Chapter 785: The First Request

"This...."

Li Chengqian thought about it, and finally put away the phone.

He was so obsessed with the phone that he was worried that Master would have other uses, so he tried to ask.

Being a good emperor was originally his goal and dream.

After receiving the mobile phone in the brocade box, Li Chengqian asked: "Master, after I got married, Qingque and Li Ke are also about to go, what kind of gift did you prepare for them?" ”

Leng Feng smiled: "You are looking at your younger brothers, don't worry, they also have gifts." As for what it is, don't ask. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, then walked to the carpet and sat cross-legged on one side of the table.

The next thing is to ask the right question, and naturally be more serious.

Leng Feng sat on the other side and asked Li Chengqian: "How do you feel about traveling around the Tang Dynasty this time?" ”

Li Chengqian thought about it for a while before saying: "There are many feelings, and the biggest one is the falsehood of Datang, or human nature. The Tang Dynasty established the country with filial piety, and those who are over 80 years old will be raised by the world. However, this is not the case when I encounter it. The Tang Dynasty law is fixed, but many local officials do not absolutely follow the law.

In addition, there are many, many other things, all of which are different from what they seem. ”

Leng Feng propped one arm on the table, propped his head, and said in a very lazy tone: "This is not the falsehood of human nature, this is human nature." Human nature is changeable, and there are no two people in this world who are exactly the same, and there are no two people who are exactly the same thinking logic. Different people look at the same thing and have different opinions.

At the beginning, there was a very great person who said the word 'seeking common ground while reserving differences', and it is impossible for you to expect everyone, even the kingdom of Datang, to be the same. All you can do is find as many directions or answers as possible that most people agree on. Even if you become an emperor later, you can't bend others to your will in everything. Because, there are some things that you don't think are right, others think are right, and even, what you think is right may not necessarily be right..."

Taking advantage of the abundant time, Leng Feng poured a lot of highly poisonous chicken soup for Li Chengqian.

This world is not as beautiful as imagined, on the contrary, it is cruel in every way.

And the meaning of human existence is to make these cruel things as beautiful as possible.

Li Chengqian went out this time and saw a lot of reality in the world, and compared with reality and fantasy, the impact on him was too great.

What Leng Feng can do is to make Li Chengqian face reality.

After understanding the cruelty of reality, Li Chengqian can become a qualified emperor.

Well, prepared.

After pouring some poisonous chicken soup, Leng Feng asked: "Since you talked about the lonely and widowed old man in Dengzhou, then you must have intervened, tell me, how did you do it?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "I originally wrote a letter to report what I saw and heard to my father, and asked my father to use the treasury to set up an institution dedicated to providing pension for the elderly. However, my father did not agree with my idea at all. ”

"That's because Datang's treasury can't be moved now! At least not to move! ”

Li Shimin's voice came from outside the door, and Li Chengqian hurriedly got up to greet him.

Li Shimin was dressed in armor, his forehead was covered with sweat, and it seemed that he had a rare exercise after the Xiaochao meeting.

The question of the master and apprentice is very serious, at least there should be no third party insertion.

However, as the emperor, Li Shimin is an "exception" of all kinds.

Sitting on the main seat, Li Shimin beckoned Li Chengqian to sit down as well.

After Li Chengqian also sat down, he continued: "Because of the commercial tax reform, the treasury of Datang is much fuller than it was in the early years of Zhenguan. Still, the treasury cannot be moved. At the very least, the base of the treasury should be sufficient to support a war for a long time.

Since ancient times, many countries have perished because their treasury could not support wars. Our Datang is super powerful, but this does not mean that it will always be peaceful in the future. In Wei Zheng's letter to me, there is a sentence that when you live in comfort, you think about trouble. As an emperor, you have to plan ahead.

Your proposal is very good, but in order to do this, you must have enough surplus in the treasury. ”

Li Chengqian bowed his head and began to think.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was deep in thought, Li Shimin said to Leng Feng: "I heard that the Emperor Taishang gave you that jade pendant, what do you want from me, you might as well mention it now." ”

After hearing that Leng Feng got the jade pendant, Li Shimin couldn't sleep. For the imperial power, there should be no restraints, even if they are not safe at all.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin could only find a way to induce Leng Feng to hurry up and make a request.

Earlier, it shouldn't have been too difficult.

Looking at Li Shimin's expectant look, Leng Feng knew that the emperor wanted him to use the jade pendant to promote Li Chengqian's previous thoughts.

But ah, things like nursing homes, or pensions, are still a little earlier for Datang.

Even in later generations, this thing appeared after it was almost completely settled.

Compared with the security of the country, the interests of individuals or small groups can be pushed back.

Looking at Li Shimin's expectant eyes, Leng Feng thought of something.

"Something like pension is put off for now, and I have something else for you to agree to now."

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning when he heard that Leng Feng didn't want to help Li Chengqian realize his dream.

Compared with the unknown requirements, it is easier to deal with the matter of pension.

Naturally, the treasury could not be moved, but he could organize the royal family and some nobles to support the system for the time being.

After all, the reason why most of the lonely and widowed old people in the Tang Dynasty did not live well was the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty. As long as the settling lasts for a while, then the problem will at least be greatly alleviated.

"You say."

Li Shimin stared at Leng Feng, for fear that he would make some strange request.

Leng Feng was stared at by Li Shimin and laughed: "Don't be so nervous, no, I won't let your head arch to the ground." ”

Li Shimin pouted: "I'd rather you let me take my head and arch the ground." ”

There was no way, he was too lacking in heart and eyes, and seeing that the Emperor Taishang still refused to move out of the Taiji Palace, he could only make this decision.

If you go through it again, he will definitely not be so stupid. Those three promises are like three shackles, which may be put on him at any time.

Leng Feng picked up the jade pendant hanging from his waist and said, "My request is very simple, I think Datang's laws and regulations should be revised." Moreover, in order to establish a permanent rule, it must be revised every five years. It should be officials at all levels who participate in the revision.

The revised decree this time is absolute, and you, the emperor, can propose it when it is revised, but you cannot influence the thoughts of the officials involved in the revision. ”。

The idea of revising the law, Leng Feng had it a long time ago. I just heard Li Chengqian say that the local officials could not find the relevant legal provisions in the judgment of the case, so they could only find the same case file and compare the verdict.

He decided to use an opportunity to ask Li Shimin to change the law.
