is different from Li Yun's miscellaneous feudal town, Li Chongjin is the nephew of Guo Wei, the ancestor of this dynasty, and the sister-in-law of the eldest princess of Fuqing.

What's more, before Taizu's death, the battle for the heir to the throne started between Li Chongjin and Chai Rong. For this reason, he also took the life of the powerful minister, the privy envoy Wang Jun.

In the end, Chai Rong, as the adopted son of Taizu, won the final victory.

People who know the inside story basically believe that Chai Rong's aunt, Queen Shengmu, played a vital role in it.

I think that at the beginning, after the death of Zhuangzong in the Later Tang Dynasty, not long after Mingzong ascended the throne, he dismissed all Zhuangzong's concubines and went home, including the Chai family.

Unexpectedly, on the way home, Chai met Guo Wei, who was still a down-and-out soldier. At that time, Guo Wei was very unsatisfactory, lazy and good at gambling, with no tiles, penniless, so poor that he was about to be pants, and he was very unproductive.

As a result, the Chai family was optimistic about Guo Wei, and despite the opposition of the old lady Chai, he took the initiative to commit to Guo Wei with a rich dowry.

Relying on Chai's dowry, Guo Wei had the capital to buy off his boss, and then like a popeye who ate spinach, in just a few years, he rose to prominence and became a general in the Later Han Dynasty.

Today, although the eldest princess of Fuqing has passed away, Li Chongjin is indeed the cousin of the current little emperor.

It is precisely because of the complexity of this relationship that Li Zhongyi also wants to test the views of the cabinet ministers on this matter.

Wei Renpu is the oldest and the prime minister, so everyone's eyes are naturally focused on him.

Between Li Qiong and Chai Rong, since he was defeated by Lin Huzi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he has been cut off. It's just that Li Qiong is a little curious, what kind of attitude does Old Minister Wei have?

Wei Renpu is an understanding person, otherwise, it would be impossible to become one of the eight phases of Tuogu!

Since Li Zhongyi broke the unspoken rule of thousands of years of imperial power in the county, and sent Tingzheng and Cunzheng to each pavilion and village, he has completely grasped the real power at the grassroots level.

In addition, under the organization and mobilization of the village and the pavilion, the township armies from the village to the pavilion and then to the county have also been formed.

After all, Wei Renpu is the prime minister, and his sources are far better than those who are far from the center of power. Although he didn't say anything, he understood very well in his heart: The Chai family's world is already in the past!

Zi said: If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed!

To put it bluntly, Wei Renpu is old, and none of his children and grandchildren are angry, and he will have to rely on Li Zhongyi to give extra rewards in the future, so that it is possible to barely keep the façade of the Prime Minister's Mansion from falling.

"Lord, raising troops to rebel is a heinous crime that can punish the five clans." Wei Renpu sighed secretly, and in desperation, he had no choice but to tell lies with his conscience.

Under the roof, Wei Renpu could only take care of his own family and clansmen first. As for Taizu Guo Wei's promotion grace and the first emperor Chai Rong's grace of entrusting orphans, let's put them aside for the time being.

At the heart of playing politics, there is nothing too complicated about the logic, in the final analysis, there is only one thing: choose the right backer and always stand in the right team.

Li Qiong sighed secretly, Li Zhongyi once said a famous saying: On which mountain, you must sing which song, and whoever doesn't sing will eliminate whom!

The so-called King of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace!

When Wei Renpu couldn't figure out Li Zhongyi's thoughts, he would rather take drastic medicine than dare to be a little lenient, which was also very in line with the political correctness of grace.

Wei Renpu, the left minister, made his position and attitude clear, and Li Qiong, the right minister, could not escape it.

Li Qiong and Li Chongjin have never had anything to do with each other, and there is no room for favoritism, so they simply said directly: "In the shallow view of the old minister, the court has a law, and it only needs to be handed over to the Dali Division for trial in accordance with the law." ”

Liu Jinshan glanced at Li Qiong, and secretly praised in his heart, Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, Li Qiong stands firmly above the law, which is just in line with Li Zhongyi's basic concept of governing the country and the army that has always paid attention to the legal system.

Li Zhongyi also nodded secretly, Li Qiong, the old ancestor, don't look at the fact that he doesn't take care of things on weekdays, but his position at critical moments is as stable as Mount Tai.

If there are no rules, how can it be a circle?

The so-called Chrysostom and Jade Words, the export becomes an edict, and it seems that the power of individuals has swelled to the extreme, and they can do everything they want. In fact, society as a whole, including the emperor himself, did not feel safe.

The logic is very clear, the emperor himself changes his orders and governs the country by speaking, and the ministers below must be at a loss. The civil and military generals are to blame at every turn, and even die and the clan is wiped out, and sooner or later they will collectively turn back because of great fear.

In a society where there is a general sense of insecurity, the so-called honesty and contract are just castles in the air, and whoever believes in them is stupid!

Li Zhongyi administers the army with the basic principle that rules are greater than heaven, and requires soldiers to regard obedience to orders as their duty and never punish them for failing to teach.

To put it bluntly, the Judge Advocate General's Department, which supervises the armed forces full-time, has no right to make decisions on its own, and must report to Li Zhongyi's desk.

After Li Zhongyi convened the military's think tanks for discussion, the military law interpretation he made did not apply retroactively, but only bound similar acts in the future.

The old revolution would always encounter new problems, and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief made a final decision and added a number of articles to the decree that drew inferences from one case to another, the essence of which was: to make military law more in line with the needs of the times.

There is no explicit provision in the law, and it is not a crime (offense), which is the legislative basis of military regulations. No matter how strict the military regulations are, the soldiers have a clear understanding of the boundaries of their respective behaviors, including transgression and non-transgression, crime and non-crime.

As early as when he was training troops in Hechi, Li Zhongyi deeply felt that the seventy-two slashes in the military law of Shu seemed to be extremely strict in all aspects. In fact, if you really follow that kind of military law and implement it conscientiously, whether it is an officer or a soldier, you will be killed.

The logic that the law does not hold the people accountable derives, in fact, everyone does not have much reverence for the law, and only worships power.

Li Qiong's opinion just scratched Li Zhongyi's itch, governing the country according to law has a long way to go!

On weekdays, Kong Kun and Li Qiong do not deal with each other, but today he completely agrees with Li Qiong's opinion.

"Lord, the monarch and minister, father and son, husband and wife, three outlines and five constants, is the road of humanity and ......" Kong Kun agitated his tongue and quoted scriptures to argue that Li Chongjin raised troops to rebel against the great harm.

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and looked at Kong Kun with a smile, but he thought in his heart, who said that Kong Kun was a Confucian nerd, who was a big fool.

Don't look at Kong Kun always splashing saliva on Li Zhongyi's face in front of everyone, looking wild and uninhibited.

In fact, in private, Kong Kun has more respect for Li Zhongyi, he must listen to his words and do his deeds!

Kong Kun is above the court, and he establishes the image of the contemporary Wei Zheng's minister, which proves one thing: Li Zhongyi is a master of the world with a mind as wide as the sea!

PS: I just went out to visit home for the New Year, I drank a little too much, and I finally didn't stop changing, and I asked for encouragement from the monthly pass!
