Chapter 444: Excessive
Thanks to Li Kuan's loose hands, the old ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest benefit that Li Kuan got in this matter is that these old ministers were very happy when handling the handover, and they did not leave any big holes, and the mistakes they made before were also erased.
In a blink of an eye, the time for Li Shimin to hold sea swimming and sea fishing has come.
Li Shimin happily picked up all the old ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty in Chang'an City and went to the East China Sea.
There is a sea area that Liu Ren's fleet personally evacuated.
The entire sea area is emptied and protected by the way of fishing nets under the fleet to prevent large fish from rushing in.
The sea is no better than the land, and it's normal for a wave to sweep you into the depths.
Li Kuan and Li Chengqian personally sent Li Shimin away.
The two brothers wanted to follow, but they were refused.
Li Chengqian was pressed by Li Shimin in Chang'an during this handover, and was in charge of the Zongren Mansion and Dali Temple.
He couldn't go if he wanted to.
When I returned to the three provinces, the entire three provinces were much emptier than before.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, and the eldest grandson Wuji all retreated.
The only ones left were Ma Zhouren.
Newly promoted Yu Zhining, Xu Jingzong and others.
It is worth mentioning that Li Tao was also promoted to the three provinces.
"In the future, we will be responsible for this Datang."
Li Kuan said meaningfully.
The ascension of a large number of young new officials made the dull aura that had appeared in Datang disappear suddenly.
The old man is gone, and it's time for them to take the new position.
Walking in the palace, Li Kuan and Li Chengqian unconsciously walked to the Daming Palace of the last dynasty.
Looking at the high throne, Li Chengqian pushed Li Kuan and said with a smile: "Go up and sit down?" ”
Glancing at him, Li Kuan was slightly angry, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Li Chengqian laughed.
"You are all the emperors who are predetermined, what other rules are there that are not ruly."
"Just sit down."
"Carefully show it to whom."
"The reason why Your Majesty carried out the transfer of power so early is not so that you can get familiar with it in advance."
Li Chengqian's mood is a little complicated.
Li Kuan shook his head, staring at the high throne with complicated eyes, and finally sighed, and said helplessly: "Cheng Qian, you said that Your Majesty and I can turn this throne transfer into a bloodless mode." ”
"Now Your Majesty has indeed embarked on the road of helping out."
"But I'm confused about myself."
"The more power you have, the more you understand the cherishing of this right, and the more you don't want to let go."
In order to let the old ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty let go, he paid a lot of benefits and forgave a lot of mistakes to create such an environment for peaceful handover.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said with a smile that he didn't know.
"My ability is not as good as yours at all, how do I know if I can hand over peacefully."
"After all, you also said that power is too big, charming eyes, and human nature is the most unpredictable thing."
It has been 25 years since the Tang Dynasty officially opened the country.
The desires of the people in the peaceful and prosperous period have begun to manifest, and everyone is not as well arranged as they were at the beginning.
There is also a lot less brotherhood.
"It's too much responsibility, it's really confusing."
Li Kuan looked at the throne and muttered.
Zhenguan still had the brotherhood of founding the country and fighting the war, but in his dynasty, he did not have this affection to maintain the superficial peace.
"Anyway, you are the crown prince now, and you will be the emperor in a few years, you have to cheer up and be strong, our brothers and sisters are still counting on you to protect yourself from the wind and rain."
"Your son is still counting on you to give him a throne."
patting Li Kuan, Li Chengqian comforted as much as possible.
One of the main reasons why Li Shimin pressed him in Chang'an was that he hoped that he could help Li Kuan when necessary.
Give Li Kuan a reassurance, in this Chang'an City, there are brothers he can completely trust.
"Let Uncle Daozong Wang be in charge of the security of Chang'an City."
"At the same time, let's activate the characters in the royal family."
"Since there is not much affection for the founding of the country, then using your own family is also the main means to maintain the Tang Dynasty."
Li Kuan finally made a decision.
Enable a group of your own family.
When outsiders are not good, their own family members are good.
Li Chengqian didn't expect Li Kuan to make this choice, which was completely unexpected.
"This will infringe on certain promotion channels and will be suppressed."
"And our Li family will also become the target of public criticism."
Li Chengqian muttered.
He needs to explain the pros and cons to Li Kuan.
Li Kuan said calmly: "So I need to ask the Li family when I go back, if they are willing to give their lives for this fixed share of position." ”
"As long as we pay a price of enough, strong enough, and ruthless enough, then no one can say anything."
Li Chengqian understood Li Kuan's thoughts.
Sacrifice in exchange for law.
This is a common method used by the Maison since ancient times.
In order to fight for a certain position, some people's lives are sacrificed.
Plugging someone's mouth with blood.
Is this trick any good?
Needless to say, it must be easy to use as a thief, but this trick also has drawbacks, it is easy to make your family frightened and want to escape.
After all, it is their relatives and elders who are sacrificed.
Li Kuan took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in his heart.
Li Chengqian stopped talking.
After a while, the two continued to wander around the palace.
Because Li Shimin has not increased the number of harem concubines in recent years, and many princesses have moved out, and there are a lot fewer people who need to be served, Li Shimin has not increased the number of palace maids and eunuchs.
Now a large number of palaces in the palace have begun to vacancy, and the entire palace is empty, gradually losing its former prosperity.
"Tsk, the Tang Dynasty has come, but the palace is empty."
"If you ascend the throne in the future, if you don't increase the number of people in the harem, won't this palace be even emptier."
"Will there be birds sleeping on the eaves and foxes sleeping on the aisles?"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but say.
Li Kuan couldn't help but glance at him, what you said was not empty, it was barren.
"No, I'll have people clean it once every half a month."
"We'll be on the next arrangement."
"I also plan to build another palace in the next few years, which will be used exclusively for banquets and court meetings."
"The goal is to be able to accommodate all the people who are counted by the end of next year."
Li Kuan also put forward this opinion to Li Shimin to build a big palace.
But Li Shimin refused, he hated the loss of labor and money.
Li Kuan knew that he was afraid that others would say that he was building a large number of buildings.
In the Zhenguan Dynasty, in order to prevent others from saying that he was building a lot for personal interests, Li Shimin really did not build the palace a few times, and most of the time he repaired and repaired on the original basis.
Before going out to fish this time, he also listened to Wei Zheng's suggestion and dismissed a large number of eunuchs and palace maids in the palaces in various places, leaving only a certain number of maintenance personnel in the inner government.
