Enhance the Tang Dynasty court
June 8, 628 A.D. This was an ordinary day in normal history, but after Li Chengqian was born in this world, it changed the trajectory of many historical trajectories.
During the fourth watch, a high-pitched and sharp voice came from Li Chengqian's residence: "Li Gaoming, the king of Hengshan, receives the order!" ”
Although there was still some anger to get up, Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and replied respectfully: "Erchen accepts the order." ”
Seeing Li Chengqian come out, the eunuch hurriedly pulled up Li Gaoming and said, "Your Highness, our family is just here to deliver the decree, so there is no need to make this big gift." The old slave can't afford it. ”
Only then did Li Chengqian remember that the eunuch group at this time did not have so much power. But he still replied politely: "Where, you are always acting for your father's will, and you are also my elder in age, how can you not bear it?" Anyway, what will my father give me? ”
The eunuch saluted and replied: "Your Royal Highness Xie raises love, the emperor wants His Royal Highness, and the court will confer the title early today." ”
Li Chengqian replied suspiciously: "Conferring the title, doesn't that mean that you want me to be the prince?" Didn't I say I would accept it when I became an adult? ”
The eunuch replied: "I don't dare to speculate on the holy will, the emperor only asked me to inform His Highness that the early court conferred the title." ”
Li Chengqian had no choice but to reply: "Okay, I know." Stand down. ”
The eunuch replied, "The old slave has retired. ”
This disrupted his plan yesterday, and he originally wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, and then go to the Ministry of Industry to see the generator they made. He sighed softly, "Hey, the plan really can't catch up with the change. ”
Originally, according to the historical trajectory, he should have been made the crown prince at the age of 8, but he thought that "I am young, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make good contributions to the country for my father." And refused.
In fact, what I thought at the time was: If I really take over the position of the prince, I am still so young, it is not equivalent to roasting me on the fire! How many people still make me jealous and hateful of me. Also, I'm still young, after all, people are soft-spoken. It's better to play for a few more years, and now I don't want to get into politics so quickly.
His refusal at that time left the court and the people with a good reputation of being virtuous and generous, and being sensible.
At three o'clock in the fifth watch, he appeared in the court on time, and at Li Shimin's voice: "Zhongqing is flat!" The Korean meeting officially began.
First of all, Li Shimin began to ask: "Li Gaoming, I canonize you as the crown prince today, as a gift for you to be the prince, what conditions do you have today, as long as it is reasonable, I can promise it." ”
Li Chengqian replied: "The son received the order to thank him. Erchen hopes to be able to go to Longmen to do a few years as a county magistrate, firstly, because he wants to have a good experience, so that he can better assist his father in governing the government in the future. Second, they want to plan a better new deal according to their own ideas. Third, I hope to establish a heavy arsenal and army that truly belong to Datang, as well as a school ......"
Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, an official came out and interrupted: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the prince's words are inappropriate. Wechen suspected that the crown prince was at risk of rebellion. ”
Li Chengqian did not back down, and said in a heartfelt manner: "What's wrong, dare to ask you, have you ever seen a rebellious minister and thief say his own policy and strategy for rebellion in the court?" And who dares to voice their dissatisfaction? ”
Another advisor stood up: "If it is the crown prince, it is really possible, because the prince's wisdom is beyond ordinary people, and he thinks that he is omnipotent; It is unique in the world and can challenge all the rules of the world. ”
Li Chengqian laughed and said, "I said, can I think that you are praising me?" I was appreciated by my father and made him the crown prince. Therefore, this country will be mine in the future, why should I go to the thankless task of rebellion, and I will be hung on the pillar of shame in history. Why am I doing this? ”
Seeing that this prince could speak well and had the strength to fight the Confucians, he didn't dare to speak easily. With his head bowed on the side, he stood silently like a wronged daughter-in-law.
Li Shimin saw that the scene was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly started to play a round: "I know that all the secretaries are for the peace of the country and for the people to not be devastated by the war. However, the prince is also thinking and planning for the future of Datang. So, let's listen to the prince's thoughts first and then give pertinent suggestions, what do you think? ”
Cheng Yanjin, who was standing on the side, also stood up and said, "I also think that I should listen to the prince." ”
At this time, Li Chengqian bowed to Li Shimin and the ministers, and then said: "First of all, thank you for your trust in me, and then thank you for your supervision and encouragement to me, I will keep in mind that the position of the crown prince was given by my father." Therefore, I dare not do anything that damages the face of the royal family and the Tang Dynasty. ”
Hearing these words, all the secretaries present admired the prince's open-mindedness and bearing. Even Li Shimin felt that this son was becoming more and more unfathomable, and at the same time felt a lot more relieved; After all, I was a little worried about it.
Li Chengqian continued to speak: "I believe that all of you have used the items I invented and created, and you have also seen the weapons I invented. If the country can establish a school dedicated to cultivating talents for invention and research, then Datang's people's livelihood and military will be greatly improved. And in the same way, a military school can be built, and the officer will be the gentleman of the military school; Cultivate malleable talents and teach patriotism and loyalty, then the Tang Dynasty will no longer lack generals who can fight and be patriotic, and the level of the army will also rise significantly......"
A full hour later, Li Chengqian finished talking about all his ideas and plans, and everyone was shocked; I didn't expect this little guy to have such insight in governing the country. Originally, I thought he was just able to invent and create.
Li Shimin was the first to come to his senses and said affectionately: "You little guy, how can you have so many thoughts in your little brain." I agreed to your terms. However, you still have to write a full statement and submit it. ”
When Li Chengqian heard this, he whispered, "Huh? I also have to write a full report, I knew that I wouldn't say anything if I didn't ask for it. ”
But Li Shimin still heard it, so he coughed loudly a few times.
Li Chengqian hurriedly replied obediently: "Erchen is grateful." ”
Then there was nothing to do with him, and he began to close his eyes and recuperate. Finally, another hour passed, and all the officials had finished reporting. Li Shimin said: "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from." (This was taught by Li Chengqian in private, and Li Shimin thought it was very easy to use, so he often used it, so all the ministers were familiar with it.) )
The ministers replied with interest: "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”
"Phew, the early dynasty is finally over. Exhausted. Li Chengqian said extremely dissatisfied.
Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, who were on the side, quipped: "Yo, look, our prince's young body can't stand it." It seems to be a lack of exercise. After speaking, he slipped Li Chengqian up.
Li Chengqian hurriedly begged for mercy: "My good uncle, you can spare your nephew." I use my brain every day, and I use up my physical strength. ”
Qin Qiong looked at poor Li Chengqian and said, "Yes, we were in chaos at that time, and we could only continue to improve. Although you don't need to go to the battlefield now, but Gao Ming, you should exercise. You can't find a reason, the body is the foundation, and when the body broke down that day, you can't do anything. ”
Li Chengqian had no choice but to reply: "Yes, my nephew remembers." Presumably the two uncles are looking for their nephew, right? ”
Cheng Biting Jin laughed: "You little head melon is smart, and I can't hide anything from you." ”
Li Chengqian slandered: Didn't you come to mention me that time?
Cheng Biting Jin said with golden eyes full of light: "I heard that the second brother said that you have developed electricity again, can we take a look?" ”
Li Chengqian smiled: "Yes, but you let me down first." I'm going there in the afternoon, and I'll take you there when I'm done with lunch. ”
Cheng Yanjin said happily: "Okay, let's wait for you." ”
