Chapter 486 Prince, you are holy!
Wei Zheng was unhappy with the fact that the prince was not helping his relatives. If he were the emperor, he would definitely go to the Chengqing Palace to talk about it. However, the person in power today is the prince, so Wei Zheng had no choice but to make such a plan.
Don't worry, daring to die and not knowing how to die are two different things. Wei Zheng still knows the difference.
Regardless of the prince's usually amiable appearance, those who can be courteous must be courteous. Once he goes against his will, he will be more ruthless than the emperor. Zhu Taozhui, who is known as the most beautiful person in Shu, is a great scholar all over the world.
Just because he refused to be in office, he directly killed the nine tribes. No one could plead for mercy. Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Just when Wei Zheng walked to Shuntian Gate and was still slandering the prince, Heng Lian, the deputy commander of the East Palace Guards, ran over. It turned out to be the prince's words, asking Wei Zheng to see him at the Chengqing Palace.
What did the prince want to do with me at this time, to be a peacemaker? With confusion, Wei Zheng walked into Chengqing Hall, saw the prince reviewing the memorial, and then stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Old minister Wei Zheng has met His Highness the prince."
Oh, after putting down the pen in his hand, Li Chengqian waved to Henglian, motioning for him to bring two cups of tea, and then smiled lightly and said: "Prime Minister Wei, you are still angry. Come on, sit down quickly."
After taking his seat, Wei Zheng, who was holding a cup of tea, frowned and expressed his doubts: "Your Highness, you have always been jealous of evil. Although they are all relatives, you should not be so indulgent. The relatives of the former Han Dynasty can't lose their tails."
The example is right in front of us!"
Needless to say, the eldest son's family, and the legitimate daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family is the never-married Princess Jin. Prince Jin is a prince who grew up in front of the prince. The relationship between their brothers has always been good, and they are from the same mother, so
He was not surprised at all that the prince favored the Wang family.
Hahaha... After listening to Wei Zheng's words, Li Chengqian laughed loudly. While laughing, he brushed his chest, which made Wei Zheng confused for a while. What's so funny about this.
"Prime Minister Wei, Prime Minister Wei, you have been talking about this truth from the first year of Zhenguan to now. It is a cliché. I can tell you today that no matter who threatens the status of the Li Tang royal family, I don't need to ask His Majesty for a decree.
Six rates turned them into powder in an instant."
Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop Wei Zheng who was about to speak, and continued: "I can tell you clearly today that Li Ji, Wang Cheng, and Changsun Huan all acted in accordance with Gu's orders, and their purpose was to weaken the various tribes in the Mobei grassland. Gu knows,
This is against the principles of benevolence and righteousness, but we cannot stop being alone. When we meet in Mobei..."
Later, Li Chengqian handed over the military intelligence reports of the alliances in Mobei to Wei Zheng. There was some truth in Wei Zheng's original statement that those who are not of my race must have different intentions. However, at that time, the imperial court had to tighten its belt to win the war.
, if the war continues, the imperial court will be ruined, so the tribes in Mobei are given some breathing time.
In the past few years, Xue Yantuo, Bayegu and other tribes have been preparing to make moves, and their disobedience is also obvious. They have the intention of taking sudden profits and replacing them. If they don't use this "draining the firewood" plan to exterminate the family, let them incite the grassland.
For the common people, it will be inevitable for another war to break out in the North, dragging the Tang Dynasty into the quagmire of war, and repeating the history of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who refused to surrender.
Li Chengqian never made a loss-making business. The last Mobei Alliance played a role in dividing various tribes. Now he is addicted to wine and pleasure. In a few years, the blood of the Turkic warriors will be exhausted. Even so.
It was time to realize that without women to give birth to warriors for them, where would the military strength of the various tribes come from...
"Xiang Wei, to be honest, it is not easy to be the prince. No matter the complicated political situation, unpredictable assassinations, or dangerous and unpredictable battlefields, Gu has experienced it all. To be honest, in the past ten years, Gu has experienced everything.
The prince is worthy of you being the prime minister for twenty years. To be alive today and sit here talking to you is already a sign of good deeds by our ancestors."
"When Emperor Taiwu died, the emperor and Gu knelt in front of the bed. My father said that for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he would not be afraid of being criticized by thousands of people and would be infamy for thousands of years. I will tell you this again today, as long as I can make you
When the country is prosperous and the people suffer less from wars, I am willing to bear the infamy of the ages. Anyway, Gu has killed countless people and is already known as the king of tigers and wolves, so what can I do if I get a little more infamy?"
When Zhu Taozhui and other Confucian masters were executed in Dongshi, in front of the Chang'an people, they loudly scolded Li Chengqian for being an unkind and cruel prince, no different from the tiger and wolf king of Qin Dynasty. Compared with the previous Yang Yong, Chengqian was built
It's too bad. If there is such a prince who dies before his death, it would be unjust.
"Your Highness, you don't have to be like that kind of rotten scholar. The hard work that Your Highness has put in for the country and the people is obvious to all the people in the world. Since the Mobei mutual trade is your Highness's strategy to stabilize the border and weaken the non-officials, I am a veteran."
Nothing to say.
If you have to make a choice between this and endless war, then I will also make this choice, so Your Highness need not always feel guilty."
After hearing this, Wei Zhengsuan understood that the Changsun family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and Li Jiming were carrying out the prince's order, but secretly it was the emperor's acquiescence. Without the emperor's decree, no matter how domineering the prince was, the hundreds of thousands of Li Ji's
The army will not obey without purpose. Hey, I am so careless. Why didn't I think of this?
"Prime Minister Wei, your Majesty has given them a chance, but they don't cherish it, so what can you do." After speaking, Li Chengqian spread his hands and made a helpless gesture.
Then he stood up again, walked to Wei Zheng, and whispered: "Actually, you are right to worry. The land owned by the wealthy families and the private tenants are numerous. I can control the Changsun family, but I can't control them. Wang
You also saw Gui's performance in Taiji Hall today. As long as they are advantageous, they can trample all the laws of the family."
"So, inventorying the land in Guanzhong, evacuating households, changing the situation of narrow and wide townships, and enriching the court's population and taxation have become the focus of the next policy. In the next few years, the court will re-measure all the land in Guanzhong, no matter who it is
Those who occupy more than the limit will be spit out.
The other one is population. What are they doing secretly hiding so many people, farming? Not necessarily. At worst, they are building a stronghold to defend themselves, but at worst, they are plotting something evil. In the past, when the world was uncertain, they used this kind of excuse to hide their lives.
The court's mouth is nothing more than that.
But now neither the father nor the orphan can tolerate it, so cultivating a group of Qingliu officials has become the first priority to solve the problem. As the leader of Qingliu, who will you hand over to if you don't hand it over to Mr. Zheng!"
Taking the imperial decree from the prince's hand, he opened it and glanced at it a few times to confirm that it was the emperor's handwriting. Wei Zheng, beaming with joy, extended his thumb and praised: "Prince, you are wise, you should have put away those things that are unkind for the sake of wealth!".
