Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 57: Dealing with the Crown Prince? My Wei Palace will definitely help!

Tai Chi Hall.

All civil and military officials gathered together.

Li Shimin only needed a quick glance to tell who had come and who had not.

"Where's Lee Hyo-gong?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Li suddenly fell ill two days ago and has been resting in his mansion ever since."

Li Shimin nodded and said casually: "Send some nourishing food to the Hejian Palace and arrange for two imperial doctors to treat him."

"Yes."

"let's start."

As the voice of "If you have something to report, report it early. If you don't, leave the court" rang out, officials came out one by one to report on various government affairs.

Li Shimin dealt with the issues raised by these officials if they could be resolved on the spot. If they could not be resolved, they would be put on hold for the time being and a decision would be made after discussion among the three provinces and six ministries.

The matter was handled quickly, but when an official from the Ministry of Personnel walked out, the atmosphere in the court gradually became weird.

"Your Majesty, the Left Thousand Oxen Guard Lu Lin is not doing his job properly and neglecting his duties. The Ministry of Personnel has decided to remove him from his position as a military officer. Please review this, Your Majesty."

Cui Renshi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the Ministry of Personnel.

On the way Lin!
But he is from the Cui family!
Li Shimin frowned, took the memorial and read it, then smiled and said, "It seems that Zhao Jie has been working diligently since taking over the post of General of the Central Army, and has lived up to your recommendation and my trust."

"The Qianniu Guards are not only responsible for the security of the palace walls, but also for the public security of the various districts in Chang'an City. They must not be neglected or slacked off."

"Lu Lulin is not worthy of being appointed, so he should be dismissed from his post and another good man should be chosen."

"Your Majesty is wise."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Cui Renshi's heart sank.

From the time Zhao Jie found out Lu Lu Lin's weakness, to the time he went to the Ministry of Personnel to report the matter for review, it only took one day to arrest Lu Lu Lin!
It was so fast that they didn't even have a chance to react!

Cui Renshi's eyes passed over Li Chengqian, and he suddenly laughed, holding a tablet and stepped out, "Your Majesty."

"Lord Cui, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Crown Prince has been recruiting talents and building Chongwen Hall in recent days to train talents for our Tang Dynasty. Has it been effective now?"

Hear the words.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, "Thank you Lord Cui for your concern. Chongwen Hall has indeed been built and can train talents for the Imperial College."

"Congratulations, Prince, and congratulations, Your Majesty."

Cui Renshi complimented with a happy face, but Li Shimin felt something was wrong in his heart.

but.

You still have to keep a smile on your face.

Cui Renshi continued, "But, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty selected scholars, and most of the talents trained in Chongwenguan came from the Imperial Academy?"

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows. This guy is no good.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What does Cui Aiqing mean?"

Cui Renshi: "Your Majesty, I think that since your Majesty's original intention of establishing Chongwenguan is to cultivate talents, then when countless scholars are being enlightened, you should lay a solid foundation."

Many officials nodded thoughtfully.

For scholars to be enlightened and acquire knowledge, without a solid foundation, even a famous teacher will find it difficult to teach such a stupid person.

"Our Great Tang is rich, and all nations come to pay tribute! The Ministry of Revenue records that there are 2.8 million registered households. Every year, there are more than 100,000 newborns, but only tens of thousands of students can be educated."

"Moreover, among these tens of thousands of students, only one out of a hundred can pass the regular and special examinations."

"If Chongwenguan can gather ideas and formulate an educational measure, it will greatly increase the number of future pillars of our Tang Dynasty."

"at the same time."

Cui Renshi glanced at him with a smile. Kong Yingda, who was not far away, said quietly, "It would also help to shut up the people. Otherwise, there would be rumors that the Crown Prince does not respect saints."

“Don’t respect saints?”

"That's right. Chongwen Hall recruits talented people, but only Confucius is not welcome. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's good friend Su Chen has also publicly humiliated the descendants of saints."

Cui Renshi sighed, "Your Majesty, people's words are scary."

It’s really not a good thing!

Li Chengqian stared at Master Cui Ren coldly.

"Kong Jijiu..."

Li Shimin looked over and asked, "Do you have any different opinions on Cui Aiqing's proposal?"

Kong Yingda, who had been like a tumbler, now opened his cloudy eyes in a trance, as if he had just woken up.

Just as Kong Yingda was about to speak, he yawned loudly, which made Li Shimin's eyes twitch.

Kong Yingda apologized and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and always feel sleepy. Please don't blame me."

Li Shimin waved his hand nonchalantly.

Kong Yingda continued: "Maybe there are such rumors in the market, maybe not, I don't pay too much attention to it."

"However, Lord Cui's proposal is not bad. It is a cause for celebration for the Crown Prince and the Tang Dynasty." "Once successful, it will be enough to prove that your majesty was wise in establishing the Chongwen Academy. It will also be enough to prove that the Crown Prince made the right choice, which is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."

"As for those so-called rumors, they will naturally fall apart on their own."

After hearing what Kong Yingda said, Cui Renshi knew that the matter was settled. He smiled slightly and returned to his seat holding the tablet.

Du Chuke looked at Cui Renshi with a smile, then at Kong Yingda. Has it finally started?
Since we are dealing with the prince, then my Wei Palace must lend a hand!
"His Majesty……"

Du Chuke walked out holding a tablet in his hand. "Kong Jijiu was a descendant of a saint, but he did not hold any position when Chongwenguan was established. This matter has long been spread among the people."

"Mr. Cui's proposal is the best way to dispel the rumors. At the same time, it can also resolve the issue of Su Chen annoying thousands of scholars. This means we can kill two birds with one stone."

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

For a while.

One after another, the ministers spoke up in secondment.

Changsun Wuji frowned and glanced at those who spoke out in support.

It can be divided into three parts.

One is someone who has a good relationship with the Cui family, another is someone from the Prince of Wei’s Palace, and the last majority are officials who studied under the Kong family!

With so many people standing up, Li Chengqian was in a difficult situation.

Do less and make fewer mistakes!

My uncle still sees it clearly.

Li Chengqian sighed, and then Li Shimin's voice rang in his ears, "Crown Prince."

"My son is here."

"What do you think?"

"I will do my best to promote education."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "Just be attentive, there is no need to rush the matter of education."

"If it works, I will reward you generously. If it fails, don't take it to heart."

"Thank you, Father."

Li Chengqian bowed.

Li Shimin asked again, "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?"

It was quiet in the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin: "In that case, let's adjourn the court."

After saying this, Li Shimin stood up, glanced at Cui Renshi and the other two, then left with his hands behind his back.

"Your Highness, please stay..."

Fang Xuanling called out softly and hurried to catch up.

"Room Prime Minister."

"Your Highness, please seek the assistance of Lord Kong on this matter."

Fang Xuanling said hesitantly, "Su Chen is Su Chen, and the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince. Kong Jijiu will certainly not embarrass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian smiled, he understood.

Like his great uncle Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling hoped that he would sit steadily in the Eastern Palace and not cause trouble.

Let everything take its course.

but.

Li Chengqian refused, "How can I be sure of the chancellor? I can't do it without the help of the Kong family."

"Prime Minister Fang, I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead."

"Hey..."

Looking at Li Chengqian's hurried back, Fang Xuanling shook his head helplessly.

The prince is still too young.

Prince's residence.

"Brother Su, Brother Su, I'm here to see you."

Li Chengqian rushed into the prince's residence, but did not see Su Chen.

Upon questioning, it was learned that Su Chen had been missing for the past few days and always went out early in the morning.

This made Li Chengqian feel puzzled.

What the hell is he doing?

"The prince is here."

A laugh came from behind. Li Chengqian looked over and saw that it was Su Chen who came back with Sun Qiang.

Li Chengqian's face was serious: "Something happened!"
