Chapter 939: Spokesperson
Leng Feng knew that Li Shimin was asking about his plans. Now that most of the old ministers of Zhenguan are retired, if he is still in the court, then when Chengqian succeeds to the throne, there will be one more emperor in the court.
Emperors have existed in ancient times, but an emperor with power and prestige must not appear in the court.
Leng Feng stretched: "What else can I do, retire early, when you decide to abdicate, I will retire when you want." When you become the emperor, Cheng Qian will naturally not restrict you too much. When the time comes, let's organize a group to travel to various parts of Datang, isn't it better than being stuffy in the palace? ”
Li Shimin pouted again and again: "Traveling all over the world, aren't you afraid that the official will recognize you as a minister?" Just traveling, you can't afford to be extravagant. And sneaking out, do you think the hundred officials will let it? ”
He did think about what Leng Feng said, but the dream is beautiful, and if he wants to implement it, there is a lot of resistance, even if he will become the emperor.
For the throne, if it was the beginning, he would never let go so easily. The emperor does not die, the throne does not pass, this is a fixed rule in history, even if there is a Zen position, it is mostly because of mutiny, not that the emperor really wants the Zen position.
The years in Jiucheng Palace made Li Shimin leave the throne, and at the same time dilute his attachment to the throne. In the past, although he felt that being an emperor was very tiring, he never thought about letting go.
was able to simply persuade Li Shimin to abdicate, which made Leng Feng breathe a sigh of relief.
At the beginning, Du Ruhui said that if he wanted to avoid the dispute between friends brought about by the position of the crown prince, he had to find a way to let the emperor take the throne.
When the crown prince was personally supported by the emperor to ascend the throne, there was no dispute for the "real heir", and it completely broke the minds of many careerists.
It is gratifying that the goal has been achieved, but now Leng Feng is more concerned about what Li Shimin is insisting on.
"Tell me, why do you have to put it off for another year? Will anything happen during the year? ”
Li Shimin glanced at Leng Feng, but still said: "I am waiting for the destruction of Silla Baekje, and after the destruction of Silla Baekje, all the enemies around Datang will be completely emptied." Since during my reign, I swept through the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty and left Silla Baekje alone, why not wait for them to be destroyed and gather the merits of the surrounding countries to destroy the country? If we talk about it in the future, Silla Baekje will not become my regret. ”
Leng Feng nodded, Li Shimin is addicted to collecting cards, and he wants to wipe out all the countries around Datang.
"However, you have to think about Cheng Qian, what enemy countries have been cleaned up by you, what is left of Cheng Qian? The territory of the Tang Dynasty is enough for future generations to develop for hundreds of years. What's more, even the current territory, Datang is barely controlled, no matter how much, it is easy to have problems. You have all the merits in your arms, and when the time comes, Cheng Qian will become a guard, which will make him feel so uncomfortable. ”
As an emperor, if he does not have the merit of pacifying the enemy country, then he is imperfect. Even, when the time comes, the nickname can't even mix the word "martial".
Li Shimin turned cold again: "You forgot, isn't there still a Tubo?" As one of the number one enemies of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, this achievement is enough to bear the dry work. You, who are masters, are worried. ”
Leng Feng smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
In fact, Li Chengqian often complained to him. As a prince, he can be said to be successful, and throughout the ages, few princes have sat as steady as Mount Tai as he was. But as the crown prince, he was a failure again. Because, in the position of the crown prince, no matter what the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty looks like, it is difficult for people to count his contribution into it. In any case, he left the impression of being a "king of success".
With Li Shimin's father here, Li Chengqian is both helpless and helpless. At the same time, there may be Li Yuan. Tang Taizong Li Shimin's light is so strong that many people in later generations, even if they have studied serious history, after a period of time, will habitually think that he is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
With such an emperor caught in the middle, the previous emperor and the next emperor will be helpless.
Perhaps, all the emperors of later generations will be helpless. After all, in the original history of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin stood out the most, and Wu Zetian was obvious, or because she was the daughter of the emperor. Because of her relationship, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi showed his head slightly. changed Tang Xuanzong, and also relied on the prosperity of the past again to support his sense of existence.
As for Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, Tang Ruizong Li Dan, Tang Suzong Li Heng, Tang Dynasty Zong Li Yu, Tang Dezong Li Shi, Tang Shunzong Li Xu, Tang Xianzong Li Chun, Tang Muzong Li Heng, Tang Jingzong Li Zhan, Tang Wenzong Li Ang, Tang Wuzong Li Yan, Tang Xuanzong Li Chen, Tang Yizong Li Yi, Tang Yizong Li Yi, Tang Zhaozong Li Ye, Tang Emperor Li Ji.
What kind of ghost emperors are these?
Seeing Leng Feng's smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Shimin said irritably: "What are you thinking, I always feel that you are mocking me." ”
Leng Feng laughed: "Nothing, nothing." ”
Picking up half a bowl of ice cream, Leng Feng ate it quickly while it hadn't melted away.
After Leng Feng finished eating, Li Shimin said: "Let your son Leng Jing go to the Ministry of War tomorrow to prepare, and when you also retire, it is just right for him to inherit the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War." Your Leng family is also a big family, why are you not in a hurry to arrange your son in the court? ”
In addition to the profound heritage of the big family, the strength of the court is also indispensable. It can be said that the officials of the court are the spokesmen of the big family. This was the case with the five surnames in the past, and it is still the case with the various families now.
Since the time when the eldest grandson Chong graduated, the eldest grandson Wuji deliberately arranged for him to blend into the army, but he was resisted by many parties and failed to succeed. After Fang Yiai got married, he also mixed a waiter. Du He, Cheng Chuhe....
But among these people, there is no cold competition. According to Li Shimin's understanding, the only time Leng Jing went out was when he went to the Tibetan border and served as a big soldier for a period of time.
The power of the five surnames has gradually dissipated, and the families of the Zhenguan ministers have replaced their blanks.
Although the existence of the family does affect the imperial power, the imperial power also needs the support of these families.
Cracking down on the five surnames and cultivating a new family is the basis for Li Shimin, as a father, to prepare for Li Chengqian.
After Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, he was able to directly obtain the allegiance of these families, which made the imperial power extremely stable.
What's more, although Leng Feng is just a hanger and a secretary of the military department, what is surprising is that the generals of the Tang Dynasty military are very buying. Li Shimin felt that it would be a very good arrangement to let Leng Jing take over the secretary of the military department.
After thinking about it, Leng Feng nodded: "Okay, although I have the idea of letting Tang Jin take over, but now that I think about it, it's not bad to let Leng Jing take over." ”
