Chapter 473: Your Majesty is right in everything
Most people are like this, both on the side of the inflammation and on the side of the situation, and also on the mind of falling into the well.
Especially those who have deep roots, they can always see the wind and steer.
Now that the old emperor can't hold on, Chen Zhengtai has certainly made a contribution to saving the driver, and His Majesty has revoked Chen Zhengtai's title, perhaps hoping to let the prince show favor to the Chen family, which many people know.
However, the emperor's plan was not wrong, and the crown prince was gracious...... Can it really be done?
When the emperor was there, it can be said that he was full of words.
And what about the crown prince?
To put it mildly, everyone is an old minister, and the so-called old minister is...... When we followed His Majesty to fight the world, or when we were in a high position, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not born yet.
To put it mildly, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, shouldn't he take care of the feelings of the old ministers and come as he wants?
Li Shimin's illness was serious, especially when an arrow almost pierced his heart, and such an injury was almost certain death. Now it's just a matter of how long you live, everyone is waiting for this day.
In the final analysis, what the courtiers are afraid of is not the emperor, the emperor's position, in the early Tang Dynasty, in fact, everyone did not treat it very well, those old ministers who have gone through three or four dynasties, but have seen a lot of so-called little emperors, so what? It's not like you're fiddling with you as much as you want.
What everyone is afraid of is still human after all, Li Shimin is fearful, Li Chengqian is ...... He's something.
is not afraid of Li Chengqian, naturally...... also regarded the Chen family as a fragrant dumpling!
Without it, the interests are too great, and a little bit of the Chen family's flesh and blood is enough for his family to be used for several generations, driven by this kind of interest, in the name of suppressing business or other things, it seems that it is not a matter of conscience.
At this time, Chen Zhengtai said disdainfully: "In this world, there are indeed the majority of people in the hot and cold world." In fact, these clans, on the surface, want to suppress business, but they don't want to think about it, in Erpigou, don't they secretly do business? These guys are really cheap and good. Hmph, I'm in a hurry, and I'm shaking out all the things that these people do on weekdays. β
Zhang Qian was smiling on his face, no matter what he said, his impression of Chen Zhengtai had changed a lot, especially at this time, he should be the same as Chen Zhengtai.
So Zhang Qian glanced at Chen Zhengtai deeply and said, "Chen Gongzi's words are wrong. In fact...... The more they realized the benefits of trading, the more they had to refrain from doing business. β
"Ah......" Chen Zhengtai was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is the reason for this?" β
Zhang Qian coughed: "Think about it, it is well known that you can make money by doing business, right?" However, if everyone can buy and sell, won't the profits be diluted? So they also do business secretly, but they don't want everyone to do business. What day...... If the merchants are really suppressed, who else can do business in this world? Who can ignore the law and sell goods all day long, and who can start a workshop? β
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he suddenly realized.
At first, he didn't understand that after seeing the huge profits of Erpigou, which one of the clans did not participate in the business of Erpigou? But they want to suppress businessmen and hype up the harm of businessmen, isn't this a slap in the face?
But Zhang Qian broke the sky at this time.
The purpose of suppressing business is not that everyone does not engage in business, but that ordinary people are excluded from business activities through laws or decrees.
Ordinary people are afraid of the law and dare not break the law. But the clan is different, the law was originally made by them, and the people who enforce the law are also their protΓ©gΓ©s, and when the merchants were not suppressed in the past, the clan ran a textile workshop, and others could run ninety-nine of the same workshops, and everyone competed with each other and made some profits. But if it is to suppress business, the textile workshops in the world are their own, and the other ninety-nine are eliminated by law, then this is not a small profit, but a huge profit.
After Chen Zhengtai understood this relationship, he gasped and couldn't help but say: "If this is really the case, then it is really terrifying." If the imperial court really does this policy and listens to their proposal, won't all the clans in this world make waves? There is land, there are tribes, children can be officials, and there are huge profits from industry and commerce, who can control them in this world? β
"yes." Zhang Qian nodded very seriously: "This is also what the slave is worried about, the money, population, and land in the world are all in the hands of the clan, won't this court become an empty shelf?" Even if the crown prince ascends the throne, he is just a puppet for them. β
Chen Zhengtai sneered: "This is to try to see the dagger." β
Zhang Qian said earnestly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young after all, and for many people, this is a godsend, and now ...... There are already a lot of people who are making a fuss about this. β
Chen Zhengtai bowed his head, frowned and said, "I hope Your Majesty doesn't have anything to do, otherwise, you may not be able to suppress them." In other words, you are a eunuch, and you think about it all day long? β
Zhang Qian raised his head and couldn't help but glance at Chen Zhengtai: "The slave is a eunuch, there are no descendants, he has served His Majesty for half his life, and he has no private plans, so everything is based on the royal family." Do you think slaves are the same as you? β
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Ha...... Actually, I'm just like you. β
Zhang Qian said in horror: "You are also a eunuch? Then who gave birth to that son of yours? β
ββ¦β¦β
Chen Zhengtai scolded angrily: "What I said is that I don't have any private plans, I just put the court first in my heart." β
Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had heard the mistake, and he almost thought that Chen Zhengtai's body also had some defects!
He muttered, "Startle us, otherwise it will be really bitter for Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
Are you sure you're not swearing?
Chen Zhengtai was speechless to him, this was the rhythm of talking to death, so he didn't pay attention to Zhang Qian anymore, and then went to the secret room......
In the eyes of the people in the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Chen Zhengtai seem to be engaged in some kind of conspiracy, hiding His Majesty in the secret room, and no one can see him, which is similar to the plot of the emperors of previous dynasties who are about to die of illness, and there will always be people around them to conceal the news of His Majesty's death.
Therefore, there are always many people who want to inquire about the emperor's news, but Zhang Qian is very tightly arranged, and he will never reveal a little bit of news.
Chen Zhengtai rushed to the secret room and replaced Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin slept for a long time, the high fever still hadn't subsided, Chen Zhengtai touched his hot forehead, Li Shimin seemed to have a reaction, he opened his eyes tiredly, and let out a sigh of effort in his mouth.
Seeing that His Majesty had woken up, Chen Zhengtai immediately shook his spirits and said busily: "Your Majesty...... Craving water? β
Li Shimin blinked.
Who would have thought that Li Erlang, who usually looks forward to his own pride, has now reached this situation, which shows the blessings and misfortunes of people, which is really unpredictable.
Chen Zhengtai sighed, hurriedly took warm water, and carefully fed Li Shimin little by little.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh at this time, as if he had slept and refreshed a little, he opened his mouth and said hard: "I ...... Where is this? β
He spoke in a soft voice, and Chen Zhengtai could barely hear it clearly with his ears almost close to his mouth.
However, Chen Zhengtai's heart still couldn't help but rejoice, Li Shimin's desire to survive became stronger and stronger, so he said: "Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's secret room for recuperation, Your Majesty was hit by an arrow, have you forgotten?" The sons and queens, as well as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, operated on His Majesty here...... Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, and now ...... It's a lot better. If you can survive it, your majesty will be able to recover the dragon body sooner or later. β
Li Shimin thought about it hard, his cloudy eyes gradually became focused, at this time, he seemed to remember something, and then said softly: "In this way...... I pierced my heart with an arrow, but I was able to survive, this must be your wonderful rejuvenation, right? β
Chen Zhengtai is also not modest, you say that if you shoot through the heart, you will shoot through the heart with an arrow, Chen Zhengtai said: "This is nothing, in fact, it is all the credit of the eldest grandson Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Li Shimin had relief on his face, the eldest grandson queen didn't need to say it, he couldn't imagine that the prince also had this filial piety.
After all, Li Shimin came to the stage through the palace change, and he certainly loves his son, but if he is completely defenseless, this is absolutely impossible.
And the crown prince can clearly wait until he dies, and then he can happily ascend the throne. At most, after his death, he showed filial piety, but who would have thought that when he saw that his life was not long, the prince was willing to contribute.
As for Chen Zhengtai......
Li Shimin stared at Chen Zhengtai and said: "You have a meritorious service in saving the driver, but I have taken away your title, are you still willing to save me?" β
Chen Zhengtai immediately said with a straight face: "Erchen is not only a disciple of His Majesty, but also His Majesty's son-in-law, since His Majesty wants to take the title of Erchen, I think it is also for Erchen, okay, Erchen knows that His Majesty is ...... There will be no ill will. It is the duty of a son-in-law and a student to heal one's own superiors, so what is there that he will not will? β
"I know the word loyalty and filial piety today." Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.
This is true, as an emperor, I have seen too many fathers and sons, brothers vendettas, clan disharmony, monarchs and ministers are out of harmony, the so-called Son of Heaven has the authority of the world and controls the interests of the world, so he ...... At the center of this whirlpool, Li Shimin is more rational than anyone else, and knows that everyone in this world has selfishness and greed.
Can ...... now Li Shimin found that he owed Chen Zhengtai too much.
Chen Zhengtai persuaded at this time: "Your Majesty, let's rest well and work hard to recuperate." At this critical moment of life and death, His Majesty has not completely passed, and at this time, he should take care of the dragon's body. β
Li Shimin said: "I feel ...... I feel like I've slept for too long. This...... Rest...... Enough of the rest. Now...... I really don't want to close my eyes anymore and face the darkness that has no end in sight, so you sit aside...... Sit down next to me and talk to me. β
Chen Zhengtai understood Li Shimin's current feelings, but he didn't squirm, he simply sat aside, and then listened to Li Shimin ask again: "How is it outside now?" β
The so-called outside is naturally the outer court.
Chen Zhengtai said: "Erchen has been visiting His Majesty in the palace, and I don't know much about what happened outside, but I just know ...... Someone has a heart and a mind, as if they are planning something. β
"I can't die!" Li Shimin said with emotion: "If I die, I don't know how many people will celebrate with the crown." β
"Your Majesty is serious." Chen Zhengtai said: "In fact, there are still many people who are loyal to His Majesty and are very concerned. β
Li Shimin stubbornly shook his head, just because he was weak now, so he shook it very lightly, and said in his mouth: "Even people like Zhang Liang will rebel, and now in this world, except for you and my dearest relatives, who else can believe it?" When I was healthy, the reason why they were loyal to me was only because of their greed, suppressed by the fear of betraying me, but whenever they had the opportunity, they would still jump out. β
Chen Zhengtai laughed and said: "Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang has not usurped ...... courtesy."
Li Shimin savored this sentence carefully, and couldn't help but say: "You are writing poetry again." β
"This ......" Chen Zhengtai only subconsciously read it, and only then did he realize that it seemed that this poem was a little out of place, after all, the poet Bai Juyi had not yet been born, Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "Erchen...... It was a fluke. β
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "You are so strange, you always have to pretend to others, as if I am afraid that I will know that you are rich and rich." But the people in the world are completely different from you, even if they know that it is someone else's poem, they have to copy it under their own name, for fear that others will not know that he has the talent to learn. β
At this time, Li Shimin seemed to have recovered a lot.
Chen Zhengtai subconsciously touched his forehead again, feeling his body temperature, the high fever actually subsided a lot, it seems that penicillin has taken effect, and when he changed the dressing, he could already feel that the wound was going to heal quickly.
This made Chen Zhengtai's heart feel a lot easier, and he couldn't help but speak a little briskly: "Your Majesty's words make your sons and daughters embarrassed. β
Li Shimin said: "It is someone else who has no place to be ashamed, not you." β
His voice was a little louder: "Do you know why I want to revoke your title?" β
Chen Zhengtai had some thoughts in his heart, but at this time he shook his head: "Erchen doesn't want to know. β
"What a strange man." Li Shimin grinned reluctantly, and smiled: "If you don't want to, then I won't talk about it, but you need to know that I won't harm you, today I have experienced life and death, and I feel a lot of emotion, my condition, who knows now?" β
"Ah......" Chen Zhengtai said: "In fact, it is a great rebellion to operate on His Majesty, so ...... So in addition to Niangniang and the crown prince, there are also sons and princesses, and the two princesses, oh, and Zhang Qiangonggong, and the rest of them don't know the true situation of His Majesty. β
"It's better not to know." Li Shimin said: "I once wrote poems, and I know loyal ministers!" At this time, you can take a look, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, who is loyal and who is traitor! You will secretly pass on my secret decree to the prince later, and ...... for the time being Don't tell the news, I ...... For the time being, he doesn't need to take care of it, and he should go and see the hundred officials. β
How do you listen to it, it seems that Li Shimin wants to sneak attack and deceive.
Is that good?
