Inspection history, within the scope of duties, is to supervise people's livelihood and officials' discipline.
The term of office is five years, and he will return to Chang'an after five years.
At that time, the emperor will evaluate his achievements in the past five years and promote him as appropriate.
To be honest, this official position was already very advanced in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, after Li Shimin established the inspection history, he was more concerned about people's livelihood.
After all, if you, the inspector generals, want to be promoted, you have to satisfy the people and strictly investigate corrupt officials.
But how could he have imagined that in the peaceful and prosperous world in his eyes, there could be such dirty things.
Li Shimin raised his head and smiled, his smile cold.
"A mere Qin family has ignored the laws of nature and exploited the people to this point..."
"Everyone, how do you think I should investigate and deal with it?"
Li Shimin came to this People's Congress to listen to the praises of the people.
As a result, the opponent came up and gave him a hammer blow.
With Li Shimin's face-conscious personality, how could he endure it?
Besides, even if it's not a matter of face, if someone dares to play a trick under his nose, can he tolerate it?
Li Shimin raised his head and called out: "Biography, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Li Jing..."
When the People's Congress was held, Li Shimin gave these ministers orders.
No matter what time the meeting goes on that day, these ministers have to wait outside and arrive at any time.
So, it didn't take long for Li Jing to come to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "I heard that there is a Qin family in Xiangzhou, Shannan Road, right?"
"I have heard of it."
Li Jing answered truthfully.
Li Shimin said again: "I order you to take my Shangfang sword and set off on a certain day to Shannan Road."
"After arriving, officials were sent to investigate the Qin family's occupation of land and oppression of the people."
"Once we find out that the truth is true, we will punish the other three clans to serve as a warning to others."
"Instead of colluding with the officials, they were all dismissed, their assets were confiscated, and the whole family was exiled to Mobei."
"My lord, I obey the order."
Li Jing stepped in and walked away.
At this moment, Li Shimin once again faced the people: "How do you think I handled it?"
No one in the crowd spoke.
There was silence.
But as the old man from the Qin family who participated in the performance bowed to the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, His Majesty, His Majesty," the whole place instantly burst into cheers for His Majesty's Majesty.
And this voice was what Li Shimin wanted to hear.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Since everyone is satisfied, let's continue."
"As long as what you say is reasonable today, I will do it."
"And I just put this sentence here. Even if all officials of the Tang Dynasty are dismissed today, I will still give justice to the people of the world."
His words have already shown his attitude.
When these words fell into the ears of the people, some people were moved to tears.
Li Shimin is really the most wise king in the world...
It was also with Li Shimin's words that some people began to express their frustrations.
In response to the voices of these people, Li Shimin agreed to whatever he could.
Those who couldn't agree would not refuse. They only said that they would make a proposal in the court and discuss it with the ministers before deciding.
By the time the night was getting darker and the full moon was rising in the sky, there were no more comments from the people in the venue.
At least half of the more than 400 people's representatives have expressed their opinions.
The remaining two hundred or so people remained silent, not because they were afraid of Li Shimin.
It’s because there’s really nothing left to say.
Their words were all finished by the people before them.
But Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied with this.
He enjoys the process of people giving him opinions.
He looked at the representatives of the people around him and asked, "Everyone, do you have anything else you want to say to me?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said a word.
Li Shimin sighed, and at the same time he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Of the more than 400 people, 200 gave me advice.
More than one hundred of them asked him to investigate and deal with corruption among local families and officials.
The other dozens of people told him about the shortcomings of the imperial decree.
This was actually enough to hurt Li Shimin's self-esteem.
If there were more than two hundred left, they would all say this.
I'm afraid Li Shimin can't bear it anymore.
At this point, the first half of the People's Congress has come to an end.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Instruct the imperial kitchen to serve wine and food!"
Following his instructions, not long after, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army slowly came over carrying dinner plates one by one.
The delicacies and wine on the dinner plate were placed one by one on the small table in front of the people's representatives.
The real banquet begins here.
Li Shimin picked up his wine glass and faced many people's representatives.
"The first glass of wine is a tribute to the martyrs of the Tang Dynasty."
"Without their bloodshed and sacrifice, our Tang Dynasty would not be as prosperous and strong as it is today."
When he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
The people also raised their glasses one after another and drank all the glasses.
The little eunuch beside Li Shimin filled his wine glass.
"My country is also your country."
"The world is not owned by Li and I, let alone the Li family."
"This world belongs to the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"So, with this second glass of wine, I would like to pay tribute to everyone present and thank you for your contribution to Datang over the years."
After speaking, Li Shimin drank the wine in the glass again.
The people also followed suit, but their hearts were inevitably mixed with a few different emotions.
When Li Shimin raised his glass for the third time.
He slowly said: "I, Li Shimin, have been on the throne for three years and have been fighting for three years, starting from Liang Shidu, then to the Northern Desert Turks, and then to Tuyuhun in the Western Regions."
"In the past three years, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty died on the battlefield one after another."
"Among these people are your relatives and your sons and daughters."
"You have given me everything you can, but I still let you down."
"So, this third glass of wine is for me, Li Shimin, to apologize to everyone."
"Similarly, I, Li Shimin, want to thank everyone for being willing to give me a chance to change my ways when I, Li Shimin, can't see clearly."
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Looking at him, it didn't look like he was toasting, but he felt like he was about to get drunk.
A one-armed middle-aged man in his forties suddenly stood up after drinking all his wine.
He said: "Your Majesty has nothing to apologize to us for."
"We were born in the Tang Dynasty and grew up in the Tang Dynasty. We should serve the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."
"Don't talk about others, just me, Lao Geng. I have been following His Majesty since Jinyang raised troops to overthrow the Sui Dynasty."
"Perhaps Your Majesty has not paid attention to me, but I was fortunate enough to witness in the army the defeat of Xue Ju, the battle against Song Jingang, the killing of Liu Wuzhou, the destruction of Wang Shichong, the annihilation of Dou Jiande, and the severe injuries to Liu Heitai and Xu Yuanlang."
"I have witnessed His Majesty's bloody journey and witnessed His Majesty's overcoming thorns along the way."
"Your Majesty is devoted to the Tang Dynasty. Why did you do anything wrong? Why should others give you a chance to change your ways?"
"I am old, I have no arms, I can no longer hold a knife, but one day His Majesty calls, I will re-enlist in the army and die loyally for Your Majesty."
Once you say this, don't tell anyone else.
Even Li Shimin's heart was touched.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
He seemed to have seen those military days.
I also saw myself who was overcoming obstacles and moving forward indomitably...
"Fight for the Tang Dynasty, fight for Chang'an..."
