Chapter 751

Li Lixian chatted with those female dependents, while Qin Huaidao was sitting with Li Shimin, and soon the noon banquet began, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian naturally needed to toast,

After the banquet, they were also looking for a place to rest on the side of Chengtian Palace, Chengtian Palace was very large, and there were enough rooms for them to rest, and Qin Huaidao was also accompanying Li Shimin, and when they arrived on the fourth floor, Li Shimin didn't drink much, just right.

"Well, Pepin, who do you choose among the princes this time, talk to your father!" Li Shimin sat down and asked Qin Huaidao.

"Hehe, this one hasn't been fixed, but, you know, King Shu is Erchen's uncle, plus King Ji is my disciple, and King Zhongshan is also my disciple, so I naturally need to choose the three of them!" Qin Huaidao smiled and said to Li Shimin, this is also the truth, they all know that Qin Huaidao will choose the three of them.

"You kid, you're telling the truth." Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Of course, meritocracy, you have to choose the same, King Shu is also a virtuous king, not to mention King Ji, he has a good way of learning, although he can't be said to be a great talent now, but he is also a desirable talent, and King Zhongshan, my disciple, if it is really not a talent, it is also the responsibility of the son." Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and nodded and said.

"Well, it's also the truth, but you have to add a few more people, one is Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, I know, I don't say that you will also choose,

The other one is Li Yuanjing, the sixth brother of his father, he still has some talent, and he is fair in life and work, and there is Wu Wang Ke'er, you also need to choose, this child can be regarded as a guarantee for me to make up for him.

I know that you may have a little misunderstanding about King Wu, but it's not big, this time, for the sake of your father's face, how about it? Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and asked.

"Look at what my father said, my son was going to choose King Wu, how could my father say that." Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"You, my father knows, I will definitely choose Ke'er, you know the overall situation, my father knows it, however, some princes may not be necessarily, you still need to say, the prince's side, my father will say." Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Cheng, this matter will be handed over to the sons, and the sons will visit the grandfathers of those countries in the past two days and talk to them, but, father, the sons said that they were going to say, but this choice is anonymous, they choose it or not, and the sons don't know." Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"You kid, of course my father knows this, if you go and say it, those people will definitely give you face, and it's inconvenient for my father to say it." Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Hey, hey, done!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.

"Besides, would you like to be the head of the House of Elders?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"I, no, no, Dali Siqing is going to be busy enough for me, and I have to serve as the president of the House of Elders, I think it's best to let the King of Hejian serve as the king, what do you say?" Qin Huaidao immediately waved his hand and said, just now the king of Hejian was promoted to the prince, Qin Huaidao knew that Li Shimin still wanted the king of Hejian to serve, after all, the House of Elders has great responsibilities and a lot of authority, Li Shimin still hopes that the king of Hejian will be the king.

"It's okay if it's not right, you're still young, there will be opportunities in the future, it's good to manage Dali Temple now, the responsibilities of Dali Temple are completely different from before, this thing, to do a good job, it's not easy!" Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Hehe, anyway, my father is just looking for an excuse to promote his son, and he can't do it if his son is inappropriate, hey." Qin Huaidao smiled bitterly and sighed at Li Shimin.

"This kid, you can tell me about your performance this time, who doesn't admire it?" Li Shimin scolded Qin Huaidao with a smile.

At this time, Wang En came over.

"Something?" Li Shimin looked at Wang En and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong asks to see you." Wang En immediately said to Li Shimin.

"Oh, let him come!" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Qin Huaidao, and spoke.

"The minister will retire first." Qin Huaidao stood up as he spoke, and said to Li Shimin.

"It's okay, sit down, I guess I'm here to chat with my father, you just sit, and when you want to sleep, the soft ones next to you, you just find a place to lie down and sleep." Li Shimin stopped Qin Huaidao and said to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao could only sit down, and after a while, Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao State, came over.

"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen Hu Guogong!"

"I've seen Zhao Guogong!" Qin Huaidao also stood up and saluted when the eldest grandson Wuji saluted him.

"Your Majesty, the minister came here this time, and he still has some personal opinions on the rule of law this time, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to listen to it?" After the eldest grandson Wuji did it, he looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Well, let's hear it!" Li Shimin nodded and spoke.

"Yes, I have compiled this on this book, and I ask Your Majesty to take a look at it." As he spoke, the eldest grandson Wuji took out the chapter and handed it to Li Shimin, who took it and began to look at it.

After reading it, Li Shimin closed the chapter, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, "You mean that the establishment of the House of Elders will contain the emperor's power." It may affect the status of the emperor, and the other thing is that businessmen can't pay attention to it, there is no provision in the national law, and the children of businessmen can't enter the court as officials, which needs to be added, and there is that Master Zhang only needs the prince, and the prince should not join in, is this what it means? ”

"Yes, that's right, this can strengthen the imperial power, and at the same time, the merchants are profitable, and it may not be a good thing for them to become officials in the court." The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand and said.

"Well, okay, Pepin, come on!" Li Shimin heard it and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Father, this, let's talk about it. If there are some things, it is inconvenient for the ministers to say. Qin Huaidao waved his hand helplessly and said, Eldest Sun Wuji aimed at these things, in fact, Qin Huaidao and Li Shimin had a discussion in private.

Of course, there is no problem with the current emperor, but if there is a little emperor like the Han Dynasty, what should I do, if the court is controlled by traitors, does it need the House of Elders to contain the power of traitors?

The House of Elders is independent of the court system, only loyal to the royal family, this is a precautionary mechanism, if Emperor Yang of Sui had this House of Elders at the beginning, then many things, he may not be able to do, the House of Elders does not pass, then it cannot be implemented.

"Well, auxiliary, what do you say about me? Can the House of Elders limit my power, and I want to promote an official, whether he is a loyal minister or a traitor, do you think I can control him? Li Shimin sat there, looked at them and asked.

"Of course you can!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately arched his hand and said.

"But, dare you say, can my descendants?" Li Shimin then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"As, if the emperor insists on trusting this official, then, no one can do it, and the House of Elders probably can't stop it!" The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Why can't you stop a low-level official from trying to control this court, is it possible? He can't even cultivate his own power, how can he control it? He can be a traitor personally, but can he confuse the entire court? Li Shimin then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, because the members of the third rank or above need the consent of the House of Elders to pass, otherwise, they cannot be appointed, and they must be separated from their authority and not interfere in the affairs of the third grade or above, this is a regulation.

"This, indeed, can't!" The eldest grandson Wuji spoke.

"Then why are you objecting?" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked.

"But this will weaken the imperial power!" The eldest grandson Wuji stared at history and said, he believed that Li Shimin attached great importance to imperial power, otherwise there would not be any Xuanwumen incident. But he didn't know that he was now the emperor, and he chased the foundation of the entire Tang Dynasty, which could be passed on forever, and would not be overthrown and changed from dynasty to generation.

"Imperial power, what is imperial power, only when the people recognize you, and the world's civil ministers and generals recognize you, you have imperial power, and the rest are all fake!" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, the eldest grandson Wuji heard it and was dumbfounded.

"What I want is for this inheritance to be passed on forever, and to share a part of the power, so what's the matter? The House of Elders, the elders do not control everything, but still have to vote through the princes and princes,

With so many princes and princes, if they make mistakes together, it means that this court has reached a hopeless point, not to mention the imperial power, the royal family will be overthrown, otherwise, I believe that those princes and princes are not stupid!

You just said that you don't want the prince to join the House of Elders, that won't happen, it's all royal, then the decisions they make will be unfair, and they will be separated from the people, so in this case, what do I want this House of Elders to do?

On the royal side, they will also write letters to me, but looking at the letters written by the prince in the past few years, few people mention local affairs, they all ask me An, what's the use?

Now that there is the House of Elders, they have to understand the suffering of the people, otherwise, if there is a problem with the vote, they will not be ridiculed? Li Shimin then looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty thinks about it, but does this give the prince too much power?" Eldest Sun Wuji continued to speak.

"Power, what power? They were originally the cornerstone of the country, they originally wanted to maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty, even if they were not the princes of the country, they didn't want to participate in the decision-making of the court, wouldn't it be better to let them enter the House of Elders and make decisions in a unified manner? Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and continued,

The eldest grandson Wuji heard it, and he didn't know how to refute it, these are also facts, Guogong originally held the power and the formulation of policies, and now he has entered the House of Elders, but he has a completed body to implement.
