"Give this king a reason!" Leaning on the back of the chair, Li Fangchen was obviously a little curious.

Wang Jue sighed, lowered his head and said, "The old minister is old, I'm afraid he won't be able to be an official for a few years." ”

"So?"

"Therefore, the old minister wants to leave a clean household for future generations!"

"How clean do you want to be?"

A hint of joy flashed in Wang Jue's eyes, and Li Fangchen didn't notice it, "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, in the end, take this as a warning, no one will dare to commit it in the future!" ”

At the end of last year, Wang Qi was appointed as the head of the household department, and the original one was not as simple as resigning from the old man.

After investigation, he was greedy for millions of copper coins, so Li Shimin cut it.

Li Fangchen was silent, what did Wang Jue mean, he probably guessed it.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty are slightly special, and there are merchants in the side branches of the family, otherwise they can't afford to support a family.

They can rely on their power to go to the people to earn some "external blocks", and Li Shimin is not angry about this, but slightly supportive.

But if you are greedy for money from the government of the country, you will be guilty of ten thousand deaths!

Li Fangchen didn't pick up the account book, but continued to look at Wang Jue and said, "Wang Shangshu is afraid that he has a plan, can he tell the king everything?" ”

Wang Jue arched his hand, slightly flustered, "I don't dare to hide it." ”

Check the accounts, check the corruption. This is only Wang Jue's first step, he wants to borrow the hand of His Royal Highness the King of Qin to completely reverse the bad habits accumulated by the household department for many years.

Not for fame, not for money, but for his official heart.

There are many people who will ask, what does it mean to be open-minded?

He didn't want to go with the flow, and in the end he could only drown in the Haihe River, but if he was in the same stream, then he would have read all the sage books for so many years.

Nowadays, how many Confucianists are there?

At the beginning, Kong Yingda dared to face the saint and resigned, which was the foundation of the people's learning.

Why can't he, Wang Qi, return an innocent household to the Tang Dynasty and take future generations as a warning?

It is not so much that His Royal Highness was appointed by His Majesty and walked around the six departments, but that the current six departments need His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

Li Fangchen hesitated slightly, he didn't know that this was just the beginning.

Li Shimin and the six Shangshu had already had an idea, planning to borrow the hands of King Qin to rectify the various departments.

"You mean, the king is going to make a charter for the household?"

Wang Qi let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded: "His Royal Highness King Qin, the old minister replaces"

"Excuse me!"

There is no need to guess that it must be the people of the world in the back, thank you for your kindness What kind of mess, for Li Fangchen, it is useless.

Li Fangchen pondered and suddenly felt strange, could it be that his father had already had this intention?

On the other side, Li Chengqian and the saint in the palace looked at the slightly vicissitudes of his father's face, and he couldn't bear it.

"I thought you'd endure it for a month."

Li Shimin seemed to have expected it, put down the brush casually, and threw the fold aside.

Liu Sancheng arranged for someone to serve tea, and Li Chengqian and Li Shimin drank together.

"The sons are stupid, and they still hope that their father will atone for their sins."

Accuse first, although Li Chengqian didn't understand what his father meant.

Li Shimin snorted, "How?" Weird? ”

"Yes!"

"I'm not old yet!"

"When my father was in his prime, how could he get old, and his sons had no such intention."

"But the six departments are old, and Datang is also old."

"Father?"

Seeing Li Shimin's sudden change of words, Li Chengqian was a little at a loss.

Li Shimin got up and patted Li Chengqian, "I can't drink it, let's go out for a walk with me." ”

How can there be a saying that you can't drink the newly delivered good tea, I'm afraid that there is something in my heart.

Li Chengqian hurriedly accompanied him, his eyes were full of questions, what did his father mean by this?

The flowers in the garden are blooming, and the fragrance is refreshing, but Li Shimin and Li Chengqian do not have the slightest intention of appreciating the flowers.

During the walk, Li Shimin talked a lot, and Li Chengqian couldn't interject at all.

Because what Li Shimin said started from the second year of Zhenguan.

That year, a kid named Fang Chen recklessly broke into the Tang Dynasty.

Since that year, Datang has changed and become very unfamiliar.

After the establishment of King Qin, the Tang Dynasty entered an unprecedented prosperous time, in Li Shimin's view, this son is a treasure given to him by God, and no one can replace it.

King Qin's policy of destroying the country, and King Qin's theory of rejuvenating the country, was also shown in front of the world later.

At that time, Li Shimin was heroic in his heart and dared to compare himself with Tiangong.

With the development of time, the theory of the rejuvenation of the country of King Qin began to be deepened and implemented in the court.

In more than a decade, everything has changed.

Until the end of last year, when Li Shimin was discussing national policy with a group of confidants, a sharp question was placed in front of them.

If the previous Datang changed from a Mengtong to a student who read poetry and books, then the later Datang was this student who was knocked out of his legs.

The old way of thinking has made them, the old ministers, unable to keep up with the Tang Dynasty.

There was a problem with all six departments, which was simply intolerable to Li Shimin.

Ordered the replacement of six Shangshu, and at the same time cut the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, the reason for this is one word, greed!

The crown prince and the Confucians were thinking about the establishment of schools all day long, and the rest of the officials did not see any improvement except for the maintenance of state affairs, and Li Shimin was angry.

What makes him even more incomprehensible may be King Qin.

"Father, what do you mean, the second brother?"

"He's too lazy, I don't want him to be an idle king completely!"

Today, King Qin seems to be less vigorous than before, but more like an old man who is about to die, avoiding the court and losing confidence in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin finally figured out what the "virtuous king" in Li Fangchen's mouth meant.

In private, I scolded this kid bastard, the virtuous king and the idle king, can they be the same?

"The second brother Jianzhuang, isn't it also for the sake of the people of the world?"

Li Shimin snorted, "It's such a trivial matter, he just arranged for Qingque to do it, why did he shrink in that little Qin Wangzhuang." ”

Li Chengqian was speechless for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that the second brother has indeed changed since returning from the war.

"He is the King of Qin of Datang, he should have done more for Datang!"

Li Chengqian didn't know how to respond, and even wanted to mention the second brother in his heart.

Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian, "Do you think he has done enough?" ”

"Yes, Erchen thinks that the second brother was so comfortable before, very good!"

"Stupid! If this is the case, how can I entrust the country to you? ”

"Huh? Father? ”

Li Shimin stopped and sighed, "This kid is getting lazier and lazier!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't dare to answer again, and always felt that the deep meaning of Li Shimin's words could not be understood.

"Buddhism turned into a medical temple, he did a good job, but then he handed over power and gave you the prince, do you think he really doesn't want to compete with you for the throne?"

"The retainers don't know"

"He's afraid, afraid that I'll be wary of him, he's very careful with every step he takes now, he's already regarded himself as a courtier!"

Li Chengqian wanted to say, is there anything wrong with this?

But Li Shimin hadn't finished speaking, so he shut up decisively.

"What I want is not the current courtier King Qin, but the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty who was bold and dared to stab the sky!" （）
