Chapter 278: To be a prince, you have to learn to stand in line

Since Li Chengqian used thunderous means to deal with Zhou Wang Li Yuanfang outside the Wude Hall, the undercurrent in the court was instantly broken, and those forces that were ready to move went into hiding again when they saw that they could not do anything. In just five days, the situation in the court was like

The surface of the calm lake is as calm as ever.

Li Chengqian would convene a meeting every day in the Hongwen Palace with ministers above the ministerial level. Although it was inevitable that the ministers would have different opinions and disputes would continue, it was in line with the principle that gentlemen unite but differ.

Later, he met with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other prime ministers and important officials in Chengqing Hall to discuss the outstanding matters of the day, and strive to finish today's matters.

In the afternoon, he would go to the Wude Hall to chat with the emperor, and briefly talk about court affairs. Finally, he would return to the Chengqing Hall to review the memorials. This is what Li Chengqian would do in his day in office...

The vast territory makes the monarch worried. Although this is not the first time to supervise the country, Li Chengqian has just now realized how troublesome this complicated state affairs can be. Some things may seem small, but over time, if they are indulged in wanton, they will turn over mountains.

Ah, so I don’t dare to be careless when handling government affairs.

"Yesterday I met Mr. Sun and the imperial doctors. Your Majesty's condition is still stable, so preparations for the Lantern Festival in one month will be carried out according to the original specifications.

Prime Minister, the palace minister's book has been handed over, please pay more attention to this matter. There will be more foreign envoys coming this year than in previous years. This matter is related to the face of the Tang Dynasty, so try not to make any big mistakes." After finishing the words.

, Henglian stepped forward and took the notebook from Li Chengqian's hand, and handed it to Fang Xuanling, who was smiling at the lower right.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will be watching this matter personally, and there will be no mistakes." Such a small matter does not need to be watched personally by the Prime Minister, but Lao Fang is willing to go.

Although the prince is a little domineering, he never bullies his superiors. He respects his meritorious officials and is as diligent as his father. So what if he can share one or two burdens for him.

"Our dynasty is mainly based on farming, and the people live on what the fields produce. Food is their first priority. Therefore, the court should make preparations for spring plowing in advance to prepare for a rainy day. We cannot always improvise.

Cen Shilang, Zhongshu Sheng immediately drafted an edict, ordering all states and counties to take advantage of the ample time to organize local people to purchase farm tools, seeds and other supplies as early as possible. If there are any difficulties, just report them and the imperial court will be responsible for solving the gaps. It cannot be just because

A little something will delay a year's harvest."

Li Chengqian knew with his feet how procrastinating the officials below were in doing things. Everyone was careful when doing things. If there were no decrees from the court to urge them, these people would not be able to remember until their buttocks were burned.

.

When talking about this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but think of the strange governor Dou Kuan. Although he knew that he was a bit delusional, Li Chengqian still hoped that those parents and officials would be as diligent as him in Qingming and Qingming.

After Cen Wenwen accepted the order, Wei Zheng stood up at the right time, raised his hands and said: "Your Highness, in recent days, the ministers in the court have been discussing that Your Highness's treatment of King Wei, Wu, and Zhou Zhou was too harsh. They said

From the point of view of etiquette and regulations, there is nothing wrong with a minister asking his superior about his illness. However, His Highness uses the power of supervising the country, or deprives people of nobility, or guards the palace gates, which is somewhat against the rules.

Although everyone knows that His Highness's actions are to stabilize the dark and unclear situation, it is inevitable that some people will impeach His Highness for his personal morals and unfilial piety. I have several ministers here who have done this."

Li Chengqian had heard some of Wei Zheng's words in the past few days. These people were nothing more than people from Li Tai and Li Ke. He used Li Chengqian's beating of Li Yuanfang as an excuse to spread the idea that the prince was abusing his power to supervise the country and persecute his relatives, so that those who hold the country all day long would

The old masters who uphold etiquette and laws are extremely indignant, so it would be strange not to write a letter of impeachment.

Before Wei Zheng could submit this chapter, Li Junxian, who was waiting outside, ran in and said that Liu Yi, the steward of Da'an Palace, had asked Li Chengqian to come over according to the order of the Supreme Emperor...

"The emperor asked you to come to Xuangu, but did you tell him the reason?" Li Chengqian asked knowingly. He was sure that Zhang Jieyu had gone to cry again.

However, it is no longer the first year of Zhenguan. Li Yuan really should re-evaluate his own weight and see if his influence can protect his lawless son with ulterior motives.

Besides, his intention was the same as that of Wei Zheng and Chen Zhuo. Fortunately, let's talk about it together. I don't have that much time to grind my teeth for the three of them.

Liu Yi was an old man next to Li Yuan. When he saw that the prince of the prison did not accept the imperial edict and go to listen to the teachings, but sat on it and asked himself why, he couldn't help but feel a little sad for Li Yuan. They said that a fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken.

But as for the fallen emperor, he couldn't even control his own grandson.

However, in order to complete his mission, he could only bow and reply: "Back to Your Highness, the Emperor said that it would be okay if Your Highness does not go, so he ordered His Highness King Zhou to be released and his title restored. The Emperor also said

, it is not sinful to visit a sick brother.”

Hehehe... After chuckling a few times, Li Chengqian took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "The emperor has retired to Da'an Palace, and just enjoys the enshrinement of the country and takes care of himself. That's all.

You Gu and other ministers share the worries of your majesty with regard to the affairs in the palace and do not dare to disturb the emperor's purity.

Besides, I am following His Majesty's decree, sitting in the government and acting on behalf of the Emperor. Li Yuanfang and others have ulterior motives in demonstrating in front of them, coercing the mother of the country behind, and depriving them of nobility and imprisoning them is an extrajudicial request, so this person must not be let go.

of."

"It stands to reason that when the emperor summons me, I, my grandson, will definitely go, but you have also seen that I am discussing state affairs with the ministers. I have to bear the heavy responsibility of my family and country, so I can only put public affairs first before private affairs.

So I would like to ask the chamberlain to tell you the reason. After finishing what you are doing, I will go to Da'an Palace to plead guilty." After saying this, he waved his hand to Liu Yi, indicating that he could go back to deliver the errand.

At this moment, the Chengqing Palace was completely silent. All the ministers in the palace looked at Li Chengqian with surprised expressions. They did not expect that Li Chengqian refused Li Yuan's request so firmly. This only confirmed his charge of being unfilial and disloyal.

.

Of course, Li Chengqian didn't understand the meaning on their faces. Being able to make such expressions only showed that they still didn't understand the emperor well enough.

There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. No matter as the prince or his son, Li Chengqian can only make one choice, which is to be unconditionally loyal to the emperor instead of listening to Li Yuan's teachings towards Qin Muchu.

According to the old man's temperament, as long as Li Chengqian enters Da'an Palace, tomorrow all civil and military officials in the dynasty will know how the Supreme Emperor taught him. If the sick emperor knew this, what would he think? This is also what Li Chengqian

The reason why I was laughing just now.

Old Li Yuan was already very good at this trick of flattery and killing. Would he care about Li Yuanfang's life or death? When Jiancheng died, he was not so active.

"Xiang Wei, your majesty's dragon body is recovering, and it won't be long before he can return to the throne and govern. Gu's mission is to use all means to maintain the stability of the court and prevent his sick father from worrying about state affairs."
