Chapter 303: I have to reward but I can't reward you
Chapter 303 has to be rewarded but there is no reward
I don't know how to reward it, but if you want to say that you don't reward it, it won't work, if you don't reward people for such a big achievement, not only will you have no face to reward for your meritorious service in the future, but who in the entire Tang Dynasty can have greater merit than the prince? The prince should not be rewarded for such a great achievement, who can make a higher contribution than the prince? Where will they have face to be rewarded?
If they really don't give a reward, it means that they will offend everyone in the whole world, and once they anger the people of the world, even if the civil and military officials are high-ranking princes and princesses, they will eventually be disliked by the people of the world, burned by their anger, and have no place to bury.
Besides, the prince has made such a great contribution, but you don't reward him, what will Li Zhen think? Could he have misunderstood something? And with Li Zhen's sensitive identity, if he misunderstands something, he is afraid that there will be a series of bad effects, and maybe the emperor can only calm Li Zhen's anger by abandoning certain people (such as those who advocate not rewarding the crown prince).
What's more, even if Li Zhen doesn't mind, those people under him won't be willing - my Royal Highness has made such a great contribution, and you will give a verbal reward? Even if His Royal Highness is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, so what? Doesn't the prince need to be rewarded for his meritorious service? Is this the truth of the sect?
He is the crown prince, but he is not the emperor yet, even if Emperor Li Zhen makes such a great contribution in the future, he is qualified to treat himself, right? It's too chilling for you to treat meritorious people like this, you don't even reward such merits, who will work the battlefield in the future......
Therefore, the prince can't help but reward it, but he has to reward it greatly, but ......
How should he be rewarded?
Embarrassed......
Headache......
Tangled......
The hundred officials fell into contradictions, Li Zhen's merits could not be rewarded, but they wanted to reward but could not be rewarded, such a miracle had never been seen even if they had been officials for decades. Not to mention ordinary people, even the few ministers standing in the court at this time are all entangled in wanting to get their hair - they have been officials for decades, and it is the first time they have seen such an unrewarding thing.
If Li Zhen is an ordinary person, then that's it, this situation is really easy to solve - since there is nothing to reward, then slaughter it. Anyway, since ancient times, kings have done this to those heroes who have contributed to the sky, especially Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who gave a bad start to the future, especially Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, who have applied this law to the extreme.
But Li Zhen is different, he not only has great credit, but his status is even more terrifying - he is the prince, the prince, and the future emperor. It's easy for you to kill, but what about after you kill you? Where are you going to get another Li Zhen to inherit the throne?
Although there are many sons of the emperor, but there is no one who can be comparable to Li Zhen in terms of talent, and if one Li Zhen dies, what will happen to the future of the Tang Dynasty? For the sake of immediate convenience, but Datang lost its future, isn't it because of a small loss?
Even those who wish that Li Zhen would die without a place to be buried would never dare to express such thoughts at this time, otherwise they would definitely die first.
Now it's easy for you to kill Li Zhen because there is no reward, but the Tang Dynasty has lost its future, how can they do such a thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall?
Even if they wanted to, would the emperor agree? Li Zhen is his most trusted and reassuring son, and he is also his chosen future heir to the throne - you want to force me to kill my own son in order to save trouble, do you think I will agree?
And there is another problem, Li Shimin is one of the few emperors in history who does not kill or suspect meritorious heroes (even if he kills, the ministers rebel first, and he rarely takes the initiative to kill his courtiers), which is comparable to Qin Shi Huang.
And the reason why he didn't kill heroes was because he was able to control them, and on the other hand, because he needed to leave a good name in history to wash away the stains caused by his Xuanwumen change.
But if you don't pass it now, you will all force my son to death, you will all force the future of Datang to death, what's the use of me still having this good reputation?
Isn't this forcing Li Shimin to go on a killing spree?
The people of the Tang Dynasty are not the only ones who have high merit and shock the master, if it is really discussed, everyone in the Lingyan Pavilion can be regarded as the master of the high merit - Li Zhen will be killed, and the people on the Lingyan Pavilion will not all die?
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong, Yu Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin and others are all here, do you want to kill them indirectly?
Hehe, who will kill whom?
What's more, even under the persecution of hundreds of officials, the emperor agreed to kill Li Zhen, can Li Zhen himself agree?
You must know that Li Zhen is not an unarmed prince, he not only holds great power and directly controls hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, but also serves in front of the tent with Xue Rengui and others, and secretly has various spy killer organizations hidden in the secret, once Li Zhen detects the intention of the imperial court to do something to him - with Li Zhen's character, how can he sit still?
In other words, as long as the imperial court shows murderous intent towards Li Zhen, or even as long as Li Zhen is aware of the unkindness of the imperial court, then he will definitely rebel, there is no doubt about this - and with the situation that Datang is now comparable to dancing on a tightrope, Li Zhen's rebellion is like cutting a tightrope with scissors......
Even if Li Zhen is destroyed in the end, the Tang Dynasty will not want to be saved.
Let alone......
Will Lee Jeong be destroyed?
It's very unlikely......
Because this is Lingnan, it is Li Zhen's territory, the Tang Emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials are on Li Zhen's territory, if Li Zhen chooses to rebel at this time, then the entire Tang Dynasty court will fall into his hands, isn't it just for him to pinch and flatten and fiddle with it at will?
Although Li Zhen is selfless on the surface, he also said that he can give up everything, including his own life, for the sake of the strength of the Tang Dynasty - but as the saying goes, knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, who knows whether what he is showing is true or not, if everything is true, this is naturally easy to say, for the sake of the overall situation, Li Zhen is likely to be killed, but in case this is just a play he played to please Li Shimin, then everything is not easy to say, he is likely to resist regardless of it, and everything will be closed at that time.
In the judgment of the officials, Li Zhen's performance is more in line with the former - nonsense, you are all ready to take my life, and I will pay attention to the overall situation with you? Are you kidding? I am selfless, but I am so selfless that I dedicate my heart and soul to the country, but you still want my life, so I am still selfless?
Let's just put on a position and copy the guys.
