Chapter 4: Enlightenment

Moments later, a man in his thirties appeared in front of everyone.

He saluted and said, "Minister Xu Jingzong pays a visit to the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!"

Li Shimin waved his hand.

Then Xu Jingzong straightened up.

And Li Chengqian's eyes stared at him for a while, and the system did not disappoint him.

"Xu Jingzong, the object of intimidation, was detected, prompting: Did you scare him?"

Then a pair of options appeared in front of Xu Jingzong.

[Yes] [No]

Hate! Why don't you be scared, you have to get something from the traitor Xu Jingzong.

Therefore it must not be feared.

Of course, it is to press [Yes]

Just wait for the opportunity to come, and you can start it.

Li Chengqian stared at Xu Jingzong as if he was looking at his prey.

Xu Jingzong was a little evasive of Li Chengqian's gaze, after all, it was uncomfortable to be stared at like this.

waited until Li Shimin asked, "Why did Aiqing come to find me this time?" ”

Because generally speaking, if they can't find Li Shimin, they will choose to stay and wait in the Taiji Palace, rather than rushing to the East Palace to find him.

After all, the emperor also has his own privacy and his own private life, so coming in such a hurry must be a major event.

"Your Majesty, the minister came today to tell you something!"

Xu Jingzong said.

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"The minister thinks about it day and night, and thinks about a lot of things, and now the internal and external troubles of the Tang Dynasty are still obvious, and the treasury is empty, so the minister thinks that maybe the treasury can be expanded by increasing taxes, used to recruit soldiers, and solve the external troubles, and then comfort the people after the country has passed the difficulties! In this way, Datang will be strong! ”

This is Li Shimin's second year in power, and not long after the Weishui Covenant was signed, the Turks are still eyeing the Tang Dynasty.

Coupled with the wars in recent years, the treasury of Datang has been empty, and there is no money to ask for money, and there is no one to ask for it.

When Li Shimin heard this, he fell into deep thought, this is a big deal, as the emperor, of course, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

During this period of time, he also convened the ministers many times to discuss, but he could not find a better solution.

Today, Xu Jingzong took the initiative to look for it, and he was also concerned about this matter, and at the same time reminded him of this matter.

I can't help frowning!

But Xu Jingzong's performance, in Li Chengqian's view, is to love to behave and want to show in front of Li Shimin.

If Datang does what he wants, he must die.

Just as he was thinking about how to scare Xu Jingzong, he suddenly had an idea, and a large number of principles of governing the country flashed out of his mind.

In this way, the talent for governing the country has been directly activated, and all kinds of governing principles are at your fingertips!

So, he was scared.

"Your Majesty, regarding Xu Jingzong's suggestion, the sons and daughters have objections!"

Li Shimin was shocked, at this time, Li Chengqian actually took the initiative to care about the affairs of the same family.

So he said, "Qian'er, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not participated in state affairs, and objections are not acceptable."

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingzong took the initiative to shut up Li Chengqian.

directly persuaded Li Shimin not to accept it.

So Li Chengqian began to go crazy.

"Xu Jingzong! What are you talking about? Can't this king put forward his own opinion? As the old saying goes, 'if the people are rich, it is easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it is difficult to govern', and enriching the people is the primary task of ensuring the long-term peace and stability of the country. And you're going to prey on people by increasing taxes, and you know that if you do that, you're going to get people into dire straits!

The so-called people are like water, water can carry boats, and boats can also be overturned. The people are the foundation of the country, and if the people lose their hearts, the country will not be a country! This is harming Datang, not saving Datang!

As the imperial court, shouldn't you worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joys of the world later? Xu Jingzong, you have read so many books in vain! What a disappointment! ”

Li Chengqian's words were like a resounding slap in the face to Xu Jingzong.

Everyone was amazed that a nine-year-old child was here to talk to them about the country's principles, and it was very reasonable.

Of course, they didn't know that a hint appeared in front of Li Chengqian's eyes at this time.

Prompt:

Xu Jingzong dropped three skills and attributes, please choose one of the options.

Skill 1: Brilliant writing

Skill 2: Poetry proficiency

Attribute 1: Intelligence +2

What the heck?

Xu Jingzong couldn't even drop good things? What are these skills? It's really a garbage skill!

No way, if he really wanted to choose one, he chose attribute one, intelligence +2

With this selection, the panel has been refreshed.

Host: Li Chengqian

Intelligence: 11

Charm: 0 to be unlocked (popularity, opposite sex value, celebrity favorability, the higher the value, the greater the success rate of winning over famous generals and ministers, and the intelligence of 60 unlocked!) )

Force: 0 to be unlocked (comprehensive value of physical strength and martial arts, 60 charm unlocked!) )

Politics: 0 to be unlocked (political ability value, the higher the stronger, the force 60 unlocked!) )

Command: 0 to be unlocked (the higher the command ability, the higher the value, the stronger the command ability, and the political 60 unlocks!) )

Skills: Unforgettable, statecraft

When his intelligence increased, his head was cool, and his memory of the books he had read before became more profound.

The addition of intelligence is of course a good thing, and as intelligence increases, it is possible that anything you have seen before can be recalled.

The choice was only in a split second.

While he was thinking, suddenly Kong Yingda spoke.

"Your Majesty, the old man agrees with His Royal Highness the Prince's words! The so-called country should be people-oriented, once the country has no foundation, then how can the country be said? ”

This old guy is still very respectable, he agrees with him in business, but in private matters, he is still unhappy with himself.

This old guy can be regarded as a clear distinction between public and private.

Xu Jingzong was unwilling, and responded continuously: "So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a better solution?" ”

didn't wait for Li Chengqian to speak, but Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "If Qian'er has a way, then what use do you want?" What do you officials eat every year? He's still a kid! ”

Being said like this made Xu Jingzong ashamed.

He was no longer disobedient to Li Shimin, so he had to say: "Yes! The emperor said it very right! ”

"Okay, gather the people from the six departments to the Taiji Palace for another discussion!"

Judging from Li Shimin's reaction, he already agrees with Li Chengqian's view.

But he didn't even want to praise himself, this guy is really stingy.

This statecraft is really useful.

"Yes! Then go and summon! Retire! ”

Xu Jingzong subconsciously glanced at Li Chengqian, with some evil intentions in his eyes, Li Chengqian embarrassed him today, this guy is afraid that he will give Li Chengqian small shoes to wear!

Li Chengqian looked indifferent to these.

How love drips! What does it have to do with me?
