Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "ruling the world with filial piety" can be said to have implemented the political policy of the feudal dynasty for two thousand years, and the main idea is actually a sentence - if you can be filial piety at home, you can be loyal to the country.

During the Han Dynasty, the appointment of officials relied on the recommendation of others, and the name of this official position is also particularly representative, its name is "filial piety"!

During this long period of feudal dynasty rule, filial piety equals talent, this sentence seems ridiculous, but in fact it is really not a joke, even the "Tang Law" stipulates that Lao Tzu has broken the law, and if the son helps to hide, he is not guilty!

It can be seen that filial piety can already be above the law.

Even Li Shimin's employment policy is like this, take Yu Zhining as an example, the reason why he is valued by Li Shimin is not because of how outstanding his talent is, but because he is a filial son.

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Yu Zhining's mother died, and he directly resigned and went home to guard filial piety, but he had only been gone for a month, and Li Shimin sent someone to invite him back, and since then, he has been promoted step by step to the position of Shangshu's left servant.

To put it bluntly, as long as Li Shimin thinks who is a filial son, then whoever will send it.

That's how Gao Ming is today.

On the second day after returning from Zhaoling, Li Shimin sent people to send several boxes of things to Gao Ming, including gold, silver, jewelry, various colors of silk and satin, and various ornaments, scattered in a large pile, and the book and sword were packed up in the morning.

And what Gao Ming cares about the most is that among the things that Li Shimin rewarded him this time, there is also a Tang knife more than one meter long, this knife Gao Ming had seen in Li Shimin's imperial study.

"What does the old man mean by giving me this knife? Shang Fangbao knife slashing people is not illegal? ”

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately shook his head with a smile, and then tied the Tang knife around his waist and took two steps back and forth.

"Well, it looks pretty majestic!"

The reason why Gao Ming has such a feeling is actually normal, after all, in modern times more than a thousand years later, a dagger can be regarded as a controlled knife, let alone a Tang knife, if anyone dares to carry it on the street to swagger through the market, they must be invited to the police station for tea in minutes.

But now Gao Ming doesn't have this concern, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the prince of a country, it is too normal to carry a knife around his waist, not to mention that this knife was given to him by Li Shimin, and he naturally has no pressure on him.

In order to let more people see his "majestic posture", Gao Ming also went to the morning court the next day, and made the Tang knife on his waist "click" while walking, for fear that others would not be able to see it.

Gao Ming's posture naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially a few ministers who often went in and out of the imperial study, they recognized the origin of the Tang knife on Gao Ming's waist at a glance, so they looked at Gao Ming's eyes a little differently.

"Even this knife was given to him, it seems that His Majesty really values His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As everyone guessed, just after going to the court, Li Shimin announced two major news.

The first news is that Zheng Yunyin, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, was transferred to Taichang Temple as Taichangqing, and the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department was held by Shangguanyi, the original living room.

The second news is that all the officials of the former Jinju were scattered to the nine prefectures and counties near Jingzhao Province to take office, and all the vacant positions in Jinju were selected by the crown prince to take office, and before these officials arrived, the entire territory of Jinju was fully taken over by the Hundred Cavalry Guard.

As soon as these two news came out, there was an uproar.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is like the Minister of Police in later generations, which can be said to be a powerful official, but Taichangqing is in charge of the sacrifice, and his usual functions are to check whether the things used in the sacrifice are complete, and the pots and pans are not clean.

Although the grades of Shangshu and Taichangqing of the Criminal Department are both positive and third-grade, as long as they are discerning, they can see the advantages and disadvantages of the two.

If the change of the criminal department is surprising to everyone, then Li Shimin's move to mobilize the officials of the entire Jinju can be said to make everyone completely shocked.

You must know that Jinju is a central state, he includes at least five or more county officials, and there are as many as 100 subordinate officials, such an overall transfer has never been precedented, so as soon as Li Shimin's words fell, some people immediately came out to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, this matter ......"

But before he could speak, Li Shimin directly waved his hand to interrupt him.

"I've made up my mind, there's no need to discuss it at this time, step down!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Li Shimin's attitude was so resolute, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who were the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, were useless, the other ministers couldn't say anything, so they agreed and retreated.

At this time, Gao Ming suddenly stood up with a smile on his face, and then bowed to Li Shimin.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Tai, Li Ke, Li Zhi and other princes also stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

Seeing this scene, many ministers were stunned.

"It's understandable that King Wu and King Jin are on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why is King Wei also on his side?"

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken care of his own affairs, so he will start to deal with the Zheng family."

"Hehe, if you offend His Royal Highness the Prince, the Zheng family is going to be unlucky."

With this in mind, everyone's eyes suddenly became different again.

After the court meeting was dispersed, Gao Ming walked out of the main hall with his head held high in the ministers' "attention salute", and then went to the imperial study.

Seeing Gao Ming coming in, Li Shimin immediately touched his beard.

"Gao Ming, it seems that you like this knife I gave you!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming laughed.

"Of course, you trust me so much, and give me this Shang Fang treasure knife that beheads the faint king and the traitorous minister, I am happy from the bottom of my heart, hahahaha......"

“……”

Gao Ming smiled and smiled, and suddenly found that Li Shimin's face was a little wrong, and he suddenly thought that there seemed to be something wrong with what he said just now, so he hurriedly explained.

"Uh...... Don't think about it, old man, I'm not saying you're a faint king, I mean...... Be...... It's when your grandson becomes the emperor in the future, if he is a faint king, I will use this sword to cut off his dog's head! ”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened.

"You dare! If you dare to cut off my grandson, I will cut off your dog's head first! ”

“……”

Is this an intergenerational parent?

Looking at Li Shimin, who was wide-eyed, Gao Ming suddenly showed a wry smile.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's okay to count me wrong, let's not talk about this for now, I came to you for something very important."

Hearing Gao Ming say this, Li Shimin suddenly glared at him angrily.

"Say!"

Seeing that he had successfully diverted the topic, Gao Ming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a serious expression.

"What I want to say about the Tang Imperial Academy established in Jinju and the teaching of the academy."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Datang Royal Academy? That's a good name, don't you want me to send the master of the country to you? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming immediately shook his head with a smile.

"Yes! Neither is it! ”

Seeing that Li Shimin frowned, Gao Ming no longer sold Guanzi, but directly gave his own answer.

"It's true that I need you to send me a master, but I don't want the rotten people in the Guozi Prison, I want officials from the Criminal Department!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin immediately frowned.

"An official of the Criminal Department? What do you want the officials of the Criminal Department to do? ”

"Teaching, of course!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Although there are many talents selected for the imperial examination of my Tang Dynasty, including Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, etc., but to put it mildly, in my opinion, they are basically not very useful, for a magistrate, these are not as good as a book of "Tang Laws"!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's brows immediately furrowed.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that Li Shimin seemed to be a little unhappy, Gao Ming suddenly sighed.

"Alas...... Since we have formulated the "Datang Law", as long as there are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated, in this way, what is the problem of governance in one place? If there is, then there must be something wrong with the law, and it must be changed! ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin's brows immediately wrinkled.

"There are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated? Yours is quite a bit of a Legalist, who told you this? ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing.

"No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat, and in the same way, whether it is Confucianism or Legalism, as long as it can govern the country well, it doesn't matter which one it is!"

Gao Ming's words can be said to have touched Li Shimin's heart, and he immediately laughed.

"Hahahaha, that's right, whether it's Confucianism or Legalism, as long as you can govern the country well, you can talk about your thoughts."

"Yes!"

Gao Ming nodded again, and then explained to Li Shimin.

"My idea is that we don't need too many masters, we just need to find two kinds of masters, one is to teach students to read and write, and the other is to teach them the laws of the Tang Dynasty, let's first cultivate a group of officials who can govern the place well, and then we will not be restrained by the family gate."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming showed a shrewd smile again.

"And we can instill the students' loyal and patriotic thoughts from all angles, after more than ten years of subtle transformation, these loyal and patriotic thoughts will take root in their consciousness, and they don't have to worry about being co-opted by the family gate valve in the future."

Obviously, having a group of officials who are completely loyal to him is what Li Shimin values the most, so when he heard Gao Ming's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Li Shimin's eager look, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows at him, and then showed a meaningful smile.

"I have already composed a college song, called "I Love Tang Xuanwumen".
