Chapter 4 It is necessary to save the rule of Zhenguan
Li Chengqian returned to the Lizheng Palace, saw that there were some little eunuchs around him, and knew that it was useless, so he had to call the old ghost (Bai Zhou) and ask him about the recent situation in Beijing.
It turned out that Li Shimin took Li Zhi to the Lishan Palace on the fifth day of the first day of November, and the ministers were accompanied by Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen, and the right servants left behind in the capital were Gao Shilian and Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao.
Yang Shidao was a member of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, and he was also the concubine of Li Yuan's fifth daughter, Princess Changguang.
Yang Shidao is cautious in his official work, although he has some literary talents, but his administrative ability is average, because he suppresses the powerful and is constrained by the powerful everywhere, and his ability is even more mediocre.
In history, Li Chengqian rebelled next year, and among his followers were Princess Changguang and Zhao Jie, the son of her ex-husband.
Yang Shidao and Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji was in charge of hearing the case, and Yang Shidao was demoted to the rank of official secretary for interceding for Zhao Jie.
Li Chengqian thought about Yang Shidao, and thought about the Tang Dynasty that had been in Zhenguan for 16 years.
This year, Wei Zheng was seriously ill, and the ministers in the court were Liu Xun and Zhu Suiliang, these two did not have the weight of Wei Zheng, and secondly, they did not have Wei Zheng's ability to govern the country, and thirdly, they were too selfish.
With the growing power of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's prestige reached the heyday of his life.
For example, at the beginning of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, he personally said to his close ministers: Datang now has two joys and one worry.
One joy is: bumper harvests year after year, the corn in Chang'an City is only sold for three or four dollars per bucket.
The second happiness is: the border has been safe for many years, there is no external trouble, in fact, there has always been war.
The only thing worth worrying about is that in this stable environment, people no longer have a sense of crisis, and there will be trouble in the future.
Everyone can see that the two joys are Li Shimin's boasting of his achievements, and Yixian is more to show his wisdom and talk casually.
But at the beginning of next year, Wei Zheng died, Li Chengqian and Li You rebelled one after another, several relatives were executed, and when he was appointed prince, he was at the mercy of the ministers.
Then he returned with a small victory in Goguryeo, and the last bit of ambition in his heart was also wiped out.
In the next few years, Li Shimin not only traveled around, that is, some of the governing experience that he himself did not do, and made the final remedy for his reputation after his death.
Li Chengqian was thinking about the next few years of Zhenguan Dynasty, and he was wandering outside the world, and the old ghost didn't dare to disturb him, so he let him kneel and sit there in a daze.
Li Chengqian thought that judging from the history books, Li Shimin attached great importance to his reputation behind him, and as long as he did not plot a rebellion as he did in history, he would not abolish his position as the crown prince.
In a few days, I will also click on the technology tree, and maybe I will be able to get the hearts of the subjects of the world at once, and I will also be a wise monarch through the ages.
Thinking about the grand blueprint in his chest, spread out in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, thinking that he was looked at with adoration by the old foxes in the court, and praised sincerely.
The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smug smile.
"What makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so happy?" The hateful old ghost interrupted Li Chengqian's daydream.
However, Li Chengqian was not angry, and helped the old ghost to stand up with difficulty, feeling a sore back, and his legs were almost not his own - he had been sitting on the ground for a long time.
Li Chengqian looked at the wool felt cushion on the ground, and thought that he would find someone to make the chair first, so he would make the chair his first invention in the world.
Another thought was wrong, I was misled by the time-traveling novel, and I thought of everything as an invention. Although there were no standard chairs in the Tang Dynasty, arhat beds actually appeared in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
The Luohan bed is a chair made smaller, and the Tang Dynasty people have been slowly improving, but it is only a little wider than the current chair (some people have to kneel on it).
However, when I looked back and saw the old ghost with low eyebrows, I was a little uneasy, Li Chengqian had watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan" before crossing.
I know too well the role of these minions in the palace fight, thinking of this, Li Chengqian stared at the old ghost with unkind eyes.
He asked coldly, "Old ghost, why is there no Arhat bed in the Lizheng Palace?"
The old ghost was so frightened that he was about to kneel down and let go of Li Chengqian's hand, Li Chengqian's legs were numb and had nowhere to focus, and he almost fell.
The frightened old ghost hurriedly held Li Chengqian and didn't dare to let go, and he was afraid that Li Chengqian would punish him, so he only shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, ......" Tears fell.
Li Chengqian saw that he was frightened like this, and secretly thought: This old ghost should not be a heinous person, let's stay by my side for the time being.
Li Chengqian slowed down and said: "What's going on, just say it, I won't beat you, so you don't have to make this tone." ”
"Slaves and Slaves Obey"
Li Chengqian's legs were a little perceptual, so he helped the old ghost to walk out slowly, and the old ghost said to Li Chengqian as he walked.
It turned out that there were small Arhat beds everywhere in the East Palace, and later Kong Yingda became Li Chengqian's master, so he admonished and said: Sitting on the Arhat bed is not in line with etiquette, and the prince, as the prince of the country, should set an example for the world, and forced the original Li Chengqian to smash the Arhat bed in the East Palace.
Li Chengqian was completely speechless when he heard this, the original Li Chengqian once broke his leg while riding a horse and left a disability, and kneeling is a very uncomfortable thing, let alone kneeling for a long time.
Li Chengqian didn't want to see the three masters, I'm afraid the reason for the leg pain was greater.
Li Chengqian slowly walked to the door of the hall, looked at the majestic palace in front of him, and said indifferently: "Tell me to go down, in the future, King Gu will study in Zuochunfang, and the three masters will lead them there when they come, and they will not be allowed to enter the Chongjiao Gate without having to come in to pass on the teachings." The good tea and good food were served, and no one else was allowed to come near, nor did he talk to them much, so he said that the lonely king would go to listen to their lectures when he was free. ”
"This?" The old ghost Baizhou hesitated.
"Do as I say!" Li Chengqian said impatiently.
Thought: Rotten! I can't take care of you as a cross-border crown prince?
"Slave, obey!" Bai Zhou said tremblingly, Bai Zhou was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of Li Chengqian, who had always been cowardly, today.
Zuo Chunfang is in the southeast corner of the East Palace, which is equal to the Xiande Palace, and belongs to the outer dynasty of the East Palace, and he can't enter the Chongjiao Gate and can't see Li Chengqian at all.
Li Chengqian ignored Bai Zhou's thoughts, and asked people to find a ruler Li Chengqian looked at it, gave the approximate size, and sent the craftsman to make a few sets of chairs and high cases.
After Li Chengqian arranged things, he found that he had nothing to do, and there was no entertainment in Datang.
Of course, if it was the original Li Chengqian, he would definitely fool around with the villains around him, barbecue and drink, and dance Turkic dances......
It's just that the current Li Chengqian will never do these things.
The old ghost saw that Li Chengqian was bored, and thought that his opportunity had come, so he asked flatteringly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the person who was drunk after only half of the barbecue and drinking in the back garden yesterday is not awake, can you go back to the back garden to have a look today?"
Li Chengqian looked at him fixedly when he heard this, and saw that he was full of flattering smiles, and he didn't know if he was a natural villain, or was he instructed by someone to seduce him?
Said coldly: "You want me to die in the back garden?"
"Ah" The old ghost Baizhou immediately knelt down when he heard this, kowtowed, and cried: "The slave doesn't dare, isn't it to see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is bored and wants to have some fun for His Highness?"
"Hmph" Li Chengqian ignored him and walked towards the dormitory little by little.
Li Chengqian sat on the bed and asked him to bring him a copy of the Book of Han to read.
In his previous life, Yang Zhou had read some ancient texts and barely knew traditional Chinese characters, and he could guess where to break the sentence with the book from memory.
It's just that Li Chengqian didn't have the heart to read at this time, and Li Chengqian's current situation can be seen from the performance of the crown princess and Li Xiang.
Li Xiang is only eight years old, even if he is precocious, he is limited, but at a young age, he is always worried about Li Chengqian, and he is very afraid that Li Shimin will punish Li Chengqian.
To be honest, Li Chengqian, the father, did a very failed job.
Li Shimin's thoughts about Li Chengqian are also known to passers-by, and as long as he has the opportunity, he will abolish Li Chengqian and make Li Tai the crown prince.
It's just that Li Shimin didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji and others had already chosen Li Zhi.
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, that is, next year, Li Chengqian rebelled, Wei Zheng died, and Zhenguan's rule ended gloomily.
In this abolition of the crown prince, Li Shimin abolished his two favorite sons, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, at one time.
The contradictions between him and the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers were also completely exposed (because Wei Zheng was on top of him before), and finally forced Li Shimin to commit suicide by drawing his sword in front of all the ministers, so that Li Zhi was established as the crown prince.
However, Li Shimin no longer had the strength to replace Li Zhi with his own Li Ke. When he was dying, he tried his best to arrange for the minister to be orphaned, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang secretly entrusted Li Shiji, because Li Zhi was incompetent.
The three ministers of Tuogu were not single-minded, so that Wu Meiniang picked up the cheap, and the Tang Dynasty lost the opportunity to establish the rules.
Since then, the Tang Dynasty has been marching all the way, and the body has pounced on the flames of the prosperous era, and a few taels of bones of the Central Plains Dynasty have slowly burned into ashes after the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Anshi Rebellion, the forces of the Han regime in the Central Plains have never reached the Western Regions (Yuan and Qing have said otherwise).
Li Chengqian thought that since he had crossed over, he had to make some changes, right?
However, don't think about copying a few poems, becoming a principal, ordering a tech tree, thinking of a few business ideas, and improving the status of a businessman...... can make the country stronger.
It's impossible, headache!
Alas! Let's solve the current difficulties first, the wheel of history has come to the winter of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, and it is not easy to change history so that Li Chengqian will not be abolished.
