Chapter 242: Buying People's Hearts? Fake villain, real gentleman

Li Yuan eventually followed the advice of many courtiers.

Of course, he can also choose to refuse, but what is the fate of refusal...... Li Yuan is most likely clear in his heart.

So Sima Yu, a scribe of the Tiance Mansion, came out of the Dongshang Pavilion Gate to announce the edict, and the riots gradually subsided, and the rebellion finally dissipated under the edict.

After taking the first step, Li Yuan also let go of himself and simply took the initiative.

Li Yuan then asked Pei Lian, the squire of the Yellow Gate, to go to the East Palace, and asked him to enlighten and appease many soldiers under Li Jiancheng.

Without Li Yuan's order, it is difficult to guarantee that these soldiers will not fight back desperately.

They are all Li Jiancheng's subordinates, and they are very worried about whether they will be liquidated by Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin is not appeased, these people will definitely fight back with the belief that they will die, which will certainly bring great trouble to Li Shimin.

For Li Shimin now, the most important thing is stability, and as long as the situation is stabilized, there is nothing that cannot be compromised.

It's perfectly okay to wait until his position is determined, and then slowly liquidate the factors that create instability.

With Li Yuan's guarantee, Li Jiancheng's subordinates settled down a lot, so many soldiers abandoned their posts and dispersed.

Finally, everything seemed to be settled, and Li Yuan also saw Li Shimin again eight hours after the incident began.

Although only one day had passed, Li Yuan seemed to feel that a long time had passed.

Not seen for a day, such as every other three autumns.

The changes in the past few days made Li Yuan feel that his son was a little unfamiliar.

Looking at Li Shimin, Li Yuan's lips pursed, and he slowly spoke: "In recent days, I have almost been confused. ”

The meaning of Touzhu, that is, rumors, comes from Liang Shu, and the so-called Touzhu Zhifu is about almost believing that outsiders slander their children.

Li Shimin immediately knelt down, lay down on Li Yuan's chest, and cried for a long time.

This scene made Qin Tian, who had been watching the development of things, a little unbearable.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't moved by the deep love between father and son, but because the performances of these two people were too disgusting.

Regarding this, even Sima Guang of Snot Song couldn't stand it.

Regarding this period of history, it is recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian: Shang Nai summoned the people of the world, and Fu Zhi said: "Recently, there have been several confusions. "The people of the world knelt and sucked their breasts, and mourned for a long time.

The most interesting thing is the last sentence: The people of the world knelt and sucked their breasts, and mourned for a long time.

Li Shimin knelt down and sucked on his father's something, crying while sucking.

This is actually to show the author's disgust with the performance of the two at that time, but I didn't expect this kind of artistic exaggeration to be taken as a fact by some later generations.

Mo said that there is no such record in history at all, how Sima Guang said it as if he was at the scene at the beginning, and wrote it in such detail.

The so-called "kneeling and sucking breasts" actually describes the meaning of Li Shimin falling into Li Yuan's arms.

And what Qin Tian saw was exactly such a scene.

As soon as Li Yuan saw Li Shimin, he began to cry, saying that he had almost listened to the rumors outside, thinking that you were really going to be a traitor.

As he spoke, he wiped a few tears and came out.

Li Yuan actually understood that his rights had been taken away by Li Shimin.

So now he is actually equivalent to directly softening.

"Okay, things have come to this point, I know what's going on, the dust has settled, don't say anything, that's it."

In and out of words, Li Yuan just meant that.

Li Shimin looked at it, that didn't work, it looked like you had taken a step back, but in the current situation, doesn't it seem that I am forcing you to bow your head?

So what has become of me? Isn't it a great unfilial piety?

Li Shimin immediately reacted, and directly threw himself into his father's arms and cried.

He also relented.

Li Shimin's meaning is very simple, I will take a step back, hello, hello, everyone.

In fact, it is not incomprehensible for a young man in his twenties to cry in the arms of his fifty-year-old father.

The point is that the current scene is a bit too ...... Shameless.

What kind of father-son relationship do these two people pretend to have?

It's everybody who knows what's going on.

Li Shimin had just killed his siblings, and Li Yuan had just hung up his son and reluctantly handed over the rights in his hands.

Now the two of them play the deep relationship between father and son, which is really a little too unsightly.

But it can't be helped, the bosses have started to perform, and everyone else can't help but express it, right?

The people around him also began to kneel and cry one after another.

Qin Tian really couldn't stand the current scene, and withdrew his divine sense.

Martial law in Chang'an City was maintained for three days.

I have to say that although Li Shimin is not called personnel, he still has a lot of skill in governing the country.

It only took three days for Chang'an City to return to its previous state.

The people in the city were almost unaffected by this coup d'Γ©tat, except for a few unlucky people who were involved, there were no casualties, which has to be said to be a miracle.

On the eighth day of June, news came from the DPRK that Li Shimin had become the crown prince and managed the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Whether he intended it this way, or in order to show a diligent government for the people, in short, Li Shimin did many things that were beneficial to the people after he ascended the throne.

What did Li Shimin do after becoming the crown prince.

On the eighth day of the sixth month, he became the crown prince, and after that, Li Shimin let go of all kinds of eagle dogs and rare beasts raised in the palace garden.

He also announced that he would stop collecting tribute from all sides.

The most important thing is that Li Shimin put forward the concept of governance in the Tang Dynasty: advocating simplicity and seriousness, so the civil and military officials are happy.

After doing this, Li Shimin did not stop for a moment, and then ordered each of the hundred officials to submit a seal to the work, the main content of which was to let the officials explain in detail the key to stabilizing the people's hearts and governing the country.

The new official took office with three fires, and the first two fires after Li Shimin became the crown prince were very prosperous.

Just five days later, he made another decision that surprised everyone, even in previous dynasties!

On the fifth day after becoming the crown prince, that is, on June 13.

Li Shimin issued an order and ordered: "According to the courtesy, the two names are not partial. Modern times have come, both words are avoided, there are many wastes, and it is contrary to the classics to act willingly.

"If there is a discontinuity in the word 'Shimin' in his official name, personal name, and public and private documents, there is no need to shy away from it."

The meaning is simple and clear, it seems that it just means that there is no need to shy away from the emperor's name, but in fact, he is announcing that he is tolerant and generous, and humbly accepts the opinions of all parties!

You see, I don't even need to shy away from my own name and my father's name, isn't that enough to show my tolerance and generosity?

This is also revealing in disguise that he doesn't care about the world's evaluation of the changes in Xuanwumen.

Li Shimin is very crazy and confident.

That's what I did, and I didn't care what people said, or even the avoidance of names in the historical texts.

Because Li Shimin is very confident, he is confident that he will not do worse than the previous prince, nor worse than his father.

He must be better than the two of them, and much better.

In this way, people in the world naturally know what to say and what not to say.

As for the subsequent changes to the system and the abolition of the Tiance Mansion, it is actually just a collection of rights and a redistribution of benefits.

Those are the minutiae of things.

After Li Shimin became the crown prince, the changes in the world are not insignificant, and all aspects are also thriving.

Even Qin Tian, who watched the cause of the incident throughout the whole process, had to admit that Li Shimin was indeed a famous monarch through the ages.

His methods of governance and his keen sense of power struggles made him invincible when rectifying the court.

……

"In this world, it's really getting better and better." Sun Simiao said with emotion.

Previously, it coincided with the change of Xuanwu Gate, and Sun Simiao had to wait outside the city for seven days before being allowed to enter the city.

After entering the city, he rented a mansion in the capital and opened a medical center.

Sun Simiao's medical hall was not far from Qin Tian, and it was only a few steps away, so Sun Simiao often went to Qin Tian to ask for advice.

It is said to be asking for advice, but in fact, it is more of a small talk and a time to pass the time.

If such a big thing happened today, how could Sun Simiao have the heart to study knowledge.

He doesn't care who sits on the throne, but he cares what kind of changes the monarch on the throne will bring to the people of the world.

It is naturally excellent that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but if the monarch is cruel and unkind, the people of the world will suffer.

Looking at what Li Shimin had done before, Sun Simiao was very worried, he felt that the person who could do such a thing as killing his brother was definitely not a holy monarch.

However, a series of measures after Li Shimin ascended the throne made him gradually change his view of Li Shimin.

And the most famous and most talked about thing among them is Li Shimin's pardon of Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was Li Jiancheng's staff, and long ago, Wei Zheng persuaded Li Jiancheng to transfer Li Shimin to other places, or simply get rid of Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin heard about this, he called Wei Zheng to ask: "Why do you want to separate the relationship between our two brothers?" ”

When the people around heard Li Shimin's question, they immediately pinched a cold sweat for Wei Zheng.

This is clearly to find trouble, put the other party and die!

Others would have sweated profusely, and they didn't know what to do.

Wei Zheng poured: "If the crown prince follows the signs, there will be no disaster today." ”

Wei Zheng is a straight person, and his character is destined to make him not the kind of person who will bend his mind.

But at the same time, he also has a very keen political sense.

If Li Shimin really wanted to execute him, or trouble him, there was no need to call him to come to him.

A small character like him casually arranges for a person to be executed in prison, and no one will have any objections at all.

This is perfectly normal.

So why did Li Shimin call himself over?

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than buying people's hearts.

So Wei Zheng said those words.

I know it, but there are still a few people who can really say it with confidence.

Who knows if their guess is right or not, what if the prince has other ideas?

But Wei Zheng just said that, not only did he say so, but he was also reused by Li Shimin!

Li Shimin not only did not get angry, but laughed, and then pardoned him, accepted him as a staff member, and even gave him the official position of chief bookkeeper.

When everyone heard this, they were immediately envious, this kid is completely developed now.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wei Zheng to be promoted again and was promoted to counselor by Li Shimin.

This completely set the tone during Li Shimin's administration.

That is to tell the truth and do practical things.

Li Shimin didn't care about the courtiers' offense to him, but supported the courtiers to tell the truth, as long as it is beneficial to the country, as long as you do practical things, what if you offend a little?

This kind of thing is not something that Shengdou Xiaomin can know, but now even Sun Simiao, who doesn't ask about political affairs, has heard about this matter, which can only prove that someone is deliberately propagating.

This kind of propaganda also proves Li Shimin's tolerance and generosity from another aspect.

Li Shimin did this, and he also began to make the people have different ideas.

Such a good prince doesn't care about other people's offense at all, so why would he do such a thing as killing his brother?

The concept of the people is simple, if a person has done something bad, and he is still a good person, it can only prove that the other person must be a bad person!

In this way, there is no need to discredit his brother and father at all, and there will naturally be people in the world who defend Li Shimin.

This is where Li Shimin's skill lies.

"It's really terrible to buy people's hearts like this." Sun Simiao has a kinship.

Qin Tian glanced at Sun Simiao unexpectedly.

"Do it." Sun Simiao said with some dissatisfaction.

"I thought Brother Sun was not good at political affairs, but I never thought that Brother Sun could see it so clearly." Qin Tian said with some surprise.

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear."

Sun Simiao said helplessly: "But Brother Qin is right, I am indeed not familiar with political affairs, otherwise I would not have never been an official in the court." ”

Qin Tian smiled and didn't answer, but instead changed the topic and said, "What does Brother Sun think of hypocrites?" ”

"Hypocrite?" A touch of disdain appeared on Sun Simiao's face: "It's not as good as a real villain." ”

"Really?" Qin Tian asked rhetorically: "But if a person pretends to be a gentleman and pretends to be a gentleman all his life, and he has never done a bad thing until he dies, then what? ”

"This ......" Sun Simiao was stuck.

"This ...... This is clearly sophistry. ”

Qin Tian laughed: "But in this world, who can say that he has never had evil thoughts?" ”

Sun Simiao was stunned again.

"Filial piety is the first, no trace of the heart, no filial piety in the poor family, the first of all evils and prostitution, no matter the heart, no one in the world."

Qin Tian said slowly.

This sentence was summed up by an official 1,200 years later.

This sentence is undoubtedly deafening in today's era.

Sun Simiao kept muttering these words, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

"So, what if it's a buy of people's hearts?" Qin Tian said lightly: "If the prince can buy people's hearts like this for a lifetime, who can say that he is not sincere?" ”

"When looking at a person, we should not only look at what he says and does, but also look at what impact his actions have brought to the world."

"Such an evaluation is objective and correct."
