Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 257: Twenty-one Plans, the Grand Court Meeting Ends

It was very quiet in the Taiji Hall, with only the sound of flipping through documents.

But it was getting late, the sun was already rising.

But no one cared about their stomach problems.

However, Li Shimin was considerate and invited all officials to eat in the palace.

The eunuchs brought up a wooden tray and placed down some small dishes and a bowl of porridge.

It looks very appetizing and can replenish physical strength.

In the Tang Dynasty, the rules were not actually that strict.

The relationship between the monarch and his subjects was also very casual.

Especially Li Shimin, when he chatted with the central ministers, it was just like chatting about family matters, talking about everything under the sun, including gossip and anecdotes.

It was common for Li Shimin to invite his ministers to dinner when it was time to discuss matters in court.

Li Chengqian learned it and often did so.

Don’t leave until the work is done. I will definitely provide you with meals.

Li Shimin ate the porridge in small sips, his eyes moving among his ministers.

Everyone was eating, but they were looking at the plan content while eating.

Li Chengqian also stopped talking, picked up a small glass bowl, took a few bites, and said, "Gentlemen, eat while I continue to talk."

Li Shimin said: "Since the prince has said so, let's eat and listen at the same time."

All officials have no objection, since the emperor has spoken.

Then just follow the good advice.

But the big guy's movements have to be much slower and gentler.

“Nine: Fully implement free education for children of appropriate age.”

Li Chengqian put down the small bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and began to speak: "Education is a major national strategy, and it is also the foundation of the country and the future of the country."

"It is responsible for talent training and education."

"The Chang'an pilot education has achieved excellent results and formed a set of effective educational experience."

"Now, we need to spread this educational experience and benefit all the people in the world."

"Children of school age must receive free two-level education from the court."

“That is, education at two stages: beginner and advanced.”

"During the full implementation stage, we will gradually ban and prohibit private individuals and groups from running schools and colleges that provide both primary and secondary education."

“Uniform teaching materials…”

There are two stages: beginner and advanced learning.

Extremely important.

The court must take control of these two stages.

Because this is the best period to shape and influence students' three perspectives.

The imperial court would never allow other schools or colleges to interfere in the full implementation of education for children of school age.

Of course, there is no prohibition on schools and academies after these two stages.

Anyway, the court has unified teaching materials, and people's worldviews and perspectives are influenced by the unified textbooks. No matter which school or college one enters, even if the teacher puts his or her own ideas in, it will not have much impact.

Even this can still cultivate rebellious elements.

All we can say is that age-appropriate education is not in place and we need to increase our efforts to rectify the situation.

All the officials felt heavy in their hearts.

There are countless private schools in the world, and family schools are even more common.

Those who don’t have a family school are not worthy of being called a family.

He can only be said to be a nouveau riche with no background.

Now that's good, the imperial court banned the establishment of schools for age-appropriate education among the public.

All the family members were sent to the imperial school.

We can roughly imagine what will happen next.

The family members are first influenced by the education of the court, and then they come, then...

"Ten: Increase the encouragement of population growth plans, and strive to reach a new high in population by the 25th year of Zhenguan."

"Eleventh, establish a directly governed state."

Li Chengqian glanced down at the document, then raised his head and said, "The directly governed prefectures are only responsible to the imperial court."

"The purpose of this move is to boost the local economy, promote economic development, local construction, etc."

"The imperial court will have a number of support policies..."

“Initially established in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Laizhou.”

Officials have different thoughts on this plan.

Of course they knew it wasn't that simple.

These three places are all very far away from Chang'an.

Guangzhou is in Lingnan. Needless to say, Lingnan is a place of exile, outside the control of the imperial court, where various riots by barbarians often occur.

Feng Ang, the mountain king, has always been in power.

The purpose of making Guangzhou a direct-controlled prefecture is to solve these problems.

Laizhou is in Shandong, needless to say.

Being responsible only to the imperial court, if this isn't a nail in the coffin of the Shandong family, what is it?
As for Shanghai.

Before, people didn’t know much about this place.

But Shandong and Lingnan have them.

Can Jiangnan still run away?
Many people shook their heads. If everyone in the world knew about these things, there would be an uproar.

But what if the pot explodes?
Now that it has been brought up for discussion at today's grand court meeting, there is no way that it can be taken back.

"twelve……."

The time comes in the afternoon.

There are a total of twenty-one plans, covering a very wide range of areas.

It can be said that it will determine the direction and focus of Datang's development in the next five years.

"I'll also say a few words."

"The military must implement this seriously and conscientiously in terms of ideology and cognition."

"In terms of weapons and equipment, we must achieve innovation."

"In military training..."

Li Chengqian did not talk about the military plan, that was something Li Shimin should have said.

Anyway, he would never interfere in the issue of military power now.

In some ways, Li Chengqian was actually gradually influencing the army.

For example, there were soldiers from the Prince's Guard and the army used explosives.

Li Shimin and others were also very clear about this.

But still the problem.

At that time, Li Shimin's prestige was unprecedented, the world was peaceful and stable, the country was prosperous and the people were strong.

In a stable environment, no one can shake the prince's position, so why would he do something that would make his relatives sad and his enemies happy?
Li Shimin was also extremely conceited and confident.

What belongs to the prince is his.

You are the prince's subordinates, but you are also my soldiers and my people.

It is only natural for a father to use his son's things and employ his son's people. Even the prince still hasn't called him father.

But this blood relationship can never be erased.

An unprecedented grand court meeting concerning the future of the Tang Dynasty has finally come to an end.

When all the officials walked out of the Taiji Hall and turned their heads to look at the setting sun in the west, they couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in their minds.

……

the next day.

The Tang Empire Newspaper published comprehensive reports on court discussions.

Especially the Twenty-One Plan, not a single word was omitted.

The other five major newspapers followed suit and replaced all the content they had prepared.

This is carefully published in full.

For a while.

As expected, the city of Chang'an was plunged into an unprecedented commotion.

Countless people were telling each other the news. Some said it was even more exaggerated that in less than half an hour, hundreds of horses galloped out of Chang'an and headed towards all parts of the world.

"State?"

"The imperial court wants to make Guangzhou a direct-controlled municipality?"

Feng Zhidai sat down with a dull look in his eyes, and the newspaper in his hand slipped out of his hand.

If he was still a little hesitant after hearing what he heard yesterday, he no longer had any hope after it was published in the newspaper.

The imperial court really wants to take action against Lingnan and the Feng family.

"Bastard King Qi."

"What did you say about my Feng family not being worthy?"

"Now, look at this newspaper. Are you still so arrogant and humiliating?"

Feng Zhidai stomped on the newspapers on the ground like crazy, venting his emotions.

He fears.

Really scared.

When he was in Lingnan, he did not have this fear.

But when he arrived in Chang'an, he saw the life of debauchery and extravagance of the Chang'an nobles.

Accustomed to a decadent and degenerate life.

This colorful world.

He also got addicted.

He was afraid of losing the freedom he had just tasted.

I’m afraid that the financial freedom I’ve just achieved will be destroyed in an instant.

He was afraid he was going to die.

"How to do?"

"What should we do?"

Feng Zhidai murmured, his thoughts in a mess.

"By the way, please, Prince."

"I can only ask the prince for help."

He suddenly came to his senses, rummaged through the house, put on his things, and headed towards the East Palace.

Li Chengqian is taking a rest.

The Twenty-One Plan consumed too much of his time and energy.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when the official announcement was made.

"Brother, Feng Zhidai is here."

Li Zhi said in a low voice.

Li Chengqian was a little surprised and said, "I thought those people came first, but I didn't expect it to be this guy."

"What is he here for?"

"I don't know." Li Zhi shook his head and said, "But his face was very pale and his eyes were evasive."

"Is this guy sick?"

Li Chengqian chuckled, "I think it's a mental illness."

"Call in."

"Yes!"

After a while, Feng Zhidai arrived. When he was still some distance away, he ran up quickly, knelt in front of Li Chengqian, and shouted "Greetings".

"I heard that you have achieved a lot in Chang'an in the past two years."

Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "How is it going? The fruit business in Lingnan has made your Feng family a lot of money, right?"

"Is Duke Geng satisfied?"

Feng Zhidai's back was sweating. He said, "It's all thanks to Your Highness for pointing out the way for my Feng family."

"My father and I are extremely grateful to Your Highness..."

Li Chengqian said calmly: "Why should you be grateful to me? It's your own ability."

"Guarding the mountains of gold and silver, it's yours."

Feng Zhidai keenly noticed the indifference in the prince's words.

A thought suddenly occurred to him: My Feng family is going to be gone.

"Your Highness."

Feng Zhidai gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please save me, Feng."

Guangzhou’s direct administration is a foregone conclusion. No matter what, if you shrink your head, you will be cut, and if you stretch your head, you will still be cut.

He simply risked his life to ask for help.

"Ok?"

Li Chengqian was surprised and asked, "Feng Zhidai, where did you get this from?"

"I'm a little confused?"

Feng Zhidai bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, if the imperial court directly governs Guangzhou, doesn't that mean they are going to take action against my Feng family?"

"I beg Your Highness to show mercy and spare me, Feng. From now on, I, Feng, will follow Your Highness's lead..."

He immediately expressed his loyalty.

In his opinion, the only one who can save Feng now is the prince.

His Majesty?

Your Majesty wants martial arts.

The pacification of Lingnan was another great addition to the country's military achievements.

Feng Shi had long been disliked by Your Majesty because she only obeyed orders and not announcements in Lingnan.

How could he possibly give up the opportunity to deal with the Feng family?

"what?"

Li Chengqian glanced at Feng Zhidai, then looked at Li Zhi who was also glaring, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Feng Zhidai was completely confused. Why did this laughter sound so similar to the one the King of Qi heard that day?
