Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 688
Li Chong asked everyone to write down the future development plan of Datang. In the blink of an eye, it was August of this year.

Li Zhong still remembered that in August last year, he was still waiting for Qing'er to give birth in the football city.

What about this year...

He quickly sat on the throne.

After sitting on the throne, Li Chong couldn't help but understand deeply at this moment why after the replacement of the throne in all dynasties.

The new emperor always has to replace all the old ministers.

to be honest!
It's because of the distrust of these ministers.

I don't think they are good people.

The evaluations of future generations are always from the perspective of future generations. For example, Yue Fei has been a loyal minister all his life. Why is Song Gaozong still worried about his self-respect for supporting troops?
There is also Gui Zhong, the Guiyi Army, who is closer to him, but has changed beyond recognition in the northwest.

These are actually representatives who are not trusted.

As for saying...

Why they are not trusted is actually very simple.

after all……

This person in power has neither the eyes of heaven nor the ability to predict the future.

Who knew that people like Yue Fei and Gui Yijun would not become new warlords?

In fact...

Today, Li Chong is also facing such a problem.

But it’s okay!
Although he knows that his power is very weak, at least he will not kill people casually or belittle people casually.

When you really become your Majesty, you will truly understand what it means to be alone.

Inexplicably, there is always a worry that unruly people want to harm me.

This is probably the reason why in the history books, as soon as Li Xian succeeded to the throne, he immediately put his father-in-law in a high position, and even said, so what if I give the throne to my father-in-law.

of course!

It was precisely because of these words that in the end... Li Xian was also deposed by Wu Cairen.

Li Zhong had actually considered whether to promote Luo Shen as well.

But after thinking about it...

Forget it!

Just think of him as naive and ignorant of politics.

……

this year.

The good eldest son of Xiaosheng has learned to talk.

but……

It is only limited to those very short words.

For example, let him say Aye.

Maybe he can only say ah, or yea.

I thought he would be cute if he could say refrains.

Li Chong just wants to say it, and he can say it himself!
For example: Xiaoxiao.

But it is true that this big boy's eyes are quite smart, which is quite like him.

Just what kind of name should I choose?

This made Li Zhong feel a little worried.

At last……

Given that this has been dragging on, it's not a big deal.

then……

Li Chong named the other party Li Mao.

It means that our Tang Dynasty is prosperous.

then……

The name of this daughter, the daughter born to Li Zixin, is Li Rong.

There seemed to be many girls named Rong, and there seemed to be quite a few from Tang Dynasty.

Only when Li Zhong saw the two of them would he let go of this troublesome matter between the DPRK and the Central Government.

of course!

Li Chong also knew very well that as long as he could figure out the whereabouts of his second uncle and third uncle.

Even for ordinary ministers, it is not easy to rebel against him.

therefore……

Now his second uncle and third uncle are in Yangzhou, assigned to work by Li Zhong.

The name is urging craftsmen to build ships that can go to sea, but in fact...

But let the craftsmen bind them.

And these two guys, of course, can't work seriously, they will definitely be eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, delaying things.

At that time...

right!

If it's just eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, then that's fine.

If you have any thoughts of rebellion...

Then don't blame Li Zhong for being unkind.

In addition...

Li Chong also sent Zhao Lifei's nephew to be the supervisor.

Just take a look...

Will there be any chemical reaction?

It would be great if the Zhao family could also be served in one pot.

Speaking of...

It is said that when a new official takes office, there are three fires to burn. It seems that I have not burned any fire. Then will the civil and military officials in the dynasty not respect me too much?

Until six months later.

Only then did Li Chong discover such a problem.

Then he asked Prime Minister Pei Du.

Of course, when I ask, I will definitely not be so direct. I will ask myself, if I succeed to the throne at a young age, will the ministers think that I am too young to take on any big things?

Pei Du is an upright and capable man.

Naturally, he didn't lie to Li Chong.

So Pei Du’s answer is:
"but……"

"It's not right to say that His Majesty has no abilities."

"after all……"

"His Majesty has done a very good job in terms of culture."

Li Chong also asked: "Then what do you think, how can people know my power?"

Pei Du didn't expect Li Zhong to ask such a question.

Can be regarded as an upright and capable person.

He just wanted to say...

Such things as monarchy cannot be done randomly, it can only depend on the timing.

It would definitely not work if you just kill someone or ransack their home.

Li Chong said:

"such a pity!"

"These are peaceful times."

"It would be fine if it were a troubled time."

"I can personally lead the troops to fight."

When Li Zhong said this, Pei Du was so frightened that he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

If he knew the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Then he will definitely say why he behaves like the Ming Emperor.

Li Chong asked Pei Du again: "Can you lead troops to fight?"

Pei Du then said: "Although I have never led soldiers to fight, I have seen soldiers training and read some military books."

Li Chong: "I didn't expect that he is still an all-rounder. Then you can't waste all your knowledge. You have to teach your son everything you know."

Pei Du looked puzzled.

Li Chong: "You are the prime minister, I can't let you go out to fight. In fact, I really need people who can and know how to fight to open up the Western Region for me."

"What kind of Datang do you see in the future?"

Pei Du: "..."

Pei Du didn't dare to talk casually.

Li Chong also said: "I am familiar with history books and know that every dynasty and every generation cannot last forever as King Qin thought."

"You know why?"

Pei Du: "Why?"

Li Chong: "Because... when there are no key breakthroughs in science and technology, all dynasties have only known about involution."

"To put it in layman's terms, the cakes are only so big and everyone has to eat them."

"In the beginning, the country was just established, there were few people, and there was little corruption, so there was enough to eat, and even good food."

"But at the end of a dynasty, the population increased, and so did the corruption. There was not enough to eat."

"Then naturally, it's time for this dynasty to die."

"Actually...if it hadn't been for the head of the Li family who founded the Academy of Sciences."

"The Tang Dynasty you see now may already be a turbulent and turbulent Tang Dynasty."

"Do you want to see the Tang Dynasty in turmoil and turmoil?"

Pei Du said with integrity: "Of course I don't want to see that."

Li Chong: "Then we have to make this cake bigger, so big that even if the population increases and corruption increases, we can still survive."

"Of course! This official is corrupt and needs to be kept under control."

"It's just that... we won't lay off so many people at once like when Aye took the throne. Instead, whenever there are reports, we will deal with them."

"We cannot let the people of Tang Dynasty lose confidence in the imperial court."

"Do you know history?" "..."

Then...

Li Chong also talked to the other party about the history that the other party knew.

For example...

Comment on historical figures.

If you want to know clearly what kind of person a person is and whether it is consistent with your own three views, then you can understand by looking at what the other person thinks of the sages of ancient times.

For example, what do you think of Confucius?
but……

It seems that these people also have some problems.

That's what.

I really admire the ancients too much.

When Li Chong asked Pei Du if Confucius had any shortcomings.

Pei Du actually said: "I don't know either, it should be no."

of course!

Right!

Nor can he be allowed to jump directly out of the limitations of the times.

It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that, 100 years have passed, and this science and technology still seems to have made some big developments.

but……

100 years is still too short.

Maybe, it’s just not enough time.

At least……

Datang's current science has already taken the first step, using data to speak for itself.

……

What's the best way to build a good relationship with your courtiers?
They must have held each other, talked all night long, and slept together.

You look like Liu Bei, that's it!

of course!

Since Li Zhong didn't like men, he didn't have to talk all night long or fall asleep.

The most he said was to ask his ministers to come over and chat whenever he was free.

It’s not just limited to governing the country, anyway…

You can talk about anything, and then say whatever comes to mind.

even……

You can paint or talk at the same time.

aside...

This living man also recorded all the conversations between the two.

Be reasonable!
With Li Zhong's big mouth, he would often say some words that were considered outrageous in this era. Really, Li Chong had to endure too much in order not to say these words.

It's the end of the year.

I don’t know what’s going on inside, but at least on the surface, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are still in harmony.

Li Chong also thought about it...

The quickest way to make a subject loyal is to let the subject's daughter enter the palace to serve him.

Anyway...

There are a lot of places in his harem, and there are dozens of vacancies for talented people.

But finally thought about it!

He still restrained himself from this impulse.

after all……

If the number of people in the harem increases, there will naturally be more problems.

Now Li Zhong feels that his harem is quite good and no one is jealous.

But if dozens more people come in...

Then it's hard to say.

in fact……

As an old pervert.

Thinking about it this way, he felt a little excited.

But be sensible!
He had to put this matter aside for the time being.

Let’s not talk about it yet…

This is actually the same as asking a woman to enter the palace to serve him, and it also depends on whether the family is worthy of marriage.

If the marriage is simply because you hope the other person will be loyal, then the marriage actually doesn't mean much.

At least no matter what, they must be equally matched in strength, or at least have some strength that can threaten themselves, then maybe they will consider it.

Moreover……

He had already told Changsun Qing that he would not take concubines after marrying her.

He is a man who keeps his promises.

and so……

Doing this...is not good.

If you say that it was Changsun Qing who took the initiative to say that, then...hehe, maybe you can consider it.

……

This year.

In the court at this time.

There are Liu Yuxi, Han Yu and others acting as Wei Zheng, and Pei Du acting as Fang Xuanling. All I can say is...

The politics are pretty passable.

It seems that there is still a little clarity.

But there is one thing to say.

People like Liu Yuxi and Han Yu are very different from Wei Zheng.

If Wei Zheng wanted to fight, he would only fight against Li Er.

Liu Yuxi and Han Yu are different, they like to quarrel with others.

So-and-so lived a luxurious life, was cruel as an official, and abused his power. They complained to Li Chong every time.

Li Zhong had to pretend, you two have nothing to do day by day, right?
But in the end, I reluctantly asked someone to check it out.

As long as they are found out, there will be no shortage of emotional drama, but there will also be no shortage of punishments.

Anyway...

Just follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The maximum penalty for corruption was death, but Li Zhong had to remember that they and their ancestors had also made contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so they were all exiled.

This can be regarded as easing the conflicts between Li Chong and these corrupt officials.

of course!

People like Liu Yuxi and Han Yu who snitch on others cannot do this.

at this time……

It is estimated that many people are thinking in their hearts how to kill these two guys.

but……

It must be thanks to people like Liu Yuxi and Han Yu, especially Liu Yuxi.

If it weren't for the other party, Li Zhong wouldn't have been able to eliminate so many corrupt officials.

For Li Chong...

Of course it is better to have one less corrupt official than one more.

only……

We must also be vigilant and not allow them to develop into party strife.

of course!

one way or another……

People like Liu Yuxi and Han Yu will not be able to hold high positions in the future.

Let them serve as supervisory censors, which is already the limit of their officialdom.

If they were allowed to hold high positions, then everyone in the court who did not agree with them and seemed to have moral flaws would probably be removed by them.

it's over...

Yuan Zhen actually wanted to imitate the two of them and also reported to Li Chong.

He was smart enough to think that as long as he did this, His Majesty Li Chong would like him.

It can only be said that Yuan Zhen thinks too much.

Li Chong directly ordered him to go home and think about it for three days.

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but be confused for a moment.

The second day of shutting up and thinking about things.

Bai Juyi went to see him.

Yuan Zhen also analyzed it in front of Bai Juyi.

"By the way...does Your Majesty have any prejudice against you and me?"

Bai Juyi just wanted to say, for you it should be, for me... it shouldn't be.

Anyway...

It's been so long, and His Majesty doesn't seem to have mentioned him much.

but……

Your Majesty asked him to bring something today.

The two opened it and took a look, and sure enough!

Let them write novels again!

"Does His Majesty not know our ambitions and talents? Should we write an article to Your Majesty to explain it properly?"

Bai Juyi also said: "You write. After you finish writing, you will probably be detained for another three days."
