Li Shimin frowned slightly when he saw Yang Shidao asking Zhang Anan to hand over the memorial. Since there was no court meeting today, how could the matter of road construction leadership be determined with just one memorial? After browsing the content in general... he looked at Li Yuanying and asked, "Aren't you going to settle the score with Cheng Yizhen?"
This is very inconsistent with the young brother's behavior. Is he planning some big move behind him?
"The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention." Li Yuanying held a tea cup and said to Li Shimin humbly. “The law does not care about the heart when it comes to deeds, and there is no perfect person in the world when it comes to heart.”
Filial piety is about the heart but not about deeds, and when it comes to deeds, a poor family has no filial son. This is also the reason why many Phoenix men in later generations have been criticized. It is understandable to have a bad stomach, but you have to be aware of the bad stomach. You cannot let the woman be responsible for the whole family having a bad stomach. Of course, the same is true for Fu Di Mo. After all, the purpose of getting married is to live a better life, not to act as a human cash machine.
The same is true between the monarch and his ministers. They must find the most harmonious balance point to get along with each other. After all, no one is a fool. How to employ people and how to let them maximize their strengths and not care about their minor flaws is a difficult task.
The one who did the best was Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Later, the flying birds were all good, not counting the bows and hiding places. If my son was useless, I could only be regarded as a villain. There was no other way. Then there are the second brother, the people under Aye, the people under the eldest brother, and the people from Fanbang, they are not as good as him, and they basically don't kill heroes, except for those who rebel. Even if there are rumors of rebellion, you will be given a chance to defend yourself, such as Pei Ji, Yuchi Gong, or Hou Junji.
Rather than killing people, the second brother preferred exile and let them contribute to the Lingnan Road of the Tang Dynasty. I deeply believed that I would never let them live in the city of Yan, and they would be prisoners of Chu. Lead the sword into success and live up to the opportunity of being a young man.
Another point is that both Lao Cheng and Xiao Cheng are good people, and they always give people a chance to change. Lao Cheng's Tang version of the Ax Gang is developing well and is preparing to go to Goguryeo to show off its skills. As an attendant, Xiao Cheng did errands for others and never complained about being tired. He was a model of a good young man in the Tang Dynasty.
"Did you hear that? Come out." Li Shimin said towards the screen behind him. "Although my younger brother is lazy and does not do his job properly, he is not indifferent to right from wrong."
Yang Shidao looked at the sky speechlessly: Your Majesty, if your young brother is not doing his job, he can keep the Shaofu, General Supervisor, Ministry of Works and Sinong Temple busy... In addition, the Imperial College, Hongwen Museum, History Museum, Secretary Department and Writings Bureau. If we do our job properly, wouldn't it cost the lives of our veterans?
What would it be like for a strong man to be ashamed? Maybe it would be just a matter of time before the flowers turn back. When Cheng Zhijie walked out coquettishly, Li Yuanying dipped his fingers in tea and washed his eyes. It was so hot, even more so than the first fight between Dugu Yue and the King Kong Rat!
Li Shimin: "..."
I am so envious of my younger brother, and I also want to wash my eyes with tea!
Yang Shidao, Li Jing and Tang Jian did not have Li Shimin's concerns. They just followed Li Yuanying's method and washed their eyes collectively.
Li Zhi: "..."
I still follow Aye in advancing and retreating, and I won’t wash my hands anymore.
Princess Jinyang found it very interesting, dipped her little hands in tea, and filially helped Li Shimin wash his eyes...
...Li Shimin had no reason to reject his daughter's kindness, so of course he accepted it calmly.
"You're almost done. Is it that exaggerated?" Cheng Zhijie sat down directly next to Li Jing and said without any hesitation. I didn't expect that Cui Yizhi would dig such a big hole, leaving me speechless!
Li Jing nodded and said: "It really hurts your eyes. Do you think you are a beautiful woman, left alone and independent?"
Cheng Zhijie: "..."
"Old Cheng, Xiao Cheng is also following Prince Teng now, you have to set a good example, right? Don't do it next time if you are so coy, my eyes really can't bear it." Tang Jian shook his head and sighed.
Yang Shidao said generously: "What are you talking about? Why don't you two have any sense of collegiality? Lao Cheng just walks more elegantly and has a richer expression, but he didn't imitate Emperor Wei Ming's change of clothes! As a human being, you must be content."
Listening to Yang Shidao's words, Cheng Zhijie was very moved. He never expected... Wait, what is Emperor Wei Ming's change of clothes? After slapping the couple, he said angrily: "Yang Shidao, you've gone too far to bully others, so you're only wearing women's clothes!"
"Hahaha..." Li Yuanying was lying on the low couch, beating the surface of the couch wildly. The Jin Book recorded several challenges, but the emperor could not come out because he had left behind the attire of a woman. When he arrived at the Military Advisor Alliance, a middle-aged uncle who loved the Diamond Sutra wore it directly on his body. He faced Wu Hou, who was shaking a feather fan, across the river, and read out the military list aloud... Wu Hou died in the army at the age of fifty-four.
Cheng Zhijie is much taller than the middle-aged uncle. Even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, when fatness was regarded as beauty, they only liked the beauty of plumpness, not the beauty of flowers.
When Li Yuanying smiled, Li Shimin couldn't hold it any longer and hugged Princess Jinyang, laughing so hard.
Princess Jinyang: "..."
Something funny happened, can anyone explain it?
Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan, who just came from Tangli Garden: "..."
The two of them checked each other's faces and clothes. Are there any problems?
Yang Shidao, Li Jing and Tang Jian couldn't help laughing, and the main hall of Fengheyuan was filled with happy air.
Oh, and the tool man Li Zhi, his way of laughing is relatively reserved, he just fell on the pillow, holding his stomach and laughing... I couldn't help it, my stomach cramped a little from laughing~
Cheng Zhijie: "..."
Just laugh, young people, I just think it’s a monkey show, hum ╯^╰!
"It has nothing to do with you two." Li Shimin finally suppressed his smile, put Princess Jinyang aside, regained the composure and calmness that an emperor should have, and smiled softly at Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun.
After the two sat down, Yu Shinan crossed his hands and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Gao has taken a rest in Huliang Garden, and Duke Sun's disciples helped him make a bowl of soothing soup."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, told a few things about Gao Jian and him, and said in a low mood: "My uncle is already sixty-three years old, but I always bother him with political affairs. I really have failed the queen's instructions."
Li Yuanying lowered his eyelids and rolled his eyes secretly. My sister-in-law told you that I am a concubine from my sect and should be careful not to act in positions of power, but I am lucky that my relatives are invited by the court, and I have not seen you obey. I have to admire my sister-in-law for knowing her brother's thoughts clearly. To be honest, many big companies in later generations cannot completely eliminate the influence of nepotism.
Eighty-two-year-old Ouyang Xun: "..."
Eighty-one-year-old Yu Shinan: "..."
Sixty-eight-year-old Li Jing: "..."
Tang Jian looked up at the sky. He was only sixty years old, still very young.
Yang Shidao had an appropriate smile on his face. It was neither too bright to be annoying nor too indifferent, like a sneer. He was only forty-three years old, and whatever His Majesty said was what he said.
"Aye, Duke Gao will have no worries when Sun Gong is here. I once heard that during his early career, Duke Gao was implicated and went to Jiaozhi County for several years. It would be better to invite monks from various temples in Chang'an to go to Jiaozhou to pray for the people and bring peace to Duke Gao." Li Zhi stood up, crossed his hands and saluted, and said respectfully.
Li Shimin: "..."
Everyone: "..."
