The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair with a serious expression on his face.Seriously said to Xue Benchu: "What do you want to say, Aiqing?"

Xue Benchu ​​respectfully knelt down on the ground, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, I will go to court at Maoshi. But now it is Chenshi, and His Royal Highness still hasn't seen the scene. I am so slack, I think His Majesty should deal with it seriously."

After hearing Xue Benchu's words, Li Yuan still had a calm look on his face, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.

This boy, I go to court at Maoshi, you brat is actually later than me, even if you have that idea, you have to wait until you raise it today before you act, but now you have been ginsenged, right?

In a flash of lightning in his mind, Li Yuan had already decided to punish Li Jiancheng a little, otherwise he, the emperor... ahem, what is the majesty of being a father. [

"En!" Li Yuan nodded seriously.

Seeing Li Yuan's reaction, many officials in the hall included those who were in deep thought, some who were excited, and some who were indifferent.

Li Jiancheng, the fourth son of the Li family, had little time to interact with these officials, so not many people knew him; therefore, most officials knew Li Shimin, the second son, better.

Therefore, some officials are close to Li Shimin, they can be regarded as Qin Wang's party. Although Li Shimin didn't say anything, these people already think so in their hearts.Since they chose to follow Li Shimin, they naturally wanted to do something, so Li Shimin had to be in the position, so that they could get the ideal position in their minds.Otherwise, how would they care who Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin should be the emperor?

Now, Li Jiancheng was late for the court and was punished by Li Yuan. For those officials who supported Li Shimin in their hearts, they were naturally happy to see his success.

Li Yuan glanced down and understood the expressions of most officials.Then he cleared his throat and said, "Since no one has any opinions, let's discuss the matter of punishment."

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Li Yuan had just finished speaking when the eunuch outside the door was already shouting at the top of his voice.

As the words fell, Li Jiancheng, who was dressed properly, walked in from the door unhurriedly.

Seeing Li Jiancheng's behavior, some officials sighed in their hearts.And Xue Benchu ​​stared at Li Jiancheng as if he saw an enemy.

Li Jiancheng touched his nose in bewilderment. It seems that he is not handsome enough for men and women, right?However, Li Jiancheng was not in the mood to talk to him at this time, straightened his clothes, went to his place and kowtowed.

"See Father Emperor!"

"kindness!"

Li Yuan responded lightly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "My lord, since you're here, it's easy to talk about it. Just now the inspector Mr. Xue said that you, as the crown prince, failed to attend the morning court on time. How do you explain it?" ?”

Only then did Li Jiancheng feel relieved. It turned out that the other party looked at him because of this, which made him startled.

Then Li Jiancheng took a step forward, as if he had been greatly wronged, and shouted, "Father, my son and minister do everything for the world, so what's wrong?"

"Hehe..." Xue Benchu ​​laughed angrily, but then realized that this was in the main hall, so he kowtowed in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, I was agitated for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Hehe, I will forgive you for some trivial matters." Li Yuan waved his hands and said so-called.However, he was very eager to let Xue Benchu ​​cause Li Jiancheng some trouble.

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't blame him, Xue Benchu ​​suddenly gained confidence, turned around and stared at Li Jiancheng fiercely, saying, "As the crown prince, His Highness arrived late in the morning and failed to set an example for all the officials; then he even blatantly said that everything was for the sake of the world, how can such words and deeds be worthy How can His Majesty's cultivation be worthy of all the people in the world?" [

Li Jiancheng looked at Xue Benchu ​​furiously calmly, and after he finished speaking, he said lightly: "Master Xue finished speaking, can I allow Ben Gong to say a few words?"

"His Royal Highness wants to speak, how dare I stop you?" That's what Li Jiancheng said, but Li Jiancheng could see that he didn't seem to mind his status as a prince.

Li Jiancheng also knew about Xue Benchu.

Because this person was also recommended by Li Jiancheng to Li Yuan, Xue Benchu ​​was originally a former Sui official, and Li Yuan didn't really want to use him.However, Li Jiancheng finally agreed to appoint this person with emotion and reason.To put it bluntly, Xue Benchu's ability to handle affairs is pretty good. To put it bluntly, he is rigid, but to put it bluntly, he insists on principles.Therefore, he offended many people.However, Li Yuan also saw that Xue Benchu ​​was sincerely for the world, so he was very tolerant towards Xue Benchu.

This is also one of the jokes that Li Yuan is going to watch Li Jiancheng. Your own people come to visit you to see what you have to say.But Li Yuan also knew that once Li Jiancheng arrived, it would probably be impossible.

"May I ask Mr. Xue, do officials have to think clearly, so as to ensure the correctness of the decisions they make?"

"Of course!" Xue Benchu ​​nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Since this is the case, in order not to make wrong decisions and to keep your mind awake at all times, necessary sleep is essential for me. How dare I ask Mr. Xue what I did wrong?" Li Jiancheng asked awe-inspiringly.

After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Xue Benchu ​​was stunned, and all the officials above the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

I was snoozing and missed the early court, and I could still say such a reason. All the officials had to admit that they once again realized the sharpness of their prince.

Li Yuan already knew that Li Jiancheng was fine when he heard that Li Jiancheng was coming.But now, after hearing his words, and thinking about what he said to himself last night, it suddenly became clear that his son was about to make a move.

Xue Benchu's face was flushed by Li Jiancheng's words. Although Li Jiancheng's reasons were ridiculous, Xue Benchu's job was only a supervisor, so his ability to debate was much weaker. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it.I could only stretch out my fingers angrily and kept saying "you, you..." non-stop.

Li Jiancheng apologized secretly in his heart, there must be obstacles to reform, Xue Benchu ​​bumped into his gun, and he couldn't blame anyone, but Li Jiancheng thought about it and compensated him when he thought about it.

"Humph!"

Li Jiancheng was about to take advantage of the problem, but he didn't expect a cold snort to interrupt his train of thought.

Turning his head to look, he saw an old man with snow-white hair and beard, staring at Li Jiancheng dissatisfiedly.This old man is none other than Kong Siying, who claims to be the 24th generation descendant of Confucius, and is also a great Confucianist.

He came out of his seat and said with righteous indignation: "Your Highness, it's not that I want to criticize you, but your behavior is really bad, Your Highness. The supervisor told you about your shortcomings, and the prince didn't think about it." Repent but quibble."

Kong Siying regarded Li Jiancheng as the prince and directly criticized him.

Seeing that it was him, Li Jiancheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Kong Siying as if looking at prey, which made the latter take two steps back in horror, but thinking of his identity, he still stood there firmly, snow-white His beard rose and fell with his anger.

Why does Li Jiancheng think of Kong Siying so much?There is also a story here.

In his previous life, Li Jiancheng had three hatreds for the ancients.Which three hate?

The first hates the Mongolian invasion, which abolished the civilization of the Song Dynasty and dragged the prosperous Chinese economy into a dead end; the second hate is naturally the Manchu Qing Tartars who are similar to Mongolia. Although they defeated the Ming Dynasty, they thought they were arrogant It is a strong crime, so it is closed to the outside world, arrogant and knowledgeable, and was eventually beaten into China by foreigners, causing nearly 200 years of damage to China; and the third hate is the Confucianism that binds the people. [

Confucianism, the heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers, has killed many promising young people.Although many sayings of Confucianism are very good, they actually hinder the progress of society.In the final analysis, Confucianism served the feudal monarchs.As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Siying is naturally a loyal representative of Confucianism.

Don't say that Li Jiancheng wants to implement the idea of ​​a hundred schools of thought, just because he is a descendant of Lao Kong, Li Jiancheng will also give him a hard time.

I don't want to trouble you, but you should jump out first, and you will see me later.Li Jiancheng looked at Kong Siying for a while, then turned his head and ignored him.

With a serious face, Li Jiancheng kowtowed to Li Yuan above and said, "Father, for the sake of all the people in the world, I implore Father to delay the morning court time to half past half hour."

"Wow..."

There were several waves of surprises. Li Jiancheng thought that Li Jiancheng's words were just sophistry, but now they are put forward in such a formal way. How can these officials not be shocked?

At this time, some officials began to recall, it seems that when Li Jiancheng appeared before, Li Yuan's expression did not change at all, and he was calm from the beginning to the end. Could there be some inside story?
