In November, Li Shimin toured Huaizhou, which is almost the Jiaozuo area of the later generations, and there are several places where the scenery is extremely beautiful, such as Qingtian River, Shennong Mountain, and Pusan, which is the Yuntai Mountain of later generations.

There are cliff carvings and official roads in the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Qingtian River Basin, Shennong Mountain is the place where Wei Huacun, a female Taoist priest of the Western Jin Dynasty, cultivated for 42 years, and the "Huangting Jing", which is known as one of the "Four Heavenly Books", was also written here.

In many myths and legends, Busan is known as Pangu Mountain, Nuwa Mountain, and Five Elements Mountain.

These three places are all beautiful places, canyons, springs, waterfalls and all kinds of wonders.

It's a pity that Li Shimin chose to visit here in November, although the scenery is still beautiful, especially after a snowfall, but no matter how beautiful the snow scene is, it is not as charming as the lush spring and summer scenery.

Li Shimin probably didn't think there was anything fun in winter, so he only visited Huaizhou for a few days, and returned to Luoyang Palace at the end of the month.

The weather is cold, and the disaster relief work in Luoyang has basically come to an end, the damaged houses should be repaired, and the lack of food should be relieved, and as soon as the weather is cold, there are not many epidemics that are already under control.

As a result, the people who were affected by the disaster returned to their homes one after another from the Mingde Palace, Xuanpu Garden and other resettlement sites.

People can't always live in sadness, people are always forgetful, time is the best medicine to soothe scars, etc., anyway, in a word, although Luoyang overflowed and drowned seven or eight thousand, and died of tens of thousands, but a few months later, on the first day of the first lunar month, everyone put their sadness behind and smiled happily for a happy Spring Festival.

The emperor too, had a very happy New Year, especially when he was not in the court, there were more than half of the courtiers, and there were many fewer people who made him unhappy.

It's just that it didn't take long for the civil servants to start seeking benefits for their own group again.

Civil officials are always like this, and there are many demands for life.

No, on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Shangyuan Festival, the first two years were demoted to the history of the same state because of the leakage of the forbidden Chinese secret language, and a year later, Wang Qi, who was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stopped every two years, and this time he wrote to the emperor again to ask for improved political treatment.

He said: "Officials above the third rank have to get out of the car and stand on the side of the road when they meet the prince, which is not in line with etiquette. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Shimin was very unhappy and said: "You are casually self-respecting, and you don't want to salute when you see the prince, you are despising my son." ”

Wang Qi is seeking to improve the political treatment of civil officials, especially for those who can be ranked as ministers above the third grade, so he naturally has the support of civil officials, so Wei Zheng came out to assist Wang Qi.

Tejin Wei Zheng said: "The princes' status is tied to the three dukes, and now the ministers above the third rank are all Jiuqing and Bazao, and it is really inappropriate to salute the princes when they get off the sedan chair." ”

Lao Wei's words are a bit strong, yes, that's right, according to the grade of the Tang Dynasty officials, the three grades are Guanglu / Weiwei / Zongzheng / Taifu / Dali / Honglu / Sinong / Taifu Qing These eight qing, Taichang Qing is a little higher is the three products.

To be calculated according to the ancient system of ancient rites, it is true that the three products are Jiuqing, but the three princes of the Tang Dynasty are Sima Situ or Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, whether it is calculated according to the definition of the three princes in the Zhou Rite or the Book of Rites, the three princes are the existence of one product.

These three dukes and Jiuqing are several levels apart, how can they be compared. Another one, although the three dukes of the Tang Dynasty have been established, but no one has been sealed, and those who can be sealed are the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, and the prince and the prince, and these three are not the three dukes, they are one level worse than the three dukes. The three princes are against the emperor, but the three princes and the prince are the princes, and they can't be discussed together.

Therefore, it is completely a strong word to use the prince of Guli and the three princes in the present.

The prince is the existence of the first grade, and whether it is the prince of the county or the prince of the country, it is the existence of the first grade, the first level, why do you want the prince and your courtiers to treat each other equally.

If you want to say Wang Jue, Wei Zheng doesn't believe this fool if they don't understand it, but they play it like this, it's nothing more than that the civil officials don't want to continue to be pressed by the princes, even if the princes can suppress them in terms of identity and let them salute first, the civil officials are unwilling.

If you want to improve your right to speak, the first thing you have to do is to improve your political treatment, which is just like the officialdom of later generations, even if you have not been promoted to the department level, but you can enjoy the treatment of the department level is also a big progress, with this treatment, it is much easier to go to the department level again, at least many times it should be the turn of the platoon.

Therefore, Wang Qi suggested that Wei Zheng help him, in order to let himself enjoy equal political treatment with the princes first, at least he could not salute the princes when they met.

Because if the minister sees the prince and wants to salute, then when facing the prince, he will not speak hard, but if everyone is on an equal footing, then when there is a conflict with the prince, he can not fall into the right words to scold.

Li Shimin is unwilling to let his son not even have this privilege and face, because a courtier is a courtier, how can you, as a courtier, be on an equal footing with the prince of Tianhuang and nobles, doesn't it seem that my son is too faceless and has no identity?

Li Shimin glanced at Wang Qi and Wei Zheng indifferently and said: "Say: "The length of human life is unpredictable, in case the prince dies early in the unfortunate future, who can know which emperor will not be your monarch one day?" How can they be despised indispensed? ”

Wei Zheng replied: "Since the Zhou Dynasty, they have been inherited from generation to generation, and no brothers have been appointed to the throne, this is to prevent concubines from coveting the throne and plugging the root cause of trouble, which is what those who govern the country should take as a warning."

In front of Wang Jue, when Wei Zheng scolded the emperor together, Wu Yuanqing drilled in the back and had nothing to do with himself, eating and having fun, anyway, they fought for political treatment and Wu Yuanqing had nothing to do with it, and Wu Yuanqing didn't say that he met Li Tai and Li Zhi, so he saw Li Chengqian and never went down to serve aside. Besides, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the emperor gives a banquet to eat and drink, so why do you care so much.

Originally, he felt that it had nothing to do with him, but after hearing the last sentence of the dialogue between the emperor and Wei Zheng, Wu Yuanqing felt that some words were uncomfortable without saying anything.

Because what Li Shimin said was really fulfilled in the original history, of course, it was not because the prince unfortunately died early, but it was almost the same, the prince was not virtuous and might as well die early.

Because of the competition of his brother Li Tai and his Lao Tzu's connivance with his younger brother Li Tai, Li Chengqian fell to the back, and even rebelled, although he was not cut down in the end, he was also demoted to a concubine. The last to inherit the throne was Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

So Li Shimin's worries are not unreasonable.
