I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 438: The Princes Enter the Capital

After being crowned as the crown prince and officially serving as regent, Li Zheng will also start a series of changes to the Tang Dynasty.

Martial arts.

It will also be gradually implemented in the military as a pioneer.

of course.

Loyalty comes first.

……

In the political hall.

The court meeting had just ended.

The father and son sat in the council hall as usual.

"Father, this is the list of generals selected by Qin Jiansheng and Chen Xuanli."

"Look at it."

Li Zheng sat at the table, took out a list from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Just make your decision. The world will be yours from now on. I'll decide what to do. These people will be arranged by you and will take orders directly from you." Li Shimin smiled and was too lazy to look.

"it is good."

Hearing his father say this, Li Zheng did not act pretentiously and simply put the memorial aside.

Li Zheng naturally understood that this was his father gradually handing over power to him.

"I heard that you are going to send Li Ke out to gain experience." Li Shimin suddenly said.

"Yes, father, this is also his own wish." Li Zheng replied.

"It's a good idea to let him go out for experience so that he can be your right-hand man in the future." Li Shimin smiled and saw through Li Zheng's purpose at a glance.

"Father is indeed very attentive and can see my purpose at a glance." Li Zheng gave a thumbs up.

"Speak of it."

"This year, Datang is really blessed by God."

“The whole country has a good harvest.”

Li Zheng changed the subject and said with a smile.

"Yes."

“The whole country has a good harvest.”

"The weather is good."

"The people can live a good life this year." Li Shimin was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

At today's court meeting.

The Ministry of Revenue also reported the situations reported by various places, which made Li Shimin very happy.

“The world has a good harvest, but I don’t know how much of it will actually fall into the hands of the people.”

"How much has been embezzled by those powerful people?"

Li Zheng said meaningfully.

"Can't you make me happy, kid?"

"Have you thought of a way to deal with the annexation of the powerful and wealthy?" Li Shimin asked.

this problem.

He has been thinking about it for too long, but there is no way to change it. After all, it involves too many things. Once it is moved, the whole world will be affected.

"Nothing else."

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, destroy before you build."

"The whole world must be changed, otherwise the people of the world will suffer greatly." Li Zheng said seriously.

"It seems that you really have an idea in your mind."

"No matter what, if you really have an idea, just go ahead and implement it. I will support you." Li Shimin said with a smile.

Li Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Father. I already have some ideas about how to govern the country in the future. However, we must eat one bite at a time and implement national policies step by step."

"Now that the reduction of military power has been decided, the next step is to provide support for the royal family."

"Then the fields, the imperial examinations, and everything else need to be changed."

Li Shimin was stunned: "Is there a problem with the imperial examination?"

"Examiners were corrupt, there was cheating in the exam hall, there were loopholes in the system, the quota was small and the procedures were imperfect. There was also interference in the imperial examination by the powerful, who used their influence to seek benefits for their cronies or students, which in their eyes undermined the fairness of the imperial examination."

"There are big problems with the imperial examination system in our dynasty."

"We'll talk about this later."

"I want you to tell me in detail about these drawbacks and how to solve them." Li Shimin was deeply rooted in his heart.

At this time.

"Report."

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"Prince Yong has returned to the palace and requested an audience." Liu Lin, deputy commander of the Yulin Army, walked into the hall and made a report.

"As expected, Old Ten is the fastest."

"It's in Dengzhou Prefecture."

Hearing that one of his sons had returned, Li Shimin smiled and said immediately, "Announce him." "I obey your order." Liu Lin withdrew immediately.

Not a moment.

A very young man, about the same height as Li Zheng, walked quickly into the council hall.

It was Prince Yong Li Lin, the tenth among the princes.

Once inside.

Li Lin knelt down respectfully and said, "I, your son Li Lin, pay my respects to your father."

"Haha."

"Get up."

Looking at his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Li Shimin had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, father." Li Lin stood up slowly.

His gaze fell on Li Zheng, with a strong curiosity in his eyes.

It seemed that he wanted to see who Li Zheng was and why his father valued him so much.

After looking at Li Zheng for a while, he turned to look at Li Shimin: "Father, is my brother okay?"

Li Shimin nodded: "It's okay, but he's still in a coma."

"Brother, is there still a chance to wake up?" Li Lin asked worriedly.

The princes were not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict, and they were not allowed to enter the capital without any business.

After most of the princes were enfeoffed, they could only return to Beijing once every two or three years.

Moreover, Li Shimin also set rules that the princes were not allowed to meet each other or communicate secretly. Once discovered, it would be a serious crime and the throne might be directly abolished.

This was also done by Li Shimin to prevent the princes from colluding and disrupting the imperial power.

"Li Zheng has more say in this matter."

"It was Li Zheng who saved your eldest brother's life back then." Li Shimin said.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, I can."

"that would be great."

Li Lin nodded in relief after hearing this, and then asked, "Father, I should be the first one to come back, right?"

"Dengzhou is closest to Chang'an, so you are naturally the first to arrive."

"In the next few days, everyone should return to Chang'an one after another." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Uncles, my thirteenth and fifteenth brothers are also coming back." Li Lin looked worried.

The next few days.

Chang'an City will be very lively.

All the dozen or so vassal kings who are guarding the country outside will come back.

These people are all Li Zheng's uncles and brothers. Although he is most familiar with Li Daozon and Li Ke among them, he has hardly seen the others.

Moreover, this time when the prince returns to the capital, there may be a lot of excitement.

Li Zheng had thought of these a long time ago.

"Appoint the crown prince."

"Hold the power of supervising the country."

"This is the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, and he is only one step away from the throne."

"This kind of position should be considered as an official title, and I can get a lot of treasure chests at one time." Li Zheng thought secretly in his heart.

Now he is the General of Cavalry, and he does not inherit the title of Duke.

However, after Li Shimin announced his identity publicly in the court, his position of general and the title of duke became completely insignificant.

The position of crown prince completely surpasses all other official positions.

but.

If the prince really does count.

Logically, then Li Zheng could directly receive four treasure chests, or even five.

Think about it.

Li Zheng was very much looking forward to it.

"Report."

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"Prince Jing has entered the palace."

Soon.
