Datang Longya

Chapter 15
In November of the ninth year of Wude, Emperor Chan was located in the crown prince and entered the Supreme Emperor.

He ascended the throne in Xiande Hall, established the eldest son as the prince, and the eldest grandson as the queen, amnesty the world, and changed the year name to "Zhenguan".

From time to time, the landlord of the building in the world presented the head of Jieli as a congratulation. He went to the Great Joy, gave ten thousand gold, and named him "Duke of the Kingdom of Yan".

Li Shimin and Leng Feng sat opposite each other in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, and Li Shimin smiled wryly when he recalled the agreement.

"I originally had an appointment with the young master to talk on the dragon chair, but now the Tai Chi Palace is occupied by the Supreme Emperor, so I can only renege on my promise."

Leng Feng looked at the map on the table and said, "The chair in the Tai Chi Palace is just called the Dragon Chair. In fact, as long as you sit on it, it can be called the Dragon Chair."

Li Shimin's gaze followed Leng Feng's finger on the world map, and he smiled wryly at the territory of Tang State.

Sit back and watch the sky!It wasn't until I saw this map that I realized that my country didn't occupy much space on any "Asian continent".

Li Shimin closed his eyes and suppressed the greed in his heart. After a while, he said to Li Chengqian who was standing behind Leng Feng: "Chengqian, the land in the world is big enough for future generations to ride. Lay a solid foundation for future generations!"

Li Chengqian bowed and said yes.

Li Shimin clasped his hands and asked, "Young Master Leng promised me to be passed down by word of mouth, and also took Xieli's head as a congratulatory gift, but did you imply that I would annex Eastern Turks?"

Leng Feng closed the world map, replaced it with a small map, and said, "You sent Tang Jian, Duke of Ju, as an envoy to the Western Turks, and you probably wanted to unite with the Western Turks to carve up the land of the Eastern Turks."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Don't worry too much, it's enough to push the national border below the grasslands. The most important thing now is to govern the country. Although your previous tax reduction and exemption gave the people a surplus of food, there is no countermeasure for the refugees in the mountains and rivers."

Li Shimin immediately said: "Then I will decree that all refugees who come out of the mountains and become naturalized will be exempted from taxes for three years!"

Leng Feng nodded: "This is the best. I bought another piece of land next to Tianxia Building, and I plan to build a Tianxia Academy to teach new-style mathematics and other knowledge. The money has to be paid by the treasury, and the grace is from above! Some time in the future , I will devote my energy to the academies and farmers, and initiate a reform of farming.”

In a society where imperial power is supreme, it is a serious crime to invite people to buy people's hearts. It is more appropriate for the court to do things like open up people's wisdom.

Li Shimin said bitterly: "There was a drought in the four prefectures of Hebei, and the national treasury is now so empty that you can look in the mirror. I am afraid that the money will still come from the internal treasury."

The inner treasury is actually the emperor's private small treasury. Leng Feng is sure that even if the national treasury is sufficient, Li Shimin will contribute to the inner treasury, and then publicize that the emperor wants to fund Wanmin's academy, and now he can't eat enough.

The emperors are all qualified actors!

For example, now, Li Shimin is wearing short clothes and leading hundreds of generals and generals to practice archery in the Imperial Garden, without a single guard around him.

Leng Feng opened his bow and shot an arrow, and the triangular arrow was firmly nailed to the bull's-eye of the target not far from Li Shimin.

After changing the flat-headed arrow to a three-edged arrow, Leng Feng's archery became more and more accurate. After receiving Zhang Wen's guidance, although he could not reach Zhang Wen's level, it was still no problem to shoot a target.

Li Shimin drew an arrow on a target, and while pulling it out, he lectured: "I spent the money for building pavilions and pavilions for disaster relief, and the people are hungry. Even if it is a delicious delicacy, I can't taste it. It's not that I don't like to enjoy it, but I don't enjoy it now. Wake up! Our country is full of hungry wolves, and every time the Turks go south, it is a disaster for the people on the border. Now we practice our skills diligently, and then we can use them on the battlefield to protect the people from being invaded!"

All the soldiers knelt down on one knee and bowed their hands in promise.

This was a very successful speech by Li Shimin as a leader, but it happened that Wei Zheng and others knew about it.

Above the court, Wei Zheng pointed at the generals and scolded them for being disrespectful, for daring to ask the emperor to help them draw arrows like soldiers.

Feng Tongren, the governor of Hanzhou, heard that the emperor led his generals to shoot arrows in the palace, and stepped into the dangerous place of the arrow target with a body of ten thousand gold. With a blow on his beard, he rushed to the court under the pretext of going to Beijing for business.

He is an official outside the capital, and he can only enter the palace after being notified.

After entering the palace, Feng Tongren greeted the emperor, knelt down and did not get up, and directly remonstrated: "I heard that your majesty led all the generals to practice archery in the palace, and even drew arrows from the target by himself. I am terrified. Anyone who shoots arrows There are people who act recklessly, Your Majesty is in danger! According to the law of my Tang Dynasty, whoever holds a sword in the place where the emperor lives should be sentenced to death by hanging. Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to fall down on these reckless people!"

Li Shimin said slowly on the throne: "Feng Aiqing has a heart. However, a real monarch should regard the whole world as his home. As long as he is within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he is my subject. I am willing to treat my subjects sincerely." , how can you be on guard like you are guarding against thieves!"

As soon as the words fell, the generals immediately knelt down and kowtowed loudly.The civil officials also bowed to the ground and shouted in unison, my emperor's sage.

After dealing with several policies to appease the refugees, Prince Shao Fu Kong Yingda jumped out:

"Your Majesty, since the crown prince has been established, why don't you move to the East Palace and accept our careful teaching?"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, who was listening to the government, and Li Chengqian immediately understood. Although he was still observing politics and could not express his views, he had to stand up if his sect was involved.

Li Chengqian came out, and said calmly: "Gu is now following the training of Duke Xun and the landlord of Tianxialou, and has no time to live in the East Palace. Kong Shaofu is a well-known master, but Gu worships Duke Xun as his teacher, so it is impossible to do so. Kong Shaofu wishes."

Li Chengqian's words were very sincere, and many courtiers nodded in praise.Not only respecting the teacher, but also being very respectful to Kong Yingda, the prince's performance is very good!
Kong Yingda's beard blew up: "Absurd! Absurd! The landlord of the world? He is just a reckless person! Such a trafficker is just lucky enough to be called the Duke of the country! It's really... It's really... shameful to be with you!"

absurd!Traffickers and pawns!Shame and company!

Kong Yingda's voice echoed in the court hall...

"presumptuous!"

"presumptuous!"

Li Shimin went up against the crime, and Li Chengqian even pulled out his saber and glared at Kong Yingda!

Ever since the day he heard that his master gave him a blood transfusion to save him, Li Chengqian swore in his heart that he would definitely regard his master as his father!

Hearing such slanderous words about Master now, if Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, was not the first to stop Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian would definitely jump on this old man and give him a knife!

Kong Yingda was terrified by Li Chengqian's instant anger, and sat down on the ground with a plop.

Wei Zheng acted in time, intervening between the two of them, intending to maneuver, but seeing that Li Xiaogong had stopped Li Chengqian, he rushed out again, so he could only bite the bullet and play: "The minister impeached the young prince, Fu Kong Yingda, to speak nonsense in the courtroom. , I have no eyes on the king. The prince entered the court hall with a murder weapon, and he almost committed murder in the court. It is not enough for these two people not to be punished!"

Li Shimin sat back, pondered for a while before opening his mouth: "Kong Yingda was rude at the court, took the title of the crown prince's Shaofu, and sent him to teach in the Imperial College to reflect on his mistakes. The crown prince wanted to commit murder in the court. Battle forty! Send me back to Tianxialou to contemplate my mistakes behind closed doors!"

The two eunuchs lifted Li Chengqian expressionlessly and dragged him to the side hall. The sound of the spanking on the buttocks was very clear!This is not holding back at all!The courtiers were terrified!
Wei Zheng went out of duty again: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is young, forty boards are too much! I dare you to ask your majesty to spare the crown prince's punishment!"

Li Shimin remained silent.

Although Kong Yingda was terribly frightened, she couldn't bear to hear the voice, so she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty's eloquent words, but today is the old minister's slip of the tongue, and the old minister is willing to take the blame for the crown prince!"

Li Shimin remained silent.

As the prime minister, Fang Xuanling never spoke much, and after looking at Du Ruhui, he also knelt down: "I am also willing to bear the responsibility for the prince!"

When the courtiers saw that the leader had done this, they all fell to their knees: "I am willing to take the blame for the prince!"

Li Shimin just nodded.

After a while, Li Chengqian came limping over with blood on his pants.

Walking straight in front of Kong Yingda, Li Chengqian saluted slightly:
"Mr. Kong, I was rude earlier."

Kong Yingda hurriedly supported Li Chengqian, and then knelt down straight: "The old minister made a slip of the tongue to slander the prince's mentor. The prince is not rude. Such behavior makes the old minister ashamed!"

Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has always been known for being upright and upright. Seeing the courtiers' praise, he immediately went out to play: "Your Majesty, the crown prince knows his mistakes and can correct them. There is nothing good about him. I ask Your Majesty to order a reward!"

Li Shimin said: "The crown prince made a mistake. Although he has corrected it, the emperor's crime is the same as that of the common people. There is no need for rewards, and the rest of the board will be exempted!"

"A prince who breaks the law is the same as the common people" was put forward by the legalist Shang Yang Han Feizi and others, but no emperor has ever taken this sentence seriously.

Today, Li Shimin brought out Leng Feng's "Emperor who breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime", and the effect is remarkable!The courtiers bowed down and praised the emperor's sageness.

More than ten days later, a memorial from the magistrate who congratulated this statement appeared on Li Shimin's table.

Amidst the praises of literati, the year of Zhenguan kicked off...
