Chapter 953 How Big Is the World
Qin Huaidao put those official seals on the coffee table, which shocked Li Shimin, this was something Li Shimin didn't expect before, and Qin Huaidao suddenly came out like this, so that Li Shimin didn't know what Qin Huaidao's intentions were, and he didn't know whether Qin Huaidao really wanted to resign or was he angry?
"Peping, this is not good, you know the father, the father wants to keep these positions, whether it is these military positions or civilian positions, the father knows that you can do a good job!" Li Shimin stood there and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Father, that's what I said, but it can be said that it is dangerous for the sons to go, and it can't be said that the sons and daughters will occupy these positions until they die, and if the affairs of the court are delayed at that time, what should I do? Besides, Erchen also knows that if Erchen succeeds in this epidemic, he will not be able to hold these positions.
Of course, the sons are not talking about the father, but other ministers, they will definitely often take eye medicine in front of the father, and they will definitely say that the sons and daughters are highly meritorious and have too much reputation, which is not a good thing for the court!
Before, when Erchen was a small person, some people said that Erchen might rebel, not to mention, now that Erchen has made military achievements on the Goguryeo side, if smallpox can be cured, then they will have more articles to do, so Erchen is still not good! Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.
"What are you talking nonsense? Well? Whoever dares to say bad things about you, the father is the first to clean him up! Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao unhappily and said.
"Father, you can clean up one, can you still clean up the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers? Father, this matter must be done by the sons, especially now that so many family officials have come up, the sons need to think about it even more, if they are not careful, they may not be robbed! Qin Huaidao still looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said,
When Li Shimin heard it, he stared at Qin Huaidao.
"Father, this, you still agreed!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.
"You know, those officials got up for other reasons, and they have nothing to do with you!" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and whispered, he really wanted to tell Qin Huaidao that this was to guard against the prince, but he couldn't say such things.
"Erchen knows, but Erchen wants to say a heartfelt word, if the court continues to suffer from internal friction like this, then it will drag down the Tang Dynasty, and it will have a very bad impact on the people, Erchen doesn't care what the purpose of their coming up is, but they can't break the law, if they break the law, they need to be punished!" Qin Huaidao nodded, looking at Li Shimin with a firm gaze,
Li Shimin also stared at Qin Huaidao, and then said: "As the secretary of Dali Temple, whoever violates the law, you can report it, and of course my father will deal with it!" ”
"That Chang'an Mansion Yin still has 200,000 guan money missing, how to deal with it, in addition, my father doesn't know if you have considered it, whether the 200,000 guan money, whether it is used as a tax or as an arbitrary levy of money, why not make it clear to the merchants, now, those merchants are speculating that the father may be conniving at those officials, bullying merchants at will, and harming the interests of merchants, and those officials, so far, have not been punished,
In addition, my father, my son-in-law knows that you have other intentions in promoting those officials, but no matter what your intentions are, you can't say that you will continue to let the court continue to consume, let's just say that the eldest grandson Wuji, he came up for me, but there is no benefit,
On the contrary, there are a lot of disadvantages, with him, I don't want to do things, if I come back and know that he has begun to enter the court as an official, then Erchen will definitely not ask for orders to go to Yangzhou, and even say that Erchen will never lead troops to fight, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military know that when he comes up, he will definitely deal with Erchen, no matter what, he will attack Erchen,
Especially in this case, Erchen might as well do nothing, just be an honest grandfather, so that he has no excuse to deal with me, my father is not wrong for you to promote him, in other words, you promoted those officials of the family, and the sons helped you get it at the beginning, and the sons didn't know what agreement you reached with them, and the sons just knew that the things that the sons did before were all in vain,
On the contrary, Erchen has offended so many people, and now that these people have come up, will they still give Erchen a way to live?
Also, now what do those people outside think of Erchen, they will think that Erchen has broken his trust, and his father doesn't believe in Erchen anymore, and he may have to do something to Erchen, so Father, Erchen doesn't need them to clean up, Erchen himself cleaned up first! Qin Huaidao sat there and said, it was a great opportunity for Datang to do some things quickly,
Unexpectedly, now that Li Shimin has begun to guard against Li Chengqian again, to guard against Li Chengqian, it is necessary to involve the energy of a large number of officials, and when doing things in the future, those officials will not actively want to develop, but seek to hold more power in their hands, how to bring down the other party,
For this, Qin Huaidao was very dissatisfied, he knew that in the court, it was inevitable, but if it could be avoided, wouldn't it be more beneficial to Datang.
Li Shimin heard what Qin Huaidao said, so he sat down, or continued to make tea, Qin Huaidao also sat there without speaking, after a while, Li Shimin sighed and said: "Father knows that you are optimistic about Gaoming, and your father is also optimistic, but my father needs to take some precautions, as an emperor, it is impossible to have no precautions!" ”
"Erchen knows, Erchen also understands, it's okay to take precautions, but why do you want to promote those family officials, why do you want to set up a strong opponent for Your Highness, there is no opponent in the first place, you have to make one, wouldn't this make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put his energy on governing the country wholeheartedly to deal with opponents, is this really appropriate?
Of course, the father and the son know that the son is overstepping when he says these words, but these words are like a fish in the throat, do not vomit or be unhappy, and ask the father to forgive the sin! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin, Li Shimin heard it, nodded, sat there and continued to think.
"Those families, it's hard to suppress them, and you lift them up again, Father, have you thought about it, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fails at that time, and you can't control the overall situation at that time, what should you do then? Where should this Datang develop, this is a big thing, and it is a big thing that can affect the subsequent inheritance of Datang.
Therefore, Erchen is resolutely opposed to you promoting those family officials, you promote poor officials, Erchen has nothing to say, but family officials, promoting one is equivalent to raising a large wave, and moreover, there is collusion between them, which can affect the interests of many people, father, please think twice! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin, Li Shimin heard it, nodded, and was still thinking about it.
"You have a big opinion that your father did not punish Chang'an Mansion Yin and others?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Father, as an emperor, you can't lose your trust to the people, and if you do it now, you will lose your trust in the merchants of Chang'an and Luoyang, and your sons also know that if you don't stop it, you may lose your trust to more people in the future, and your sons don't think that they are a direct minister who is outspoken.
However, it is a matter of the world and the Tang Dynasty, and the sons and daughters cannot but say that the sons and daughters are not relying on the trust of their fathers in their sons, but because their fathers are a wise monarch, and the sons dare to say it! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"Your kid can speak, but my father knows that you are telling the truth, in fact, when the sons and daughters laid out these, they also hesitated for a long time, and the father has the worries of the emperor, these can't be outsiders, but what you say also makes sense!" Li Shimin pointed at Qin Huaidao with a smile, then touched his beard and said.
"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really very suitable, at present, I haven't found anyone more suitable than him, whether it is the previous King of Wei or the King of Jin, or the current King of Wu and King Ji, the sons and daughters have not found out, they want to fight, first of all, the first goal is to kill the other party, and there are no people in their hearts,
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has, from the very beginning, an emperor, with the people in his heart, even if he makes a mistake, he makes some small mistakes, not big mistakes. Please also ask the emperor to see the emperor! It's not that Erchen is closer to His Royal Highness the Prince, so he helps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak, but because Erchen saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing things like this, and Erchen also thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of his father's trust! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin, Li Shimin heard it and nodded, about Li Chengqian's heart has the people, Li Shimin admits it, this is indeed a few other people, they don't have it.
"Father, the son will resign from all his positions, and when he comes back, he will not hold any position, the son is just thinking about living well, and I hope that Datang will always be peaceful!" Qin Huaidao continued to speak to Li Shimin. "That's not good, these seals, you take them back first, my father doesn't want to take your position, and my father still wants you to serve as the protector of Anton's Metropolitan Protectorate!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.
"Andong Metropolitan Protectorate? Where? When Qin Huaidao heard this, he was stunned, looked at Li Shimin and asked, he hadn't heard of the Andong Protectorate.
"Goguryeo and Baekje, my father wants to establish the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, you go to serve as the Metropolitan Protector, but it's good, it happens to train the sailor troops in Qingzhou, Goguryeo takes a boat to Qingzhou, and it is also close, and you can go back and forth in one day, without delaying your affairs!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Huh? This, I'll talk about it later, if according to Erchen's original intention, Erchen doesn't want to be in charge! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"I'll talk about it later, let's not talk about this first, you can take these back!" Li Shimin pointed to those seals and said to Qin Huaidao, who looked at Li Shimin in embarrassment.
"Father knows that you want to be upset for Gao Ming!"
"No, father, the son is not unhappy for him, the son is for the people of the world, why is it good, it has to be internally consumed, now outside the Tang Dynasty, the territory is huge, if I can control more land in the Tang Dynasty, am I afraid that those princes will not be able to arrange it? And now the territory controlled by my Datang is estimated to account for less than one-tenth of the territory of the whole world, if we can take down more land and reward those princes, father, are you still worried about who will stare at your position? Qin Huaidao sat there and said to Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao stupidly, this was the first time he had heard this, it turned out that there was still so much land outside the Tang Dynasty.
"How much did you just say, how much land does Datang occupy in the whole world?" Li Shimin stared at Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Surely less than a tenth!" Qin Huaidao said affirmatively to Li Shimin.
"You must be lying to your father, aren't you? How can there be so much land in the world? Li Shimin said disbelievingly to Qin Huaidao.
"Father, the son is not deceived, so the son will find you a blank piece of paper, and the son will draw it for you!" Qin Huaidao stood up as he spoke,
Li Shimin stood up first, went to find a blank paper for Qin Huaidao, spread it on the table, Qin Huaidao pulled the brush and began to draw, there is no need to draw accurately, as long as it is about the same, Qin Huaidao first drew a map of the world, and then roughly marked the location of the Tang Dynasty,
After finishing the drawing, Qin Huaidao stood there and said to Li Shimin, who was looking at the map in a daze. "Father, you see, how much land can we occupy here? The reason why Erchen hopes that the population of Datang will increase rapidly is because there is still a lot of land waiting for us to occupy in Datang, in addition, these places are all seas, and we have warships, these warships can reach these areas, and when the time comes, are there still no land? ”
"This is the Wa Kingdom? So small? Li Shimin pointed to a small strip of graphics in the east and asked Qin Huaidao.
"Yes, this is the Wa Kingdom, very small!" Qin Huaidao nodded affirmatively.
"Come on, go find Gao Ming!" Li Shimin thought about it for a while, shouted outside, a eunuch came in outside, said yes, and left, while Li Shimin took the map drawn by Qin Huaidao, went to the tea table, and looked carefully, now, he asked Qin Huaidao to make tea.
"Father, if you don't believe it, give an order to the sailors to follow the coastline, all the way to the south, and then to the west, and let them tell Your Majesty how much ownerless land there is, and of course, there are many local people! But they did not establish a dynasty, then we passed, and we were able to conquer these regions! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.
"Didn't deceive your father?" Li Shimin looked up at Li Shimin and asked.
"When did Erchen deceive you?" Qin Huaidao said helplessly to Li Shimin.
"Well, that's right, okay, if it's true, my father will also get you a king!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile, and he was very happy in his heart.
