The ministers of the palace were speechless for a while when they looked at Li Chengqian, who was suddenly full of momentum, and the level of pretending to be sick had caught up with Sima Yi.

"The prince pays attention to your words and deeds!" Li Shimin's voice was full of coldness, it was too much, not only pretending to be sick, but you didn't pretend to be a little bit.

Li Chengqian was angry again when he heard Li Shimin call himself "the prince" again, but he didn't care. Today, he had already arranged to use the attack on Buddhism to establish his authority. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingben sent someone to send Yunmeng Qin Jian this morning, which was just enough to prove that he had inherited the will of heaven, so that he would have a lot less trouble later to ask for a tenant rent reduction.

At this time, Yu Zhining hit the muzzle of the gun, of course he would not let go of such a good opportunity to stand up.

Anyway, Li Shimin couldn't do anything to him at this time, so he just got up and saluted Li Shimin to show that he was taught, and then sat down and continued to stare at Yu Zhining.

Li Shimin didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to do, so when he saw this, he just snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Yu Zhining was not a brave and resourceful figure, and he didn't know what to say when he was just squeezed by Li Chengqian.

It was only when he heard Li Shimin speak that he became bold again, and he had the courage to ask: "I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to gamble?" After that, he looked up at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was about to speak, when he saw the old ghost leading the chamberlain to bring in two boxes of bamboo slips, so he got up and walked down the throne to the center of the main hall, picked up a roll of bamboo slips, looked at Yu Zhining with a smile and said: "Yu Shuzi, you said that these are all books written by cool officials to bring disaster to the country, and the lonely king said that this is a good book written by a good official that is beneficial to governing the country and the people."

The lonely king made a bet with you, if these bamboo slips were written by cool officials, the lonely king not only took back the invitation just now, but also personally lit a fire to burn these bamboo slips.

If these bamboo slips are good books written by good officials that are beneficial to the governance of the country, you will resign from all official positions and go to the mountains to settle down and retire. ”

Yu Zhining's lungs exploded when he heard this, I lost and resigned and left the court, you lost just to do something that should be done, Yu Zhining blushed and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not fair, right?"

"Huh!" Li Chengqian sneered, looked at Yu Zhining and said coldly: "What's unfair, if you want to bet on the position of the crown prince of the lonely king, you have to gamble with the lives of your nine clans, right?"

Yu Zhining looked at Li Chengqian's expression and didn't know what to do for a while, no matter what Li Shimin thought in his heart, Li Chengqian was the crown prince at this time, and he was not a courtier who could offend casually.

What's more, the previous eldest grandson Wuji and Xiao Yu were both impeached and convicted by Li Chengqian's party because of their words, and they are no longer in this hall.

"Nonsense! It's my business to select the best and the best, how can I allow you to be so childish?" Li Shimin was furious when he saw that Li Chengqian did not take him seriously.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly saluted Li Shimin and said, "Father, the son is just joking with Yu Shuzi here, why do you care so much?"

"Is the Tai Chi Hall a place for you to joke? As a prince, you are so nonsense, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the Tang Dynasty to you?" Li Shimin was unreasonable.

As soon as he said this, the hundred officials in the entire hall were startled, but this was when the hundred officials made it clear that they were not satisfied with Li Chengqian as the crown prince.

Yang Shidao hurriedly walked out and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a little younger, and His Majesty will teach him slowly." ”

The other ministers also hurriedly echoed: "Please also ask Your Majesty to calm his anger!" ”

Li Shimin saw the persuasion of the ministers, so he stopped immediately, after all, he couldn't abolish Li Chengqian because he said it wrongly, but he still said angrily: "The prince hasn't read the bamboo slip, why does he think that what is written in it must be a good thing that is beneficial to the governance of the country?"

Li Chengqian smiled slightly when he heard this, bowed down and said: "Back to my father, when my son dreamed that day, I saw this An Lu Ling Shi Xi, and my son saw that he was loyal and had simple clothes, so he knew that he must be a filial son and loyal minister.

And if it weren't for the fact that he was a filial son and a loyal minister, why would he have died for thousands of years, and he would have been able to come all the way from Anlu to the East Palace to ask his son's dreams?"

Li Chengqian said as he handed the bamboo in his hand to an attendant and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the bamboo slip, and listened to Li Chengqian's words to be reasonable, so he opened the bamboo slip and looked down. Just as soon as I opened it, a few pieces of bamboo slips fell off, and I was busy putting them on the table and slowly stretching them out, and I saw that not only did the bamboo slips look very old, but also the rope worn on the bamboo slips had been decayed and broken.

Knowing that these bamboo slips have been at least hundreds of years, it is impossible for Li Chengqian to find someone to make them, and he believes more in Qin Chen's dream of offering books, but he is also more vigilant against Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin looking down at the book and said: "Father, these bamboo slips are not too many, it is better to divide them among several ministers to read separately, and see if there are cool officials and harmful things in them." ”

Li Shimin took a volume of "The Way of Officials", and when he saw that the opening chapter read, "All the way of officials must be pure and upright, prudent and firm...... and he thought that there was nothing evil to say, so he said "um" and continued to look down.

Li Chengqian motioned to the other ministers to come forward and take the bamboo slips to read, this Yunmeng Qin Jane is only tens of thousands of words in total, and more than 20 ministers in Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province stepped forward to take a volume with an average of more than 1,000 words, and everyone sat down and read it quickly. After reading what they had in their hands, they exchanged with each other and what they saw, and found that this Xi was indeed a good official, and the recorded content could indeed be used for reference.

In particular, the part about Qin law is almost completely different from what is recorded in other historical books, except that it is finer than the current Tang law, not harsher than the current Tang law at all, and it is more generous than the law of the former Sui.

Several ministers who looked at the bamboo slips, including Gao Shilian and Yuan Shangshu Youcheng, who were appointed by Li Shimin yesterday to preside over the Pingzhang Academy, and others, and then looked at Li Chengqian, who was sitting next to Li Shimin, and their eyes increased a little bit of awe, after all, they could get such a sage to dedicate a book, and it can also be seen that Li Chengqian's virtue was recognized by the sages.

Li Shimin, who had finished reading the way of being an official for a long time, sighed and raised his head, looked at the ministers below with a complicated expression, and said, "What do you think?"

Gao Shilian, as the prime minister, was the first to come out and play: "Your Majesty, these Qin Jian fonts are between the small seal and the official book, and the bamboo slips should be old and should be Qin Jian." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this: "Is Gao Qing credible to see these contents?"

"Although the content of the reply to Your Majesty is somewhat different from the historical books, the things recorded in it are detailed, and the provisions of the Qin Law are clear, and they should be historical facts." Gao Shilian said that he would return to the train.

Li Shimin looked at the other ministers again, and saw that the other ministers also nodded in approval of Gao Shilian's words, and couldn't help but look back at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian listened to Gao Shilian's reply and the ministers were very satisfied, and his face couldn't help but have a smug look.

Li Chengchao saw that Li Shimin seemed to be busy getting up and saluting him, and said: "Since the book that Xi offered is indeed a good book that is beneficial to governing the country, I also asked my father to approve the performance of his son's ministers and posthumously crown Xi as the Duke of Chu in the Tang Dynasty." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he picked up Li Chengqian's recital, and his heart was extremely complicated, and he thought for a while that Li Chengqian was the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang, and the country he had worked so hard to build was about to be destroyed in Li Chengqian's hands. After a while, I thought that I had issued an order to posthumously crown An Lu and Ling Shi Xi as the Duke of Chu, which was equivalent to explaining to the people of the world that Li Chengqian was a person who inherited the will of heaven......

But according to the book presented by Xi, it is also common sense for Li Chengqian to ask for a seal for him, and since this Xi is immortal, if he does not give him a posthumous title, will it be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin was silent for a while, Li Chengqian stood there and waited patiently, he knew that Li Shimin had to take into account the identity of the emperor at this time, and this will must be made.

"Since this is the case, according to the words of the prince, posthumously Feng Xi is the Duke of Chu and ordered Anlu to be buried again with the gift of the Duke of Guo, and the book presented by Xi is handed over to the Chongxian Hall for engraving......" Li Shimin wanted to retreat from the dynasty immediately after squeezing out this paragraph, and did not want to rush to report at this time: "Your Majesty Chang'an City patrolled the streets left and right Wuhou came to report, and the people on Longshouyuan caught all the monks in the temples in Chang'an City to Longshouyuan to do coolies. ”

"What?" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, looked at the waiter who came in to report with disbelief in his eyes, paused for a while, slowly turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, and the meaning was very clear and asked Li Chengqian to give him an explanation.
