The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

After leaving Du Rui's mansion, Taizong specially called Li Chengqian into his car tent, frowning tightly, with a preoccupied look.

When Li Chengqian saw it, he couldn't help asking: "Father! But what else is on your mind?"

Seeing Taizong not speaking, Li Chengqian said again: "Father, are you still worried about how to deal with the Turks?"

Taizong shook his head, looked at Li Chengqian, he loved his son's benevolence and obedience, and was worried about his son's cowardice, and said, "Damn! Look at Du Chengming, is he someone who can entrust important matters?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, he naturally guessed that there was something in Taizong's words, and hurriedly said: "My father thinks that Du Chengming is so wise at his age, and I am worried that he will be harmful to the country and society in the future!"

Taizong sighed: "I don't want to be suspicious, but this Du Rui, I can't see through him at all. If you want to talk about his temperament, he is also very weak in terms of fame. Last time I ordered a reward, he thought it would be too much." I refused without thinking, but the more he is like this, the more I can't let go of this matter in my heart, Ganer! Ask yourself how you compare to him!"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, then smiled wryly: "Chengming is full of talent, but also possesses a strategic strategy. His son is indeed inferior, even the third brother, and the fourth brother is far inferior to him!"

Taizong nodded and said: "That's true. Although you brothers can be regarded as smart since childhood, they are still a lot worse than this Du Chengming. I think it is the 12-year-old Gan Luo who is the prime minister, and the eleven-year-old. The eight-year-old Zhou Gongjin, who commanded thousands of troops, is also a bit inferior compared to him. I should use such a person in the past, but now the general ministers in the court are about the same age as me. Although I want to stay Here it is, I thought it would be helpful, but it is unlikely, only this Du Rui, if he is dedicated to the country in the future, he should be named Qingshi, once~~~~~~~~~~"

Li Chengqian couldn't help being moved when he heard Taizong's words from the bottom of his heart, and said: "Father, don't worry, my son expects that Du Chengming will definitely not be a disaster for the country. If Chengming is greedy for power, how could he return it when his father gave him a reward last time?" Will refuse, my son dares to guarantee, now all the ministers in this court have selfish intentions, either for fame or profit, only Du Chengming has a magnanimous heart, otherwise, every time the father and the son ask for advice, he will not Knowing everything and saying everything, with Du Chengming's wisdom, will he not know how to choose between advances and retreats?"

Taizong couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words. Li Chengqian, who had always been looked down upon by him, had actually seen what he hadn't thought of. He couldn't help but think that what Li Chengqian said was indeed good. You don't know that if you show your sharpness, you must be controlled by others, and you don't know that there are some things that cannot be said, and some things are unreasonable.

Thinking of this, the doubts in Taizong's heart were all gone, and when he got in touch with Du Rui's pleasure-seeking temperament, he no longer had any doubts, and said with a smile: "God! I always think you have no opinions, but I never thought that you have the same experience."

To be praised by Taizong is the happiest thing for Li Chengqian. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Father, for your compliment!"

The more Taizong looked at this eldest son now, the more satisfied he was. Not only was he filial to himself, but he also had the knowledge of people. As a successful king, it is not easy to have such aptitude.

"Come on! I think this Du Rui's talent has not been fully revealed. Although he is young, he has the talents of the world. From now on, you should show more kindness and make him a confidant, and ask Du Chengming for advice when you are in trouble. Be helpful!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your minister leads the order!"

The car drove into the inner city of the palace, Taizong was in a good mood, the Turkic matter had been decided, and he thought he could sleep peacefully tonight.

The next day, Emperor Taizong couldn't tolerate the noise of the ministers headed by Kong Yingda, so he immediately promulgated an imperial decree, saying: Turks have no faith. Duer, Qibi Heli, Zhishisili and other ministries were relocated to the people, and the rest of the heinous tribes were all sent to various places, responsible for restorative roads and clearing rivers.

When Kong Yingda heard the words, he immediately cried out as if mourning his concubine: "The Holy Majesty's actions are against the way of the Holy King. How can we convince the people of the world if we use force to make people submit."

Taizong thought for a long time last night about Du Rui's strategy of bullying both inside and outside, and then said: "If you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, you can make the world peaceful and the universe peaceful. Why did Liu Han lose his country?"

Relying on his prestige among the scholars, Kong Yingda retorted loudly: "Then what the sage did is no different from the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty? Our Tang Dynasty is a huge country, and we can't tolerate a Turk. How can we say that we are kings in the world!?"

Taizong was not angry, and started a debate with Kong Yingda in court, saying: "The tyranny of Qin died because of harsh laws, and Liu Han died because of his words of benevolence and righteousness, but he forgot what it means to be overbearing. From now on, my kingly way will only be imposed on the country. The people of the Great Tang are bathed in the king's virtue, and as for those foreigners who spy on our Great Tang world, I just want to be domineering, let them know the strength of my Great Tang soldiers, and if they don't obey, I will beat them to their heart's content!"

Kong Yingda still refused to give up, and said: "The Holy Majesty has done such a thing, I am afraid that what is left in the history books is only the order of a tyrant!"

Taizong didn't expect Kong Yingda, an old dude, to be so stubborn, so he couldn't help being angry. He jumped up against the case and shouted: "If you say so, I will be afraid. If I can make all the people of Tang Dynasty in the world feel the name of a tyrant Live a happy life, take care of the old, teach the young, why should I be afraid of the name of this tyrant, Kong Yingda! You are also a great Confucian in the world, have you ever thought that when the Turks invaded my border court and killed my people, what would they do? I thought about benevolence, righteousness and morality.”

Kong Yingda was at a loss for words when asked, but still insisted: "The barbarians don't understand etiquette, so we have to educate them with benevolence and morality, let them know how to be grateful, and this world will naturally be peaceful!"

Taizong sneered again and again when he heard this, and said: "In this case, next time there are foreign offenders, you will stand on the top of the city and preach benevolence to them! I have promulgated an imperial edict on this matter, so I will do it! I still have In a word, from now on, anyone who offends my Great Tang Tianwei will be dealt with as an example!"

Changsun Wuji was the first to pay his respects and said, "My emperor is wise! This strategy is a strategy for long-term peace and stability! I believe that in the future, those alien races who want to offend my Great Tang Tianwei must be terrified."

Fang Xuanling also came out of class to pay homage: "The minister will reconsider!"

Li Chengqian followed suit and said, "My minister also reconsiders!"

The civil and military men of the whole court fell to their knees, only those who were as full of benevolence, righteousness and morality as Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Xiao Yu and others, Taizong looked at it with a meaningful smile, got up and left.

In the Chengqing Hall, Taizong was chatting with Changsun Wuji. The two of them were named monarchs and ministers. They were actually close friends. They had been together since they were young, studying and practicing martial arts together. Then, after more than twenty years, the relationship between the two has already surpassed that of master and servant. Although Taizong is now enthroned and proclaimed emperor, the relationship between the two has not changed.

"Auxiliary machine! Then Du Rui, I really don't know how to deal with it!" Although Taizong no longer had doubts about Du Rui, he still had some doubts in his heart. The key is that Du Rui is really outstanding, so outstanding that it is enough to be a crisis The state of Sheji Jiangshan.

Although Du Rui can still assist Li Chengqian loyally now, who knows what will happen when that young man grows up?

Changsun Wuji also heard about Du Rui, but he didn't have such worries, and persuaded him: "I view Du Rui, he has a simple temperament, and he has a friendly heart towards the prince. People like this should not would do something unbearable."

Taizong smiled and said: "Although that's what I said, who can say what will happen in the future? I also hope that Gan'er and Du Rui can work together to take care of the Tang Dynasty like you and me. It's all right, I hope he doesn't live up to my expectations of him."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "As long as His Highness shows sincerity, I think that Du Rui can be His Highness' arm."

Taizong nodded, and suddenly thought of his sons. Although Li Chengqian was kind-hearted and looked like an elder at a young age, he was too cowardly. As for Li Tai, although he was very smart since he was a child, he gave off a gloomy feeling. The city is too deep and his temper is too cold. As for the other sons, they have not grown up yet, and they don't know what will happen in the future. Think about it Go, there is no one who can compare with Du Rui, this can't help but make Taizong a little frustrated, he sighed, and said: "Du Keming compares me to this, and he should be like Du Chengming when he has a child!"

Changsun Wuji was even more surprised when he saw that Taizong had also sighed like Cao Cao.
