Chapter 4 Li Ke on Governing the Country

I saw the words on the paper just like the words in the book, "Look at its strength without losing, show your posture without boasting, and your handwriting will flow smoothly." It is the same as what Li Ke wrote on the back of the fold before.

Although Li Shimin was also envious of this good hand, this is not the point, but what is written in it:

"To be strong, it is necessary to be people-oriented!"

This line of words lit up Li Shimin's pupils like scattering golden light, and his gaze stayed on it for a long time.

For a long time, Li Shimin has been constantly improving his policies, hoping to improve the people's livelihood, military, and national strength to the strongest peak of this era, but the result is always the opposite, as if God is working against him, and Datang still can't go further. As long as he thinks of the lost territory that has not been recovered outside the territory, the smug expressions of the barbarians will always make Li Shimin hate his teeth.

But the current Datang is almost the result of Li Shimin's best efforts, but he still can't subdue the lost ground, and for this, he can be said to be heartbroken.

And now, when he saw a few words on Li Ke's case, it made Li Shimin have a hint of enlightenment, and he couldn't help but remember that when he took the throne, he also got the help of many ministers, so to speak, without these people, there would be no Li Shimin today, let alone the thriving Tang Empire!

"Well, a good country is strong, and it must be people-oriented! Wang De, just let the outsiders stop fighting, and let him come in to see me. Although Li Shimin said a little excitedly, at the moment, he wanted to determine whether this word was made by Li Ke himself.

"Yes." Wang De answered, and went out to announce the emperor's message.

……

After a while, Li Ke put one hand on Wang De and touched his swollen and sore buttocks and entered his dormitory.

"Erchen has seen his father, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Li Ke saw Li Shimin's cold eyes, and he trembled and knelt on the ground in greeting.

"Oh my God, why has this just crossed a day, and you are going to suffer this catastrophe?" Li Ke thought sadly and indignantly, as if he saw that if he was the protagonist of the online article, then at the end of this chapter, there would be a word "Li Ke, pawn" and "the end of this book".

"Later, if Li Shimin wants to kill me, I will fight with them!" Li Ke thought fiercely.

"You rebel, you have to be punished before you understand your mistakes!" Li Shimin said, but he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and then said: "What are you still doing on your knees, stand up and let me see." ”

"Back to my father's words, let my sons kneel!" Li Ke said slowly.

It's not that he wants to kneel and fight against Li Shimin, but the facts don't allow it, although the two guards outside treat him with a hippie smile on weekdays, but he has just crossed over and is strict with them, so he offended them more or less.

"Why, you Li Ke can't listen to me obediently now?" When Li Shimin saw him say this, he was a little dissatisfied.

"Father, wronged, son's... The back is still swollen and painful, and I can't stand and can't do it! Li Ke shouted aggrievedly, lest Li Shimin drag him out again and continue to play the board.

"Well..."Li Shimin looked at Wang De's eyes to indicate whether this situation was true, and after Wang De nodded, he calmed down and said, "Since this is the case, then you can kneel!" ”

"Thank you, Father Huang Longen!" Li Ke finally understood what it meant to kneel at this time, and it was also a favor...

"Wang De, you go out first and wait outside." Li Shimin commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang De responded and retreated.

After Wang De withdrew.

"You wrote this letter, right?" Li Shimin asked as he took out the fold hidden in his sleeve with one hand, and then threw it away.

The twist and turn fell in front of Li Ke without deviation.

Li Ke opened the fold with trembling hands and confirmed: "This fold is exactly what Erchen wrote. ”

"So, I ask you, what is written on the paper on this case is also from you?"

"Whew... I thought that my letter had been judged to be a rebellion, but I wanted to confirm that I had written it myself. Li Ke thought about it, and after his mood relaxed, he spoke smoothly.

"Exactly." Li Ke said.

"Why did you write the words 'To be strong, people must be put first'?" Li Shimin asked eagerly.

"Erchen thinks like this: the real strength of a country does not depend on how many troops he has, how many famous generals, but on how the living conditions of the people of a country are, although the father has been reducing the burden of the people since he took the throne, but there is no fundamental reduction of the burden, the people are not rich, how can we talk about a strong country?"

Of course, these words are also the things searched by the Golden Book House, combined with what Li Ke himself has learned.

"Then according to your Li Ke's opinion, how can you achieve what you call 'enriching the people and strengthening the country'?" Li Shimin's voice was much lower, and any emperor would naturally feel uncomfortable when he heard that the policy he had adhered to until now was overturned.

"The retainers thought that there were the following methods: one was to formulate a plan to reduce the nobility, weaken some of the interests of the nobles, make the treasury richer, and thus reduce the levy; The second is 'anti-corruption', presumably the father knows about this, but there is no way to find out the corrupt officials, so the son proposed: the father can set up a team dedicated to the daily intelligence of the ministers, if there are corrupt ministers, they will be reminded first, and if they commit repeat offenses, they will confiscate their family property and let them leave the court;

"What is the third? His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you should say it quickly! Li Ke's sudden pause, the first reaction was Wei Zheng.

In his opinion, Li Ke, the king of Shu, said everything right, and he also told Li Shimin about this problem, but there was no way to solve it completely, but he saw the hope of changing the national strength of the Tang Dynasty from Li Ke's words!

"Li Ke, you go on, don't have any worries!" After Li Shimin reacted, he urged even more.

"The third is the need for the strong support of the father and the completion of the severe punishment, and the implementation of the chosen person without favoritism! If the above three aspects can be implemented, my Datang national strength will definitely be unparalleled! Li Ke's firm voice resounded in this Xiaoyao Palace.

The three people in the palace, except for Li Ke, were all stunned, and then showed a look of thought.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what His Royal Highness the King of Shu said is not unreasonable, but it can be implemented with what His Royal Highness the King of Shu said, and then it can be improved." For a long time, Wei Zheng took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also agrees with the views of His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Wei Lao." Fang Xuanling also said after some thought.

"Since both ministers have agreed, I will follow these two... Well, these three directions begin to execute! Li Shimin saw that the two elders agreed, so he naturally accepted it happily.

In fact, Li Shimin was satisfied with what Li Ke said, and he was afraid that when he went to court tomorrow, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling would come out to dissuade him, and then he would have to worry Li Shimin for a while.

"Since Li Ke has made such a great achievement, what reward do you want? As long as it can be reasonable, even if it is a fief with a good income, it is not impossible. Li Shimin was overjoyed, looked at Li Ke and asked.

I saw that Li Ke said calmly: "Erchen wants to ......."
