At this time, Li Shimin's mood couldn't help but become worried.

He looked cautious, and then ordered Zhang Qian beside him: "Come, summon the subordinate officials of the East Palace." ”

Li Shimin is a person who loves his reputation.

He thinks that a person with a reputation will not be too bad to be a person.

But if everyone thinks that a person has a problem, then this person, even if he doesn't, is a problem.

Therefore, Li Shimin likes to summon some moral masters to the court, and the reason is very simple.

Because it doesn't matter whether these people are really moral masters or not, at least the world recognizes them, which greatly improves their image.

In fact, Ma Zhou took a fancy to Li Shimin, he knew better than anyone who the emperor was and what the emperor needed.

This is also why, his article can also arouse Li Shimin's great joy, and then immediately gain Li Shimin's attention.

And all this...... Obviously, they were all in the applause of Chen Zhengtai and Ma Zhou.

When the emperor came to the East Palace, when he heard the news, the other officials of the East Palace made a mess, and they all said that Chen Zhan would not have an accident, and His Majesty must have been invited by Li Zhan, obviously for Chen Zhan.

Ma Zhou was smiling, still working in his right spring fang, until a eunuch came to invite, he got up, dusted off his robe and skirt, and smiled at the eunuch calmly: "Please." ”

It didn't take long for Ma Zhou and his subordinates to enter the Hall of Sincerity one after another.

He stood still.

Then he looked at Li Shimin, who was pale, and also saw the prince and his benefactor.

Of course, Li Gang's face was very bad and he looked a little embarrassed, but he still held his head up proudly.

He still has a lot of confidence in himself, after all...... After three dynasties, he was killed...... No, he has assisted several crown princes, and he thinks that he has enough qualifications and has unparalleled prestige in the East Palace.

Li Shimin looked at everyone, and then, he said lightly: "I heard that ......"

He didn't ask Li Gang directly, after all, Li Gang was a person with a great reputation, so Li Shimin only said slowly: "I heard that Shao Zhan entered the mansion, and many people complained about it, is there such a thing?" ”

Officials, look at me, I'll look at you.

Ma Zhou and Wei led the general Su Dingfang to step forward without hesitation.

Li Shimin waved his hand at the two of them: "I don't ask you, I ask them." ”

"You don't have to be afraid, you can speak freely here, and I won't add to the crime." Li Shimin smiled and encouraged everyone.

"Your Majesty...... The minister has something to say. Finally, a man stood up with righteous words.

This man is a pawn.

Chen Zhengtai had an impression of him, in fact, someone came to the East Palace to visit the prince, the petty official in charge of reception.

He still remembered that when this person took his money before, his discipline was relatively low, and his eyes were red, it seemed that this person was relatively short of money.

Li Shimin's eyes fell on this pawn: "Huh? ”

The pawn said eloquently: "Chen Zhan Shi came to the East Palace, although it was only two days, but in the past two days, everyone has seen it, Chen Zhan Shi has asked about the affairs of Zhan Shifu every day, it can be said that everything is very detailed, never negligent, and the officials and others are in their eyes, and they are in their hearts......

He covered his heart, and then said bitterly: "This is a matter known to everyone in the Zhan Mansion, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find someone to ask." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he already believed it in his heart, because other subordinate officials bowed their heads one after another, nodding yes.

Li Shimin seemed to know in his heart, and he immediately glanced at Li Gang, and his face was not as polite as before.

Thinking of Li Gang's impeachment, and then to the conclusive words of this subordinate officials, coupled with the deep understanding of this Zhan Shifu, what do you need to say?

From the very beginning, Li Gang slandered Chen Zhengtai, if not, how can these things be explained?

Li Shimin looked at Li Gang very calmly: "Does the Li Qing family have anything else to say?" ”

Li Gang obviously understood that whatever he said was just a joke.

His Majesty has already saved him a lot of face, if His Majesty continues to ask him whether he is arbitrary in the Zhan Mansion, according to the maintenance of Chen Zhengtai by these subordinate officials, he is afraid that he will soon be attacked.

However, he couldn't understand why his decades of prestige could not match Chen Zhengtai's two days in this Zhan Mansion to win people's hearts.

His face turned pale, and he said faintly: "Old minister...... I am confused, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. It's just that...... The old minister thought ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

Li Shimin smiled at him and said, "The prince doesn't have to worry about Li Qing's family, the prince is getting older and knows some right and wrong." ”

Li Gang was suddenly depressed, if he really couldn't understand what he said, then he would have lived on a dog in his life, he glanced at Chen Zhengtai complicatedly, and finally said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it...... Is the person most trusted by Your Majesty a great traitor? ”

Li Shimin smiled at him, but was silent.

When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he was already furious, and said eloquently: "Dare to ask Li Gong, what is called a great traitor?" Like Li Gong, who has assisted the prince all his life, and let them recite scriptures all day long, isn't it a great evil? ”

Li Gang was also out of the way at this time, because he knew very well that today was the last day of his life to stay in Zhan Shifu, once people despaired, they couldn't help but get up desperately, he sneered at Chen Zhengtai: "Reciting scriptures and inheriting the classics is the foundation of sincerity and the governance of the country." ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "After reading the scriptures, can you rule the country together?" I have never seen anyone who can rule the world by reading the Bible. What is the difference between the book you read and the book that the monk reads? It's nothing more than persuading people to be good, persuading people to be gentlemen, and relying on people who read these books to train the prince, so what kind of person will the prince become? ”

"You ......" Li Gang said with a straight face: "If the prince has no virtue, how can he rule the people?" ”

Chen Zhengtai actually has no ill will towards Li Gang and others, after all, everyone has their own outlook on life.

But...... Li Gang's greatest malice is that he always imposes his own outlook on life on others...... Such...... It's disgusting.

Chen Zhengtai sighed and said: "Virtue rules the world, it is said to the common people, the essence of letting them cultivate virtue and filial piety is to let them be able to keep themselves in peace, and avoid the state from using criminal laws too much. Just like this Zhou Li, it is to regulate the behavior between the Son of Heaven and the princes, and use the Zhou Tianzi to restrain the princes with the Zhou Li, the essence of which is to reduce the rebellion of the princes. ”

"Who is the crown prince, he is the future lord of the people, the well-being of tens of millions of people depends on him, and his responsibility is to master the conquest and protect the territory and the people. It is to crusade against the subordinates and maintain discipline. Is it possible to do it by virtue of cultivating virtue? ”

Li Gang never imagined that Chen Zhengtai would actually say such a crooked reasoning, which made him furious.

Fortunately...... In this world...... There are not many rotten Confucianism, and Chen Zhengtai's unconventional remarks may not cause too much surprise.

Chen Zhengtai continued: "So...... What the prince has to do is to use all his knowledge, and he can use scriptures to make people cultivate virtue and filial piety, which is for the long-term peace and stability of the country. He also knows how to control military horses so that the world can be stable. He needs to know how to manage and seek ways to enrich the people. For the monarch, everything is a means, his ends...... It is to maintain the community, to kill the subordinates, and to eliminate all possible hidden dangers! ”

"Li Zhanshi just blindly asked the prince to cultivate virtue and let him read the scriptures, thinking that only by relying on the truth in the book can the world be stable for a long time, this is the most ridiculous thing in the world, if you think that governing the world is so simple, then Li Zhanshi has read the most books, why don't you see that when the world is in chaos, Li Zhanshi can come out, turn the tide, and help the world?"

"Li Zhanshi said that I, Chen Zhengtai, am a great traitor, so dare to ask, what evil things have I done, is it contrary to your concept, is it a great evil? But don't you know how many homeless people I have taken in in that Erpigou, and how many people have survived because of Erpigou. ”

But in their eyes, like Li Zhanshi, when the disaster situation is critical, they are still advocating reading the scriptures and governing the scriptures, and they are dressed in fine clothes all day long, anyway, they can't be hungry on Li Zhanshi's head, so they can close the door and continue to study, they feel that it is the most useless. Can Li Zhanshi hear the wails of the hungry outside? Do you see them in rags and hungry? Li Zhanshi only hid in the East Palace all day long, ate well, dressed well, and said a few words advocating reading the scriptures. But even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still knows how to teach the homeless people to cook flower chickens in Erpigou. So what about Li Zhan...... What did you do to cultivate virtue? ”

"The essence of Buddhism is not that monks can be called good just by reciting sutras to persuade people to be compassionate. Just like the foundation of Confucianism, it is not that Li Zhanshi recites the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and he talks about gentlemen and virtue every day, which can be called virtue. When Confucius traveled around the world, did he become a sage by reading? ”

If this is the case, then wouldn't it be too easy for the Buddhas and gentlemen in this world to do so? It is your business to read the scriptures and read books behind closed doors, you are a scholar, you have food and clothing, you have a gorgeous house, beautiful women, and exquisite food, and no one will pay attention to you if you want to study. But the prince is the prince, if he closes the door and relies on reciting scriptures to be that gentleman, such an act is not worthy of being called virtue, but a bad conscience! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Gang steadily, and he didn't know when a look of disdain appeared in his eyes, and said: "Li Zhan is so misleading, but he is still complacent here, and he even scolded me Chen Zhengtai is a big traitor, and it is a loss that you are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, assisted a few princes, and changed to someone else, believe it or not, I beat ......."

Chen Zhengtai suddenly realized that Li Shimin was on the side, so he continued: "Believe it or not, I will scold you. ”
