Li Shimin was the emperor of the horse and was indeed a wise lord. He knew the truth that he could win the world immediately and not rule the world immediately. The primary issue of governing the world is to select officials. Since he ascended the throne and took special attention to the issue of officials, because only when the government is clear and clear can the people of the world live a good life.

Li Chengqian clearly remembered that after the Northern Expedition in the fourth year of Zhenguan, officials sheltered scholars who cheated on the imperial court. After the case was settled, he said this in a grand dynasty meeting: I have been diligent all day long, not only worrying and pitying the people, but also want you to keep your wealth and honor for a long time. The sky is not high and the earth is not thick. I am always diligent in fear of heaven and earth. If you can be careful to follow the law, you will always be as afraid of heaven and earth as I am fearing heaven and earth, not only will the people be peaceful, but you will always be happy. The ancients said: "The wise have more money to harm their ambitions, and the foolish have more money to make their mistakes." This statement can be a deep warning.

If you are greedy for personal gain, you will not stop destroying public laws and harming the people. Even if you do not hear anything, will you be afraid of the center? If you have too many fears, you will also cause death. How can a real man be greedy for money and property to harm his life and make his descendants feel ashamed? You should think deeply about this statement."

In addition to reminding all the ministers to enforce the law impartially, Li Shimin's other meaning is to first be villains and then gentlemen. Let's say hello to you first, and don't wait until the incident happens before asking me to express favors, so as not to put the emperor as a person who is punished without advice.

Taking the case that happened in Yongchang a year ago as an example, so many officials were sentenced to death from top to bottom, and the women and children who should have been exiled and had no officials were killed. No one in the court's civil and military officials stood up to plead for mercy. Even Fang Xuanling, who has always been known for his generousness, did not say a word. This shows how secretive the emperor's anti-corruption is.

Just after this year, the censor Ma Zhou received a letter of complaint from Xiao Corrupt. The official involved was Chen Wanfu, the Right Guard General, who was hunting and illegally fed the post house to several stones for the war horses. Ma Zhou didn't have to think about it, and this was caused by Chen Wanfu's arrogant and domineering offending people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten this because of these money. This was obviously a big deal.

The Zhenguan Dynasty had only four cents of rice. The little thing Chen Wanfu took to exchange pots of good wine in Chang'an City was not enough, but he caught up with such a stall. Don't you want him to die? But according to the rules of the court, this chapter cannot be suppressed, and it is in the limelight. Ma Zhou had to report the three or two cents of money to Zichen Hall.

It was a coincidence that when Ma Zhou came, the emperor, father and son, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and several other important officials were watching the copper coins sample of the newly cast "Zhenguan Yongbao" this year. Surprisingly, the emperor who was on the bride of the corrupt official did not ask someone to take Chen Wanfu, but instead scolded the prince in anger.

He threw the notebook directly into the prince and shouted loudly: "Admiral soldiers and strong generals, these are all the arrogant soldiers and strong generals you brought out. Chen Wanfu was originally unhappy, but now he will be even more arrogant when he made military achievements in the southwest. Today, he dares to seize a few buckets of bran without military discipline. Then will he dare to force the palace tomorrow? Look at Duke Dai, when did the soldiers and generals plunder when he led the troops? Look at what kind of soldiers you are carrying?"

Seeing the emperor so angry, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng and others who came in to impeach him were stunned. Why, what a big deal, why did Your Majesty make such anger? Could it be that Your Majesty was afraid because the prince's military achievements were too strong and he wanted to reuse Wei Zheng's old tricks of King Wei and severely suppress the prince?

The ministers in the hall were all human beings, and they all knew the cruelty of the imperial power struggle. The emperor would have to hear some rumors in the court. Alas, Tian Family, once this seed is planted, a bloody storm will be caused by the royal family. Now the King of Wu and the King of Wei should be happy.

Among the ministers, Ma Zhou was indescribable. He had to shoot the arrow just now, but he didn't have the idea of ​​using Chen Wanfu's incident to attack the Eastern Palace. Besides, the prince treated him well on weekdays. If this was because he made His Majesty's desire to decree and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was shaken, then he would be unable to forgive his crimes if he died!

Just when everyone was worried about the abnormality, Li Chengqian, who was kneeling beside the dragon case, did not have the time to think so much, because he was busy looking at the emperor's feet. You can think of this trick of writing with your feet, which is enough. After a long time, Li Chengqian understood four words: stop the matter and protect the person.

Li Chengqian leaned over to apologize. The reason why he noticed the emperor's abnormality was because the emperor emphasized that they were the good soldiers he led again. This is not a problem. They fought a war with us, and they did not belong to the Sixth Ranger of the East Palace. They had a relationship with him, which was the ordinary subordinates of generals. It was a bit biased to say this!

And this is not the temper of the father. Didn’t he say yesterday that he should eliminate all evil things when dealing with corrupt officials? Oh, I understand. If he killed the general who had just made military achievements because of these few bowls of bran, it would hurt the hearts of the soldiers.

Besides, Chen Wanfu turned out to be the captain of the Qinwang Mansion and a retainer from Qiandi. All three brothers died in the Hulao Pass. If he killed him again, he would destroy the last seedling of the Chen family. That would hurt His Majesty's reputation as loving soldiers as his son.

After understanding this, Li Chengqian kowtowed three times cleanly and said respectfully: "Oh, what the father blames is that this is the crime of being absurd by his son. He is willing to accept any punishment from his father!" Yes, let's take the blame, who made us a son?

Before the emperor could speak, Wei Zheng, the second knot, stood up again and said in a silence: "Your Majesty, Chen Wanfu is the general of Jiang Yuandao. According to the regulations of the court, as long as the commander completes the military talisman and general seal at the Ministry of War, there will be no unity between him and the general. Why do you blame the prince for this matter?

Besides, if Li Jing led his troops, nothing happened? From Zhang Bao lied about military affairs to Tuyuhun, was he idle? He also indulged his family and his family to compete for profit with the people in Chang'an City. If it weren't for his contributions to the country and his flaws were not concealed, the old minister would have taken the lead in participating in him."

Wei Zheng's words were traceable and he directly refuted the emperor's words just now. He is different from Xiao Yu. Since he speaks, he has to be on the key points and no one can tell anyone. This is also the foundation of his position in the court for many years.

"Xuancheng, I am teaching my son a lesson. It has nothing to do with whether it is unified or not. Don't be wrong." Li Shimin took the word "有" very seriously, and his expression was extremely serious.

After seeing the emperor's performance, Fang Xuanling's mind appeared, and then stood up and bowed and said, "The old minister thought that Your Majesty's decision was correct. The post station was also set up by the court. It was calculated as the Shangguan family's yamen, and the things there were naturally also from the court.

Chen Wanfu is a general of Jiang Yuandao. If he commits such a crime, the prince is responsible for being the chief executive. The old minister thinks that the East Palace should pay compensation at the price, and then hand Chen Wanfu over to the prince for handling."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is not a big deal. Let's continue to talk about the new money!" Changsun Wuji, who came to his senses, thought about the money in his hand and said with a smile...
