A word or a move from a superior person may cause a storm.

Li Yuanji brought the seven-year-old Li Chengguang into the cabinet, which was extremely shocking news for the entire Tang Dynasty.

Its political significance has long gone beyond the matter itself, as for the statement of what to visit, it is better to wash and sleep as soon as possible, the emperor is not so idle, and the ministers do not have so much heart to think about this aspect.

The cabinet, the court meeting, the two most important places for the current court activities, the former is important, and the latter is supplementary.

In the current government system, because each yamen performs its own duties, the people who are responsible for managing each yamen are in the cabinet.

All the yamen had to report something to their respective superiors, the yamen, and then the superiors and yamen would discuss it in the cabinet meeting.

The court meeting has basically become a monthly meeting, not to meet, but to encourage the ministers, to give others some hope, and at the same time to give them some competitive pressure.

The biggest advantage of this is that the yamen can spend more time on business, rather than half a day on going to court.

There is no way to verify the era in which the early dynasty system first originated, but what really became customized was after Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty took office, and it was set as a five-day dynasty.

The Tang system was attacked into the Sui system, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, it was changed to a daily dynasty, and Li Yuanji was also a daily dynasty before the reform.

In this way, a lot of time was wasted, not only the time of the emperor, but also the time of the ministers.

The cabinet system solves this problem very well, only half a day of meetings every ten days can solve the problem, in case of emergency, you can also directly find the emperor, or apply for an extraordinary meeting to discuss.

This system is very flexible and strict at the same time, and all the rules are formulated according to needs.

Therefore, the ministers had more time to do their business, and the emperor had more time to relax in addition to doing business.

The cabinet meeting is the most important meeting of the Tang Dynasty at present, and every time the cabinet meeting is held, the discussion must be related to the major matters related to the decision-making of the Tang Dynasty.

In normal times, when meetings are held, they are protected by the three layers inside and outside the forbidden army, and idlers and miscellaneous people are not allowed to approach, and it is strictly forbidden to make noise within 100 meters around, and even some things that are not particularly important must be stopped, so as to ensure that cabinet meetings are not disturbed in any form.

And today, Li Yuanji brought Li Chengguang over without warning.

Who is Lee Seung-gwang?

Li Yuanji's nominal fifth son, in fact, the eldest son, according to the ancient system, Li Chengguang is the first choice for the crown prince and the first heir to the throne.

Seniority is still very important in this era, unless the eldest son is not successful, otherwise, even if he is a mediocre person, there are not too many shining points, not to mention that he will not be the emperor in the future, this first prince is definitely him, which can't run away.

With the prince in power, what is the significance of it, does it need to be said?

It was not that the minister had not considered the emperor to appoint the crown prince before, after all, the sooner the prince was determined, the more advantageous it would be.

In this way, the whole country can divide resources as soon as possible, and tilt more resources towards the crown prince to cultivate his ability to become a prince.

But at that time, considering that Li Chengguang was still young, the ministers only discussed it privately and rejected the idea, after all, Li Yuanji did not have any sign of canonizing the crown prince.

As a result, this cabinet meeting was surprisingly calm.

Originally, there should be a place for controversy, there should be a noisy place, the ministers temporarily restrained, just calmly put forward some of their own views and opinions, everyone was discussing calmly, and there was rarely the scene of the old days of contention.

Several matters were discussed, the formation of the Audit Ministry was announced, and a series of appointments were announced, and the meeting ended early.

Of course, although the emperor left with Li Chengguang, the ministers were not in a hurry to leave.

Why wasn't it noisy just now? Why don't you scold your mother?

It's not to curry favor with Lee Seung-gwang, who may be canonized as the crown prince next, but to leave some shadows in his heart by not letting Lee Seung-gwang attend a cabinet meeting for the first time.

Some things are gradual, and that's important.

"Your Majesty, this is a reassuring pill for us......" Xiao Yu took the rare initiative to speak.

"Yes, it's just right at this point ......in time," Fang Xuanling also echoed.

The canonization of a prince is not just a prince, a prince.

In the same way, the canonization of the prince is still giving the world a reassurance, the state-owned monarch and the prince can be considered complete, although everyone is also very motivated now, but after the canonization of the prince, this heart will be really down-to-earth, and it will also make the direction of everyone's struggle more clear.

The thirty-one-year-old Li Yuanji has been in power for at least twenty to thirty years, and at that time, the crown prince Li Chengguang was only twenty-seven or thirty-seven, even if it was later, the impact was not great.

Once the crown prince has grown up and the child has grown up, the crown prince will be cultivated as the third generation of the prince in the future, and it is impossible for the prince to die.

This so-called dynastic is not the superficial discontinuation, but refers to whether the new monarch can have the ability to control the government in a short period of time when he ascends the throne as a criterion.

If you have this ability, then the new monarch only needs a year or two to sort out the government, and then he can develop according to his own ideas, if not, he is likely to be confused by traitors, which will have a huge impact on the country.

At the age of seven, he began to train the prince, this time point is not late, just right, and even if the prince does not perform well, there is still a chance to replace the prince, which is the reason why the sooner the prince is determined, the more beneficial it is to the country.

The choice of the new monarch often means whether a country is going to prosperity or decline, time can give the answer, and a person without talent will not be able to sit firmly in the position of prince.

Although the prince shines, he will also gather more eyes, and he will not be allowed to make mistakes at all, so whether he can withstand this pressure is also a very important factor.

Therefore, don't think that you can become an emperor when you become a prince, and becoming a prince is just another step towards success.

"What are we going to do next? Do you want to do a resource tilt? Someone asked.

The so-called resource tilt refers to providing the prince with greater power within their respective areas of authority, allowing him to understand, learn, and even make certain decisions, so as to transform.

Although this is illegal and ultra vires, this kind of thing is not uncommon in various dynasties, because it is conducive to the growth of the crown prince, and if it is wrong, with these old guys, it is almost impossible for mistakes to happen, because wrong orders cannot be issued at all.

"For the time being, it is still not necessary, this time His Majesty is obviously bringing the eldest prince to feel the atmosphere, and the initial stage is mostly based on feelings, and will not let the eldest prince enter a deeper study too early, if you guess correctly, in the next two or three years, I am afraid it will be like this." Ma Zhou shook his head and rejected the proposal.

Li Yuanji is not the kind of person who is reckless, and every choice he makes, he thinks about it many times, thinks about many questions, and what problems may occur.

The canonization of the crown prince is not a trivial matter, and the fault tolerance rate is also small.

In order to ensure that there are no mistakes and that the probability of the dethronement of the prince will not occur in the future, the only thing that can be done is to conduct sufficient investigation before the crown prince is canonized.

Now, it can only be said that Li Chengguang has entered the cultivation stage, and whether he can pass this assessment or not is not something they can decide, and for the cultivation of the prince, to be honest, they really can't interject.

Because of those thoughts of theirs, they have long been behind, yes, backward.

Of course, this is just compared to Li Yuanji, compared with the outside world, their thinking is still relatively advanced, as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

There is another thing that the ministers don't understand, so far, Li Yuanji has not canonized any prince and princess, which has caused the ministers to be very embarrassed when they see the prince.

By their first name? This is not good, it is not to observe etiquette, but there is no title to be called, so in desperation, I have to arrange it in the order of oldest and youngest.

……

On the other side, Li Yuanji took Li Chengguang to stroll on the road in the palace, and the father and son had their own concerns.

"How do you feel today?" In the end, it was Li Yuanji who took the lead in asking, of course, he didn't have much hope in his heart.

It's the first time, it's good to be able to have no stage fright, after all, it's just a seven-year-old child, what can you expect from him?

Again, the ministers have also changed the normal state of the past, Li Yuanji is clear about what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, but Li Chengguang may not be clear.

"Father, son-in-law, son-in-law ......" Li Chengguang hesitated, and said with some worry: "Erchen feels a little unreal, and Erchen doesn't feel too much vitality in the ministers. ”

Hearing this answer, Li Yuanji smiled slightly, a little surprised in his heart.

I wonder how the ministers would have reacted if they had known about this assessment? And how wonderful will the expression on the face be?

They were well-intentioned, but they ignored Lee Seung-gwang's own level.

"Go back and think about today's cabinet meeting, summarize your feelings, and then come back to me." Li Yuanji commanded gently, although he saw today's abnormality, but he only saw it, as a prince, it was enough to be able to see it, and he could see it for the first time in a cabinet meeting, which also proved that his own ability was not bad.

But as a future prince, it is not enough to just see it.

Although this is a bit demanding, this is the reality, when I first started, didn't I come over like this?

"You are not to mention to anyone what I have commanded you, and you are not to ask anyone for help."
