Li Chengqian nodded and didn't say anything more.

Du He looked up, and saw Li Chengqian's brows tightly locked, with a sad face, and thought to himself: What is the prince worried about?

"Your Highness! Wei Chen looked worried about His Royal Highness, and he didn't know what His Highness was worried about? Can you tell Wechen, Wechen can also solve problems for His Highness. Du Ho said.

"To tell you the truth, the widow is indeed a little worried!" Li Chengqian said.

"Now that my Tang Dynasty is at its peak, and now I have developed hybrid rice, which has increased grain production, and His Royal Highness has implemented new teachings to select talents for the imperial court."

"Weichen believes that once His Royal Highness ascends the throne in the future, Datang will definitely be more prosperous in your hands, so what else does the prince have to worry about! Wechen really didn't understand. Du Ho said.

"If a person has no foresight, he must have near-term worries! The widow is worried that in the future, the land will be annexed, corruption will run rampant, and the foundation of my Datang will be destroyed. Li Chengqian said.

Don't look at the calm now, but in fact, it is not, in this seemingly peaceful world, in fact, it hides dirt and dirt.

Corruption has never stopped, and land annexation is also quietly underway, but these are carried out in secret, not in the open, with great fanfare.

"Your Highness! Corruption has existed since ancient times, and now our Datang has strict laws to restrain the atmosphere of corruption, which will be able to effectively stop the atmosphere of corruption. ”

"As for this land annexation, it is indeed a headache, as long as it is not a mediocre king, he can control the phenomenon of land annexation." Duho Road.

Li Chengqian did not agree with Du He's statement that land annexation had little to do with whether the ruling emperor was mediocre or not.

Wu Zetian's generation of empresses, although not a generation of masters, but not a mediocre generation, the Wu Zhou period was not a fierce land annexation, so that a large number of peasants fled.

In order to stop this phenomenon, there must be policies to deal with it, and it is even better to have other interests to attract landlords to voluntarily give up the annexation of land.

Therefore, tackling corruption and preventing land annexation are long-term plans, if not eliminated.

At the very least, the harm of corruption and land annexation must be minimized.

"These widows you said know that corruption is like an anthill, and sooner or later it will destroy Datang!"

"Today's laws of the Tang Dynasty may not be able to suppress the greed in people's hearts, and there must be many officials who are testing back and forth on the edge of the law."

"This is precisely what the widows are worried about, and when they find a loophole in the law, they will be unscrupulous to corrupt and corrupt." Li Chengqian said.

Du He said disapprerovingly: "Will Your Highness be too worried?" Even if there were, they were just people who couldn't get on the stage. ”

"It's not a matter of worrying to do something stealing in private! As long as there is the law of Datang, there is absolutely no dare to harm Datang. ”

Li Chengqian felt that Du He trusted the laws of the Tang Dynasty too much for corruption, and he had already trusted it to the point of being a little blind.

Even blind to the point of some optimism, always thinking that they dare not dare, underestimating the severity of corruption.

Marx once said in his "Capital": "If capital has a profit of 50 percent, it will take risks."

"If it has 100 percent profits, it dares to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged."

The same is true of corruption, as long as the bribes obtained reach or even exceed the bottom line of people's hearts, these corrupt officials will not hesitate to do it.

The fact that an official is not corrupt does not mean that the other party is a clean official, and it is very likely that he has not achieved the profits that made them take risks.

Historically, there was a peasant uprising in the Tang Dynasty caused by the corruption of local officials.

Li Chengqian remembered that this seemed to have happened in the fourth year of Yonghui (635 AD).

In Qingxi County, Muzhou, Datang, there was a once-in-a-century flood in Qingxi one year, and local officials not only did not open warehouses for disaster relief, but also concealed and did not report them, and continued to collect various taxes, which led to the people's misery, selling their children, being displaced, and starving.

The people are unbearable to be coveted by the officials and coerced, and they live in dire straits, and they are miserable!

All this was seen by a kind woman Chen Shuo, who saw the suffering of the villagers, and couldn't help but remember that she had also been helped by the villagers at the beginning.

Chen Shuozhen thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt bad in his heart, so he decided to secretly open the owner's granary to help the victims regardless of his personal safety.

Chen Shuozhen's opening of the warehouse to release grain was discovered by the owner, and the embarrassed landlord ordered someone to tie up Chen Shuozhen.

And let people hang it up, and beat it all over the body in front of everyone, dead and alive, and the villagers saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts.

So everyone organized, taking advantage of the hazy night, many villagers rushed into the firewood room where Chen Shuozhen was imprisoned, rescued him, in order to escape the search and arrest of the officers and soldiers, everyone covered Chen Shuozhen to escape into the Covered Boat Mountain at the junction of the three counties.

After recovering from his injuries, Chen Shuozhen felt that only by overthrowing the Li Tang Dynasty could those of them who lived at the bottom have a way to live.

So Chen Shuozhen turned to religion to develop believers and prepare for her future uprising.

After everything was ready, Chen Shuozhen contacted his brother-in-law Zhang Shuyin to organize a peasant uprising in Liujia and 48 in Qingxi County, Muzhou.

Claiming to be Emperor Wenjia, he took Zhang Shuyin as his servant, and then sent Shuyin to lead the crowd to attack and occupy Tonglu at night, and led 2,000 troops to conquer Muzhou and Yu Qian.

The attack on Shezhou was met with resistance from the defenders and was unable to conquer Shezhou; One of her generals, Tong Wenbao, led 4,000 troops to attack Wuzhou, but was blocked by the official army.

Tang Gaozong, who got Chen Shuozhen's rebellion, hurriedly ordered Yangzhou Assassin Shi Fang Renyu to send troops to attack south, and Wuzhou Assassin Shi Cui Yixuan and others led troops to the north.

The rebel army encountered Cui Yixuan's troops in Xia Huaishu, and was killed in a rout, thousands of people were killed, Chen Shuozhen had to lead the remnants to retreat to the Muzhou border, and later 10,000 people surrendered to the imperial court one after another.

In November of the fourth year of Yonghui, Fang and Cui met, and the rebels were finally defeated because they were outnumbered, and Chen Shuozhen and others were captured and killed.

This month-long peasant uprising was thus put to an end.

All this is because of the tragedy caused by corruption and arrogance!

"That's it! We won't discuss these things for the time being, you go and do the teaching things well! Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian didn't want to say anything more about this, and now these good things are not something he can control.

"I understand! Minister, let's do it! Retire!" Du He bowed and withdrew.

Li Chengqian got up and came to the door of the main hall, looked into the distance, and said secretly in his heart: I, Li Chengqian, swear here, that after I ascend the throne as emperor, I will never let such a thing happen again.
