Chu Zhen finished asking.

Li Shimin ordered Wei Zheng to sit at the table, and under the scrutinizing eyes of everyone, Wei Zheng, a grass citizen, sat calmly beside Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin did not mince words to him.

Chu Zhen couldn't help laughing: "In the past, you were in Wagangzhai, have you ever thought about today?" ”

Li Shimin also smiled, looked around, and sure enough, there were five people in Wagangzhai alone.

Wei Zheng was also from Wagangzhai, but he was unknown at that time, and he was not familiar with Cheng Yanjin and other generals.

Now they are sitting together.

Wei Zheng said bluntly: "When I was in Wagang, I wrote ten suggestions to Mi Gong, recruiting talents, and courteous to former Sui officials, so that Wagang could change from a thief to a righteous army.

When I was fighting with Wang Shichong, I also had a strategy, but unfortunately Mi Gong was becoming more and more arrogant at that time, and listened to the slander of Bing Yuanzhen and others, so that he was captured twice by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and his success was defeated. ”

After looking at Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin and other four people, Wei Zheng said: "After the defeat of the Mi Gong army, you were either captured by Wang Shichong and had to live under others, or met His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and finally came to His Royal Highness's mansion earlier than me, which is enough to see that you have a stronger vision than me and know the Lord early." ”

Cheng Yanjin and the others all showed a smile.

Chu Zhen couldn't help laughing, who said that Wei Zheng would only admonish? Isn't this a good hand for slapping up sycophants!

Honest people are far more effective than people who are used to flattery.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "In front of Mr., you can speak freely. ”

Let them talk about the old things of Wagang directly, without scruples.

Luo Shixin, who was about the same age as Chu Zhen, saw that everyone didn't speak for a while, so he was ashamed and said: "I first followed General Zhang in Qi County, and then fought with Wagang, and after the defeat, I was heavily armed by Dr. Pei, and then I was lowered to Wagang, and I only stayed in Wagang for less than a year, and I was called the Five Tiger Generals of Wagang by Mr. Chu. ”

Luo Shixin saluted Chu Zhen and said modestly: "I'm really ashamed!" ”

Chu Zhen only told Li Shimin about the five tiger generals in Wagang, and it seems that he told them.

Shan Xiongxin said with a smile: "From this point of view, when you were in Wagang that day, it was Li Mi who underestimated you, and you are more than enough to be a general!" ”

"Don't dare, you're the general!"

No matter how modest Luo Shixin is, in Wagangzhai, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shichang are the left and right military generals.

Shan Xiongxin said again: "When I was in Wagang with Shiyun, Zhai Gong was kind to me, but I didn't know that Li Mi was not satisfied with the position of the lord of Wagang, and he killed Zhai Gong. On that day, the battle between Wagang and Wang Shichong, I was stationed on the periphery, Wang Shichong came to attack, and defeated the Zhijie reinforcements, I knew that I was invincible, so I surrendered to Wang Shichong. ”

After giving Cheng biting Jin and Qin Qiong apologetic looks, Shan Xiongxin continued:

"Later, Xing Yan and others wanted to restore the king of Yue in Luoyang, but I did not conspire with him because Wang Shichong was kind to me. After that, Shi Xun wrote to me day and night, persuading me to come to the Tang Dynasty to surrender to the King of Qin, I was still hesitating at the beginning, and then I saw that His Royal Highness the King of Qin's medical books, various crops and other things gradually spread all over the world, and the people all benefited. ”

Everyone looked at Chu Zhen one after another, and the seeds of the medical book were all from him.

Cheng Yanjin said in his loud voice: "My old Cheng was quite comfortable when he was under Mi Gong, but since he was rescued by the king with Shubao, I know what the lord of benevolence and righteousness is, and I stayed in the king's military camp for a few days, and I wanted to follow the king from then on!" ”

"You didn't stay in the barracks for a few days, but you mixed up for a few days, traveling around every day." Qin Shubao scolded him with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

After chatting about the Wagang matter, seeing that Mr. didn't ask again, Li Shimin talked about Wei Chigong in Liu Wuzhou and Zhang Zhigui, and Pei Lin in Jinyang, briefly mentioned the Sui Dynasty, and felt sorry for the death of Liu Wenjing.

Finally, he said: "From today on, there will be no Wagangzhai, Qin Wangfu, or Prince's Mansion, and some are just the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Shimin will be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no longer the king of Qin, and the disputes with the Prince's Mansion, the Qi Palace, and His Majesty in the past should be ended.

Everyone savored the words of His Royal Highness King Qin.

Chu Zhen knew that this was also the reason why Li Shimin invited Wei Zheng, and invited Pei Lian, Xiao Yu and others to come to the Qin Palace.

Today is the last time he will be the king of Qin, and if he misses it, he won't have this opportunity.

The food and drinks are served, and the feast begins.

Pei Lin first toasted King Qin, and then toasted Mr. Chu.

Everyone turned their eyes to Chu Zhen.

Li Shimin was also toasted by Chu Zhen with a glass of wine, and asked with a smile: "Mr. came back from the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what lessons he taught to the students of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Chu Zhen looked at him, Li Shimin went through the Xuanwu Sect, and after he decided to take power, he began to care about the governance of the country.

"Mr. Chu can still teach?" Cheng Yanjin asked curiously.

"Mr. Chu is very knowledgeable, why can't he teach?"

Fang Xuanling scolded him first, and then tried to ask Chu Zhen: "I wonder if we ordinary people can also listen to Mr. Chu's class?" ”

Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and the others all looked over, and it was the first time they had talked with immortals.

"I didn't give any lectures."

Chu Zhen said lightly: "Let me ask you a question first, the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism, if I want to depose Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty, what do you think?" ”

The crowd was a little surprised and began to discuss.

Wei Zheng wanted to ask Mr. Chu what kind of knowledge he was governing, and he wanted to depose Confucianism, but after seeing King Qin's calm expression, he didn't ask again.

After everyone discussed, Du Ruhui replied: "If someone else says this, I will oppose it." But if Mr. Chu says it, there must be a reason for Mr. ”

Chu Zhen smiled: "Just now I wanted to see your reactions, but I didn't really want to depose Confucianism, many classics of Confucianism are still worth learning." ”

Li Shimin is not surprised.

"I gave so many lectures in the Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, for one thing: to improve productivity!"

Chu Zhen said.

Another new word, productivity!

Wei Zheng pondered in his heart and felt that this word was related to farming, labor, and engineering.

"I don't know what productivity is?" Fang Xuanling asked modestly.

"It's very simple, for example, ploughing the land with bare hands is much slower than using oxen, rakes and shovels, the latter being more productive."

After everyone thought for a while, Chu Zhen said with a smile: "A city wall takes 100,000 people three years to build, but after increasing productivity, it only takes 100 people one year to complete." ”

When the people heard this, they were amazed.

"How big is the gap?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Is it only a year to build 100,000 armor weapons?" Wei Chigong also asked.

"It can be shorter, one year is enough to create tens of millions of armors, of course, Datang can't do it at the moment."

"This ......"

No one can imagine what the "productivity" of making so many armors in a year is like.

"Improving productivity may seem simple, but it goes straight to the foundation of governance."

Wei Zheng also said: "It's just that I can't think of what kind of technology should be used to improve productivity? I beg Mr. Chu to give me advice. ”

He thought of all kinds of miraculous things that King Qin came up with, such as iron smelting technology, shipbuilding technology, gunpowder, etc., from Mr. Chu, all of which were used to improve productivity?

"It's complicated to say, but the easiest way to increase productivity is to innovate farming technology, raise more cattle, and sell more iron farming tools to farmers.

However, if you want to really improve productivity, you need to rely on the power of heaven and earth, such as the rushing river, the sun in the sky, the ore, coal and oil in the ground.

How do I borrow it? It requires the use of human ingenuity. ”

Chu Zhen didn't plan to give any more lectures, so he ended the topic and said to Li Shimin: "Next time, you can ask for a set of teaching materials from Emperor Hongwu, and save a lot of things." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said with a smile: "I borrowed his armor last time, and this time I asked him to write the teaching materials, I don't know how to return the gift." ”

Chu Zhen said with a smile: "Just talk to him about how to govern the country!" ”

Two dynasties in different time and space, it is difficult to carry out any trade exchanges.

Besides, once there is trade, there will be friction, and if there is friction, there will be war, and it will be more troublesome.

Li Shimin agreed.

Everyone continued to use the banquet, and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others were still thinking about Chu Zhen's words.

Selling more iron farm tools is iron smelting technology?

"Sir, I'll give you a toast too!"

Cheng Yanjin picked up the wine glass and toasted Chu Zhen from afar.

The same is true for the rest.

After drinking for a round, Chu Zhen hurriedly stopped:

Next time, he invited Little Lady Li to drink with them and see who poured first!

……

On the second day, the early dynasty set up the crown prince.

Chu Zhen went out, and after seeing Li Shimin's style, he almost didn't laugh.

The dignified admiral Tiance, wearing a double bun that only children comb, is to coil his hair into two buns on his head and decorate them with jade guides.

I can't say that the eyes are spicy, I can only say that the aesthetics are different.

After seeing him laugh, the surrounding Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and others all looked at His Royal Highness King Qin's hair crown, with a smile on their faces.

"Sir, don't smile, where the etiquette is."

Li Shimin pretended to be calm and asked Chu Zhen to get in the car first.

The Son of Heaven did not add yuan clothes, with empty top black cloth, double children's buns, double jade guides, and treasure ornaments.

Chu Zhen said with a smile: "Didn't the ancients become princes when they grew up?" But, you wait, I'll take a picture of you! ”

"Don't!"

Li Shimin decisively refused, turned around and got into the car first.

Chu Zhen smiled, he was not in a hurry, there was still a chance later!

Today, the crown prince is established, and the etiquette is particularly grand, and Li Shimin actually violates etiquette by getting on the car like this.

But Chu Zhen stood aside, and Du Ruhui, who was named the prince's left concubine, could only pretend not to see it and shouted: "Foreign Affairs Office!" ”

It means that the prince will travel, inform everyone, and guard the palace.

Then after a series of rituals such as "please stop the power", "the courtiers get on the horse" and "please send a guide", hundreds of civil and military palace ministers and hundreds of guards of the Qin Wangfu slowly walked west.

Li Shimin's ride is not called a car, but is called a chariot (lu).

Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, the carriage of the three divisions is in front of the training; The three carriages of the young master, the young master, and the young guard followed.

The eighteen scholars of the Literature Museum, the military generals of the Qin Palace, and the newly appointed officials of the Prince's Mansion also rode behind them, sounding cymbals all the way, and marched towards the north gate of Chang'an together.

When he came to Chang'an, Chu Zhen opened the curtain and saw that there were crowds of people on both sides of the road, and the people of Chang'an stretched their necks to watch the prince's motorvoy arrive, and the eager discussions continued.

Li Shimin became the crown prince, which can be said to be expected by everyone.

The team came to Chengtianmen, Chu Zhen and Li Shimin's carriage entered through the main gate, and the rest of the people entered through the side gate.

After entering the Chengtian Gate, he entered the Jiade Gate, and finally came to the front of the Taiji Palace.

The cymbal blew stopped, and Du Ruhui, the left concubine, came to the chariot and knelt down to play.

That is, to ask the crown prince Li Shimin to get out of the car.

The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not need to kneel when they met, but today's etiquette is different, and the cumbersome and solemn degree makes Chu Zhen breathtaking.

"Please get out of the car, sir."

After Li Shimin got out of the car, the first thing he did was to ask Chu Zhen to get out of the car, using colloquial language, not using a descending word to refer to him.

Chu Zhen asked Li Shimin to go first.

Under the guidance of the Sheren, everyone finally entered the Taiji Palace.

The ceremony was presided over by Chen Shuda, a provincial attendant under the door.

Chu Zhen did not sit down, and stood in an inconspicuous corner of the hall to record the process of appointing Li Shimin as the crown prince.

Everything is ready, the personnel are all ready, after Chen Shuda's version is played, the bell rings, the drum music starts, Li Yuan walked out of the west room of the Taiji Palace, sat on the throne, Fu Baolang Fengbao stood in front of the throne, and Xielu Lang ordered the drum music to stop.

Bye, pray, pray.

On the throne, Li Yuan sat and watched Li Shimin and the hundred officials bow down, thinking of when Dalang was appointed as the crown prince, alas, now......

He looked at a corner of the hall, Mr. Chu didn't know what he was holding in his hand, like a very short wat board, he didn't bow to him, but used the wat board to face everyone.

Alas, sir.

"Please give your Majesty the seal."

The Zhongshu waiter came to ask, and Li Yuan replied: "Granted." ”

So the Zhongshu Shilang took the seal book and handed it over to the Zhongshu Order, which was originally concurrently served by the King of Qin, and at this moment it was the Yu Wenshi and the Zhongshu Order.

"Made."

Yu Wenshi unfolded the "Edict of the King of Qin as the Crown Prince", and read: "The weight of the second prince, the style is solid, and there is a good yuan, and the kingdom is chaste." General Tiance, Taiwei, Shang Shuling, Shaanxi Dongdao Daxingtai...... Shangzhu State, Qin Wang Shimin. ”

Tiance Mansion is gone, but the person who wrote the edict still added it, after all, this title cannot be added in the future.

“…… He can be made the crown prince. The priest has a gift, and the time is right! ”

After the edict was read, Li Shimin bowed again, stepped forward to accept the book, stepped back, and handed the book to Du Ruhui, the son of the left concubine.

At this point, Li Shimin officially became the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Yu Wenshi was about to order everyone to return to the throne, and the ceremony ended after the worship, but Li Yuan stopped him and said, "I heard that Mr. Chu is going to send a congratulatory gift to the crown prince, and now that Mr. Chu is also here, let him go to the palace." ”

Everyone looked at Chu Zhen together.
