CHAPTER XXXV
(On the last day of the week, the request for votes is out!) )
"Oh?"
Pei Du's words made Li Yu extremely surprised, before the establishment of the crown prince, Li Yu thought of the bloody tradition of the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty, he had been in contact with Li Chun for a long time, and felt that Li Chun was cuter than any of his students, and he was afraid that Li Chun, a vigorous and energetic person, would become as timid as his predecessor, and he was slightly cautious, so that he was depressed and had a stroke, and he was also afraid that in the future, Li Chun would form an interest group around him, and he would involuntarily go to his opposite, so he specially educated Li Chun. What he said to Li Chun had been brewing for a long time, and now Pei Du said that it was slightly inappropriate, but from the expression of his expression, it was not appropriate at all. Pei Du is an outstanding talent of this era, and Li Yu is eager to hear what insights Pei Du has.
"Why did Pei Aiqing say that?"
Pei Du Dao:
"The minister is deeply favored by His Majesty, so if he has any doubts in his heart, he will speak for His Majesty. Your Majesty, don't you hear that Lao Tzuyun's 'sharp weapons of the country cannot be shown to others'? Your Majesty cares for the prince and teaches His Royal Highness the way of being a prince. His Royal Highness is benevolent and filial, and naturally keeps it in mind. Your Majesty's words are of course reasonable, but Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, this is from the mouth of Your Majesty, once someone with a heart knows about it, it will inevitably take advantage of it to make waves and deceive fools and fools. Since the son does not have to be inferior to the father in everything, and the prince does not have to be inferior to the emperor in everything. So of course, people with a heart can also say that the emperor is not an ordinary person in everything, so what is the prestige of the emperor? ”
"The people know that the founding of the country is in line with the mandate of heaven, His Majesty is a descendant of Lao Dan, the emperor and Tang Dynasty take Taoism as the state religion, and the country can be described as inheriting the fortune of heaven and obeying the people, even so, the founding of the country for nearly two hundred years, the rebellion is not stopped, and now it is the town of Fangzhen, and there are many acts of disobedience, Your Majesty's Mandate of Heaven is orthodox, but he personally said such words, if the thieves who are not subordinate know about it, spread and collude with each other, then the emperor and Tang are in danger. Therefore, please think twice and be cautious! ”
Pei Du's voice was not excited, and his Shanxi official dialect was very comfortable to hear, but Li Yu was shocked into a cold sweat.
The mistake of subjectivism has been made again!
What Pei Du said is actually propaganda, it is a foolish people, now everyone is promoting that the Li family is the Son of Heaven, and it is to guard the people on behalf of the heavens, even if the feudal towns that do not accept the rule nominally respect the Li family as the emperor, it is orthodox, and it is the divine right of the monarch, so everyone knows that this is the bottom line, and they all abide by this bottom line, no matter how fierce the trouble is, they will not violate this bottom line, but will defend it in the face, and now the emperor himself said the earth-shattering words, and the powerful heart of the domain town is slightly extended, Even the gods that had to be used by the rebels in the past dynasties were exempted, and public opinion immediately turned against Li Tang, or at least Li Xuan, so that the chaos in the world would not be far away.
Is there a kind of Tianzi Ning? The strong soldiers and horses are strong. Li Yu suddenly remembered this famous sentence from Fan Town, and suddenly felt that his neck was cold, and the tragic image of a corpse lying in wait for thousands of miles and bleeding and drifting in front of his eyes appeared. I also think that Li Chun is extremely talented and has a strong understanding, if he feels that he is an eyesore one day, will he also think about this aspect? Thinking that the Li family has always had a tradition of launching a bloody coup, Li Yu's neck became even colder. No wonder the emperor claims to be a lonely person, and even the closest people may use knives against you, the emperor is difficult to do!
A sentence can make people have so many associations, and the emperor is really not easy to be. I want to change the concept of the people of this era, but it is too much out of the times...... For the sake of safety, let's try not to talk about it in the future. As already said, it is still necessary to narrow down the scope of insiders as much as possible and try to get closer to the divine right of the monarch.
Existence is reasonable, Sartre, there is really some Taoism, Li Yu thought.
Li Yu, who had figured it out, said to Pei Du:
"Thanks to Pei Aiqing's reminder, I was reckless. Aiqing is my close minister, and I hope Aiqing will remind me more in the future. ”
"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the minister must fulfill his duties."
The ups and downs of his mood were too great, and there was such a big mistake, Li Yu's mood suddenly deteriorated, and he felt weak, so he waved his hand and let Pei Du retreat.
The next day, Liu Yuxi, a member of the Ministry of Rites, came to Pei Du's house and conveyed the emperor's dictation: Pei Du was loyal to state affairs, played appropriately, and was specially praised.
On the same day, Pei Du wrote a book on the way of the king, and after Li read it, he wrote a big word "good" with a trembling hand, and ordered Pei Du to be rewarded with a police pillow as a reward.
It has always been the standard of Mingjun from the admonition Ruliu, and now it seems that Li Yu is getting closer and closer to Mingjun. Zheng Xiyu soon said that he was ill, so the ministry was managed by the new prime minister Zheng Yuqing, Zheng Yuqing quickly entered the state, and found a serious problem:
Discipline in the evaluation of officials is lax, and the criteria for the evaluation of officials are now very vague and do not meet the requirements of the times.
As a result, Zheng Yuqing immediately wrote a letter requesting the formulation of detailed standards for the evaluation of officials, and Li Yu couldn't help but praise the word "good" again. More than 1,000 years ago, the Tang people already had the consciousness of formulating evaluation standards for civil servants! Several other prime ministers also strongly agreed with Zheng Yuqing's opinion, so Li Yu ordered Zheng Yuqing to be praised and ordered Zheng Yuqing to take the lead in organizing this matter.
On the 10th day of the seventh month, the emperor had already issued an edict to establish Li Chun, the king of Guangling, as the crown prince, and ordered Li Chun's name to be changed to Li Chun. The edict reads:
"The foundation of all nations belongs to Yuanliang; The weight of the main weapon belongs to the eldest son. Therefore, the foundation of the society is consolidated and the state is unified, and the ancient system is also. Guangling Wang Chun, filial piety and gentleness, benevolence and loyalty, generosity to accommodate things, forgiveness and love. Only obey the precepts, and the words are elegant; Emphasis on classics, etiquette must be from the teacher; There is an order to hear, and there is no violation of morality. I have obtained the Zhu Pixu, only if it is a big one, but with the Yongtu, with the construction of the second store, to inherit the temple, to serve the prosperity. Raise the old chapter, and enjoy the classics. It is advisable to be the crown prince, change his name to pure, and still order the secretary to choose a day to prepare a gift book. ”
A while ago, the two camps of Ju Wenzhen and Liu Guangqi attacked each other because the ratio of enemy and friend replacement was too high, so after Li Xuan's edict to establish the crown prince was issued, the two sides had already tacitly suspended, and the officialdom in Chang'an gradually calmed down, and the rewards for Pei Du and Zheng Yuqing made the wait-and-see officials redevote their energy to government affairs. When the big event of canonizing the crown prince comes, behave well, some officials think so.
The festive atmosphere quickly overflowed Chang'an, and despite the hot weather, many important buildings were in high spirits, and the faces of the people were full of smiles.
On July 14th, this day, Wei Gao feasted in Chengdu, Liu Pi, Xue Tao and others wrote poems in the hall, a scene of singing and dancing, Lu Zhen went out of the valley to Hanzhong, ready to cross the Qinling Mountains, and rested in an inn at night, what he didn't know was that in the post station opposite the inn, he lived in the Ministry of Rites who was ordered to inspect Xichuan but had to return "due to illness" Quan Deyu, everyone knows that Quan Shilang has been sick in Shaanxi for more than 20 days. On the opposite side of the Qinling Mountains is Liu Pi's envoy who returned to Chengdu from Chang'an, and further north is Chang'an, and there are a group of envoys in Chang'an City who have been ordered to go to various places.
They were going to report the great matter of the canonization of the crown prince. On the morning of the same day, Li Yu drove to the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace and officially canonized Li Chun - no, it should be called Li Chun - as the crown prince.
