Li Chengqian stood on the tower of the Jiafu Gate of the East Palace, and behind him were a group of civil and military ministers of the East Palace, and everyone looked solemnly at the tens of thousands of people below who were marching towards the Chengtian Gate of the Taiji Palace.

At the same time, nearly 1,000 officials wrote to express their willingness to reduce their family's tenant rent to 30 percent, but resolutely opposed the imperial court's decree to reduce all the tenant rents in Guanzhong to 30 percent.

Some people will oppose this matter, Li Chengqian has known for a long time, so he continues to build momentum, hoping to temporarily suppress these people in the court, so that Li Lao Er can directly make a decree on the Taiji Palace, and he can still do the next things in a low-key way.

I didn't expect Li Lao Er to drop the chain, so he had to discuss with the ministers, and now it is good to give the officials and gentry in Guanzhong time to react, and they gathered to oppose it.

Not only did he oppose the reduction of tenant rents, but he even wrote a letter to Li Chengqian to find a teacher again and forbid Li Chengqian to interfere in politics.

Li Chengqian didn't know what the face of Li Lao Er in the Liangyi Hall was, but he was very unhappy now, and he wanted to teach these officials a profound lesson.

"It is ordered that tomorrow the lone king will hold a palace examination in the Jiade Hall to determine the ranking of these jinshi." Li Chengqian turned around and said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Yan Shigu bowed silently and saluted, then turned around and went down to handle the matter, while the others looked at Li Chengqian with solemn faces.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Zhu Chengdao: "You go to Xianyang, let Liu Renliang handle the affairs of Xianyang, and you bring his music back." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cheng nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince." With that, he turned around and walked down the tower.

In the end, Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xingjian and said: "You ask Xue Dading to prepare to open the mountain tomorrow, and the siege artillery is also ready, and tomorrow the lone king will go to see after the palace test." ”

Pei Xingjian saluted solemnly, and was about to turn around and leave, Li Chengqian saw that Zhu Suiliang was about to speak, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop Pei Xingjian and said: "Remember that the siege artillery should be far away from Chang'an City, so as not to be too distracted by Your Majesty." ”

When Pei Xingjian heard this, he bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Li Chengqian felt that the expressions of the other people around him were also obviously relaxed, so he said: "The lone king will not rebel, but you must do other things well, otherwise the disaster will be even greater." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obeys!" Xue Rengui bowed solemnly.

"The ministers are only from the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince!" Zhu Suiliang and others also said in unison.

Although they did not know as clearly as Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, they also knew that Li Chengqian had mastered the power of thunder, and it was really easy to rebel, and Li Chengqian could not rebel under such a favorable situation, and he was really a model of loyalty and filial piety.

Li Chengqian looked at everyone's solemn expressions and looked like they were going to die for him, and he was also very relieved, nodded to the remaining few people, and walked slowly down the city tower with the help of the old ghost on crutches.

In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin sat on the Luohan bed with a blue face, looking at the ministers in the hall without saying a word.

The expressions of the ministers below were also very solemn, and hundreds of officials outside the Liangyi Gate, which were dozens of feet away from them, stood solemnly, and the pressure on them was really a bit great.

But now it is impossible for Li Shimin to directly dismiss Li Chengqian's recitals, and these people and Li Shimin also have to make face, don't they?

In the Taiji Palace, it was clear that it was clear that it was necessary to negotiate the reduction of the tenant rent in Guanzhong, and if there were officials who opposed it and retreated, they would also feel disgraced.

"Your Majesty, please allow the ministers to lead the troops to arrest these rebel ministers outside and put them in prison of the Criminal Department." Hou Junji was murderous.

Li Shimin looked at him and didn't say anything, Li Daozong hurriedly said to Hou Junji: "Hou Shangshu can't help it, although there are only a few hundred people outside, there are nearly a thousand copies of the notes sent in, if you arrest people, half of the officials of the imperial court have to be arrested." ”

"Humph!" Hou Junji snorted coldly when he heard this, turned around and looked to the side.

At this time, the other ministers looked at Gao Shilian intentionally or unintentionally, Gao Shilian, as the right servant of Shangshu, was the second-rank prime minister with the highest rank in the palace, and it was really impossible to get over without speaking at this time.

Gao Shilian smiled bitterly in his heart, got up and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to let the ministers persuade the outside and the officials to let them go back to the government to handle official business first." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words and said, "Let Junji go with you." ”

Gao Shilian stood still when he heard this, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he knew what Li Shimin meant, and he used both literature and martial arts, but let Hou Junji go......

Li Shimin saw what he wanted to say, so he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!" ”

Hou Junji got up when he heard this, and walked out directly without waiting for Gao Shilian, Gao Shilian sighed helplessly and had to go out.

Li Shimin saw the two of them going out, still dark, and said to the ministers: "You have all watched Yan Lide's recital, what do you think of the matter of reducing the tenant rent in Guanzhong. ”

The ministers looked at each other and no one dared to speak, this was an unprecedented thing, and the situation was not clear, and if they were on the wrong side, there would be no good end.

Seeing this, Li Shimin snorted angrily and said: "Yang Qing's family, you are the Zhongshu Ling, and you have the highest official position and the oldest seniority here, you can say it first." ”

Yang Shidao saw that he couldn't hide, so he arched his hand to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty thinks that no court in the past dynasties has come forward to set the tenant rent of the people, so it is better for Your Majesty to issue a decree to reward the people who take the initiative to reduce the tenant rent, so that the world will inevitably be limited to Guanzhong......

This is the Confucian way of teaching and governing the punishment, that is, praising the good and criticizing the bad, which is completely different from the Legalist order and prohibition.

This practice sometimes works, for example, the successive dynasties did not explicitly prohibit widows from remarrying, but the court and the government praised widows who kept festivals, which led to the society to despise widows who remarried, and eventually thought that the remarried widows did not cook food worthy of respecting their ancestors.

It is only when there is a real interest involved in doing so that the binding force is minimal.

Therefore, all dynasties have advocated education in trivial matters or things that are not well regulated by the law, but for important things such as 'rebellion', it must be clearly stipulated in the law how to be executed.

"Yang Zhongshu, it is very clear in Yan Shaojian's recital, this will not work." Cheng Mingzhen said and bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that what Young Eunuch Yan played is reasonable, and the imperial court should issue an order to implement it.

Just now, Yang Zhongshu said that there was no precedent for the imperial court to manage the affairs of private tenants in all dynasties, but the former Han Dynasty occupied thousands of fertile land and thousands of servants because of the local tyrants and powers, and the people who worked lacked food and clothing, and there was a Yellow Turban rebellion, which led to chaos in the world.

Now that my dynasty can't lower the rent with His Majesty's heroic martial arts, it will be even more impossible for future generations to move the local wealthy families, and it will not be the blessing of the Tang Dynasty that the local power is too large in the future! ”

Li Shimin nodded silently when he heard this, and he also thought deeply, where to use it in the future, and now the local power is not small.

Li Shimin immediately won the world, and he was neither proficient nor concerned about internal governance, and at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the world was withering and production was resuming everywhere, resources were relatively not so tight, and social contradictions were not prominent, so Li Shimin never cared.

But today, the contradictions hidden under the harmonious appearance were poked out by Li Chengqian, and of course Li Shimin wanted to solve them, just as Cheng Mingzhen said, he couldn't solve it, who could solve it?

Just when Li Shimin was about to make up his mind to reduce the tenant rent, he suddenly heard the faint sound of drums outside.

Everyone in the Liangyi Hall was surprised, who dared to sing in the palace at this time?

"Your Majesty's Minister Li Daliang has something to play." Li Daliang's voice sounded outside the hall gate.

Li Shimin's face immediately changed when he heard this, Li Daliang is the general of the Left Guard who is on duty in Taiji Palace today, what happened to him to come to report in person?

"What's the matter? Enter the temple and say. Li Shimin said.

Li Daliang walked into the main hall and saluted Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of people in Chang'an City lined up in a long line to enter the imperial city from the Changlin Gate to celebrate the recovery of His Royal Highness the Prince, and now they are almost to the Chengtian Gate." ”

"What?" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, stood up and walked out first without waiting for Li Daliang to answer.

Everyone in the hall was also taken aback, and they hurriedly followed when they saw Li Shimin walking out.

Li Shimin passed the order as he walked out: "Spread my will to order Zhang Shigui to guard the Xuanwu Gate, and Wuzhen himself wrote an edict not to leave." ”

With infinite shock and full of anger, Li Shimin walked all the way to Chengtianmen, and stood in the Chengtianmen tower and happened to see the people's procession passing by Chengtianmen without stopping.

This made Li Shimin and the ministers behind him breathe a sigh of relief, but Li Shimin still looked at the vast crowd of people with a gloomy face, and finally saw two people each holding a banner, waiting for Li Shimin to see clearly that it read: 'The Tang Dynasty is eternal, the prince is a thousand years. Eight big words, the lungs almost didn't explode.
