Chapter 118 The New Pension System

"Whether it was leaked by someone in the palace or not, the royal family cannot admit it because we can't afford to lose this person. I want to know if there are any other ministers besides Zu Xiaoli who know the inside story."

Li Chengqian is right. No matter what, the royal family cannot admit that their servants are cheating. If they can't control these servants, how can they govern the world?

"I met Wang Gui once and gave me some advice." As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

That's right. I asked how the scientific examination fraud case was solved so easily, and there was no objection. It turned out that they were waiting for me here. Their real purpose was to attack the emperor's prestige, and it was just a bait to fall into Li Shimin's hands.

That's all.

"Wang Gui was demoted and released for the crime of leaking banned Chinese language and spreading rumors to cause trouble. As for the Jiaofang Division's rear end, I believe my father has already taken care of it."

Zu Xiaoli himself would not say anything, and those palace servants were still loyal servants of the royal family, so they could only use Wang Gui to top the vat.

In fact, he was not unjust. The children of the Wang family were also involved in the scientific examination fraud. Dealing with him was also a warning to those people.

Li Chengqian's idea was quite satisfactory, and he nodded immediately: "Yes, but this is not a once and for all solution. This time it is a secret matter in the palace. What about next time, my palace will be just a broken house with leaks everywhere."

After listening to the emperor's words, Li Chengqian thought for a while. Some of these eunuchs and maids did this to get ahead, and some to save more money for their retirement.

This is understandable. They all came from a poor background. As long as they can survive at home, who would send their children to the palace as servants?

Life in the palace was not as good as they imagined, and these people with physical and psychological defects basically developed many bad habits, such as gambling.

This is also the reason why they lived a miserable life in their later years, so they tried every means to make money. This also gave many people with bad intentions an opportunity to take advantage of it, causing many secrets in the palace to be leaked.

.

"It is definitely impossible to completely eliminate it. After all, individuals will have greed, but it can still be done to greatly suppress this situation."

"What's the plan?" Li Shimin laughed when he heard that there was a way. Li Chengqian's little head can always come up with some good ideas at critical moments.

No wonder even that stubborn old donkey Wei Zheng once lamented that he was so wise that he was almost like a demon. I believe he will not let me down this time.

"This method was inspired by my mother. In the second year of Zhenguan, in order to increase the population, she specifically asked for an order to send the older palace maids back to their place of origin. Let them marry at will to make up for the losses in the war."

"Now we are going to further improve this measure. We will purchase some fields and farms and move all the elderly and frail people in Yeting there to support them. Then we will select a group of young and strong people to work there and take care of these elderly people.

In line with the principle of being strict in entering and leaving out, and burying others after they die, if the royal family can help them solve their worries in this way, I believe it can guarantee the loyalty of most people."

Li Chengqian's pension system impressed the emperor. Why hadn't he thought of such a simple and practical method?

This was a matter of the harem. Li Shimin always wanted to seek the opinion of his eldest grandson, so he turned sideways and asked, "Mr. Guanyin, you are the master of the harem. What do you think of Cheng Qian's proposal?"

In the eyes of Empress Changsun, this is a once and for all solution. The royal family has shown such great grace to those slaves. If they are not grateful, they will really deserve their death.

If other concubines or princes and princesses came up with such a method to raise a grandson, they would definitely be wary, but Li Chengqian is his most beloved son, so it doesn't matter.

"Your Majesty, my concubine Yi Chen's method is very good. I will strictly control it in the inner palace from now on. I believe that this kind of thing will never happen again."

"Okay, since Maid Guanyin agrees, then you can do the hard work yourself." He took the eldest grandson's hand and said softly.

"This is what I should do, how dare I say it's hard work."...

Well, the problem was solved. The couple once again sprinkled dog food in front of Li Chengqian, a single man, which made Li Chengqian feel disgusted. Then he coughed a few times to express his presence.

"Why are you still here? Don't you have any errands to do?" Li Shimin looked questioning.

The emperor's words made Li Chengqian almost stumble. Is there any royal law? Use people forward instead of behind, and beat the monks after reciting sutras.

"Oh, I'm taking my leave." After saying that, he bowed and turned to leave.

When he walked out of the palace gate, Li Chengqian glanced back and couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "I hope you are caught next time you are looking for your mistress. What will you say when you see me?"

However, Li Chengqian was really a crow's mouth. It didn't take long for another sexy news about Li Shimin to be revealed, which made Li Shimin, the emperor, lose face in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

The results of Wei Zheng's investigation came out quickly. Wang Gui was arrested because of his own son's fraud in the imperial examination. He was drunk and talking nonsense.

He falsely accused Zu Xiaoli, the young minister of Taichang Temple, of offering beautiful women to the emperor in order to seek unjust prosperity and glory, thereby ruining the emperor's reputation. According to law, he was dismissed from office and exiled for three thousand miles.

As the emperor, Li Shimin also severely criticized Wang Gui's behavior of ruining the reputation of his father at court.

At the same time, he said that as a monarch with great wealth, how could he let such a thing happen in Li Tang's palace?

In the end, he generously forgave Wang Gui's sins and demoted him to the governor of Tongzhou. He reflected on his mistakes locally and did more things that benefited the country and the people.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, Li Chengqian sat on the main seat, his displeasure evident on his face. Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Gao Jian, the left minister, looked embarrassed.

The reason was that the construction speed of the Yushan Military Tomb was too slow, which made the six generals who participated in the Northern Expedition not even angry. They reported it to Li Chengqian, which led to today's invocation of the troops to investigate.

"This plan for the military mausoleum was approved by His Majesty, and the funds from the Ministry of Revenue were allocated on time. Why is the progress so slow?

The army will return victoriously in two months, how will you explain to His Majesty then, and how will you explain to these hundreds of thousands of soldiers?"

Anyone who is familiar with Li Chengqian knows that the calmer Li Chengqian is at this time, it means that he is really angry.

Duan Lun, his uncle, was not afraid of Li Chengqian in the past, but as the prince's power in the court and the army was growing, he was not sure about his wife and nephew.
