The hall is a little cramped, no wonder Li Shimin has always wanted to change to the Taiji Palace.

The two of them spoke very crisply and neatly, without so many twists and turns.

Helping Li Shimin do things, for Luo Xuanye, there is no problem, and it is indeed unreasonable for the Emperor Taishang to stay in the Taiji Palace.

Such a large palace group is to deal with the government affairs, and now there are only Li Yuan and the palace maids and some concubines, Li Yuan drinks and enjoys there every day, or gives Li Shimin a group of younger brothers and sisters.

These younger brothers and sisters will be crowned kings and princesses in the future, and they will also give them food, which makes Li Shimin feel a headache just thinking about it.

Occupying such an important place, it is appropriate not to do serious things and make room for Li Shimin.

It's just that this is the Emperor Taishang after all, and Luo Xuanye also called him father-in-law and father for more than ten years.

Luo Xuanye was not cold in front of Li Shimin, he sighed slowly: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Taishang, he is his father after all, even if he is allowed to leave the Taiji Palace, he will not let him go to the West Palace.

It was hot and humid in the summer, and cold in the winter, and he was very old, and it was a sin to stay there.

In this way, some people may accuse Your Majesty of not being filial.

The minister thought about it, it is better to build a separate garden for the emperor, and you can see some mountains and rivers, which is better than the land of the West Palace.

The Emperor likes to drink and have fun, and he likes to hunt, and this still keeps His Majesty and the Emperor Far away.

Although the Emperor Taishang made mistakes before, he still had to let the Emperor spend his old age in peace. ”

Li Yuan is still very good to Luo Xuanye, and as for the late Wude period, even Li Shimin is already like that.

Li Yuan also gave Luo Xuanye the position of King of Lingnan and let him leave Chang'an with dignity, according to Li Yuan's habit of killing people at every turn, this is already good.

If it weren't for Li Shimin's need to take the throne, and Li Yuan was too partial to Li Jiancheng, Luo Xuanye would not have participated in the action against Li Yuan in the first place.

Moreover, the key point is that the eldest princess of Pingyang has always been concerned about Li Yuan.

Luo Xuanye has seen his wife crying secretly many times, but the eldest princess of Pingyang can't tell Li Shimin.

It can only be said by Luo Xuanye now.

If someone else had said so, Li Shimin would have laughed and then remained silent.

But Luo Xuanye rarely asked for anything, Li Shimin groaned slightly, although there were still pimples in his heart, but he still sighed and said: "Just according to what you said in Qingyang, let my father and emperor take refuge in the palace."

However, the matter of hunting will be discussed later, and no one can be allowed to contact the emperor casually, so as not to be bewitched by treacherous people. ”

Now Li Shimin has not been able to completely empty Li Yuan's influence, and it is not yet possible for Li Yuan to re-contact the old people.

Otherwise, something bad may happen at that time.

Luo Xuanye knew that this was already quite difficult, so when he heard this, he gave up his hand and retreated, leaving Li Shimin to sit alone in the hall.

The curtains in the hall were half hanging, and the sunlight outside the hall could not all shine in, even if it was noon, the light crossed the threshold, and it could only fall in front of Li Shimin's feet.

The bright light makes the darkness appear even darker.

After Luo Xuanye left, this palace suddenly seemed a little empty, or maybe Li Shimin's heart was a little empty, and Li Shimin was quite lonely and depressed in it.

The eldest grandson walked out of the apse and came to Li Shimin's side, and as soon as she saw Li Shimin's state, she knew that he was a little sad again.

She didn't speak, but stepped forward and hugged Li Shimin gently, just like in the years of the Qin Palace.

Li Shimin was silent, and then lay on the lap of the eldest grandson.

There was something surging in his chest, and he couldn't wait to build up some achievements, and then let Li Yuan take a look and tell him how wrong his choice was in the first place.

……

Luo Xuanye hurriedly returned to the princess's mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw his eldest son Luo Juncheng dancing with a horse lance, splitting in the air, with bursts of whipping sounds, and the tiger was vigorous, although he was only more than ten years old, he already had a good appearance, it seemed that he had inherited Luo Xuanye's martial arts advantages, he was a little curious and asked: "Juncheng, why don't you go to the academy to practice martial arts?" ”

Before the words fell, a little girl of about six or seven years old ran out of the hall, wearing a gorgeous splendid palace dress, her face was like a bright moon, her small nose bridge was straight and beautiful, her cherry lips were full and ruddy, her baby teeth were fine when she laughed, like pearls inlaid in coral, her skin was delicate and fair, her big eyes were like autumn water and smoke, her eyelashes were fanning like butterflies flapping her wings, she was very smart, and her black and bright hair fell on her waist like a waterfall.

She walked out of the hall with a cup of herbal tea in her hands and a childish smile on her face, "Cousin, drink tea."

Hey.

My uncle came back and saw my uncle, my uncle Wan An. ”

When Luo Xuanye saw it, he immediately smiled, no wonder his son was practicing these flowers in the front yard, it turned out that Princess Changle was here, "The princess came by herself?" ”

Changle Princess Li Lizhen, Li Shimin's eldest daughter, because she was born to the queen's eldest grandson, was especially favored by Li Shimin.

As early as not long after she was born, she promised her to Luo Juncheng, in Li Shimin's opinion, marrying Luo Juncheng can make Li Lizhen happy for the rest of her life.

Although Li Lizhi is young, but with the guidance of the queen's eldest grandson, she is quite decent and generous, at this moment Luo Xuanye asked, she handed the herbal tea in her hand to Luo Xuanye, while standing beside Luo Juncheng, with a little childishness: "Uncle Hui, it was the palace people who brought me here." ”

Luo Xuanye smiled when he heard this: "In the future, the princess will go out of the palace less, after all, it is not safe outside, if you miss your aunt, hand over the letter, and let your aunt take Jun Cheng to the palace to see you when the time comes."

You guys play, Uncle still has some business. ”

Luo Jun made a move, Li Li was blessed, Luo Xuanye smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "In a few years, it is time to ask the ancestor of Suwang to give a holy marriage, otherwise you can't get married." ”

Li Xiuning and Li Shimin are sisters and brothers of the same father and mother, Luo Juncheng and Li Lizhen are cousins, and if they do not ask for a holy marriage, they cannot get married.

The purpose of the blessing of the Holy Marriage is to remove the adverse consequences of genetic diseases caused by the marriage of close relatives.

In fact, Luo Juncheng and Li Lizhen do not need a holy marriage, because Luo Juncheng is a descendant of the Luo family blessed by their ancestors.

In the thousands of years since the ancestors blessed the family, the baby has never died of illness, and only when he is an adult, he will get sick.

Luo Juncheng's child is unlikely to have genetic diseases and other things.

The ancestral blessing is not only a talent support mechanism, there are many real effects, and they are all very important, so many luck points are not in vain.

After the ancestors blessed and withdrew, the heads of the Luo family were all medical saints, just to try their best to prevent the infant from dying, but in the past few hundred years, there are still many descendants who have died young, after all, Winterfell is indeed too cold.

Now Luo Xuanye's lineage, because of Luo Xuanye's status, has regained the blessing of the ancestors, but outsiders don't know, so the holy marriage ceremony is still to be held, this is to make an example for others.

……

After Luo Xuanye walked into the hall and informed Li Xiuning of Li Shimin's meaning, Li Xiuning was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Alas, let's enter the palace." ”

Li Xiuning is not a woman who only has family affection in her heart after all, she is also a person with the blood of the Li family, and in the face of the current situation, she knows what the best way to deal with it is.

The two returned to the palace together, and Luo Juncheng and Li Lizhen were also taken into the palace by the two.

Entering the Taiji Palace, the two heard Zhang Jieyu losing her temper in the palace, because of Li Yuan's protection, she was not dead, and Li Shimin was too lazy to have a more tense relationship with Li Yuan because of her, but Li Xiuning was immediately a little dissatisfied, walked in in palace clothes, and insinuated: "Who is making noise in the Taiji Palace?" Such rudeness, do you think this is a market? Do you think you're a hawker? ”

Zhang Jieyu just wanted to talk back, but when she saw that it was Li Xiuning and Luo Xuanye, she immediately closed her mouth a little sneeringly, and she didn't see the courtesy, and went to the apse to find Li Yuan.

"The eldest princess of Pingyang and the king of Zhou Jun ask to see you!"

The eunuch's voice was raised high, dragging a long tail note, "Xuan!" ”

Accompanied by Li Yuan's voice, the two walked into the hall, the Taiji Hall was originally the main hall of the palace, and it was a place to discuss political affairs and read the edict, which was brilliant, so Li Shimin had always wanted to move here.

But now the scene Li Xiuning saw is not like this, the appearance may not have changed much, but because of the owner Li Yuan, there seems to be a lingering haze here.

The subtle sunlight shines through the gaps in the halls, sparsely sprinkled in the corners of the courtyard, and the supply here is no longer as abundant as it used to be, so most of the halls are dim, and the huge palace rooms are very silent, and between the flickering candles, the empty halls and corridors are reflected.

The two of them saw Li Yuan, whose beard was slightly scribbled at a glance, and his original majestic and solemn face was engraved with the traces of time, perhaps because of the helplessness of losing power.

Li Xiuning stepped forward, kowtowed in front of Li Yuan, and sobbed: "Father, my daughter has come to see you, you have lost weight." ”

This is quite similar to the title of ordinary people, which touched Li Yuan very much, he stepped forward to help Li Xiuning up, and then stroked her head and said: "Xiuning, you can come to see me, I am very happy, I am very happy, Erlang and San Lang have not been here for a long time." ”

Li Xiuning comforted: "San Lang is guarding outside, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and there are many things, so there must be no time." ”

Li Xiuning and Luo Xuanye sat opposite Li Yuan, talking some gossip, telling Li Yuan about the current situation outside, when they heard that Luo Su also went out of the mountain to help Li Shimin, Li Yuan's already no longer tall body almost collapsed a little more in an instant.

After chatting for a while, Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning stayed in the Taiji Hall for dinner, Luo Xuanye retreated left and right, and finally proposed the purpose of this trip, Li Yuan was immediately shocked and angry: "I can't keep the throne, can't I even keep a palace now?" Why? ”

Luo Xuanye said in a deep voice: "Father, the Taiji Hall is not a palace, if you want a palace, Your Majesty can build you a palace that is more magnificent than the Taiji Palace, the Taiji Hall is a symbol of the empire, it represents the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, represents the right position of Your Majesty, now that you live here, Your Majesty can't face the king in the south, is this what you want to see, Father?" ”

Li Xiuning also advised: "Father, when you reach your current age, aren't you thinking about Chenghuan's knees, and now Your Majesty, San Lang and I are your only children."

Don't you want Jiro to achieve great deeds?

No matter how grand the deeds he has created, this is also the Tang Dynasty, and it is the society you have established.

What is the reason why parents do not think about their children, but they want to fight? ”

Luo Xuanye said again: "Father, you have always loved Pingyang, and you are also benevolent and righteous to your ministers, so all along, although you are in the world of Zhenguan, I and Pingyang have been thinking of you, and half of the treasures and filial piety in this palace are dedicated from the food of the two of us."

If it weren't for the benefit of the country and the world, how could we be here, father, please think about it. ”

One is reasonable, the other is playing the emotional card, this is why Li Shimin came to Luo Xuanye, Li Yuan listened to what Luo Xuanye said, and looked at Li Xiuning's pretty face with teardrops, only to feel sadness.

He could have enjoyed the joy of family, but now it is all ruined, so now that Pingyang is still here, don't let Pingyang also be sad, he sighed and said: "Alas, you go back to Erlang, I agree to move out of the Taiji Palace, let Erlang govern the Tang Dynasty well." ”

"My father was wise and wise."

Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning glanced at each other, and then accompanied Li Yuan to eat, but the atmosphere in the banquet was already a little poor, after the meal, the two were about to leave together, and suddenly Li Yuan's old voice came from behind him, "Xiuning." ”

The two people who had already walked to the threshold in front of the hall paused when they heard this, and turned around together, Li Yuan's old face, under the reflection of the candle flame, actually had a feeling of loneliness, Li Xiuning asked in a low voice: "Father?" ”

Li Yuan's voice was not high, even a little low, "Come and see me." ”

Li Xiuning's body trembled, and he sobbed: "Father, it will, my daughter will come often." ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, Luo Xuanye hurriedly followed out, the two got into the carriage, Li Xiuning asked a little distracted: "Husband, you said that the father ...... the emperor"

Luo Xuanye held her somewhat cold hand, and comforted her gently: "Xiuning, this is already the best result, you can accompany your father and emperor more in the future, the rest of the things are insurmountable, and there may be a chance for the father and son to reconcile in the future." ”

Oh, yes.

Already the best ending.

The two went to the queen first, Li Shimin was also there, Luo Xuanye nodded slightly, a trace of joy flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, the eldest grandson was still gentle, and chuckled: "Changle is a little tired, go to sleep first." ”

Princess Changle is still young, so she is naturally different from Luo Juncheng, who is full of physical strength.

Li Shimin touched Luo Juncheng's head, he was Luo Juncheng's uncle, and he loved his sister's only son very much.

Luo Juncheng was only ten years old, and he was already hung with the martial arts officer on the fourth grade, the loyal general.

Li Shimin is ready to wait for him to marry Li Lizhen, and then transfer him to Qianniuwei to prepare for Qianniu, and when the time is right, let him go out to fight and make meritorious contributions.

"The imperial sister is not very old, she only has one son, it is still a little less, the Luo family lineage is withering, the imperial sister should want another one, now the world is gone, don't worry."

Li Shimin's last sentence was a little sad, because the battle was too fierce, after giving birth to Li Chengqian, Li Lizhen and Li Tai, Li Shimin and Changsun did not have any more children, and now they have plans to have a few more.

Li Xiuning nodded, this is also her plan, now she and Luo Xuanye only have a son and a daughter, this is definitely not enough, Luo Su expands the number of descendants, and multiple main veins are parallel, so that they can have more births, and only by having more lives can they give birth to geniuses.

Luo Xuanye and the others did not stay in the palace anymore, and left with Luo Juncheng.

……

In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin finally sat in the position of his heart, and the princes of the political hall sat in line according to their ranks.

Luo Su didn't want to come.

Luo Su was very clear about his position in the Tang Dynasty, and he only made major political plans.

Now that he has set the general direction for the first few years, he will not participate in specific affairs unless Li Shimin asks.

What he has to do is to determine Datang's next plan, that is, after Wang Daorenzheng has achieved certain results, after the world has recovered somewhat, where should Datang go.

But Li Shimin said that this time he wanted to discuss the matter of the system of three provinces and six ministries, involving the monarch's power and the power of the minister, and Luo Su knew that he could not be absent from his decision.

Li Shimin knew why Luo Su came, and he didn't waste time, so he said directly: "Today, all the secretaries know that they are going to discuss the implementation of the policy, and the national teacher is reluctant to come for such details.

I told the national teacher that we were talking about the three provinces today, so the national teacher came to discuss the Tao, and the ministers listened to it. ”

After that, he asked Luo Su to speak.

Luo Su said eloquently: "Since ancient times, a country can be governed, and the cover is made by the monarch and the minister, and the head of the minister is the prime minister.

The most important political system of a dynasty is the prime minister system, so today the Son of Heaven invited me to talk about the prime minister's system, and I am glad to come.

The state and Zhou before the Qin Dynasty are too different from the current system, so I won't mention it, starting from the Qin Dynasty and continuing to the later Han Dynasty, the prime minister and the prime minister have great power, and almost dominate the country's government affairs, which ensures that while the Son of Heaven does not have enough ability, the prime minister can assist the operation of the state, but the problem is, what if the prime minister also has problems and is not capable?

The Son of Heaven once talked to me about the issue of Emperor Wen of Sui, does the Son of Heaven remember what he said at the beginning? ”

Of course, Li Shimin remembered, and immediately said: "Emperor Wen of Sui decided almost everything, he was very tired, but there were more and more problems, the fall of the Sui Dynasty was of course the fault of Emperor Yang of Sui, but he also made many mistakes in the process of taking charge of the dynasty." ”

This is Li Shimin's evaluation of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, Luo Su recognized very much: "Yang Jian is already a highly qualified monarch, his ability is very strong, but even he will make many mistakes, the more diligent he is, the more mistakes he makes, and in the end, these mistakes may become the culprits of the destruction of the empire."

The Son of Heaven is the smartest and most intelligent and martial artist I have ever seen, and they are all close ministers who have followed the Son of Heaven all the way, has the Son of Heaven made many mistakes over the years? ”

The ministers didn't speak when they heard this, only Wei Zheng said loudly: "Although I have not followed Your Majesty to conquer the world, but since the late period of Wude, in just a few months, the Son of Heaven has made three mistakes. ”

Li Shimin was heartbroken when he heard this, Wei Zheng, I really have you.

Forget it, the one you choose.

Luo Su smiled, Wei Zheng is indeed a talent.

He continued: "One person cannot see the whole picture.

The three-province system divides the power of the prime minister among the people, and all the decrees are repeatedly discussed by the three high-ranking officials.

A group of the wisest of the wisest men, that is, you, have their own wisdom to give their opinions on every decree.

One person can make mistakes, and if a group of people make mistakes, it's a problem that can't be solved.

The Sui Dynasty had a three-province system, but the three-province system was empty, and neither Yang Jian nor Yang Guang attached importance to the three provinces, but the cadres were arbitrary and could not play the role of this system.

Therefore, there is only one principle that Datang should adhere to in the future system, whether it is called the Three Provinces or other names.

Gather the wisdom of many people, not the wisdom of one, to govern the world.

Unless that person has always been right, has always been right, and has never been wrong. ”

What Luo Su said was an encouragement to almost all of the prime ministers in attendance, who had never felt so clearly that their presence, and their place, were indispensable to the Empire.

In the past hundreds of years, with the disappearance of the princes of Jingnan, that sense of ownership has disappeared, and the prime minister has become an instrument of power, and now Luo Su told the monarch and the courtiers that the prime minister and the Son of Heaven are the same to some extent, but the prime minister can be changed, but the Son of Heaven cannot be changed.

Li Shimin is very talented, and as soon as he heard what Luo Su said, he immediately asked: "National Teacher, if this is the case, wouldn't the prime ministers of the three provincial political affairs halls have the same perspective on the world?" ”

Luo Su affirmed Li Shimin's acumen, "That's right, the prime minister of the political hall can have a bad personal relationship, but the concept should be similar."

When the monarch promotes and deposes the prime minister, he should not do it according to his personal preferences.

For example, now that the Tang Dynasty wants to practice royal and benevolent governance, the prime ministers in the political hall must work together, instead of putting those who will undermine the policy. ”

The ministers were thoughtful, and Fang Xuanling asked: "National Teacher, as you just said, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui have turned a blind eye to the three provinces, how can I, Datang, avoid it?" ”

Luo Su replied: "Since ancient times, there has actually been no clear rule on what power the prime minister has.

There is no clear rule as to what powers the Son of Heaven should have.

In theory, the Son of Heaven should have unlimited power, but in reality, it will always cause disaster.

The Son of Heaven once told me about this, so let the Son of Heaven speak for himself. ”

Li Shimin cleared his throat and said solemnly: "I talked with the national teacher some time ago, and I occasionally got something, from today on, the edict of the Son of Heaven is not passed by Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, and it is stamped with the big seal of Zhongshu Menxia, it is regarded as illegal, and the officials below can refuse to carry it out."

I hope that in this way, I can prevent the occurrence of chaos, prevent me from making wrong decisions and causing great harm. ”

There was a commotion in the palace suddenly, Wei Zheng's eyes widened, and a sentence appeared in his heart, Prince Jiancheng, you are not unjustly lost, a person who can take the initiative to regulate the power of the monarch for the sake of the world, why should you fight with him?

What Li Shimin did was very unusual, he was able to make this decision, to be honest, Luo Su was also shocked by it, and he really deserved to be the first saint king he fancied.

If the king really wants to do something, just by virtue of this political convention, the courtiers will naturally not be able to stop it, and no system can prevent people like Yang Guang.

But this system is too helpful for middle and above monarchs.

For example, now Li Shimin is angry and has issued an order, according to the past practice, after the officials receive the edict, do they do it or not?

If you don't do it, you don't respect the will, but if you do, it's obviously a mess.

And now, Li Shimin's edict on the head of the angry head can't pass under the Zhongshu Gate, and after the lower-level Shangshu Province receives the edict, it can say, "Without the Zhongshu Gate, how can it be an edict?" ”

If you haven't passed through Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, what kind of edict is it, this is a chaotic fate.

When Li Shimin's anger is gone, this matter will be regarded as the past, this is the preciousness of this system, which is a kind of restraint on the monarch's power.

The prime ministers check and balance each other, the prime minister and the monarch check and balance each other, a group of people supervise each other, and a group of people complement each other.

Stable and effective.

Even from Luo Su's perspective through the past and the present, he couldn't find a better system for prime ministers.

The prime ministers in the palace were all deeply subdued in front of Li Shimin, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and the ministers have been in the history books several times, but they have never seen it." ”

Li Shimin is very happy, he has always treated people with sincerity, and even wants to give the generals who follow him a hereditary assassination, which is equivalent to dividing the seal of the original bank.

Li Shimin sees power very clearly, and he doesn't have to put it all in his own hands, he only takes what he can control.

If there is redundancy and can't be managed, he will divide it, and he thinks that in this way can the country be governed well.

I have to say that this kind of thinking is very advanced, and Emperor Wen of Sui's behavior of taking all the power in his hands, but in the end he couldn't do it, and made frequent mistakes and finally caused trouble to the people in the world, Li Shimin was quite despised.

Li Shimin saw that all the prime ministers were a little calmer, so he said to Luo Su: "Please ask the national teacher to continue to tell the secretary." ”

Luo Su nodded and said slowly: "Now the Tang Dynasty has three high-ranking officials and officials, including Shangshu Left and Right Servants, Zhongshu Order, and Servants, a total of six people are prime ministers, and they are also prime ministers.

Why there are so many kinds of this, you should know the deep meaning, this is so that you do not miss the great talent in the wilderness.

As the old saying goes, there are four words, political clarity, so what is political clarity?

Did you know?

Let me tell you about it. ”

Luo Su's sudden roll call was a bit like he was suddenly called by his master when he was studying, and Du Ruhui trembled.

Political clarity.

Don't think about it, he said directly: "The so-called political clarity is that the monarch is wise and virtuous, and there are no traitors and villains to offer slander, this is the scene that will appear when the holy king governs the world, and three generations later, when Emperor Han Xiaowen was the emperor, it can be called political clarity." ”

Luo Su was noncommittal when he heard this, and asked again, "Xuanchen, what do you think?" ”

Luo Su nodded Luo Xuanchen's name, and everyone's eyes turned to him, wanting to hear what Luo Shizi thought, but Luo Su himself didn't have much hope for Luo Xuanchen.

After all, Luo Xuanchen's talent is a little far behind that of a top prime minister like Fang Du, Luo Xuanchen's advantage is in knowing people and academics, he is also good at logarithmic, and his personality is majestic and cautious, so he can be used as a logistics officer of the army.

Now it is very suitable to be the secretary of the ministry, preside over the selection of officials, and the assessment of the officials who have advanced in the imperial examination, and if he is really asked to be the prime minister or the second minister, he does not have that ability.

After Luo Xuanchen came out of the ranks, he said loudly: "Political clarity means not worrying about dying of unwarranted disasters, that is, not being convicted because of words, and not being convicted because of unwarranted."

The ministers and hundreds of bureaucrats do not worry all day long, but can concentrate on government affairs and have their own duties, which is political clarity. ”

The angle that Luo Xuanchen said was different from Du Ruhui, more specific and clear, and everyone was amazed when they heard it, thinking that what he said was very reasonable.

Luo Su asked a few more people, basically the same, with Luo Xuanchen's words, the remaining few people roughly described the scene of political clarity in their imagination.

After hearing this, Luo Su suddenly turned his head and asked Li Shimin, "What does the Son of Heaven think?" ”

Li Shimin stroked his beard, and when he heard the third person, he knew that Luo Su was deliberately calling the names of these people and letting them tell them to himself, so he laughed loudly: "I see that what Zhu Qing said just now is very good, and my Datang just wants to do what Zhu Qing said just now." ”

Luo Su nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Do you remember when I said that you have a very rare and rare advantage?" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin quickly rummaged through his memory, "National Teacher, you mean that I am very reasonable?" ”

Luo Su bowed his head and said: "That's right, it's this one, Son of Heaven, you are very reasonable, don't forget this one, this is the foundation of the Holy King's Way."

The politics are clear, the prime ministers have said a lot just now, but in the final analysis, it is actually the king who is reasonable.

Why are there so few times of political clarity?

Why is it that even those who are quite accomplished monarchs always have a sense of chaos in the court?

Because those monarchs, on the surface, have all the power, but the dull political environment secretly makes his energy be consumed.

The monarch is unreasonable, relying on his own preferences to do things, and even killing and killing.

Some of the courtiers were wise to protect themselves, some were looking for a way out, and some were antipathetic.

But the only thing that won't be done is to be reasonable.

To do things unreasonably, it depends on personal character.

There is no one in the world who should have done anything, but become, what do I want, everyone is like this, what will the world become?

The effect of the monarch's example is great, because what is good at the top will be followed by the bottom.

Son of Heaven, how you treat your prime minister, your prime minister will treat his subordinates, and then go down layer by layer.

Emperor Yang of Sui didn't care about the people in the world, so the low-level officials dared to oppress at will.

The monarch does not care about the soldiers in the army, and the officers dare to oppress the soldiers.

Just as the Son of Heaven you used to often comfort the soldiers, and now you are still in the palace to let the soldiers perform martial arts, the officials of the Tang Dynasty know that you attach importance to the army, so the treatment of the soldiers is better than that of the Wude years.

This is your role model as a king.

Whether the politics is clear or not has little to do with the courtiers, and in the king, if you want a clear political environment, then you have to maintain the current situation.

This is called enlightened politics, and enlightened has a holy king. ”

"Enlightened politics!"

Li Shimin muttered this word, he suddenly stood up, walked in front of everyone, walked to the center of the hall, and took two more steps forward, his feet standing in the light.

He looked at the shoes on his feet that reflected the light, and took another big step forward, and the warm, blazing light shone on him.

Li Shimin turned around and looked at the prime ministers, and everyone also looked at Li Shimin standing in the light at the same time.

Li Shimin pointed to the beam of light that came in from the hall and said loudly: "National teacher, this enlightened politics is light.

The Holy King is the one who comes out of the light, but is it? ”

His voice was like a morning bell and a dusk drum, echoing in the Taiji Hall for a long time.

————

The prime minister system of the Tang Dynasty, no, it should be said that the prime minister system of the Zhenguan Dynasty, under the absolute monarchy system, almost reached an ideal state, until today, we are still deeply affected by this prime minister system, Luo Su endowed it with a profound meaning, and the theory he summarized prompted Li Shimin and all subsequent monarchs to have high respect for it.

……

"The glory that belongs to the Tang Dynasty alone, shining down from the top of the empire, Li Shimin and his prime ministers jointly maintain the most enlightened political system in the era of absolute monarchy. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Tang Dynasty"
