Li Shimin looked at Shi Bufan retreating and leaving, Li Shimin felt that Shi Bufan was so aggressive for the first time, but at that time, Bufan asked the last sentence, asking Li Shimin if he was worthy of his conscience? Li Shimin couldn't help but think about it, and then he remembered that he had grown up from a young age. Even later, after Li Tang raised his army, he killed countless enemies along the way. Even killed countless people, not to mention the enemy's army, even innocent people were killed a lot by their own soldiers and looted a lot. And when he besieged Luoyang City, many people in Luoyang City starved to death. Even, later, he mutinied and forced his father to abdicate and imprisoned his eldest brother. This is definitely unfilial piety.

Therefore, thinking of the back, Li Shimin inevitably showed a wry smile and said: "How can I be worthy of my conscience?" But is this my fault? Is it my fault? ”

Li Shimin also began to ask the heavens, but obviously no one could give him an answer. If you want to say that Li Shimin has killed so many people, and even many innocent people, is this his fault? It doesn't seem to be all, because this era is also such a rule, and no one can reverse it. Reversing the rules of an era is not something that can be done overnight, let alone by one person. Li Shimin can't do it, the innocent people on the battlefield are the biggest victims, saying that he doesn't hurt the innocent people, in fact, any prince will try his best. But they themselves are "civilized people", but they can't stand those low-level soldiers who don't necessarily think so.

So the rules of war of this era, or the rules of war of this era, are not so civilized. People in this era are still very indifferent to life, and it is only after more than a thousand years that people really attach importance to life and revere life. Don't look at the so-called laws established in this era to protect life, but in fact, the reverence for life in this era is far less than that of more than a thousand years later. Not to mention the aristocracy, even ordinary people.

If such a crime is put on Li Shimin's head, it can be said that it can be said, but if he is completely and completely blamed, it seems that he can't do it, because almost all the generals in the world are like this.

"Well, if you think about it like this, it only adds to your troubles. It's better to be a good gentleman in the future and do more things for the people! Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

Different people have different thoughts in the face of guilt in their hearts, and even more so for an emperor. If an emperor did something wrong, perhaps he would have two options. One is to work hard to do things well, do more good deeds, and practice more benevolent government to benefit the people, which can be regarded as a kind of psychological compensation. Of course, there are also some monarchs who will break the jar and break it, and choose to continue to be greedy for pleasure, and continue to be a faint king, just like I will be flooded after I die. Different monarchs have different ideas, depending on their life experiences, and this can have two extreme consequences.

Li Shimin took this document given by Shi Bufan, and then called several of his important advisers again. Li Shimin gave this extraordinary suggestion to Fang Xuanling and the other strategists to take a look.

"What do you think of this bank's thoughts?" Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling saw this document, but looked at the signature on the back, and was immediately surprised that this was actually an extraordinary signature. Fang Xuanling was a little hesitant, and then he didn't know how to describe the idea of this money bank. Because the most specific reason is that Fang Xuanling can't figure out what Li Shimin is thinking, because Shi Bufan took in Li Jiancheng's daughter, so this behavior makes Li Shimin very unhappy. But now there is a document handed over to Li Shimin, and now Li Shimin lets himself evaluate, he doesn't know what Li Shimin thinks, so it's not good to evaluate. He didn't know what this meant, did Li Shimin forgive Shi Bufan? This Fang Xuanling didn't know, he didn't know how to evaluate it.

However, Du Ruhui really has the ability to "break", and he is very decisive in his evaluation.

"Good, great! I never thought that there would be such a way to analyze the word 'money' so thoroughly. And the money is spent, how it is spent, how it will be spent, and how to spend it well are all vividly written. This simply tells us the true meaning of 'money' and the essence of money itself. And with good money, people can recover faster. And after reading this extraordinary suggestion, I realized that saving more money is not necessarily a good thing for the imperial court, but it will spend money and spend it well, which may be more important than saving money. And he still deduced a bunch of methods behind the money bank to the data. In this way, if he follows this inference, the speed of my Datang's recovery in three or two years is enough to reach the past ten years. Maybe even in the future, the peak will get faster and faster, and it may be able to recover for forty or fifty years or even more in more than ten years. If it's thirty or forty years, maybe it's been more than a hundred years. In this way, it will really spend money, and if you spend the money to the point and use it in the right place, it is not only not a waste, but it is creating more wealth. Therefore, this Shi Bufan is really a great talent, an economic talent! Du Ruhui replied.

Li Shimin also replied: "Yes, he is a talent who has been used by the world!" ”

The word "economy" was not coined by later generations, and there was also a saying for "economic talent" in ancient times. However, this economic talent in ancient times is not the same thing as the economic talent of later generations. In ancient times, economic talents referred to those who had real knowledge, could govern well, and made the country develop. However, the economic talents of later generations especially refer to those who study the economy or engage in industries related to economics, and the scope of economic talents in later generations is much narrower, but the economic talents of ancient times refer to very useful, and it is the top governing talents who have this qualification to be called economic talents.

Fang Xuanling saw Du Ruhui say this, and it was not good to continue to pretend garlic, so he said directly: "Prince, in terms of governing people's livelihood, I am ashamed of myself!" ”

Fang Xuanling still belongs to the duck's mouth, and the meat is rotten and the mouth is not rotten. He just said that it was not as good as the times in terms of governing people's livelihood, but he intentionally or unintentionally ignored other aspects. He intentionally or unintentionally told Li Shimin that Shi Bufan's main ability is in governing the people's livelihood, but governing the country is not all about governing the people's livelihood. Although people's livelihood is the foundation, governing the country is far more than just people's livelihood, and a series of things such as education, military, diplomacy, etc. are also necessary for governing the country, and it is not something that can be summarized by people's livelihood. Therefore, Fang Xuanling is actually a little suspicious of stealing the concept, he intentionally or unintentionally picks on this aspect of governing people's livelihood, and deliberately ignores Shi Bufan's ability in other aspects, so as to prove that his old house is only inferior to Shi Bufan in terms of governing people's livelihood, but Fang Xuanling will not admit that he is not as good as Shi Bufan in other aspects.

"In that case, can it be reused? Can he be admitted to the government hall in the future? Li Shimin asked.

During the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister system was a committee system, and anyone who could enter the political hall could be called the prime minister. At this stage, those who are qualified to enter the political hall for deliberation are the governors of the three provinces and some other emperors, so Li Shimin asked if he could enter the political hall, that is, he asked if Shi Bufan could be the prime minister in the future.

When Fang Xuanling heard this, he immediately made an excuse and said: "Prince, it's not appropriate, after all, this Shi Bufan once betrayed the prince." And he's not a warrior! ”

Fang Xuanling's reason is grandiose, if it is the first reason, it may still be justified, but the second reason is very absurd. said that Shi Bufan is not a scholar, so he cannot be the prime minister. This era is also the world of the scholar clan, and other Hanmen Shu clans have just begun to rise. Although the scholars have gone downhill, they have just begun to decline after their heyday, and they have not fallen to the lowest point. Therefore, Fang Xuanling is not a scholar at the time, and the reason is extremely righteous and eloquent, as if Tianli is what it is.

However, Fang Xuanling didn't notice that when Li Shimin heard this, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.

"Fang Xuanling, it seems that I poked your sore spot? I want to reuse the cold door, and you really want to be on guard. After all, you are still a member of the Shandong Shi clan, and you don't want the cold family to start being promoted. However, who am I going to use, and you as a courtier can stop it casually? Besides, I wish I could get a few poor people to come out? Since this time is just around the corner, then I won't let go of support. Li Shimin thought.

Sometimes, under different identities and circumstances, we look at things from different perspectives, resulting in different results. The so-called horizontal view is the peak on the side of the ridge, and the distance and height are different, which is also the truth. At that time, Li Shimin had just finished seizing the crown prince, and Shi Bufan took in Li Jiancheng's daughter, which was a betrayal for Li Shimin, so Li Shimin was very unhappy.

However, now Fang Xuanling has begun to crowd out the poor officials, so that Li Shimin finds that his identity has changed. Li Shimin is about to become emperor, and becoming an emperor does not mean that the political game has begun to end. Maybe before helping Li Shimin win the succession, it was the "entrepreneurship" stage that belonged to the strategists and generals under Li Shimin, so the entrepreneurial stage must be very united. But now Li Shimin will be the emperor in two days, and everyone has officially entered the stage of "sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils". However, how to divide this "spoils" is also exquisite. Fang Xuanling represents the Shandong Shi clan, and Du Ruhui represents the Guanlong Group to a certain extent, and these two are currently the largest gate valve forces.

Therefore, they had almost booked the two most important positions on the left and right of Shangshu Province, and the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Shi Clan must each have a position. It's a pity that there are many people in Guanlong Group who can choose at present, one is the eldest grandson Wuji, and the other is Du Ruhui. However, the eldest grandson Wuji is a relative, and it is very fatal for a relative to interfere in politics, so Li Shimin is also a little worried. Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji is not optional, and the one who can do it is Du Ruhui.

However, as a king, especially a king whose purpose is to make a difference, he naturally does not want to be constrained by his courtiers. At that time, Li Yuan didn't want to be constrained by his son, and now Li Shimin doesn't want to be constrained by the Shandong Shi clan and the Guanlong Group.

Identity determines the position, if Li Shimin is only a prince waiting to take the heir, then maybe he is very eager to get the help of the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Shi clan, so he chooses to cooperate with them. However, on the other hand, once he really sat on the throne, then his thinking was different. On the contrary, he thought that the Guanlong Group was hindering him, which made him very unhappy. So now Li Shimin plans to support the rise of poor talents, which is why the imperial examination system became more and more popular and the imperial examination system became more and more perfect. No emperor wanted to be constrained by the scholars and be controlled by those scholars, so they selected talents from the Hanmen Shu clan through the imperial examination and let them enter the officialdom.

After entering the officialdom and entering the "state apparatus" of the government, then they will definitely fight for the "state apparatus". The Hanmen Shu clan does not have a huge family background, and it is not like the Shi clan who are a huge force that combines political lords, warlords, academic lords, and chaebols. Therefore, the Han clan is far easier to control than the Shi clan, so Li Shimin hopes to be able to squeeze out the Shi clan through the Han family.

"This is extraordinary, and it can still be reused!" Li Shimin thought.

If it is said that as a prince who has taken over the heir, then for Li Shimin, it means betrayal. But now, as an emperor, he also hopes to support Shi Bufan to let him go to the Shi clan to spray. Therefore, at this moment, because of the difference in identity and position, Li Shimin also has a different view of Shi Bufan. Now Li Shimin's enemy and potential enemy are the Shi clan, and he is no longer his eldest brother. Therefore, Shi Bufan took in Li Jiancheng's daughter, which may not be unacceptable.

No matter how Li Jiancheng is, it belongs to the past tense, if he is entangled with an enemy who has been defeated so much, then Li Shimin will not be able to have today's performance. So now Li Shimin also thinks that although Shi Bufan took in Li Jiancheng's daughter at that time, the current situation has changed, and it is no longer the process of seizing the heir in the past. So the situation has changed, Li Shimin's identity and thinking have also changed, and his views on Shi Bufan have also changed. Especially in the face of Fang Xuanling, the representative of the Shandong scholars, it is even more firm that Li Shimin wants to reuse and improve the status of the Han family, and gradually use the Han family to expel those scholars.

After the Three Kingdoms, it is actually nothing more than a history of struggle between the monarch, the scholars, and the Hanmen who love and kill each other. The monarch relied on the nobles to ascend to the throne, but after ascending to the throne, he tried to restrain the nobles in the same way. The scholars are attached to the imperial power, but they also hope to be able to grasp greater power, even to overthrow the emperor, and then use the state apparatus to fight and suppress the Hanmen.

As for the Hanmen, the way up is almost blocked, and their power is not very strong. Under the selection system of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, they can't rise too high. Of course, only a very small number of humble people make it to the top. However, at that time, the phenomenon was not a universal way.

However, the first Hanmen emperor of the Southern Dynasty was Liu Yu, the founding emperor of Liu Song, but this Liu Yu also adopted the strategy of attacking the Shi clan, and even suppressed the land annexation of the Shi clan, and dismissed and killed the officials of the Shi clan through various means. It can be said that this is the stage when the monarch, the scholars, and the poor love and kill each other, until the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's thinking has changed now, so he really sat on this throne, and he no longer thinks that the scholars are the people who help him, or even potential enemies, enemies that threaten the imperial power. Therefore, he plans to reuse the cold door, and the first thing is to reuse Shi Bufan. Although Shi Bufan took in Li Jiancheng's daughter, but in the current situation, coupled with the fact that Shi Bufan really has such an "economic talent", it may not be an unforgivable sin, so Li Shimin also has an idea and thinks that it is not unforgivable.

Li Shimin returned to the dormitory, and then took off his clothes.

"Your Majesty, it's autumn now, do you want to prepare some autumn clothes for you? Autumn is getting a little colder, so does the emperor want to add some clothes? A chamberlain came over and asked.

Li Shimin thought about it and suddenly had an idea.
