Everyone in the hall looked at the old Fang Xuanling kneeling on the ground, and they all felt that this old man was very pitiful.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, is it possible to work hard for Datang all my life to get such a result?

Li Shimin felt the atmosphere in the hall, and he also felt a little sorry for this old friend, but he also knew that Li Chengqian could not give in again.

Even if Li Chengqian gave in, Li Shimin would not be able to watch the rebellious ministers go unpunished.

Li Chengqian looked at Fang Xuanling indifferently, and said lightly: "Fang Xuanling, do you think that you are loyal to Datang in this life, and Datang apologizes to you a lot?"

"Don't dare!"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said.

"Don't dare? That's right, you have made great contributions for the Tang Dynasty and for your father, and you should have enjoyed the honor.

But think about it, how much layout have you done over the years in order to make the Fang family a thousand-year-old family?"

Fang Xuanling raised his head in horror when he heard this: "The minister doesn't, the minister ......."

Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him, and snorted coldly: "No? Your eldest son married his wife Yongzhou Du, the second son Princess Shang, the third son married the county lord, the eldest daughter married King Han, the second daughter married Xingyang Zheng, and your wife was born in the Fanyang Lu family, which family do you say your fourth son is going to marry?"

Fang Xuanling heard Li Chengqian talk about the in-laws he married his children one by one, and his face turned pale with fright and trembled.

Fools can hear that Li Chengqian is very dissatisfied with his approach, and this dissatisfaction almost means that the Fang clan is very likely to be exterminated.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling didn't speak, Li Chengqian continued: "You are so ambitious, but you don't know how to educate your children and grandchildren. Your sons are all bent on repeating the old path of pushing your father to ascend the throne, and always want to become the founding hero in one fell swoop.

You ask yourself, should Datang be in chaos forever?"

Li Chengqian's question Li Shimin's face was difficult to look at first, but at this time he had nothing to refute.

Even if Li Shimin had a reason, he couldn't refute it, after all, he didn't want Datang to be like this in the future.

There are always people who want to copy the successful experience, and several coups on the throne in the Tang Dynasty have traces of imitating Li Shimin's Xuanwumen coup.

But Li Jing and Gao Shilian in the main hall are all secretly saying in their hearts: The tree is a big wind!

Fang Xuanling heard Li Chengqian say his selfishness, his heart was already in chaos, and it took a while before he kowtowed and said, "The minister is guilty!" ”

"You are guilty, the Lone King knows, and the Lone King also gave you a chance, so it is not a grievance to let you go to the Jiucheng Palace to retire, right?"

Fang Xuanling didn't dare to say anything.

Li Shimin said with an embarrassed face: "Cheng Qian, I summoned Fang Qing to the north. ”

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes weakly when he heard this, knowing that since Fang Xuanling's selfishness had been pointed out, the other ministers understood him a little bit, so he didn't say anything more.

After a while, Li Chengqian saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said to everyone: "Since the matter has been settled, let's eat!" As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth and began to chew it.

Everyone didn't expect Li Chengqian's heart to be so big, and at this time, he actually had the heart to eat with them?

couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian's eyes and became even more surprised.

Li Chengqian swallowed the chicken in his mouth, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him in surprise, he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Why don't you eat it?" This is a banquet specially set up by my father for you, and it will be a waste if you don't eat it.

A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and half a thread and half a thread of perseverance are difficult to materialize, and food is not allowed to be wasted here! ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin almost had an urge to beat him.

Gao Shilian, Li Jing and others sitting below couldn't laugh or cry, they were such a bunch of old men, and they were actually taught a lesson by Li Chengqian......

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, wait for the ministers to eat."

In the end, Li Jing smiled and picked up chopsticks and began to eat.

Because Li Shimin was still ill, Li Chengqian was directly forbidden to drink, and several old guys were afraid of being taught a lesson by Li Chengqian again, so they hurriedly finished eating and retired.

After the outsiders were gone, Li Chengqian and Li Ke sent Li Shimin back to the Houshi Hall to rest.

Li Shimin said as he walked: "Cheng Qian, Xuan Ling has worked hard to establish a thousand-year-old family, and he has also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so I am afraid that such a result will make people feel cold!" ”

Qianjin City's horse bones are for others to see, Fang Xuanling has worked hard for Li Tang all his life, if there is no good result, other courtiers will no longer be loyal to Datang.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he just said lightly: "Fang Xuanling's descendants can't support his ambitions, and this can't be blamed on others."

And going to sea is not a bad thing, if his children and grandchildren multiply overseas, they may not be able to become a thousand-year-old family. ”

Speaking of going to sea, Li Shimin turned to look at Li Ke again, his eyes were very gentle, and he said for a while: "It's just that Ke'er is suffering." ”

Hearing this, Li Ke saluted Li Shimin with a resolute expression: "Father, emperor, and ministers have decided to fight for the Tang Dynasty in the overseas world. ”

"Hmm!"

Li Shimin nodded and walked straight forward, there were many things he couldn't change.

Li Ke's going to sea is something that Li Chengqian has arranged for more than a year, and Li Shimin can't stop Li Ke even if he is reluctant to do it now.

Especially after today, the Tang Dynasty will go to sea and implicate dozens of noble ministers involved in rebellion, if they can't make the trip, they can only watch Li Chengqian raise the butcher's knife.

After arranging Li Shimin, Li Chengqian told Li Ke some things about going to sea, told him the general method of making telescopes and compasses, and then returned to the East Palace to deal with government affairs.

---------------

As soon as Li Chengqian returned to the Chongjiao Palace, he saw that Xue Dading, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was already waiting here.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xue Dading hurriedly came out to salute.

"Xue Qing's family is flat." Li Chengqian waved his hand as he walked inside.

Li Chengqian walked up to the throne and sat down, and Xue Dading also came to the throne.

"What happened to Xue Qing's family when they came to see King Lone?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are two things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to decide." Xue Dading said honestly.

"Xue Qing's family, please speak!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, at last year's Thousand Parliamentary Political Meeting, the villagers in the south of Chang'an City said that there was no water to induce, and they could not irrigate the fertile fields in every drought year.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once ordered his ministers to investigate the digging of ditches to divert water, and the ministers measured the water diversion channels in the autumn of last year, and dug them for a winter last year, because the spring planting stopped the project.

A few days ago, there was little rain in the south of Chang'an, and the villagers wanted to open the water diversion ditch immediately.

However, passing through Dugu, the people of the Du clan in the south of the city said that it was the place where the Du clan was fond of feng shui, and they were not allowed to dig it. ”

Li Chengqian's heart was on fire when he heard this, and he asked coldly: "After the canal is dug, can it irrigate many fields?"

Xue Dading replied honestly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, if Dugu leads the Baima River down to the south, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Lantian County can be irrigated. ”

Li Chengqian said with a serious face: "The matter involves tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, which is the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, and it cannot be stopped by the Du clan with a nihilistic theory, and directly send the forbidden army to it, and those who dare to obstruct it will be killed." ”

"Obey the order!"

"What else?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the sewers in Chang'an City have already measured it, and they are ready to start ...... in three days." Xue Dading said and looked at Li Chengqian with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "The lonely king said to go to work, that is a must, you go to discuss with Master Hao, and see where to erect a monument."

At that time, the lonely king took the civil and military officials to dig the first milling soil. ”

"Obey the order!"
