving to death? Although I am not talented, it is fair to uphold the law. I dare to say that I never implicate the innocent. Dali Temple can also have the right to manage the inner palace cases. Your Majesty, please allow me to investigate and solve the case."

Zhang Wenguan used the saying that being humble is not just a modest. He handled more than 400 cases in less than ten days in charge of Dali Temple, which made many unjust cases clear. The most important thing is to hold the law fair, and the criminals who punished the crimes had no complaints. It has not been so far, but later it was changed to Shizhong. The prisoners in various prisons under Dali Temple were crying loudly when they heard his re-appointment. The prisoners who were convicted after he tried and found that they had a deep affection for the person in charge, which can be said to be a rare and rare thing in the world. Only Bao Zheng in later generations can do this, but Di Renjie had the ability to handle cases, and the word "equal" was not as good as that.

If Zhang Wenguan is the one who can be compared with this case, there is no other candidate in the world who can be tried, but can this case be tried?

Li Zhi opened his mouth but couldn't answer.

But he cannot be said to be a foolish monarch. At this time, as an emperor, it is not bad. At least he can listen. Generally, the emperor cannot do it. He is just sick and has lost his judgment ability. He has been unreasonable for a long time. He asked his wife to say something and feel it is reasonable, so he obeyed his wife's arrangements. Now, several prime ministers also feel it is reasonable, so he resented his wife.

In fact, after Li Wei opened up the matter, he thought about it carefully and felt that the real daughter-in-law who starved the third child to death was doing badly. It was either Empress Wang and the others, either you killed me or I killed you. I really didn’t know the fate of Empress Wang and the others? I knew that there was no way to reconcile it. Since I killed it, I also killed it, so I followed my wife’s heart.

Now that he is fighting against his daughter-in-law, he is not a life-and-death enemy, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with it.

His wife also kept those bastard eunuchs, which made him dissatisfied. If all of them were executed, he would be buried again with a glorious way of burying Princess Changle's daughter. As soon as the matter was over, he thought of this, and slowly said: "Dear friends, I will deal with this matter."
