Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 636
After the last incident of Li Shimin's fraudulent death, Gao Ming once again presided over the court, and his efficient way of governing also greatly improved the knowledge of civil and military officials.

Officials take two to three minutes to come up with a problem and a solution, and Gao Ming will give an answer of yes or no.

To this end, he also gave a reward and punishment system.

If there is no solution to the problem, or the solution does not satisfy Gao Ming, and he says "disagree", then the official will be punished by halving the salary of the month.

Once an official has been punished three times in total, it means that his ability is not worthy of the current position, and he will be automatically demoted by one rank. If he is downgraded by more than three ranks, he will be expelled from the court and never hired.

Conversely, once the officials raise issues and provide valuable solutions, Gao Ming will also give corresponding rewards.

And the rewards are very clichéd, just the same thing - promotion and money!

Although the civil and military officials didn't say anything about this clichéd practice, it can be seen from their fiery eyes that they like this kind of reward very much.

As a result, the officials began to show their talents to the fullest, and the early court discussions became very efficient. Unless there were special circumstances, the court meeting never lasted more than an hour.

Under such circumstances, Gao Ming was also much more relaxed. He simply changed the time of the early court from the third quarter of Mao Shi to the third quarter of Shen Shi, directly pushing it back by an hour.

Of course, this approach also aroused the dissatisfaction of the officials, but after the speaker who made an opinion rewarded Gao Ming with the word "disagree", everyone else shut up.

Suggestions are suggestions, if you lose the official, it's not worth it.

And Gao Ming's governing method has also been highly praised by the officials, and it has been used to the next level, which has completely achieved the same effect!
They even copied Gao Ming's explanations in the courtroom exactly as they were.

"I asked you to be officials to solve my problems. If you can't even solve the problems, what use is it for me to ask you? It's better to let capable people come up. This is called appointment! "

Fortunately, this way of governing is really good. In just a few years, many incompetent officials have been eliminated for Datang. At the same time, many talents have been discovered, and Datang has begun to move in a better direction.

Even Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"My son already has the appearance of a wise emperor. Even Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, is far less brilliant than him!"

Although these words sounded like a compliment to his virtuosity, the clever ministers like Changsun Wuji understood that Li Shimin's words were tantamount to sending out a signal—Zen position!
It turns out they were right.

After the Ministry of Railways built the railway from Datang to Longyou, Li Shimin took the train himself, and immediately took Gao Ming to Mount Tai to sacrifice to heaven after returning.

The Tang Dynasty was a semi-feudal and semi-slavery country, and the idea of ​​the divine power of the king had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Li Shimin's move was obviously preparing for the Zen throne, so all the civil and military officials were ready and quietly waiting for the completion of the power change.

During this period of time, almost every official felt very depressed. After all, since the founding of the country, the two power changes in Datang were extremely bloody, so although it seems calm now, until the last moment, they dare not careless.

Finally, in the middle of the second month after Mount Tai's sacrifice to heaven, Li Shimin suddenly appeared in the early court, and announced in front of all civil and military officials that he would give the Zen seat to Gao Ming.

As soon as the news came out, there was an immediate uproar.

At that time, all the ministers knelt down in the court hall, begging Li Shimin to continue to be the emperor, and several veteran ministers cried bitterly, with reluctance written all over their faces.

And Li Shimin's eyes were reddish, but he went down to help the ministers one by one with his face full of emotion, and told them to help Gao Ming well, the scene was very warm.

But Gao Ming knew that these were all fake, everyone was just acting and going through the motions, if they were serious, they would lose.

So he kept watching all this in silence, until Li Shimin stopped the sensationalism and asked him to make two "reviews on his ascension to the throne", he opened his mouth with a blank expression and a flat tone.

"Seeing everyone's reluctance, I also feel sympathy. The saint has worked hard for my great Tang Dynasty for more than [-] years, created countless great achievements, worked hard every day, and governed even more cautiously, walking on thin ice. He is an example of my struggle. And the leader, today he is about to leave this court, I am so sad that I can't hold it, and the feeling of reluctance makes me cry..."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming realized that he seemed a little fake, looked up at Li Shimin who was beside him with a dull expression, and then at the stunned ministers around him, he thought for a while, and then covered his face with his sleeve.

"It makes me cry, errrrrrrrrrrrr..."

"..."

Damn, this is too lazy to act!

At this time, Li Shimin finally understood what "hypocrisy" is, but what shocked him the most was that he was not angry?

This is so abnormal!

"Have I been so deeply influenced by Gao Ming? Have I gotten used to his incongruity? Is this the so-called 'those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black'? Or is it actually me? In my heart, I don't want to see him elated after winning the throne, but this kind of unwillingness is more in line with my heart? No...it's not like this..."

When Li Shimin fell into self-thinking and negation, Gao Ming's voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Okay, I know that the most important thing is this sense of ritual, but everyone is so familiar, it's enough to make sense, if there is nothing wrong, then retreat!"

Retreat?
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin immediately came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, Gao Ming just turned his head and looked at him.

"Yeah, let's discuss whether the enthronement ceremony can be simpler. Anyway, it's just a matter of changing clothes and lighting incense sticks. It doesn't need to be so grand, just make a point of it. After all, everyone is so busy, what do you think?"

Changing clothes and lighting incense sticks?Do you mean something?
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and then gave him a hard look, "Do you think such a big event as the Zen seat is possible?"

Gao Ming thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Well, I think it's okay, because we are emperors, we want to think that ordinary people dare not think, and ordinary people dare not do, as long as the country is not subjugated, everything is easy to talk about!"

"hiss……"

As soon as Gao Ming said this, everyone present was shocked by his "shocking remarks". Even Li Shimin was stunned for a long time before he squeezed out two words from his teeth.

"fart!"

"it is good!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Gao Ming immediately agreed, then clenched his fists and squatted down, taking a deep breath at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, a series of farting sounded from behind him.

"Puff puff puff puff puff..."

After more than a dozen rings in a row, he slowly stood up, and then raised his chin proudly towards the stunned Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Today I let these farts not to prove how great I am, but to prove that there is nothing in this world that I can't do. There are a total of sixteen farts. You can share one point for more. Count me as a free gift, if it’s not enough, ask me for it!”

"..."
