Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

The next day, Li Ke came back from martial arts training at the school, had breakfast, put on court clothes under the service of Lan Ershi, and went straight to the Tai Chi Hall accompanied by Xiao Baozi and guarded by Chen Qi.Today is October [-]th. As the prince, he will attend the court meeting twice a month.

After getting off at Chengtianmen, Li Ke asked Chen Qi to wait, and brought Xiao Baozi to the Taiji Hall in the early dynasty.There is still half a quarter before Maoshi, Li Ke, like everyone else, can only wait in front of the Tai Chi Hall.During the waiting period, Li Ke saluted and greeted everyone one by one.

And Li Tai appeared in front of everyone shortly after Li Ke arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, which gave Li Ke the illusion that Li Tai always likes to appear not long after he arrives.Now that he is named King of Wei, he is no longer as depressed as Li Chengqian was when he was canonized as the prince at the beginning. He is full of energy, kind and courteous, which makes it easy for people to feel close to him.No wonder historical records show that he and Li Chengqian were evenly matched even without the support of power officials like Changsun Wuji and Li Ji.

The key is that his style made those officials in the middle and lower reaches feel respected and aware of their opportunities. Therefore, they supported Li Tai, and Li Tai was able to gain a firm foothold in the court.Li Tai's approach is in line with the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside. There are only a few senior officials in the Tang Dynasty, and there are still many who support Li Chengqian. Even if he wins some of them to support him, he may not be able to fight. Win the eldest grandson Wuji.

Therefore, he took the grassroots route and established relationships with middle- and lower-level officials.When Li Shimin was in power, the court paid great attention to discussion. He liked to let the officials discuss state affairs. In this way, these officials were also quite a force.Thinking of this, Li Ke had to admire Li Tai's resourcefulness, he is not a simple character, he can come up with such a curve to fight for reserves.At this moment, Li Tai came to his side, bowed and said: "Qing Que has seen the third brother, I heard that the third brother has moved to the Han Palace, I miss him very much."

Li Ke said affectionately: "Thank you for my brother's concern for the fourth brother, and the fourth brother can come to my Hanwang Mansion to talk about it when he has time."

Li Tai said respectfully: "Third Brother's invitation, if I dare not to obey, I will definitely go to the Third Brother's house to chatter when I have time."

The two chatted happily, and suddenly saw Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji approaching slowly, Li Ke and Li Tai saluted them, Li Ke said a few polite words to Li Chengqian, and at this time Feng Deyi and Xiao The two came slowly.The three had no choice but to stand up step by step, waiting for Li Shimin to meet and enter the court.

The discussions in the early court were all unresolved matters, so it was inevitable to argue endlessly. Li Ke, Li Tai, and Li Chengqian had no right to speak because they were still young.Letting them attend the early court was only for Li Shimin to cultivate their ability to govern Anbang.Therefore, they listened in great detail and kept thinking silently, so as to be ready to answer Li Shimin's questions at any time.

Li Ke lowered his head, only listening to Feng Deyi's slow voice: "I want to report to the emperor, the old minister thinks that the emperor has been enthroned for three months, and the matter of the year name cannot be delayed, and a decision should be made early."

When Feng Deyi said this, everyone agreed. Many of them were the masterminds and accomplices of the coup d'état. They helped Li Shi snatch the crown prince from Li Jiancheng, and forced him to take his throne from Li Yuan. Zen gave way to Li Shimin.Therefore, using Wude's year name, they always feel uncomfortable in their hearts. Now that Feng Deyi has brought it up, how can they be unhappy and not support it.

Therefore, they all said loudly: "The emperor should determine the year name."

"I hope that the emperor will make a decision early, so there should be no delay." Immediately, everyone in the hall was arguing with each other.

Li Shimin really couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't say anything. He stipulated that the court meeting could be discussed and not pursued.Now, if he wanted to investigate how these ministers were too presumptuous in front of him, it would obviously show that he was not arrogant enough, so he remained silent.

At this time, Changsun Wuji stood up in a timely manner and shouted: "It's not proper for the court to quarrel like this."

Everyone obviously didn't expect someone to scold them, so they hurriedly kept silent and looked at Changsun Wuji involuntarily.Especially Feng Deyi and Xiao, they were very dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji's ignorance of current affairs, they both scolded in their hearts, their ministers and servants didn't say anything, what qualifications do you, a minister of officials, have to yell at everyone.

I wanted to stand up and accuse Changsun Wuji of being innocent of the monarch, but seeing that Li Shimin was very satisfied with Changsun Wuji's performance just now, he knew that the emperor favored him, and both of them were veterans in the officialdom, so naturally they knew this Time can't blame Changsun Wuji.So, finally no more words.

Li Ke could see all this clearly. When Changsun Wuji yelled at the important officials in the court, Li Shimin not only did not blame him, but also praised him. This shows that Li Shimin really favored Changsun Wuji. No wonder historical records, Li Shimin thought Why didn't I discuss it with everyone when I made myself the crown prince, but I had to discuss it with Changsun Wuji alone, mainly because I trusted him too much.Li Ke couldn't help gaining a new understanding of Changsun Wuji, and thus became more wary of him.

Li Shimin waited for everyone to calm down, and then slowly said: "When I became the throne, there were a lot of big and small things, and I was too busy. Therefore, the matter of this reign has been delayed until now. Since Feng Deyi brought it up today, you Everyone just think about what year name I should use."

When everyone saw Li Shimin asking them to talk, they immediately talked about it, you say yours, I say mine.At this time, Feng Deyi was no longer unwilling to lag behind, and shouted loudly to the crowd: "I report to the emperor, I think it is better to use 'Shunde', let God's will, and benevolent to the world."

As soon as Feng Deyi finished speaking, Changsun Wuji objected: "Your Majesty, I think it is most appropriate to use 'Yongchang'." After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, when Feng Deyi was about to refute, he listened to the minister's right servant and shot Xiao: "My minister agrees with Master Feng's opinion." Xiao said this purely because Changsun Wuji stole his limelight just now, and he couldn't understand his arrogance. Number.

All of a sudden, there were many people who supported Changsun Wuji, and there were quite a few who supported Feng Deyi, and there was chaos in the court.Li Shimin saw that if he didn't reprimand, this group of people would have to go to heaven, so he shouted: "It's so noisy, don't you think the court hall is a vegetable market?"

When Li Shimin roared, everyone knelt down and said: "I am guilty, and I hope the emperor will atone for it."

Li Ke knelt down with the crowd, thinking in his heart that the difference between the emperor and the ministers is here. No matter how high the official position is, if you yell at the ministers, everyone just stops talking, but when the emperor yells, everyone can only kneel down and plead guilty for the sake.But what he didn't expect was that when everyone knelt down and begged for mercy, Li Shimin observed his expression from a high place. Seeing that he didn't care about it, he seemed to have a plan in mind, so he asked: "Li Ke, Which year name do you think I should use?"

Li Ke was taken aback by Li Shimin's question, and hurriedly said, "I'm young, so I don't dare to make a judgment on such an important matter."

Li Shimin heard him say that he didn't dare to say it casually, so he knew that he had an idea in his heart, so he said: "Just say it, I will make my own decision whether to use it or not."

Li Ke regretted endlessly in his heart. He just wanted to tell Li Shimin that I am young and have not yet reached the time to decide such a big matter, so I can't just say it, and you can't just listen to me.It's just that Li Shimin didn't expect him to misunderstand what he meant.Li Ke was secretly worried, what should he do?

Seeing that Li Ke was silent, Li Shimin couldn't help shouting: "Li Ke, didn't you hear what I just said?"

Shocked by Li Shimin's shout, Li Ke blurted out: "Zhen Guan."

Li Shimin was about to criticize Li Ke's attitude when he suddenly heard the word "Zhenguan".At this time, Feng Deyi said: "Your Majesty, the word "Zhenguan" mentioned by His Royal Highness King of Han, I think it is very good. "Yi Da Zhuan" said: The way of heaven and earth is the one who watches Zhenguan; Zhen: the principle of heaven and earth is in Zhengzheng View: To show people. The two characters represent the way of heaven and earth, which is to tell the subjects of the world what the emperor does, and follow the will of heaven." Feng Deyi is a man of knowledge, and after some explanations, he makes sense.The more Li Shimin listened to it, the more he felt it made sense, and he asked Fang Xuanling, "Fang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin was asking for his opinion, which meant that Li Shimin had already agreed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I agree with the word 'Zhenguan' of His Royal Highness King of Han."

Li Shimin scanned the crowd below with his gaze, finally fixed on Du Ruhui, and asked, "Aiqing, what do you think?"

Du Ruhui also felt that these two words had a new meaning, and they were very suitable for such a talented and prosperous emperor like Li Shimin, so he said: "I also agree with the word 'Zhenguan' of His Highness the King of Han."

Seeing that Li Shimin's most trusted people supported him, why not support him, they immediately expressed their attitude.At this time, Feng Deyi shouted appropriately: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is so talented, it is the blessing of the emperor, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty."

The people who supported Feng Deyi heard what the boss said, and they dared to lag behind, so they also shouted: "His Royal Highness is smart, and it is really a blessing of the Tang Dynasty." Anyway, there are a lot of good things to say, It made Li Ke get goosebumps when he heard it.

Li Ke had expected the result when he said these two words. Although he didn't see anything in Changsun Wuji's eyes, he saw Li Chengqian's slightly resentful eyes and Li Tai's vigilant expression. Shen, I don't know what price I will pay for the word "Zhenguan" that I accidentally said today. It's God's will, so what can I do.Therefore, Li Ke didn't want to listen to other things discussed by everyone, and he was in a daze, and he followed the officials out of the Tai Chi Hall after a while.

After leaving the main hall, Li Ke greeted everyone one by one. It was obvious that Li Chengqian and Li Tai were already wary of him, but Li You spoke kindly to him, which he did not expect.

After everyone left, Li Ke went to Liangyi Hall where Li Shimin handled the government.

Li Shimin had just left the morning court and came to Liangyi Hall. He thought about the two words Li Ke said just now, and felt that it was very suitable for him, so he couldn't help but feel sorry for his son.
