I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 223 Wei Zheng's rebellious period has come, Li Shimin's sincere statement, subdue! (35)

With a jerk, Li Shimin stood up!
"Your Highness, relax, relax."

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said comfortingly,
"Don't follow his way."

He turned his head to look at Wei Zheng, and said with a half-smile:

"Wei Zheng, you said that His Highness can't tolerate others mentioning today's events, so don't you mention it now? And you made it so ugly."

"If His Highness can tolerate your bad words, then your second reason is untenable?"

Wei Zheng was taken aback.

This time he was defeated.

Li Shimin's expression suddenly recovered.

"Yes, I hear you are right."

He snorted coldly,

"You mention this matter now, and I will not blame you, let alone kill you in anger."

"I can tolerate people like you, but can't I tolerate the officials?"

"This second reason is self-defeating!"

Under Xu Fenglei's reminder, Li Er also reacted quickly.

This old boy just stepped on his own tail to observe his own reaction!
Don't let him lead you by the nose!
Wei Zheng: "..."

Now, he really couldn't refute, otherwise he would be contradicting himself.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing him deflated, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a smile, saying,
"Tell me your third reason!"

"Hope it's not as flimsy as this second reason!"

Wei Zheng slightly cupped his hands.

"The third reason is the most important reason."

He didn't lose his aura because of being deflated for a while, and he was still full of energy,

"Your Highness has been running the army abroad for a long time. Although I, Wei Zheng, am a civil servant, I also led the army to fight when I was in Wagang in the past."

"In war, the most important thing is the fighter opportunity. The so-called fighter opportunity is fleeting, and the commander must act arbitrarily in order to seize the opportunity and defeat the enemy!"

"After many years of marching, as a commander, he will inevitably develop an attitude of being the only one who speaks his mind, and he is the only one who respects himself, and the soldiers under his command will never dare to disobey. Anyone who dares to disobey, or who disagrees, can be dragged out of the barracks immediately and beheaded! "

"But this kind of posture is absolutely undesirable when used in governing the country!"

These words made the generals nod their heads slightly, which was regarded as approval.

After all, Wei Zheng has also fought in battles, whether it was during the Wagangzhai period or in the Tang Dynasty, he has had a record, and all of them are not bad, especially in suppressing the rebellion of Liu Heita in Hebei. We know that Wei Zheng has made great efforts in it.

There is nothing wrong with what he said at the moment.

"Governing a country is different from running an army. Governing an army requires one person to make decisions and the whole army obeys! But running a country requires brainstorming, and listening will tell you."

Wei Zheng paused for a while, then said,

"Since ancient times, the emperors and sages of the Ming Dynasty have never been arbitrary. They must have listened to the opinions of their courtiers and even the common people! Which prosperous age was not created by the emperor and his ministers together?"

"Sage kings like Yao and Shun are not ashamed to ask questions from their subordinates. They even asked farmers about agriculture and fishermen about water affairs. Only then did they achieve a prosperous world of great harmony."

"Running an army can only be ruled by one person, and running a country can never be ruled by one person!"

"Your Highness, if you govern the country with the method of governing the army, and the generals disobey you, you can behead them. But if there are straight ministers who speak out and advise you, and talk about the gains and losses of the government, if you also behead them and refuse to listen, no one will dare to speak out in the long run! There will also be chaos! So my second reason is actually not wrong, and in the end it is still Kanglong who has regrets."

"Therefore, the final destination of the military government must be the downfall!"

Li Shimin's expression sank slightly.

It has to be said that although Wei Zheng's words were blunt and even a bit harsh, he was indeed a rare talent.

"You are very reasonable. I agree with these three reasons. A military government ruled by military generals will surely perish quickly."

He looked at Wei Zheng and said in a deep voice,

Wei Zheng's expression changed again.

Although he was able to express these words tactfully, because he had heard Xu Fenglei's praise of Li Shimin just now, he was a little rebellious.

You say Li Shimin is not a tyrant?
Okay, then I have to give it a try and see if he is violent or not!

Therefore, Wei Zheng's every word was unceremonious, all poking Li Shimin's heart, poking his lungs!

But in the end, instead of being furious, Li Shimin accepted his point of view...

This, on the contrary, Wei Zheng couldn't fix it.

Li Shimin stood up slowly and said solemnly:
"However, you have made a mistake, that is - I am by no means the dictator who does not listen to advice,"

"You said that I have been fighting for many years without understanding political affairs and ignoring the sufferings of the people. Then I will send officials to inspect the people and report all the problems I see. I can even visit privately and understand the people's conditions!"

"You said that I am taboo about today's events, so I asked the historian to record this major event in detail, which is called the 'Xuanwu Gate Change'! There is nothing to sway, and there is nothing to hide, and it is revealed to everyone Look, let the world judge!"

"You say that I'm a dictator and don't listen to advice, then I'll appoint you as an advisor and admonisher. As long as I, Li Shimin, have done something wrong, you, Wei Zheng, can point it out!"

"I want you to be my mirror! A mirror to rectify gains and losses!"

Wei Zheng: "?!"

His eyes widened slightly, looking at Li Shimin.

This time, he was really surprised!
Unexpectedly... King Qin, whom he has always regarded as domineering and powerful, would say such a thing!

If this kind of heart is true...it will definitely be the luck of the people in the world!
"I know, you may think that I am talking nonsense and talking too much."

Li Shimin walked up to Wei Zheng and said seriously,
"But I would say, let's wait and see!"

"Facts speak louder than words. This king has always said that one is right! Just look at it!"

His eyes were burning, and his whole body exuded a strong self-confidence!

Under some strange circumstances, Wei Zheng nodded subconsciously, and said:

"it is good……"

Li Shimin smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Since that's the case, you can join me!"

He said casually,

"There is no position for you in the East Palace for the time being, but don't worry, I will definitely let you sit in the most suitable position! Go and use your Wei Zheng's talent!"

"Now, let's just listen in."

With that said, Li Shimin pointed to the people in the chamber, and said:
"You have a lot of prejudice against me. It's not your fault. After all, you've lived in the Eastern Palace for a long time, and you don't know the atmosphere of a monarch and minister in my Tiance Mansion."

"To prove that I am not a dictator, let's start with this meeting!"

Wei Zheng remained silent, just nodded and stepped aside.

The maidservant behind him gave him a small horse, indicating that he could sit down.

"Thank you."

Wei Zheng sat down slowly, actually a little curious in his heart.

He really wanted to know, how did Li Shimin, a general who was uncompromising on the battlefield, hold meetings?
