Chapter 1023: Decay

After speaking, Li Shimin picked up the fishing rod, looked at the lake and said, "Datang is now in charge, I don't need to worry about it." Since I think that Cheng Qian is suitable as the successor, I will not say that he is not suitable to be the emperor or anything at this time. What's more, no matter what the Cheng cadres do and how they delegate power, it is our Li family who will build this country after all. As the founder of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family is entitled to enjoy treatment that others cannot enjoy. Even if it is just to rule the Tang Dynasty on behalf of God, can others still point fingers? ”

It was strange that the three of them had sat for a long time and had not caught a fish, and now they were all leaving, but one of them had bitten the hook. Li Shimin's strength was not enough, but Leng Feng helped him, and the two of them combined to catch this big fish.

asked the guards to send the fish to the kitchen to be boiled, and Li Shimin pushed his wheelchair and returned to the palace leisurely.

"You've really changed a lot."

Looking at the back of Li Shimin leaving, Leng Feng couldn't help but mutter.

If it was Li Shimin in the past, if he heard Li Chengqian say such things, he would definitely be furious, and he would even brave the big disapproval to re-emerge from the mountain and regain the throne. For him, there is nothing more terrible than setting up an emperor, or losing his words.

Li Jiyuan fished a lot of tadpoles, and when he saw that his master was leaving, he obediently put the tadpoles back again.

Holding Li Jiyuan's little hand, Leng Feng returned home worriedly.

Although he had this in mind when he personally taught Li Chengqian, he did not expect it to come true. After all, Li Chengqian not only received his education, but also received imperial studies. And he sent Li Jiyuan out of the palace, mostly in the hope that he would have a successor.

Traditional imperial studies can only cultivate a megalomaniac full of disgusting thoughts of "I use the world", and it is difficult to cultivate a real hero. And this path that goes the other way, the heirs absolutely cannot accept the traditional imperial science.

The storm did not come, and after Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he did not rush to launch his own changes, and even added a baron when he was evaluating his merits. It was not until the autumn breeze began to rise that Li Chengqian promulgated a decree that the selection of local officials should give priority to those from local backgrounds.

Officials also knew the benefits of doing so, and immediately praised one after another. It is a good thing for an emperor to be able to directly care about the livelihood of the local people.

However, only a few people were deceived by Li Chengqian's actions.

"Brother Huaiyi, you should see it, Your Majesty has no fear of delegating power, and even distributed some of the power to the people, in my opinion, this is not good news for our traditional nobles."

"What the eldest grandson brother sees is extremely accurate, in my opinion, His Majesty does have such a mind, but this kind of behavior is beneficial to the community, although it is not in line with the ancestral system..."

In the luxurious private room downstairs under the world, after gathering the merits of the court, some of them may not have obvious official positions, but in terms of titles, they all start as dukes.

For such a gathering, Leng Jing, Cheng Chuhei and others are naturally on the invitation list. People who shared the same feelings with Changsun Chong were all talking about it there, but Leng Jing and the others were hiding in the corner, not planning to get involved.

In any case, it was taboo for a bunch of important officials of the court to gather together and talk about what the emperor had done. Cheng Chuhe, Du He and others have been taught by the older generation that as long as there is such a thing, whether it is good or bad, as long as they participate, it will definitely become bad. And Wei Chi Baolin and others were warned by Cheng Chuhei and resolutely did not express their opinions.

As the last spark of the older generation of generals, although Cheng Yanjin is still arrogant every day, he attaches great importance to these things.

Di Renjie is as silent, he is very close to Li Chengqian, and he is even about to take over the position of prime minister, so he has a keen sense of smell for many things. For example, the current banquet gave him a sense of danger, and he wouldn't believe that there was no secret guard in this group of people.

As early as the era of the Hundred Cavalry Division, their monitoring was already pervasive, and it was not a great thing that the secret guards could monitor the court.

Cheng Zhisi bit the peanut bean and said: "It's all stupid people, who think that the interests of the family are threatened, so they want to resist and try." My father said that conformity is the true meaning of survival, His Majesty issued this order, the world received rave reviews, and the people around Chang'an drafted a book of all the people to praise the emperor's initiative, which is a measure that truly conforms to the will of the people. In front of this force, the mantis arm is a car, and I don't know what they think. ”

Di Renjie knocked on the table and signaled Cheng Chuhei to whisper before saying: "It's not that the interests are troublesome, although most of the power in the world was in the hands of the emperor, but the noble group, as one of the most powerful forces in the Tang Dynasty, has never lost the right to speak. Now that their right to speak is insignificant, the wealthy family will slowly disappear from the crowd. Falling from the clouds high above to the mortal dust, such a contrast is not acceptable to ordinary people. ”

There is no need to hide it in front of his own people, Leng Jing simply grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into his mouth one by one, and ate a few before saying: "Let's just watch from the sidelines, whether it is on the side of the traditional nobles or the emperor, it is not suitable for us." In the current situation, only by staying out of the situation can we protect ourselves. ”

Not participating, this is the result of Leng Jing's discussion with Leng Feng. Although he is facing Li Chengqian, helping him at this time is hurting him, and staying neutral can help Li Chengqian when he is unable to catch it, or send the last assist at a critical moment.

At this time, we can see the difference in education from the difference in groups, these people who are out of the group are all graduates of the Liberal Academy, and those who gather together to talk about special things have never studied in the Liberal Arts Academy.

Wang Xuance grew a beard, his thin face looked a little funny with a long beard, and no one informed him, but he himself chose to stay out of the matter.

Seeing Leng Jing stretching out his hand to grab peanuts, Cheng Chusi and the others also stretched out their hands, he no longer pretended to be an elegant person, and grabbed a handful regardless of the greasy, pointing at Changsun Chong while eating and said, "Obviously, he is also from the Academy of Literature, why can't he see it like this?" Can the interests of the family be compared with the long-term stability of the country? It seems to me that the act of putting the two on the scales is a foolish in itself. ”

Li Dejian, who also studied at the Academy of Literature, said: "This can't be helped, we are all sons in law of a big family, and in addition to receiving education from the Academy of Literature, we also have to accept family education." To put it mildly, although my father is revered as a generation of military gods, he taught me a philosophy of standing on the sidelines. As for Changsun Chong, you only need to think about his father to know why he is like this. ”

Leng Jing and the others invariably bit a peanut, in their opinion, that one was simply the most corrupt existence under the sky.
