Chapter 233: The battle is for the Tang Dynasty and the war is for Chang'an
The history of inspection is to supervise the people's livelihood and the official discipline of officials.
The term of office is five years, and after five years, he will return to Chang'an to resume his life.
At that time, the emperor would evaluate his achievements in the past five years and give him promotions as appropriate.
To tell the truth, this official position in Datang is already very advanced.
Therefore, after Li Shimin set up the inspection history, he was still more at ease with the people's livelihood.
After all, if you want to be promoted, you must satisfy the people, and you must strictly investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
But he would have thought that there was such a dirty thing in the peaceful and prosperous world in his eyes.
Li Shimin raised his head and smiled, his smile cold.
"A mere Qin family has disregarded the principles of heaven and exploited the people to this ......"
"Guys, what do you think I should do?"
At this people's congress, Li Shimin originally came to listen to the praise of the people.
As a result, the other party came up and gave him a hammer.
With Li Shimin's face-saving personality, can he endure it?
Besides, even if it's not a matter of face, if someone dares to play a game under his nose, can he bear it?
Li Shimin raised his head and called: "Biography, the book of the Criminal Department, Li Jing ......"
When the people's congress was held, Li Shimin gave orders to these ministers.
Whatever the hour of the day, the ministers had to wait outside, with the news.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Li Jing to come to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a Qin family in Xiangzhou, Shannan Province, right?" ”
"I've heard of it."
Li Jing replied truthfully.
Li Shimin said again: "I order you to take the sword of the Shang Fang and set off on a certain day to Shannan Road." ”
"After arriving, he sent officials to investigate the Qin family's enclosure and occupation of land and oppression of the people."
"Once the truth is found out, the three clans will be punished to set an example."
"And colluded with the officials, all of them were deposed, their assets were confiscated, and the whole family was exiled to Mobei."
"Minister, obey the order."
Li Jing intervened and walked away.
At this moment, Li Shimin once again faced the people: "What do you think of me, how do you deal with it?" ”
None of the people in the audience spoke.
There was silence.
But as the old man of the Qin family bowed to the ground and shouted, 'Your Majesty Shengming', the audience instantly exploded into a Shengming cry.
And this voice is what Li Shimin wants to hear.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Since everyone is satisfied, then let's continue." ”
"Today, as long as you can say it is reasonable, I will do it."
"And I put this sentence here, even if I depose all the officials of the Tang Dynasty today, I will return justice to the people of the world."
By saying this, he has already expressed his attitude.
And these words fell into the ears of the people, and some people were moved to tears.
Li Shimin is really the best gentleman in the world......
It was also with Li Shimin's words that some people began to express their distress.
As for the voices of these people, Li Shimin can agree to it.
Those who can't allow it will not refuse, but only say that they will propose in the court in the coming day to discuss with the ministers before deciding.
By the time the night grew darker and the full moon rose into the sky, there were no more people in the venue to give their opinions.
Of the more than 400 people's deputies, at least half have expressed their opinions.
And the remaining more than 200 people who didn't speak were not because they were afraid of Li Shimin.
It's because there's really nothing more to say.
Their words were all finished by the people before them.
But in this regard, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied.
He enjoyed the process of the people giving him advice.
He looked at the representatives of the people around him and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one is silent.
While Li Shimin sighed, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Of the more than 400 people, 200 gave their opinions.
More than 100 of them asked him to investigate and deal with the corruption of local families and officials.
The other dozens of people told him about the inadequacy of the imperial decree.
This is actually enough to hurt Li Shimin's self-esteem.
If there are more than two hundred left, they will also say such things.
I'm afraid that Li Shimin can't bear it anymore.
At this point, the first half of the people's congress can be regarded as the end.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Tell the imperial dining room to serve wine and food!" ”
Following his orders, it didn't take long for the armor soldiers of the Shenwu Army to come slowly with plates one by one.
The delicacies and wines on the plate were placed on the small table in front of the representatives of the people.
The real banquet begins.
Li Shimin raised his wine glass and faced many representatives of the people.
"The first glass of wine, toast the martyrs of the Tang Dynasty."
"Without their bloodshed and sacrifice, there would be no prosperity and strength of my Datang today."
As the words fell, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.
And the people raised their glasses and drank them up.
The little eunuch beside Li Shimin filled his wine glass.
"The country of me is also the country of Qing."
"The world is not the world of my Li alone, let alone the world of the Li family."
"This world is the world of the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"So, this second glass of wine, I salute all of you present, thank you for your dedication to my Datang over the years."
After speaking, Li Shimin drank the wine in the cup again.
The people also followed suit, but their hearts were inevitably mixed with a few different feelings.
When Li Shimin raised his wine glass for the third time.
He said slowly: "I, Li Shimin, have been on the throne for three years, and I have fought for three years, starting from Liang Shidu, then to the Northern Desert Turks, and then to Tuyuhun in the Western Regions. ”
"In the past three years, tens of thousands of soldiers in Datang have died on the battlefield."
"Among these are your relatives and your sons."
"You've given me everything you can, but I've let you down."
"So, this third glass of wine is my Li Shimin apologizing to everyone."
"In the same way, it is also I, Li Shimin, who want to thank everyone, and when I Li Shimin can't see the world clearly, I am willing to give me a chance to mend my ways."
With that, he drank all the wine in his glass.
Looking at his appearance, it doesn't look like a toast, but there is a sense of déjà vu that he wants to get drunk.
A one-armed middle-aged man in his forties suddenly stood up after drinking all his wine.
He said, "Your Majesty has nothing to be sorry for us. ”
"We were born in Datang and grew up in Datang, so we should serve Datang and be loyal to Datang."
"Don't talk about others, just say that I'm Lao Geng, since Jinyang raised troops to overthrow the tyrannical Sui, I have followed His Majesty's side."
"Maybe Your Majesty hasn't paid attention to me, but I am fortunate to have witnessed Xue Ju, Song King Kong, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heimin and Xu Yuanlang severely damaged."
"I have witnessed the bloody rain and bloody wind of His Majesty along the way, and I have witnessed His Majesty's overcoming of obstacles along the way."
"Your Majesty is dedicated to my Tang Dynasty, what's wrong? Why should others give them a chance to make amends? ”
"I'm old, I don't have arms, I can't hold a knife anymore, but one day Your Majesty calls for me to re-enlist in the army and die for Your Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, don't talk about others.
Even Li Shimin's heart was touched.
He exhaled deeply and looked up at the sky.
He seemed to have seen the years of the horse.
I also saw the self who overcame obstacles and moved forward indomitable......
"The war is for the Tang Dynasty, and the war is for the ...... of Chang'an"
