Chapter 431: Agreed
Yesterday, Li Shimin had already agreed with the waste, asking him to come to the court today, after all, although the matter was delayed by yesterday's changes, it does not mean that this matter is over. And the waste, which is the protagonist of this incident, of course, cannot be absent, otherwise, this thing will not be able to be done.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in this Chang'an City, although the business in the store is still very hot, but there is no need to waste staring there all day. The clerks have become familiar with their respective jobs in the past few days, and the account room was specially sent by Cui Yingying, so they can rest assured.
If it were the same as before, Li Feng liked to sleep lazy. However, since he came to this Datang, he has been accustomed to getting up early every day. No way, this body seems to have extremely small requirements for sleep, and this biological clock is extremely accurate, when the time comes, he will wake up, and he will never be able to sleep again, so Li Feng can't sleep if he wants to.
There is also a Rou Niang, who is used to being diligent and thrifty, and she has not slept lazy, no matter what happens every day, whether it is sunny or cloudy or rainy, she gets up early. In this way, even if Li Feng wants to sleep lazy, he is not bored to fall asleep alone.
"It seems that these officials are also hard, and it is really difficult for them to go to work so early every day."
The genius was slightly bright, and Li Feng rode a horse on the street that was still very dim, because the time was still relatively early, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, which was in stark contrast to the scene of busy traffic in the daytime.
It's five o'clock now, and it's winter, and the nights are long and the days are short. This can't help but make Li Feng think of those officials who go to the court every day, it is really difficult for them to get up so early on a cold day.
However, there is no way. This is the time when the morning dynasty is held, and it is not possible to do it early. This is still because it is winter, the emperor in order to take care of everyone, so he postponed the time of the dynasty a little, if it is in the summer, now at this time, the early dynasty has already begun. Those officials who live far away have to get up even after the third watch. This is one of the main reasons why most of the officials live near the palace.
"Hehe, this ancient emperor. That doesn't have the potential to peel the skin that week."
Thinking of getting up in the middle of the night to go to court, Li Feng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, which was a little too ruthless.
Originally, Li Feng thought that he had come earlier, but when he arrived at the gate of the palace on horseback, he found that there were many people who came earlier than him. At the gate of the palace, there was already a large group of people there to say this.
Li Feng was still worried about where to put this horse, but when he got off the horse, a person dressed as a guard came over and respectfully took the reins. After Li Feng's inquiry, he learned that they were specifically responsible for taking care of the horses.
Speaking of this Tang Dynasty, basically people who come to the early dynasty, as long as it is not a rainy day. They all rode their own horses to the court. Even if the weather is more bad, it is just a horse-drawn carriage. The sedan chair was not popular at this time. Therefore, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, it is all on horseback.
Of course. The reason for this is also inseparable from the martial style of the Tang Dynasty. In order to motivate people to be martial, Li Shimin even stipulated that military generals should wear weapons when they go to court. This horseback riding is of course one of the measures.
"Lao Cheng. Morning"
After getting off the horse, Li Feng also walked towards the palace gate. From afar, he saw Cheng Yanjin, who was talking and laughing there, so he went directly to say hello. There is no way, for the officials in the court, there are only a handful of people he knows.
"Ahh
Cheng Yanjin was stunned by the sudden sound of Lao Cheng, and after turning his head, he saw that it was Li Feng, so he quickly said to Li Feng very enthusiastically. He didn't expect that Li Feng would also come to the morning court today.
At this time, the people around also discovered Li Feng's arrival, and suddenly, they all looked at Li Feng's side, and soon, there was a little surprise in everyone's eyes. Then, they all turned their heads away. It's just that in this way, there is no one to talk about anymore. They all stood there, not knowing what they were thinking.
The scene fell silent all of a sudden, which made Li Feng feel depressed for a while. I thought, it's hard to do it, we really don't let people see it. Cheng Yanjin, who was on the side, showed an embarrassed smile, and he didn't know what to say.
But fortunately, at this time, the palace gate finally opened slowly, so everyone walked inside.
Entering the Taiji Palace, this time Li Feng didn't need to be reminded, so he walked directly to the position where he stood yesterday, and then like an old monk in a fixed place, he began to close his eyes and recuperate. However, although Li Feng did not open his eyes, he was very keenly aware that there were eyes around him from time to time.
Not long after everyone entered the hall, Li Shimin also arrived. After a period of salutes, the whole hall returned to a sense of tranquility.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, first looked at Li Feng's location, and after seeing that he had indeed arrived as promised, he was finally relieved. To be honest, he was really worried that Li Feng would not come. At that time, this play will not be able to be sung.
First, it is still step-by-step to discuss some daily government affairs. In this regard, Li Feng listened carefully with some curiosity, to be honest, he had come to him many times this morning, but he really didn't know what he was doing this morning. However, after listening to it for a while, I found it boring.
He didn't expect that this was the kind of things that the court was discussing in the early days. There are some, in Li Feng's opinion, that is, some trivial things, but I didn't expect that they would also be brought to the morning to say. It was completely different from what he had imagined. In his opinion, of course, it is right for the court to discuss some major national affairs.
However, Li Feng didn't want to think about it, in ancient times, the state affairs could not be compared with modern society, how could there be so many major things.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue with yesterday's topic. Last night, I thought about it carefully, thinking about it over and over again. But I have some thoughts about this, and today I will take advantage of the early dynasty to talk about my opinion."
Seeing that there was no more government affairs to say, Li Shimin immediately spoke. In fact. The next words should have been said by Li Feng, that is the best, and it can be regarded as Li Feng's own defense, isn't it. However, Li Shimin said it directly, it was not that he didn't know that this was a bit unruly, but there was no way. If Li Feng is allowed to start again, who knows what will happen to his fiery temper. Therefore. After thinking about it, it was better for him to come again.
As for everyone, you know, now the main event begins. So, one by one, they are standing there. Listen attentively.
"Let's talk about this ancestral system first."
Next, Li Shimin started with the topic of the ancestral system, and then began to talk all the way. There are many examples. For example, the system of selecting talents used to be a recommendation system. But now it is the imperial examination system that is more widely used. In short, a lot of bits and pieces.
When everyone listened to it, they had some recollection. At the same time, I sighed in my heart. This emperor is really enough to protect this brave king. The emperor said so much, just to say one thing, that is, this ancestral system is not impossible to change.
But. The emperor was still talking, and of course everyone could only listen carefully. Besides. The examples cited by the emperor are also real, and they cannot refute them.
Therefore, I believe that we should abide by and carry forward good rules and regulations. And if it is a bad one, or an outdated habit that is out of date, then we must spare no effort to correct it."
And what is the standard for judging whether something is good or bad, or right or wrong? I thought that it wasn't me, the emperor, who said it, and in the same way, what Aiqing said didn't count. The country is people-oriented, and water can carry boats and capsize boats, so only the general public, which is what most people say, is counted."
"Therefore, the rights and wrongs of this matter, in my opinion, there is no need to argue in this court, there is no point, we should listen to the voices of the people in the world, let them judge the right and wrong of this matter, what do you think?"
Li Shimin said it directly in one breath according to what he agreed with Li Feng yesterday, and then asked the ministers for their opinions.
Li Feng, like everyone else, looked like he was listening carefully to Li Shimin's holy words. However, he gave Li Shimin a thumbs up in his heart. This eloquence, this thinking, there is really nothing to say, he is simply a genius orator.
Obviously, the ministers below did not expect that Li Shimin would make a surprise move and bring a disaster to the east. So that many officials who had been prepared for a long time were dumbfounded at once. It's like reciting mathematical formulas all night, but I didn't expect to find out that the test was actually Chinese. As uncomfortable as it feels, it hurts.
However, Li Shimin's words were said without leakage, so that those people couldn't find any flaws at all.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, and the affairs of the world should be judged by the people of the world.
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Wei Zheng was the first to stand up and speak. Because, his political views have always been like this, the country is people-oriented. Since this is the case, then many things should be based on public opinion.
"The minister also agrees with His Majesty's opinion, but I don't know how to implement this matter, this matter seems simple, but it is a little difficult to operate."
Seeing that Wei Zheng was the first to come out to support Li Shimin, soon, the ministers began to express their opinions. Of course, they all expressed support. If you don't support it, you can't do it, this has risen to the fundamental strategy of governing the country, and who dares to say that it is wrong.
It is not possible to express unequivocal opposition, of course. However, you can't just let it go, can you? These people have become essence-like characters, and they quickly found the key place. That is, how this thing is implemented.
It is true to listen to the will of the people, but this is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do. It's not going to be door-to-door, let's go and ask for opinions one by one.
Li Shimin had long expected that someone would come out to make trouble, but this was what he wanted most. Doesn't this justifiably lead to the method he said he was going to implement?
But
