Chapter 33 Well said

"Actually, the emperor dismissed you not just because you had a quarrel with me in the court."

"I think Mr. Chen should be aware that his thinking is a little behind the development."

"I hope Lord Chen can understand father."

[After all, there was a friendship of life and death before, how could it be so easy to disappear. 】

【Oh, really, I'm really upset that Li Shimin wants me to be the peacemaker. 】

Chen Shuda took a deep breath, nodded in silence for a long time, knelt down in front of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and kowtowed a few times.

"Your Majesty, I know what your Majesty means, and I also understand that no matter where your majesty is, as long as your majesty needs it, your majesty will definitely share your worries."

Seeing Chen Shuda's words, Li Chengqian's eyes became slightly moist.

I saw this scene in TV dramas or books before, and I always felt a little hypocritical.

But seeing such a scene now, I still can't help feeling in my heart, there is a little more inexplicable taste.

In Li Chengqian's memory, the friendship between Chen Shuda and Li Shimin for many years can be described as life and death brothers.

However, Chen Shuda is safe to stay away from the court. After all, with his state, he will only be killed if he stays.

Li Shimin nodded and stepped forward to help Chen Shuda up.

Seeing the two people as if they were parting for life and death, Li Chengqian felt speechless for a while and rolled his eyes.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian felt a sharp gaze looking at him, turned his head and happened to meet Li Shimin's gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly laughed.

"Master Chen's words made me want to sigh with emotion, if you live in a high temple and worry about your people, if you are far away from the rivers and lakes and worry about your ruler, you should be Master Chen."

Originally, Li Chengqian just said it casually, but he didn't expect his words to make Li Shimin's body tremble slightly, and Chen Shuda stood up in silence.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Shuda looked at Li Chengqian with admiration in his eyes, and bowed deeply to him.

"The eldest prince's words can benefit this old minister for the rest of his life. In the future, what the eldest prince says will be the direction of my lifelong efforts. Your Majesty, I will definitely protect this people for your majesty."

Speaking to the rear, Chen Shuda knelt down to Li Shimin again.

This time Li Shimin helped him up as before, but now their hearts have undergone a huge change.

And all this is because of what Li Chengqian said.

He lives high in the temple and worries about his people; he lives far away in the rivers and lakes and worries about his king.

When Chen Shuda left, Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian.

[Great, great, this thing is finally gone, now it's finally my turn, I can leave when things are done. 】

【Looking at this face next to Li Shimin is really uncomfortable. 】

[The pressure in front of Li Shimin is outrageous. 】

[I really miss playing with Xiao Cui, planting cotton, and sleeping on a recliner in the East Palace. 】

"Chengqian, I didn't expect you to have such ambition in your heart. It was I who looked down on you before."

Sighing, Li Shimin's eyes were full of emotion.

However, due to Li Chengqian's thought of leaving soon, Li Shimin still slapped him on the forehead.

"Father, as the eldest son of the father, this is what you should do, so that you can set a good example for your younger brothers."

"well said!"

Li Shimin immediately clapped his hands and looked at Li Chengqian with bright eyes. Since he had experienced killing his brothers, it was great to see his sons living in peace.

"This is how you look like the eldest son, instead of bringing others to the brothel every day! Thinking about doing business every day!"

And at this moment, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui walked in.

The sudden appearance of these two people made Li Chengqian bewildered.

Then, under Li Chengqian's puzzled eyes, the two walked up to Li Shimin and saluted.

"Wei Chen greets His Majesty."

"Two lovers live together"

Li Shimin quickly asked them to stand up and looked at Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanling with a smile.

"Why did I let the two of you come over, the two lovers understand in their hearts?"

"What your Majesty thinks, the ministers can't fully understand, I hope your Majesty will tell you a thing or two."

"I'm thinking, with the establishment of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, the official positions of the Tang Dynasty must be reformed now."

"Three provinces and six ministries have to be changed, can the two lovers have a good plan?"

[You can just sum up the lessons learned from the demise of the Sui Dynasty. 】

[If you want to continue to use the three provinces formed since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, you need to re-define the powers of the three provinces and the relationship between them. 】

[At least it must be confirmed that the power of the monarchy has been further strengthened, and that various departments can supervise and promote each other. 】

[In this way, the abuses of those officials in the country can be effectively eliminated. 】

As soon as the question was asked, Li Shimin heard that Li Chengqian already had a countermeasure in mind.

Listening to Li Chengqian's thoughts, Li Shimin roughly had some plans in his mind.

Li Shimin raised his hand and rubbed his chin a few times, then turned around and sat on the dragon chair with a thoughtful look on his face.

It is indeed possible to follow the policies of the previous three provinces.

But it is necessary to sum up the lessons learned when the Sui Dynasty fell.

Datang must not be allowed to follow in his footsteps.

Fang Xuanling, the two looked at each other, and after a short period of silence, each gave his own thoughts.

It's a pity that Li Shimin doesn't like these ideas very much.

Either the monarch's power was too diffuse, or the order could not be communicated better.

Just when Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the other three were frowning, Li Shimin suddenly heard a mocking voice next to him.

[Is this Fang Mou's judgment?Not that good either. 】

[It's just a reform of the official position, is it that complicated? 】

[Let Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui serve as the left and right servants of Shang Shuxing respectively. 】

[These two people are so loyal to you, having the two of them in this position will definitely ensure the delivery of orders, and it will also benefit the promotion policy in the future. 】

[The next step is to establish the Ministry of Education, just divide it up in a mess, I really don’t know what to think about. 】

With such thoughts in his heart, Li Chengqian put his hands behind his back and sighed for a while.

But Li Chengqian, who was looking down at the ground, didn't notice that Li Shimin's eyes were already shining a bit when he was looking at him.

Fang Xuanling and Fang Xuanling were expressing their opinions, but after hearing no response, they looked up at Li Shimin, only to find that Li Shimin had been staring at Li Chengqian.

Even a little distracted, the two of them yelled several times, but Li Shimin didn't respond.

Instead, Li Chengqian woke up first.

【what's the situation?What was I just doing? 】

[What were they discussing just now, why am I lost in thought? 】

Li Shimin came back to his senses only after hearing Li Chengqian's confused expression.

"Chengqian, did you listen to the issues we discussed just now?"

"Go back to Emperor Father, all the ministers are listening."

[Sure enough, I'm afraid of something! 】

【This dog emperor doesn't want me to help him with his advice, oh my! 】

[I don't understand anything, I don't understand anything! 】

He muttered to himself for a while, but no matter what he thought in his heart, Li Shimin's words directly brought him back to reality.

"Then tell me your opinion, what should be done in the next bureaucratic reform?"

【You know it yourself, why do you still ask me? 】

【What I'm talking about is what you will do later anyway, can't you use your brains? 】

[With such a father on the stall, I’m afraid I won’t be able to live forever. 】
