Li Shimin lived a very aggrieved life last year, the common people scolded him behind his back for killing his brother and forcing his father, and Jieli Khan robbed him in public after he ascended the throne, which was a handful of bitter tears. Now that he is not what he used to be, the common people will nod and praise him when they mention him, plus he has made a fortune by robbing tombs, and he has a lot of confidence to do things.

No, Li Shimin wants to hold a big event on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and get up early in the morning to dress up. The new clothes of him and the queen are all made by the Seiko essence of the Shangfu Bureau, and we are not short of money. The so-called big thing, someone has to support the scene, in order to be big. All those who have official positions and titles are invited.

Someone secretly scolded Li Shimin for playing tricks and coming to ask for an account as soon as he gave a gift. People change the yuan, we must have the meaning, Li Shimin's gift yesterday is not cheap, they have to pay back the gift according to the price or even increase the price.

Wang Jue, who was galloping wildly, also complained in his heart about Li Shimin's recent superb behavior. Can't he stop for a day and toss less? Nanshan is twenty miles away from the imperial city, and she took care of Dong Qi last night, she was sleepy and tired at this time, how could she have the heart to go to Chang'an to watch the monkey show.

Wang Jue finally rushed to the palace, but it was not too late, Cheng bit the tip of Jin's eyes, and when he saw her, he began to pull his neck and shout: "Sister, come to the position next to me, the sight here is good!" ”

"It's not in accordance with the rules, I just sit here, and I can see it clearly." Still going next to you? Still being cheated by you? Wang Jue is helpless about these cheeky and superb Datang. Besides, why did she see it so clearly, Li Shimin's flat face made her angry when she looked at it.

Burst! This dialogue reminded everyone of what happened at yesterday's New Year's banquet, and many people hid their faces and snickered.

"Hey, everybody's here? Let's get started. ”

Sure enough, it was still that hey face, many people couldn't see it, and secretly thought to themselves how to make him honest. Li Shimin didn't notice at all those who lowered their heads and rolled their eyes and pouted, he was holding the eldest grandson queen out with an affectionate face and accepting everyone's worship.

Wang Jue yawned and bowed three times with everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have something to do?"

"The minister has something to do."

Seeing Wei Zheng stand up, Li Shimin's brows jumped. Unless it's a big event, how can anyone talk about daily business on such a day? He had already thought about today's arrangement, first show off the movable type printing, he never mentioned this matter, just wait for it to be brilliant today. Then he boasted about the output of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and finally announced some changes in positions and laws after the reform. Which Cheng thought that Wei Zheng was so faceless that he couldn't even hear kind words.

Li Shimin squinted at Wei Zheng, his face was gloomy like ink, "What's the matter?" ”

"There is a group of tomb robbers around Chang'an who are very rampant, they spread rumors in vain, and mislead the people under the cover of heavenly punishment. Such unhealthy tendencies cannot be promoted, and the ministers ask the Holy Lord to investigate thoroughly. Wei Zheng didn't care about the change in Li Shimin's expression at all, he came to find fault today, who asked Li Shimin to give gifts to the dead people's funeral gifts.

Many people who wanted to understand the source of the gift yesterday praised Wei Zheng in their hearts, except for Cui Zhixian. If Li Shimin can be shameless and let him check while continuing to steal, what should he do? Can you really catch the saint?

What are you afraid of, bad luck is the head!

"Cui Zhixian, this matter is in your hands, right? Check it well, and I'll be rewarded for doing a good job! ”

Cui Zhixian replied stubbornly: "Minister... Compliance. ”

The insider's jaw dropped, this accented 'well done', can it be understood that he didn't steal enough?

Several military attachés in charge of the operation glared at Wei Zheng fiercely, the saint sells salt to compete with the people for profit, and now you can take care of us if we have no capital, do you want the saint to be as poor as you, you are happy?

Someone wanted to cut off his wealth, which was very depressed, Li Shimin reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Is there anything else?" ”

Everyone shook their heads wildly, and no one stepped forward. You show the lower limit every day, and if you have nothing to do, you will take off the dough and step on it, what else can we say?

This reaction is right, Li Shimin has a smile on his face again, and he can perform a solo show to his heart's content for the rest of the time.

Li Shimin glanced at the ministers in the hall with different expressions, and grinned, "My prince and the prince's teacher, inspired by me, invented movable type printing. ”

Burst! The saint really knows how to tell jokes, but fortunately we don't have anything in our mouths, otherwise we will squirt out, and we won't lose our manners. Everyone began to peek at Wang Jue with their spare eyes, and Li Chengqian was so ashamed that he was about to cry, but thinking of the filial piety that the teacher once said to him, it was not good to refute Li Shimin in public.

Wang Jue had a slight smile on her face, but she was the one with the best mentality in the hall. Hehe, the old lady's things dare to follow the profit without saying a word, and you will receive it in the future.

Li Shimin was very apprehensive in his heart, he expected that Wang Jue would not refute him on such an occasion. But there is a case for everything, and if this happens, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he will inevitably feel embarrassed.

Seeing that Wang Jue didn't react, Li Shimin's heart was a little relieved. It is said that wealth is sought in danger, it is really lucky, and it is cheap!

Hit a stick and give a sweet date, Li Shimin did it very well, "How is the harvest of potatoes and sweet potatoes offered by the hundred factions?" ”

Tang Jian replied: "Fifteen stones per mu." ”

"Good! All right!! The hundred schools of thought have contributed a lot to the Tang Dynasty, please accept my worship. Li Shimin was so excited that he clapped his hands and applauded, and when everyone didn't react, he gave Wang Jue a long look.

Wang Jue didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he had to return the gift, and he didn't even dare to say it. In fact, he began to complain secretly in his heart again, saying that he was worshipping, but in fact, he was just making a show, who is rare.

"It's all thanks to the reminder of the princess, I just discovered Confucianism..."

When Kong Yingda heard this, he secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly interjected: "The minister has something to do." ”

Li Shimin coughed lightly in embarrassment, "What's the matter with Kong Sacrifice Wine?" ”

"The ancestors of the family hid books in the coffin, and thanks to the help of the saint and Wang Niangzi, they were able to welcome back the true Confucian books. The ministers and Kong's disciples worked tirelessly for days, and finally sorted out and transcribed the authentic books. The minister brought a transcript and wanted to present it to the Holy One. I just heard about the art of movable type printing, and this is a good time to correct mistakes and promote new ones, hoping that the saint will be fulfilled. ”

"Well, the Ministry of Industry is printing two enlightenment books written by Wang Xianzi, and after I have read the authentic Confucian books, I will decide which one to start spreading to the outside world."

According to Li Shimin's speculation, the true Confucian book should be to remove the various schools of thought that are now mixed in it, and there are also the words of sages that the world has never seen. But he still didn't say anything, and he had to review it himself before making a decision.

Kong Yingda also understood the meaning of Li Shimin's words, which should have been so. He is not stupid, not to mention that there is nothing unfavorable to the ruler in the classics, even if there is, he has to hide it at home. The first goal is achieved, and then the next one.

"Saintly, Dong Thief not only tampered with Confucian classics, but also caused many schools of thought to have to hide from the people. The ministers asked to play, abolished Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism, and summoned hundreds of schools of thought to come out. ”

In return for his evil efforts, Li Shimin finally tasted the taste of being robbed of his merits. This matter was initiated by Wang Jue, and after he got the benefits, he responded, and the Kong family found out the classics to get a piece of the pie. Old man Kong crossed them and was the first to say this, how would it be recorded in the history books?

Even the long speech he had prepared was instantly useless. After some entanglement, depression, and irritability, Li Shimin had to spit out two words dryly, "Quasi-play." ”

"The saint is wise, and the prosperity can be expected!"

"The saint's merit is Dayu, comparable to Yao Shun!"

The onlookers said that we can't watch the excitement all the time, and we have to do our duty. The saint came to us just to hold his stinky feet, so we have to hurry up and hold it hard.

Although Dayu and Yao Shun made him a little weak-hearted, Li Shimin was still praised very highly. The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and he also exchanged courtesies, "I have the assistance of all the kings, why don't you worry about the prosperous world?" ”

I don't know what Li Shimin's life is, there are always people who give him unhappiness when he is proud. No, the slap in the face is coming.

"Holy Lord, there are hundreds of scholars born outside the palace gate who can't kneel, he... They said they were here to petition. "Woo, I've changed shifts several times, and it's always him who is unlucky.

"What?" Li Shimin's face turned red, as soon as everyone praised him for his wisdom, someone came to stir up the situation, it was too much of a slap in the face!

"Zhongqing will go out with me to have a look." He wanted to see who was so bold as to touch his brow on such a day.

Hey, Mom, there are people outside the palace, there are kneeling scholars, and there are onlookers, it's lively!

Li Shimin once again staged his trick - changing his face, he showed a warm smile to the scholars, and asked with concern: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I should have reunited with my family and enjoyed my family. What is it that makes you put down your children and come here to kneel? ”

, Li Shimin is damaged enough, the students haven't spoken yet, and they were first put on a big hat of unfilial piety.

Lang Jun, the leader, said: "We and other students study hard, and I only hope that one day we can serve the saints and the people of the world. However, what we have learned is a Confucian classic that has been passed down from the Han Dynasty. If the Holy One dismisses what we have learned, what shall we do? If the previous classics are all wrong, how can they teach capable ministers and great Confucians? ”

The old man next to him answered: "The old man is fortunate to know a few words and has set up a school in the county. I heard rumors that many of the existing classics had been tampered with, and I was very frightened. I couldn't do it, so I had to stop teaching and come to Chang'an to ask the saint, what should I use to teach students in the future? ”

Xiao Langjun, who was a weak crown in the back, was also unwilling to speak: "The saint knows that it is not easy for civilians to find books? The grass people's families were poor, they couldn't afford to buy books, and they had nowhere to buy books, so they relied on the pity of the head of the academy and the help of the uncle in the village to be able to read and write. The grass people once swore that they would repay the teacher and the township after learning something, what should they do now? ”

This trick is very ingenious, the reader is not holding grievances for the Dong family, but putting the questions out to seek answers. The scholars studied hard, looking forward to the imperial examination. After studying for so many years, you told us that what we have learned is useless, you have to give an explanation, right? It was you who recognized it first, and then we learned it. Mr. Teaching is too, the classics are not right, naturally they can no longer be taught to students, and now that students are suspended, what should I do? If you ask me to teach new content, I won't, how can I teach it?

The ministers frowned, and the situation they feared the most still appeared. It takes time to overdo this, but what about the imperial examinations in the past few years? You must not use the old knowledge temporarily, otherwise you will be slapped in the face.

Li Shimin smiled, he had already conspired with Wang Jue and Kong Yingda, "This matter is easy, not all classics are wrong, and the imperial examination questions will be selected from the correct content." I have announced an important matter to the ministers today, and I will now tell you about it. A few years later, the people of Datang no longer have to worry about finding books nowhere. The Confucian family found the authentic book, and I wanted to print it into a book and send it to the teacher of the Tang Dynasty. The book will be printed with the explanation of the Confucian sacrificial wine, and with the talent of the Confucian master, the literate can understand it. ”

The leader sighed with emotion: "The Holy Lord thinks about us everywhere, and we still do things to besiege the palace gate, which really shouldn't be!" ”

"The grass people are guilty!" Hundreds of readers cried together, both moved and guilty.

Li Shimin's eyes were red, he was tired and tired, calculating this and wanting to kill that all day long, isn't it just to get the approval of the people? Looking at the ministers who were also moved by him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with such subjects, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it.

The ministers also sighed in their hearts, the people are simple, and the people's hearts are available!

An old man walked out of the crowd and said, "The Holy One is the king of heaven, and non-immortals can't compete with it!" ”

This time Li Shimin really cried, relying on this sentence, he could wash away the past.

The woman beside the old man spoke: "I heard that the Holy Lord wants to summon a hundred families to be born, can this be true?" ”

Li Shimin bowed his head, "I have made an order to summon hundreds of schools to be born and seek prosperity together!" ”

The old man and the woman wept when they heard this, and the followers behind them wept.

"Since hearing the rumors, the grass people are both expectant and afraid. The Holy values us, and what can we do for the Holy One? The grass people have no long things, but the ancestral craftsmanship of the family is somewhat inherited. The Holy One is the Divine King, how can he dress like everyone else? Since we got the news, we have poured all the strength of our clan into making a dragon robe and want to sacrifice it to the saint. ”

The ministers don't know what to do anymore, making dragon robes privately is a serious crime, how dare you! Cui Zhixian's careful liver also suffered, where did these people come from, won't they still be under his rule?!

After the woman finished speaking, she and the old man opened a box together, and a dragon robe with exquisite workmanship appeared in front of everyone. The golden thread shone in the sun, and the dragon on the garment seemed to be alive, ready to fly out of the cloth.

These people should be one of the miscellaneous families, Wang Jue contributed to the birth of a hundred schools, of course, he will speak out at a critical moment to help, "The dragon can be big and small, and it can rise and hide: the big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. The dragon changes when it comes, and the Jews have the ambition to crisscross the seas, and the dragon is a thing, comparable to the emperor of the world! ”

"Good!" The thing is good, and what Wang Jue said is good. As for the private dragon robe, they can't carry it on their shoulders and can't pick it up with their hands, will they rebel? For the first time, Li Shimin got tangible benefits from the decision to be born from a hundred schools, and he began to be full of infinite expectations. Miscellaneous families send clothes, what do other families give?

Li Shimin was excited, and made a move to dress in public, anyway, it was just a robe, and there was no need to be naked.

After the onlookers saw Li Shimin change his clothes, their prestige really increased, and they bowed to him together.

Li Shimin has benefited from others, so naturally he can't pretend to be crazy and stupid, "You have lived in Chang'an for a long time?" What are your plans for the future? ”

The woman replied: "I was persecuted by the king in the Han Dynasty, and I have been living in seclusion in the land of the Southern Barbarians, and I did not come to Chang'an until the ninth year of Wude. If the Holy One does not dislike it, we are willing to serve the Holy One. ”

What woman doesn't love beautiful clothes? Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly pulled Li Shimin's sleeve, she also wanted a phoenix robe!

Li Shimin is also a person who loves the present, how can he let go of capable people, "In this case, I appointed you as the secretary of the Shangfu Bureau, and you will take office in the future." ”

When the old man and the woman heard this, they bowed with gratitude. The woman entered the palace to take up a job, and the old man led the family members to open a shop in the West Market to sell goods, and the pressure on the family was relieved. All the family's savings were used to make dragon robes, and now they only have three days of rations left, so they came to the palace gate on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Even if Li Shimin doesn't come out, they plan to find a way to get in.

When the common people saw this scene, they praised Li Shimin to the sky. What knows how to make good use of people, has a broad mind, and jumps out like no money for good words. The Chinese New Year, the picture is prosperous, and Li Shimin will inevitably express his gratitude to the people, so these words of gratitude should be said in advance.

In addition to paying attention to the conversation of everyone, Wang Jue has also been paying attention to a young man in the crowd. This person stood next to Dong Yiqun, and his face was somewhat similar to Dong Yiqun. No matter what had just happened, there was no joy or anger in his eyes, nor was he as excited as the crowd of onlookers. It seemed that he was just watching a play with known answers, and they became the play.

This feeling, the same feeling that the young man gave her, made her very uncomfortable.

When the people departed, the young people also departed with them. Wang Jue frowned, staring at his back and falling into thought. The young man seemed to be aware, he turned his head and looked at Wang Jue for a few seconds, and then squeezed into the crowd and disappeared, this was the first time that Wang Jue and Dong Yilin, the fateful rivals, had met.

The ministers all followed Li Shimin back to the palace to continue their deliberations, and Wang Jue had to put aside his thoughts for the time being.

The ministers were sincerely happy that the saint could be recognized by the people, and that the affairs of the scholars could be resolved smoothly. Except for Li Shimin's increasingly arrogant expression, there was nothing that made them dissatisfied.

Li Shimin also announced that the eldest grandson Wuji and others would renegotiate the laws and regulations with the scholars, judges, and others, and that today's court meeting would be considered to be over. Just when everyone was about to exit the hall and Li Shimin was in a hurry to see the congratulatory gift, the little chamberlain came again....

"Xue Yantuo, Hui Hui, Bayegu, and Hui Luo sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts, and they are now waiting outside the palace."

The ministers took back their legs, Li Shimin put down his mind of looking at the gifts in a hurry, and the Tang monarchs and ministers all had bright eyes and bad intentions in their eyes.

Li Shimin: "Please come in!" ”

After a few people came in, they first saluted in a regular manner, using the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty to show respect for the king of a strong country. Seeing that they were so sensible, everyone's favorability towards them instantly increased by a few points.

The children of the grassland spoke more happily and straightforwardly, "Our leaders have received generous salt from the saint, and they all say that the saint is the prince of benevolence, and we are specially sent to send small profits to congratulate the saint on the joy of changing the yuan." ”

After speaking, they each took out the gift slip from their arms and handed it to the chamberlain.

Li Shimin took the gift list, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, the congratulatory gift included a good horse! Datang lacks horses, although this congratulatory gift cannot solve the big problem, but it can see the message that the ministry wants to deliver. Sending war horses to the enemies of the dependents shows that they have long been unable to endure the tyranny of Jieli Khan.

Li Shimin laughed heartily: "I also attach importance to the relationship of diplomatic relations, and if there is any difficulty, you can send people to Tang for help." It's just that I took the throne at the beginning of my reign, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help much in two years. ”

"Thank you!" They are very satisfied with Li Shimin's reply, and they are also powerless now, otherwise they would not have endured humiliation to this day.

Wenchen was excited, and the generals were eager to try. This is a message delivered through the air, intending to cooperate with the outside world in two years and kill the rhythm of Jieli Khan.

It is said that there will be some kind of induction between enemies, and when Li Shimin calculated Jieli Khan, the other party was also cursing him, "Hmph, change the yuan, and if you change it, you will be a poor egg for the rest of your life!" ”

After Li Shimin arranged for the minister to receive the envoys, everyone could finally go home. In fact, he was in a hurry to leave than the ministers, and when he saw that everyone began to withdraw from the palace, he hurriedly pulled the eldest grandson queen to the treasury.

"What's the matter, I said that I had an idea to replace the things that were not easy to sell in Jinyufang with practical things, but you still don't believe it! Look at these, we finally have a family! ”

Empress Eldest Sun pulled out an ugly smile, not knowing how to respond. When Wei Zheng stood up to speak today, she found that many people looked jumping, obviously knowing the trickiness inside. At that time, she was very embarrassed, and especially regretted appearing in the court with Li Shimin today. There is no matter of movable type printing, and she doesn't even let go of her son's credit, she no longer expects Li Shimin to maintain the royal face.

Li Shimin was happily holding the gift list for comparison, who was stingy and who was generous, he had to write it down, and he didn't notice the silence of the eldest grandson queen at all.

Huh? Nanshan Wang County sent a wooden box?

"Hurry up and bring Wang Jue's gift!"

Li Shimin took the box handed by the chamberlain, took out the paper in the box and opened it, only to see that it was written: This is a secret medicine for the treatment of Cai Guogong, which can only be treated but not prevented, and I hope that the saint will keep it properly. He only has one feeling at the moment, there is nowhere to find it when he steps through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

According to Wang Jue's meaning, he is not sick or sick now, and it is a waste to use it, so it is better to keep it. But where to keep it? He suddenly felt that the whole palace was not safe... I secretly blamed Wang Jue for being careless, such a precious thing was actually handed over by the waiter. But one yard is one yard, Wang Jue's loyalty, he will still remember.

If Wang Jue knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him that you thought too much. Dong Qi said that the Dong family wanted to find someone to pretend to be a student to assassinate her, but she just didn't want to guard against assassins, and she also had to distinguish which people were sent by the Holy Lord to steal medicine on a regular basis...

Wang Jue yawned and sleepwalked on horseback, and she couldn't help but think of the young man in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she drew a portrait of this person after returning home, and sent it to the East Palace to let Li Chengqian help investigate. If there is something wrong, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

And Dong Yilin, who was being nagged by her, is moving with the whole Dong family at the moment. Dong Yilin knew that the general trend had gone, and today's action was just to see the faces of the enemies and keep them in mind. When he makes a comeback in the future, it will be his time to seek revenge.

The ancestor of their Dong family can play with the people of the world with a mouth, and he Dong Yilin is not willing to be ordinary! Looking carefully at the itinerary of the Dong family, it is actually going to sea to the Wa Kingdom!
