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

Chapter 328 Li Chengqian Formula

"Your Highness."

When Di Renjie saw Li Jue, who was walking out of the palace with full energy again, he couldn't help but call him.

"Di Renjie, tell me what's going on."

Li Jue said hurriedly: "My matter will soon be resolved."

Di Renjie knew that His Highness had been in Chang'an for the past year and had been running around the Tiangong Academy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite indulgent in this matter and does not impose too many restrictions.

Of course, I am also learning what I should learn in Chang'an.

"I have finished all my homework."

"You didn't write for me, so there's no reason to stop me from going out."

Li Jue looked at Di Renjie warily, as if he was ready to run away at any time.

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who asked you to hold off on going out."

Di Renjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Please go to the Tianqi Hall."

"Aye."

Li Jue lowered his head. His father had spoken and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

If you make Aye angry, your house arrest will be over.

"Okay then, let's go to the Apocalypse Hall."

The two were originally walking side by side, but Di Renjie deliberately fell one step behind, and then Li Jue deliberately walked side by side with him.

"Don't give me that. I won't say anything if you do this to Aye."

"If you want to do this to me, I'll beat you up every time I see you next time."

"You wouldn't dare fight back anyway."

Li Jue grinned and threatened, and Di Renjie had no choice but to obey.

Li Jue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you know why Aye asked me to stay here?"

"It should be Duke Zhao who is coming."

"Uncle is coming?"

Li Jue said in surprise: "I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. I heard that he hasn't been doing well recently."

"He wasn't seen at the Grand Court either."

"He also said he would go visit his uncle in a few days."

I don’t know when it started, but Di Renjie found that Li Jue was a gossiper.

It seems like it started after I came back from Jiangnan and went to Tiangongyuan too frequently.

Arrived at the Apocalypse Hall.

Li Jue saluted obediently.

"Greetings, Aye."

"Ji Lang, come here."

Li Chengqian didn't even look up, just said this, Li Jue walked to the table, Di Renjie put down his heels for him, and knelt beside him.

"Aye, you've been very busy lately. You should get more rest." Li Jue asked with concern.

"It's rare that you have such filial piety."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I heard from Xin Shaohou that you were researching chariots with the masters from Tiangong Academy?"

"how's it going?"

Speaking of this, Li Jue's eyebrows danced with joy, and he said, "Aye, we have failed for more than a year, and finally we see hope."

"Oh? What hope?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"We found that steam engines simply could not be used in chariots."

Li Jue said excitedly: "It's too big, too bulky, and too troublesome."

"So, we changed our research approach and stopped using steam engines."

Li Chengqian asked: "What should we use?"

"I don't know." Li Jue spread his hands.

"What kind of hope is this?"

Li Chengqian burst out laughing, and even Di Renjie shook his head. Is this what the emperor's grandson was talking about?
"But if we reject this route, we can try other methods."

Li Jue said seriously: "For example, the power of a steam engine is driven by the boiling water through the gear parts."

"Then the gunpowder explosion can also provide power."

"Seal the gunpowder in an object and then ..."

He was talking a lot.

Li Chengqian asked: "Who thought of that?"

"Me." Li Jue said as a matter of course.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's eyes became a little strange.

This guy won’t be able to make an internal combustion engine.

Gunpowder explosion is an idea, but it definitely won't work. However, with this idea, there is a high probability that the power of instantaneous combustion will be discovered during the process.

Li Chengqian didn't mean to remind him, he just felt that Erlang's thinking was really wild and imaginative.

He encouraged: "The idea is good, but remember to verify it carefully."

"Aye, I know that even the master of Tiangong Academy would not let me take risks."

"That's good."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Don't go to Tiangongyuan these two days."

"Go do two things first."

"One is to visit the Duke of Wei, and the other is to visit the Duke of Zheng."

"They are my elder teachers, you should go and greet them."

As he spoke, he said with some emotion: "Duke Zheng's health has improved, but Duke Wei's health has become worse and worse."

"I know, kid."

Li Jue responded.

At this time, the eunuch came to report that Changsun Wuji wanted to see him.

Li Chengqian agreed.

Not long after, Changsun Wuji came over.

He was a little surprised to see Li Jue, but he still saluted as usual.

"Your Highness, I respectfully ask you..."

"Guan An."

Li Jue bowed and said, "Greetings, uncle!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Uncle, no need to be so polite."

"This child is still young..."

Changsun Wuji said: "Rituals cannot be abolished."

Li Chengqian didn't say much. After letting Changsun Wuji sit down, he said, "My uncle is not here as the minister, but I am too busy with my daily affairs."

"No one is there to share my worries, which is really a headache."

Li Jue said, "Aye has lost a lot of weight in the past few months." "Uncle, please don't hide anymore."

"Come out and help Aye share the burden."

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly in his heart, is it me who didn't want to come out?
The prince wouldn't let me out.

"It's my fault." Changsun Wuji leaned forward slightly and said.

"The Qizhou incident has been basically clarified. It has nothing to do with my uncle." Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "My uncle will not blame me for my behavior, right?"

Zhang Sun Wuji immediately said, "Your Highness is wise. I am grateful to you. How dare I blame you?"

"That's good."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Fanyang Lu, this incident is extremely serious and has a very bad impact."

"They actually hid armor and secretly raised private soldiers..."

"He is so audacious that he disregards the laws of the country and his crimes are unforgivable."

"I have discussed with your majesty that severe punishment will be imposed and there will be no leniency."

Zhang Sun Wuji was shocked and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, are you going to punish the Fanyang Lu family?"

"It's not as simple as just asking for punishment."

Li Chengqian said calmly.

Zhang Sun Wuji was even more shocked. "The Lu family of Fanyang has always had a great reputation. If the Lu family of Qizhou is implicated, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry about that, uncle."

Li Chengqian said: "I have discussed with your majesty that the Ministry of Shangshu should be reformed to have one prime minister, a second-rank official, and eight vice-prime ministers, second-rank officials."

"My uncle is the Right Minister of the Shangshu Province. His hard work and contributions are known to the world and witnessed by all."

"The position of Prime Minister must belong to my uncle."

Changsun Wuji raised his head tactically with an expression of disbelief.

Is he going to take the throne of an official like this?

It would be strange if I didn't say I was excited.

His previous target was the Zuo Pushe of the Shangshu Province.

Who would have thought that he would be a prime minister of the second rank?
"Of course."

"The prime minister's duties are the same as those of the Shangshu Province in handling government affairs, but the official title has changed."

The Secretariat was the highest administrative body in the country, and had a Shangshu Ling.

However, because Li Shimin had served as the Minister of the Chancellery, the position had remained vacant.

After all, we have to avoid it.

The left and right ministers of the Secretariat became the actual holders of power.

The Shangshu Chengxiang is equivalent to the Shangshu Ling, and the name was changed so as not to offend Li Shimin.

This way everyone will be much easier to accept.

However, the system of three provinces and six ministries has not changed and remains the same as before.

The only difference is that the Shangshu Ling, Shangshu Zuo Pushe and Zuo Pushe are gone, but there is one more prime minister and eight deputy prime ministers.

Li Chengqian's reforms were just a variation of the cabinet system.

"Your Highness, I am terrified."

Zhang Sun Wuji said: "Duke Liang is the left servant, so he should be the prime minister..."

After finishing speaking.

He himself became nervous. The position of the highest official was right within his grasp, but he was actively pushing it away. God knows how worried he was.

Li Chengqian secretly laughed in his heart.

Li Jue shouted, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"If I could be the chancellor, I would agree immediately."

"Father, I think my uncle is capable. He will definitely be a good chancellor."

Changsun Wuji's face turned red when he heard what Li Jue said.

This is a bit too exciting.

His heart was pounding wildly.

"Uncle, you don't have to refuse."

Li Chengqian patted Li Jue on the shoulder and said, "Erlang has already said so. If you still want to refuse, it would be a bit hypocritical."

"I dare not, but..."

"I also think my uncle can take on this responsibility."

Li Chengqian interrupted: "As for the Duke of Liang."

"He was old and frail, and his energy was running low. He wrote to the emperor twice to retire."

"Your Majesty and I also sympathize with him and plan to grant his retirement the next time he writes a letter of resignation."

Changsun Wuji understood instantly.

Fang Xuanling stepped down in order to take responsibility for the Qizhou incident and give an explanation to the court.

By the way, the Lu family of Fanyang was eliminated.

He couldn't help but secretly thank Gao Ming for his decision that day, as he was still confused and unaware, and kept complaining.

If I were still wandering around, how could I have the position of Shangshu and Prime Minister today?
"Cui Dunli, Your Majesty appreciates him, and I also think he can be of great use, so I plan to let him serve as the Vice Prime Minister."

"In addition, Yang Shidao, Duke of Song is also good."

Li Chengqian was telling Changsun Wuji about the allocation of positions in the Secretariat.

It also made him clear that everyone had reached a consensus on the matter of the Fanyang Lu family.

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Highness is wise."

Changsun Wuji was so excited that he bowed his head and said.

"uncle!"

Li Chengqian said quietly, "Few people know about this matter, and your majesty is a little hesitant about whether it is worth it to make such a big fuss about the Shangshu Province, and has not made a final decision."

"I told my uncle, hoping that he could help His Majesty make up his mind to come."

Let your Changsun Wuji come out and allow you to sit on the high position of Shangshu and Prime Minister.

It's not that simple.

You should show your performance.

What are the manifestations?
The general direction has been pointed out to you.

You must follow the baton of the two palaces, charge into battle, and implement your pledge of allegiance.

Changsun Wuji was shocked. It was indeed not that easy.

The prince is the promoter and direction setter, and all he needs to do is tell them.

As the executors, they have to step up to the plate and make decisions on how to deal with the Lu family of Fanyang.

By then, when the plan to deal with the Lu family of Fanyang is proposed, people in the world will not care about whether the two palaces agree, but will only care about the executor of the plan.

I want to think about it.

This is impossible for Li Chengqian.

If you want to..., you must... and also...

Li Chengqian's formula is this.
