Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Entering the prison of the Criminal Department, Li Daozong took Zheng Zhengjin to the cell where Wei Zheng was. The first time Zheng Zhengjin saw Wei Zheng, he looked righteous and worthy of being the biggest troll in history.

"Wei Zheng, someone is here to see you." Li Daozong said.

"Haha, it's the lobbyist sent by Li Shimin again. He killed brothers and brothers, and you are also an accomplice, and you are not a good person either." Wei Zheng responded to Li Daozong.

Li Daozong covered his chest and thought, damn, I am a prince, and the Xuanwu Gate incident has something to do with me.

"Junior Zheng Zhengjin, I have met Lord Wei." Zheng Zhengjin faced Wei Zheng, held his head high, chest out, abdomen in, and gave a standard military salute.

"Who are you? Could it be that you are a lobbyist sent by Li Shimin? Also, I am just a prisoner now, not Mr. Wei. You are so strange in this life." In the cell, the light was dim, and Wei Zheng did not see who Zheng Zhengjin was. Short hair, otherwise a spray is inevitable.

"Master Wei, this junior has already said that his surname is Zheng, his given name is Jiangci, and his courtesy name is Zhengjin. I just think that Master Wei is a great talent and want to meet you." After Zheng Zhengjin finished speaking, he said that he was not a lobbyist sent by Li Shimin. .

"People from the Zheng family in Xingyang? I don't know them!" Wei Zheng didn't want to be related to people from the Zheng family in Xingyang.

"The Zheng family in Xingyang has nothing to do with me." Immediately, Zheng Zhengjin walked towards the empty cell next to Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng asked: "Why are you doing this?"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled: "I ate carp in front of the Minister of Punishment, and then I went to jail myself to experience it."

Li Daozong said at this time: "Master Zheng, if you have any needs, you can mention it to the jailers. I will say hello." He was going to write a memorial and prepare to report this matter to Li Shimin tomorrow.

Zheng Zhengjin ignored Li Daozong and looked at Wei Zheng, wanting to see what Wei Zheng thought of Zheng Zhengjin eating carp.

"Does Mr. Wei think it is wrong for me to eat carp?" Zheng Zhengjin asked.

"Of course it's wrong. The imperial edict has been issued a long time ago. The entire Tang Dynasty has banned the hunting of carps. Don't you know?" In this era, the Confucian concept that if the king wants his ministers to die, they must die is still instilled in their minds.

"Wei Gong, if you say such a thing, then I can think that Li Yuan is a foolish king!" Zheng Zhengjin's words made Li Daozong stagger outside the cell and almost fell to the ground. After all, if such treasonous words were spread, When he went out, he was really worried that Mr. Zheng's head was not safe.

Wei Zheng was not in a hurry. He stared at Zheng Zhengjin closely and asked, "Oh, then tell me the reason. I am willing to hear the details."

"Carp, what does the Li family have to do with it? Nowadays, the people in the world are hungry. The Tang Dynasty has been established for nine years, and there are even cases of people exchanging sons for food in some places. This shows that Li Yuan is not a wise king. I Do you agree with this statement?" Zheng Zhengjin's words sounded outrageous, but they were also reasonable.

Zheng Zhengjin saw that Wei Zheng no longer spoke, but seemed to be silent, so he asked again: "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, surnamed Yang, but it seems that he did not prohibit the killing of sheep for meat, right?"

Li Daozong couldn't sit still and said angrily: "How can Emperor Sui Yang be compared with His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "Li Shangshu, don't worry. Let's talk about the merits and demerits of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang."

"Then let's talk about his faults first. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was arrogant and extravagant, taxed heavily, and went on a military campaign. He conquered Goguryeo three times and recruited farmers to build the Grand Canal. I admit this, and you should also admit it, since he We have already mentioned his faults, so now let’s talk about the achievements of Emperor Sui Yang. First: building the Grand Canal and linking Suzhou and Hangzhou to use waterways for transportation. This canal will be praised by future generations thousands of years later.

Second: Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty established the imperial examination. It is said that there are no poor families in the upper grades and no clans in the lower grades. This is because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty offended the aristocratic families, which eventually led to the collapse of the country.
Have you two ever thought about a question, that is, if Emperor Sui Yang conquers Goguryeo three times, if the first one is successful, think about it and think about it carefully. "

Wei Zheng and Li Daozong both fell into deep thought after hearing this, wondering whether what Zheng Zhengjin said was correct. After all, if he had won the first time, Emperor Sui Yang would not be remembered by future generations. A faint king, but an emperor throughout the ages.

The first point and the second point are real achievements.

Zheng Zhengjin continued: "The imperial examination system will be used by future generations for thousands of years."

Li Daozong's whole body was numb. Li Yuan was from the same clan as him. Damn, this is a rhythm that is going to heaven.

Li Daozong angrily scolded: "Who are you and what is your purpose in coming to the prison of the Ministry of Punishments?"

"Li Shangshu, don't be angry. There is no need. I am just discussing the matter." After speaking, he turned his eyes to Wei Zheng and asked, "It is the ninth year of Wude. Emperor Li Yuan has ruled the Tang Dynasty for nine years. Except that he cannot Does he have any other merits for eating carp? In the world of people who win the hearts of the people, Li Yuan has almost lost the hearts of the people. Rather than saying that the Tang Dynasty was ruled by Li Yuan, it would be better to say that the Tang Dynasty was ruled by a noble family.

After that, Prince Li Jiancheng was that stupid thing. Did he love the people like a son? Can he be a good emperor? Does he have the courage to get rid of the noble family? "

Wei Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to refute Zheng Zhengjin's words, but nothing came out.

Zheng Zhengjin smiled slightly and said: "If you think Prince Li Jiancheng can be a good emperor, then I will first ask Mr. Wei if he knows how Luo Cheng died."

Luo Cheng, Jizhou Silver Spear, was unparalleled in bravery, but it was a pity that he was forced outside the city gate by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Not only did he starve, but he even died from random arrows piercing his heart. Just because the person Luo Cheng was loyal to was King Qin Li Shimin. And Li Jiancheng wanted to weaken the ability of Li Shimin's generals.

Li Daozong and Wei Zheng happened to be insiders on this matter.

The generals under Li Shimin also knew this, otherwise they would not have killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's dog head so decisively during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Wei Zheng was speechless and fell silent.
The whole cell was very quiet, and Zheng Zhengjin was not busy. He wanted to wait for them to understand, especially Wei Zheng, a good minister through the ages. After all, there is a thousand-year gap between his ideas and theirs.

Wei Zheng himself was born into a poor family, and he had talents that could control the world, but he was never reused.

He was thinking at this moment, if the former prince Li Jiancheng could listen to his advice, whether today's Xuanwumen Incident would not have happened. If Li Jiancheng could listen to his advice, whether all the people in the world could live and work in peace and contentment.

Li Daozong was stunned, and then asked: "Boy from the Zheng family, what do you mean by saying so much?"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled slightly, showing eight white and neat teeth, and said calmly: "I just want to explain to Mr. Wei that I entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for killing carp."

Zheng Zhengjin took off the schoolbag he was carrying on his back, then opened it and pretended to take something out of it.
