Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Wang Xuance moved very quickly, and it took only one day to screen the people in the Governor's Mansion.

Those who are guilty will be sent to jail, while those who are innocent will return to their posts.

He said that Li Shen was acting as the governor, but that was actually what he said. With his lazy temperament, how could he go to court every day?

Everything still had to be handled by Wang Xuance, and Li Shen even said that he wanted Wang Xuance to exercise.

After reading the memorial written by Wang Xuance, Li Shen stamped it with his own seal, signed it with his own signature, and asked the post office to hurry up and send it to Chang'an.

Li Shen, on the other hand, opened the blind box in the governor's mansion.

"Wow, such a big pearl is so beautiful."

"Wow, Chunxiang, look at this jade, isn't it beautiful?"

"Wow, it actually has bloodstone. It's so beautiful, but it's a little small."

Li Shen took his two personal maids and sat next to a pile of boxes to start his treasure hunting journey.

~~Invisible~~~

In the early morning, as soon as the gate of Chang'an City opened, a fast horse drove towards the palace.

Today is the day to go to court. In the Tang Dynasty, a court was held every ten days, which meant that the court was held every ten days. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been every five days.

Many people think that the workload is reduced, but they are wrong. How can the boss let employees work less?

The Tang Dynasty changed the original five-day holiday to a ten-day holiday, that is, the original two-day holiday was changed to one-day holiday.

Not going to court does not mean not going to work. When not going to court, officials still have to go to work, or discuss matters with Li Shimin, or handle government affairs.

The previous meeting was just a regular meeting to summarize what happened in the past ten days and see if there was anything that could not be resolved.

At this moment, as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tang Jian was reporting how much food, supplies, etc. were sent to the army in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.

Many officials, especially officials from aristocratic families, had opinions about the Eastern Expedition.

"Your Majesty, now the Eastern Expedition has consumed two years of tax revenue and food from our Tang Dynasty, and has recruited 40 people to work. Such a waste of people and money, I am afraid it will damage the foundation."

Zheng Jingsi, the minister of Zhongshu, advised him.

This was Li Shimin's first court meeting since he came back, and everyone had to give him some face.

Li Shimin did not speak, but glanced at Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji understood instantly and retorted:

"Shilang Zheng's words are wrong. Now our Eastern Expeditionary Army has occupied a large area. This year we will be able to occupy the entire west of the Yalu River.

By then, our country, the Tang Dynasty, will have a large territory. The people here will be the people of our country, and there will be vast land for cultivating food.

There are also rich mineral resources. This is something that benefits the people. Why does Zheng Shilang say that it damages the foundation?

Moreover, our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and our Eastern Expeditionary Army is actually to save the thousands of suffering people in Goguryeo.

You must also be aware of the battle reports that came back. Goguryeo has been fighting for years, and the people are in dire straits. They even exchange children for food, which is like a purgatory on earth.

We are going to rescue them. Is there anything wrong with that? "

Changsun Wuji's words left Zheng Jingsi speechless. He cursed Changsun Wuji secretly in his heart for saving the people. We are all foxes on the same mountain. What are you talking about with me?

Who didn't know that they would take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the chaotic situation in Goguryeo to invade Goguryeo.

"I don't agree with what Changsun Pushe said. Goguryeo has always been a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. Now we want to take advantage of it. This is really not what a big country should do."

Lu Chengqing, Minister Zuocheng, stood up and said.

Changsun Wuji saw that he actually dared to form a group to fight. He was about to start the battle mode when Li Shimin, who was sitting above him, spoke.

"Prince, what do you think of the words of your two beloved ministers?"

Everyone was stunned, what is going on? Hasn't His Majesty already sent a general? Why did the prince get married again?

Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said to Li Shimin:

"Going back to Aye, our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and we must be the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Moreover, the former Sui Dynasty was because it exhausted the national power and the people were in dire straits, so everyone rebelled against the former Sui Dynasty. Even though the country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish."

As soon as Li Chengqian opened his mouth, the ministers below were all shocked. They didn't expect that Li Chengqian actually agreed.

The old ministers all frowned.

Only Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said:

"Well, you're right, keep talking."

Li Chengqian continued:

"However, there is another saying that although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Over the years, although our country, the Tang Dynasty, is peaceful and the people are safe, and people from all over the world come to court,

But more and more people have forgotten the power of the Tang Dynasty. The surrounding Xiaoxiao continue to challenge the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. This is true of Tubo, Xue Yantuo, and Goguryeo.

If we don't use thunderous means to give them a heavy blow, they will become even more unscrupulous and think that we, the Tang Dynasty, are weak and can be bullied.

Therefore, destroying Goguryeo is a necessary method. The tenth brother once said that this is called diplomatic means. Fight one group and win over another group.

Destroy those who resist us and win over us. "

Li Chengqian finished speaking in one breath, and there was silence in the court. Even Li Tai and Li Zhi looked at their eldest brother,

Over the years, has your eldest brother become so eloquent?

But no matter how you look at it, it feels familiar.

"I think His Highness the Crown Prince is right. Although a big country must behave like a big country, it must also always... Well, what did King Ji say?" Fang Xuanling stopped mid-sentence.

"Show off your muscles." Li Chengqian reminded.

"That's right, you have to show off your muscles from time to time, so that the surrounding countries can see the power of my Datang and intimidate Xiaoxiao."

Fang Xuanling agreed with Li Shen's statement about showing off muscles.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such foresight and has made such great progress. This is really due to His Majesty." Changsun Wuji immediately followed.

The two servants on the left and right said so, and the officials below quickly agreed. The officials of the noble family had prepared their speeches, but now they had to stop.

They had received a lot of financial gifts from the Goguryeo envoys. Although they knew it would be difficult to get Tang Dynasty to withdraw its troops, they could only give it a try using other people's methods.

"Report~~~~His Royal Highness Prince Yuki's urgent memorial." Someone came to report from outside.

The courtiers were stunned after hearing this, and even Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but sigh, King Ji is still King Ji, and other people's memorials must be sent to the minister first, even if they are urgent.

Only this young prince would send memorials directly to the emperor, and he didn't care about their Shangshu Province at all.

"Bring it up." Li Shimin said.

Soon Wang De handed the memorial to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened it and saw that it was not Li Shen's handwriting, but he recognized the handwriting. Eighty percent of the memorials in Prince Ji's Mansion were written by Wang Xuance.

Li Shimin once wanted to promote Wang Xuance to the imperial court, but Wang Xuance declined.

He also caused Li Shen to be reprimanded by Li Shimin, and then Li Shen returned to his home and reprimanded Wang Xuance again, scolding him for not living up to expectations.

(The small history class has begun.

To put it simply, this is how Ma Zhou was selected by Li Shimin. Ma Zhou's family was poor, and later he came to Chang'an and stayed in the house of Zhonglang General Chang He.

Once Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered hundreds of officials to submit a letter to discuss the gains and losses of the government. Chang He said that the military attache did not understand the government, so Ma Zhou wrote a memorial for Chang He stating more than 20 suggestions that would benefit the country, and asked him to submit a memorial.

Everything was in line with Tang Taizong's wishes. Tang Taizong suspected that Chang He did not have such talent and asked Chang He.

Chang He said: "I don't have this ability. It was written by my guest Ma Zhou. Every time he talks to his ministers, he always takes loyalty and filial piety as his purpose."

Tang Taizong summoned Ma Zhou on the same day. Before Ma Zhou arrived, Tang Taizong sent people to urge him four times. After Ma Zhou came, Tang Taizong had a pleasant discussion with him and asked him to serve in Menxia Province.

Ma Zhou is the prime minister, so remember it. Bragging works.

get out of class is over. )
