Chapter 065: Cocooning Yourself
Before the Sui Dynasty, the way to select talents was the inspection system, and there were only two ways for talented Hanmen children to be reused by the emperor: the first was to have their own talent against the sky, like Sima Xiangru in the Han Wu period, others were in Bashu, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an knew his fame and was eventually reused; And the second method is to attach to the family, become a protégé and vassal of the family, and then, ask the family to recommend to the imperial court, he will be reused, and will give back to the family he is attached to, all centered on the interests of the family, in the end, the influence of the family is getting bigger and bigger, even big enough to affect the status of the national policy, even the emperor has to compromise, the Yuan family in the late Han Dynasty is a typical example, which is also the fundamental reason why Li Shimin has not had a good impression of the family.

And now the children of the poor family do not need to become vassals of the family, and they do not need to act according to the eyes of the family, they can show their talents in various assessments, and they can realize their ideals in various fields.
As a planner, Qin Feng is the one who directly gave them hope, such kindness, in the eyes of people who are sincere in learning and real materials, it is tantamount to the grace of recreation.
Qin Feng, who came from a society where materialism was rampant and preached the uselessness of reading, naturally couldn't understand the feeling of being poor and having a hundred industries. But this kindness, Qin Feng, who was walking on the street, felt it, and the people who knew him stepped forward to say hello one after another, and some words were not clearly said, but the emotions revealed in the other party's eyes made him feel something else.
Of course, it was also because of Li Shimin's casual remarks that Qin Feng was pushed to the opposite side of the family, and he suddenly rushed to the tip of the knife, becoming a thorn in the side of the family. But is Qin Feng afraid? The answer is definitely no, because he knows that the family will not be able to jump for a few years. The last madness will only destroy you, and if you do things under a powerful emperor, as long as you do the right thing, he will help you eliminate all intrigues.
Li Shimin is undoubtedly a strong emperor, and the enemy is stronger.
The sensation alongside Kaike is the assassination of Qin Feng, while Qin Feng has become a benefactor admired by everyone, public opinion has pushed Changsun Chong to the opposite side of the world, no way, Qin Feng's words in the court are full of loopholes, there is no shortage of clear-eyed people in the world, and the truth and falsehood can be seen at a glance.
The tide of public opinion has torn apart the calm of hypocrisy, and suddenly erupted with earth-shattering power, Changsun Chong and Changsun Wuji suddenly became the objects of hatred by everyone, and even, the servants of the Changsun family went to buy vegetables, and they were all blown away by the vegetable sellers.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were also implicated, and there were people complaining and indignant about Li Shimin's various wrongs.
And Li Shimin is not the kind of king who is willing to stay in the palace for the rest of his life, he is narcissistic to death, and he will leave the palace once in a while when he is free. He had only one purpose when he left the palace, to see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, to see how rich the people under his rule were, to listen to the heartfelt support of the people, and to satisfy that little vanity.
On this day, I was busy with state affairs.
Li Shimin dressed up in disguise and led several guards to observe the people's feelings and opinions.
At noon, I arrived at the restaurant where I met Qin Feng last time, because of Qin Feng's "Manjianghong" of dragon flying and phoenix dance, the business of the restaurant was quite prosperous, and the diners were mainly literati and ink writers.
In the past, the first floor was the habitat of the peddlers, pawns and merchants, but now, the shopkeeper has turned it into a meeting place for literati and artists, and the people in the lower ranks are on the rise, and the changes are ironic.
Li Shimin, who claimed to be a literati among the emperors in his life, followed the customs of the locals, and finally spent a lot of money to occupy Qin Feng's table that day.
The simple Li Shimin ordered a pot of wine, accompanied by eight side dishes, a bowl of vegetarian soup, and sat at a table with a few guards, listening to the interesting chatter of the pawns from all over the world, drinking and listening.
At this time, the topic of discussion among businessmen from all over the world was nothing more than the matter of "opening a branch to recruit talents", and they all praised Qin Feng's kindness and Li Shimin's greatness.
Li Shimin is also a strange man of a generation, and he drinks with his words. As the saying goes, if the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and the stomach is already red and drunk after half a pot.
Li Shimin, who seemed to be drunk but not drunk, was listening energetically, and suddenly, some discordant voices began to rise.
A man dressed as a scholar from a humble family: "The emperor is wise and martial, and it is true that Mr. Qin is talented and broad-minded, but it is really disappointing that the emperor cares about family affection and disregards national law." Mr. Qin's mind to complain with virtue makes people have to admire. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? What a good person Mr. Qin is, both civil and military, talented, or the future concubine of Princess Changle, and also the emperor's half-son, Zhao Guogong is not allowed to talk about family affection, but after Mr. Qin was assassinated, the emperor not only did not help Mr. Qin seek justice, but also persecuted with the threat of the emperor, really, it is really ...... Alas! What is it, the scholar who answered the call didn't say anything, but everyone is a smart person, combined with the previous words, everyone knows that he is complaining about Li Shimin's unfairness in life.
"Not long after the world was peaceful, the people's homes were not built, and the Turks were looking at the delay, and the emperor bent the law like this, which was indeed excessive. Alas! I rushed from Bashu with my eyes in a daze, trying to serve the country with what I had done in my life, but such an emperor made me hesitate. ”
Another person was disappointed and said, "It's the same! I thought I had a hope of getting ahead. But the emperor said that one thing and another should be done, alas, the money I worked so hard to accumulate was wasted, so let's go home and farm! Fortunately, seeing Mr. Qin's strong and powerful calligraphy, it was not worth the trip. ”
"In the past, I thought that Fang Yiai and Du He were the worst of the children of the powerful, but comparing them with the eldest grandson, they are hundreds of times better. After all, they have never hurt anyone, and they have only done idleness, and they have never used knives and guns. Easily let go of the eldest grandson Chong who killed people, and there will be thousands of eldest grandsons in the future, at that time, what will this Tang Dynasty use to govern the country, and how can it be convincing? ”
"Don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs. The law or anything is just a restraint used by those in power to bind the common people. Hehe, when have you ever seen an example of severely punishing the children of the powerful? ”
"In the long run, the country will not be a country."
"When the law becomes an ornament, the world will be in chaos."
"It's hard to settle down, and then you're going to leave your homeland?"
……
The politics of the Tang Dynasty are clear, and the people discuss state affairs regardless of their crimes. Therefore, these people were not afraid, they were filled with righteous indignation, and the people in the store were also upset about Qin Feng when they heard it, and loudly said that the eldest grandson and father were not, as for talking about Li Shimin, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and they just stopped at the point.
But despite this, Li Shimin's face was still hot.
The wine also woke up, and the table full of food could not arouse his appetite. He was already angry, he was not angry with these people, but angry at the unproductive eldest grandson Chong, he thought that the matter would end here, but he never imagined that the matter would be so popular among the people, and all kinds of accusations were beyond his expectations! He himself also had a thought in his heart that "if you don't kill Changsun Chong, you won't be able to be angry with the people, and you won't be able to govern the country according to law."
Although Li Shimin was sitting on pins and needles, he still forced his anger and listened carefully. In the end, it is like the bottom of the pot.
I don't know what to say.
After staying for less than two moments, he led the guards to run back to the palace with a gloomy face. What he feared the most was still happening, and everything was developing towards what Wei Zheng said that day. On the one hand, there is national law, and on the other hand, family affection, the wise and martial Li Shimin suddenly fell into a dilemma.
"As soon as this wind opens, how will the country be governed according to law in the future?"
"In the long run, the country will not be a country."
"When the law becomes an ornament, the world will be in chaos."
"It's hard to settle down, and then you're going to leave your homeland?"
……
Wei Zheng's words and the remarks in the restaurant kept replaying in Li Shimin's mind, and Li Shimin shuddered when he thought of these people's words.
"What should I do?" Li Shimin's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't stop asking and introspecting himself!
Just as Qin Feng expected, various public opinion storms made Li Shimin anxious and unable to deal with it.
Suppression is not suppressed.
If you want to regain the people's confidence in Li Shimin, the only way is to retry the case of Qin Feng's assassination and behead the eldest grandson Chong to make the people angry.
But, can the eldest grandson Chong be killed?
Not to mention the loyal eldest grandson Wuji, I'm afraid that the eldest grandson queen will not be able to pass this hurdle.
For this beloved wife who shares weal and woe, he really doesn't want her to suffer the pain of cannibalism again.
However, what can you do if you don't kill Sun Chong?
To kill, or not to kill.
Li Shimin hesitated, without a clue.
Qin Qiong, Mrs. Qin, and Qin Zhan, who had been paying close attention to the development of the situation, were not only satisfied, but also shocked by Qin Feng's plan, just because everything was developing towards what Qin Feng said that day. And the next day, under the instruction of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Chong came to take the guilt of Jing and came to one
The gorgeous reversal successfully resolved this sensational assassination incident that caused a sensation across the country, but although the eldest grandson Chong saved his life, he could not make a difference in the officialdom, even if he inherited the title of the eldest grandson Wuji, I am afraid that he would not reach the peak of the court.
