Chen Zhengtai was frightened by the shouting and reprimanded, and was a little confused.

Did you say something wrong?

There is nothing wrong with it, Tang Taizong originally admired the monarch and the people, the so-called monarch is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat.

But at this time, Chen Zhengtai found that the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

It was an old eunuch beside Li Shimin who rebuked Chen Zhengtai sharply, and the old eunuch's face was flushed, with a look of disgust, staring at Chen Zhengtai deadly.

Where does Chen Zhengtai know.

Although the words of the people are noble, especially the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, although it has been said in ancient times, but in fact, shouting this sentence in front of the emperor is actually quite rebellious, and now it is only three years of Zhenguan, and at this time Li Shimin has not yet said his own proposition in public.

This had to happen a few years later, when Wei Zheng put forward this idea in his advice, and then Li Shimin humbly accepted it.

That is...... For the current old eunuch, Chen Zhengtai, this kid, actually said in front of the emperor that the people are more important than Sheji and the emperor, and this is worth it, this guy is going to turn against the sky?

The old eunuch is a regular servant, named Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian is not disgusted with Chen Zhengtai, but he just thinks that this kid is really open-mouthed, and he dares to make a mistake in front of His Majesty if he is so rebellious.

In his heart, who in this world can be more important than His Majesty the Emperor, as for those small people, they are just grass mustard, Chen Zhengtai's words, to put it more seriously, are a big rebellion.

The Tang royal family claims to be the descendants of Lao Tzu, so they respect more of Lao Zhuang's learning.

Of course, the Confucian ministers still have their own opinions, but the current Confucian ministers advocate more of the way of the monarch and the minister, but rarely take Mencius's monarchs and nobles lightly, after all, ...... This is tantamount to deliberately giving the emperor a look.

Zhang Qian, the inner servant, had a straight face, and after scolding Chen Zhengtai, his face was murderous, and he continued to shout in a sharp voice: "What kind of gentleman is light on the people, His Majesty the Emperor is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and it is unspeakably noble, if you dare to talk nonsense, are you not afraid of punishment?" ”

Chen Zhengtai looked confused and groaned......

Don't...... What the hell did I say it was early?

That's the disadvantage of being half-baked about history.

But this eunuch is very annoying, a little blind, I Chen Zhengtai patted my teacher's ass, it was for life.

One of your special eunuchs wants to ride on my head.

Chen Zhengtai then said solemnly: "You are a eunuch, what do you know?" The king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat. How can you understand such a truth? ”

Li Shimin didn't understand the truth that the monarch and the people were light, after all, this was Mencius's idea.

When Chen Zhengtai said this, Li Shimin didn't mind, and even he felt that Chen Zhengtai was very knowledgeable.

When the eunuch Zhang Qian stood up and scolded Chen Zhengtai, Li Shimin still watched coldly, he wanted to borrow Zhang Qian's sharpness to kill this kid.

After all, it is not a good thing for young people to be too sharp.

But when Chen Zhengtai said that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, these words were like arrows, piercing Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shimin's tiger body was shocked, and his tiger eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat......

Isn't this exactly the truth that has been the rise and fall of chaos for thousands of years?

This truth seems to be simple, but in fact, it is to the point.

It's the truth!

No, in a way, this is almost a trump card for Li Shimin.

Again, in other eras, the effect may not be significant.

But now... But it was in the Zhenguan period.

There are deep-seated reasons why Li Shimin in history humbly accepted these remarks, and even raised them to a height like a cloud.

What is involved in this is actually the whole issue of jurisprudence.

What is jurisprudence?

That is, why Li Tang can sit on the country and Li Shimin can be the Son of Heaven.

For example, the Han Dynasty advocated the Mandate of Heaven.

But... After a hundred years of war, the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven has actually gradually declined, in the past hundred years, I don't know how many people are kings, and I don't know how many people are called emperors, you Li Tang claims to be the destiny of heaven, so why is Emperor Yang of Sui not the destiny of heaven, those grass-headed kings who are emperors, haven't they also been in yellow robes?

Years of war and chaos have made people sneer at the Mandate of Heaven, but what they are convinced of is the truth that "the Son of Heaven would rather have a kind of thing, and those who are strong and strong should do it."

Since the Mandate of Heaven no longer works, and it is impossible for people to recognize Li Tang's jurisprudence, Li Shimin must find a new legal basis.

But the intestines are scraped down, but they are still in a dilemma, does Li Tang want to advocate loyalty and filial piety?

It's just that this kind of filial piety governs the world, but there is a fatal problem, that is, the current emperor relied on the change of Xuanwumen, killed his brother, forced his father to abdicate, and only got the world, if he advocated loyalty and filial piety, then the stain of the current emperor himself cannot be convincing.

At this moment, Li Shimin has been looking for a reasonable and legitimate ruling foundation, and he must be convinced by the people of the world.

But now....

Li Shimin's body trembled slightly, as if in history, when he came to the truth of the military situation and the people, he used the boat as a metaphor for the slogan of the monarch, which was too moving.

This is the principle of the law that I have been searching for so hard.

What a destiny.

How to be loyal and filial.

Can it really make the world stable for a long time?

The way of the rise and fall of the world, not here, I can be the Son of Heaven because these people have turned into a vast ocean, carrying me as a boat.

I am the heart of the people!

Li Shimin couldn't help suppressing the excitement in his heart....

Zhang Qian, the inner servant on the side, didn't notice Li Shimin's strange appearance, seeing Chen Zhengtai confronting him in person, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he smiled, he was an inner servant, always waiting for His Majesty the Emperor, and he was favored, not to mention that Chen Zhengtai made a big rebellious remark, and he just took this opportunity to ask for credit in front of His Majesty, so he said sternly: "You can also overturn the boat, are you going to rebel?" Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that this Chen Zhengtai ......"

"Shut up!" Li Shimin suddenly rose up and was murderous, but he just stopped talking...... made Zhang Qian's body tremble, it seemed that he was coming at himself.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ......, "Zhang Qian is busy and bows to the ground."

Li Shimin was already exuding murderous intent all over his body at this moment.

At this moment, such a person who has slaughtered tens of millions of people has an indescribable sense of suffocation.

Zhang Qian had never seen the emperor so angry, and he felt that his soul was scattered.

"Someone!" Li Shimin stared at Zhang Qian with disdain, and let out a cold smile: "Take Zhang Qian down and whip twenty." ”

As soon as the order was called, the guards outside listened to it, and they were already rushing in like wolves to get people.

Zhang Qian was stunned, Your Majesty ...... The old slave is defending you, why doesn't Your Majesty know the kindness of the old slave?

But at this time, his whole person seemed to be paralyzed, and the whole person felt that he had no strength, and all his thoughts were discouraged, and he only kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The old slave is dead!" ”

The guards had already pulled Zhang Qian down, and not long after, Zhang Qian's wail was heard.

Li Shimin was unmoved, but his eyes were staring at Chen Zhengtai: "You are really bold." ”

Chen Zhengtai saw what the emperor's heart was unpredictable, and immediately said: "Student...... It's bold, and I ask the teacher to forgive my sins. ”

"What are you guilty of...... Li Shimin's face suddenly softened, and his eyes finally flashed with appreciation: "The king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat. This is the root of the rise and fall of the ages. If you regard the people as grass mustard, then the people will be resentful, and the resentment is not in the size, but only in the people's hearts. Water can carry ships and capsize, so we should be very cautious. Liang Shi was defeated, isn't this the reason, I should take it as a warning, and I must not be like a vicious slave like Zhang Qian, who thinks that he is noble and provokes people's resentment. Chen Zhengtai, who did you learn from, and from whom did you learn these truths? ”

Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai, his heart had already turned over the river and the sea, and he had already begun to calculate at this time, and he had already spread these words to the world.

Chen Zhengtai breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, Li Shimin deserves to be Li Shimin, it seems that as long as I, Chen Zhengtai, do not make "Qinyuan Spring, Snow" in front of him, read the sentence 'Cherish the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary talent; Tang Zong and Song Zu, slightly inferior to coquettish', and another sentence of the past, with Li Shimin's belly, he will never offend himself.

Chen Zhengtai blinked and looked at Li Shimin: "Ahem...... Didn't I learn from you? ”

Li Shimin was stunned......

Yes!

He is my disciple.

When he uttered these words of truth, in the eyes of the people of the world, wouldn't it be equivalent to what I said.

Li Shimin actually found that it seems that there is such a disciple, which is not a bad thing!

The Chen Zhengtai in front of him is becoming more and more unsimple.

Teacher......

Although he felt that Chen Zhengtai was flamboyant, the left sentence of the teacher and the right sentence of the teacher made Li Shimin's heart feel a little warm.

He exhaled, and thought to himself, this person is quite talented, and he knows great things, and he can teach his son, maybe ...... It can be of great use.

It's just that...

He thought in his heart, and pondered for a moment: "You have such insight at a young age, I really didn't expect that you recommended Ma Zhou at the beginning, and now you have predicted the defeat of Liang Shidu." With this, the crusade against Liang Shidu, I will count you as a military merit, I want to make you a county man, give you 500 Yongye fields, and 300 food towns, how about it? ”

Envelope...... Knighted ......

Isn't it necessary to have military merits to be knighted?

Or is it...... Did my teacher really take a fancy to me?

Although the county man is almost the lowest title, but after all, it is a knighthood, an iron rice bowl, not to mention the return of 500 acres of land, and the food yip, of course, the symbolic meaning of the food in the Tang Dynasty is greater than the reality, but it is still very bluffing to say.

Buddy will also be a knight in the future, calm down, don't get excited, Chen Zhengtai has a little doubt in his heart.

Datang has rules, that is, no knighthood is not awarded for non-military merits.

Obviously, Chen Zhengtai has no military merits.

But why did the emperor knight himself?

Chen Zhengtai worked hard to calm down and said, "Dare to ask the teacher, where are the five hundred Yongye Fields to be awarded?" ”

Li Shimin never expected that this guy seemed to have something wrong with his brain, and at this time, his brain was actually Tian's business, Li Shimin said: "Where do you want to give it?" ”

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while: "More than ten miles west of Chang'an City, there is a place called Erpigou, you might as well give the land here to the students." ”

Near the Erpi ditch is where the salt pond is located.

Although the Chen family has bought it, but in the future, a large amount of salt will be refined in this place, who knows if other people will worry about it, but once it becomes Yongye Tian, it will be completely different, this is given by the imperial court, it is owned by the descendants of the Chen family, who dares to occupy it?

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, he is proficient in the art of war, and those who have studied the art of war are best at being familiar with geography, Li Erlang usually loves to study the terrain near Chang'an, where to hide soldiers, where is the commanding height, he knows it well.

When he heard about the place of Erpigou, Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder, this place is saline-alkali land, and it is almost impossible to grow crops, I will give you 500 Yongye fields, you don't choose fertile land, but choose barren land, this ......

Could it be this kid...... I pride myself on being the emperor's protégé, and I still want to be high-spirited, so as not to let others gossip about me, and only give my own protégé if there are benefits?

Li Shimin was almost a little disgusted by Chen Zhengtai's various mentors, but at this time, he couldn't help but think about it, this kid ...... It's kind of knowing what to do.

But...... Li Shimin raised his eyes, seeing Chen Zhengtai's happy appearance, Li Shimin's eyebrows sank, although this kid is very knowledgeable and not badly learned, but he is a rare talent, and he also knows how to be humble, but this son is young after all, how can I blindly indulge him, I need to beat him well, and I must not let him be arrogant.

Li Shimin knelt behind the imperial case, silently, but in the tiger's eyes, a little coldness faintly swept through.

Thinking of the word beating, Li Shimin's thick eyebrows, a bit of sternness loomed, and then said: "I have clear rewards and punishments, you have merit, naturally you should be rewarded, but if you are negligent, this should also be punished, a few days ago, you asked Ma Zhou to send a recipe, do you remember?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Of course the student remembers, oh, the student is really damned, when he saw the teacher, he was overjoyed for a while, and he forgot to ask...... Master, have you eaten? ”

As soon as he heard about eating, Li Shimin remembered the disgusting taste of the last time he drank that soup, and immediately gritted his teeth and said sharply: "That soup is like swill, the stench is incomparable, you dare to dedicate it to me, what is your intention?" ”

Chen Zhengtai: "....."
