Chapter 63: The First Day Without Autumn Pity
Li Shimin held back his anger and continued to look at the letter written by Li Chengqian.
"Father, the local officials have been corrupted too badly by the scholars. Not only is the phenomenon of corruption, but also the phenomenon of officials protecting each other is particularly serious. If we don't do something, the Tang Dynasty will be eaten up by the scholars. ”
Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile. Li Chengqian is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense, so since he wrote it like this, then Li Chengqian will definitely come up with a solution.
Li Shimin was very curious about what kind of solution his demonic son would propose.
Li Shimin, who was in a much better mood, continued to look at the letter.
"Father, we should set up a special agency to supervise local officials. This agency is not only responsible for supervising local officials, but also allows those who care about Datang to directly respond to you through this agency. In this way, those who have nowhere to petition, and who petition to no avail, can play their part. ”
"Then promulgate a series of reward and punishment mechanisms for local officials to mobilize the enthusiasm of local officials. It can make them no longer care about corruption, and let the phenomenon of officials protecting each other disappear completely. ”
After reading the letter written by Li Chengqian, Li Shimin smiled. Sure enough, just as Li Shimin thought, since Li Chengqian raised the problem, the solution will definitely follow.
First, there is the problem of corruption and the problem of local officials being corrupted, and the problem of officials protecting each other. The proposed solutions are very good. Li Shimin knows that these two solutions are already the best. Li Chengqian's ability made Li Shimin very happy. Let Li Shimin know that his high hopes for Li Chengqian are not in vain.
"What's wrong? Emperor. "Empress Eldest Sun was very curious when she saw that Li Shimin's face had changed so many times when she read a letter.
"Look. I'll make up my mind after reading it. Li Shimin handed the letter to Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at it vigorously, which made Li Si, who had been kneeling on the ground, suffer. In front of him was the emperor, and Li Si's pressure was enormous. I didn't even dare to gasp for the atmosphere. You must know that the phrase "companion is like a companion tiger" is not a joke, if you don't say a word, the consequence is to be killed, and the nine clans will be punished.
After a long time, Empress Changsun also read the letter written by Li Chengqian.
After reading the letter, Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and saw that Li Shimin's eyes were full of relief.
"Your Majesty, since you have already made up your mind in your heart, why do you need your concubines to come and participate. The concubine looked at the letter and felt that she was proud. Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin with tenderness.
"That's good." Li Shimin is a generation of emperors, and when it is time to make a decision, he will definitely not be soft. "You, go to the treasury and fetch two thousand guan and send it to the prince. Tell him that I promised everything in his letter. Just let him do it. As for the name, let him pick it up himself. When the decree is finished tomorrow morning, I will send someone to send it. Li Shimin pointed at Li Si and said with a smile.
"Yes." Although Li Si heard the beginning and the end, this is the task assigned by the emperor. Even if you don't understand it, you have to write it down without missing a word. Otherwise, if the news is wrong, even if Li Si has ten heads, it will not be enough to cut off.
"Stand down." Li Shimin waved his hand.
Li Si left, and Empress Eldest Sun immediately said. "Your Majesty, will your wrist be too big this time and let the scholars fight back."
After all, Empress Changsun is a woman, and it is impossible to be as fearless as Li Shimin, and she lacks the indomitable will of men. Empress Eldest Sun naturally has a lot more questions to think about than Li Shimin. is also much more worried than Li Shimin.
"Fight back? No, they won't. "As an emperor, how can Li Shimin be an impulsive and frizzy person? Li Shimin had already thought about the problem of the Shi clan's counterattack. The Shi clan is in its own way, and if Li Shimin does not order the eradication of the Shi clan, the Shi clan will not unite under any circumstances.
"If I make such a holy decree, not only will they not fight back, but their noble clans who don't have much resources in the local officialdom will applaud me. Because I have weakened the power of those strong warriors. The strong warriors will be dissatisfied with us, but the weaker ones will help us stop. Li Shimin explained with a smile.
As he spoke, Li Shimin suddenly found that he could think of this, so Li Chengqian didn't already know it when he wrote the letter? Li Shimin became more and more satisfied with his prince.
Li Shimin felt that no matter whether he solved the Shi clan during his reign or not, as long as Li Chengqian could grow up smoothly to the upper position, then the end of the Shi clan would come.
"Oh." can become a queen, how can the eldest grandson queen not be a smart person? Although Li Shimin did not fully explain it clearly, just these few words, Empress Eldest Sun understood everything.
Are the gentry monolithic? No, of course not, if it were, then it would not be Li Tang's dynasty today. is also a scholar, as long as there is more than oneself in the team, then the weak scholar clan will definitely be dissatisfied. If the strong warriors are weakened, the weak warriors will definitely be very happy. And once the strong scholars have bad intentions, the weak scholars will help the Li family to block it.
I have to say that Li Chengqian's suggestion is really very good. Use the gentry to suppress the gentry clan. Then only the Li family will benefit.
"Our son, I really keep surprising it." Li Shimin said with a smile. "It's my son, hahaha."
Seeing Li Shimin's happy appearance, Empress Eldest Sun also smiled heartily. Who doesn't want their children to be capable?
The next day, Li Chengqian finally woke up from his sleep. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, Li Chengqian felt that he was a pig, but he was also very hungry. What's the first thing when you're hungry? Of course, it was to eat Qiu Lian's breakfast, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and just wanted to ask Qiu Lian to make breakfast. As a result, I found that this was not my own Taiji Palace, but in the official mansion of Yongzhou. Qiu Lian also returned to the Taiji Hall yesterday.
"Hey." Li Chengqian sighed helplessly, without Qiu Lian's breakfast, Li Chengqian's mood instantly fell to the bottom. However, there is no way, for the sake of his own loser career, for the sake of the loser who can do whatever he wants in the future, Li Chengqian decided to wronged himself first.
Of course, it's not that Li Chengqian is hypocritical, but it's really hard to have a bad day without autumn pity. Li Chengqian's stomach was accustomed to Qiu Lian's cooking, and when he ate this meal made by the people of Yongzhou, he almost vomited. Fortunately, Li Chengqian suffered a lot before the crossing, otherwise Li Chengqian would have really vomited.
The previous chapter has already been filled, and because of the short notice of the evening choir rehearsal, the update can only be continued after ten o'clock. I'm sorry.
