"If you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger, this is a famous saying for the ages. Lao Yao is actually not against war, but just against the reckless use of military force that costs the people and money. Your Majesty is not a great achievement, but he just doesn't want Tang Tianwei to be provoked. All you have to do is find common ground! ”

"How to find common ground while reserving differences?" Li Longji and Yao Chong asked in unison.

"War is a means, not an end, depending on how we use it. I think there are a few things that need to be grasped in a war. First, if you can solve problems with envoys, you will never fight. Second, even if a war is fought, it must focus on deterring the enemy. Third, go to war at the lowest cost. Fourth, since there is a war, it is necessary to beat the enemy so that he will not dare to raise troops for a long time. Only in this way can the war serve the great rule of the world to the greatest extent. ”

"Lantian King, do you mean to put the war under control and achieve the greatest effect at the lowest cost?" Yao Chong asked.

"Exactly!"

"Then I agree."

"Your Majesty, what do you see?" Li Tao asked Li Longji.

"That's good, I agree."

Li Tao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is what I said about seeking common ground while reserving differences. Lao Yao, let's move on to your third one! ”

Yao Chongdao: "Third, in the past, when the heroine was in the court, the eunuchs passed down and handed down, and the power was not small, which was a hidden danger. The minister requested that the eunuchs not be allowed to participate in political affairs in the future. ”

Li Longji said very happily: "Eunuchs participating in politics will bring disaster to the country and the people, I have long wanted to do this!" ”

Yao Chong said again: "Fourth, since the Empress Dowager Zetian came to power, the Wu clan has begun to participate in political affairs. Later, Empress Wei, Princess Anle, and Princess Taiping seized power one after another, and the selection of officials became even more chaotic. The minister requested that from now on, the emperor's relatives should not hold important official positions. Miscellaneous officials of unknown origin, such as oblique officials and foreign officials, will be dismissed. How is it?

Li Longji and Li Tao glanced at each other and laughed.

Yao Chong looked at the two of them inexplicably.

Li Longji told Yao Chong about Li Tao's establishment of the Imperial Club, and then said: "For the people of the royal family, I think Tao'er's method is very good, as for some miscellaneous officials, there are not enough successes and more failures. It's long overdue to remove them! ”

Yao Chong said with emotion: "I just think that it is not good for the imperial court for the imperial relatives to hold important official positions, and I haven't thought of a specific solution yet, but I didn't expect that King Lantian has gone to the front." I think Lantian Wang's method is very good. ”

Li Longji said again: "But there is one sentence I have to say in the front, you can't include Tao'er in those imperial relatives, I will have to borrow from him in the future." ”

Yao Chong smiled: "I was about to mention this to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty said it first." ”

Li Tao hurriedly excused himself and said, "Don't destroy the imperial court system because of me." I'll just wave the flag and shout for you. I don't care if it's official or not. ”

Li Longji said categorically: "This matter is so decided, Tao'er, don't talk about it anymore." Lao Yao, you go on. ”

Yao Chong nodded and said: Fifth, recently, many ministers who are close to their cronies, even if they have violated the law, have been exempted from the crime because of their favor, and the ministers have asked for all ministers to be equal before the law in the future. ”

Li Longji suddenly remembered what Wang Maozhong had done during yesterday's military parade, and he thought for a moment and said, "There is such a thing. It was not what I did before, and I will try my best to do it in the future. ”

looked at Li Longji's sparkling eyes. Yao Chong said again: Sixth, in the past, the clan and relatives competed to pay tribute to the emperor with all kinds of treasures, and this trend spread, and officials at all levels also competed to give gifts to the emperor. Where do the treasures in their hands come from? Isn't it a looting of ordinary people? The minister requested that no additional tribute be collected in addition to the normal taxes.

Li Longji said with a smile: "Without the wealth of the people, how can we talk about peace in the world, I am willing." ”

"Seventh, Emperor Zetian built Fuxian Temple, Emperor Zhongzong built Shengshan Temple, and Emperor Taishang built Jinxian and Yuzhenguan, all of which are great projects that cost the people and money. The minister asked not to build these useless palaces and temples in the future. ”

Li Longji empathized and said: "Every time I see these temples you mention, I also feel shocked, how dare I build them myself?" You can rest assured! ”

"Eighth, the previous dynasties did not respect the ministers, and the ministers asked His Majesty to treat the ministers with courtesy in the future."

"It's supposed to be like this, what's not to do!"

"Ninth, there have been several ministers who have been convicted of admonition before, so who would dare to admonish again! The minister requested that all the ministers in the future could advise the emperor and criticize the current affairs. ”

"I promise that I have the capacity to be tolerant, and as long as I say it right, I will do it! Even if it's wrong, I won't pursue it! ”

"Tenth, does Your Majesty know that the dictatorship of foreign relatives almost brought down the Western Han and Eastern Han regimes? The situation of the Li Tang Dynasty was even worse than that of the Han Dynasty, and the minister asked His Majesty to record the matter of the heroine's power in the history books, so that future generations would always remember it, and never such a thing would happen again! ”

When Li Longji Xuanzong heard Yao Chong's words, tears flowed down, and he sighed: This is exactly what I think is an unforgettable lesson, how can I forget it? ”

Yao Chong saw that Li Longji had approved everything, so he said: "Your Majesty can really agree to these ten requests of the minister, then the world is very lucky!" The minister must do his best to assist His Majesty to create a peaceful and prosperous world, do his best, and die! ”

Yao Chong finally accepted the appointment of prime minister.

"Tao'er, I have already decided here to let Yao Chong be the prime minister. You promised me that the rest is up to you. Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief.

"What does Your Majesty want King Lantian to do?" Yao Chong was puzzled.

Li Longji said whimfully: "Originally, according to my intention, I directly passed over the current prime ministers and summoned you to the court." But Tao Er felt that this would make you too many enemies, and you would not be able to govern in the future, so he volunteered to convince those stubborn fellows. ”

Yao Chong pondered for a moment and said: "King Lantian's idea is right, the court is in turmoil, and those people who are in high positions now are meritorious, if Your Majesty crosses them to summon ministers into the court, it will definitely make them panic, if there are any more twists and turns, the gains outweigh the losses, and the court can no longer withstand the big twists and turns." Just ......"

Yao Chong was suspicious: "It's just that how can King Lantian say that he can move them?" ”

Li Longji said: "I haven't seen anything that Tao'er can't do in these years, and he said that if it can be done, it will definitely be done." ”

Li Tao smiled: "Third uncle, are you an immortal when I am?" Okay, I'll take care of that. Third uncle, Lao Yao, since the business is done, then it is time for me to eat game. ”

"Yes, yes, eat game!" Li Longji stood up and stretched.

Li Tao said to Yao Chong again: "I haven't drunk with Lao Yao for a long time, how about getting drunk today?" ”

Yao Chong said without hesitation: "The old man will accompany you." ”

Li Longji said on the side: "Don't forget, there is still me."
