Chapter five hundred and fortieth chapters red wine and meat smell

The position of "censor" is to find someone. From the highest emperor to the ministers and officials, who do not meet their values, they will be impeached by them and let the emperor deal with them.

As soon as he returned to Linde Hall, Li Chengqian was summoned by the emperor before he had time to get a sip of tea. When he entered the hall, he saw Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou, the censors, sitting on the emperor's lower head. Changsun Wuji, opposite, looked at the two of them helplessly.

The two of them impeached each other, but on the contrary, they were just a large group of people. Among them, the heroes of the Jinyang army, the old subordinates of the Qin Palace, and the children of high-ranking families. Coincidentally, the reason why they were targeted by Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou was only four words: "Extravagance, waste."

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty's national strength has been growing day by day, winning consecutive battles outside, and gaining more and more in the year. Compared with the days during the Wude period, it is naturally many times better. As the days are better, the money is more money in hand, so there is no need to be as tight as before in terms of food and clothing. They try to make up for all the deficits that have been pulled down in the first few years.

But this ordinary diet will always be tired of eating. Now, these princes and nobles eat all kinds of strange things, no matter whether they are flying around the world or running on the ground, the more strange they like, and even more, they use human milk to maintain health.

With such excessive extravagance, the folk customs will sooner or later bring them a wrong way, and at the same time it has brought hidden dangers to the country. I have been thinking about enjoying all day long. Who can still have the energy to share the worries of the court? Therefore, Wei Zheng and the other two believed that they should join the trend of the officialdom and sounded the alarm for them, so that they should not know what they were doing.

Li Shimin thought it was true that as the emperor, I would examine myself three times and always be wary of the cause of the Sui Dynasty. Do those who are in charge have to understand the good intentions of the good saints? Let’s look at the prince, as the crown prince of a country, strictly restrain his desires in terms of food, clothing and consumption, and isn’t it to save people’s strength?

It’s okay to have big fish and meat, but you can spend money to catch strange animals to eat. This not only wastes a lot of money, but also loses human lives. Scratching on the mouth is so important, more important than human lives, ridiculous!!!

"I remember that Xuancheng once wrote a memorial, and there is a saying in it that I think is very reasonable: When talking about people, one must value loyalty and goodness and despise evil and flattery. When talking about systems, one must avoid extravagance and frugality. When talking about goods, one should value grain and silk and be cheap and rare. I personally wrote this memorial on the screen of the bedroom. I woke myself up sooner or later, and should not be extravagant and use the people's power excessively."

"They are playing well now. I haven't done anything yet. They are trying hard to commit evil. Okay, can you play, right? Ma Zhou, go and send them all to me to the palace, and I will give them clear stomachs!"

What is difficult to serve? Li Shimin is the best example. He wants to make others loyal to the king's affairs, and wants to make others thrifty in the family. Anyway, it is just a saying, you have to be like me, otherwise even eating is considered a traitor. For the emperor's approach, let alone Changsun Wuji is helpless, even Li Chengqian, as a son, can't bear to look at him. He is too ungrateful!

Women get married and dress up and eat, and everyone is going to be an official to be rich and prosperous. They are not monks, so it is impossible to avoid the three-meat rise! Besides, people spend their own money, and the origin is reasonable and legal. Although they are a little extravagant, we can't just scratch them! Doesn't extravagance mean that they have no ambition? Some officials don't have this group of people, and they can't be clear about it. Just turn back.

"Your Majesty, this advocates frugality is a good thing and a virtue, but just because the officials spent their money, they called them into the palace to clean up. Isn't this a bit of a disagreement?"

Changsun Wuji stood up at the right time to advise. He understood that the emperor's clear stomach was not as simple as the words. It was definitely not the emperor's character if he didn't peel them off. Although the emperor is the supreme emperor and the lord of all people, he cannot over-reproach the law-abiding officials. This is to offend people and it is too unreasonable.

Wei Zheng was used to being poor all his life. He lived a simple life like a monk or a Taoist priest. He felt uncomfortable when he saw others living well. In the words on the market, he was crazy about being poor and wanted to bite a few times when he saw anyone.

The censor Ma Zhou, who was born in a poor family, was favored by the third rank in a very short time and became a third-rank official. He lived in eight places and opened a yamen to build a mansion. He was full of energy. As a person, he was arrogant when he gained power, and he felt uneasy when he saw others being arrogant. In this case, he hit it off with Wei Zheng and became a member of the emperor.

"Auxiliary, I have always been generous to my ministers, especially the heroes, so the treatment given to them is higher than that of a year, but this is not their reason to be presumptuous." Li Shimin put down the teacup in his hand and replied lightly.

Seeing that the emperor refused to accept his advice, Changsun Wuji gave his nephew a look, but Ma Zhou didn't understand it, but he couldn't hide it from him, who had fought with Wei Zheng for twenty years and used the emperor as a gun envoy. This old guy was tired of living and his heart could be punished.

Li Chengqian of course understood what it meant by his uncle's little moves, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Wei Zheng and his uncle are really a pair of live treasures. No matter when they reach the end, they have to pinch them. How old is it? As for it!

However, he still has to say what he should say, after all, the father and emperor have no importance in his hands. If this is caused by life, it will be too unworthy.

"Father, I think what my father said is to clear the stomach and intestines and cut it to the point. I wonder if my father meant to do this... Let the ministers know that food is hard to come by, and every trace is obtained by the people's efforts!"

Li Shimin originally planned to fight, but it was difficult to alert people without using the Divine Practice, but after hearing Li Chengqian's words, a breath in his heart came out. Of course, he understood that his son was making up for him, so he nodded repeatedly and said that this is what I thought.

After Wei Zheng and others retreated, Li Shimin stroked his beard and sighed: "Gao Ming, you see that Wei Zheng's farmer advised him to change his path. He made me feel relieved because of what Linde Hall said before. This is a silly mouth!"

"Father, Wei Xiang is a clean and upright person, dares to speak and act. It is a blessing for the country to have such ministers. It is not nice to speak honestly, but it is beneficial to the country. Sometimes the ministers are unwilling to listen, but when they think about it, they can benefit the people by taking a little bit of anger, which is also more cost-effective than buying and selling."
