Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 590 tacit understanding
A few more days passed by in a peaceful environment, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing these days.Looking outward, it seems that something is gathering, and it looks like a storm is coming.All the elders in the court seemed to be cautious, waiting for today's court meeting.

This day's court meeting lasted from early morning to afternoon, and it was not until evening that the ministers dispersed one after another.Soon, news spread to the inner court.

Xu Jingzong took the initiative to plead guilty. Li Yifu started with the matter of Emperor Taizong's harmony with all ethnic groups, and blocked all the old officials. In the end, the emperor made a decision, and Xu Jingzong took the post of Shangshu and changed it to the son of the state offering wine and the minister of the Ministry of officials.

The courtiers were unwilling, but there was nothing they could do.Because Li Yifu quickly talked about Chu Suiliang's impeachment.

On the second day, the emperor called a court meeting again.After several days of wrangling, Chu Suiliang's case was transferred to Dali Temple for review.

Within two days, the audit results came out: Dali Temple Chancellor Zhang Shanshou fined Chu Suiliang 20 catties of copper coins (Tang law, a fine of 20 catties of copper coins is equivalent to one year in prison).

Such a serious act of immorality is only sentenced to such a light result, how can it convince the public? !
As a result, something even more surprising happened again.Here Li Chengqian had just heard about the result, and was already dissatisfied.But this is obviously a lenient punishment, and the punishment was reversed again before the new emperor had time to intervene.

Zhang Ruichi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, actually felt that this was a heavy sentence, and directly sentenced Chu Suiliang not guilty.

On the day Li Chengqian learned of the result, he was silent for a long time.He suddenly felt a kind of fear.

An unprecedentedly large political force emerged in the imperial court.

This is by no means a wonderful thing for a new emperor who has just ascended the throne for only a few months.

With a trace of heaviness, Li Chengqian couldn't help talking about it to his wife after everyone had retreated and the children had returned to their own residences.

After Yang Xiaoran heard it, she was also secretly startled.

What he dislikes the most about being a boss is the grouping of his subordinates. This is the same no matter in ancient times or in modern times.

Because the grouping of courtiers also means that the power of their bosses will be greatly reduced.As the Son of Heaven, this is naturally unbearable.

And Li Chengqian also obviously felt that while the courtiers praised him with the "Zhenguan Legacy", they also used this to restrain him.

And although he admires his father's great achievements, he is also a person with independent thinking and personality!How can you be willing to be manipulated by courtiers?
Not to mention, he still has greater ideals and ambitions to realize in his heart!
"Brother Prince, it seems that the matter of party friends is definitely not groundless. You must not be soft-hearted about this matter! My father once said that after a person has been in a high position for a long time, once he feels good, he will become in front of power. It is not that the two old officials who have been left alone Is there any idea of ​​being disloyal to the emperor...but they are in that position, and their people are snobbish, and they will push them away..."

"Furthermore, Wei Zheng is now seriously ill, with good times and bad times, and he is no longer able to participate in the government. Without Wei Zheng, a highly respected minister who dares to speak out, the atmosphere in the court will not be as good as before. Now there are still imperial envoys who dare to impeach, but if we don't take advantage of this If you take Chu Suiliang to the knife, I am afraid that the disaster of the party and friends will not be far away..."

A sneer appeared on Li Chengqian's stern face, "Father has lost his original intention after he died only half a year ago? The result of this matter can only show two things: first, the facts of the case are true, and Chu Suiliang did violate the national law; The veteran is decent, and the sentencing is a punishment instead of a punishment, which is basically a symbolic punishment, which obviously means that the sentence will be given lightly, and a major incident will be reduced to a small one..."

Li Chengqian looked at Yang Xiaoran and said with a sneer, "This is the so-called mutual protection of officials..."

Yang Xiaoran lowered his eyes, thought for a while, raised his head and laughed, and said, "Brother Prince, don't be angry. This is a good thing..."

"yes……"

Li Chengqian's eyes were dim, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.After being silent for a while, he said: "It hasn't been presented yet... and in another month you will be about to give birth, hehe... Don't you want to play tricks with me? I will fulfill them... I was canonized at the age of eight As the crown prince, at the age of 12, he cooperated with his father to handle the government affairs. He was educated by the emperor since he was a child, and they seem to have forgotten this..."

Yang Xiaoran laughed, "If that's the case, why bother? I guess it's because the prince's elder brother felt tolerant. On the one hand, he was angry that Chu Sui knew the law and violated the law, and courtiers and officials protected each other; on the other hand, I'm afraid he couldn't bear to see him being demoted from the court at his age... "

Yang Xiaoran raised his mouth and continued: "After all, he is the prime minister, and he is also the minister appointed by my father. Now he is deposed from Beijing because of triggering the national law, which really makes people feel guilty. Moreover, the nature of this case itself is not serious, it is nothing more than Chu Suiliang received some benefits from others, it is a big or small matter..."

"It's just that a serious problem has been exposed in it..."

Li Chengqian continued: "The Dali Temple is in charge of the judiciary, but all the judicial officials seem to be deliberately protecting Chu Suiliang who is the prime minister, and the bigger the officials are, the more blatantly they defend him... Just this makes me chill! "

Yang Xiaoran nodded, slowly put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Brother Prince, it's a good way to delay asking, and you can see more problems exposed; but it's not a solution to keep procrastinating! The law of the country is the law of the country. What's the use of the law if you don't follow it? Although Chu Suiliang has never done any evil, it is the greatest immorality for an official to accept bribes from an official! The prime minister is the head of all officials. Giving gifts to help others, so how can politics be clear?!"

"Our future generations still emphasize the purity of the officialdom. Regardless of whether we do it or not, we must have this attitude. This trend will not last long. We should immediately call uncle to discuss this matter!"

Li Chengqian looked at Yang Xiaoran, smiled, and said, "I am lucky to have such a good wife!"

The husband and wife looked at each other, and saw the tacit understanding of spiritual harmony in each other's eyes.

Summon the eldest Sun Wuji to discuss this matter, the most important thing is to beat.

This is obvious.The relationship between Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang is well known, and it is very good.

So here comes the question, can the ministers hug the thigh of Prime Minister Chu Suiliang or the eldest grandson Wuji behind it?
The answer is obvious!
So as soon as Yang Xiaoran spoke, Li Chengqian immediately understood her thoughts.It is rare in the world to have such a tacit understanding between husband and wife.

Now that he has a direction, Li Chengqian is unwilling to talk more about the court.Now that he can spend less time with his wife and children, and his wife has a big belly, he doesn't want her to worry too much.Now that the business is over, the rest of the time should also talk about the family's gossip.

Holding her hand, he said, "Let's go to Xianyuan for a walk... It's been a long time since I went..."

"it is good……"

The two quickly went to Ruyi Space, where Da Mao and his younger brothers and sisters were playing in front of the cabin.Seeing Yang Xiaoran and Li Chengqian coming in, he immediately ran over happily and rolled in front of them.

After the cat's eggs left, they basically didn't leave the space anymore, and they were basically in a state of retirement in the space.Fortunately, there are many small animals in space, and they are not lonely.

However, after getting along with humans for a long time, it is obvious that the company of the master is better than others.Seeing Li Chengqian and Yang Xiaoran coming in, the joy was obvious.

Looking at these innocent tigers, Li Chengqian squatted down and tickled them next to each other.The tigers were on all fours, exposing their bellies for him to scratch.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian felt more relaxed.

He smiled and said: "Xiang'er, look at Da Mao and Er Mao... Sometimes when you think about it, getting along with them is the most pleasant, there is no intrigue, if you treat them a little better, they will trust you wholeheartedly. This animal can turn their belly To reveal it to you is the greatest trust and loyalty to you."

With a slight smile on the corner of Yang Xiaoran's mouth, he nodded and said, "Well... Who said otherwise?"

Watching the butterflies flying in the space, the flowers blooming and swaying, and the fragrant grass surging up in layers, like ocean waves.

The green grass, the fragrance of flowers and the fragrance of soil are mixed together. Such fresh air and such beautiful scenery are always easy for people to forget the worries of the world for a while, and just indulge in this beautiful scenery and relax to the fullest.

After playing with a few big cats for a while, Li Chengqian got up, took Yang Xiaoran's hand, and said, "Let's go for a while."

"kindness……"

The husband and wife walked slowly along the lake, with four big cats following behind, occasionally darting past a little rabbit, and chasing it mischievously.

The lake water was churning, and two golden turtles slowly surfaced, followed by a bunch of little turtles.There is also a trace of gold thread on the turtle shell, which looks particularly beautiful under the sunlight.

"Brother Prince, when the state affairs stabilize, let's make a cabinet."

"You mean the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty?"

Yang Xiaoran nodded, pointed to the beautiful scenery in the distance and said, "Look, if we work hard for another ten years, we should retire. For this Great Tang, we have been working hard since we were young. After another ten years, we will not be confused. It's been a year, if a cabinet is formed, I'm not afraid that Xiang'er won't be able to deal with it..."

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty is not yet perfect. We have to gradually improve our ideas and then implement them. The candidates for the capital can be elected and appointed by the emperor. There are always six people in the cabinet, and the emperor decides not to hold six official positions. Whether it’s good or not, it’s all decided by drafting votes. From bottom to top, the cabinet counts at the end, and six cabinet officials also have to vote, and the minority obeys the majority...”

"In this way, isn't the Son of Heaven just like a display?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and soon saw the way, "Zhu Yuanzhang removed the prime minister's post to have a cabinet. And I heard you said that the late Ming Dynasty was not satisfactory, and the cabinet system has a lot of disadvantages."

Yang Xiaoran pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven is enthroned, and next year he will open Enke, open a few more subjects, and have to bring some fresh blood to the imperial court. And what we have to do, besides perfecting this system, is to teach officials in various places, Only when the wisdom of the people is opened can we enter the next stage."

Li Chengqian trembled slightly, and suddenly realized what his wife was trying to do.

After a long silence, he murmured: "Are you going to take the road of constitutional monarchy?"

After a pause, he looked into the distance, and said with deep eyes: "This is indeed a way to protect my family of Li and Tang Wanshi... It's just that I heard you say that after the Qing Dynasty, our constitutional monarchy and democracy have been tried. In the end, they all failed. Could it be possible if it was left a thousand years ago?"

　Hey, I can wait a few days to add more chapters to the reward. It's really a bad hand, and it hurts when I type too many words.Besides, I have to go to a few gatherings during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I can’t do it if I don’t go. There is a family gathering that must be attended, otherwise I will be beaten to death. Allow me to delay for a few days, so I can squeeze out my ideas... This baby is already designing a new book outline, if there is any Leave me a message if you have any ideas...
