Chapter 577: Transformation
It is normal for Li Shimin to have such a reaction, in this Chang'an City, there is no one whose majesty is higher than himself, originally he thought that he was loved by the people, but when this incident happened, he thought that he was a little wrong.
Li Shimin is also a generation of Mingjun, but it depends on who he compares with, if there is no Li Xiang, then he has really made a good Tang Dynasty, but if he is compared with Li Xiang, it is a bit not enough.
Li Shimin achieved the prestige of Tian Khan, but this is just a false name, for the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, they did not get any benefits from it, but increased their burden.
Whenever countries come to pay tribute, the imperial court will give them more gifts, so that they can feel the love of the Tang Dynasty for them, but where do these gifts come from? Can there be more in the warehouse of the palace out of thin air? It's absolutely impossible.
All the gifts still increased to the heads of the common people, although the number of annual increases is not much, but the accumulation is quite a lot.
Li Xiang did not choose to have this false name, every step he took was real, and the defeated country should have the consciousness of the defeated country, why should your people enjoy the same as our people?
Now in the street market of Chang'an City, the goods of the surrounding countries are almost full, but because of the pricing of the imperial court, the goods of various countries are 20% cheaper than in the past, and the 20% price is the profit of each country.
The common people really felt the benefits, so they all wanted to kowtow to Li Xiang spontaneously, which led to the situation just now.
Sometimes Li Shimin also reflected on it, compared to what Li Xiang did, what he did seemed to be more imposing, and it seemed to be more able to reflect his ability, but he didn't take into account the gains and losses of the people, if he could take into account the gains and losses of the people, let them get more profits from it, maybe he would be the one who was loved.
In addition, in terms of the families of the army, Li Shimin originally fought in the south and the north, but after every battle, many people who followed Li Shimin on the expedition always died.
Even if the Tang Dynasty wins, someone in their family has died, which is equivalent to losing the pillars of the family, and Li Shimin's aftermath work is not very good, which makes a family fall into poverty, even if you achieve good results, our lives become a mess, how do you let us support you?
Li Xiang also often fought around, but the casualty rate in Li Xiang's army was very low, never lower in history, because of the blessing of new weapons, Li Xiang even reached an astonishing loss ratio of 1 to 20 when fighting with neighboring countries.
In such a situation, the casualties are less than one-tenth of the original, and even if someone dies in the war for the country, in addition to the pension of the imperial court, some institutions under Li Xiang will also give new pensions to these families, and every month until the children of this family become adults.
If there were parents, Li Xiang would choose to provide for these people to die, they not only worked hard for Datang, but also worked hard for Li Xiang, Li Xiang understands this very well, this is also the reason why the soldiers love him, who doesn't want to follow such a coach?
They told their families everything in the army, and their families told the neighbors around them, so that there were many people who benefited from it, and their impression of Li Xiang was getting better and better, and when Li Xiang entered Chang'an City, this kind of goodwill finally broke out.
"You stand down first, keep an eye on these people, and report if you make a move."
Li Shimin is about to meet Li Xiang, this is not a simple meeting between the two of them, Li Shimin has already regarded Li Xiang as a giant of the imperial court, so in this case, these black-clothed people will not be able to get on the stage, you must step down.
These black-clothed people also understand that no matter how important things they do to Li Shimin, they will not be able to appear on such an important occasion, because they are engaged in some disgraceful things, if they are brought to the table, it will seem that the entire Datang still has a dark side.
"Emperor Xuan's grandson goes to the palace."
The orders were conveyed layer by layer, listening to the voices outside one after another, Li Shimin's heart was a little more comfortable, no matter what kind of achievements you have outside, you are only a courtier of the Tang Dynasty after all, and I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xiang listened to the voice inside but had different feelings, when he became the emperor in the future, he should not make these procedures so troublesome, it should be simplified, judging from the scene just now, Li Xiang felt that he had to be closer to the people and more aware of what the people wanted, so that he could continue his dynasty.
The grandfather and grandson came to different conclusions on a simple move, which can see the difference between the two, Li Shimin in history paid great attention to the ideas of the common people, and when there was no crossing, Li Xiang also thought it was true.
When Li Xiang crossed over, he knew that Li Shimin only paid more attention to the common people than other emperors, but if he wanted to compare with himself, there was still a big gap, because Li Xiang, who was a man in two lifetimes, came out of the common people, and he knew the needs of the common people better than Li Shimin.
The ministers in the palace have already retreated a large part, and at this moment, except for the eldest grandson Wuji, who accompanied Li Xiang in, only Fang Xuanling is still here.
Li Xiang felt it when he was outside Chang'an City, this time when he came back, Li Shimin was deliberately simplifying his influence, it is said that on such an occasion, most of the officials in the court are there, but at this moment there are only so few, and even Li Chengqian did not come, Li Shimin's intentions can be imagined.
However, Li Xiang didn't care about this, he used to pay attention to these false names, that was because the strength in his hands was not very strong, so he had to rely on this to win over others, but now our strength is here, no one can shake our status, what do you want those false names to do?
"Minister Li Xiang, see Your Majesty."
To everyone's surprise, Li Xiang did not call himself a grandson, but used such a title.
This seems to be reasonable, but it's a bit unreasonable, who doesn't want to be closer to the emperor, doesn't Li Xiang want to?
