Chapter 649: Li Shimin's Philosophical Questions
In Chang'an City in winter, the sun sets earlier than usual.
Before the palace gate closed, Li Shimin returned to Daming Palace.
Today's private interview with Weifu did not have anything earth-shattering, but the feeling of being in touch with the daily life of ordinary people and hearing ordinary people talk made Li Shimin have a very different experience.
The next day, after the morning court, Li Shimin couldn't help but leave a few important ministers of the court.
"I've been thinking about a question for the past two days, what do the people need? What do you think? ”
Li Kuan basically rarely attends the court meeting several times a month, but today he came over on a whim and shook around, but he was asked to stay.
Originally, he thought that it was inconvenient to discuss whether there was something big going on in the DPRK and China.
But I didn't expect such a philosophical question to come out of Li Shimin's mouth.
Fortunately, it's not a matter of discussing where I'm coming from and where I'm going.
"Eat well and dress warmly. Your Majesty, Weichen feels that this is what the people need most. ”
Fang Xuanling looked at everyone, and didn't seem to have the intention of speaking first, so he had to stand up first.
"Father, what Fang Xiang said is right, but Erchen thinks that eating well and dressing well should be something that the people need more."
At this time, Li Chengqian followed Fang Xuanling's words and came out.
It is no wonder that Li Chengqian's popularity is getting worse and worse now.
Although it can't be said that he is doing it against Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling will definitely not be happy when he hears it.
A dignified prince, the level is so low, no wonder Li Shimin is worried every day.
"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the most basic needs of the people. Father, the emperor, and the sons feel that eating well and dressing well are indispensable; But living comfortably and traveling conveniently is actually what the people need. ”
Li Tai originally didn't want to speak so quickly, but when he saw that Li Chengqian had already stood up, he immediately expressed his opinion.
If Li Chengqian's words just made Fang Xuanling a little uncomfortable, Li Tai's words made Li Chengqian unhappy.
However, Li Shimin was in front of him, and Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai with a frown, holding back the unhappiness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Fang Xiang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei said are all right, but if it can be more specific, I think it is necessary to analyze the specific group of people. For farmers who depend on the fields for their livelihood, what is most needed is a good harvest of grain and an increase in production; For the craftsmen who work as helpers in the workshop, what is needed is to have work every day and be paid on time; For businessmen in the eastern and western cities, it is necessary for business to be prosperous and less disturbed......"
The eldest grandson Wuji can rank first on the list of meritorious heroes, as long as it is not against Li Kuan, his IQ is still very online.
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded silently.
"There is one more month, and the sixteenth year of Zhenguan will come. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I would like to publish a New Year's message in the major newspapers, and also put forward some policy guidelines for the future. Do you have a slogan that is concise, catchy, and can accurately express the court's commitment to the people? ”
A while ago, when Li Kuan entered the palace to visit the concubine of the king of Chu, Li Shimin had a special chat with him.
At the beginning, Li Kuan put forward the words New Year's greetings and policy guidelines, and Li Shimin kept them in mind.
However, this practice is unique after all, and no one has done it before, so he is also more cautious.
Now that he has been visiting Weifu privately for a day outside, he suddenly has a deeper understanding of Li Kuan's original suggestion.
Previously, Li Kuan had boldly mentioned in front of him the view that "the people are precious, and the monarch is light", but Li Shimin did not particularly approve of it at the beginning.
However, with the passage of time, this political viewpoint that once belonged to him was slowly fully accepted by him.
Of course, as a slogan of commitment to the people, this sentence is obviously not particularly appropriate.
"Seek strength for Datang and happiness for the people. Your Majesty, how about this slogan? ”
"Follow Your Majesty, there is a happy life. Wechen thinks this slogan is more appropriate. ”
"Life is getting better and better, and life is getting happier and happier."
……
All of a sudden, all kinds of suggestions sounded in the Xuanzheng Palace.
"Kuan'er, what do you suggest?"
Although Li Shimin also felt that some of the opinions that everyone said were not bad, he always felt that something was missing.
When he found that Li Kuan had not spoken, he immediately took the initiative to ask.
Li Kuan didn't want to steal the limelight from Li Chengqian and Li Tai, but so many people have been discussing it for so long and haven't found a point of view that satisfies Li Shimin, so there is no way.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has two slogans, one is aimed at literate and hyphenated readers, and the other is aimed at ordinary people."
Before Li Kuan's words were finished, Li Chengqian and Li Tai couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
Two more slogans?
Feelings: Our gang has been tossing for a long time, and there is not a single satisfactory slogan, and you just say that you have two slogans?
I'm going to see what you can say!
"Oh? Tell me about it! ”
Li Shimin perked up and felt that what he wanted seemed to be about to appear.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations! This is for scholars, what does Your Majesty think? ”
After Li Kuan's words were finished, the Xuanzheng Hall fell into an eerie silence.
Even Li Shimin was stunned.
Although he was full of expectations for Li Kuan, this ......
This impact came too violently!
In such a sentence, anyone who has read a book can feel the atmosphere inside, and can feel the ideals and ambitions that are full of it.
It's perfect to use this to motivate readers.
"Good! Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people! That's a great thing to say, Kuan'er, with your words, today's meeting will not be in vain. ”
Li Shimin took the lead, and everyone praised him.
Even Li Chengqian and Li Tai said against their will, this sentence is really too good.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you just said that there are two slogans, dare to ask what the other one is?"
Fang Xuanling was quite calm, and interrupted everyone's words of praise in time.
Above the Tang Dynasty, it is not a secret that Fang Xuanling has a good relationship with the Chu Palace.
"The people's yearning for a better life is our goal. Your Majesty, Fang Xiang, what do you think of this as the core concept of Zhenguan's 16th New Year's Message? ”
"The people's yearning for a better life is our goal? It's easy to read, easy to understand, and it's perfectly fine. ”
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.
