"Your Majesty, there are so many people involved in the case this time, if they are all beheaded, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the Wuzhong region."

The speaker, as the right-hand man of the Tang Dynasty, must be unthinkable to others, killing a hundred corrupt officials at one time, the result will inevitably be huge, and the local order will also be affected.

"Your Majesty, think twice, once there is chaos in the Wuzhong region, it will inevitably affect the surrounding areas, and there are many people with good deeds who breed trouble from it, trying in vain to provoke disputes, and in the end, not only will they not be able to win the hearts of the people, but they will lose more."

Chu Suiliang's words are not unreasonable, once a riot broke out in Wuzhong, the people were displaced and miscalculated, and in the end, it was the people who suffered. This belated justice has finally missed the time for trial.

It has been several years since the disaster in Wuzhong, and the people have long since faded or no longer expected anything.

"What about the Prime Minister's words? Knowing their many crimes, but letting them go? Tang Wang said.

Chu Suiliang said respectfully: "No, no, corrupt officials." It is the moth of the empire, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible, but it cannot be all removed. ”

"Do you want me to be extra gracious?"

"In extraordinary times, when the extraordinary law is practiced, Your Majesty's intention is nothing more than to promote the way of the empire. If justice is done for the people, if it is not used properly, the result will only be counterproductive, so why not do it? ”

Chu Suiliang is a good minister, and the deep appreciation of Li Muchen, Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, because he dared to speak loyally and bluntly, inherited from Wei Baice, can be regarded as the second prime minister of Zheng Zheng in the empire.

"I don't know how to work around?"

"Your Majesty only needs to behead the main officials involved in the embezzlement and disaster relief silver case in Wuzhong in public to set an example; Others will be given warnings, and those who are serious can be demoted and retained, and will be eliminated year by year, step by step, and their vacancies will be reappointed and dismissed by the empire, so that not only will it not affect the management of the Wuzhong region, but also after a few years, the corruption in the Wuzhong region will be completely clear. ”

Everything needs a gradual change, and the consequences brought about by overnight will not only fail to achieve the desired consequences, but will cause a series of unpredictable problems.

"How many years? It looks like it's going to be some time coming. Tang Wang said.

"Your Majesty, you can't do things in one step, and you should govern the country even more so, besides, the disease of corruption, no matter which dynasty or generation, can not be completely cured, this is a stubborn disease, and you can't deal with stubborn diseases too quickly."

Li Muchen is not an emperor who doesn't know right from wrong, and he also knows that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Chu Suiliang's advice can be described as pertinent, although it is a little slow, it is more pragmatic than his own one-size-fits-all.

"The Prime Minister's words are really the most feasible way, and I have been taught, and it is my mistake." The Tang king admitted his mistakes in the court.

This seemingly simple admission of right and wrong can be regarded as ordinary to ordinary people, but for the monarch of a country, the emperor above 10,000 people, to admit his mistakes in front of everyone is not so simple, it takes great courage.

In history, there are only a few emperors who can officially make mistakes, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is considered to be one, promulgating his own edicts; Tang Taizong is also one, and Li Muchen inherited Li Shimin's will and adhered to the mind of the emperor, whether it was a courtier or a common man, it was a good thing.

"Passing on my will, the officials in charge of this case will be killed without mercy, all family wealth will be confiscated, and the children and grandchildren of their families will be sent to the frontier. You will not be hired in this life. ”

Such an announcement is quite light, if King Tang is really angry, it will definitely be to destroy the Nine Clans, and there will be no such affectionate veins at that time.

……

Chang'an City has changed, and the return of King Yu has brought a major event, that is, the investigation of King Xu's embezzlement of disaster relief silver.

As soon as the news spread, instead of receiving the support of the people, there was a one-sided shout of praise, and they shouted words such as 'Emperor Shengming'.

The court meeting was dispersed, Li Changsheng did not go to the prison, but went straight to the imperial city, and went straight to the imperial study.

"Father, my son has something to say." Li Changsheng said.

At this time, Li Muchen, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was standing under the bookshelf and looking at the "Chronicle of Strange Things", which recorded a lot of strange things in the world, and he wanted to find a solution to the "innate vein" from it.

Seeing that Li Changsheng was here, he didn't raise his head, looked at the book by himself, and said while reading, "You're here to be a lobbyist, right?" If yes, then don't say it. ”

"What does my father know about his son?"

"I am your father, how can I not know what you think in your heart?" Tang Wang said, "Not only that, but I also know. Before this, King Xu had looked for you, and he should have known that something might happen to him, so he asked you to come here to intercede, right? ”

Li Changsheng was slightly stunned, what King Tang said was completely right, and he knew that King Xu had met him in private, and he could do this. There is only one explanation, and that is that he was being watched.

Raising his head from the book and glancing at it, he sank into the water again, and Tang Wang said, "You must be wondering if I sent someone to spy on you, right?" ”

This time, Li Changsheng did not speak. Instead, he chose silence and answered with silence.

"I tell you very clearly that I have monitored your every move, but it is not for the sake of surveillance, it is your mother who does not worry about your body, do you understand my intentions?" Tang Wang said.

Truly. The biggest instability in Li Changsheng's body is his special physique, once the disease occurs, it may take a person's life at any time, Mu Qingyi knows this truth well, so she will ask the emperor to monitor Li Changsheng.

Sure enough, after saying these words, Li Changsheng's face eased slightly. Anyone who hears that they are being watched will be unhappy.

"Okay, if you don't want me to spy on you, you can discuss it with your mother personally, as long as your mother agrees, I will immediately withdraw the person who is watching, how about it?"

Li Changsheng skimmed. said: "Then forget it, who is the queen mother, the father knows best, and who dares to disobey what she commands?" ”

Don't look at Li Muchen as the emperor, to put it bluntly, he is an emperor who is afraid of his wife, a typical "strict wife".

At this time, Li Muchen walked out of the desk from the bookshelf. Putting down the book in his hand, he asked: "You don't have to say anything about King Xu, even if he is willing to spare the sin he committed this time, King Yu's henchmen will never let go of this opportunity." ”

The two factions fight each other, once the other party's handle is caught. will inevitably be attacked violently, vowing to kill the other party completely.

"Father, but if Brother Xu Wang falls, King Yu will cover the sky with one hand, and there will be no one who can balance him, and the balance will also fall to one side, this situation is not what you want to see, right?"

The reason why the Tang King kept the Yu Wang Party and the Xu Wang Party. is to balance each other and let the other party contain themselves, it's not that Li Muchen doesn't have the ability to get rid of them, but he just wants to use their hands to help him do something shady.

As an emperor, you need both black and white, which can make the yang conspiracy, and you can play the conspiracy more, black and white take it all, and the yang conspiracy has both, which is the real king balance technique.

"Immortal, you have to remember that the one who truly balances the two is me. And not the two of them, you know? Tang Wang said, "I stand on the balance point, and I am the one who controls their fate, understand?" ”

The two parties have fought each other, forming a tendency to contain each other, and neither party can completely defeat the other. At this point, the simplest thing is to balance who is more inclined to whom.

Over time, the vast majority of people often ignore this point, thinking that once one of the two factions is hurt, the other can be dominant, but in fact, the balance fulcrum only needs to move left and right to form a new balance again.

The power is firmly in their own hands, and whoever has the power to reach the heavens. Even if he formed a party for personal gain, so what? The military power of the empire must be in the hands of the king, as has been learned from countless historical lessons.

"However, you are also right, although I can balance the two, if one side withdraws from the fight, the other side will inevitably be arrogant. It takes a little more effort to maintain a balanced picture. ”

"What does Father mean?"

"Not dying does not mean not being punished. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, what King Xu has done over the years, do you really think I don't know? And this incident is just a reason for him to sound the alarm bell. ”

Li Changsheng felt that he was not suitable for politics, the deceit and intrigue of politicians were really terrible, and it was far less pleasant than living on the island.

It's just that this kind of life can't go back, because there is a key person missing-Long'er.

"So, my father didn't want to behead Brother Xu?"

"I know that King Xu once begged you, hoping that you could intercede in front of me and save his life, and if I don't kill him, it is just for you to repay him this favor, is it not good?"

Before, Li Changsheng was framed, if it weren't for King Xu's intercession. vouched for him in his own name and won him a punishment for serving his sentence outside of prison, otherwise, he would not have been able to solve the case smoothly.

King Tang's approach, one life for another, can be regarded as repaying his kindness.

"But did Brother Xu Wang trigger the law of the Tang Dynasty?"

Before, Li Changsheng and King Xu had an agreement. The premise is that King Xu did not commit corruption, and judging from all kinds of evidence, King Xu lied, which means that the agreement between the two does not count.

However, it's so easy not to count, a favor is a favor after all, and it has to be repaid.

"The law is nothing more than human affection, even if he can't be convicted now, he will not be able to escape the responsibility in the future, but it is a matter of time."

Once Li Changsheng ascended the throne and became king, these obstacles must be removed.

"Now that there is a vacancy in the Wuzhong region, I am considering, should you go to fill the vacancy?"
