The few old things that Li Longji said refer to the several powerful ministers of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province, all of whom are sixty or seventy years old, and they are very critical of Li Longji all day long, and they can't stop saying cool words.

These old things, old, senior, and deep backgrounds, most of them are clan elders of the Li family dynasty, Li Longji is so angry that he vomits blood, and he can't fight or kill.

Even if you scold a few words, because of your high seniority, you don't scold it.

After the morning of the next day, sure enough, Gao Lishi greeted him in advance, leaving Xu Jiyuan, the Zhongshu Sheren of Zhongshu Province, Li Yi, the Huangmen Shilang of Menxia Province, plus Prime Minister Li Linfu and Prince Li Heng.

Datang adopts the official system of three provinces and six ministries, and the leaders of the three provinces are all human spirits among the human spirits, and they are cunning and cunning, which is difficult to deal with.

plus the crown prince, these four people, combined, under Li Longji, should have monopolized 80% of the power of Datang.

Li Longji must discuss with them before promulgating any major policy, even if it is a formality and buying people's hearts.

After all, even if Li Longji has the ability to reach the sky, he still needs to run errands and execute.

Li Longji's face was condensed, silent, and his cold gaze swept over the heads of the four people, looking at the sky outside the main hall, the weather today is very gloomy, cool and breezy, and not long after autumn, there is already a taste of late autumn.

The four bigwigs didn't know who Li Longji was going to attack, and they were all a little puzzled.

Li Longji mixed them for a while, and when he saw that the four of them were restless, he slowly spoke.

"Ministers, you are all the pillars of my Datang, working hard all day long."

Li Longji first praised him verbally to stabilize people's hearts, and the other three all replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the duty of a minister is not enough to worry about." ”

It's all routine Q&A, get used to it.

Only Li Heng felt embarrassed, compared to the other three, it was just an ornament, and Li Longji was also so compared, Li Heng was a little scared, so his mouth trembled.

What he said, Li Heng himself didn't know.

Xu Jiyuan asked directly: "Your Majesty, summoning a few of us over, won't it be to say a few indifferent words?" If Your Majesty has any orders, the old ministers will listen attentively. ”

Li Yi echoed: "Yes, what Lord Xu said is very true, Your Majesty will not let you sit or serve tea, it must be a big deal, Your Majesty may as well say it directly, although we are old and faint, we will do our best to share your worries and sorrows." ”

Xu Jiyuan is nearly seventy years old, is an old minister of the two dynasties, and has led Zhongshu Province for decades, he is really a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, and often rejects Li Longji's edict, which is an endless thorn.

Li Yi is even more excessive, relying on the royal bloodline, and Li Longji's elder, who is over sixty years old, has controlled the province for many years, and speaks to Li Longji, always thinking of himself as an elder.

As soon as Li Longji heard that the two old guys were in trouble, he was not happy, but fortunately, Li Linfu has been very well-behaved recently, and he has no intention of being in the same stream with the two old guys.

Li Longji whispered to Gao Lishi: "Give the two old people a seat, serve tea, drink and talk at the same time." ”

Li Longji made concessions with a very bottom line.

Soon, Xu Jiyuan and Li Yi were given a seat to drink tea, and Li Linfu licked his lips, feeling that his mouth was dry, and it was difficult to make requests.

Li Longji said, "I have always been in the prosperous era of the new century, the wind and rain have always been smooth, the country and the people are safe, the world is peaceful, and the four seas are praised, but maybe everyone is too comfortable, and there is less worship and awe of God, so since the beginning of autumn, the weather has been abnormal, lightning and drought and thunder, which has caused a lot of disasters and losses." ”

Li Longji is not reckless, everything is strongly implemented, although the killing is decisive, but every time Li Longji will have an excuse and a rhetoric, so that no one can find fault, so that he can be convinced.

Therefore, as soon as he opened, Li Longji talked about God and did a good job of foreshadowing.

All appointments, negotiations, start with the weather, the smoothest, the most peaceful, and the most easily accepted by both parties.

The thunderstorms and rainstorms a few days ago caused natural and man-made disasters were well known to everyone here, so when Li Longji said this, the four audience members kept bowing their heads.

It's not that God is hateful, it's that we're too arrogant and don't have enough fear of God! This opening statement was recognized by several people.

Li Linfu said: "Back to Your Majesty, after the natural disaster, Weichen cooperated with the prince to actively provide disaster relief, and now the affected houses have been rebuilt, and the affected people also have a place to live and eat, and everyone is grateful to Your Majesty for his grace!" ”

Li Linfu seized the opportunity to begin to show his merits.

Li Heng hurriedly echoed: "Father, what Li Xiang said is very true, now that the victims are properly settled, there is peace inside and outside Chang'an City. ”

Li Longji nodded, depressed in his heart, and scolded himself: "Two speculators, who have done a little thing, for fear that others will not know, I am anxious, if you can understand two or three points, I will not be so troublesome." ”

Li Longji said: "Disaster relief is just a superficial effort, what I am saying is that each of us lacks reverence in our hearts, and we have reverence for God. ”

Xu Jiyuan arched his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, expressing awe of God is nothing more than worshiping heaven and earth, but this activity is every spring, Your Majesty leads the ministers to worship the heavens and ancestors, and now it is autumn, is it not appropriate to worship the heavens?" ”

Li Yi immediately seconded the proposal and said: "Soon after the autumn harvest, all the people were immersed in the joy of the harvest, and suddenly said that natural disasters and man-made disasters, and to sacrifice to the sky with great fanfare, will hit the confidence of the people, make them suspicious, and the people's hearts are unstable, which is not a good thing." ”

Before Li Longji finished speaking, the two old things began to refute, as if the purpose of their coming was to raise the bar with Li Longji, and only by making Li Longjining unable to get off the stage could they have a sense of accomplishment.

Li Linfu took a step forward and wanted to distinguish a few words for Li Longji, but when he saw Li Longji's indifferent face, he had to retreat.

Li Heng didn't dare to interject at all, and as an honest listener, he felt scared.

Li Longji suddenly changed the topic and said to Gao Lishi: "Spread the twenty-first to the palace." ”

Colliers said yes and went out immediately.

Li Longji said: "What the two elders said is that the fanfare sacrifice to the sky has too much impact, and it will also increase a lot of burden on the people and ministers. ”

Li Heng finally seized the opportunity and said: "Since my father already has an idea, why discuss it with us and issue an order directly, wouldn't it be convenient for us to act according to the order and do our best." ”

Li Longji saw that Li Heng spoke hastily and was anxious to find a step for himself, but Li Longji not only did not praise Li Heng verbally, but frowned, Li Heng was so impatient, he had no political mind.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Heng's voice fell, Li Yi directly reprimanded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said cautiously, since His Majesty invited several of our old ministers to discuss state affairs, he just looks up to us and knows that we can come up with ideas and find solutions, and Your Majesty does not want to be arbitrary, this is Your Majesty's broad mind, and the Prince is so impatient, how can Your Majesty be embarrassed?" ”

Li Yi was equivalent to reprimanding Li Heng, and Li Heng wanted to refute it, but seeing that several old guys were indifferent, Li Heng didn't dare to make a mistake, and he also felt that he was slapped in the face and deserved to be beaten.

Li Linfu had already heard Li Longji's thoughts, and at this time, the two old guys did not give up, and they didn't take what Li Longji said to heart at all, and Li Longji was very embarrassed.

Li Linfu naturally wants to save the car in time, otherwise is it still Li Linfu?

Li Linfu said: "The two elders are very worried, but Your Majesty has the world in mind, it is the blessing of our wait, the blessing of the world, Your Majesty's meaning, is it to reduce the scale, take a special form, worship the sky, pray for the ancestors, and pray for the people of the world." ”

When Li Longji heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, and Li Linfu still knew what was in his heart.

Li Longji immediately looked at Li Linfu with a smile and said, "Lord Li's words are in line with my intentions, and I am thinking about how to worship the heavens and pray for the ancestors in a simple form and with the most sincere intentions. ”

Li Linfu quickly analyzed the content of Li Longji's words, and for a moment, his inspiration flashed, and he suddenly understood why Li Longji mentioned these things today.

It turned out that Li Longji was going around the bend, and the purpose was not to sacrifice to the sky, but to women.

And it's for the sake of that hot woman.

If Li Longji told the truth, he would definitely be refuted by the two old ministers in court, and his face would be disgraced.

Li Linfu snickered in his heart, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for the sake of women, you are also taking great pains, why are you so complicated, tell me the truth directly Li Linfu, I am in control of the six departments, and there is a way to get the woman back for you.

Li Linfu said: "At this time, it is easy to do, I will not shirk, personally supervise, let the Ministry of Rites organize the major temples in the capital, Taoist temples, invite powerful monks, Taoist priests, enter the palace to pray for blessings, as little as seven days, as much as forty-nine days, in this way, the scale is small, as long as it is sincere, it must move the heavens and the earth." ”
