Chapter 209: The Way of Governance
Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded at her, indicating that she could speak.
Empress Changsun said: "In the afternoon, half of the merchants in Chang'an City directly closed down. ”
"And then? What's next? ”
Li Chengqian was very puzzled. Here's what happened.
"These merchants have an inseparable connection with the Wang family, and the Wang family also asked people to come and write a letter to the emperor, asking for Wang Guifei to be spared."
Empress Eldest Sun said.
It seems that they have taken great pains to do such a thing.
But for the sake of Wang Guifei, they should work hard, as long as people live, everything can start again.
But now Li Shimin is so angry, how can he let her start all over again, her intentions are not good, it is good to let her go.
Although she didn't want to say it either.
But it's also unavoidable.
Even if it is unfair to Li Chengqian.
After all, this princess almost killed Li Chengqian.
"So...... The father directly pardoned Wang Guifei? ”
Empress Eldest Sun nodded.
However, Li Chengqian was puzzled.
"Why let her go? This Wang family's influence on the Datang market must be heavily punished! Why let her go! Why! ”
His first reaction was to severely punish the Wang family, how could he allow them to be so presumptuous?
Li Shimin sighed, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.
Then, he excused himself and said, "Qian'er, you and your queen mother have a good chat, and I will go out for a walk!" ”
After that, no matter what Li Chengqian thought, he left the Taiji Palace directly.
He seemed a little embarrassed here.
He, the emperor, should not be considered very stable, especially when the economy is in the hands of the royal family.
For the sake of face, he didn't want to stay here, for fear that something unhappy would happen.
"Queen Mother, the Wang family must have a lot of benefits, right?"
"Yes, in order to protect Wang Guifei, the Wang family directly took one million yuan as a price, in order to pardon Wang Guifei and spare her life."
Others don't know the meaning of one million guan, but Li Chengqian does.
Consistent money is a thousand, a million, equivalent to a billion as much.
The entire Datang treasury is estimated to be about 10 billion, and a billion will come all of a sudden, and anyone will be moved, let alone Li Shimin.
This billion money can make Li Shimin much better, and it can make the Wang family bleed, and fools will choose.
Empress Changsun then said: "The emperor didn't want to agree, but then when I thought of the empty treasury, and the drought in Shandong was just less than a year, the people were poor, and there was no food or drink, and the emperor couldn't sleep when he thought of it." Now that they all need money, why not borrow it to do a big construction? Moreover, it can also replenish the treasury, and in the end, it can also suppress the financial level of the Wang family and make their influence smaller. And this cut, just need to pay a little price. ”
Li Shimin is a smart person, he does this, it can be said that he can kill more than one stone, just need to spare Wang Guifei's life, he can get so much, in front of the country, even if he lets Wang Guifei live, so what?
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and Empress Changsun was afraid that Li Chengqian didn't understand.
Then he said: "Child, you are still young and don't understand these things, but the queen mother wants to tell you that when you reach the position of your father, you will naturally understand all this, this is politics, in the face of politics, there are some things that can be given up, you can give up directly." ”
Li Chengqian said something that shocked Empress Changsun even more.
"Queen Mother, Erchen understands that Erchen doesn't have any special feelings about the life or death of Wang Guifei, anyway, she is no longer in the center of power, and Erchen is not afraid that she will be unfavorable to me again. And the purpose of his father's doing this, the sons and daughters also know very clearly. This time, the Wang family used the strength of the whole family to protect a Wang Guifei, then their behavior was the beginning, and they were the beginning of their demise. In the future, Erchen will dismantle the royal family step by step and let them exist in name only! ”
A family controls a dynasty, and that is a very deadly thing.
Li Chengqian had beaten the Wang family twice before, and now he has strengthened his determination.
The Wang family must be solved.
In this way, if he takes power in the future, everything will be easy, and he will not be as aggrieved as Li Shimin, nor will he talk to himself like him, and he will avoid it, because he is ashamed of him.
Regarding Li Chengqian's words, Empress Changsun took a long time to react.
"What! Son, where did you learn that? ”
She felt shocked, why did Li Chengqian know this.
At the same time, another voice rang out.
"Qian'er, tell me more, what do you think next~"
It turned out to be Li Shimin, just now, he didn't leave, but listened to it on the side.
No, it's back again, and he really wants to know what Li Chengqian thinks next.
It's rare for Li Chengqian to be so sensible, Li Shimin may have thought that this prince would cry and make trouble, but it seems that he didn't, and it didn't look like a child's reaction at all.
When he heard Li Chengqian's opinion, he was also shocked by his opinion, and even forgot that he was going out.
Li Chengqian went on to say:
"Then there are the other four, the lifeblood of a country is the economy, if the economy is not in their control, some government decrees will not be implemented, and such a country, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch, it is difficult! This is something we don't want to see, so these great families have to clean it up, as for their financial resources. In this way, it will make my Datang stronger and the treasury more abundant! ”
Li Chengqian said a lot, and every time he said a word, Li Shimin nodded yes.
At the same time, Li Shimin didn't dare to disturb Li Chengqian, and let Li Chengqian speak, he just listened there, like a studious student.
Finally, when Li Chengqian finished speaking.
Li Shimin suddenly realized.
"Qian'er, where did you learn these truths? And these views, how did you come up with them! ”
What is learned is only theory, and perception is completely subjective consciousness.
Li Chengqian's ability is very strong.
can make Li Shimin also feel shocked.
However, Li Chengqian could not say that he was able to govern the country, and he was still brought down from Li Shimin.
So he said: "Father, my son has been reading books on governing the country recently, and I just happened to feel it. ”
"Good, good! What you just said is good, I am very pleased, it seems that I am right to let you listen to politics and engage in politics, study hard, and after a hundred years, you will be the only king of this Tang Dynasty! The only day of this land! ”
"Yes! Father! ”
"Alright, let's move on to calligraphy!"
"Yes! Father! ”
A family of three, happy and happy.
And Li Chengqian looked calm, but in his heart, there was another idea brewing, that is, to kill the Wang family, if anyone dared to stop him, then the end would be the same as Xu Jingzong, he would never be soft!
