The place where Li Shimin pointed is the first page of Datang Daily, a line of big characters under the masthead, who should we thank most for today's happy life?

The article summarizes all the exploits made by Li Shimin since he ascended the throne for more than ten years, leveling the Turks, exterminating Tuguhun, conquering Goguryeo, the domestic wind and rain, and the people are rich and happy, and tells the people of the Tang Dynasty with irrefutable facts that today's happy life is brought by Li Shimin, the son of heaven, so everyone should be grateful, should support, and should love him.

When Li Shimin read this article, he burst into tears, after so many years of hard work, someone finally affirmed my merits, and used easy-to-understand words to the people of the world, I really understood me too well.

This article also created the biggest joke of the Zhenguan Dynasty, when the Great Dynasty meeting, all the imperial historians came forward to impeach Li Dongsheng, the prince of Lantian County, for publicly slandering and flattering and inviting the emperor, which is really a shame for officials, and it is a courtier who has never been seen in history.

The crowd was surging and everyone was indignant, and Li Dongsheng became the target of Qianfu for a while. Everyone was eager to pull Li Dongsheng out and criticize him, but Li Dongsheng's counterattack was very easy, he walked out of the queue and only said one sentence, which made everyone speechless: "Everyone, is there a lie in what I said and wrote?" ”

The imperial historians present looked at each other, Li Dongsheng said well, the merits of His Majesty he wrote are real, but the ancients said to be modest, that is, no matter how great His Majesty's merits are, we must wait for him to evaluate him after his death, what is the reason for you to say it now? I can't open my eyes and talk nonsense, saying that the emperor's exploits are all fake, and I estimate that my head will be lost when I say it, for the sake of a breath is not worth it, now I am in a dilemma, uncomfortable!

Fortunately, Li Shimin helped them break the siege: "All the Aiqing are for me, and I am very relieved... Then he said a set of high-sounding words crookedly, anyway, the content is that Li Dongsheng said good things about me and spread my merits, so you don't have to stare at him anymore.

After the court meeting dispersed, Li Shimin specially left Li Dongsheng behind: "How did you come up with it?" ”

"Your Majesty is doing your best for the country, and I, as a courtier, have the ability and obligation to inform the world of Your Majesty's achievements." Li Dongsheng said calmly: "Your Majesty's achievements have never been achieved by an emperor in history, and if you don't say it, your ministers are like a fish in your throat." ”

"Hahahaha, it seems that the actions of the auxiliary machine have touched you a lot, and you can say such flattering words with a face as usual, and there is progress." Li Shimin laughed: "What do you think should be done to those families?" ”

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of Wei Chen, it is impossible for the family to be completely eradicated, but can only be suppressed." Li Dongsheng didn't know why Li Shimin asked such a question again, but now he is a lot more careful, for fear of falling into the trap again.

Li Shimin's expression was very sentimental: "I know that I owe you in the past, but I also have my own difficulties, and in the early stage of fighting abroad, I must ensure domestic stability, so I have to appease them." Now that the surrounding countries have basically surrendered, and I am getting older, I want to clean them up at this time, and I can only do it for the sake of the pheasant slaves. ”

"Your Majesty is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can you say such decadent words." No matter how Li Shimin pretends to be pitiful, Li Dongsheng will not believe him when it comes to difficulties. Suffer a loss and be fooled once.

Seeing that Li Dongsheng didn't answer, Li Shimin could only change the topic: "Then how can we suppress those families?" What are some good strategies? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a matter that the adults in the political hall are considering, and Weichen, an idle county duke, has not thought of it that far."

Anyway, Li Dongsheng has a belief, I don't get involved in your affairs, no matter how you induce me, you just won't take the bait, and you can't kill me.

After Li Dongsheng left, Li Shimin's face was not good-looking, and he said to Wang De: "He is already very wary of me, has I done too much?" ”

Of course, Wang De didn't dare to say that Your Majesty, you didn't just do too much, in fact, it was bad. He could only say: "The Duke of Lantian County is still young, and he can't feel His Majesty's love for him. ”

Li Shimin was silent for a long time: "This little Wang Balamb wants to get out of this whirlpool, but what he thinks is beautiful." I didn't let him get his way, so I just got in with him to see who could overpower whom? ”

On the eighteenth day of the first month, an edict shocked the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin personally wrote the edict, established the city ship division in Guangzhou, and Li Dongsheng, the prince of Lantian County, served as the city ship envoy, in charge of foreign trade on the sea route. The main duties of the envoys were: to collect customs duties on ships that came to trade, to purchase a certain amount of imported goods on behalf of the court, to manage the goods that merchants paid tribute to the emperor, and to supervise and manage the trade of the city ships.

The Wang family, the Gu family, the eldest grandson family, the Xiao family and other families opposed in unison, Guangzhou as the only legal treaty port in the country, this is not to directly dig the foundation of these families, not to mention that Li Dongsheng's products sell well all over the world, is the largest manufacturer in the country, and now let him be in charge of this commercial agency, that is not to put the mouse in the rice tank, fattening him in vain.

Since these scholars crossed to the south, they married each other and practiced into an intertwined huge interest group, which is the reason why the emperors of the past dynasties were taboo, and they had already monopolized the sea trade, and the huge profits made them give up the output in the fields long ago, and now the court has to take back these interests with an official document, how can those families who have been earning for hundreds of years not fight back.

Li Dongsheng also hurriedly wrote a book to excuse himself, whoever wants to do this cusp of the work will do it, anyway, if you don't go, you will move other people's lives, and people won't play with you? When the time comes, I don't know where I will die, and I haven't lived enough.

It's a pity that Li Shimin resolutely disagreed, Li Dongsheng pretended to be sick, Li Shimin sent an imperial doctor to visit, and the parents in another family were old and couldn't stay away as an only child, but unfortunately Li Shimin directly said that he could take his parents to take office. Anyway, Li Dongsheng tried his best to push off the appointment, so he could only prepare things with tears in his eyes and prepare to take office.

In the mansion of Zhao Guogong, the eldest grandson Wuji sat in the study with a gloomy face, he was disgusted by Li Dongsheng's appointment, his brother-in-law finally couldn't help but shoot at the family, and now he took the power of a big victory, and wanted to subdue the family at one time, but unfortunately he thought too simply, these families don't know how many dynasties they have experienced, and they have seen more emperors who are stronger than Li Shimin, how can they give in so easily.

The eldest grandson Chong sat on the side and didn't dare to come out, he still rarely saw his father in such a dilemma, and after waiting for a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji got up, wrote the desk, and then called his henchmen: "You send me the letter to these families immediately, without delay." ”

Looking at the backs of the people, the eldest grandson Wuji twisted his beard and sighed: "I don't know how to hide at a young age, don't you know the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, since I have made other people's knives, don't blame us for breaking the knife." ”
