Volume 1 Chapter 008 Fierce Debate Wei Zheng
"The prince's statement is fallacious!" Li Chengqian's words caused public anger, and he stood up alone, "Weichen Wei Zheng has something to say." ”
In fact, Wei Zheng didn't want to make trouble at this moment, although he didn't approve of Li Chengqian's behavior, it didn't mean that he recognized that the scholars could use this to attack the imperial power, in the final analysis, Li Chengqian was only a teenager at this time, and it was not unacceptable to make such a mistake.
Besides, if a teenage prince doesn't make any mistakes, wouldn't they, the ministers of civil and military affairs, be useless? It's not that everyone is a good teacher, but you have to give us the opportunity to pass on our knowledge, experience, and experience, and what we have seen, right?
But Li Chengqian's words just now really stimulated Wei Zheng, and he didn't care so much, so he immediately stood up.
Seeing that the person who stood up reported his home, Li Chengqian was also slightly stunned.
This is Wei Zheng? Wei Da troll, known as the mirror of the ages?
As soon as Wei Zheng stood up, the previous imperial history retreated.
Now that this one is out, it has nothing to do with him, what he has to do has already been done.
"If you have something to say, you can say it." Li Shimin was a little impatient when he saw Wei Zheng stand up, this guy is really annoying.
Just now, when he heard Li Chengqian's remarks, he was actually a little gratified, and whether it was right or wrong, he just said that Li Chengqian's retortive question was quite a bit of his demeanor back then.
Almost the same idea as him, there are also those generals.
As veterans of the battlefield, they like Li Chengqian's tough style, no way, the old man can't imagine so many fancy intestines.
Wei Zheng didn't care about this, turned to look at Li Chengqian directly, and said: "Your Highness can know that in the first year of Zhenguan, there was a great drought in the two places, and in March of the following year, locust plagues were everywhere in Guannei, and the land was thousands of miles away, and in the summer of the same year, Guannai suffered another great drought!"
In the three years of Zhenguan, there was still a big drought in Guannai, and at the same time, five states were hit by locust plagues again! Zhenguan four years of the same drought, the same locust plague! ”
Every time he said a word, his tone rose a point, until the end, he said lonely, "Since the change of the yuan, it can still be called a smooth wind and rain this year, but even so, there are many people who have no food and clothing!"
Your Highness, have you ever repented of this? ”
Wei Zheng didn't spray this time, he was just explaining a fact, but this fact made the Manchu civil and military forces present silent.
The past few years have indeed been a year of many disasters and hardships, and the hardships may really not be enough to deal with outsiders.
But Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to be reasonable, then I'll reason with you slowly, I'm not afraid of reasoning, I'm afraid that you will spray me!
After bowing his hand, Li Chengqian said: "What Duke Wei said is very true, over the years, the dynasty has indeed been difficult, but there is one thing that is not clear, I wonder if Duke Wei can solve my doubts?" ”
"Your Highness, please speak." Wei Zheng was very polite today.
But all of them do.
"Just now, Wei Gong mentioned that there are many people who are hungry and have no food and clothing!" The first time he confronted the famous Eternal Mirror in history, Li Chengqian was still a little nervous, but since you Wei Zheng are going to hold up the elders' shelves to teach, then don't blame me, a later generation of bartenders, for teaching you a lesson, "Dare to ask Wei Gong, the people are hungry and have no food and clothing, but Lone plotted to rob them of their last grain of food, or Lone Qiang robbed them of their last shirt?" ”
In the end, Li Chengqian also came to the state, raised his voice, and said angrily, "Why do the princes of the court want to impose such evil deeds on Gu's body, what is the reason!" ”
In an instant, the court was silent!
They didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so rigid!
If you really want to talk about it, natural and man-made disasters are indeed unreasonable to impose on Li Chengqian, but this is not the reason.
A group of civil servants were so angry that they only played tricks.
They are not angry that Li Chengqian is brewing wine in the East Palace, but they are worried that the prince of the Tang Dynasty does not pity the people.
When Li 200 years later, this prince who does not pity the people ascends to the throne, can the people of this world still have a good life?
Of course, the group of generals was happy to watch it at this time, they didn't care about this, anyway, they thought that today's prince was good, for so many years, there were not no people who were tough on Wei Zheng, but none of them were like Li Chengqian.
And Li Tai and Li Ke, the two of them just sat there and watched all this with a smile.
That's right, the prince and the civil official are on the right!
As for Li Er, he glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise, in the past, Li Chengqian's weakness worried him the most, but today's performance surprised him a little.
Looking back at Wei Zheng again, he didn't rush to speak, just looked at Li Chengqian, just looked at it, and didn't say anything for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Zheng sighed and said, "No one said that it was His Highness's fault, but why couldn't His Highness worry about the people of Dawn?"
You must know that the food consumed by His Highness in brewing wine can allow many suffering people to survive this cold winter, and this is not the heaviest ......"
"Then let me ask, at this time, among the one hundred and ten ministers of the Tang Dynasty above the court, whose granary is not full of grain, the one who has just impeached the lone Yushi, the land of Fanyang, half of the acres of land are in the hands of his Lu family, and the abundance of the Lu family's granary is not much better than that of the court.
Not to mention his Lu family, at this time above the court, whose granary has not stored grain for three or two years, why do they only stare at Gu?
Or is it lonely and young, and you can let it be manipulated? ”
Li Chengqian didn't give Wei Zheng a chance to finish his words at all, he knew what he wanted to say, it was nothing more than the prince making wine, which played a bad leading role.
But he did not want to delve into this issue at all, and from the very beginning, every word he said was carefully thought out and deliberately arranged in order to lead to crucial questions.
However, at this time, the civil officials did not know why and never mentioned the root of the problem, so Li Chengqian added another fire.
On the high seat, Li Shimin looked at all this with great interest, and said in his heart, not bad, at least Li Chengqian's performance was good today, which made him very satisfied.
As an emperor, he doesn't care about right or wrong, not to mention that Li Chengqian's winemaking is not wrong, what he cares about is how to deal with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty as a prince and prince.
As for Li Chengqian's mention of the food problem in everyone's family, this is not nonsense, let's not talk about the five doors and seven hopes, the thousand-year-old family has too deep roots, let's talk about those upstarts who follow Li Shimin to fight the world, which one is not the big landlord of Chang'an City?
Can there be a shortage of food at home?
It's no nonsense.
For a while, the court was quiet again.
Because there is no way to refute this, who dares to jump out and say that my granary is so empty that rats are starving to death, and it is estimated that others can drown them with spittle.
Even if it was Wei Zheng, he didn't dare to say this!
"Hmph." Seeing that no one spoke, Li Chengqian snorted coldly and made up for it, "It turns out that the way of the saint is only used to ask the royal family, and Yu Er and the others don't seem to be of much use."
That's it, what else is there to say about reading the books of the sages? ”
Good!
On the high seat, Li Shimin was amazed at the case, this knife was well repaired!
He clenched his fists, very happy, these literati like to use the way of sages to curb the imperial power, but at this time they were given an army by Li Chengqian.
"Well, well said!" At this moment, there was a cheer from the ranks of the generals, which was different from the emperor who only dared to applaud in his heart, this guy roared out directly.
