Chapter 127: I Want to Be Holy
There are so many wise people in the world, how can they not see that the family is a cancer, but why does no one stand up and raise their arms, but they are proud of marrying the family?
It's not because the former is struggling, the latter can rise to the top. Cai Cong made it clear that the carriage and horses were against the family, and he would suffer in the future.
Cai Cong didn't move, standing on the hall like a log. Yan Dong walked over and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Chang'an Hou leave?" β
Cai Cong said to him angrily: "Why didn't Your Majesty mention me to lecture?" β
Yan Dong didn't speak, turned around and walked back. Cai Cong didn't speak, dragging heavy steps behind Yan Dong. Today's level is passed, but how can he resist the attack from behind?
Li Shimin sat tiredly on the Hu bed, saw Cai Cong coming in, and waved his hand to signal Cai Cong to find a place to do it himself. Cai Cong was also not polite, and made his butt on the stool, not caring whether his blood would stain the table and chair.
"Thanks to your courage today, otherwise I am afraid that we would still be in a stalemate now." Li Shimin couldn't laugh and said calmly. Today, there is no sword light and sword shadow, but it is even more thrilling than Xuanwu Gate.
"The minister hoped that he didn't come today, this group of people did so many actions, just to let the minister go to the palace, so as to force His Majesty to clear the monarch's side on the spot. It's just that they made such a big move, and they will definitely not give up easily! The minister asked His Majesty to behead the minister to calm the world. It's just that my mother still asks the heavenly family to take care of it. β
Cai Cong was kneeling on the ground now and saying, Li Shimin glanced at him, and said chatteringly: "Don't test me here, in case my heart is moved." You're dead! β
Cai Cong stood up with a red face and asked, "Your Majesty is wise, but the family is powerful, if they work collectively, the court will not be able to bear it." β
Cai Cong's scalp is a little numb, and the protΓ©gΓ©s of the family are all over the field, if these people work together, Datang will fall into the storm in an instant.
"It's not just that you can't bear it, if that's the case, I'm afraid it won't work, I'm afraid you don't know! These ministers of mine, except for Niu Jinda, Li Jing, and Shubao, the other ministers are more or less related to the family. β
Li Shimin smiled bitterly, how great is the power of the thousand-year-old family, every era has made a lot of investment in talents, as long as some people make a fortune, it will become a big help for them.
"Your Majesty is not a person who sits still, this year's scientific expedition and the reform of the minister's strong army are weakening the strength of the family, but there is not enough time! The Maison must have discovered this, so it will exert its strength at this time. β
"You're right, but it's a pity that both the scientific expedition and the new army need time to grow, and the family is forcing me to break my wrist this time!" Li Shimin said with a sad face, he only wants to leave the reputation of a sage in the history books now, if he is cleared by others, this is another stain.
If it weren't for this, for the sake of the overall situation, just one Cai Cong, he would have withdrawn and cut off the head.
"This time the minister is in the center of the whirlpool, if the minister can jump out, maybe he can buy His Majesty some time."
Cai Cong gritted his teeth and said. The family has been laid out for several months, and Cai Cong's reputation has long been rotten in Datang, if this situation cannot be reversed, even if Li Shimin can keep him this time, he will not be able to save him next time.
"At this moment, it can only keep you away from the court for a while, and there is no other way." Li Shimin shook his head, he had been planning to refrigerate Cai Cong for a few years.
"The minister thought that he couldn't back down, and the family was like gluttony, constantly sucking the people's fat and people's ointment, but never reciting the people. Your concessions will make them move closer, and you know that better than your ministers. β
Cai Cong said solemnly, Li Shimin looked at him in a daze for a while, and then asked: "I really don't understand sometimes, how much enmity you have with the family, since you stepped into the court, you have been fighting with the family endlessly, and you hate the family even more than me." β
"The minister is not disgusted with the family, but disgusted with them selling their fame and reputation, talking about poetry and heirlooms, but doing things that knock on the bones and suck the marrow, which makes people look disgusting.
The minister is not a good person, and the illegitimate son of Chang'an Ling is the one who the minister ordered to strangle to death, and the minister will also disregard life. However, the minister will never attack the people who are struggling in suffering, this is a principle that cannot be touched. β
Li Shimin nodded, he didn't feel the slightest touch when Cai Cong said that he killed people in front of him. In his opinion, whether it is Chang Zaijia or Chang'an Ling, if they choose to make a move against Cai Cong, they must be prepared to be retaliated against by a prince.
"What do you want to do if you don't retreat? Even I can't easily start a war, and the people have only been recuperating for a few years, and they can't stand the toss. β
Cai Cong stood up, looked at Li Shimin and said word by word: "The minister intends to become holy!" β
"It's unrealistic, there are very few saints throughout the ages, and they all went to the altar after their deaths, and even if you die now, you can only end up with the name of dying young."
Li Shimin said that he laughed, Cai Cong wants to become a saint, and he will work hard for a few more decades! That may have the opportunity to be lifted to the altar, as for sanctification, Li Shimin is not optimistic about him, even if he travels to the past and the present.
"If the minister can stop ravaging the world, can he be sanctified?" Cai Cong asked loudly, smallpox has been a disaster in China for thousands of years, making the world famous and frightened, if he can solve this problem, even if he can't become holy, it will be no problem to avoid this catastrophe.
Li Shimin stood up suddenly, carried Cai Cong and put him on the Hu bed, and asked with a terrifying face: "You said you can solve the sores?" β
"It can't be cured, but if you prevent it, you are 60% sure."
"Sixty percent is enough, if you can do it, I will allow you to be the prince of the Cai family. If you can do it, those families will be respectful when they see you, and who will dare to attack you? β
Li Shimin said loudly, future generations don't know how terrible smallpox is, but Li Shimin knows very well that the place where smallpox is raging is a ghost town, and the dead are ghosts, and the living are also ghosts.
It is said that one of the important reasons why Kangxi was chosen as emperor was that he had smallpox when he was a child and did not die, and was considered to be a long-lived person who was not easy to die young.
Li Shimin was very excited, Cai Cong was very weak-hearted, he remembered that smallpox was related to cattle, what was going on, he knew there, he could only stabilize Li Lao Er first, and then plot to follow-up.
Cai Cong was kicked out of the palace by Li Shimin, and he just wanted to discuss with Li Shimin whether he could engage in smallpox after the New Year, but Li Shimin kicked him out of the door.
If this matter is not resolved, you will have an uneasy and happy New Year, and you will have to live an uncomfortable life, you will roll the calf for me.
Although he said fiercely, Cai Cong had just arrived home, and Li Shimin's reward had also arrived.
Yan Dong returned to the palace and relayed Cai Cong's words to Li Laoer: "Although the minister's move is a helpless move, he will not change his heart for the people. If this is not possible, our bodies should be burned between heaven and earth, and we dare not harm the world. β
"Is this rabbit really that sad?" Li Shimin didn't speak, and the eldest grandson's eyes were red and he asked sadly.
"How is it possible, when he said this, that bastard was gnawing on a pig's knuckle!" Yan Dong screamed all of a sudden, how could that kid be so heartless, how could he cry.
The eldest grandson immediately put away his tears, his eyebrows were raised, and he wanted to say a few cruel words. Li Shimin took her hand, hugged her into his arms, and sighed sadly.
The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, hugged Li Shimin's waist, and cried silently, crying until he choked.
Yan Dong sighed and shook his head and retreated, saying that the two of them were the most noble people in the world, but when they were helpless, only one child let go of the fear of death in his heart and came to comfort them, who knows?
