Li Shimin showed a look of surprise and said, "Father is actually interested in farming?" ”

This is quite unexpected, Li Yuan likes to sow seeds, and Li Shimin is clear. But I really just heard about farming.

Since Li Yuan moved to the valley, the two have hardly met. Li Yuan didn't see what Li Shimin meant, and Li Shimin was a little deliberately evasive. It's just that the two of them didn't make it clear.

Li Yuan was usurped by his son, and it is definitely impossible to say that he is not uncomfortable at all. How can a self-made monarch not have arrogance in his heart? But the sons of the best have been slaughtered by this most prominent son, and only this one son is left, what can he do except pinch his nose and admit it? Anyway, I'm old, so it's better to cultivate myself in the valley and strive to live for two more years.

As for Li Shimin, being busy is one thing, and more than that, he doesn't want to see him. He is already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and in front of the world, he is high and can be described as the supreme in the world. Only in front of Li Yuan, he has to be a son, and he is not pretending to be a son, but a real son. Normally, this would not happen. The new monarch ascends the throne, and it must be after the death of the first emperor. But he was a usurper, so every time he saw Li Yuan alive, he had to be forced to think about what he had done. It's not that you can't face it, after all, it's not necessary.

But it doesn't mean that if Li Shimin doesn't go to see Li Yuan, he won't be filial. These things have been arranged very well by Empress Changsun. Every three days, Empress Changsun would send someone to visit her and ask what she needed.

Li Yuan is not satisfied with his son, but this daughter-in-law is not dissatisfied. Seeing that it was someone sent by Empress Changsun, he would basically give a good face, but if it was someone sent by Li Shimin, he would not have so much patience.

"Are you saying that the seeds cultivated by my father are better than the seeds in Li Mu's hands?"

Gonggong Gao nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, in terms of output, it is like this. Listening to the palace people who served the Emperor Taishang, when the Marquis of Zhulu was leaving, he came to the valley to say goodbye to the Emperor Taishang, and taught the Emperor the method of selecting seeds. ”

"Oh." Li Shimin nodded knowingly, and said, "Later, you go to the East Palace, and ask Cheng Qian to go to the valley to pick up a big potato and bring some back, and the instructions are clear, don't say that I want to eat." ”

"The old slave understands." Gao Gonggong responded, knowing very well in his heart that if Li Shimin said that he wanted to eat, Li Yuan would definitely not give it to him.

The knot between the father and son has not been untied in the end.

……

Li Shimin finished breakfast, and the time for the court meeting came. Li Shimin put the note into his sleeve and came to the Liangyi Palace.

Except for important festivals, there are almost every day of the court, which is actually quite tiring. Few people can stand it, otherwise there would not be so many faint kings in history. Since ancient times, how many of them have fought the world really to be saviors? To fight the world, it is natural to want to sit in the world. How to sit in the world? Of course, how comfortable it is. A diligent emperor like Li Shimin is an outlier, and most of the real emperor templates are Li Yuan's kind. The early stage is wise, and the later stage is stupid. You have to enjoy life, right?

Li Shimin is diligent in government and thinks from the perspective of human nature, which is actually easy to understand. This throne should not have been his, he got it, and naturally cherished it. Of course, he can be like Li Yuan, who is extravagant in the harem, but in the harem, how can he appear to be the emperor? Ordinary people, rich people, anyone can marry a few more concubines. Only by sitting on the dragon chair and enjoying the worship of the most capable group of people who stand out among the people in the world can we reflect the superiority of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

The taste of power is always so addictive.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and looked at the group of people in the hall. He can see everyone's expressions, even psychological thoughts, clearly. His state of mind at this time is completely different from when he first became the emperor.

When he first sat in this position, he was still a little jealous and hateful. He knows what certain people think, and when these people put on a hypocritical show, he feels disgusted. I've seen through you, you're still acting, aren't you insulting my intelligence? How can such a person stay in the court! So when he first became the emperor, he cleaned up the court several times. But the result was unsatisfactory, the court was cleared a little, but the reputation was almost ruined. At that time, Zheng Jing and the Louvre, these great Confucians, were still in Chang'an, and they mobilized the protégés of the academy to criticize Li Shimin as worthless.

At this time, Li Shimin realized that he couldn't do whatever he wanted as an emperor. He wanted to kill these people, but he couldn't. Because as long as he kills, he will be said to be right, and no matter how good he does, the notoriety will never linger again.

So, he had no choice but to perform, making the appearance of respecting Confucianism and courtesy to the scholars. As a result, the operation to clean up the court was also stopped. The court has gradually become the scene of the monarch and the minister's play. Li Shimin also gradually learned the so-called way of balance.

In a court, if there are civil servants, there must be military generals. If there are clean officials, there must be corrupt officials. There are fierce people who are not afraid of death, and there must also be treacherous villains. Just like if there is a sun, there must be a moon, and if there is a man, there must be a woman—

Li Shimin glanced at Gonggong Gao and couldn't help but smile.

He was distracted.

Zheng Yushi was talking eloquently, talking about potatoes. Last night, he fought at night and prepared a sprinkling of 10,000 characters, in order to give it a go today. Just as he was talking about the excitement, he couldn't help but be angry when he heard a laugh, looked over with laughter, and saw that it was Li Shimin, and he was angry and held back again, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, the minister said that the people take food as the sky, why did Your Majesty laugh?"

"I think it's very reasonable," Li Shimin came to his senses, looked at Zheng Yushi, and said, "It's just that I don't understand, what do you mean by telling me these truths that everyone knows?"

Zheng Yushi was about to speak, but Li Shimin said again: "In my opinion, you say so many words, in fact, they are all nonsense, and all you ask for is one thing, you want potato seeds!" ”

"Minister......

"Do you dare to say no?" A playful smile appeared on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, and said, "If you say no, then the potato seeds will be gone." ”

Zheng Yushi choked a stiff, but he quickly reacted, Li Shimin has something to say, does potato seeds have a door? His purpose is potato seeds, if there is a chance to get them, how much is the face worth? Thinking of this, Zheng Yushi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and you can see the minister's thoughts at a glance. The minister really wants potato seeds, but he doesn't want it, but he wants to benefit the world, if Luoyang Hou Ken takes out the seeds, he doesn't give any to the minister, and the minister is also happy to see it. ”

"Good!" Li Shimin stroked his palms and smiled: "It turns out that I misunderstood you, Zheng Aiqing is dedicated to the public, and I am very happy to see it." In this way, I will fulfill your name, and the potato seeds that Li Mu took out will not be given to you Xingyang Zheng. ”

"Huh?" Zheng Yushi was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't mean that, the minister is talking about the minister himself-"

"You are presumptuous!" Li Shimin snorted angrily, and the entire hall seemed to be cold several degrees in an instant. Zheng Yushi was so frightened that he knelt down, shaking like chaff, cold sweat fell down his cheeks, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"This meaning, that meaning, which one do you mean? Yesterday day, today day, one day is not enough for you to grind your teeth, my court meeting is for you? Aren't you for the public? I've fulfilled you, what's wrong? If you are selfish, then you are playing tricks! You are the imperial history, you should clarify the criminal law, and you say it yourself, what should you do if you are guilty of bullying the king? ”

What else can Zheng Yushi say, he pestle his head on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Minister, don't dare to play with Your Majesty, the minister is dedicated to the public, thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”

Li Shimin laughed, motioned to Gonggong Gao to help Zheng Yushi up, and said: "That's right, you are dedicated to the public, and I am also dedicated to the people, so a good story can be achieved." As he spoke, he took out Li Mu's flying pigeon biography and said, "Yesterday, Zheng Yushi mentioned the matter of potatoes, and I thought about it again and again, and I felt very reasonable. Although this matter still made Li Mu feel wronged. But in the face of righteousness and society, I still believe that Li Mu can distinguish between right and wrong. Therefore, I passed the book with flying pigeons, moved Li Mu with affection, understood it with reason, and showed my face, and finally contributed to this matter. ”

When the officials heard this, they all showed joy. This is arguably beneficial to all. Everyone couldn't help but look at Zheng Yushi, what a good person, he gave up one of himself, fulfilled everyone, and sacrificed himself to save others.

"However, Li Mu has conditions."

Li Shimin's voice came into their ears again, and everyone did not feel disappointed, but felt relieved. That's right, what kind of person Li Mu is, they all know it in their hearts. If Li Mu didn't take the opportunity to extort something, they wouldn't be at ease, because that meant that Li Mu would have a bigger plan. But since he opened his mouth, the business was settled. Li Mu is this good, he can still keep his integrity in a business with a clear price.

Everyone glanced at each other, and the eldest grandson Wuji came out of class and said, "I don't know what the conditions of Luoyang Hou are?" ”

"Three conditions." Li Shimin handed the note to Gonggong Gao and motioned for him to take it down and circulate it: "First, potato seeds are limited, and they are only supplied to areas where the new policy has been implemented. Second, potato seeds are not given in vain, and high-quality rice must be used, two catties for one catty. Third, potatoes are not allowed to leave the country, and potato seeds are smuggled and punished. ”

Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to say anything, Li Shimin set the tone first: "I think that none of Li Mu's three requirements are excessive. On issues involving the people and the community, Li Mu's consciousness is still very high, and he is dedicated to the public, he is practicing what he does, not talking on paper. I'm very pleased, I'm so relieved! ”

(refresh later)" "This meaning, that meaning, which one do you mean?" Yesterday day, today day, one day is not enough for you to grind your teeth, my court meeting is for you?
