Datang is "governing the country by virtue", which is fundamentally different from the "rule of law" in later generations.

And the most obvious manifestation is that from top to bottom, when Datang faces a matter, the first thing to judge is not whether it is in line with the law, but whether it is in line with human ethics.

To put it bluntly, the subjective consciousness is very strong.

Gao Ming understands this, so when he convinces everyone, he chooses to win the favor of everyone first, so that when he talks about things next, everyone will not find fault.

Judging by the current state of affairs, this strategy has been successful.

Looking at the peaceful scene above the court, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, and then arched his hand towards everyone again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the land rewarded this time has a certain number of years, isn't this a reminder for everyone? Let's think about it, seventy years is enough time for your grandchildren, and even great-grandsons and great-great-grandsons to stand on their own, if they work hard, then Datang will not treat them badly in the future! ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, everyone immediately glanced at each other again, and then nodded lightly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right!"

"Yes, people often say that seventy years is indeed enough!"

"yes, yes......"

Just when everyone nodded yes, I saw a military general in armor walk out, and then hugged his fist towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there will be something I don't know in the end, if you follow what you said, then after seventy years, if the descendants of the family are not good, will this fief be taken back? The last general is a rough man, and I hope His Highness will tell the truth! ”

Hearing the words of this general, Gao Ming was stunned at first, but then laughed again in an instant.

His words must also be what many people want to ask, right? Then I'll tell you, it's not up to me to take back the fiefdom or not! ”

"This ......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, not only the military general who asked him questions, but even most of the officials present showed puzzled expressions.

"Didn't the prince say it? Who's going to say that? ”

Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Gao Ming suddenly showed a serious face.

"I have just said that my Datang is under the energy of two generations of virtuous emperors, as well as the dedicated assistance of you, to have today's prosperous era, but unfortunately, I am an incapable prince!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, everyone present immediately showed a kind smile.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too humble!"

"If a person like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is incapable, then I can only say goodbye to the old man and return home!"

"Yes, yes!"

Seeing everyone cheering like this, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, and then shook his head again.

"Thank you for looking up to it, but I'm not modest, I'm telling the truth, if one day I ascend the throne and become the emperor, I need to rely on your descendants to govern the world, if they are not capable, then the Tang Dynasty is probably going to be over!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming shrugged his shoulders again, and then spread his hands towards everyone present.

"Think about it, if the Tang Dynasty dies, then what's the use of a long land life? Who will support and protect their interests? Just like the original Sui Dynasty, where is the Marquis of Wanhu at that time? ”

Faced with Gao Ming's three questions, many ministers frowned and thought about it again, and even Li Shimin showed a surprised look.

"Gao Ming's words are indeed very insightful!"

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Gao Ming sighed with emotion.

"You are all officials of the Tang Dynasty, first of all, you must understand that the country, the country, there is a country to have a home!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, everyone present, including Li Shimin, all had round eyes, and their faces showed a look of shock.

"Only when there is a country can there be a home?"

In this era of the family and the country, this is the first time that someone has put forward the concept of "country before family", and the impact is naturally very large.

However, at this time, there was really no one to refute, and everyone couldn't find a place to refute, so the court was quiet again.

Seeing that no one said anything for a long time, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help it at first, he immediately stood up, and then bowed his hand to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, anyway, after seventy years, my old Cheng has already become a piece of loess, if the descendants are not successful, they will not be able to keep this family business, it is better to return it to the Tang Dynasty and let other capable people take it!"

As soon as Cheng Yanjin's words fell, Yu Chigong also stood up.

"The old minister also thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, if there is no protection from the state, what is the use of the fief for a long time? Seventy years is seventy years, if the children and grandchildren have the ability, why is it difficult to earn another seventy years? ”

With the two "heavyweight" generals Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong at the beginning, soon, the generals behind them all stood up.

"Only when there is a country can there be a home, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right!"

"We are willing to accept the fief for seventy years!"

"Yes, I do!"

Since the parties have said so, Li Shimin naturally has nothing to say, so he immediately rewarded the fief with the number of years, and by the way, asked the household department to do a good job of filing.

After the fiefdom matter is settled, the rest is a few small things.

These little things naturally didn't need to be clever, so after he bowed to Li Shimin, he retreated into the queue, squinting and dozing off.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with helplessness again.

"I really can't help this guy, and I don't know what will happen to him after he ascends the throne in the future, it's really unrelenting, it seems that I have to help him carry it for a few years in this world!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately subconsciously patted the armrest of his seat, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When it was almost noon, the political affairs in the court were over, and with the swing of Li Shimin's long sleeves, the female wrestler tank standing next to him shouted in a thick voice.

"Retreat—"

Since Liu Bing left, the last dynasty and the retreat were all shouted by tanks, and the ministers were a little unaccustomed to it at first, but now they are used to it, and as soon as her words fell, everyone also shouted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

In the shouts of everyone, Li Shimin walked away with his head held high, and when he left, he gave Gao Ming a look and motioned for him to follow him.

Seeing Li Shimin glaring at him, Gao Ming was not easy to procrastinate, so he hurriedly followed Li Shimin behind him and left the hall, and then came to the Forbidden Garden together.

After entering the imperial study, Gao Ming had just closed the door of the imperial study, and Li Shimin suddenly asked him.

"How long was the state of the Tang Dynasty?"

"289 years!"

Gao Ming didn't expect Li Shimin to suddenly ask such a question, so he didn't react at all, and answered casually.

After he answered, he realized that he had fallen in love with Li Shimin, and he was immediately stunned.

"What's the situation? The old driver ran a red light? ”

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly realized that it was too late to "brake", so he could only take the method of "forcibly changing lanes".

"Uh...... What did you just ask, old man? I didn't hear clearly, why don't you ask again? ”

Li Shimin: "......"
