Li Su's letter was not addressed to Li Shimin, but to Wei Zheng.

Because this matter involved the abolished prince Li Chengqian and hurt Li Shimin's feelings, it is normal for Li Shimin to be angry.

At such a moment, it is necessary to have a cool-headed person to persuade and remind Li Shimin not to take drastic actions.

Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin's study,

Li Shimin was really angry. These people really forced Li Chengqian to death, and this incident touched the softest place in Li Shimin's heart. Emperor Li Shimin was furious and wanted to kill.

Just now in the early court, Li Shimin ordered the imperial history Zhao Wannian and the Ministry of Rites Yan Lide (Yan Liben's elder brother) to be imprisoned. Regarding Li Shimin's approach, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but they were a little unconvinced.

Seeing that Li Shimin was furious, no one dared to say anything.

Li Shimin heard Wei asking for an audience and knew that he had come to advise again. He said angrily: "No, I don't want to see anyone today." ”

As the secretary general of Li Shimin, he never advised Li Shimin, but acted according to Li Shimin's instructions. So, this one who does not include him.

Li Shimin said to him: "These bastard guys, they don't do their business all day long, and they just stare at making a fuss about these messy things, it's damned." ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty, you are doing the right thing. There are indeed many people who are not sincere. has been playing his own little abacus, because of his own dirty selfish desires, he is desperately trying to tell right and wrong there.

However, the minister found a problem, and the minister looked at the list of people who impeached the matter, most of them were from the gate lord clan or people related to them.

The ministers were also from the noble clan, but the ministers did not approve of their practices. However, the minister understands their mentality, and he can't convince them just by high-pressure means.

There are quite a few people standing behind them, and they have a lot of influence. The minister suggested that some measures should be taken to reason with them in order to educate other people who do not know the truth. ”

Li Shimin is also beginning to calm down now, and he also thinks that this matter is not as simple as it seems. He thought for a moment and said, "Call Wei Zheng in." ”

Wei Zheng is upright, but he is not unsophisticated, he knows that Li Shimin is on fire now, so he does not accuse Li Shimin of impulsiveness.

He analyzed Li Shimin's views on this matter, which was basically similar to Cen Wenwen. He proposed a compromise: Zhao Wannian and Yan Lide remained in detention. Li Shimin issued an edict asking the ministers to talk about the gains and losses of the imperial court's administration in recent years, and those who spoke were not guilty, but they were not allowed to engage in personal attacks.

The Tang Dynasty was moving towards glory, and it was normal for different voices to appear inside. Regarding the reform of the imperial court, Li Su believed that a lenient attitude should be adopted and radical methods should not be adopted. To alleviate the contradictions within the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.

In his letter to Wei Zheng, he mentioned that it was necessary to guide this matter and avoid personal attacks. There are different voices within the court, and we need to find an outlet for them and let them speak out. Reason with facts and convince them as much as you can.

Even if these people want to protect their own interests, they will still be dissatisfied. However, it is also possible to educate the broader masses of the people through this incident.

This time, the direction of the reform of the imperial court was clearly announced to the public.

For the gate valve clan, they should also be given a way out, and the contradictions within the society should be reduced as much as possible.

Li Shimin's mood has stabilized now. He felt that what Cen Wenwen and Wei Zheng said made sense. So he smiled and said, "Cen Wenwen and Yan Lide are both released." ”

He then issued an edict asking all the ministers to comment on the gains and losses of the imperial court over the years. If you have opinions and requests, you can put them all on the surface, and those who speak are not guilty. However, personal attacks are not allowed.

The release of Zhao Wannian and Yan Lide and the restoration of their official positions showed Li Shimin's attitude. The acquittal of the speakers in his edict was applauded, and the opposition put forward their opinions.

Li Shimin and others read the concerts of these people and summarized the questions they raised. The main aspects are as follows:

First, it is dissatisfied with the court's cessation of land sales.

Second, there are opinions on the reform of the imperial examination system.

3. Opinions on improving the status of industrial and commercial workers.

Subsequently, the imperial court announced these three issues, and decided to debate them five days later.

East Palace.

On this day, Li Ning'er was chatting with the three of them, sand mining and begonia, and Yang Kang came in. He said, "The prince has sent a letter. ”

The princesses were very happy and gathered around. Yang Kang said: "This letter is specially addressed to the fifth lady (Li Ning'er, she ranks fifth in terms of age). ”

Li Ning'er accepted the letter very excitedly, and the sisters were very envious of her.

Li Ninger is the deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation. Li Su wrote to her, telling her to sort out some relevant tax evidence in case of emergency.

Seeing the end of the letter, she looked at the other sisters in her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Liang Wang greets all of us." With that, she handed the letter to Haitang and the others.

Cai Sha and the others came up to take a look, and at the end of the letter, it was written: "Say hello to my seven beautiful babies, kiss one of them." ”

Hearing the news, Qibi Wuyun and others rushed to see the letter, and they all liked it very much.

Qibi Wuyun said: "We are worried about His Highness, it seems that he has prepared for what happened in Chang'an." However, Sister Ning'er, you are now seven months pregnant, so don't do this matter yourself, right? ”

Li Ning'er shook her head and said, "No, the stakes are very high, I have to handle it myself." ”

Princess Narcissus said, "Let me accompany Sister Ning'er." ”

Qibi Wuyun said: "Okay, you go with her, don't let her get tired." ”

Li Ning'er said: "Then thank you sister." ”

In the afternoon, Li Ninger and Narcissus came to the State Administration of Taxation. They first went to meet Ma Zhou, the director of taxation, and told him what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant.

Ma Zhou immediately sent someone to assist them in handling relevant business.

Wei Zheng specially approached the Minister of Education, Kong Yingda, and asked him to prepare a speech. As the direct executor of the reform of the imperial examination system, he has the most right to speak.

Li Tai was jealous of Li Su and spread these rumors, but he didn't expect to cause such an uproar. He was very proud in his heart, and instructed those who were dissatisfied with the reform of the imperial examination in the Faculty of Arts to be prepared to intensify their attacks on this matter, and strive to overturn the current achievements of the educational reform and restore the original imperial examination system.

Li Ke was very depressed, he couldn't imagine that his cronie Zhao Wannian would come forward to impeach the deposed prince Li Chengqian, causing such a big turmoil, and he felt a little sorry for Li Chengqian. However, he is also a little helpless, since he was belittled, he and Zhao Wannian basically have no contact.

This afternoon, Tai Chi Hall.

The debate began.
